Chapter 193 I Am the Most Familiar Eagle in the Whole Hogwarts Road!
"Night Owl? Why did I become like this? Is this impossible? It would be great to change to a phoenix, a thunderbird or something." Ivan stood by the pool, looking at the reflection in the water, and said helplessly.
As the transformation was completed, the system's beep sounded in Ivan's mind at the same time.
[Ding, your transformation level has been improved, currently level 5 (3/3200)]
[Ding, special magic: Animagus transformation (owl) has been unlocked. 】
"I know I became an owl, but can't I change it to another name like Night Owl?" Looking at the name of the Animagus transforming creature in the system, Ivan couldn't help but complain.
Perhaps sensing Ivan's request, the system bar was converted from the Chinese interface to the English interface, so that there is no need to worry about the problem of nicknames, because they are all the same word.
Ivan rolled his eyes. The only thing he was thankful for was that his transformation technique, which had been stuck for a long time, was finally upgraded as he expected.
It's just that Animagus is a special kind of magic. There is no level display, but it increases with the level of transformation.
"Forget it, just an owl," Ivan sighed.
Since the Animagus form has been determined and cannot be changed, Ivan quickly accepted this fact and studied the help this form could bring to him.
The most important thing is concealment!
As the wizard's most powerful animal companion, the owl is everywhere in the magic world. When necessary, he can disguise himself as a messenger owl and enter various places without being targeted.
What makes Ivan slightly dissatisfied is that in the form of an owl, he cannot cast spells at will.
Although he still possesses magic, he cannot use it without the guidance of a wand, gestures, and spells.
This makes the combat effectiveness in this state very worrying.
Ivan couldn't help but think of the fast-running tabby cat in the Forbidden Forest last school year. Maybe there was some way to improve his combat effectiveness in Animagus form.
If he remembered correctly, Sirius, who was also an Animagus, turned into a dog and even restrained Lupine, who went berserk and turned into a werewolf.
This is not something that ordinary large dogs can do
Thinking of this, Ivan stopped worrying and flapped his wings hard to adapt to his new body. It didn't take long for him to fly again crookedly.
Since the time limit of the experience card has not yet ended, it didn’t take long for Ivan to gradually master the normal flying skills. In this dense forest created by the Room of Requirement,
Ivan soon realized that being able to fly freely was a huge advantage in itself. Compared with turning into other creatures, the safety factor and maneuverability were much higher.
More importantly, feeling the oncoming breeze, Ivan felt that this was much more refreshing than riding a broom.
After adapting for a while, Ivan remembered his exploration mission, and now he seemed to have found a way to complete it.
Sneaking into the dormitory as an owl is much safer than using Polyjuice Potion.
Unless his acting skills are too bad, or he collides head-on with a master of transfiguration like Dumbledore, otherwise, he can come and go freely throughout Hogwarts.
Ivan no longer hesitated, opened the door with difficulty, flew out of the Room of Requirement, and wandered around Hogwarts Castle.
At this time, it was already evening, and the little wizards who had just had dinner were chatting and laughing in twos and threes, and returned to the dormitory.
Ivan flapped his wings and flew through the air without anyone noticing, and he could even eavesdrop on their conversation, because to outsiders, he was just a gray owl, and there was nothing to pay attention to.
What surprised Ivan even more was that this form helped him far more than that. Due to the transformation, he also automatically mastered a foreign language - owl language!
Whenever an owl flies by him, Ivan can get some information from their hoots.
"Cuckoo~ (Go deliver the letter)" This is a postman owl.
"Goo-mi, coo-coo~ (I'm so hungry, I can't fly anymore)" This is a thin owl.
"Coo coo coo coo (our Slytherin password today is pureblood)" This is an owl raised by Slytherin.
Although most of the content of owl calls is useless nonsense, occasionally a small amount of interesting information is revealed.
For example, the password to enter and exit Slytherin's dormitory today,
This discovery made Ivan very happy, because it meant that he could go to Slytherin's dormitory for a walk.
Just as Ivan was about to take action, a gray-white leisurely owl with an envelope tied to its feet slowly flew past him.
Ivan was stunned and turned his head suddenly.
Hey, why does that owl that delivers letters look so much like me?
That's not as good as
Thousands of thoughts passed through Ivan's mind. He quickly turned around and flapped his wings to catch up with the owl that looked very similar to himself.
"Gu, Gu Gu, Gu Gu Gu~ (Hey, where are you going? Do you need my help to show you the way?)" Ivan tried to communicate with the other party in Eagle Language, which he didn't know how many levels.
"Cuckoo (go to Ravenclaw's women's dormitory to deliver a newspaper, I know how to go by myself, I don't need you to show me the way!)" The gray-white owl glanced sideways at Ivan and cooed.
Ivan suddenly felt his eyes light up. He was worried that he didn't have a suitable identity to explore the women's dormitory. Isn't this a good opportunity?
"How about I come and deliver the letter for you? This way you can have a rest. You know, I am the most familiar hawk in the whole Hogwarts Road. Everyone calls me the little messenger who loves to help hawks." Ivan Gu Said cooingly.
"Gu, Gu Gu~ (No, I must deliver the letter myself!)" The gray-white owl ignored Ivan's suggestion and flew forward on its own.
As a self-disciplined owl, it will not let other eagles deliver messages just to be lazy.
Ivan tried to comfort him, but the other party still looked indifferent. Ivan had no choice but to use a trick.
Ivan flapped his wings violently and rose into the sky, but then crashed down again at an even faster speed.
The night owl pounces!
The sensitive hearing allowed the gray-white owl to detect the danger in advance, but it was obviously too late at this time. He only had time to make a "coo" sound before being slapped to the ground by Ivan's wings.
After succeeding in one move, Ivan continued his attack and swooped down, his wings beating wildly.
As the magic power circulated, Ivan was surprised to find that he was stronger than before, and he knocked the innocent owl unconscious in a short time.
Then, Ivan slowly untied the string holding the newspaper from the opponent's feet, held the newspaper in his mouth, and pretended to fly towards Ravenclaw's dormitory.
From now on, he is a messenger owl
