Chapter 683 The Calm Before the Storm

After lunch, Harry and Ron were still speculating about Professor Moody's movements last night. Ivan and Hermione, who wanted to be quiet, had to hide in the library to avoid being questioned by the two.

"Are we going to continue practicing magic today?" Hermione asked, holding a thick book and sitting next to Ivan.

"No, let's read a book for a while. I just want to find some information." Ivan also stood up and took a few books on biological transformation from the bookshelf on one side and started reading.

Because he was busy investigating Barty Jr. and Moody, he almost forgot about this matter.

Fortunately, the poor Snorlax didn't starve to death. He put some grass, leaves and corresponding drinking water in the jar in advance, which was enough for the little guy to eat for a week.

After these few days of observation, Ivan finally determined that the Snorlax would never change back to its original form - that was a true biological transformation.

He once tried casting the Transformation Charm on the Snorlax again to turn it into a button.

The entire process of casting the spell was very smooth, without encountering any obstacles. It was no different from transforming other creatures in the past. After a period of time, the magic power disappeared, and the button would turn back into a Snorlax.

However, after several experiments, the poor little guy became a little nervous. Ivan was very worried about accidentally killing it, so he let it go and stopped tossing it.

Throughout the afternoon, Ivan kept searching for information related to high-end transformation magic.

Ever since his transformation skill reached level seven, his proficiency has grown like a turtle crawling, and normal magic practice has had little effect.

Therefore, he needs to find the key to biological transformation and understand the principle. If he can really crack it, his transformation technique may be able to rise to some incredible heights, and the benefits will be self-evident and far-reaching. Not to mention, at least he can have endless wealth.

After all, he can create creatures out of thin air, so isn't it easy to turn stone into gold?

Wait, turn stone into gold...

Ivan touched his chin, pondered for a while, then quickly threw the books in his hands aside, took an old book from the bookshelf on the other side, opened it and started reading.

"Ivan? Are you looking for something?" Hermione also noticed Ivan's strange behavior and asked curiously.

"Do you think it is possible for a wizard to transform a piece of wood into a completely non-existent creature and create a new species?" Ivan flipped through the book and said casually.

"How is that possible? Professor McGonagall told us when we first started school that magic cannot change the nature of things!" Hermione retorted, thinking that even Professor Dumbledore couldn't do such a thing. That's incredible.

However, Ivan shook his head, pointed to a certain line on the page in his hand, and said with certainty. "No, it's possible! Alchemy can do something similar."

Hermione stepped forward, took a look, and read out the sentence:

"Ancient alchemy involves the refining of the magic stone, a magical substance with amazing functions, the most commendable of which is turning stone into gold and brewing the potion of immortality..."

"This shows that it is possible to completely transform one thing into another... at least the magic stone can do this." Ivan raised his eyebrows and said excitedly.

Obviously according to the above records, the magic stone can transform matter, and it can change it completely, otherwise it would never be recorded in such a big book.

Because it's not a big deal to simply change a piece of gold. Many wizards can do this with transfiguration, but it is only a temporary change. It may be possible to fool Muggles. If you dare to use it in the magic world, you will definitely be arrested on the spot. Find it out.

Although this is somewhat different from his original biological transformation, both completely changed the nature of matter, and there may be some connection...

After consulting all this information, Ivan became more and more aware of how difficult it is to do this. Transforming matter and creating living things should originally belong to the realm of God. No wonder Nico Flamel said that the magic stone is alchemical. The ultimate creation...

"That seems to be true, but Ivan...what are you looking for with this information?" After seeing the description of the Sorcerer's Stone, Hermione stopped arguing with Ivan and said jokingly. "Are you planning to make a magic stone?"

"Maybe!" Ivan laughed.

Some time ago, his alchemy had reached the limit of level six. After returning this summer, he would like to ask Nico Flamel to find a way to break through. In that case, he might be able to have his own magic stone next year.

Hermione thought Ivan was joking, so she pretended to beg Ivan to turn her into a piece of gold.

The two chatted and flipped through books, and stayed leisurely until the evening. Then they packed their things and headed to the auditorium to prepare for today's dinner.

Even though he couldn't find many key clues all afternoon, Ivan was still in a good mood.

Because now there is no need to worry about the dark wizards lurking in the dark, and there are no messy conspiracies. Every day he just flips through books and bickers. This is the pleasant campus life he expected.

After dinner, Ivan went straight back to the dormitory, took out a quill and started writing a letter to Luna.

[I found some information about the Fairy Tracer Tree and the Crescent-Horned Snorlax. If you have time, we can meet under the Whomping Willow tree the day after tomorrow in the evening - your loyal friend Ivan Hals! 】

After writing the content of the letter, Ivan glanced at it a few times to make sure there were no mistakes or omissions, then called Maka and asked her to send the envelope to Luna.

Last time I was able to successfully resolve the misunderstanding with Hermione, thanks to the help of the little witch, Ivan naturally kept this favor in mind.

It just so happened that he got a living Snorlax. He had to take care of it regularly but couldn't find anything to research on it. He might as well treat it as a gift to Luna and let her raise it for him. He would ask Luna when he needed it. Just borrow it.

…

After sending the letter, in the next two days, in addition to attending daily classes and going to the library to read materials, Ivan went to the Forbidden Forest to find a more suitable venue for renovation.

How can there be no Fairy Tree without the Crimson-Horned Snorlax?

Although it is very difficult to create a fairy tree that only exists in imagination and can bloom beautiful flowers out of thin air, the seventh-level transformation technique is enough for Ivan to overcome various difficulties.

Of course, this Fairy Trace Tree is different from the Crescent-Horned Snorlax. It cannot exist forever. Everything is just a manifestation of magic power...
