Chapter 260 Learning Animagus

In the practice room of the Room of Requirement, Andy tried the effect of Transfiguration several more times.

"It's really different." Andy said excitedly.

Before this, Andy needed at least a few seconds to prepare for a biological transformation - this was the result of Andy's long-term practice.

It was not a simple matter to construct the creature you want to transform in your mind.

But when the [Thinking] attribute was improved, Andy's brain became quite active, and it became much easier to construct a transformed creature in his mind.

Andy summed it up.

A clear mind, quick thinking ability, super memory and logical analysis ability...

The improvement of [Thinking] brought Andy the benefits that were definitely no less than intuitive talents such as [Magic] and [Transfiguration].

Even because the brain became more flexible, Andy felt that he had become more handy in the application of spells. Quick thinking reaction can also improve Andy's actual combat ability.

In the past, Andy always envied Cedric's reaction speed, but when Andy's [Thinking] was improved, Andy's reaction speed and adaptability were also enhanced to a certain extent.

Finally, I don't have to envy others anymore.

"An epic level of enhancement!" Andy was very satisfied.

In addition to these obvious improvements, the increase in [Thinking] attributes has helped Andy the most in improving his learning ability.

Those magic books that he couldn't understand before, or were difficult to understand, can now be studied.

Andy waved his wand, and several transformed animals instantly returned to their original state.

"This level of Transfiguration... can already learn Animagus Transfiguration." Andy thought to himself

After closing the system panel, Andy got up and left the Room of Requirement.

...

"Sorry, Professor McGonagall, I'm bothering you so late." After dinner, Andy picked a suitable time to come to Professor McGonagall's office.

"Mr. Collins?"

Professor McGonagall was still correcting homework. Hearing this, she looked up at Andy and said, "What do you want?"

Andy said carefully, "Professor McGonagall, it's about learning Animagus Transfiguration... You said before that when my biological transformation reaches a certain level, you will guide me to complete the Animagus Transfiguration."

Professor McGonagall adjusted the glasses that were hanging on the tip of her nose and said in a serious tone, "That's the case. So... before we officially start learning, I must ask you a question."

"How much do you know about Animagus?"

Andy recalled the contents of the book, and then said solemnly, "Animagus is an advanced human body transformation technique. The function of the magic is to turn yourself into a certain kind of animal. After becoming proficient, you don't need to chant spells or use a wand."

"There will be certain risks when completing the transformation for the first time, so in addition to the advanced Transfiguration attainments, the study of Animagus also requires a little luck..."

"..."

Andy recalled the information he saw in the book and talked about it in combination with his understanding of Animagus.

Professor McGonagall listened carefully, and her expression became more and more satisfied.

The more Andy knew about Animagus, the more Andy had done his homework. He did not want to learn Animagus transformation just out of enthusiasm.

After Andy finished his understanding, Professor McGonagall said in a serious tone: "It seems that you have a deep understanding of Animagus, so you should know that since the 20th century, there have been only seven registered Animagus transformers so far."

"This is a very dangerous magic!"

At this point, Professor McGonagall glanced at Andy, hoping that Andy could understand the danger.

Andy spread his hands and said: "The small number of registered people does not mean that the number of people who have learned Animagus is small."

"If everyone knows about the animals that Animagus transforms, then this magic will lose its greatest effect."

The biggest role of Animagus is to explore intelligence and avoid danger. Andy believes that there must be many people in the magic world who conceal their Animagus transformation.

As for the dangers of magic...

It usually takes a long time to prepare to complete the Animagus transformation.

This long time is enough for Andy to add the [Will] attribute.

Andy now only has two points of [Will], and only needs [3] [Potential Points] to upgrade. At most, it will take more than a month.

With such preparation, it should be enough to learn Animagus.

Professor McGonagall did not persuade Andy anymore, but carefully explained to Andy the key points of learning Animagus. Andy quickly sorted out his mood and memorized every step carefully.

The process of learning Animagus is very tedious.

The first step is to hold a leaf of Mandrake in your mouth for a month.

You must keep it from one full moon to another, and you can't let the leaf leave your mouth in the middle, otherwise you have to start over.

After a month, you can use this leaf to make a potion for transformation.

Finally, bury the potion in a place where it will not be disturbed and exposed to sunlight, and wait for a thunderstorm with lightning to come, and then take out the potion.

If the potion is blood red, it means that all the steps are correct.

Now you can drink the potion and start the Animagus transformation.

Very complicated!

But compared to the complicated steps of magic transformation, Animagus is really very simple.

"Professor McGonagall..."

Andy asked tentatively: "There are a few things I don't quite understand. Why did the Animagus transform for the first time in a stormy weather with thunder and lightning?"

"And potions...are potions also necessary?"

Until now, Andy didn't quite understand the principle of Animagus transformation.

Potions, weather, can only transform into one animal...

There are too many unsolved mysteries here.

"besides……"

Andy continued to ask: "Professor McGonagall, I checked the information. It seems that the magic school in Africa can learn a variety of animal transformations... What is the principle?"

Professor McGonagall was not impatient by Andy's question. On the contrary, she was very happy that Andy could think of so much.

"I think I told you that Transfiguration will be the most dangerous magic you will learn at Hogwarts."

Professor McGonagall said seriously: "Unlike ordinary spells, transfiguration involves the conversion of substances. Human body transfiguration... is the most dangerous type of transfiguration."

"Animagus is different from ordinary human body transformation. It allows wizards to have an animal form. It can even be regarded as a permanent transformation."

"So we need to use some natural forces to complete the transformation."
