Chapter 25 [The Disappearing Mouse]

The auditorium.

Rock put away the practical guide on the way to the principal's office. He was not in a hurry to study the functions of the guide.

When there was no class, he could read the book slowly in the dormitory.

"Rock! This way!"

As soon as he arrived at the auditorium, Rock heard a familiar voice. It was Harry.

He took Ron and Rock's roommate to sit together.

Some grades have classes in the second period in the morning, and there is still some time before the end of the get out of class, so there are not many people in the auditorium now, and familiar little wizards can sit together for dinner.

"Rock, this is Ron Weasley, my roommate, who was mentioned before."

"Hello, my name is Rock Anderson." Rock took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with the other party.

"Call... just call me Ron."

Ron was a little shy. Yesterday, Ron complained to Harry that the clothes and wand he used were all left by his brother, and even his pet Scabbers were passed down to him by his brother Percy.

But after going to Diagon Alley before, Scabbers disappeared.

This made Ron very depressed. He felt that he was a hated child. Even Scabbers despised him and left him.

But Harry comforted him with his own experience.

Harry also told Ron that he knew a wizard of the same age from Ravenclaw who didn't have a pet and lived a happy life.

Now Ron finally met this little wizard.

Now he also understood why the other party was so happy.

If I was handsome and popular with my peers, I would be happy too!

After meeting Rock himself, Ron became even more depressed.

However, children's temperaments change quickly. They became familiar with each other after just a few words.

"My God, be careful when it's your turn to take the Transfiguration class!"

"Our dean will turn into a cat! She specializes in tricking those ignorant little wizards to go over, and then whoosh turns into an adult, and then severely deducts points from you!"

Ron used all his strength to make gestures, trying to let everyone understand what "fishing enforcement" means.

The few people who had never taken the Transfiguration class were stunned.

Minerva McGonagall, professor of Transfiguration...

She is also the head of the cat department, and she is very powerful.

Rock has a deep impression of her. Even the idea of ​​summoning multiple patronuses that came to his mind when he was practicing the Patronus Charm was inspired by McGonagall.

Because she can summon three patronuses, or three cats to be exact.

In the original book, she used the patronus to convey information to several professors, and she showed this skill. She is also the only one who has shown multiple patronuses.

However, unlike Rock, Professor McGonagall's is actually a cat that has been transformed into three parts. In essence, it is still a patronus, and it has not increased.

It can only be said that this may be a high-level magic skill related to the Patronus Charm.

Rock now actually has five wolf patronuses.

But Rock thinks it's pretty good, at least when he uses the Patronus Charm in the future, no one will ask questions.

There are too many people who have used the Patronus Charm to achieve strange effects. Dumbledore and McGonagall are close, and the giant patronus, the invincible Andros, is far away.

Then it won't be surprising if I summon the Nine-Tailed Fox, right?

If you can't use it, that's your bad luck. Just practice more.

"Rock, why can Professor McGonagall turn into a cat? Can Transfiguration be performed on herself?" Hermione asked Rock in a low voice. She didn't have the time to listen to their bragging.

Harry and the others over there started bragging to each other after a few words - what about the first grade, the dean valued the flying broom driving skills and asked him to join the Quidditch team.

Oh, Hermione didn't believe that someone could play the flying broom so well.

Right! It must be bragging, and it's definitely not because she was envious of it.

"I advise you not to perform Transfiguration on yourself. Your current level is far from enough." Rock took out the chocolate frog from the principal's office from his pocket, quickly unwrapped it, and put the chocolate frog into his mouth before it could move.

"It takes very little power to turn a match into a needle. But to turn a person into an animal, the magic power required is extremely strong. And if you want to turn yourself into an animal, it's like lifting yourself up with your own strength, which is almost impossible."

"But Ron just said that Professor McGonagall turned into a cat..."

"Yes, I also said 'almost' impossible. It is indeed very difficult to change yourself into an animal purely with your own power, so ordinary wizards need a little external help."

Rock put the wizard card on the table: "That is a long process. You can go to the library to check 'Animagus', a very advanced transfiguration."

"But in short, Animagus is actually a ritual magic. It is rumored to have come from ancient Egypt. This method uses the natural magic contained in potions and celestial phenomena, which can enable wizards to break through the shackles with the help of external reality and finally complete the transformation."

Ron, Harry and others who were chatting on the side stopped bragging to each other and began to listen quietly to the conversation between Rock and Hermione, feeling that knowledge was quietly flowing through their brains.

Seeing their gazes coming towards him, Rock silently protected the few chocolate frogs left in his pocket and continued:

"And this transfiguration technique called Animagus, in fact, some people are born with the ability to master it..."

What?! There are such talented people?

Ron, Michael and others glanced at Harry.

Harry: Don't look at me, I can't do it. I haven't even mastered the disintegration in the previous story, let alone this.

"This ability is called Metamorphmagus. This ability is innate. It can change one's appearance, hair color and other physical features. In other words, people with Metamorphmagus can change their appearance to anyone!"

Everyone was shocked and sweating.

Ron was happy. He had long felt that he was not well-received. He said excitedly: "If I have this ability, can I become as handsome and popular as you?"

Harry looked at his roommate Ron in silence. He now felt that it was a wrong decision to pull him over.

Unexpectedly, Rock nodded and said: "Yes, you can change into anyone's appearance, even Dumbledore's appearance.

"But even if you are not Metamorphmagus, you can change into someone else's appearance through Polyjuice Potion. "

But Rock was not sure if others could disguise themselves as him through the polyjuice potion. Rock guessed that if someone really turned into him, it would be likely that people would feel that although the appearance was the same, this person was not "Rock". The reason was probably very simple, without that kind of magical "charm".

"However, if you want to make yourself more popular, you don't actually need the polyjuice potion. Beauty potions will work better..."

The little wizards suddenly widened their eyes.

Is there such a thing?

Harry, who was obsessed with appearance, looked at Rock carefully, then nodded seriously and said:

"I suddenly look forward to Potions class. "
