Chapter 239 Waiting

Ved followed Lupin and Sirius and worked for most of the day before they were ready.

The open space in the woods was surrounded by branches and nets. The wildly growing shrubs refused to allow any animals to enter, and the devil's net hidden in the bushes ensured that even a mouse could not get in.

The surroundings were arranged with living environments suitable for different creatures, such as freshwater pools and seawater pools, such as small deserts and snowfields, and meteorological magic fixed them in their respective forms.

Ved was jealous, and he actually wanted to move these environments to his own wardrobe space and complete the Animagus transformation in it.

But Lupin refused.

"The wardrobe space is indeed safe and can ensure that it will not be disturbed by the outside world, but you can't transform there because it is separated from the real nature."

Lupin said: "In the process of transformation, you need to establish a deep spiritual contract with your inner animal form. This process will be more successful in a natural environment."

"Although there is no evidence, there are many examples of failure in transformation in closed rooms or caves. Therefore, wizards have summed up experience-the first transformation of Animagus must be carried out in a wide place."

"And you know, Remus and I are not very good at weather spells."

Sirius used ropes to wrap several vines around a wooden stick and said: "These environments can only last for a limited time. After ten days or half a month, it will definitely gradually lose its magic and is not as useful as you think."

In fact, it can last for ten days and half a month, which is already amazing. But it is still far from the environment in Scamander's suitcase space, which is almost the same as the natural world.

Ved could only sigh regretfully.

Wake up the next morning, Wade looked at the time, finished the spell as usual, then turned off the alarm that was about to scream, opened the curtains and looked outside.

The sky was overcast, and the air seemed extremely humid, making it seem a little difficult to breathe.

It seemed that the clouds in the sky were brewing a heavy rainstorm.

Wade washed up and walked downstairs with expectation.

Lupin was sitting in front of the table flipping through a book. Hearing the footsteps, he looked up and smiled: "Today's breakfast is fried toast and oatmeal porridge. What do you want to drink? Orange juice, black tea, or milk?"

"Remus, you didn't sleep last night?" Wade asked in surprise, smelling the fragrance in the air.

He got up with the sun, which was early enough, but he didn't expect Lupin to even prepare breakfast.

"Slept, I just got up early." Lupin said with a gentle smile.

"Don't be so anxious." Wade sat down and picked up the toast, saying: "It's just the Animagus transformation, it should be familiar to you."

Lupin smiled.

Perhaps because he had seen too many failed Animagus cases recently, Lupin was more worried about his transformation than Vader himself. His mood changes were like the weather outside the room, the darker the clouds, the worse his mood.

Vader was much calmer.

He had been preparing for this day for a long time.

Just like the final exam, the efforts of a whole semester were only verified in the last exam. He had laid enough groundwork in the early stage, and when the formal exam came, he felt that it was just ordinary.

After breakfast, Vader took a book on biology from the bookshelf, which contained the limb structure, bone and muscle distribution, living habits, etc. of various animals.

This book was almost torn apart by them, but Vader still didn't know what his animal form was.

It is said that only before the transformation, the creature to be transformed will appear in the mind.

If there is hesitation, fear or regret at that time, the Animagus transformation is likely to fail, or worse - the transformation is incomplete, retaining too many human characteristics, and even turning into a monster.

While reading, Wade couldn't help but think: Banshees... and Centaurs... Could their birth be due to the failed magic performed by wizards in ancient times?

Of course, this unfounded conjecture is destined to be unverified. If those two races hear it, they might get beaten.

He read for more than an hour before Sirius opened the door and walked in.

"Hey, Remus, what delicious food did you make?"

...

After breakfast, the three of them spent some time in the living room doing nothing, and then they felt that they couldn't wait like this, so they simply went to the village for a walk.

Wade bought some school supplies, brought some small gifts for others, and bought a pack of prank products for the Weasley twins.

They sat at the Three Broomsticks for a while, and Ms. Rosmerta was no stranger to Wade. She brought Wade a glass of completely non-alcoholic butter beer, which was no different from other people's beer in terms of color, and even the foam was very similar.

It was only from Madam Rosmerta that Vader learned that the butter beer she gave most people was made by boiling ordinary beer and then adding melted butter.

Non-alcoholic beer is made from milk, brown sugar, butter, vanilla powder and the like, and is a little more expensive than the former.

"I usually only provide this to girls and children." Madam Rosmerta leaned against the counter and said with a smile: "Poor Vader, who made you unable to drink alcohol?"

Lupin put his hand on Vader's shoulder and said: "He is still a child now!"

"Oh, yes, I forgot." Rosmerta teased, "Maybe because he is always with adults, I also forget his age."

"Madam, give me another beer."

Sirius put down the empty glass, and then said to Wade: "There is nothing wrong with drinking a little, Wade, giving it up is equivalent to giving up part of the fun of life. When I was in Azkaban, I always missed the taste of this place."

He looked drunk after drinking only a little, and his gray eyes also looked dim and turbid.

"Sirius!" Lupin said suddenly.

"Yeah, I'm sober!"

Sirius nodded twice randomly, drank the refilled wine in one breath, and then packed a few bottles of butter beer with Madam Rosmerta.

"When you succeed..." he said to Wade, "We'll drink to celebrate."

But when the three of them stepped out of the bar, Sirius, who seemed a little drunk, immediately sobered up. He looked at the sky and cursed in a low voice: "Shit!"

Wade also looked up, and the wind with moisture blowing on his face was a little cool.

The wind blew.

The rain was like silk.

It was not the storm they were waiting for.
