Chapter 368: An Attempt at Human Body Transformation
"Merlin's socks, Andrew, what happened today!"
With Hal's exclamation, everyone in the dormitory was woken up.
"It's so early in the morning, Hal, you bastard, why are you making such a fuss! Oh my god, Merlin's socks!"
Kevin's exclamation woke everyone up.
"No, Andrew, you were in the dormitory when you woke up in the morning!"
Hal stared at Andrew in confusion, as if something strange had appeared in their dormitory—such as a giant dragon or something getting in.
"I occasionally want to be lazy today," Andrew leaned on the bed and put down his notes. "Is there anything wrong with that?"
"You walk along the stairs even on rainy days. Today is incredible."
Hal put on his clothes and said, "No, I have to find out what something extraordinary happened. Yes, there must be something extraordinary."
He quickly put his clothes together and rushed out with a wait-and-see expression.
'This kid is crazy...'
Andrew shook his head helplessly - he just had to keep his physical strength intact today. Is it so surprising?
"Most people haven't gotten up at this point. Who can he ask?"
Kevin shook his head, with a look of disdain on his face, "I'm panicking - but, Andrew, is everything really okay?"
"No," it's really hard to say something like the Transfiguration experiment. "I have to go on duty as usual this morning, and I can't go to Hogsmeade. I have to prepare for the Quidditch tryouts in the afternoon, so how can I have anything to do. "
"Yes, it's time for selection. We have to inform Hal about the breakfast later. Don't let him wander around and forget what he's going to do."
"Who can forget it? It's a grand event for the college after all."
Andrew smiled and said, "We'll have dinner together later. While there's still time, who can play wizard chess with me?"
"Come on, come on!"
——
"Professor, I'm ready."
In Professor McGonagall's office, the professor looked at Andrew seriously, "The first human body deformation is extremely dangerous. Although we have made many plans, we still have to be careful."
"Well, I know that very well, Professor."
"That's good," Professor McGonagall nodded, "Then, stay in your best condition, and then, let's get started."
Andrew didn't speak, but responded directly with action. He exposed his left arm and held the wand firmly with his right hand, feeling the feeling of the arm extending. Then, he concentrated all his attention and gently held the wand. He clicked on his left arm.
According to the predetermined plan - if everything goes well, it will soon turn into the left arm of a red-haired baboon and be able to make the same movements as the baboon.
Then, Andrew can easily use the wand to transform it back into his original arm, and the experiment is considered complete.
‘If you fail, at least if you have more strength, you can still accomplish what 70% to 80% of your hands can do. ’
He thought happily, and then began to cast a spell to communicate with his left arm.
'The obstruction of one's own magic power, as well as the cognitive rules of the human body itself...'
He felt the power attached to his body more clearly than ever before - and even the existence of the magical protective power of the Sorting Ceremony.
However, these things were easily disintegrated under the impact of his spell, leaving only the protective power brought by the magic itself.
'Excessive force will cause irreversible and permanent deformation. It will be difficult for others to reopen their own magic protection. I...'
He carefully controlled the power, ensuring that it would not be too strong to erase the rules, and began to build up the power to cover up - baboons are a common imitation object of human body transformation, and the corresponding anatomy and changes are quite well documented.
‘The suppression was successful. ’
He was extremely sure of this - the magic power spread in the form of a spell, and the flesh and blood swelled almost instantly, and then quickly weaved into long velvet.
‘My left arm was so heavy that my body was a bit off balance. ’
Andrew moved the wand away and began to move his left arm - the feeling of heaviness and strength that was far beyond usual made him know very clearly that this transformation was successful.
"It's not just heavy, Professor."
Andrew tried to grasp and pick up things - his fingers were much more clumsy than before, unable to bend and pinch flexibly, and he could not even control the strength that was far beyond normal.
But it's normal, it's a baboon's arm after all.
"There's nothing wrong with the appearance - try attacking."
As the professor spoke, he pointed his wand into the air, and a human-shaped target appeared on the spot.
"Bang!"
Andrew waved his left arm - easily hitting the target, and even directly blasted the target back to its prototype.
"There's a little too much magic power leaking out."
There was a slightly worried look on the professor's face - the deformation of the human body was not about strength.
"Get back to yourself, Taylor."
"Yes, Professor."
Andrew nodded and clicked the wand on his left hand. As expected, it quickly returned to its previous shape without any change.
He began to turn over, loosen his hand, and take things. After completing a series of checks, he finally nodded, "There is no problem."
"It seems that the problem is your own protective magic, not the overflow of the spell," Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief, "Very good, let's do it again, as before, don't think wildly!"
This time it's the orangutan's arm - still safe.
After the monkey arm was transformed once more, Andrew finally breathed a sigh of relief. The three transformations were fine, and he basically controlled the strength required for human body transformation.
After that, the transformation of other areas can be carried out, and then the local transformation test can be carried out, and finally the whole body transformation can be completed.
But the last one is the most dangerous - whether it is Animagus transformation or whole body transformation, if you are not proficient enough, it is easy to cause the consequence of not being able to transform into a human form. However, relatively speaking, Animagus is safer after success, and will not cause the tragedy of the five-legged monster.
"Still the same warning as before, Taylor," Professor McGonagall nodded, "Before you have practiced enough full-body transformation, don't try to touch the rules of human transformation, let alone try to adjust them, it will be completely irreversible."
"Similarly," the professor's tone became a little stern, "Even if it's a joke, you can't use Transfiguration on other students to turn them into other creatures - detention is not allowed, and the relevant corporal punishment has been cancelled by Albus, don't listen to Filch."
Being able to cast spells on yourself is the pursuit of human transformation, which belongs to the core of the core. After the first step is successful, you can easily turn other wizards into the image of human transformation you have mastered, because compared to casting spells on yourself, the latter is not too easy.
Some wizards who have taken a side path even skipped the orthodox practice directly and only pursued the transformation of others. This is the practice mode that tends to be black magic.
? ? ?
Transform into other creatures?
No - how on earth is such a dangerous thing allowed!
"I will remember this and will not perform human deformation on any students without permission."
"Anyway, the first step is successful," the professor nodded, "you can practice with peace of mind before deforming your own head. Congratulations, Taylor, you can get full marks for NEWTs."
Even in the advanced class, a wide range of human deformation is a training that only a few students can do - the entire human body deformation is completely beyond the scope of the assessment.
"Okay, don't do more practice, remember this deformation well, Taylor, go back and rest, tomorrow, um, tomorrow morning, under my supervision, do the second deformation."
