Chapter 27

Devereux looked down at his watch.

Course starts at a distance.

There isn't much time left.

There are already many classmates in the classroom.

The environment started to get noisy.

Devereaux waved to Hermione to go to the Slytherin table.

Then he turned and left.

Devereux's appearance at this time obviously exceeded the expectations of the first-year Slytherin students.

Everyone looked at Devereux with big eyes and small eyes.

It was probably because I saw him not even finishing his meal yesterday.

Then he was taken away by Snape.

It felt like his expulsion was a sure thing.

But he is standing here alive today!

Whispers about Devereux also began to spread among students.

"What's going on? He was not fired. I thought I would never see him today!"

"Yes, yes, is it some other punishment? Solitary confinement or something like that?"

"I can't figure it out!"

But Devereux didn't care at all about the children's criticism of him.

Not interested in them at all.

Even the entries on his body.

The harvest was completed yesterday.

It has been collected into the lexicon database.

Feel free to find a seat near the front and sit down.

Although he has not yet loaded any entries on transformation from others.

But I also want to give it a try.

Is this talent of mine really useless?

I just don’t believe in evil today!

So Devereux was extra serious.

I vow to prove my ability!

Of course Devereaux was sitting in the front row.

It was also to be able to observe Professor McGonagall performing his most profound transformation technique for a while.

The whole process of Animagus.

Try to see if you can do it with just the entry for Magical Wizards.

Then he understood the details thoroughly.

pity.

He didn't succeed.

The school bell rings.

He didn’t take the tiger-striped cat that was lying on the podium.

He immediately jumped off the stage.

His body was seen twisting and turning rapidly.

When Devereaux couldn't even see the slightest detail.

A dignified and serious lady in a black and green robe stood in front of the podium.

Vice President of Hogwarts, Head of Gryffindor House, and officially registered Animagus!

Professor Minerva McGonagall!

Devereux was dumbfounded!

This process is not magic!

Or rather.

The process isn’t all magic!

Magic is only a very small part of it!

Devereaux vouched for his status as a wizard of magic.

Professor McGonagall just used a lot of magic power.

But to accomplish such a huge difference in transformation.

With Devero's only knowledge of transfiguration.

This is absolutely impossible!

unless...

The caster has transformed his body!

Devereaux recalled the fragmented records of the Animagus in the original work.

I vaguely remember.

In this process, a very complex potion needs to be taken.

The requirements are very demanding.

And then in certain circumstances and conditions.

Take the potion.

So, that means Animagus.

In fact, it is a cross-fusion product of transfiguration and potion science!

That's why it has such an effect.

Devero's eyes lit up at the thought.

He's not good at transfiguration.

But as a potion spirit.

He is a professional when it comes to innovation in potions!

Several potion ingredients that may bring corresponding effects immediately came to mind!

Keep arranging and combining them.

Try to see if you can deduce the potion formula on the spot.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of knocking on the wooden table suddenly brought Devereux out of his thoughts.

Devereaux looked up as if he was waking up from a dream.

Professor McGonagall was staring at him with an angry expression.

"Mr. Alexander, can you tell me what you are thinking?"

Devereaux immediately sat upright.

It’s really scary when a cat’s hair explodes!

"Professor, I'm wondering whether the Animagus is a product of multiple disciplines."

Professor McGonagall raised an eyebrow.

It seems that he did not expect to hear content about Animagus from the mouths of first-year students.

"Because from my observation, when you transform, you use very little magic power, which is not required for such a complex transformation, so I guess that the advanced human body transformation should not only be the effect of the transformation technique itself. "

Professor McGonagall put away her angry expression and looked at Devereux in surprise.

It’s not just the obscure term Animagus.

What's more important is that Devereux can actually see her magic power consumption.

This is truly unprecedented.

In this way, Professor McGonagall became somewhat interested in Devereaux's thinking.

"Well, that's true. So what are your thoughts on the realization of human body transformation?"

Devereaux breathed a sigh of relief.

continued.

"My current idea is to combine transfiguration with potions. In potions, the idea of ​​brewing compound soup potion is based on the transformation principle of the Disguise Magus, which is rare in the magic world. So maybe this idea You can continue to deepen the Animagus, but this time you need to let the potion completely change the body structure of the user, rather than having a temporary effect like Polyjuice Potion."

Professor McGonagall nodded slightly.

There was a rare smile on his face.

"Your idea is very similar to the mainstream view in the academic world. General human body transformation is indeed deeply integrated with potions. However, Animagus is a very dangerous magic that can be achieved only through potions and transformation. The effect of turning people into animals, but it cannot avoid other problems that will be caused in the process. You will understand this later when you reach sixth grade. "

"Listen carefully. You still have a lot to learn in school. Don't think about becoming fat in one sitting."

Finished.

Professor McGonagall turned and returned to the podium.

Devereaux nodded his thanks.

The professor probably didn't punish him because he was a first-time offender and the things he was thinking about were slightly related to the class.

But the other little wizards were confused.

"What are they talking about?"

"Yeah, what is an Animagus? I've never heard of it!"

"I heard from the professor that it seems to be content for sixth grade!"

"No, I'm in the wrong classroom? Is this still a first-grade Transfiguration class?"

"What first grade? This is definitely not an issue that should be discussed in the first grade!"

"Oh my God, in the first class here, the professor is already talking to other students about sixth grade content? What else are you learning!"

Even Slytherin, who had been criticizing Devereaux just now, began to doubt Devereux's identity.

"Is he the illegitimate son of a pure-blood family?"

"It's possible! Otherwise, how would you know so much!"

"And I beat the horse... I haven't been expelled or anything..."

"Yes, then we will have to..."

Malfoy was so angry when he heard this.

See Devereaux steal the show.

But it was even more uncomfortable than being scolded himself! !

Obviously, these unexperienced little wizards.

Got caught in it for the first time!

"Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous spell you will learn at Hogwarts."

Professor McGonagall standing on the podium said,

"Anyone who is naughty or distracted in my class will be asked to go out and will never be allowed to come in again. I have warned you."

As he spoke, he glanced at Devero intentionally or unintentionally.

Devereux shrugged helplessly.

The following is the official course.

Professor McGonagall transformed her desk into a pig and back again.

Many changes have been made in succession.

Suddenly, all the little wizards in the room were very interested in this course.

Probably more excited than just seeing Professor McGonagall transform from cat to human.

Maybe they think it's not good to turn into an animal?

But all in all, everyone's interest was immediately aroused.

Devereux watched it with great interest.

It’s time to say it or not.

He is worthy of being a teacher with a good teacher entry.

Professor McGonagall is also good at mobilizing the atmosphere.

Then Professor McGonagall began to talk about various precautions.

"Transformation is an extremely complex spell, and correspondingly, it is extremely dangerous. Why do you say that?"

Professor McGonagall waved her wand.

Countless powders of various colors are sprayed from the tip of the wand.

They instantly condensed into a picture similar to a 3D stereoscopic projection.

I saw the powder constantly turning into various twisted human bodies.

A body that merges human and animal.

Even a completely collapsed mass of flesh and blood!

The disgusting scene made the young wizards present turn pale.

Devereaux looked thoughtfully.

Is this the result of incorrectly casting Transfiguration?

It seems that the risk is indeed not low!

If you take action rashly.

I'm afraid I'm going to turn myself into some kind of monster.

Learning about Animagus requires long-term planning.

"These are all tragedies caused by using transfiguration and forgetting the greatest principle of transfiguration."

Professor McGonagall emphasized to the students extremely seriously.

"And the biggest principle is to be cautious! They all rashly used deformation on themselves or others when they were not fully prepared, which ultimately led to tragic endings!"

"The legendary Anubis, who protected Egypt, was an extremely powerful magic master who could even bring people back to life. However, such a powerful wizard was unable to change his head from the body because of his reckless use of human transformation. The jackal came back and lost half his sanity!"

"There are too many such examples, the Sphinx who is half man and half lion, the Minotaur with a minotaur and a body, the Centaurus who became half man and half horse in order to gain the energy of a horse, etc."

"So I hope that you will always remain cautious and focused in the process of learning the art of transfiguration."

Devereaux listened.

Nod slightly.

When I saw the entry on the shape-shifting monster before.

He was still wondering.

Why is prudence the most important quality of a shapeshifter?

Now I understand.

Because you are not careful, you probably haven’t become a master yet.

He went directly to meet the God of Death.

The little wizards who were eager to try just now.

Suddenly everyone felt a little depressed.

It seems that he is extremely afraid of such a result.

After doing the ideological work.

Then it enters the scope of theory.

Same as described in the original work.

These are the notes on transfiguration.

It’s so bitter and obscure!

Even now he has the entry of examination genius.

It's still a bit difficult to deal with.

Of course, he must be much better than the kid in the same first grade sitting next to him.

Deverot could see Malfoy biting his quill pen when he looked back because he was tortured by the course content.

His mood was a little better.

After the boring theory.

Finally, it was time for the practical part that Deverot was looking forward to.

He wanted to really try out his talent for transformation!
