A day at Hogwarts

In the Transfiguration classroom, Professor McGonagall turned into McGonagall and then back again, winning a round of applause from the students.

Today’s class is about the theory of Animagus.

Professor McGonagall asked: "Can anyone tell me about the Animagus?"

She was giving Gryffindor points in disguise.

As expected, Hermione immediately raised her hand and replied: "Animagus is a magic that allows a wizard to turn into an animal at will, and then change back again at will... blah blah blah..."

She was more endorsing than answering the question, but it also earned points for Gryffindor.

Professor McGonagall asked Hermione to sit down and said, "Animagus, Disguise Magus, and Human Transfiguration. These three need to be distinguished."

"Metamorphomags are genetically inherited and can change their appearance and hair on their own."

She gestured with her hands in front of her face and said, "You can also make a pig's nose or something like that."

After the students laughed for a while, Professor McGonagall's expression became serious: "Human Transfiguration not only allows people to turn into animals, but also changes into the appearance of other people."

"This is a very profound and dangerous magic. If you are not careful, it will have disastrous consequences. Very few people will try it, and even fewer people will succeed."

"However," her expression turned to admiration, "as far as I know, someone is trying to simplify this magic. Although there are many shortcomings in the details, the general idea is correct."

The students listened incomprehensibly. Only Charles knew that the person Professor McGonagall was talking about was Catherine Claytor from Waggadu. He was the one who helped her connect with Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall in the previous school year. She also helped buy the mandrake.

Then Professor McGonagall turned to look at Charles and became serious again: "Learning Animagus requires advanced knowledge of transfiguration."

"The fact that you are learning the Animagus theory now is not that you should try it now, but that you should be mentally prepared and have a learning goal."

"Animagus are strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic, and everyone needs to register with the Ministry of Magic."

"At Hogwarts, if a student wants to study, he or she must apply to the dean, and the application can only be made after the principal approves."

"Of course, there is no shortage of overconfident students. If you find anyone who suddenly stops talking for a long time, then this smart person must be holding a mandrake blade in his mouth."

"Every time something like this happens, most of them end up going to the school doctor's office for half a year."

Charles found that he seemed to be targeted by Professor McGonagall.

This was normal in the eyes of others, so Seamo planned to ask after class.

"There are also successful ones." Professor McGonagall looked at the other students, "Talbot Winger, a Ravenclaw student and his friend, graduated in 1991. He recently successfully learned to become an Animag. students of Sri Lanka.”

"Talbot Winger is a very smart student. His mother is also an Animagus and can transform into a white swan."

"Wenger learned about the Animagus with the help of his mother before he came to Hogwarts. He is an eagle."

"In the third grade, he secretly helped his friend learn to become an Animagus. He was also an eagle, but of a different species."

The students present exclaimed "Wow", and Charles was very depressed, why are other people's Animagus forms so cool!

"I'll reiterate it again!" Professor McGonagall looked at Charles again during the lecture, "I have no control over other colleges. Students in our college are not allowed to study Animagus in private. If I find out, I will ask their parents to take him away." go back!"

Charles has strong curiosity and execution ability, and is more talented and capable. Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore agreed that this boy would definitely be interested in Animagus, and they were worried that he would mess up, so they had to remind him repeatedly.

Others thought so too. When having lunch after class, Seamus asked him: "When are you going to learn Animagus?"

Neville next to him and Harry on the opposite side immediately looked at Charles, thinking that he was going to take advantage of the Animagus.

Charles made a depressed look and said, "Do you think I can handle not being able to eat properly for a whole month?"

Seamus nodded and said, "That's right."

Everyone knows that Charles is a foodie. He might accidentally eat the mandrake leaves. It would be very uncomfortable if he could not eat good food.

Seamus said: "Just give it a try. What if it succeeds?"

"Maybe I can work at the zoo in the future."

The people around him were amused by his words, and Neville almost choked.

Ron stuffed a small piece of sausage into Spot's mouth. This guy had lost his appetite recently and was frightened.

"I wonder what kind of animal Charles would become if he learned how to be an animagus," he said while trying to get his pet to eat.

Harry smirked and said, "Maybe it'll be a hamster."

Hermione said, "Maybe it's a wild boar."

Charles was too lazy to pay attention to them and just ate lunch on his own. He had a lot of things to do later.

After lunch, Charles went to the greenhouse to meet the students who came to earn pocket money.

There are 18 kinds of plants here, with 4 groups of each type and 5 pots in each group. So he asked the applicants to form a team of 4, with each team managing one type of plant, and each person focusing on one group, so that it is not easy to make mistakes.

You can get a considerable amount of pocket money by visiting the greenhouse at noon every day, which made many students take action, and it was quickly filled up.

Charles asked everyone to come over after dinner and spend some time for training. The cuttings can be planted tomorrow. After the seeds in the seedling pots germinate in two days, strong seedlings need to be selected for transplanting.

At this time, someone said worriedly: "We won't encounter dementors when we go out at night, right?"

Others were also worried. Although Professor Dumbledore promised that dementors would not enter the campus, they could not tell for sure at night.

"Yes." Someone else said, "I heard that someone saw a dementor entering the lake last night, and they didn't know what they were doing."

Charles pointed at Seamus and said, "It doesn't matter, Mr. Seamus Finnigan is here too."

Everyone suddenly felt relieved when they thought of the big hole in the train.

The first class in the afternoon was Herbalism, and Charles came directly to the greenhouse where the class was held.

When Professor Sprout saw Charles, he asked him: "Charles, you wouldn't come to the greenhouse to steal mandrake leaves, would you?"

Charles scratched his head depressedly and said, "Why does everyone think that I will be in a hurry to learn Animagus?"

Professor Sprout said: "Because you are so naughty."

Charles had nothing to say. He had made too many troubles, and the professors had left a certain stereotype.

In fact, the professors' ideas were not wrong. Charles had his own ideas. Naturally, it was not Animagus, but Human Transfiguration.

Back then, the old man got the mission reward from the Veela but failed to complete the mission. After learning about it, Charles got the magic from him. After learning it, he could transform into other forms without using Polyjuice Potion.
