Outside the forbidden forest, Felix, Professor McGonagall, and several students faced each other through a thick rain curtain. They held up their wands, and a fine airflow extended from the tip of the wand, forming a vague umbrella-shaped air wall above their heads. Keep rain out.

Several people present tried their best to control themselves not to see Professor Haipu, or to show strange expressions. Because the one holding the wand was not the professor himself, but a sniff. Varen sat on Felix's shoulder, his eyes jumping between the three students, Draco, Hannah, and Hermione. The big devil said that they would turn into small animals in a while.

Harry and Ron are also here, and their first excuse was to watch the transformation of Animagus, but Professor McGonagall sternly refused.

"It's not necessary."

However, the two played emotional cards, "We are Hermione's best friends, I'm really worried—" Unexpectedly, Professor McGonagall looked at them for a while before nodding in agreement. Harry and Ron whispered luck in their hearts.

"You can start now."

Professor McGonagall said when the first lightning flashed across the sky. Above everyone's heads, above the thick black clouds, a huge thunderbird of demon culture fluttered its wings.

Hermione, Hannah, and Draco staggered into the Forbidden Forest when they heard the sound, scattered in different directions, and disappeared into the storm in the blink of an eye. They want to get the crystal medicine bottle that was hidden at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Professor McGonagall clenched her wand in both hands. The rain from the wind had wet her hair, running down her pale cheeks, her knuckles turning white from the clenching.

"They'll be fine," she murmured.

Felix looked into the depths of the Forbidden Forest. The torrential rain and darkness did not block his sight. Against a gray and white background, the three glowing silhouettes kept moving away. At this moment, Felix suddenly turned his head and looked towards The direction of the castle when they came.

A flash of lightning flashed, and he seemed to see a vague silhouette standing on the castle balcony.

Felix narrowed his eyes.

Harry also followed Professor Hepp's line of sight, then opened his mouth in surprise, and exclaimed: "Neville?" In the darkness, a vague figure flew towards them, hidden in the frantic lightning. now.

Professor McGonagall jumped in surprise.

"You—Longbottom, how—" she said incoherently.

Neville gasped heavily, his face and body were completely wet from the rain, and his body was covered in mud, as if he had stumbled more than once. He announced breathlessly: "I--success--at sunset today--I feel--"

"You feel the throbbing of Animagus?" Professor McGonagall helped him finish.

"No, that's right," Neville said in the rain.

"Then as soon as possible, it's still too late," Felix said.

Neville nodded heavily, turned excitedly and ran towards the Forbidden Forest. Professor McGonagall looked at his back and exclaimed in a low voice: "It's incredible, including Longbottom, there are four in total... They all mastered the Patronus Charm... This discovery will surely become the most subversive transformation of this century. One of the theories."

She turned suddenly to Harry and Ron, and said solemnly: "Potter, Weasley, you must not give up, it is totally worth a try... I have to discuss with Fergill and Jameline, and suggest that they make time to learn the Patronus Charm... …”

Virgil and Jameline were the seventh graders of those two Transfiguration Clubs, and still insist on chanting spells every day at sunrise and sunset.

Harry and Ron nodded silently, feeling that the mandrake blades in their mouths were more important. The two silently exchanged glances and made up their minds that they should dine in the special cafeteria for the next period of time.

Felix looked up at the sky. The dark clouds completely obscured the moon, and the black clouds were occasionally punctured by a snowy lightning, leaving a solidified spot on the retina, and the thunder rumbled.

They waited silently, and finally the first person came back.

It was Hermione, her fluffy hair was clinging to her face now, her pant legs were muddy and shivering with cold, but she was clutching a small crystal vial in which the mixture of ingredients was now Has turned into a blood-red potion.

"Professor, I did it, the potion—" she said excitedly.

Felix raised his hand slightly with a smile on his face, and in front of Hermione, left and right, four walls rose to form a connected space.

"Miss Granger, you are only one step away from success."

"Ha!" Warren cheered her on.

Hermione took a deep breath, pointed the tip of her wand to her heart, and uttered the incantation with a vibrato: "Amado, Animo, Anima, Animagus." Then she drank the bottle in one gulp. the potion, closed his eyes and waited.

Several pairs of eyes were fixed on her movements.

"Teacher, professor...it's Beaver—my Animagos form," Hermione said uncontrollably.

"Very well, this is what we expected," Felix said calmly, with some convincing power in his tone, Hermione's teeth chattering, trying to hear what he said. "You should feel the pain and two pounding heartbeats right now. You have to blend into the other without hesitation. There is nothing to worry about. You have experienced a dozen transformations, and each time you are on the verge of losing control. Than, the wild shock of Animagus is not worth mentioning."

"Here we are," said Professor McGonagall sharply.

Hermione nodded slightly, trembling, and that's when the transformation began.

Harry and Ron had to fight hard to keep themselves from screaming.

They had seen Animagus transform, but when it happened to a familiar friend, they realized how weird it was. Hermione was undergoing complex human transformations in every part of her body - far beyond the knowledge they had been exposed to in class - her wet hair shortened a little, her head and body shrunken like a professor's scaling spell. , the outline of the head gradually transformed in the direction of the rodent, the clothes on her body continued to tighten and melt into the skin, turning into a kind of dark brown hair, her hands and feet became slender claws... A beaver appeared in the crowd in front of you.

"Clap!"

Hermione's wand fell off and twirled twice on the wet ground.

"Remember, think about how to properly place your wand before you transform." Professor McGonagall warned in the pouring rain, and Harry and Ron agreed.

Felix's eyes were shining, and he stared unblinkingly at the creature in front of him. It was about two feet long. Compared with the rodents of the same genus, the size of the beaver was relatively large, but it was dwarfed by other creatures. . Fortunately, none of the people present cared about the form of Animagus, and the meaning of magic itself was the most important.

From the perspective of magic power, the creature in front of him has almost no magic power fluctuations, and all the magic power converges in the deepest part of the body, almost solidifying, and it is somewhat similar to a squib.

There was a momentary daze in the beaver's eyes, and it made two short calls. "Shh—" Beaver glanced reproachfully at Ron, who was laughing, and Ron apologized sternly, "Sorry, Hermione. I'm looking for your wizarding trait, and I think it might be those big teeth. ."

Harry tried his best not to let himself laugh with Ron.

"Whoosh!"

Valen jumped off Felix's shoulders and stood in front of Beaver, gesturing excitedly.

Beaver barked twice, but unfortunately the language was not clear.

The rain split over Felix's head, and he leaned blankly against the raised fence. At this time, Warren was already writing in the air with his special wand. Beaver glanced sadly at the wand that had fallen on the ground, and then lowered his head to look at his short hand. The beard around his mouth was curled up, revealing a pair of Big die.

A slender palm was handed to it.

Beaver stared blankly at the pea in Felix's palm with a confused expression. Then he slapped his hands away in exasperation, his cry full of anger.

Felix pulled his hand back nonchalantly.

"Nice job, Granger. It seems that you can easily resist the wildness in your body, which is good, you can try to change back."

"Professor, did you even prepare this?" Harry asked, dumbfounded.

"I made a lot of preparations for the test." Felix said calmly: "In addition to peas, there are insects and pears that peacocks like to eat, and plant seeds that squirrels like. Of course, I didn't prepare Neville's share. But his patron saint is a cat, and I happen to have pickled dried fish here."

While talking, Hermione finally found a way to change herself back, and she straightened her messy hair. When he picked up his wand, he stared at Felix in disgust.

"Professor, you are really well prepared," she said angrily, and she almost couldn't resist the temptation to taste peas. It was hard for the professor to think of it.

"After transformation, the taste will change." Felix said briefly, as if explaining to Hermione, his eyes were still on her, and Professor McGonagall couldn't bear it and cleared his throat.

"Um—professor? What did you find?" Hermione said, flushing slightly, flushing slightly.

"Soul node," Felix murmured.

"what?"

"I'm not sure," Felix said after thinking for a moment. "Wizards' souls are markedly different from ordinary people, and I suspect that magic plays an important role. One proof is that even ghosts are magical, which gives them the The ability to slightly interfere with real objects. So what makes the wizard's soul so special, and what acts as the link between soul and body?"

"Do you think it's magic?" Hermione asked softly, while Harry and Ron exchanged a surprised look.

"Just a guess." Felix shrugged, the rain crackling on the leaves, and after a moment, he turned to look at the Forbidden Forest, where Draco Malfoy appeared at the edge of the forest, nearly ten times slower than Hermione. minute.

However, it was also possible that it was because he tidied up his clothes halfway through. His hair was straight and his clothes were dry. He walked towards them unhurriedly, with the red crystal bottle in his hand in the most conspicuous position.

Harry and Ron's mouth drooped down.

"Smelly show off." Ron whispered. Harry thought that was the point.

Draco was a little surprised to learn that Hermione had completed the transformation of Animagus, but he didn't mind an audience watching. After a while, he proudly showed off his gorgeous and beautiful peacock feathers, and even tasted Two pears provided by Professor Haipu.

As soon as he changed back, Ron ruthlessly preempted him by laughing at his brief out-of-control behavior, "so he wouldn't show it off in front of us," he said to Harry presciently.

"I'm just trying the taste of a peacock," Draco retorted, blushing, and Harry and Ron folded their arms and sneered at him, deciding not to admit anything Draco said.

Professor McGonagall ignored the childish behavior of these people. She walked up to Felix and looked worriedly at the dark Forbidden Forest.

"Felix... Hannah Abbott and Neville Longbottom have not returned."

"It really shouldn't," Felix said in confusion, "I know the approximate location where they hid the crystal bottle. It's not too far from here. Even if the road is difficult to travel because of the heavy rain, it should be back now."

"They won't get lost, will they?" Professor McGonagall raised an eyebrow.

They looked at each other, and both saw incredible things in each other's eyes. Two students get lost together? But there is such a possibility that Professor McGonagall let Harry stay in place, and she and Felix went to the Forbidden Forest to find it.

"You stay here, I don't want to wait for Longbottom and Able to get back, and you're gone again." Professor McGonagall said, Felix left Warren behind, took two broomsticks from the ring, and McGonagall said. Professor Ge jumped into the sky eagerly, and the two were gliding in the rainstorm.

"There."

After a few minutes of searching, Felix's magical vision paid off. They found Neville and Hannah about two kilometers from the edge of the Forbidden Forest. The two students were actually staying together.

Professor McGonagall fell from the air angrily, and then opened his mouth in surprise, not even noticing the rain pouring into it.

Two students—to be precise, there was only one person at the scene. Neville was wading hard through the mud holding a red squirrel, rain running down his hair. When he saw Felix and Professor McGonagall, Naville Wei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Oh—thank goodness—Professor, you count, Hannah, Hannah here." He showed the two professors the red squirrel lying quietly in his arms.

"Longbottom, what the hell is going on?" shouted Professor McGonagall, glaring at the red squirrel. "This is Hannah Abbott? She took the potion ahead of time? I didn't tell you you had to return with the potion, Is it taken under the supervision of a professor?"

The red squirrel trembled.

"Okay." Professor McGonagall sighed, took the red squirrel from Neville's arms sympathetically, and stepped aside to carefully appease Hannah.

Neville hesitated to explain what had just happened.

"After I got the potion, I planned to go back, but I saw Hannah passing by in the distance, that was through the deeper direction of the Forbidden Forest, I thought I was wrong..." "So you decided to follow up to confirm. ' said Felix. "Yes, Professor," Neville said softly. "Hannah ran very fast. The vision was so bad in the rain that she almost lost her way a few times, but I probably guessed that she was lost."

"We also guessed it, but why did she take the potion illegally?"

"Oh, professor..." At this time, Hannah successfully regained her human form under the guidance of Professor McGonagall, and she snapped and said, "I'm sorry, I-I got lost... I was worried that I wouldn't be able to catch up, so I decided, Decide……"

"Decided to transform in an unoccupied corner." Professor McGonagall said stiffly.

"Yes, yes," Hannah cried, "I'm sorry, I was too scared, worried that my hard work for a few months was in vain, so my brain was hot, I, I did a good job in the course of controlling wildness..."

"Miss Abbott, the courses that Professor Hep and I have prepared are not for you to use as an excuse to take risks." Professor McGonagall said sternly.

"Professor McGonagall," Neville said, plucking up his courage, "Hannah actually regained her senses, and I think she should go back to the venue—"

"You guys are very thoughtful." Professor McGonagall snorted. She raised her head and glanced at the sky. Almost an hour later, the clouds began to thin, and the figure of the thunderbird was looming.

"You wereted too much time before, Mr. Longbottom, I suggest you transform here, with Professor Hep and I watching... Is your potion still there?"

Neville nodded hastily.

After a few minutes, he transformed into a tortoiseshell cat, exactly like his patron saint. The tortoiseshell cat meowed twice, and a smile appeared on Professor McGonagall's tense face, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

So when Felix and Professor McGonagall returned from the Forbidden Forest, all four students completed the Animagos transformation. Professor McGonagall didn't mention Hannah's mistake in front of Harry and the others, but simply told them that because of time constraints, Hannah and Neville completed the transformation in the Forbidden Forest.

"Cool!" said Ron enviously.

The atmosphere on the way back was very relaxed, and Ron kept asking Neville and Hermione how they felt when they transformed, "Is it different from normal transformation?" By the time they returned to the castle, Hannah was already talking and laughing.

"You guys have a good night's rest tonight, don't try to shapeshift in private," Professor McGonagall said, "come to my office tomorrow morning, and I'll use the weekend to get you acquainted with shapeshifting as quickly as possible, and—you have a bunch of Forms need to be filled out."

She conjured hot cocoa with her wand, watched them drink it, and let them go.

"Minerva, don't be too harsh, at least the results are good, good--" Felix stammered, and he saw a smile suddenly blooming on Professor McGonagall's face, and she said excitedly: "What a day to remember, Felix Lix! I must go back for a drink."
