Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

"We have since obtained leaves and saliva after being exposed to moonlight, solutions after adding hair, solutions after adding dew, solutions after adding Grimace Hawkmoth pupae, solutions left out while waiting, solutions after lightning Solution, etc..."

"We measured hundreds of samples in stages and gained some basic understanding of some of the changes in Animagus deformation."

"First we found that through the 'ritual' of holding a mandrake leaf in the mouth from full moon to full moon, the wizard developed a magical connection with the potion."

"In this process, on the one hand, the leaves are used as a potion material, mixed and fermented with the wizard's saliva, and become the ingredients that make up the Animagus potion. On the other hand, because the wizard continues to work for a month, "Mandrake leaves are a component of the earth's medicine, and the leaves also serve as a link between wizards and potions, connecting the two."

"Secondly, the pupa of the Grimace Hawkmoth is a symbol of 'transformation', 'embryo' and 'gestation'."

"We tested many solutions that were placed during the waiting period and found that the wizard's hair would dissolve quickly and disappear completely in about a day or two. And through fluorescent labeling, we found the components of the wizard's hair in the pupae of the grimace hawkmoth. "

"Not only the hair, but also the early leaves, saliva and other components will penetrate into the Grimace Hawkmoth pupa to varying degrees."

"It becomes an incubator, the connection established with the wizard through the mandrake leaves, becoming the wizard's 'one soul and two souls'."

"In about two weeks, the pupae of the Grimace Hawkmoth will also dissolve. In the solution at that time, we will detect DNA components that are completely different from the Grimace Hawkmoth and from humans."

"The solution at this time is extremely unstable. I will introduce this to you in detail later. It is difficult for us to extract sufficiently complete DNA from the solution at this time, so it is difficult to analyze how this transformation occurs."

"But what is certain is that the solution at this moment already contains the genetic information of the animal that the wizard will transform into."

"After the thunderstorm, the intense changes in lightning or electromagnetic field seem to be able to stimulate a certain effect of the potion and complete it completely. At this time, the solution will become more stable, but it seems to be a very magical thing. , it can exist for a very short time, and we can hardly observe it effectively.”

"There are several concepts here that need to be explained to everyone."

"First, there's the magic ritual."

"We found that Animagus transformation is not an ordinary spell or potion, it is a magical ritual. Borrowing from the Conjuration Pathway Research Team, we can think of it as a manager of a certain magic—— Called the 'Magic Weave' by the Conjuration Research Group - a process of praying and making wishes."

"It requires both potions and spells, and it is continuous and requires a very long time to prepare. We have also seen some ritual magic in the library materials, both of which are very complex and effective. amazing."

"There are some steps in the ceremony that have no real effect, but cannot be omitted."

"For example, the first step is the time limit from full moon to full moon. We found that even starting from the middle of the month, as long as the mandrake leaves are broken into pieces and fully mixed with the wizard's saliva for fermentation, the ingredients will be the same as the original. But. Even if it were just one less day, the ritual would still fail, and so would one more day.”

"Colleagues from the Conjuration Research Group told us that this phenomenon also exists in many spells. They explained it with the 'conventional laws of magic'."

"It means that various types of magic or spells have a set of rules that have been established since ancient times. They may not be necessary conditions for spells or magic, but because the 'Magic Network' is used to such spell-casting conditions, there is a high probability that those who do not follow these rules will The magic used by this rule was judged as an incorrect spellcasting, resulting in failure."

"This is like a case. Although the law does not explicitly stipulate that certain conditions must be met before it can take effect, because previous cases have been decided in this way, subsequent judges will also make decisions based on past precedents. .”

"To break this 'convention' requires enough willpower and enough skills. At present, we have not studied the Animagus transformation to such an in-depth level."

"Therefore, this ceremony still needs at least more than a month to complete."

"However, we have found some ways to speed up the process."

"For example, when waiting for a storm to come, we can choose an area with rain and thunder, and we can wait for the weather we want faster."

"Even later, we discovered that strong electromagnetic field changes can also trigger the transformation of potions, but the effect is not very good."

"For example, in the second step, the potion must be placed in a quiet and dark place. We have some special black boxes to ensure this."

"This can be considered a loophole in the ritual and can make the entire transformation process more controllable."

"We can now control this variable to complete the entire Animagus transformation process within two months."

"And these controls on variables also deepen our understanding of Animagus transformations."

"The second thing that needs clarification is about the wizard's hair used in potions."

"In addition to the Mandrake leaves and the pupae of the Grimace Hawkmoth mentioned earlier, wizard's hair is also one of the most important core materials in Animagus potions."

"In fact, it's not just hair. Nails, blood, etc., as long as any body tissue containing genetic information can be used to make Animagus potions."

"However, it should be noted that these body tissues must have just been taken out of the shape-shifter. If the time is too long, even if they are cryogenically frozen to ensure that the cells contained in these tissues still remain active, it will not work. "

"This is because Animagus transformation not only needs to obtain the physical information of the shapeshifter, but more importantly, it also needs to obtain the wizard's 'breath'. That is a kind of 'magic characteristic', 'spiritual characteristic' or 'Personal temperament' kind of thing."

"This is consistent with what we found in the Polyjuice Potion study."

"In our research on Polyjuice, we found that Polyjuice can reproduce the mutilated limbs, scars and other acquired characteristics of a disabled person. Of course, these characteristics cannot be written into the other person's DNA, and are even related to epigenetic inheritance. No biological information is relevant."

"Therefore, we suspected at that time that wizards, or any person or animal - Polyjuice Potion can transform into a Muggle, or even make an animal into another animal of the same kind - have some kind of 'qi' attached to them. , able to record various acquired changes of this creature."

"It is this 'qi' that determines what kind of animal a wizard can transform into through the Animagus."
