From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"What are you going to do in such a hurry, Professor?"

"Yes, he has never been interrupted suddenly in the middle of class..."

The three students who had been kicked out gathered together, and their curiosity suddenly swelled.

It was a rare time for everyone in the fifth grade to have free time, so if they just went back like this - Harry became interested, and then immediately gave up the idea of ​​following him that suddenly came up.

Are you kidding? His tracking skills are fine for other wizards, but wouldn't it be uncomfortable to follow Professor William?

So, he suppressed the stupid words that he almost blurted out, like "Follow me and have a look."

"Then what's next?"

Harry changed his words, causing his two companions to look at him suspiciously - this was not like the Harry they knew.

"Hmm... How about continuing to study voodoo dolls?"

Ron hesitated for a moment, "I always find it a bit strange to say that novices have a low success rate - it shouldn't be like this, magic has its own reasons..."

His voice was lowered, "I always feel that Professor William is not that skilled in this, it seems... is..."

Ron struggled for a long time before he found an adjective that he felt was somewhat appropriate, "Just like Hermione."

"Like Hermione?"

"Yes, like Hermione. Although Hermione seemed to have completed the professor's requirements perfectly after a class, she still didn't look like a professor..."

Harry probably understood what Ron meant, he felt this way occasionally.

Hermione was the well-deserved number one in various courses, but he just felt that Hermione couldn't compare with the professor - although he couldn't say where the difference was, it just felt different.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to understand something, Hermione became a little angry - what does it mean to be the same as her?

She was already confused enough. In the professor's office just now, for the first time, she didn't hear the professor praising her knowledge, but instead persuading her to read more textbooks from grades one to five?

This was simply an embarrassing scene that she had never encountered since she entered Hogwarts - since her first grade, she had received all kinds of extra points from professors, but here, she got all kinds of extra points for dabbling in Are you persuaded by too much content?

"It's just, it's different..."

Harry noticed in time that Hermione's mood was a little unstable, "How should I put it, it's like a Transfiguration course. Although Professor McGonagall taught it very clearly and understandably, even after learning it, I still feel that I am not here. There is something about the spell that is beyond the professor’s understanding, and it can even be said that it is never far behind.”

…

This kind of persuasion confused Ron on the side - what does it mean to be clear and easy to understand?

"Is that so? Is it so different?" Hermione reluctantly tried to persuade herself not to be angry, and thought about what Harry said, "What do you mean - Professor, he just learned it and didn't fully master it?"

“It’s not like I haven’t completely mastered it yet—it just feels like I’m a little behind.”

Harry said hesitantly.

"So me too?"

Hermione looked at her two companions, stunned on the spot.

——

"call…"

William took a deep breath and completely forgot about what he had just taught - all his energy during this period was focused on the Animagus, and the spells used to save his life were always ranked quite high on his side. .

According to the agreed upon plan, when the moon is full tonight, he will take out the mandrake leaves from his mouth, make them into potions and bury them.

After confirming that the potion is complete, Hagrid will communicate with Thunderbird and set off a thunderstorm covering the area where Hogwarts is located so that he can transform into an Animagus.

And Dumbledore will temporarily give up tonight's sleep to help him complete this Animagus transformation as previously agreed.

'Relax, relax, William. ’

He persuaded himself - this was the most dangerous magic he used after the so-called Horcrux disguised system disappeared.

Different from the human body transformation technique that a few outstanding graduates can master, Animagus is the most dangerous and rare transformation technique. It is the most special existence - it is a transformation that directly refers to the wizard's own magic power, and it is naturally powerful. the power of.

Werewolves can even give Aurors headaches, but three students at school can resist the werewolves and even control them by relying on their Animagus transformation!

'Be careful, be careful, William. ’

At this moment, he even regretted not asking anything from Sirius, but he soon put such thoughts behind him.

If the help of Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall is not enough, he can also learn Animagus and just use human transformation - it is just less powerful and the risk of every spell cast is very high. , and it’s not much use after transformation, it’s no big deal...

Thinking of this, he smiled and walked quickly towards Hagrid's hut.

Next, he had an afternoon to prepare and adjust his condition until the full moon began to make potions.

——

"Today is a full moon day again."

"Yes, didn't you see that Snape sent a potion to Professor Lupin again?"

In the Room of Requirement, the twins were making fireworks and chatting.

They had made these fireworks for Dumbledore - to be set off during the Headmaster's retirement ceremony.

This cost them a lot of thought, and even delayed the development of quick-acting skip-school candy.

"It feels weird today - I feel like we missed something."

Fred stopped the experiment in his hands and looked at the materials in a daze, "It seems that there is something that we have overlooked."

"What else can there be - there are only a few subjects left in the curriculum, it can't be an exam, right? Our exams are still early. Besides, didn't we agree to open a store after graduation?"

George stopped what he was doing, a little puzzled.

"Exam! By the way, it's an exam. It seems there is no monthly exam today. For the lower grades, there is no exam!"

"Yes, there is no monthly exam today!"

Although many people think that the monthly exam is a lie, the twins know it very well. When the full moon comes, Professor Lupine will ask for leave, and the monthly exam will come at that time.

"Professor William's side...is it really dealing with the content related to transfiguration?"

At present, there is only this explanation - Dumbledore will not take classes after becoming the principal, and Professor McGonagall will soon not take classes after becoming the principal. Then, Professor William becomes the transfiguration professor, takes over as the dean, and then to celebrate Students will be assigned a large number of papers soon...

"Hiss...that's really..."

The two looked at each other, their faces full of joy - they could add extra classes as they pleased, and they graduated!

"Looks like we won't be able to graduate before Dumbledore retires."

"That's really a pity!"

The two of them talked happily about happy things.

——

"how do you feel?"

"feel good."

William was sitting in Hagrid's hut, playing with a fluffy velvet in his hand.

"Will it eat?"

After getting William's response, Hagrid didn't know what to say for a moment, so he changed the topic to the velvet in William's hand.

"It should be fine - but it's better not to try."

William put the little guy down, struggled for a while, and finally turned it back into a teacup.

Ordinary transfiguration spells can make creatures transformed from non-living things active for a longer period of time, and can even imitate eating, but transforming a teacup into a magical creature like a velvet is another concept.

No matter how weak it is, it is still a magical creature - this is one of the latest and most advanced research areas of transfiguration, and there are still many taboos that have not yet been tested.

In fact, such research is like research on hybrid magical creatures like Blast-Ended Skrewts, which can only be carried out by people who require special approval - but by chance, Professor McGonagall has this qualification.

Transfiguration sounds simple, but when you study a new field, it is not much safer than black magic - the famous xxxxx level magical creatures are said to be a group of wizards who are permanently imprisoned by human transfiguration.

If the person in front of William was not Hagrid, but a wizard with sufficient attainments in transfiguration, then he would definitely be panicked by William's just transfiguration - because it is not much easier than turning a wizard into a magical creature...

"What do you want for dinner?"

"No, I don't seem to have any intention to eat at the moment."

William smiled and shook his head, rejecting Hagrid's invitation.

He decided to keep his mouth clean for the rest of the time until the transfiguration was completed.

It's a little tough - especially since the summer nights come late.

At about six o'clock, Dumbledore visited Hagrid's hut, which made Hagrid, who could only eat alone, very happy.

Professor McGonagall also came over shortly after Dumbledore's visit, and Hagrid's hut suddenly became extremely lively.

"Dong dong dong!"

While some interesting events in the Forbidden Forest were being discussed in the house (quite a part of it was Hagrid's experience of catching the twins), the door of Hagrid's hut was knocked again.

"who?"

Everyone focused their attention on the door.

Hagrid himself looked surprised - he remembered that he had not heard any notice that others were coming.

But it doesn't matter who is standing at the door now. Even William doesn't habitually pull out his wand to prepare for protection - just kidding, even if Voldemort knocks on the door, tonight he can at most be regarded as an owl delivering a message... This is in Hogg Watts!

"Hagrid!"

Harry and Ron's heads came to mind, and their voices were quite excited.

Then, the two of them followed Hagrid's unobstructed line of sight and saw Professor William, Principal Dumbledore and the most terrifying Professor McGonagall sitting over there.

'Gudu...'

Harry and Ron looked at each other out of the corner of their eyes. They usually didn't have such a tacit understanding this time, and they could read each other's thoughts very clearly this time.

"Ruined…"

——

The reason why the two came to find Hagrid was so simple that even William wanted to laugh when he heard it.

After separating from Hermione, Ron and Harry returned to the dormitory and began to explore the matter of knitting voodoo dolls. However, after dozens of attempts, not only did they not make any progress, but the failure rate became higher and higher.

Even though he knew he could, Ron still lost his temper. In order to help him relax, and because he had time to avoid Animagus transformation, Harry just discussed with Ron and sneaked to the Forbidden Forest together. , and asked Hagrid to help him walk around without letting others find him.

This very strong reason even made Professor McGonagall almost forget to calculate how many points should be deducted from her own college...

'Actually, I still want to, like Sirius said, run wild in the open space of Hogwarts with my good friends after transforming..."

Harry lowered his head habitually and thought about being reprimanded, all these thoughts were in his mind.

But for this reason he still planned to hide it himself.

Fortunately, the one at the front is enough.

After paying a price of thirty points, the two Gryffindor students who came out to relax obediently slipped back into their dormitories - their only gain was that the professors and principals were all gathered in Hagrid's hut.

"Professor, what are they doing?"

The two unlucky guys even had their invisibility cloak temporarily detained by Dumbledore, and they could only mutter in low voices and walk towards the castle.

’ Maybe an Animagus? '

Harry, who had just undergone his own transformation, made a guess - because the hands were very similar and the date was correct.

But before he could think about it carefully.

"You two! I caught you, Gryffindor dunk-"

Filch suddenly appeared, smiling extremely happily.

"Sorry, Mr. Filch," Harry reacted and quickly moved his hand away from the wand, "We have been caught, and the college points have been deducted... by Professor McGonagall."

…

Filch stared at the two of them for a long time, his eyes becoming reluctant.

Just when he was about to say something.

"Click!!!"

Huge thunder interrupted their conversation, and except for Harry, the other two were stunned.

’ Indeed it is! ’

Harry became excited, 'Professor is going to perform animagus transformation! "

——

"last step…"

William strengthened his belief and pointed the wand at his heart.

"Amador, Animo, Animado, Animagus"

With the spell complete, he drank the potion in one gulp.

Just like what was described in several materials, intense pain and two intense heartbeats hit him at the same time, and a huge, lazy, yet extremely ferocious beast appeared in his mind.

"Bear?"

William was stunned for a moment - but Animagus couldn't change it.

His body began to swell and expand again, and his hands turned into broad and powerful bear paws. Light gray hair grew out. He looked at the bear paws that his hands had turned into with some discomfort, and he felt a little frustrated in his heart. .

"Before Dumbledore figures it out, or I figure it out myself, flying is out of the question... I thought it was a hummingbird..."

But I have to say, it was very strange, very strange. He took a few steps and then came to Hagrid. For the first time, he stretched out his hand towards Hagrid, and then patted Hagrid on the shoulder.

It felt good - it was the first time he'd managed to reach Hagrid's shoulder, albeit barely.

Letting go of Hagrid, he waved his hand - or forelimb, and slapped the big tree. It swayed with difficulty, then swayed again, and with William's third blow, it was lifted up by the roots.

William nodded and began to imagine what his human form would look like - it was not difficult, just a little time-consuming.

Three minutes later, as the last patch of hair disappeared, William returned to his previous appearance.
