"Originally, we just exercised. Elise taught me how to cast the magic in the textbook, and Luna urged me to memorize the basics of potions."
After Xifa finished speaking, he paused and did not tell anything about the secret awakening medicine.
"Now, I should learn the Patronus Charm and Occlumency first."
Huh? Xifa's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Professor, can we quickly master Occlumency with the help of external forces?"
"External force?" Dumbledore was surprised.
"For example, taking truth serum. I write down a number, and then others ask me to train my will to resist."
When he first heard Xifa's words, Dumbledore's heart skipped a beat.
After hearing this, the clouds in his heart disappeared, and he smiled bitterly secretly. Xifa was so out of touch with his actions that he sometimes couldn't react.
"Xifa, the use of Veritaserum is strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic, and even the raw materials are difficult to buy on the market. Has Horace been bribed by you?"
"No, no, no, professor, don't get excited," Xifa scratched her head in embarrassment, "We know how to make the truth serum ourselves, and we have our own way of making raw materials. Over the years, Luna has been selling the magic potion she made.
We have fed a group of people. We promise not to obtain it from other sources, nor to use it in other ways. In this way, the laws of the Ministry of Magic cannot control us, right?"
"If others find out, you will face big problems in your life, and you may even be forced to drop out of school by the Ministry of Magic. I can't agree to it."
Seeing that Dumbledore was about to relent, Xifa said quickly.
"We want to brew it in a magical room on the eighth floor, not in my dormitory. If someone distributes the potion inside, I don't know who it is."
"Eighth floor?" Dumbledore said in surprise.
"Yes, go back and forth three times to the tapestry where the troll beat Barnabas silly. Think about what kind of room you want, and it will appear on the opposite side of the tapestry. We usually practice magic in it. We call it
It’s the Room of Requirement. That’s a little secret between the three of us.”
Xifa’s expression was full of resentment.
If he still disagrees, Xifa, who is eager to practice, secretly teases Lou Zi, and he will not be able to hold it back.
Helpless, Dumbledore nodded. At least, he knew where the three of them were causing trouble, right.
"If I have time, I will go there and experience it."
"It's best to do it later in the night, Professor. We might be inside during the day, and the tapestry won't respond to people with different requests at that time."
Xifa said with a smile.
Dumbledore glanced at the clock on the wall.
"It's getting late, Xifa, you should go have a meal. I also have to visit an old friend. If I eat with him, I won't be with you."
Seeing Xifa and the other three people packing up, they walked to the door.
Dumbledore stopped Xifer.
"Xifa, a genius always feels lonely. But he also needs to make more friends. Bring your friends to have more contact with other people of the same age, maybe you can become a patron saint faster."
After saying that, Dumbledore said he could leave if he had nothing to do.
And Xifa is also thoughtful.
——————————
It's another new week. The three of them took a handful of single leaves of mandrake from the herbal medicine class and decided to put them in their mouths on the day of the full moon.
"1. For a full month (from full moon to full moon - Luna added in a low voice), a single mandrake leaf must be held continuously in the mouth. The leaf must not be swallowed or swallowed at any time.
Just take it out of your mouth. If the leaf leaves your mouth, the whole process must start over.
2. Take out the leaves during the full moon, fill a small crystal vial with saliva, and soak the leaves in it to allow it to receive the pure moonlight (if the clouds are overcast that night, you will have to find a new mandrake leaf,
Starting over, Luna added in a low voice again, and Elise's eyes gradually changed.) Add a piece of your hair and a silver teaspoon of dew to the crystal vial illuminated by the moonlight. The dew must be collected from the seven days without sunlight.
Or a place that has been touched by humans. Finally add a pupa of the Grimace Hawkmoth. Place this mixture in a quiet, dark place, and do not look at it or disturb it again until the next storm with thunder and lightning.
3. While waiting for the storm to come, you should perform the following actions at sunrise and sunset: point the tip of the wand to your heart and recite the incantation: "Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagus."
”
4. The waiting time for the storm to come may last for weeks, months or even years. During this period, the crystal vial must remain completely undisturbed and not in contact with the sun. Sunlight pollution will cause the most serious consequences.
Mutation. If you continue to chant the spell repeatedly at sunrise and sunset, you will encounter a certain moment when the tip of the wand touches your chest, and you will feel a second heartbeat, sometimes stronger than the original heartbeat, sometimes more
Weak. Everything must remain unchanged. The incantation must be recited the correct number of times and no single spell can be missed.
5. The moment lightning breaks through the sky, immediately go to the place where you buried the crystal vial. If you complete all the above steps correctly, you will find a mouthful of blood-red potion inside.
6. You must immediately leave for a wide and safe place to ensure that the transformation process will not attract attention or put your body in danger. Point the tip of your wand to your heart and recite the incantation "Amado, Ani"
"Mo, Animado, Animagus" and then drank the potion.
7. If everything goes well, you will feel intense pain and two intense heartbeats. The creature you are about to transform into will appear in your mind. You must show no fear, because at this time, you have to escape the change you promised.
It's too late.
8. The first transformation is usually quite uncomfortable and frightening. Clothes and items such as glasses or jewelry will melt into the skin and turn into hair, scales or claws. Don't resist and don't panic, otherwise the animal's head may take over.
And tends to make you do stupid things, such as jumping out of a window or rushing into a wall.
9. After the transformation is completed, you should find that you have adapted to your new body. It is strongly recommended that you pick up the wand immediately and hide it in a safe place so that you can retrieve it when you return to your human form.
10. If you want to return to human form, you must imagine your human form as clearly as possible. Usually this is enough, but if the transformation does not happen immediately, don't panic. With practice, you will be able to imagine the creature's appearance just by imagining it.
Can switch between animal and human forms at will.
Advanced Animagus can transform without a wand."
"The above are all the steps for cultivating Animagus."
Luna finally stopped adding to the big problem that she had ignored, and Elise breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the Room of Requirement, and the two are telling Xifa the steps to practice Animagus.
"We learn Occlumency to maintain our sanity, and the Patronus Charm helps us understand the animals we may turn into in advance and prepare ourselves in advance for losing control."
Elise clapped her hands vigorously, with stars in her eyes. She seemed to see herself becoming an Animagus.
"Okay, stop thinking about it, let's complete the first stage successfully."
Today is the full moon.
Xifa put a leaf into his mouth.
The next month.
You have to be careful with this leaf.
It's like a heavy stone is weighing on my heart.
According to Murphy's law, as expected, Xifa chewed up the leaves midway.
While he was eating, he was very upset on the spot.
I can only wait for the next full moon, what a pity...
The two girls looked at themselves proudly, after all, they had not made the same mistake as themselves.
However, God seemed to have played a joke on the two of them.
The two girls, who had been waiting for a month, encountered dark clouds in the sky on the day of the full moon.
In order to comfort the crying two people, Xifa told short stories all night with a dry mouth.
Finally, the two of them calmed down.
However, looking at the two men occupying his bed and sleeping, Xifa couldn't laugh or cry.
Fortunately, transfiguration has made great progress.
Conjured up a single bed and made do for one night.
The three of them are back on the same starting line.
However, Xifa, who made an early mistake, gained more than the two.
Xifa doesn’t have to worry about strenuous exercise causing the leaves to be swallowed or spit out.
Learn all the magic in the textbook.
Talking about the magic in the textbook, since he bought a new wand, Xifa couldn't cast magic even if he chanted a spell and waved the wand to a standard enough level. It wasn't until Elise helped him analyze the magic spell and draw the most basic magic pattern of the spell that Xifa asked Xifa to start again.
With the ability to cast spells.
Everything is petrified, surrounded by obstacles, broken into pieces, protected by armor...
Fireball, freezing, gas cutting...
Xifa didn't even let go of the elves' magic and learned them all.
Xifa believes that the most practical magic of elves is their teleportation magic.
As long as you sense where you are, you can teleport even in Hogwarts.
I recall that I found Professor Dumbledore and asked him to deal with the split phenomenon caused by my teleportation failure.
However, in front of Professor Dumbledore, Xifa succeeded in his first attempt.
Dumbledore was caught off guard and pulled out a bunch of beard.
The days passed like this, and the children in the castle were well fed and clothed every day. The three people in Xifa also gradually became stronger in the fulfilling days, absorbing new knowledge, and honing their abilities with the help of veritaserum.
Will.
But outside Hogwarts, there is already an undercurrent surging.
In the blink of an eye, Halloween is here.
***The author has something to say***
The tradition of something happening around Halloween cannot be lost~
The guarantee is two thousand plus an introduction of Animagus of 800 words~
There are so many messages left, I don’t want to be alone.
