Harry raised his head, but Dumbledore's gaze made him sit on pins and needles. At the age of 12, he could read the emotions contained in his gaze.
Yes, just send an owl to deliver the letter. Why didn't I react at the time?
Harry was extremely annoyed, and Dumbledore sighed softly, which made Harry's face burn even more and he felt even more embarrassed.
Dumbledore didn't say anything more, he just ordered the kitchen elves to bring some sandwiches as dinner for the two of them, and then called Professor McGonagall to take them back to Gryffindor Tower.
"Two gentlemen," Professor McGonagall said angrily, "I implore you to use your brain more when you encounter trouble. Do you think your behavior is brave? In my opinion, it is extremely reckless. It cannot solve any problems, it will only
Make others laugh."
Harry and Ron lowered their heads and said nothing. One was thinking about how to explain to his parents, and the other was worried about Professor Dumbledore's attitude towards him.
Professor McGonagall took them back to the common room and turned around to leave. Hermione and the Weasley brothers were all restless in the room. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Harry and Ron and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Oh my god, what happened to you?" Hermione covered her mouth and looked at the blood stains on both Harry and Harry.
"Well..." Harry didn't know what to say.
"We met a big tiger in the Forbidden Forest," Ron explained. "It opened its mouth and was able to swallow Harry and me! The two of us struggled with it for a long time before we finally escaped."
Actually it is not possible,
"That's right, then we met Professor Dumbledore on the road." Harry was embarrassed to expose his brother's lie. In fact, he knew that the tiger must have had its stomach full and did not kill him at all.
"I still have some ointment in my dormitory. You can put it on and it will be fine tomorrow morning." George and Fred hurried to the dormitory area.
"I never imagined that you would steal daddy's car and fly here!" Ginny was very angry, "And you even hitched a ride with Harry!"
"What do you mean by hooking up with Harry!" Ron felt confused, "He particularly agrees with my plan!"
Harry suddenly regretted having lied to Ron before.
At dawn the next day, Joel climbed out of bed. He first ran to the balcony and pointed at his heart and recited the Animagus mantra. Then he went to the bathroom to clean up his appearance. Since he had a girlfriend, he bought a lot of skin care products.
Hair care products should at least not let down your face.
It was already a quarter past seven in the morning when everything was packed up. Joel put the Transfiguration textbook into his schoolbag and woke up his three roommates.
He and three sleepy friends came to the auditorium. Haylis had already sat down. She was sipping juice in her mouth while reading the book, seemingly non-stop.
"I said, there's really no need to be so nervous, right?" Joel took two pieces of toast from his plate and spread jam on them.
Hailis shook her head. Her eyes were filled with tiredness. She must have stayed up too late in the past two days.
"I have to finish reading these books without delaying my studies. Last year, I managed to surpass you and get the first place in grade. I don't want to lose this position," the girl muttered. "Besides... I still have to find time to talk to you."
My little boyfriend falls in love, otherwise he will be angry."
Joel: "..."
"How about we go on a date in the library in the future," he suggested as a compromise. "I also want to take advantage of these few years in school to learn more knowledge."
"We still have a long way to go, and there will be plenty of time for love in the future, right?" After saying that, Joel filled his mouth with a mouthful of toast and poured milk into his stomach.
Hailis's eyebrows were curved, and she smiled and said, "Okay, then it's settled."
"Hey..." Eddie, who was sitting next to him, was no longer sleepy. He rubbed the goose bumps on his forearms, "You two are really boring."
Joel glanced at Eddie, then at Qiu who was sitting next to Haylis and turned her head to chat with Cedric on the Hufflepuff table, and shook his head in disgust.
"You deserve to be single."
Haylis mentioned to him that Qiu was a little interested in Eddie at the end of the last semester. He talked about it in the dormitory every day and even gave him some candies and snacks when nothing happened. However, Eddie acted like a normal person and only accepted his feelings without responding. This made
Qiu was a little discouraged.
While everyone was having breakfast, Professor Flitwick walked past the long table and handed the elective course schedules to the students.
"It's best to choose three subjects," he said pleasantly, "I'm not pressed for time, and I have just enough time to practice. If you want to choose all of them, I don't have any objections, as long as you don't fail the exam."
Muggle Studies, Ancient Runes, and Arithmetic Divination, these three courses were discussed in advance by Joel and Haylis. After checking, the two checked the boxes on the course schedule, and then signed their names below.
After submitting his class schedule, Joel looked at the ceiling out of boredom, where there was a gray cloudy sky. He had been waiting for a thunderstorm all summer. Recently, when he cast a spell at sunrise and sunset, he could feel a thunderstorm appearing in his chest.
The second heartbeat is sometimes stronger than the original heartbeat, sometimes weaker. This is a key node in Animagus practice.
A flock of owls routinely flew into the auditorium at low altitude and dropped letters into the target's hands.
Joel took the newspaper from the owl's talon and put a copper nut into the cloth bag tied to the owl's talon.
As soon as he saw the headline on the front page, there were screams from the Gryffindor table behind him.
"What happened?" Haylis still didn't look up.
Joel glanced back and said, "The Weasley family sent Ron a roaring letter."
"Why?" Haylis certainly knew what the roaring letter was, and she was very curious about the reason for sending it.
"Well..." Joel expected that Haylis, who had been immersed in books, didn't know what happened yesterday, so he briefly introduced it.
Haylis looked back and saw that Ron's face was pale and trembling, and under the persuasion of the classmates around him - if the shouting letter was not opened in time, it would make a bigger noise.
He carefully opened the envelope, and the auditorium was filled with Mrs. Weasley's furious voice.
"...I actually stole your father's car, which is worth hundreds of galleons! I wouldn't be surprised if Hogwarts expelled you. I'll see how I deal with you when you come back for Christmas!"
"It was even in the newspapers...your father is already under investigation! If you bring Harry with you to act like a monster again at Hogwarts, I will take you home right away!"
Mrs. Weasley's breathy voice finally disappeared, and the roaring letter, which was as red as Ron's face, spun in the air, turned into ashes, and fell into his plate.
The four long tables returned to their previous bustle, and Malfoy laughed so hard on the Slytherin table that he almost fell under the table.
"What a tragedy," Haylis expressed her opinion. She picked up the cup and drank all the juice. "I'm going to the Transfiguration classroom first. You eat slowly."
She stuffed the thick book directly into her schoolbag, then picked up the bag and walked upstairs.
Entering the third grade, the Transfiguration course has also entered a new field, Animagus.
"I will not teach you how to practice this inscrutable transformation magic," Professor McGonagall stood on the stage, tapping the blackboard with her wand, and a panel of text appeared on it, "I will only teach you
The difference between Animagus and other transformation techniques, and how to identify an Animagus - gentlemen and ladies, these are the requirements for Animagus in the fifth and seventh grade wizard examinations."
"Very few people can successfully learn Animagus. There are seven Animagus recorded by the British Ministry of Magic this century - I am one of them," the students in the audience exclaimed in unison, McGonagall
The professor raised his eyebrows and said, "If you want to learn this excellent transfiguration skill one day in the future, please be sure to register with the Ministry of Magic in advance. This kind of transfiguration skill is very dangerous. If you are not careful, it may cause irreversible damage."
, the Ministry of Magic will inform you of certain precautions and protective measures, which can save you a lot of detours."
"At the same time, the Ministry of Magic classifies unregistered Animagus as illegal criminals. If they are found out, they will be fined heavily."
Professor McGonagall said.
Joel knew several illegal Animagus, James, Sirius, and Pettigrew. They were not registered with the Ministry of Magic and were afraid of exposing their identities. After all, practicing Animagus was to better hide themselves.
, wouldn’t registering with the Ministry of Magic expose your Animagus form to others?
"Professor, can you demonstrate it to us?" Qiu raised her hand. Ravenclaws are always curious about unknown knowledge.
The students in the audience started to boo, but Professor McGonagall was quite easy to talk to - as long as you don't violate school rules and regulations.
Professor McGonagall's tightly pursed lips relaxed a little, and then she huddled on the ground and transformed into a tabby cat, about forty centimeters long. The lines around the cat's eyes were very much like the square glasses she was wearing.
.
"Wow..." The students in the audience were very cooperative.
Many girls' eyes were filled with love when they saw this cute tabby cat, even Halys. One Hufflepuff girl almost started to masturbate her, but Professor McGonagall reacted quickly and immediately changed back to her human form.
"Miss Curtis, please watch your behavior." Professor McGonagall warned.
In the following course, Professor McGonagall elaborated on the difference between Animagus and animal transformation - both can transform into animal forms, but the former still retains magic power and can perform simple spellcasting, provided that you must learn Silence
Casting spells is something that animal transformation does not have. At the same time, Animagus transformation will retain human consciousness, while animal transformation is to truly imagine oneself as a beast.
But Animagus also has disadvantages. For a wizard, he can only have one Animagus form in his life, which is not conducive to secondary concealment after his true form is discovered.
Although Joel learned the advanced level of Animagus in the system panel, he still had some shortcomings. Professor McGonagall is an experienced Animagus user, and it is still necessary to ask her some questions.
of.
Hailes and Joel were walking on the long corridor to the library. Hailes was stepping on the pair of black mid-heeled leather shoes that Joel gave her. The sun shone on the ground through the thick dark clouds and passed through the windows.
The light shone on Hailis's gentle and jade-like side face.
"Bernie is going to try out for the Slytherin Quidditch team next weekend. I'm going to cheer him on. Do you want to come with me?"
"Of course," Joel agreed naturally, "I can just eavesdrop on some Slytherin information and hand it over to Roger."
"Fuck you." Haylis bumped Joel's shoulder, not with much force. In Joel's opinion, this was more like a way of expressing intimacy.
"Speaking of which, we can go to Hogsmeade starting this year," Joel held Hailes' hand to start the next topic, "Have your parents signed the permission letter for you?"
Haylis sneered, "How is that possible?"
"If I do well when I get home for Christmas, it might be possible to make up for the signing," Haylis shrugged, "but before that, the two of them have no intention of leaving me any breathing room."
"Wasn't Bernie also the heir last year?" Joel and Haylis arrived outside the library, "Why hasn't he been so busy?"
Haylis replied angrily: "He was only in the first grade last year. No matter how excessive his parents are, they can't make him stressed out in his first year at Hogwarts. What's more, Bernie is good at being lazy.
I basically passed the homework given by my parents."
Dark clouds once again blocked the sun, and there was a faint flash of thunder in the sky.
Joel turned his head and looked at the sky, looking expectant.
"Is it going to rain?" Haylis held onto the railing of the corridor.
"Yeah." Joel answered her in a breathy voice.
The light rain fell on Hogwarts Castle at noon. Joel rushed back from the auditorium after lunch and sat at the desk in the dormitory staring out the window.
The rain is still too light.
There are many days of continuous rain in the UK throughout the year. The light rain can not stop for half a day, and then stop for a while and continue to spit on the ground.
The room was a little stuffy, so Joel simply opened the window and let the light rain outside hit the desk through the window.
In one afternoon, he finished writing the paper assigned by Professor McGonagall today, and also reviewed the history of magic.
Joel's performance in both tasks was not very good. He knew that there was a problem with one of the arguments in the Transfiguration paper, but he did not intend to revise it now because he felt a little impetuous.
The cool raindrops fell on his palms, driving away all the dryness in his heart.
Maybe, this will be another disappointing afternoon.
Joel had experienced it three or four times during this summer vacation, so he was not surprised. According to the Animagus knowledge in his mind, many people spent years waiting for a decent thunderstorm - just to have a good thunderstorm.
Gain greater strength when transforming.
"Joel, what are you doing?" Eddie, who had gone to discuss Quidditch tactics on the first day of school, rushed back from the common room and saw his roommate stretching out a hand to catch the raindrops falling from the window, "
Close the window, the rain outside is a bit noisy."
"Is it noisy?" Joel seemed unaware.
However, the number of raindrops falling on the palm of my hand increased sharply, and several lightning bolts flashed past in the dark clouds, with a crackling sound like thunder on the earth.
