Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 107: Animagus and the Fidelius Curse

After achieving his goal, Sainz relaxed a little in the last few days of Christmas.

Relax in the kitchen and discuss delicious food with the elves, and wrestle in the snow with Fluffy, the three-headed dog who has grown to the size of a yak.

After two days of hard play, I finally got my mind back on track.

He opened "Hogwarts: Grit, Tribulation and a Dangerous Addiction" and read in detail the discussion on Animagus transformation.

Similar to what many wizards know.

Animagus requires wizards to have a certain level of proficiency in both Transfiguration and Potions.

The general process is to hold a piece of mandrake in your mouth for a month, from one full moon to another, and you cannot spit it out even for a second.

Then you need to find a small crystal bottle, put the leaf filled with saliva in it, and then put a hair on it. You must use a crystal bottle because only it can receive the essence of moonlight.

Then add a teaspoon of dew into the crystal bottle, and the dew must not have seen the sun or other people's feet for seven days.

Then add a pupa of a Hawkmoth.

The next step is to place the crystal bottles filled with this mixture in a quiet, dark place.

Then wait for the lightning storm and don't check during it.

When the storm comes, point the tip of the wand at your heart, and recite the spell continuously at the turn of each morning and evening: Amato Animo Animagus.

That is to say, it needs to be done once in the morning and evening every day.

If you keep persisting in this way, one day, when the tip of the magic wand touches your chest, you will feel the second heartbeat.

Don't stop, continue to do this every day, waiting for the next storm.

When lightning appears again, find the crystal bottle you hid before. If every step before is correct, then there will be blood-red potion in the crystal bottle, only enough for one sip.

The next step is the transformation! You need to find a place without danger, point the wand at your chest and chant the spell while drinking the red potion in the crystal bottle.

Then, the shapeshifter will feel a burning pain and two strong heartbeats, provided he is lucky enough.

Then, the shape of the creature he wants to transform into will appear, and he must be fearless enough to neither escape nor resist the transformation.

If all steps go well, the shapeshifter will turn into an ordinary animal without magic powers.

After the transformation is over, when he wants to return to human form, he needs to imagine his human form as clearly as possible.

Being able to accurately return to human form is the last hurdle in transformation.

When a wizard successfully passes all these levels, congratulations to him/her, he/she officially becomes an Animagus!

Take a look!

The whole process is full of uncertainties!

Even if all the processes before the transformation are completed perfectly, if there is a mistake during the transformation, it is very likely that the person will become a half-human, half-beast ghost, and there is currently no treatment.

Another thing is that when you transform, your accessories, clothes, etc. will turn into fur, scales, or nails along with the person.

Of course, if a wizard doesn't mind appearing naked when he returns to human form, he can just transform himself and ignore everything else.

All in all, the first transformation was very scary and very uncomfortable.

Sainz once suspected that the appearance of werewolves was the result of wizards' failed attempt at Animagus transformation. After seeing the exact information, he felt that his previous speculation was very likely.

After reading the whole process, he felt that Potions Science accounted for an even larger proportion of it.

Compared to Transfiguration, the whole process is more like making a very time-consuming and ritualistic potion.

The key point is that after spending so much energy, all he turned into is just an ordinary animal. Sainz can't see the meaning of it at all.

Even if the transformed animal can make no wizard notice anything unusual, and even the Dementors cannot tell whether it is a human or a beast, but again, what is the point?

For example, Professor McGonagall performed the Animagus transformation in order to explore more in-depth Transfiguration techniques and to provide students with clearer information when teaching.

Harry's father and others performed the Animagus transformation in order to accompany their friends.

Sainz completely fails to see the point of his Animagus transformation.

Putting himself in danger many times just to obtain an ordinary animal form different from the human form is very unprofitable and completely meaningless for him!

If you want to experience animal form, you can temporarily transform yourself once you have mastered the art of human body transformation to a high level.

In that form, because the soul has not changed, only the form has been adjusted, the body is still the original body. It may be recognized by experienced wizards, but it cannot be hidden from the Dementors.

However, it is indeed possible to adjust the body to look like an animal!

The point is, does Sainz need to be afraid of being recognized now? Well... he is still a little concerned now, but he believes that he will not be afraid in the future!

Looking left and right, front and back, he still couldn't see any reason why he had to undergo the Animagus transformation.

Put it on hold!

This technology will be shelved indefinitely as a technology reserve!

As a pragmatist, Sainz will definitely not try to practice it in the short term. Maybe he will try to practice it many years later, but definitely not now.

After giving up a time-consuming task, the rest of the time was spent on overcoming the "Loyalty Curse".

The Fidelius Charm is indeed a very complex magic, and its function is to hide a secret in a person's soul.

This spell can completely hide a person or object so that no one can find it!

Unless the secret keeper is willing to reveal the secret, no one will know the secret at all. Even if the secret keeper is subjected to the Cruciatus Curse or the Imperius Curse, this situation cannot be changed.

This spell will be Sainz's next focus, and all other extracurricular activities must give way to it until he fully masters it.

Seeing this spell, he couldn't help but think of the famous betrayal in the original trajectory: Pettigrew betrayed the Potter family to Voldemort.

No matter how incredible it seems, no matter how puzzling it is to think about, Harry's father chose someone else instead of himself as the secret keeper of the house!

As a story, perhaps it is to make the plot more ups and downs and tense, but as a real world, Sainz can only think that James Potter is too emotional, just like Lupin commented on him, he trusts others too much.

I can’t figure it out! I can’t figure it out!

If it were Sai, he would never give up until he had put on several layers of nesting dolls!

Well, why think so much? The right thing to do is to do your own thing well.

Conte found that Mr. Autumn had returned to normal. Apart from the regular evasion training every day, he spent the rest of his time in the spell research room.

Oh, and occasionally take a tour of the botanical area.

Mr. Autumn never asked her to do anything crazy like drilling holes in her teeth with a hand drill again.

Congratulations, Mr. Autumn has recovered!
