Chapter 129 Getting Back on Track and Preparing for Transformation
The dementors entered the castle to search, the cold feeling was suffocating, and the little wizards slept restlessly.
At the end of the two hours, John's eyes, which had been closed, opened at the exact second.
"Tom doesn't seem to be back."
The first thing after waking up, John realized that his dog was not in the dormitory.
He glanced at the three little ones beside him calmly, they didn't seem to notice that John was awake.
Pressing his palms on the ground, John silently recited the Super Sensation Mantra.
A burst of invisible fluctuations centered on him spread out.
Today, he can already control the range of super sense spells over 300 meters.
"Are the dementors in?"
John muttered for a while, unexpectedly Dumbledore let the dementor in.
Animals are not harmed as long as they do not encounter the dementor head-on.
Tom shouldn't be that stupid.
John, who had had enough sleep, was full of energy. He usually started to conduct experiments at this time, and now he couldn't leave.
"Forget it, read the book."
Fortunately, John has the habit of carrying a small bag with him, and he took out a book about deformation from the small bag.
Anyway, he can see in the dark without turning on the lights.
The brainstorming of the three little ones was finally over, and Harry saw that John seemed to be flipping through something vaguely from the side of his head.
He wanted to see clearly, but unfortunately he didn't have John's night vision.
As the night passed, the dementors exited the castle.
They didn't find Sirius, and the little wizards exploded.
Their conversation centered on Sirius Black, how that villainous man got into the school.
Hannah Abbott told everyone that Sirius had turned into a flowering bush.
Gryffindor's portrait was temporarily replaced by Sir Cadogan, which made Gryffindor students suffer.
Because Sir Cadogan likes to change slogans into outlandish ones.
John came back from washing, and when he passed the girls' bathroom, he saw Peeves go to bully Myrtle.
Myrtle was crying, and Peeves was laughing.
With a look on his face, John called out to Peeves, "Peves, come here."
Peeves' smile faltered when he heard this, and he flew over reluctantly.
"My dear John Wick, what is your business?"
With an ugly smile, Peeves changed his usual appearance.
It's not Peeves' fault either. Myrtle once showed off her hairpin to the ghosts, but Peeves was not happy at that time, and wanted to get it when she found John.
As a result, John directly caught and locked him up to test the ghost spell.
This makes John the No. 1 person Peeves fears the most, and even the Bloody Barrow comes in second.
John didn't care how Peeves scolded him in his heart now, he pretended to be curious: "What do you know about the fat lady being attacked?"
Peeves was a restless guy. He bent down and poked his head out between his legs, and said with a playful smile: "Of course I know, his temper is really scary, that Sirius Black."
"What did you see him like?" John stared at Peeves.
After studying dementors for so long, John knew that dementors would only suck the souls of well-organized creatures.
Similar to animals, it cannot understand the emotions of animals and will not attack animals.
It made John think of something else, that in the wizarding world, there just happened to be a kind of person who could turn into an animal.
Animagus.
This is a profound transfiguration technique that can completely turn a person into an animal, combining the characteristics of an animal with the wisdom of a wizard.
Peeves said, "Black, you don't know how scary he is, just like a bear."
black?Like a bear?
John frowned, as if he had guessed right.
After waving his hand, when Peeves was about to leave as though he had been pardoned, John stopped him.
"Peves, what did you ask me to give you last time?"
Peeves was taken aback with a hippie smile, John shrugged and said, "You helped me, and I will help you."
"That's great, I'd love to call you sir if you'd give me some big shit."
"Okay." John agreed.
But at the same time, he also said: "Beforehand, you are not allowed to use it in class, and you can use it at other times."
Peeves let out a giggle and shuttled quickly, "Of course, Mr. John Wick."
Seeing him so happy, John shook his head, guessing that many people are going to be unlucky again.
Big shit, you can just ask the twins for this kind of thing.
The Weasley twins opened the owl mail in Hogwarts, using Hogwarts owls to deliver props to little wizards who placed orders.
John wrote a letter for Basil to send, and the goods should be received by the evening.
Today is Monday, another busy day.
In the afternoon, during the Conservation of Magical Creatures, John saw the Hippogriff again.
After asking, I found out that Hagrid's restless heart became restless again.
He felt that it was a pity that the other students hadn't even had to ride the hippogriff in the first class.
John helped his forehead helplessly, so he had no choice but to say, "Professor Hagrid, I have to ask for leave today, and I can't help you take care of the classroom."
Hagrid asked in surprise, "Are you going to ask for leave? Are you feeling unwell?"
"That's not true, it's just some private matters." John said, in fact, he wanted to transform.
Yes, shapeshifting.
Animagus.
Transfiguration is level 4, and John is ready for Animagus transformation.
This process takes a long time, from one full moon to another.
And during this period of time, John was unable to speak. He needed to keep the Mandrake leaves in his mouth, and he could not take the Mandrake out of his mouth at any time.
John needed to get the material ready, and he had a feeling he needed to start.
Naturally, Hagrid would not refuse John's request for leave.
And Hagrid is confident that even if John leaves, he can still control the situation well.
After two months of class, Hagrid also became more confident.
After greeting Hagrid, John left.
"John left?"
Harry noticed this scene, and Ron was surprised: "Could it be that the studies are too heavy and you don't plan to take this course?"
Hermione glared at him angrily, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, if you want to leave, you also leave the Divination class."
That being said, Hermione knew John was really tired during this time.
Unlike herself, Hermione has a time converter and can use other time to attend classes, while John really finished all the classes by himself.
Hermione had a strange feeling, and wondered why the school didn't give John a Time-Turner, or was there only one Time-Turner?
In a bad mood, Hermione felt as if she had snatched something from John.
In her opinion, John was obviously better, but he didn't get any help.
Hagrid led the hippogriff out again, and Harry saw Buckbeak, the one he had ridden last time.
At this moment, a little wizard who was overly curious approached Buckbeak.
Buckbeak knocked the blind little wizard to the ground with one paw.
Bow to Lao Tzu.
There was a scream, and Hagrid's mind was buzzing, not expecting something to happen.
Picking up the unlucky little wizard, he hurriedly ended the class and headed to the school hospital.
Everything is back on track.
...
John asked Professor Sprout to get the mandrake leaves. He observed the weather and felt that the full moon would be almost a week away, and he needed to start at that time.
And that's not all the Animagus stuff, John needs a chrysalis of a grimacing hawkmoth on the second full moon.
After everything is ready, it is time to wait, waiting for a storm to come.
When the storm and lightning pierced the sky, he really began to transform.
"It's really troublesome. It's just that there are few capable people for a reason."
For these deformation steps, John finds it troublesome.
In order to transform successfully, in addition to one's own perseverance and talent, luck is also needed.
Various factors, any wrong step will make all the previous achievements fall short.
In fact, it would be even better if there is a senior Animagus to help. Professor McGonagall is a good choice.
Even if he is not a student of this academy, Professor McGonagall should not refuse his request.
But John didn't want to ask Professor McGonagall for help, he knew that his transformation would be very special.
If he turned into a dragon in front of Professor McGonagall, Professor McGonagall would be scared to death.
It's a well-known fact that Animagus can't turn into magical creatures.
John has such a special form because he drank the blood of magic power. Naturally, the less people know about it, the better.
