Hogwarts Wizarding Journey

Bell looked at Hermione strangely, completely unable to understand why the little witch was so angry. What he does and when he completes the transformation should be his own business, right? Does it have anything to do with Hermione?

"Hermione, everyone has their own preferences. I don't like to attract attention. In contrast, I prefer to be able to read quietly by myself. That's why I didn't complete the transformation immediately." Bell

He explained calmly, "Honestly, I don't think there is anything wrong with my behavior, so why are you so angry?"

Hearing Bell's unexpected answer, Hermione was speechless.

Now that she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she didn't understand what she was thinking before.

'Why am I angry?'

The little witch who suffered temporary amnesia was very confused. Bell was free to do whatever he wanted, and it seemed that it really had nothing to do with him.

Ever since arriving at Hogwarts, Hermione has felt weird. Maybe it's because it's the first time she goes to school so far away from home? Maybe it's because it's the first time she feels like she's losing to others in studying?

Maybe it was her experience after returning to the dormitory last night that made her realize the huge gap between reality and imagination? In short, after getting up in the morning, Hermione didn't even recognize herself.

Hermione took a deep breath and apologized to Bell: "I'm sorry, Bell. I...I don't know what to say, I..."

"Okay, I get it, Hermione."

Seeing the little witch at a loss, Bell interrupted Hermione.

"I don't mean to blame you."

"It's normal to feel a little confused when you suddenly leave home and come to such a far away place."

Bell, in turn, comforted Hermione. He could very well understand how the little witch was feeling now (he thought he was).

"Actually, don't look at me like this. In fact, my current mood is much more chaotic than yours."

"Thank you, Bell."

Hermione gave Bell a complicated look.

"You're welcome." Bell waved his hand and said, "Do you have any plans for the future? Do you want to go to the auditorium to have lunch together? Although we won't eat at the same dining table."

Hermione, who had originally planned to go to dinner, nodded and agreed, and walked towards the auditorium with Bell.

On the way to the auditorium, Hermione asked about the doubts she had in the Transfiguration class.

"Bell, do you know what magic Professor McGonagall used before class? The one that turned herself into a cat."

"That's an Animagus."

"Animagus?"

Hermione recalled the books she had read and confirmed that she had never seen this word before.

"Yes, Animagus is a relatively difficult transformation magic. It can transform oneself into an animal. However, it can only transform into a fixed animal form. After the first transformation, it can be transformed again.

It will be the same as the first time. This can be regarded as the shortcoming of the Animagus. Of course, it also has its own advantages. The Animagus can maintain its transformation for a long time, and there is no trace of spell casting at all, so it is difficult to detect.

"

"Well, Bell, can you also transform into animagus?"

"No, I won't, and I don't plan to learn this kind of magic, at least not for the time being."

"Why?"

Hermione looked curious.

"First of all, the role of Animagus is limited. In most cases, if we need to transform into an animal to do something, we just need to use human transformation. Although human transformation is expensive, and the traces of spell casting are obvious

and other shortcomings, but it can transform into different animals according to needs. Generally speaking, it is not worse than Animagus. Another reason is that to complete the transformation of Animagus, you need to drink a unique magic potion, so

Planting magic potions is really disgusting!" Bell said with a disgusted look on his face.

He really couldn't understand how that magic potion was invented. Its inventor was really too powerful, in every sense of the word.

"What kind of potion is so disgusting? Aren't potions all disgusting?"

Hermione was puzzled.

"..."

Bell was speechless. Thinking carefully about the ingredients of those potions, most of them were indeed quite disgusting. No, I must eat more delicious food later to calm down the shock.

"First, you need to hold a mandrake leaf in your mouth. You must hold it in your mouth for a whole month, whether you are eating, sleeping, or doing anything else. Then, when the moon is full, put the leaf in your mouth.

Take it out, put it into a small bottle, and fill the bottle with your saliva. I won’t go into details about the next steps. In short, you need to ferment your own saliva for a few weeks or months before drinking it.

go back."

Bell felt nauseous just thinking about it and rubbed the goosebumps on his arms.

"To be honest, I would rather drink the slime of the Flobber caterpillar than drink my own fermented saliva."

Hermione imagined it in her mind for a moment, and then immediately interrupted her thoughts. It was about to have lunch, and if she kept thinking about it, she might not even have to eat dinner.

"Of course, these are not the main reasons." Bell continued to explain, "The current magical community generally believes that Animagus can only transform into ordinary animals, but I don't think so. If you have read the relevant aspects

If you read the book, you will find that the description of the Animagus in the book is, 'If you want to transform into a magical animal, there will be unpredictable consequences.'"

"In other words, it's not that you will fail, but that you don't know what will happen. It could be that 'wizards can't transform into magical animals', or it could be that 'those wizards who tried failed to transform into magical animals.' After all, learning

There are too few people who practice this kind of magic, and even fewer people conduct in-depth research, so there is not enough information to make a judgment."

"Since there are two possibilities, why do you think it's 'those wizards failed' instead of 'cannot transform'?"

Hermione looked at Bell in confusion.

"Because of the Patronus Charm."

Looking at Hermione who looked puzzled, Bell continued: "You can ignore what the Patronus Charm is for now. You will know this later. All you need to know now is that wizards generally believe that the patronus summoned by the Patronus Charm is

Gods can only be ordinary animals. And because of the high difficulty and limited effects, very few wizards can master the Patronus Charm. How about it, does it sound almost exactly the same as the Animagus?"

"However, there is an exception among the patron saints. The greatest white wizard in the modern magical world, that is, our Professor Dumbledore, his patron saint is a phoenix, which is a magical animal and is currently the only known one.

A patron saint of magical animals.”

When he mentioned his magic research, Bell's whole spirit changed, and his eyes seemed to light up. This was the first time he talked about his research with someone other than Shanna.
