The Bard at Hogwarts

Outside Hogwarts Castle.

Professor McGonagall stood by the Black Lake and said with relief:

"It went more smoothly than I thought, and it's a rare black swan. You can move now, Black Lake or the sky is up to you, I'll wait here for you to change back!"

Hearing this, Ino also tried to stand up. Although swans also walk on two legs, they always feel a little awkward after having a pair of wings.

But there is a saying that as long as you are beautiful, rudeness can be interpreted as straightforwardness.

The same is true for Ino. Although she walks crookedly, the elegant posture and innate noble temperament of the black swan make all these shortcomings become cute.

Professor McGonagall couldn't help but reach out and hold the beautiful swan in front of her who was stumbling.

But at the last moment, she still held back. After all, this is the first time Ino has adapted to the Animagus form, just like a child learning to walk, this step must be done by himself.

On the other side, after trying several times, Ino finally... "plop" fell into the Black Lake.

But it was different from what he imagined. After floundering for a while, he found that he would not sink, so he began to try to slide in the water by moving his feet.

Thanks to the physiological structure of the swan, whether it is feathers or feet, he can swim freely on the lake.

Playing in the water seems to be addictive. Ino had a lot of fun, but he forgot about Professor McGonagall.

About ten minutes passed.

Professor McGonagall finally couldn't help it and said loudly:

"The first transformation is to let you get familiar with your body. You are not a fish. How long do you want to play in the black lake? Swans have to fly!"

Hearing this, Ino hurriedly put away his playful heart, but he also found that in the Animagus state, it is easy to be affected by animal instincts.

It's like turning into a swan and liking water.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Professor McGonagall next to him, the tabby cat...

The elegant swan's neck swayed gently, and Ino also got rid of the rude guess in his mind.

Then he spread his wings and prepared to try to fly.

It was his first flight, and he was not sure about the steps of a swan taking off, but he knew a little about the widely circulated nine steps and eighteen beats.

This means that before taking off, a swan will first step on the water many times to adjust its body posture and accumulate strength, so as to flap its wings and fly high.

…

Under the cover of night, the Black Lake is like a deep mirror, lying quietly in the comfort of the moonlight.

A bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting a faint silver glow.

Suddenly, ripples appeared on the lake.

A beautiful black swan stretched its elegant neck, and then it flapped its wings vigorously, making a "pa pa" sound, breaking the tranquility of the lake.

As the wings flapped vigorously, the swan's body gradually began to rise lightly.

Like a black elf flying in the air, it drew beautiful arcs.

By the lake, Professor McGonagall nodded with satisfaction after seeing this scene.

In mid-air, the moment Ino took off, he instinctively learned to fly, just like he learned to swim when he fell into the water just now.

Flying and swimming are both innate abilities of swans, and they can be mastered proficiently after activation and short adaptation.

Enjoy freedom, unrestrained.

At this moment, he truly experienced the wind and the eagle.

Hogwarts Castle became smaller and smaller in his eyes, and the height of his flight was also getting higher and higher.

Stratosphere, or also called stratosphere.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, among the known birds, only swans can reach this flight altitude, even bar-headed geese can only fly to 9,000 meters.

After a brief excitement, Ino in the sky also began to think about his experience just now.

The first is the seriously underestimated match, the last relic left by old John's daughter in the ice and snow. This is not just a thought, it is more like a miracle.

"Maybe it is beyond magic..."

In the black swan state, Ino thought to himself in his heart.

Soon he rejected this absurd idea. How could a person who had not even entered the magic hall evaluate something beyond magic?

But no matter what, the matches given by Old John were the most powerful and mysterious items he had ever seen.

Even the divination dice given by Teacher Hans, although very practical, were still not as vast as the burning matches.

If you have to find a comparison, only Dumbledore has a similar similarity with the matches.

That is a pure love, great love without boundaries.

The difference is that Dumbledore is only one person's great love.

And the burning matches, that gentle, small flame, seemed to gather the love in countless fairy tales, countless folk customs, and countless stories for thousands of years.

Thinking of this, a figure gradually emerged in Ino's mind, the protagonist of the story of this world, Harry Potter.

The story that started with love ended in love.

Voldemort cleverly cracked Lily's protective magic, but he still lost to love after all.

Perhaps it was the effect of the felicity potion.

Ino felt that he had figured out a lot, as if he had uncovered a little bit of the magic world, but at the same time, he had more doubts.

Four colleges, four founders, shrewd, brave, wise, and loyal.

Teacher Hans's elimination of greed, Dumbledore's boundless love...

It seems that these legendary figures can always find their own way, or walk out of their own way.

…

"What about my quality..."

Ino couldn't help but lament that quality is not freedom. Although he longs for freedom, freedom is just an attitude and way of life.

But one thing is that he is probably sure that the qualities of others are definitely not suitable for him.

Because in thousands of years, there has never been a legendary wizard who inherited the qualities of the four founders.

The most vivid example is Dumbledore. After becoming a legendary wizard, he did not inherit the bravery of Gryffindor. In other words, after reaching the extreme on the road of bravery, he found the path that should belong to him. road.

Ino thought of the magical emotions mentioned by Professor Flitwick, and thought of Dumbledore's troubled life...

However, just when he wanted to think about more questions, the feeling of ease and happiness disappeared.

A sense of loss.

But after a short period of disappointment, he was more happy because he found the correct use of the Felixir.

This magical potion is not like in the original story. You can take a sip and play Quidditch or become a goalkeeper. It is not like taking a sip and imitating an Auror to solve cases and find clues.

That is simply a waste of resources.

The real purpose of the Felixir is perhaps to think and study.

Blessed is the soul, there seems to be guidance somewhere. Just like road signs at a crossroads, people can easily find the right route and reach their destination conveniently.

"My dear Professor Snape..."

At this moment, Ino thought of his own dean. Whether it was the powerful Divine Blade Wuying or the superb magic potion skills, they were both unparalleled.

If the Animagus's first transformation hadn't ended, he would have wanted to fly back to the castle to find Snape and learn how to make a Felixir.

In the past, he might not have enough denominations to brush his face, but now he really dares to give it a try.

After all, Draco used the upside-down golden clock to hang not only a person named Potter, but also Potter's followers.

The most important thing is that everything is done in an upright and upright manner.

There was no sneak attack, no taking advantage of others, all actions were done on the duel field in full view of the public.
