Witcher at Hogwarts

"What did you do to him? The poor boy's entire arm bone is gone, and now he has to grow it back." After Madam Pomfrey checked Harry's arm, she looked at Ethan who had sent Harry over. Ron and Hermione complained.

Ron and Hermione were all gathered around the bed looking at their friend distressedly. Although Gryffindor won the game, no one could be happy when they saw Harry's appearance.

"It's all Lockhart's fault. How did he become a professor?" Ron complained through gritted teeth, while Hermione kept nodding. Today's events also allowed Hermione to see Lockhart's true face.

"The hospital wing needs to be quiet, children." Madam Pomfrey took out a large white bottle with the label of Bone Creature on it, "You should let him have a good rest. This night must be very difficult. Long bones are A very uncomfortable thing.”

The Pomfrey man unscrewed the cap of the skull-shaped bottle of Bone Spirit, poured out a large steaming cup and handed it to Harry.

Harry swallowed the bone spirit with a pained look on his face, coughing repeatedly, spitting, and it burned all the way from his mouth. Growing bones was hard, and Harry felt a sharp pain in his arm, like a knife.

When Harry recovered, Madam Pomfrey asked everyone to leave the hospital wing in the name of Harry needing to rest. Ron and Hermione repeatedly asked to stay with Harry, but Madam Pomfrey refused. Ethan, Ron and Hermione had no choice but to exit the medical room as requested by Madam Pomfrey.

On the way back, both Ron and Hermione were dejected. Because of Harry's incident, the two young wizards were in no mood to talk. Ethan was also thinking about the centaur's invitation to him. The three of them were speechless all the way.

That night, Ethan sat in the office and studied the Animagus transformation technique with great interest. He decided to complete the Animagus transformation within this semester.

Animagus refers to a wizard or witch who can transform into an animal at will. When they transform into animal form, they still retain similar thinking abilities, self-identity, and memories as before the transformation (in human form).

Even if they live in animal form for a long time, they still have a normal human lifespan. But their feelings and emotions are simplified, replaced by a ferocious animal desire to eat whatever their animal form craves, rather than human food.

Becoming an Animagus is extremely difficult, the process is complex and time-consuming, and things can go horribly wrong. Therefore, it is believed that only one of more than a thousand wizards may become an Animagus.

Animagus have great potential advantages in espionage missions and crime. For this reason, the Ministry of Magic established the Animagus Registry and required all Animagus to register with detailed personal information and their precise appearance after transformation.

Often obvious markings or flaws on the human body are transferred to its animal form. Unregistered Animagus, if discovered, would most likely be sent to Azkaban Prison.

But Ethan alone knew of many unregistered and illegal Animagus, including Peter Pettigrew's rat, Sirius Black's black dog, and Rita Skeeter's beetle. Ethan also discovered the The Animagus creatures turned into by wizards are much stronger than ordinary creatures of the same kind. The black dog turned into by Sirius can fight back and forth with Lupine turned into a werewolf.

Animagus are also very dangerous.

If an Animagus makes a mistake during its transformation, the consequences can be dire. Losing patience with the long and complicated transformation process often leads to disastrous consequences, such as turning into a half-human, half-animal form.

There is no known antidote to this mistake, and wizards who suffer from it are forced to live out their lives in this miserable state of being neither human nor animal.

The Animagus transformation process is also very complicated, which requires holding a mandrake leaf in the mouth for a full month (from one full moon to the next).

Under no circumstances should the leaves be swallowed or spit out. As soon as the leaf leaves the mouth, the whole process starts over again.

On the second full moon, put the leaf soaked in your own saliva into a small transparent bottle and let it receive pure moonlight (if it happens to be cloudy that night, you must find another mandrake leaf and start over. Pass).

To the vial that is being exposed to moonlight, add a strand of your own hair, a silver teaspoon of dew (which must be collected from a place that has not been exposed to sunlight or human contact for seven full days), and the pupa of a Ghost-faced Hawkmoth. Let this mixture sit in a quiet, dark place, protected from prying eyes and disturbance, until the next storm.

While waiting for the storm to come, you should perform the following actions at sunrise and sunset: point the tip of the wand to your heart and recite the incantation: "Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagus."

The wait for a storm can last weeks, months or even years. During this time, the clear bottle must remain completely undisturbed and protected from sunlight. Sunlight pollution will cause the worst mutations.

Also, be sure to resist the temptation to look at the potion in the transparent bottle before the lightning that accompanies the storm appears. If you insist on chanting the mantra repeatedly at sunrise and sunset every day, you will feel another heartbeat at the moment when the tip of the wand touches your chest.

Sometimes this heartbeat is stronger than my own original heartbeat, and sometimes it is relatively weak. It doesn't matter either way. All steps must be done step by step without any changes: the right mantra must be spoken at the right time without any mistakes or missing a single step.

When lightning appears in the sky, immediately head to where the clear vial is hidden. If you complete all the above steps correctly, you will find that there is some blood-red potion in the bottle, which is about enough to drink in one gulp.

At this time, you must immediately leave for a spacious and safe place to ensure that the transformation process does not cause a disturbance or put yourself in danger. Point the tip of the wand to your heart, say the incantation "Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagus" and drink the potion.

If all goes well, you will feel a sharp pain and a strong double heartbeat. A mental image of the animal shape you will transform into will appear in your mind. There must be no fear now, before it is too late to change your focus and escape the promised transformation.

The first metamorphosis is often quite uncomfortable and frightening. Clothes and accessories such as glasses or jewelry will blend into the skin, turning into fur, scales, or claws and spikes. Don't resist or panic, otherwise you may be dominated by animal instincts and drive yourself to do stupid things, such as jumping out of the window or rushing into the wall.

When the transformation is complete, you should find that you have adapted to your new body. If you want to change back to human form, it is usually enough to imagine your human form in your mind as clearly as possible.

Don’t panic even if you don’t transform right away. After repeated practice, you can easily switch between animal form and human form according to your own wishes. Senior Animagus such as Professor McGonagall can transform without a wand.

Ethan developed a keen interest in Animagus transformation. In the book, Ethan noticed that the transformation of Animagus requires a lot of magic power to support.

This is also the reason why only adult wizards are allowed to use Animagus, and the transformation of Animagus must be supervised by an adult wizard. Ethan plans to find the experienced Professor McGonagall to help him complete the transformation. .
