Hogwarts: From Squibs to Greatness

Chapter 93 Animagus

Shortly after helping Nick, the time came to October 1992, 10.

This day is Sunday, the sky is clear at night, and the bright full moon is like last month, shedding bright moonlight.

John walks among the trees of the Forbidden Forest in moonlight.

According to the plan, today he will complete the brand new Animagus ritual and obtain a new form.

All the way to the open space that was burned out by John Longyan before, because of the nutrients brought by the burning, in just one month, the place is already lush and green.

Find a stable place to place the video recorder, and John will take pictures of the process of the new Animagus ceremony.

At an appropriate time in the future, he will send this video and related papers to "Transfiguration Today" to announce the new Animagus ritual.

John took out the Raven Staff and injected magic power into it, just like he had previously carved a magic circle in Howl's world, and began to construct the magic circle needed for the ceremony on the ground.

Gradually with the passage of time, a complete circular magic circle slowly took shape, when the main body of the magic circle was completed.

The moonlight seemed to be attracted by the magic circle. The magic power from the full moon turned into a silvery white liquid and fell from the void, filling the gaps in the magic circle.

The shining silver light illuminated the area, and John stood in the center of the circle and began to embed runes into it.

Changes, new births, moon phases...the corresponding runes were filled into the magic circle.

Then John took out fresh mandrake leaves, pure dew, the wings of ghost moths, and most importantly, his own saliva, which was kept in the dark, and placed them in the corresponding positions of the magic circle in turn.

Taking out the wand, John stood in the center of the circle, pointed the wand at his heart, and began to chant the spell.

"Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagus."

With the sound of chanting, the magic power of the moon flowing in the staff under John's feet began to gradually infect the materials placed in the magic circle.

Those symbols engraved in the magic circle began to gradually light up golden light, because at this moment the magic power of the world poured into it from the earth.

The voice of John chanting the spell became louder and louder, and some kind of primitive wildness began to wake up in his body.

He could clearly feel that with the appearance of this wildness, the blood in his body boiled, and his physical fitness, which had stopped strengthening for a long time, also began to strengthen again.

John could feel a connection with something huge, a connection that couldn't have been stronger.

Under the effect of this strong connection, he seemed to begin to overlap with this huge creature.

The sound of John's chanting gradually became indistinct, and it sounded like some kind of strange roar.

Fine red scales began to appear on his body, gradually covering his whole body.

Sharp dragon horns grew from the forehead, and the body began to swell and become larger. Without casting spells, the dragon wings spread out from the spine.

With his eyes closed, John tried hard to maintain his sanity to prevent himself from being lost by the wild influence, while enduring the pain caused by the body change without any resistance to the body change.

Gradually, an image began to appear in John's mind, which was the red dragon he saw in his dream some time ago.

The scorching breath brought up a strong hot wind, the faint blue dragon pupils radiated magic power, the deep red scales were closely attached to the body, and the winding dragon horns pointed backwards towards the sky.

The huge crimson dragon wings covered the sky and the sun, and the brilliance of the stars shone blue on the wing membrane.

But maybe because his blood is a young dragon, the red dragon he sees now is not as big as in his dream, but it doesn't affect its ferocity at all.

Normally, animagus transformation is limited to non-magical creatures, and magical creature transformation has unpredictable consequences.

But the brand-new Animagus transformation ritual improved by John can draw out the strongest blood in the wizard's body, turning it into a corresponding magical creature.

The pain continued, and John could feel the changes in his body shape more and more, the clothes melted into the skin, and there was an extra tail behind him...

In the end, he couldn't help lying down, but when he opened his eyes, he found that the angle of view had become higher.

He succeeded, and now he became the red dragon in his mind, he succeeded in becoming an Animagus.

Asked Professor McGonagall before, knowing how it feels to be an animal is already amazing, not to mention that now John has become a dragon, a real magical creature.

John observed his new body curiously.

At this moment, he was lying on all fours on the ground, and the wings on his back seemed like extra arms, and there was no jerky feeling in driving it, as if he was born with wings.

Using the wall not far away as a reference, as a young dragon, his size is about 10 meters.

This size is actually about the same size as some adult dragons in the Harry Potter world, but he is indeed a baby dragon.

John could only sigh with emotion once again that the power of the gods in Hal's world could create such a powerful bloodline.

Combined with the size of the red dragon in the dream, John speculates that his bloodline has further grown to a mature age, and perhaps at that time his size will be the same as in the dream, reaching an astonishing 200 meters.

At that time, it was a veritable dragon.

John adapted to his new body again, and tested the fluency of his fighting. It seems that in this state, he fights more by instinct, whether it is biting or clawing, it is like a real animal. dragon.

After the novelty of becoming a dragon passed, John began to recall his original appearance in his mind as Professor McGonagall said.

As the viewing angle dropped rapidly, John returned to his human form.

A perfect Animagus transformation, a perfect new Animagus ritual!

John picked up the wand that fell to the ground because of the dragon change, and then recovered the video recorder that was placed not far away.

After destroying and destroying the traces on the ground with magic, John slowly walked towards the castle.

On the way, John carefully perceived the changes in his body in the human state.

Normally, the greatest role of animagus is to camouflage and hide.

Wizards in the state of Animagus are no different from ordinary animals in any perception, which is why Sirius Black was able to use Animagus to deceive dementors.

In battle, Professor McGonagall will also use the characteristics of cats to surpass the reaction power of ordinary people to avoid damage, and then rely on the powerful explosive power of cats to approach the enemy at close range and change back to human form to end the battle.

But John's Animagus form, just judging from the size, has eliminated the possibility of camouflage and lurking.

Especially his appearance, which is different from any dragon in the current wizarding world, is more conspicuous than himself.

But John didn't need to hide and lurk, he never thought about it.

In the days that followed, John would leave the castle at night from time to time, come to the open space of the Forbidden Forest to get used to his Animagus form, and kept practicing changing back and forth.

Try to be like Professor McGonagall, seamless deformation.

And after becoming a dragon, his blood talent seems to have been greatly enhanced, whether it is the power of dragon flames, or the skin's defense and magic resistance have all improved qualitatively.

Even if John was hit by the dispelling curse in the form of Animagus, the strong magic resistance of the skin would not make the curse take effect.

This means that in possible future battles, unless John himself removes the Animagus form, no one can force him to return to human form.

Time soon came to the eve of Halloween.

Like last year, the Great Hall had been decorated with live bats, and Hagrid's giant pumpkins had been carved into lanterns big enough for three people to sit in.

It was also rumored that Dumbledore had ordered a skeleton dance troupe to entertain everyone.

John is still very interested in the skeleton dance troupe, if those dancing skeletons are not moved by magic, but real skeleton creatures.

John is about to put the study of necromancy on the agenda.

But the most important thing right now is to attend Nick's death anniversary party.

John went straight through a doorway that led right into the crowded auditorium.

John passed through the auditorium with festooned lights, flickering candles, and golden plates on the table with a blank expression, and walked straight towards the underground classroom.

The passage leading to Nick's party was already lit with candles, but the effect was not at all pleasant.

They were all dark, thin little candles, and when they burned they looked eerie with blue light.

With every step the temperature in the air dropped, but such temperatures were no problem for John.

After completing the Animagus ritual, John's own heat resistance and cold resistance have also improved, and now even if the temperature drops to minus [-] degrees, John will not feel cold.

As he got closer to the Deathday party, John gradually heard the sound of a thousand fingernails scratching on a huge blackboard.

This contrasted sharply with the soft music in the auditorium before.

When John turned a corner, he saw Nick holding his head, standing in a doorway, covered with a black velvet curtain.

"Welcome, welcome! I couldn't be happier"

He took off his feathered hat with his free hand, and bowed to John with an excited smile.

At the moment, the underground classroom is filled with hundreds of milky white, translucent figures, most of them are wandering around the crowded dance hall, playing with thirty pieces of music.
The terrible trembling sound of the saw waltzed, and the band playing the saw sat on a stage covered with black cloth.

A thousand black candles were also lit in a chandelier overhead, casting a midnight blue light.

John looked around and saw a group of sullen nuns and a ragged man in chains.

Of course there was the fat monk, who was chatting with a knight with an arrow in his forehead at the moment.

However, John soon noticed Harry and the other three on the other side of the dance floor, who were rubbing their hands and moving their bodies as hard as possible, spewing out a cloud of mist from time to time, trying to keep warm.

From the looks of them, they seemed to want to leave the party.

The reason is also very simple. If the guests at the party are terrible and there is delicious food, then the mood will be a little better.

It's a pity that ghosts never eat differently from living people. John clearly saw a long table at the other end of the dungeon, which was also covered with black velvet.

Great hunks of rotting flesh on handsome silver platters, black, charred cakes on great trays;

There is also a large amount of maggot-infested haggis, a piece of cheese covered with green hair, and in the middle of the table, there is a huge gray cake in the shape of a tombstone, with tarred icing spelling out such words :

Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, died 1492 October 10

John could see that Harry and the others were trying hard not to spit it out.

But these have nothing to do with John, more experience may be good for Harry and the others.

At this moment, while listening to Nick's introduction, John quietly used alchemy instruments to collect data.
