Hogwarts: From Luna's family to god

"It's really the levitation spell..." Babajide Akinbade exclaimed, subconsciously looking at Professor McGonagall, and found that Professor McGonagall was not so calm.

"Ms. McGonagall, I remember that you guided Vizzet to complete the Animagus, and he can cast spells in the Animagus state... Don't you know about this?"

"His Animagus practice process is very special... I know about the spellcasting..." Professor McGonagall adjusted her glasses, "But there is a difference between the two things..."

"Laying a solid foundation and then building a high-rise building is a different concept from building a building on a wooden house..." Akinbade thought, "Can I understand it this way?"

"Yes!" Professor McGonagall nodded, "Vizzet is a very talented child... His method is difficult to replicate..."

She recalled the ideas proposed by Vizzet at the time, and then described them simply through her own understanding.

The concepts involved are actually mentioned in the paper, but they are just explained to make it easier for readers to understand, without in-depth discussion.

The reason for doing so is very simple. It is difficult to implement. I am worried that some readers will forcefully try it, which may cause unnecessary accidents.

Vizet's method requires preliminary exploration of the soul and a certain understanding of spiritual magic when preparing for Animagus practice;

It even requires the ability to make magic props in order to combine the three elements and engrave the magic into the Animagus...

After listening to Professor McGonagall's description, Akinbad said in great agreement: "Ms. McGonagall, you are right. It requires knowledge of the soul. This is a difficult method to replicate!"

He suddenly realized something, "It means... that the ideas proposed by Vizet now are all... ideas that have only come up now?"

"They are all based on the views proposed by Lorenzo Flores... and they are all ideas that have been perfected? How long has it been?"

"This is not... a particularly rare thing." Professor McGonagall coughed lightly, thinking of the time when he taught Vizet Animagus.

At that time, Vizet did not spend too much time to sort out the entire Animagus process, and by the way, he used the knowledge he learned to infer the potion formula to help wizards explore the soul.

Through Professor McGonagall's emotional expression, Akinbad could probably guess how Vizet behaved when he was studying at Hogwarts.

...

"It will take some time." Vizet looked up at the sky, "Let me explain my understanding first... In my opinion, after mastering Animagus, it is like getting a piece of clothing."

"This is a piece of clothing prepared for the soul. When the soul puts on this piece of clothing, the soul affects the body... The body will follow the changes of the soul and then transform into the appearance of an animal."

"Very interesting description, very vivid..." After Vizet's voice fell, most wizards nodded, indicating their agreement with this view.

Vizet continued, "I'm sure you all remember the training process for Animagus, so I won't go into details."

"My training method is very special. I've added a lot of changes that are only suitable for me... allowing me to cast spells in the Animagus state."

He patted his pocket and said, "If I have to describe it, being able to cast spells in the Animagus state is equivalent to adding a pocket to your pants, which is equivalent to adding the function of 'carrying things'."

"My current situation is that after I got the 'clothes', I already have a 'pocket' and the function of 'carrying things'..."

"Now my idea is... based on the inspiration given to me by Mr. Lorenzo Flores, I will sew such a pocket for all the Animagus."

After hearing Vizet's analogy, Magnus Gustafson and his group looked at each other, "It sounds simple... it seems to be just adding this function... but it feels very complicated..."

"Mr. Lovegood knows Animagus very well..." Lorenzo Flores sighed, "otherwise he wouldn't have thought of such a vivid metaphor."

"It feels simple because he simplifies the concept and makes it easy to understand... But if you think deeply, you will find it difficult."

"It's like you want to give a toad swan's wings, and you have to make it have the ability to fly continuously like a swan after the wings are added."

"In fact, when this idea came up, the problem had already appeared... How to get the 'wings'? You have to solve this problem before you can start to think about how to 'fly'."

"Let a toad... have the ability to fly?" Magnus Gustafsson stuttered, "Now that you put it that way, I seem to understand how difficult it is."

...

Weizet raised his hand, and the gravel and sand on the grass flew into the air. As he waved his wand lightly, the gravel and sand changed and turned into some materials.

Each of these transformed materials was as big as a football, enough for the people present to see clearly.

"The most critical material is the hawk moth pupa!" Vizette explained one by one, "Based on the 'inclusive' magic characteristics proposed by Mr. Lorenzo Flores, there is a similar record in a book."

"Catulus Spangle, who wrote "Defense and Deterrence Spells", mentioned an interesting point on page 131 of the book when discussing how to cast the Patronus Charm..."

[If you cannot cast the Patronus Charm, you can treat yourself as a moth chrysalis, transform and purify the unpleasant experiences, digest and tolerate these experiences, and turn them into a force to propel yourself. ]

[After we digest these unpleasant experiences, and then think back to the happy things, you will find that everything seems to become simple! You can wave the magic wand again and chant the Patronus Charm! 】

"Mr. Lovegood!" After listening to what Vizet said, Lorenzo Flores was the first to get excited, "Are you sure it's this book?"

"At the beginning, I just vaguely remember that I seemed to have read a book somewhere... There was a similar concept in it, so I started researching!"

"Of course I'm sure." Vizet nodded, "But the book "Defense and Deterrence Spells" I saw was the 1865 edition."

"Terrible memory!" The people present sighed subconsciously, "Being able to remember the specific page number, such a memory is simply unimaginable."

Akinbad tilted his head slightly, looked at Professor McGonagall who pursed his lips, and whispered: "Has his memory always been so good?"

"How should I say it? Vizet has always had a good memory..." Professor McGonagall coughed lightly, and a slight arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, "This is not...particularly rare."

Luna doesn't need to be so nervous, looking at Vizet who is calm in front of her, she smiled brightly...

Chapter 114 How to sew pockets for Animagus?

Vizet was getting into the groove. "Albertus Magnus has a book called "Ruins and Landscapes on Trees", which also contains many interesting stories about moth pupae."

"But the content is rather fragmentary, and is reflected in different pages of the book... For ease of understanding, I will integrate it and briefly describe it as the 'self-renewal' of moth pupae."

"It is similar to the magical property of 'rebirth' that we think of, but it is slightly different; 'self-renewal' requires 'inclusion', and needs to accept and integrate one's own power to achieve 'renewal'."

"Mr. Lovegood!" An elderly African wizard raised his hand, "Can I understand it this way?"

"You mentioned that the magical property of 'self-renewal' is the key to enabling Animagus to cast spells?"

Vizet also had an impression of this wizard, who shared the pronunciation skills of chanting the spell "Amado, Anim, Animado, Animagus".

"Mr. Njoroge, this feature is indeed crucial!" Vizette nodded and said, "Only after 'self-renewal' can the fixed Animagus achieve change."

After briefly answering this question, he quickly brought back the topic, "Thanks to Lorenzo Flores' reminder... I re-examined the Ghost Face Hawk Moth Pupa and made more discoveries!"

"Claudius Elianus, who wrote "Spiritual Journey: Exploring Potential from Change", also mentioned some views on moth pupae at the end of page 426 of the book."

[Some caterpillars have extraordinary abilities. Even if they are hurt by magic, they will choose to form pupae to explore their own potential and absorb magic. When they break out of the pupae, these magics have become their own power. 】

"Through the Ghost Face Hawk Moth Pupa, we can 'self-renew', absorb the magic we have obtained, and 'explore potential'..."

"Using these very interesting magical characteristics, we can also cast spells in the Animagus state!"

...

Wizards who can complete Animagus will not be bad in magic attainments.

Through Vizet's easy-to-understand explanation, they certainly understood the feasibility of it, which triggered their thinking and also extended more questions.

"Mr. Lovegood, what is the specific method?"

"Mr. Lovegood, if you say this is to mend the pocket, it shouldn't be just that simple, right?"

"Mr. Lovegood, we need to cast a spell on the ghost-faced hawk moth pupa and then swallow it into our stomach?"

...

"Tracing back to the source..." Patiently waiting for the people in front of him to express their questions, Vizet said slowly, "This is a sentence that Headmaster Dumbledore reminded me!"

"Let's return to the materials used by Animagus... Return to the formula that allows us to change..." He gently waved his wand and displayed the mandrake leaves.

"We need to make adjustments and use mature Mandrake leaves... Everyone should know that whether Mandrake is mature or not will affect the effect that the leaves can produce."

"When practicing Animagus, we use young Mandrake leaves, and use their 'absorption' magic properties to allow them to absorb their own memories to establish anchor points."

"Mature Mandrake leaves have strong hallucinogenic properties. Some wizards are intoxicated by this hallucination and think that after drinking leaf tea, they will become omnipotent."

"We need to discuss 'hallucinogenicity' separately. After drinking leaf tea, wizards will have the illusion that they are omnipotent. What does this mean?"

...

"What does it mean?"

The wizards present thought about it, but felt that they lacked some clues.

"Does it mean that they are deceiving themselves?" A North American wizard said half-jokingly, "Many No-Maj will do this."

"They are addicted to drugs, and after hallucinations, they will feel that they are omnipotent, and even dare to climb up a tall building and jump..."

The wizards around laughed, and so did Vizette.

"We have to deceive ourselves!" He said with a smile, "This is the function of mature mandrake blades!"

"We need to deceive the Animagus, this 'clothes', to make it feel omnipotent and to make it feel that it can cast spells!"

"Animagus can transform into an ordinary animal. Only by deceiving Animagus, letting it subvert itself, and deceiving itself, can it cast spells!"

Several wizards with long beards responded, "You mentioned in your paper that mandrake is an anchor point and a needle... Is this what you mean by 'mending pockets'?"

"That's right!" Wizette nodded, "Use deceiving Animagus as a 'needle', combined with the various magical properties of the ghost-faced hawk moth pupa, to 'mend' the spellcasting ability!"

Many wizards exclaimed: "It's just like the idea that comes from drinking mandrake blade tea!"

This is just their feeling, because this is a set of ideas that can work, a set of ideas that subvert their previous views.

...

A Greek wizard raised his hand and said, "Mr. Lovegood, if I'm not mistaken... you are going to make the Animagus potion again, right?"

Vizet nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Constantinidis."

Constantinidis continued, "Mr. Lovegood, I have actually conducted similar research on the second Animagus form before."

"Among them, I tried to go through the Animagus practice again to see if I could get the second form...but I failed!"
