Inscribing Magical Memories

Emerging from the Pensieve, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick blinked, looking at the real scene around them, yet feeling a sense of unreality, and couldn't help but exhale.

Animagus is an extremely rare form of magic due to its potential dangers and overly complex procedures.

This is why there are few wizards who study Animagus, and even in the Hogwarts Library, there are not many reference documents.

Yet, even under these circumstances, Wizet was able to deduce so many details from Animagus's first step, which speaks volumes about her talent.

Professor McGonagall asked, "Wizet, have you considered writing a paper?"

"Publish a paper?" Wizet was a little taken aback; he was still thinking about the Animagus.

"Yes! The kind published in 'Transfiguration Today'." Professor McGonagall spoke rather quickly. " 'Transfiguration Today' has a Most Promising Newcomer Award, and I think you have a chance..."

"That's not the right way to put it... You can't say there's a chance. You should say that as long as you publish a paper on Animagus, you're guaranteed to win the Most Promising Newcomer Award!"

Her tone revealed a hint of excitement, somewhat different from her usual serious demeanor.

It seemed that the fighting spirit belonging to Gryffindor was continuously erupting.

"Professor McGonagall, I think..." Wizet murmured, "We can wait until we've completed the Transfiguration of the Animagus before considering writing the thesis."

"Although I have explained the corresponding steps, it would be more convincing if I could complete the Animagus Transformation."

"Indeed!" Professor McGonagall nodded. "In addition, the format for publishing papers in Transfiguration Today is also very important, and you need to get used to that."

Wizet continued, "I have another idea regarding these steps with the Animagus..."

"Could it be like making magical artifacts, engraving ' Runes ' on this 'siphon'?"

"Inscribe Runes?" Dumbledore repeated. "You mean, enchant them, so that the final animal possesses some magical properties?"

Wizet nodded and said, "Yes, I think the process of creating Animagus is actually somewhat similar to the process of making magical items."

"Another point is that I have some understanding of Mental Magic, so the process of imbuing memories is at least controllable for me."

"So my idea is... could the memories injected into it, those pure memories about magic, be able to inscribe them on it?"

"I think it's feasible!" Dumbledore encouraged. "It's a process that's well worth trying."

Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick both said at the same time, "Could there be some dangers?"

"Wizet already understands the soul, that's the first safeguard," Dumbledore explained. "And he has mastered Mental Magic, that's the second safeguard."

"With these two safeguards, plus his unique experience and his sufficiently stable personality, I feel quite at ease. What do you think?"

The worry on Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall's faces had not completely dissipated.

Seeing Dumbledore added, "I will be there when he takes his final step to make sure nothing happens to him."

Wizet said somewhat embarrassedly, "Wouldn't this be too much trouble for you..."

Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick both said at the same time, "Of course not!"

"Hehe!" Dumbledore chuckled happily. "Any other questions?"

"Actually, I have another question," Wizet said. "I remember that Weather Charm can change the weather. Is it possible to control the formation of lightning through Weather Charm?"

"After all, Animagus needs to wait for the storm, and if the location is not chosen well, it may take a long time before a storm occurs."

"A storm attracted by Weather Charm cannot affect Animagus," Dumbledore said.

"At least... a storm cast with a regular Weather Charm cannot affect Animagus."

From these words and from Dumbledore's eyes, Wizet sensed a deeper meaning hidden within them.

If ordinary Weather Charm are ineffective, then Weather Charm cast using Ancient Magic Power should be able to work, right?

Moreover, he had an alternative plan—the extremely powerful Ancient Magic "Lightning".

"I still want to learn the Weather Charm. Learning another spell is always a good thing," Wizet said. "Excuse me... are there any reference books or materials I can use?"

Because of its location, it doesn't necessarily snow in the Ottery St Catchpole during the Christmas holidays.

However, they were very lucky last year; it snowed heavily the day before Christmas.

If you can master a powerful enough Weather Charm, you can create your own festive snow.

"The Weather Charm isn't too difficult," Professor Flitwick said. "It's a bit late today... not really the right time."

"If you're interested, you can come find me anytime, and I can teach you this magic."

Wizet nodded repeatedly, "Professor Flitwick, thank you so much!"

Every professor's time is precious, and how could he not be grateful that they were willing to take the time to teach him magic?

Dumbledore stretched merrily and called out to everyone, "It is indeed getting late, everyone should go back and rest!"

Wizet and the others left one after another, and the Headmaster's Office returned to silence.

Only the portraits hanging on the walls occasionally let out soft murmurs in their sleep.

Snape entered the Headmaster's Office. "Have they all gone back?"

"Yes," Dumbledore nodded with a smile. "I thought you were already resting."

Snape noticed the Pensieve that hadn't been put back in its place, his gaze fixed on Pensieve, his voice somewhat casual.

There were no sounds like cats and mice playing around; Hogwarts was very quiet tonight, as if someone had died.

"Wizet is safe," Dumbledore said. "What a wonderful evening! We witnessed the birth of a brilliant theory from the Pensieve!"

"Wizet told you?" Snape raised an eyebrow. "The memories you extracted for him?"

"Of course not." Dumbledore shook his head. "He has already mastered the essentials of Mental Magic and can use it skillfully."

"There's very little expression of personal will; it's a very comfortable Pensieve experience. Would you like to try it?"

"I'm not interested." Snape curled his lip and even took a step back, standing next to the Pensieve.

"Is that so?" Dumbledore, like an old fox, narrowed his eyes slightly. "Severus, would you like to borrow the Pensieve?"

Snape spat, "Tsk!"

Dumbledore leaned forward and asked leisurely, "He seems to have discovered some interesting properties in the young Mandrake leaves. Don't you want to know?"
