Well-connected Person

"Real."

Albert didn't lie to Shanna; both the Transfiguration Club and the Charms Club were somewhat similar in nature to Advanced Class for sixth graders.

It's just that the selection process for students is more stringent.

Joining the Transfiguration Club requires not only talent and hard work, but also a passion for and dedication to Transfiguration. Otherwise, younger students simply cannot understand what Professor McGonagall talks about in the club.

Albert told Shanna about what had happened at the Transfiguration Club, but Shanna suddenly shook her head and said, "Let's not."

"Forget it?" Albert was taken aback, not expecting such a response.

"I was able to master the Transfiguration that Professor McGonagall taught in class before others, which was achieved through my own hard work and practice. If I were to learn more complex knowledge, I don't know how much more time and effort it would take." Shanna was very self-aware and knew exactly what her magical talent was like, let alone being able to write a paper that could be published in a magazine like Albert.

That's probably more than the OWL level.

Could she really keep up with the others and make further progress in Transfiguration? Shanna eventually gave up; it was just too exhausting. It's better not to live a life that's too stressful.

Albert didn't know what to say. He hadn't had any special abilities in his past life, but he could understand why Shanna would refuse.

The two silently walked up the Moving Staircase.

"See you later." Albert turned to Shanna and said, "Oh, and one more thing, don't lend all your homework to others. Be careful the professor finds out, or you'll be in trouble too."

"If Fred, George, and Lee Jordan knew, they'd probably want to beat you up," Shanna said with a laugh.

"Why don't you just not tell them?"

Shortly after, Albert knocked on the wooden door of Professor McGonagall's office.

"Mr. Anderson, please have a seat. I have something to attend to, but I'll be done soon." Professor McGonagall was revising the manuscript for "Transfiguration Today."

"Sorry to bother you."

Albert sat down in the armchair by the fireplace, sipping the milk tea that Professor McGonagall had conjured up out of thin air, flipping through the latest issue of "Transfiguration Today" on the table, waiting for Professor McGonagall to finish what she was doing.

After about fifteen minutes, Professor McGonagall finished revising the manuscript and sat down in the armchair opposite Albert.

"The Animagus problem?" Professor McGonagall had already guessed Albert's purpose; she hadn't forgotten the letter Albert had written to her during the Christmas Holiday.

"Yes." Albert closed the "Transfiguration Today" magazine and nodded to Professor McGonagall. "I don't know much about the Animagus magic."

"May I see your Patronus?" Professor McGonagall looked at Albert and said softly. She knew Albert's concerns; no Transfiguration Master would give up on challenging the Animagus, and a genius like Albert was no exception.

"Of course." Albert raised his wand and began to recall happy memories, successfully using the Patronus Charm to summon his Patronus.

A pale, Griffin gracefully swept across the office and quickly disappeared from view.

"A very good Patronus." Professor McGonagall gave Albert a relieved smile. "Your concerns are not unfounded, but unfortunately I haven't found any useful information about the Animagus, so I can't give you an answer for now."

"That's a real shame." Albert wasn't surprised at all; he hadn't sought out Professor McGonagall because of the Animagus.

If becoming Animagus through a ritual is difficult, then Albert can only acquire this skill through panel quests.

However, to complete the task, one would need to obtain two more Hogwarts Special Contribution Award, which is no easy feat.

"You have plenty of time to solve the problem," Professor McGonagall comforted her. "I think you've read the ritual records in the book. The Animagus ritual involves a very complicated process. I suggest you try Animagus after you graduate from school."

"Alright!" Albert raised an eyebrow, not delving any further into the Animagus issue. He knew that Professor McGonagall probably couldn't offer him much help for the time being.

"Actually, there's one more thing."

"What's up?"

"Some time ago, I finally learned the Transformation Charm." Albert then threw out another piece of information that surprised Professor McGonagall. "I want to know about more advanced uses of the Transformation Charm. As far as I know, the Daily Prophet uses the Transformation Charm so that they can modify the contents of the newspaper when necessary."

"Transformation Charm?" Professor McGonagall looked at her student again, finding it hard to believe that Albert was Muggle-born wizard.

"You're right, the Daily Prophet did use Transformation Charm, but that wasn't a particularly advanced one. What level of Transformation Charm can you achieve now?"

"Make the same words appear on some pieces of paper." Albert took out two identical pieces of parchment, used a spell to modify the contents on them, changing the words on the parchment and recombining them into another piece of text.

"Your talent in Transfiguration far exceeds my expectations." Professor McGonagall seemed pleased and continued, "As long as you can use the Transfiguration Spell skillfully, you can change the content of a newspaper, but that's not considered an advanced application of the Transformation Charm."

"What about the Two-Way Mirror? As far as I know, the Two-Way Mirror uses an advanced Transformation Charm."

"Two-Way Mirror? I don't know much about it, but if you want to explore the advanced use of the Transformation Charm, I suggest you go to the Restricted Section and borrow two books to read yourself. One is ' Ultimate Transfiguration ' and the other is ' Extraordinary Transfiguration '." With that, Professor McGonagall Albert to borrow books from the Restricted Section.

This is the benefit of having a good relationship with professors; they are never stingy with their help in other areas, especially towards students they admire, they always give them the green light.

"Of course, if I find out you've caused any serious trouble because of this, I'll put you in solitary confinement, Mr. Anderson," Professor McGonagall warned before handing the note to Albert.

"If you encounter any problems, you can ask me again. Also, don't try the Transfiguration in the book randomly; it's often very dangerous."

"I will keep that in mind." Albert cheerfully took the note, bid farewell to Professor McGonagall, and turned to leave.

"By the way, Mr. Anderson, could you please inform your three roommates to come and put them in solitary confinement?" Professor McGonagall handed Albert another piece of parchment before he got up to leave. "Their Christmas Holiday homework is a complete mess."

"Oh, I see." Albert had originally planned to cause some trouble for the three of them, but before he could even make a move, the three of them were already in big trouble.

As soon as Albert left Professor McGonagall's office, he went straight to the library to tell Fred and the other two the "good news".

"Merlin's beard!" Fred couldn't help but scream.

The other people in the library all cast disapproving glances their way, and the next moment, Mrs. Pince used a feather duster to kick the three of them out of the library.

Albert watched the three flee in a disheveled state and shook his head repeatedly. He smiled and handed Professor McGonagall's note to the rather annoyed Mrs. Pince.
