First Human Transformation

After reciting the incantation to resist the Transformation, Xiwen's situation improved slightly, and the transformation of his body, except for his left arm, was suppressed.

"I didn't expect you to even know such a seemingly insignificant spell," Dumbledore said with surprise upon hearing the spell Xiwen recited. "However, its use here is quite ingenious; it's a very good application!"

While praising him verbally, Dumbledore's actions were anything but slow. He waved his hand again, followed by an even more powerful output of magic.

Under such an onslaught, Xiwen almost lost his balance, and his entire body even blurred for a moment.

'At this rate, I can't hold out for long!' Xiwen gritted his teeth, realizing that he couldn't rely solely on the clash of magic to resist Dumbledore's Transformation.

So, he forced himself to close his eyes, enduring the pressure of the magic, and tried to find that feeling of "transforming into all things." This was the essence of magic that Dumbledore explained to Xiwen after his first Transfiguration at Hogwarts.

Sitting on the sofa in the office, Dumbledore's magic washed over Xiwen like wave after wave of surging tides.

Amidst these turbulent waves, Xiwen gradually relaxed and ceased resisting. He gradually absorbed Dumbledore's vast magical power, allowing it to permeate his entire body.

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows in surprise at Xiwen's reaction.

He then increased his magical output again, completely transforming Xiwen's body into another form.

Xiwen's state at this moment was extremely peculiar; he seemed to have entered a strange third-person perspective.

From this perspective, he sees his current body like an observer.

Now, his body has Dumbledore into an adorable white swan—with white feathers, a light and graceful body, a long yellow beak, and a pair of crystal-clear round eyes.

"How are you feeling? Nothing's wrong, is it?" Dumbledore's voice came from a higher position ahead.

Xiwen shook his head subconsciously.

Then, from a third-person perspective, he saw the swan's head shake adorably.

At the same time, Xiwen can also vaguely see the world in front of him through the eyes of a swan.

The swan was significantly shorter than the Young Wizard Xiwen, and Dumbledore, standing behind the desk, could only barely see the part of its head and neck that wasn't obscured by the desk. Furthermore, the swan's eyesight was poor; it couldn't even clearly see the floor pattern right in front of it.

It's an extremely strange feeling, simultaneously experiencing both the swan's perspective and the third-person viewpoint. If you add the instantly perceived Ghost Xiwen, you could even say there are three different perspectives!

However, Xiwen did not feel confused at all under this perception. On the contrary, he felt an illusion of omnipotence from the third-person perspective.

This wasn't the first time he'd experienced this, and he already knew he should go along with the illusion to achieve what he wanted—to restore his body to its original state.

Xiwen mentally compared the swan's body to its original form and used magic to slowly knead and Transformation, gradually stretching and elongating it.

This shaping of the body became faster and faster, gradually forming a strong inertia that drove Xiwen's magic to operate and propelled the body's recovery.

A moment later, with a stumble, Xiwen's feet finally touched solid ground, and he tentatively stood up.

He has completely returned to his original appearance.

Brown hair, deep blue eyes, and a Slytherin school robe draped over his body—he looks exactly the same as before his Transformation!

Xiwen rubbed his eyes to adjust to his suddenly clear vision, then looked inquiringly at Dumbledore was still standing behind the desk.

"Congratulations on your first successful Human Transformation!" Dumbledore nodded to him, clapped lightly, and smiled. "Enjoy this feeling of becoming an animal; it will be very beneficial for your future Animagus Transformation."

"So, you agree to let me learn Animagus Transformation?" Xiwen asked, somewhat surprised.

"Although I'm reluctant to admit it, your Transformation have indeed reached the level required to learn Animagus." Dumbledore shrugged and winked at Xiwen.

Just as Xiwen breathed a sigh of relief, his expression turned serious.

"But!" Dumbledore cautioned. "Do not underestimate, abuse, or modify Animagus transformations during the learning process! Animagus transformations are never instantaneous; they are fraught with great danger. Countless talented wizards have encountered problems during Animagus Transformation."

"I taught a brilliant young Gryffindor wizard a few years ago named Serena Sweetine. Her talent in Transfiguration was in no way inferior to Minerva's."

"But she was too confident and too insatiable. After learning Animagus Transformation, she kept modifying it on her own until an accident finally occurred!"

"Serena's failed magical transformation caused her mind to become completely immersed in animalistic wildness, and she could no longer regain her human consciousness. And I have never seen her since," Dumbledore said wistfully. "I suppose she has completely assimilated into animal society."

"So, if Animagus is used improperly, it can also lead to the same consequences as Maledictus?" Xiwen asked, his expression equally grave.

"Yes, even more so," Dumbledore said solemnly. "So I must ask again, are you truly prepared to learn Animagus Transformation?"

Xiwen didn't hesitate much, and simply nodded firmly.

Having finally witnessed such a novel ability, if he were to choose not to learn it because of concerns about the dangers of magic, then he wouldn't be Xiwen.

Dumbledore nodded and handed Xiwen a stack of parchment, each sheet of which was densely covered with notes, Transformation points, and procedures for Animagus Transformation.

Just looking at this information made Xiwen's scalp tingle; he really didn't know how troublesome it would be to put into practice.

While carefully examining the parchment, Xiwen happened to see a note on it. "Animagus Transformation cannot transform into Fantastic Beasts."

Then a question suddenly occurred to him.

"Professor, can you Animagus Transformation?" Xiwen asked Dumbledore.

"Why did you suddenly think of asking that?" Dumbledore chuckled and asked in return.

"I remember last year when I went to intercept Professor Lore, you transformed into a large golden-red bird and came to save me." Xiwen hesitated for a moment, then said with a hint of doubt, "Now that I think about it, that large bird must have been a Phoenix."

"But Animagus Transformation can't transform into Fantastic Beasts, is that what you're trying to ask?" Dumbledore chuckled.

Xiwen nodded.

"It's just a shell," Dumbledore said with a smile, shaking Xiwen head. "You can think of it as me simply mimicking the form of my Patronus, Transformation into a large bird that resembles Phoenix."

"Besides, to be honest, I've never learned any Animagus Transformation!"
