Animagus

It was like experiencing a dream.

When Harry came to his senses, he was already back in his familiar dormitory.

In front of their old dormitory, there is now a sign on the door that reads "Third Year".

However, once the door was opened, everything seemed unchanged.

The deep blue carpet embroidered with stars and moons, the tall, narrow windows with blue and bronze silk hanging above them, the familiar gilded lettering, the deep blue flannel curtains hanging from the four-poster bed, and Hedwig cooing and greeting him from her half-open cage.

Harry buried himself in the soft bed.

After a brief respite, he glanced at Ryan's bed in the corner to his left.

There was no one there.

To his right, Ron was already asleep. Neville had also curled up in bed.

Anthony, Michael, Terry all fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the bed.

Combined with what he saw—the same girl from Beauxbatons disappearing into the crowd and walking upstairs—he also saw another Ryan figure.

He understood; Ryan probably wouldn't be coming back to sleep tonight.

Harry was a little disappointed.

He was just about to ask about the resurrection ceremony.

He hadn't seen Ryan for several months.

The storm had stopped the next morning, but the ceiling of the Great Hall was still shrouded in gloom.

As Harry, Ginny, and Neville ate breakfast and studied their course schedules for the semester, large, thick, bluish-gray clouds rolled overhead.

As for Draco, he's Slytherin, and his schedule is different from theirs.

He was having breakfast at the Slytherin table with Pansy, Crabbe, and Goyle, and they were talking about something.

Ron, having taken some food, went to the Black Lake.

For Durmstrang Ship moored on the Black Lake.

At another table, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were discussing who would be the impartial referee and how to get him to endorse them as Champion.

"Today was pretty good... We only had one Transfiguration in the morning."

Next up is the Divination Class... Ron will be very disappointed. Like Transfiguration and Charms, our academy has separate classes for it.

"He won't be with the other houses; he won't see Lavender." Neville's finger traced the Monday section of the timetable as he said, "Charms Class this afternoon, I wonder what spells we'll learn... Care of Magical Creatures Class, Hagrid's class, not bad... It's outdoors, with Hufflepuff and the others, that way I..."

"The Gryffindor doing much better. I just looked at Seamus's schedule, and their first class is Divination Class." Harry sighed, head down.

Divination Class is his current favorite course.

However, before he could even grieve for the passing of time, a strange feeling of palpitation suddenly appeared.

He instinctively turned his head; it was Ryan!

The Beauxbatons girl was walking toward the dining table, arm in arm with Ryan.

Meanwhile, right in front of the dining table, another Ryan was looking at the timetable, just like Hermione.

However, the two Ryan and their female companions seemed to be invisible, and were not noticed by anyone except him.

Moreover, according to his observation, neither of Ryan's female companions could see the other or the other Ryan.

"If I could do that—"

"What? Harry?" Just as he couldn't help but exclaim, Ginny popped up.

"I just saw two Ryan."

I wish I could be in two places at once.

"I can read more books," Harry said, half-directly (not in the sense of wanting to read more books).

He could say that to Ginny and Neville, who knew of Ryan's existence.

Ginny looked at him tenderly and said, "If it were me, I would want to be able to keep one of us with Harry."

After all—I'm only in second grade, and the curriculum is completely different.

Neville, a single man, was very upset about this.

Dan was filled with motivation again at the thought of the afternoon's Care of Magical Creatures Class.

A familiar voice came from beside them.

"If it were me, I could leave myself by the Black Lake."

K-Ru-M!

"Ron, um... you didn't find Krum and clear up the misunderstanding with him?" Harry asked curiously, seeing Ron's dejected expression.

At the same time, he was also relieved that he felt his reasons had not convinced Ginny.

"No! He's a coward! I didn't see him leave the ship!" Ron frowned.

Next, Ron complains about the efforts he made to stake out Krum.

He kept complaining.

This added a touch of melancholy to Harry and his friends' faces.

Disturbed melancholy.

Fortunately, time flies, and today is not Saturday or Sunday.

Amidst the school bell ringing and Ron's complaints, they arrived at the long-awaited Transfiguration classroom.

Harry chose a seat in the back row.

Only then did he belatedly realize that he had not come to the classroom with the other students.

As per usual practice, in order to prevent Peeves's surprise attacks, he, as Peeves's jammer, always goes to and from class with the other students.

Today, only Ron and Neville are there.

"Please turn to page three of 'Intermediate Transfiguration'."

Today we're going to learn about Animagus.

Animagus cannot transform into any animal at will, and the animal they transform into is related to the wizard's personality and weight.

Generally, each person can only transform into one type of animal.

However, the Animagus at schools like the Uagadou School of Magic in Africa is different.

They can transform into elephants and cheetahs at will.

However, even they cannot break through the important limitation of this magic—its Transfiguration is usually limited to non- Magical Creatures.

The Transfiguration Magical Creatures (such as Phoenix, Hippogriff) will have unpredictable consequences.

Currently, authoritative magazines like "Transfiguration Today" and the mainstream view of the Animagus International Symposium both believe that this is because wizarding magic and Magical Creatures magic have fundamental differences in their operation.

You may have noticed.

The book does not provide detailed instructions on the steps for practicing Animagus.

Only a general introduction is provided.

To be precise, it is a kind of magical ritual.

It is extremely dangerous, and those who attempt it for the first time often find themselves caught in a struggle between bestiality and humanity.

You will hear another heartbeat.

Once out of control, it could very well descend into animalistic ways.

That is, to mistakenly believe for one's entire life that one is an animal, not a human being.

Even if they are lucky enough to be brought back to life, they will retain their animal habits and even some organs.

You can turn to page 5.

The Welsh Sheep-Man Willie is the most famous example of a failed wizard from the Animagus.

Aside from being able to walk upright and talk, he was practically a sheep.

To make matters worse, one time he was eating grass in the meadow and accidentally fell asleep.

He woke up to find a Muggle on top of him, his pants down. (A collective gasp filled the classroom.)

It is also because practicing it can easily lead to obsession and serious consequences.

Therefore, the Ministry of Magic maintains strict control over it, requiring all Animagus shapeshifters and their characteristics to be registered with the Ministry of Magic's Misuse of Magic Office.
