Chapter 167: Reincarnation and Transfiguration

"Sean, where did you conjure so many books from..."

Luo Jie watched Sean come out of the changing room holding a pile of books, his hands faster than his thoughts, quickly helping to take away a few.

"Mm..."

Sean thought of the scene inside the changing room.

Fred took out "Easy Introduction to Ancient Runes" from the locker where clothes were stored, George pulled out "Rune Dictionary" from the place where brooms were stored, and even the corner was stuffed with a "Magic Phonetic Table"...

It was hard to imagine Madam Pince's mood when she saw these scenes...

"These are all introductory books on Ancient Runes—"

George shrugged.

"If you want to learn alchemy, you have to understand these first..."

Fred threw another "Collection of Magic Symbols" to Sean.

"But you have to remember to return them."

"There is a return time on the book."

"Write the name Fred."

"—Of course, also George!"

Outside the changing room, facing Luo Jie's curious inquiry, Sean, knowing it was hard for him to describe the chaotic scene at the time, summarized it in one sentence:

"They were given to me by the two seniors."

Luo Jie didn't pursue the matter either. He just curiously examined these books that looked very old, because even with the thoughtful care of the librarian Madam Pince, the pages had still yellowed, and some places had even become fragile.

Xiang Hemin took one from Luo Jie's hand, and the words "Easy Introduction to Ancient Runes" made her very interested.

Sean held the "Magic Phonetic Table" and walked towards the castle amidst the bursts of noise ringing out from the Quidditch pitch.

His guess was correct; alchemical creations seemed to always be accustomed to using Ancient Runes to engrave spell groups. This kind of ancient magic text seemed to naturally possess the ability to carry more magic.

If one wanted to comprehend the complex, precise, and profound craftsmanship within, the first priority was to learn Ancient Runes.

Students above the third year could take this course at Hogwarts, and it was taught by Professor Babuling. Xiang Hemin had taken this course in her third year and achieved good results.

In the gaps between learning spells and Transfiguration, reading these books might be a good choice.

Sean thought.

The weekend time passed quickly,

and Sean had also gotten used to flying all the way from outside the castle to the Ravenclaw Tower.

Michael was so tired on the endless stairs that he almost collapsed. When he was accustomed to looking for Sean's figure on the stairs,

a strong wind blew past, and then Michael saw Sean gracefully descend on the top of the Ravenclaw Tower.

His figure caused bursts of exclamations, especially when the Ravenclaws saw his young and handsome face.

"Is this... a first-year young wizard?"

"I only heard yesterday that a young wizard passed the flight test, could it be..."

"How could it be Sean? I must have seen it wrong, he even has difficulty climbing stairs..."

Michael was still self-hypnotizing, but when he saw the Nimbus 2000 stored in the dormitory, he had too much to say, and for a moment didn't know how to organize his language.

Finally, it only turned into:

"Teach me—Sean. Please, I really want to learn this."

Climbing stairs was no longer a problem for Sean. He put more time into Transfiguration, Spells, and Potions.

Inside the Transfiguration classroom.

"Today we are going to learn the transformation of self into 'living things'. Its difficulty is higher than simply making objects move, and the skills required are more stringent. If you make a mistake, any result is possible."

Professor Marcus Maige was rarely much stricter. She opened Sean's essay and nodded with slight satisfaction.

"Then you should know, the easiest self-transformation should be?"

"The animal corresponding to the reincarnation, Professor."

Sean answered.

He had already written this in his essay:

【In many legends of Celtic, Scandinavian, and Germanic origins, there is a direct connection between humans and certain animals.

These otherworldly lives usually 'choose to become a guardian avatar for someone, accompanying them', symbolizing 'human destiny, possessing both human and animal forms'】

If Sean's guess was correct, wizards would naturally possess unique reincarnations, and the most significant manifestation was the Animagus.

For example, James Potter, his reincarnation was a stag. This was not only reflected in his Patronus Charm but also in his Animagus.

Since Animagus is the final form of "self" transformation, then transformation that follows the self is always easier.

"Very good."

Professor Marcus Maige nodded, and then she handed Sean a book, which recorded various animal reincarnations.

Until Sean walked out of the Transfiguration classroom, he was flipping through this book.

If he could find his easiest self-transformation, did that also mean he had found his Animagus?

However, wanting to try this, without 'Expert' level Transfiguration, it was absolutely not safe.

So Sean naturally put grinding Transfiguration on the agenda. ===== CHAPTER 168 =====
