Chapter 281: Good Luck

Outside the door.

A black cat sat dignifiedly on the windowsill, its tail elegantly wrapped around its front paws.

Not long after, a little wizard appeared in the shadows of the corridor.

Sean was very sure that he had lost the ability to cast magic; this was not because he didn't have a wand, but because he couldn't feel the magic power in his body.

However...

Sean pondered, taking out a Transfiguration notebook:

【Wizards naturally possess a unique secondary body, the most significant manifestation of which is the Animagus.

For example, James Potter, his secondary body is a stag, which is not only reflected in his Patronus Charm but also in his Animagus】.

So, is his secondary body a cat?

Sean was slightly disappointed; he had thought it would be some other animal that could fly.

Wait a minute... not necessarily.

In the air above the stone sculpture in the corridor, a black cat was standing on the back of a giant owl.

It glanced at Nawei, who was returning from the greenhouse in the corridor, and then poked the owl with its meat pad, and the giant owl turned away.

"Oh—truly interesting..."

At the end of the corridor, the old wizard with the long white beard had never expected so many good shows to watch in a few days.

He stroked his beard, full of smiles, and began to look forward to this Christmas immensely.

When Sean transformed from a cat back into a person, he was startled by the suddenly appearing Dumbledore.

"Mr. Green."

Dumbledore blinked.

"Headmaster Dumbledore."

Sean greeted politely.

"Interesting cookies, but... Mr. Green, do you want to learn Animagus?"

Headmaster Dumbledore rarely got straight to the point; he seemed to be looking forward to something.

"Yes, Headmaster."

Although he didn't know what was going on, Sean wouldn't miss the opportunity to learn from the greatest white wizard of this century.

"Every weekend during Christmas, I'd be happy to see you; oh, almost forgot—the password to the Headmaster's office is: Cockroach Cluster."

After speaking, Headmaster Dumbledore slowly left; before leaving, he also said mysteriously and deeply,

"Of course, Animagus is a difficult Transfiguration, but if you have a little bit of luck, yes, just a little bit, you will succeed very quickly, child."

In the Headmaster's office.

Dumbledore had just sat down when Dai Lisi Derwent, St. Mungo's Healer, spoke slowly—yes, she and he, as Headmaster, had swapped positions:

"Albus, are you finally going to let yourself go completely?"

Dumbledore's deep blue eyes became even deeper; he stared at the steaming kettle that was incredibly dirty:

"Dear Dai Lisi Derwent, St. Mungo's Healer, you and I both know that perhaps Animagus transformation best reflects a wizard's will...

The stag that sacrificed for love; the rat hiding in the darkness; the loyal black dog...

And the cat that symbolizes elegance, tranquility, steadiness, and wisdom.

Muggles think black cats represent ominous signs, but wizards don't think so—black cats bring good luck, Dai Lisi Derwent, St. Mungo's Healer, we have always believed."

He gently groomed Fawkes' wings and blinked playfully again,

"Oh—right, must change the lucky statue in the third-floor corridor to a black cat; help me out, Dai Lisi Derwent, St. Mungo's Healer, notify Mr. Filch, that's my Transfiguration, not a prank by the young wizards."

Black cat...

Or rather, Sean?

He was walking through the corridor; transformation that conforms to the secondary body can not only retain consciousness but also be more durable.

One 【Apprentice】 level cookie was enough for him to maintain his secondary body for three minutes.

It could be said to be economical and cost-effective.

The world of a cat is incredibly wonderful; for example, the windowsill was more than three times higher than him; if it were a wizard, he definitely wouldn't be able to jump up, but a cat could do it easily.

No wonder Professor Marcus Marcus Maige liked using her Animagus form so much; Sean gradually understood a little.

Escaping from the wonderful state, Sean began to ponder his next animal series choice.

Not long after, he decided—of course, a stag.

Although he couldn't observe it carefully, relying on the professor's detailed notes, he could still finish it before Christmas.

In Hogwarts Castle, rumors about the Christmas feast began to spread again; this time it was the Weird Sisters, and it was said that their songs would be played at the feast.

Now anyone could chat about this for a couple of sentences.

Sean didn't know if the Weird Sisters thing was true. But Xiang Hemin believed it a little.

As for who or what the Weird Sisters were, Xiang Hemin didn't fully know either, because she had never listened to the Wizarding Wireless Network, but from the excitement of those classmates who had listened to the WWN since they were young, the Weird Sisters seemed to be a very famous music group.

At this time, even the professors began to act strangely; the young wizards could actually see Professor Marcus Marcus Maige and Professor Sineipu walking together.

Everyone knew that Professor Sineipu had always targeted Gryffindor; it could be said that half of Gryffindor's points were deducted by him;

And Professor Marcus Marcus Maige didn't say it on the surface, but the senior students all knew that she always hoped the Gryffindor Quidditch team would beat Slytherin to a pulp.

Now these two could actually walk together and occasionally say a few words; even the ghosts were stunned.

"Actually, their relationship is very good."

The Fat Friar sighed.

"Friar, I agree with your point of view, but we haven't seen this scene for a long time."

A ghost wearing a ruff and doublet responded.

Professor Marcus Marcus Maige hadn't been that stern recently; she was even willing to let the young wizards take a break, and then she would turn the table into a stag.

Sean didn't blink, observing this stag for a long time.

But Professor Qiluo didn't let the students idle, reciting from the book until the last second before class ended. ===== CHAPTER 282 =====
