Chapter 661: Hogwarts Learning Panel Chapter 280

There were purring Kneazle biscuits, fire-breathing Dragon biscuits, screeching Hippogriff biscuits... all neatly arranged on the display rack beside the workbench.

Today, there was also an overly wonderful Cat-Leopard biscuit.

When Sean met the biscuit's gaze, the world before his eyes began to distort in the blink of an eye, turning into various places familiar to Sean:

The Transfiguration office where the fireplace crackled, the dungeon where the cauldron bubbled, the Maige villa where snow fell incessantly...

Sean raised his wand with a calm expression, and 【Entry】 level Occlumency pulled him back to reality in just a short while.

He picked up the Cat-Leopard biscuit and took a bite.

A little wizard was suddenly missing from the secluded room.

When movement sounded in the room again, a Cat-Leopard appeared as if out of thin air.

It had elegant ink-black fur, with silver-white patterns like cloud embroidery, and what was even more special were those green eyes, revealing a soul-stirring brilliance.

When the Cat-Leopard silently examined its own body, it discovered something unexpected, yet within reason.

That was, it was very small.

Literally small; it was only a circle larger than a Kneazle.

Like a juvenile Cat-Leopard.

It guessed that this was brought about by the 【Apprentice】 level Cat-Leopard biscuit.

Just like the difference between a small Dragon biscuit and a real Dragon biscuit—in the panel's rating, when the small Dragon biscuit reached 【Expert】, it transformed into a Dragon biscuit.

So, should this be considered a 【Juvenile Cat-Leopard Biscuit】?

Hmm... the more important question was, was the Cat-Leopard's unique Legilimency ability mature?

Verifying this was not simple; the Cat-Leopard thought for a moment, then shook the pendant on its neck.

A book jumped down from the pendant out of thin air, growing larger layer by layer, and finally unfolded to form an exquisite oak door.

"Obeying your will—please command Will—"

The Pukwudgie butler's aura was not low.

Its upward-looking gaze stalled, it looked left and right, and finally stood there blankly.

"Look down."

A familiar voice came, and the Pukwudgie butler gave a start, hurriedly lowering its head.

Upon lowering its head, it discovered something incredible.

Its respected master, the great wizard it had sworn loyalty to... how had he turned into a Cat-Leopard?

"Please forgive me—it's too late—"

With a snap of its fingers, Sean found himself being hugged, and the Pukwudgie butler asked with an anxious face,

"Respected Mr. Green, where is the Hogwarts hospital wing?"

"I did not fail the transformation."

Something like a brooch on the Cat-Leopard's neck said.

"Of course, of course, for a great wizard like you, this is just a small exploration, an accidental exploration, oh, that is what Master William taught..."

The Pukwudgie butler's thick eyebrows twisted into a knot.

"This is my Animagus."

The Cat-Leopard probably understood.

An Animagus in the form of a magical creature was still not common for Will.

It raised its head, staring at the clock made of elm wood; the time had already pointed to eight-ten.

Exactly three minutes since the transformation began.

Thus, in front of Will's constantly shaking body, a little wizard naturally stood in place.

"Master William's blessing—"

Will pierced its arm with its sharp nails; the pain made it understand that it hadn't been hit by any Confundus Charm.

"Master William—has the power of the Fairy Tale biscuits reached such a level?

Oh, this is Will's small question, you don't have to answer.

Will knows that for a great wizard like you, there are always many profound and mysterious secrets."

Will asked cautiously.

"It's nothing, Will.

When a wizard's Animagus form matches animal transformation, the wizard will not lose consciousness, because their soul has not been distorted."

Sean explained.

"Oh, oh, soul... distorted..."

Will was muddled, but nodded incessantly.

Seeing its appearance, Sean knew it hadn't understood at all, so he pulled up his Transfiguration notes and briefly expounded on the knowledge of soul transformation and possession.

When Sean let the Transfiguration notes return to the Wizard's Book, Will had already buried its head, and Sean could see its small body trembling slightly.

This made the little wizard frown slightly.

"This is..."

"Master William above—"

Will suddenly let out a cry, its eyes filled with something shiny,

"Ah, if only Mr. Green knew.

If only he knew what wizards are like toward us humble Pukwudgies in the magical world.

Every day they want to turn us into creatures like house-elves.

House-elves! Wizards used to treat those house-elves like pests, sir! Of course, they still treat house-elves like that now, sir.

That is the reason they will never have many house-elves—no creature is born to be enslaved!

And Pukwudgies must hide, must resist, otherwise greedy wizards will not give up their terrible desires..."

Sean listened silently; he had never learned history from the mouth of... a goblin other than a wizard.

"Do you know what is the most precious thing in all this?

Knowledge! Sir, just as Lady Isolt Sayre said: Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure."

Sean was suddenly speechless, not knowing where Lady Isolt had learned Lady Ravenclaw's maxim. ===== CHAPTER 662 =====
