Chapter 61: Illegal Animagus

Night, John was flipping through a book about Animagi in the library.

The library was quiet.

Only a few sounds of pages turning remained.

John suddenly closed the book and looked up at the ceiling.

The candlelight flickered, reflecting John's dead fish eyes and the cold sneer at the corner of his mouth.

That expression looked a bit dead.

Heh.

Should have thought of it earlier.

How could there be a dog that understands human language?

Transforming the human body into an animal belongs to a very advanced transformation spell.

But no matter how advanced it is, it's impossible to turn yourself into an animal.

The only way to turn yourself into an animal is through Animagus.

Yesterday, the man he saw in the Shrieking Shack was a black dog transformed using Animagus.

This is the pinnacle skill of transformation spells.

It can turn a wizard into an ordinary animal, without magic power, unable to cast spells, but also unable to be detected by magic.

It belongs to the best hand for stealing information, peeping, eavesdropping, and monitoring.

Usually, it takes several years to master.

The animal transformed into is not freely chosen, but determined by the wizard's own personality and characteristics.

This transformation learning process has irreversible dangers, which may cause people to go into demonic possession, or even be lost in animal form forever.

And after transformation, because the animal's appearance is not easy to attract attention, the ability is likely to be abused by people to engage in illegal activities.

Therefore, the Ministry of Magic has very strict management of Animagi; even if learning, there must be someone to accompany them to avoid accidents.

After learning, one must go to the Ministry of Magic to register, to prevent people from abusing this ability to engage in illegal activities.

However, according to his understanding, among the only 7 registered Animagi currently, no one can turn into a black dog.

In other words, the man he saw yesterday was an illegal Animagus.

John rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

It seems I still haven't adapted to the thinking of the magical world.

This kind of magic he had seen from Professor McGonagall, he had never thought of it.

John put the book back on the shelf.

Walked out of the library slowly.

Standing by the corridor, looking at the full moon above his head.

The moonlight was like silver, spilling onto the empty corridor.

At this time, Professor Lupin should be transforming in some hidden room in the castle.

After seeing that man in the Shrieking Shack yesterday, John fell directly on the board.

According to the description of Titus and the others, it was Professor Lupin who brought him back.

Professor Lupin claimed to the outside world that John was exploring at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, ran into a Dementor, and was fainted by the Dementor.

John had no choice but to accept this setting.

After all, he was now on the same side as Professor Lupin.

However, he was also criticized and educated by Professor McGonagall because of this.

Even Hermione came to teach him a lesson after smelling the scent.

As for who that man was, John didn't know yet.

Because he hadn't seen Professor Lupin's figure all day today; he should be preparing for tonight's transformation.

To be honest, after knowing Xiaohei was a person, John suddenly lost interest in him.

Especially after knowing he was an illegal Animagus, he didn't want to care even more.

But he already knew some things, and wanting to let go and not care anymore was clearly unrealistic.

So he still had to figure out who that person was, what his relationship with Professor Lupin was, and why he turned into a dog and lived in the Shrieking Shack.

So as not to cause any trouble in the future and get himself involved.

It was the next day again.

Professor Lupin was still not seen today.

Although the Wolfsbane Potion can calm the madness during werewolf transformation.

But it cannot relieve the pain and weakness brought by the transformation.

So Professor Lupin should also be resting today.

John didn't care about waiting a few more days; anyway, it made no difference to him.

After spending the day with normal classes.

At the end of the last class, on the way to the Great Hall, John met Hermione, who had red eyes and was full of anger.

It felt like she had been crying from anger.

When Hermione saw John, she lowered her head subconsciously, not wanting John to see her unbearable appearance.

But John had noticed her long ago, so how could he turn a blind eye.

"What happened, Senior Hermione?"

John frowned, but his tone was concerned.

"It's nothing, John, just sand in my eyes."

Hermione shook her head, a forced smile on her face, pretending that nothing had happened.

While wiping her tears, she smiled.

She didn't want John to know what kind of grievances she had suffered.

Or rather, she didn't want John to know what nicknames others called her.

It's just that John clearly didn't believe this.

But seeing that Hermione didn't want to say, he couldn't force her to say sad things, right?

So John changed his expression.

"Is that so? Then Senior Hermione, let me blow it for you."

"Eh?"

Hermione, who was wiping her tears, was stunned, looking up at John's smiling face.

Hermione's little face was instantly dyed with a few blushes.

Not obvious, but very good-looking.

After seeing John's smile, Hermione turned her head away again.

Pretending to be serious, she said arrogantly.

"No, no need, you're not even as tall as me, yet you want to help me blow my eyes."

?

Hey! You.

If you don't want it, just say so; why do you have to attack me personally?

John turned red instantly.

Without talking nonsense, he threw out a pebble and waved his wand, and the pebble turned into a small stool.

Hermione was still wondering what John wanted to do.

Only to see John step on the stool, directly a head taller than Hermione.

Then John boldly reached out, directly cupped Hermione's cute face, and looked at himself.

"Is it tall enough now, Senior Hermione?"

John looked straight into Hermione's eyes and said with a smile.

Hermione was stunned by this sudden action, and after reacting, the blush on her face deepened rapidly.

She opened her mouth subconsciously, wanting to say something, but couldn't speak.

"Alright, don't move."

John cupped Hermione's face lightly, carefully blew the non-existent sand, and then helped her wipe away the tear stains at the corners of her eyes.

Hermione stood in place, letting John stroke her face.

She only felt her heartbeat like a drum, and for a moment she was at a loss.

"Sure enough, Senior Hermione looks better when she smiles."

After John finished all this, he retracted his hand with satisfaction and said with a smile.

Then he jumped off the stool and kicked it away.

The stool turned back into a pebble and fell into the garden on the side.

"How is it, Senior Hermione, are your eyes more comfortable?"

"... en, hmm."

Hermione nodded mechanically, the blush on her cheeks had not yet faded, and she didn't dare to look into John's eyes.

John looked at Hermione's appearance and couldn't help but raise a smile at the corner of his mouth.

The little girl is quite innocent, really cute.

However, John didn't intend to let her go.

The personal attack just now wasn't going to be settled so easily.

Only to see John lean over and get close to Hermione, deliberately looking at her blushing appearance.

"Yo, Senior Hermione, are you blushing?"

"Let me see."

John said teasingly on purpose.

Hermione was said by John's face-to-face mockery, and her face became hotter and hotter.

But at the same time, she was very unconvinced; clearly, he was a younger brother three years younger than her, yet he dared to ride on her head and provoke her.

So Hermione tried to stay calm and retorted.

"That's because it's illuminated by the sunset!"

Hearing this, John smiled even more brilliantly, said a light "Oh", and nodded as if suddenly enlightened.

This appearance made Hermione gnash her teeth.

"Stinky John!!"

Hermione finally couldn't help it, reached out and lifted John up.

?

John, whose feet were off the ground, was stunned.

No, are you Lin Daiyu pulling up a willow tree? ===== CHAPTER 62 =====
