Chapter 123: Application for Magical Materials

Hot Recommendation:

"Allen! Allen!" A group of young wizards chased after Allen. "Hold your tail up for us to see!" the young wizards chattered.

The young wizards of Hogwarts had extraordinary enthusiasm for Allen's transformation today; the last time there was such enthusiasm was when he transformed wings.

Even Colin Creevey put aside his fear of Allen, holding a camera and continuously pressing the shutter...

This made Allen feel somewhat harassed. Every time he transformed such a large part, he would feel exhausted. The tail wasn't very heavy, but it was mentally draining.

The young wizards followed Allen closely, but they dared not go up and touch Allen's tail; they only watched from the side, because Professor McGonagall had established a temporary school rule—prohibiting young wizards from touching Allen's transformed parts without permission; violators would have house points deducted.

After Professor McGonagall caught a few typical offenders, the young wizards all became much more reserved...

Allen understood the young wizards' feelings quite well. A beautiful animal like the Kong Que, which only existed in zoos and books, suddenly appeared before their eyes, and it was so large; being a bit excited was understandable.

But Allen simply did not like the way the young wizards looked at him, so he had no intention of paying any attention to them.

He cast a Levitation Charm on his tail, so walking felt like nothing, and it wouldn't drag on the ground. The corridors and stairs of Hogwarts were also quite spacious, so Allen had no inconvenience walking around; after all, three meters wasn't that long...

Allen dragged his magnificent tail to Professor McGonagall's office. Professor McGonagall was not surprised by Allen's arrival.

"Truly beautiful!" Professor McGonagall lost her usual seriousness, looking at Allen's tail with admiration. "You should know that few wizards choose to transform into such a beautiful creature!"

"Today your transformed part is also very special; I have never heard of a wizard transforming just this part of themselves. Your transformation this time really has reference value..." Professor McGonagall continued, looking at Allen's perky buttocks.

Allen was rendered speechless by Professor McGonagall's words.

Then Professor McGonagall began sampling. She gently snipped off a tail feather, held it before her eyes, and said admiringly, "Truly beautiful! Pity this beauty can only be preserved until evening!"

Then she inspected the structure of Allen's buttocks with great interest, and after that, she ended this sampling session and returned to her desk work.

But she did not hear the sound of Allen's footsteps leaving. She looked up in confusion and found that Allen was still standing there, not leaving, with a hesitant expression on his face.

"Allen, is there anything else you need?" Professor McGonagall saw that Allen had something to say.

So Allen stated another purpose of this visit—applying for some magical materials for magical transformation.

Of course, his reason was that the day after being treated with phoenix tears last year, he had transformed phoenix eyes.

"You mean you speculate that consuming magical materials from magical creatures can limit your transformation range?" Professor McGonagall said in surprise.

"Yes, this is my personal speculation," Allen said.

Professor McGonagall paced around the office, lost in thought.

Allen quickly pressed his advantage, saying, "I feel that last year I kept transforming thunderbird eyes for the same reason; Professor Snape's potions might contain magical materials from thunderbirds."

Professor McGonagall seemed to think of something. "Although Professor Snape didn't tell me the potion formula, last year the magical materials he applied for included thunderbird bones."

Hearing this, Allen breathed a sigh of relief: fortunately, it wasn't thunderbird droppings.

"So, I want to apply for some magical materials for talent transformation." Allen observed Professor McGonagall's expression and stated his true purpose.

Professor McGonagall fell into deep thought again.

"Your idea is very good, but I suddenly have some concerns."

Professor McGonagall said ponderingly.

Allen looked at Professor McGonagall in confusion.

"I am worried that transforming the body parts of magical creatures will bring danger to you." Professor McGonagall looked at Allen and said directly, "Before, you kept randomly getting parts of ordinary animals; at that time, my concern wasn't that strong. Later, you randomly got body parts of some magical creatures; at that time, I was powerless. But now you want to actively use magical materials to transform body parts of magical creatures, so my concern has become very strong."

"My talent seems to have an adaptive ability; my body can actively adapt to the transformed parts..." Allen hurriedly defended himself.

"But you don't know what the upper limit of your adaptive ability is!" Professor McGonagall interrupted Allen.

Allen was left speechless by her words; he indeed had not thought about this problem...

"I am very happy that you have the willingness to actively research your own talent, but your ability is partial transformation, which means you cannot fully adapt to the magical power of magical creatures."

"So I think you need an expert in magical creatures to provide you with professional advice. You must at least know which parts of magical creatures will bring danger to you, and how to handle it when encountering these dangers..." Professor McGonagall said seriously.

Allen suddenly thought of the Thestrals. He suddenly realized that what Professor McGonagall said made a lot of sense; transforming was something that could not be too rash.

"Do you remember Newt Scamander, whom I recommended to you last year?" Professor McGonagall suddenly changed the subject.

"Ah? Yes, I remember!" Allen replied.

"He is very interested in you, and he is also the most famous expert in the world today researching magical creatures. I think you should ask for his opinion before transforming into magical creatures," Professor McGonagall said.

Allen keenly detected the implied meaning in Professor McGonagall's words.

"So, do you agree to my application?" Allen asked excitedly.

"I will discuss your application for magical materials with Professor Dumbledore," Professor McGonagall said, raising an eyebrow, "and I will also submit the application to increase your salary for cooperating with the research. Your salary for this part in the future will increase from 20 Jin Jin Jialong to 30 Jin Jin Jialong."

"Thank you, Professor!" Allen said happily.

"Don't get happy too soon; Professor Dumbledore might not approve these applications," Professor McGonagall put her stern face back on.

Then she hinted, "However, Hogwarts' budget is still very sufficient."

Allen happily left Professor McGonagall's office; he felt this matter was settled.

Then he returned to the Great Hall to have lunch.

He found Harry and the other two; Hermione was burying her head in reading "Voyage with a Vampire."

"Is it Defense Against the Dark Arts this afternoon?" Allen snatched Hermione's timetable, wanting to confirm.

The next moment, he noticed something was wrong. "Why have you circled all of Lockhart's classes with hearts?" Allen asked in some surprise.

He didn't know that when he said this sentence, the tail feathers on his tail stood up, unfolding into a magnificent circle behind him...
