Chapter 128: The Revelation Brought by the Demiguise

Hot Recommendation:

After finishing breakfast, Allen asked Harry and Ron to escort him to Professor McGonagall's office, while Hermione went to the library to search for information.

Harry and Ron were still quite afraid of Professor McGonagall; they dropped Allen off at the door to her office and ran away, telling Allen they would wait for him not far away.

This time, Allen did not knock but spoke out directly, fearing that if Professor McGonagall saw his appearance today, she would act immediately. "Professor McGonagall, it is Allen. I encountered some problems with Transfiguration today..."

Professor McGonagall raised her head from her paperwork and then could not take her eyes off him.

"Professor McGonagall, it is Allen!" Allen continued to state his identity.

"How did you become like this?" Professor McGonagall relaxed a little after hearing the familiar voice.

So Allen explained to Professor McGonagall at length, recounting all his attempts and discoveries from today.

After listening, Professor McGonagall also fell into deep thought...

"Obviously, the rare magical creature skin you randomly obtained today possesses Xing De Mo Fa capable of invisibility." Professor McGonagall spoke only after thinking for quite a while.

Allen nodded in agreement.

"You said that for a moment this morning you saw yourself covered in silvery-white long hair?" Professor McGonagall continued to ask.

"Yes!" Allen recalled for a moment and said affirmatively.

"There are only a few types of magical creatures capable of invisibility, and the only one that matches your situation today is the Demiguise." Professor McGonagall gave her answer.

"Demiguise?" Allen murmur solemnly repeated this unfamiliar term.

"The Demiguise is a gentle herbivore. It can make itself invisible, it generally lives in the Far East, and its body is covered in silvery-white long hair. Invisibility Cloaks are woven from Demiguise hair; this is very similar to your Transfiguration today..." Professor McGonagall explained.

"It seems my skin was Transfigured into Demiguise fur today, and the Demiguise fur gave me the ability to become invisible..." Allen said thoughtfully.

【A veteran reader of ten years recommended this reading app to me: Mimi Reading! It's truly damn useful. I rely on its read-aloud feature to pass the time while driving or before sleep; you can download it here.】

"Yes, because you Transfigured only part of yourself, you cannot see your own invisible body. If your eyes had also been Transfigured into Demiguise eyes, you would not have been so inconvenient today..." Professor McGonagall drew her conclusion.

Allen felt Professor McGonagall's conclusion was correct. "Then do you know how to control the Demiguise fur to cancel the invisibility?" Allen asked the question that concerned him most.

Professor McGonagall shook her head gently and said, "I do not know. I think no one in all of Hogwarts knows, because this is not the direction of everyone's research, and the Demiguise is a very rare magical creature."

Allen showed a disappointed expression. "It's fine. By tomorrow, the Demiguise fur will probably disappear."

"We still need to figure out how to control it. After all, if there is a first time, there may be a second time, so we need to consult an expert." Professor McGonagall seemed to feel Allen's attitude was somewhat negative.

"Are you referring to Mr. Newt Scamander?" Allen understood who Professor McGonagall was talking about.

"I wrote him a letter a few days ago and had Hedwig deliver it. I still have not received a reply." Allen complained.

"That is normal. You should know that Mr. Scamander should be ninety-five years old now. You should be considerate of an old man!" Professor McGonagall heard the complaint in Allen's tone.

Allen was shocked; he never expected Newt to be over ninety years old.

"Wait patiently! Mr. Scamander is a very good person, and Headmaster Dumbledore respects him greatly." Professor McGonagall instructed Allen.

"Okay!"

Then came the routine sampling process...

Before Allen left the office,

Professor McGonagall told Allen that Professor Dumbledore had approved his application for magical materials, and his application to increase his research salary had also been approved.

However, applications for magical materials must be submitted separately each time, and the purpose must be explained in detail.

Although the added restrictions made Allen somewhat annoyed, this was a very exciting matter.

At noon after finishing his meal, Hedwig brought Allen a letter. Hedwig had circled the Great Hall for a long time without finding Allen; finally, Harry spotted it, forcibly took the letter from its leg, and handed it to Allen. This incident made Hedwig very dissatisfied with Harry.

The letter was a reply from Newt Scamander. In it, he expressed great interest in Allen's talent and stated that Allen could ask him about any magical creature problems at any time, welcoming Allen to visit him.

The wording of the letter was sincere, neither arrogant nor humble, giving the reader a feeling like a spring breeze. Allen could not help but develop a good impression of him...

Allen immediately wrote a reply, expressing his gratitude to Newt Scamander in his heart, then described his situation today, and finally raised the question of how to control whether to become invisible or not.

Then he had Hedwig send the letter away.

The afternoon was Potions class. Professor Snape had always had high resistance to Allen's various strange Transfigurations, and today was no exception; he still wore that same frowning expression.

However, Allen's Transfiguration today affected the progress of his Potions class because they had to use small knives to cut many ingredients in Potions class. Since Allen's hands were transparent, he had no reference when cutting things, and he constantly worried he might cut his hand because of it...

Such worry greatly slowed Allen's speed. Finally, Allen Transfigured a pair of gloves for himself to solve the problem, but by then the progress had fallen far behind. As a result, Allen did not complete the class assignment by the end, and Professor Snape therefore deducted one House Point from Gryffindor...

By evening, Allen lay on his bed again. Today's Transfiguration opened Allen's mind once more; he had never before thought of skin as an organ for talent-based Transfiguration.

Then a bold idea gradually appeared in Allen's mind—not to strip naked and go out causing trouble.

Rather, he thought that since he could Transfigure skin, could he not Transfigure the skin of some magical creatures to increase his defense and thereby increase his combat power?

The more Allen thought about this idea, the more reliable it seemed, but which magical creature's skin would be most suitable?

He quickly found something suitable from his meager knowledge of magical creatures—dragon hide and dragon scales!

Based on today's Transfiguration experience, he should be able to Transfigure dragon hide, with dragon scales being attached to the dragon hide.

The significance of dragon hide and dragon scales need not be elaborated; they possess strong defensive power and can resist many spells. Just thinking about it gives a sense of security.

This idea made Allen excited, and he decided to try it tonight!

So he picked up his wand and let this idea fill his heart...
