yet after the fourth and fifth chants, its clarity stopped improving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Allen baffled—Professor McGonagall had never mentioned such a phenomenon, and his second heartbeat had appeared far too early; she had said it would emerge only after some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Allen had no better solution for now, so after breakfast he sent a letter to Professor McGonagall, detailing today’s events—she, as Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts, couldn’t possibly stay with him daily at Scamander Manor; she had returned to Hogwarts last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall returned to Scamander Manor in the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under her observation, Allen completed the evening incantation at sunset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the chanting, Allen felt his second heartbeat more clearly than before, and the panda image in his mind grew sharper with each of the three chants, every detail rendered in perfect clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall’s expression turned serious—she had just detected Allen’s second heartbeat through the incantation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your second heartbeat has appeared earlier than any recorded case,” Professor McGonagall reassured Allen, “but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen then told her about the panda image in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening patiently, Professor McGonagall fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, she came back to herself. “I’ve read every book on Animagus transformation, but none mention anything like this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, since the Animagus form you chose is a panda, this must be related—and perhaps it’s a good sign,” Professor McGonagall speculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright,” Allen accepted her explanation—the two anomalies today had not caused him any discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall went to check the protective and alerting charms around the big tree, then left Scamander Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Allen woke up early again, catching Mr. Scamander’s attention—he had randomly grown a pair of brown wings, which intrigued Mr. Scamander greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are wings of some kind of eagle,” Mr. Scamander declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, Allen’s daily random transformations continued unabated, unaffected by his Animagus ritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen flapped his wings a few times—he had no intention of flying; he needed to stay steady for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went to the same spot as yesterday and chanted the incantation five times facing the rising sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he sensed something odd again: his second heartbeat reappeared, but this time it was markedly different—weaker than yesterday’s, yet much faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second heartbeat was explainable, but the image in his mind had changed—the panda vanished entirely, replaced by a growing, increasingly clear image of an eagle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen realized: the eagle’s wings in his mind matched the wings he had randomly grown today—his mental images were clearly tied to his innate abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled yesterday’s randomly acquired organ: a pair of black, round, furry ears—he hadn’t thought much of it then, but now he recognized them as panda ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know what to do, but his body felt no discomfort or abnormality, so he decided to let things unfold naturally—only writing to Professor McGonagall about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the third day, Allen randomly grew a turtle shell; when he chanted at the appointed time, his second heartbeat reappeared—this time, its rhythm was very slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A turtle’s image appeared in Allen’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen finally understood: his second heartbeat seemed linked to the image in his mind. His past knowledge told him that a slow heartbeat is one key to a turtle’s longevity—and today’s slow heartbeat perfectly matched the turtle image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t be certain of the connection—he needed more data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the fourth day, heavy snow fell over Scamander Manor, blanketing the entire estate in white—though this was normal; it was already January, and the weather had turned bitterly cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Allen’s transformation was even more extraordinary—he grew long, sharp spines across his back; after chanting, a hedgehog’s image indeed appeared in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, he couldn’t verify the link between heartbeat and image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the fifth day, Allen randomly grew a pair of long ears; after chanting, a giraffe’s image appeared in his mind—and this time, his second heartbeat became extremely strong, as if a drum were pounding in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strongly supported his theory: giraffes have blood pressure three times that of humans, so their heartbeat must be far more forceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, Allen also tried using his targeted transformation ability—but to his surprise, it had stopped working; his daily innate transformations were now entirely random.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still didn’t know what purpose these mental images served, but he secretly hoped to randomly acquire an organ from a magical creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore arrived at Scamander Manor over the weekend, bringing greetings from many others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They examined Allen’s body in detail and found no abnormalities; finally, they advised him to continue the ritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen gladly accepted their advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Days passed. Scamander Manor, located in Dorset, England, had a typical temperate oceanic climate—during this time, it snowed one or two more times, but there was never a storm with thunder and lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magical creature organ he longed for never appeared, but his mindset grew increasingly calm with time—he chanted faithfully at every sunrise and sunset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Scamander’s library was vast, and in his spare time, Allen read through these books diligently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also discovered that after he began chanting toward his heart, the animals corresponding to his random transformations had never repeated—a phenomenon never seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time quickly entered February; the air grew damp and chilly. Professor McGonagall wrote to warn Allen that the rainy season had begun, and there was a high probability of thunderstorms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day, as Allen read in the parlor, Mr. Scamander suddenly entered and said: “Allen, prepare yourself—Frank the Thunderbird just informed me there will be a thunderstorm tonight. I’ve already notified Hogwarts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen calmly set down his book. This day had finally come...\u003C\u002Fp>",1013,"2026-06-20T16:09:24.693Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","97d868fb79c7933f5786a351af40b0a0553a55123ed617df9179cf05500fe61d","the-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-chapter-226","the-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-chapter-224",284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-cover.jpg"]
