Believe in yourself—you are the most suited to become an Animagus,” Professor McGonagall said gently to Allen, though she seemed more anxious than he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the moment, Allen felt no tension at all; he smiled calmly at the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked the time and realized it was again the second daily incantation hour; he calmly pointed his wand at his heart and recited the incantation three times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he finished, the storm outside finally erupted—gales roared, rain poured in torrents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen stood up and walked silently toward the outdoors; everyone hurried after him, while the Thunderbird Frank circled above them, the violent wind and rain parting around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They soon reached the large tree by the sea, where the ocean boiled like scalding water, towering waves crashing violently against the cliffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You may begin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the first lightning split the sky, Professor McGonagall said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen staggered out of the Thunderbird’s protective range; the rain drenched him to the bone, yet he seemed unaware—he vanished in an instant beneath the tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind and rain grew fiercer; some raindrops broke through the Thunderbird’s barrier and splashed onto Professor McGonagall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall gripped her wand tightly in both hands; rain blown by the wind soaked her hair and streamed down her pale cheeks, her knuckles whitening from the force of her grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’ll be fine,” she murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Dumbledore gazed across the storm at Allen; the rain and darkness did not obscure his vision—in the gray-white backdrop, a small figure knelt beneath the tree...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of lightning illuminated the faces of all present; every expression was grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>February’s rain was still bitterly cold, but Allen felt no chill—he sensed an extra heart within his chest, pumping blood to warm his entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Torrential rain pounded his body; the sea’s waves crashed against the cliffs with deafening force, yet neither affected him in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found the mark he had left—the spot where he buried the crystal vial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gripped his wand, intending to dig into the ground with magic, but suddenly a strong impulse arose within him—he abandoned the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to unearth the crystal vial without any tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He set his wand aside and dug with bare hands; the rain-saturated soil was easy to dig, and soon he found the small crystal bottle—the mixture of ingredients inside had turned a deep crimson potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Professor, I did it—the potion—” he turned, excitedly saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Dumbledore smiled and waved his wand; a transparent shield appeared above Allen, shielding him from the storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Allen, you’re only one step away from success!” Professor Flitwick cried out excitedly. “Keep going!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen took a deep breath, pointed the tip of his wand at his heart, and chanted with a trembling voice: “Amado, Animus, Animado, Animagus.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he swallowed the potion whole and closed his eyes, waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several pairs of eyes fixed intently on her movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen felt intense pain and two fierce heartbeats—he knew this was normal. Then, images of the creature he would transform into surfaced in his mind—a panda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled slowly—he had succeeded. His Animagus form was a panda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to announce this joyous news, a second creature suddenly appeared in his mind—an eagle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen lost his composure—this phenomenon was not anticipated. He was momentarily at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the phenomenon was far from over; more creatures flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern: turtle, hedgehog, giraffe...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The order matched the images that had appeared in his mind each day during the thirty-six days he waited for the storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen carefully counted—there were thirty-six animals in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why were so many creatures appearing in his mind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouldn’t the normal process reveal only one creature?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did the order and types of these creatures exactly match the images that had surfaced in his mind during the thirty-six days of waiting for the storm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dawning understanding began to form within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen stood there in a daze, but those around him grew frantic—they watched Allen drink the potion, then freeze motionless. They feared something had gone wrong, yet none dared disturb him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of reflection, Allen finally came back to himself. He opened his eyes, his expression now uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is your Animagus form?” Professor McGonagall asked urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen glanced around, hesitated, then said: “P-Professor... it’s a panda—my Animagus form is a panda.” He decided to conceal some things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent. This aligns with our expectations,” Professor Dumbledore said calmly, his voice carrying an undeniable authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Flitwick and the Scamanders whispered their cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You should now feel intense pain and two fierce heartbeats—you must unhesitatingly merge with the second one. There is nothing to fear. You have experienced transformation over a dozen times, each time teetering on the edge of losing control. Compared to that, the wild surge from the Animagus transformation is negligible,” Professor McGonagall said sternly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re right here!” Professor Flitwick squeaked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen nodded firmly, shifted his mental image to the panda, and focused on merging with the second heartbeat—then the transformation began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though all present had witnessed Animagus transformations before, each one still brought a fresh sense of wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every part of Allen underwent complex change; his body swelled like an inflated balloon, becoming round and plump, his head’s contours shifting toward a bear’s form, his clothing shrinking and merging into his skin, gradually turning black and white, his hands and feet thickening into stout paws...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A round, plump panda appeared before them...\u003C\u002Fp>",1014,"2026-06-20T16:09:24.693Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","fe181232d96fd6722cfc632c84248d0f437fd5f8572e5d176098c05d8c405298","the-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-chapter-227","the-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-chapter-225",284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-cover.jpg"]
