No magic in the corridors? This isn’t magic at all!” Alan raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the vine whip was a deliberate choice—this skill had never appeared in this world before, so it certainly couldn’t be classified as magic; he intended to exploit this loophole in the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione was left speechless by Alan’s words, but upon reflection, it did make sense—the vine whip’s form and effect didn’t resemble magic at all; it was more like an organ inside a flower bud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the bound Malfoy was panting—no, gasping for air—this was a normal physiological response; when agitated, nasal breathing alone was insufficient, and his mouth was tightly sealed, forcing him to increase the frequency of nasal inhalation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vine whip’s strength exceeded Alan’s expectations—he found he could effortlessly lift Malfoy into the air. He regarded his cruelly creative work with amusement and murmured, “Yield yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he released his control over Malfoy’s mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—woo-woo-woo—” Malfoy had barely spoken one word when the vine whip sealed his mouth again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy’s expression and gaze in that instant said everything—Alan had no interest in listening to his nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of so many witnesses, he couldn’t resort to outright violence to punish Malfoy, so he opted for a gentler approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another vine whip’s tip slipped inside Malfoy’s clothing, wriggling continuously over his armpits and ribs—sensitive spots...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy struggled even more violently, twisting his body, but it was all futile—the vine whip dug deep into his flesh, carving small indentations into his skin; his eyes widened, his face flushed... no—red with rage...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students watching in the corridor fell utterly silent, staring in stunned awe. This didn’t seem like violence—tickling was more like a student prank, and today Alan’s prank simply had... well... artistic flair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alan’s move was like a Panda ordering takeout—perfectly on point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Alan’s assault, Malfoy quickly broke down. He looked at Alan, his eyes pleading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan was willing to show mercy—he’d given Malfoy enough of a lesson today; this humiliation would linger in Malfoy’s memory for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He retracted the vine whip. Malfoy tumbled from the air, collapsing like a pile of mud, coughing violently, gasping for breath, tears still glistening in his eyes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dared not utter another threat, not even dare meet Alan’s gaze. He had his two lackeys help him up, then slunk away in shame...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corridor returned to normal; other students regarded Alan’s flower bud with awe, though they didn’t know what it was, its power had just been demonstrated beyond doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry and Ron excitedly discussed what had just happened—they’d always hoped to see Malfoy humiliated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione, meanwhile, had vanished somewhere—heaven knew where; she’d simply disappeared all of a sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they’d grown accustomed to Hermione’s unpredictable comings and goings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they next saw Hermione was at dinner, by which time word of Alan’s punishment of Malfoy had spread throughout Hogwarts; Alan felt everyone was secretly watching the vine whip emerging from his flower bud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, after dinner, Alan began using the vine whip again—simply because it was too useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At dinner, it could hold his plate, add seasonings—he didn’t need to lift a finger; the vine whip could do it all, adjustable in length and firmness, far more convenient than human hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why not use such a convenient vine whip?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt full without eating much, attributing it to having sunbathed too long—the flower bud behind him seemed capable of photosynthesis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, the Bud of Bellothorn was by far the most useful transformation he’d randomly obtained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Alan received an owl from Professor McGonagall—she asked him to visit her office again after dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The note unsettled Alan—was McGonagall going to punish him for the corridor incident?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he arrived at her office, he found Professor Sprout, Professor Snape, Professor Flitwick, Professor Dumbledore, and Mr. Scamander all present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>McGonagall didn’t reprimand him for the corridor incident at all; instead, she asked with great concern about the vine whip and the Flying Leaf Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan breathed a sigh of relief and began demonstrating the vine whip and Flying Leaf Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The professors launched into heated discussion—the vine whip was astonishing, while the Flying Leaf Blade was deemed a form of magic, one whose casting method and effects had never been seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After prolonged debate, they reached no conclusion; finally, McGonagall decided more samples were needed—Alan had no right to object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one assigned to collect samples was Professor Snape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the last person Alan wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why Professor Snape?” Alan couldn’t help asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>McGonagall and Dumbledore exchanged glances, then replied calmly: “Because Severus has found a method to permanently preserve the products of your transformation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan doubted he’d misheard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When did this happen?” Alan asked urgently—he needed this technology now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he mastered it, he could make chickens lay eggs, eggs hatch chickens, endlessly accumulating magical materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden path stretched before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could finally escape the life of a performer—he could live by selling his body...\u003C\u002Fp>",916,"2026-06-20T16:09:24.693Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","066e7d0ae4057245116ad60a868c73b15d86d27578fad65c518a22b4d2059ed3","the-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-chapter-240","the-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-chapter-238",284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-cover.jpg"]
