Outside the Forbidden Forest, Professor Felix, McGonagall and several students looked at each other through thick rain curtains. They held their wands and extended a fine airflow from the tip of the stick, forming a blurred umbrella-shaped air wall above their heads, blocking the rainwater from the outside.

The few people present tried their best to control themselves from looking at Professor Hepp or showing some weird expressions. Because it was not the professor who held the wand, but a sniff. Valen sat on Felix's shoulder, his eyes jumping between Draco, Hannah and Hermione, the big devil said that they would turn into small animals in a while.

Harry and Ron also appeared here. The excuse they made at the beginning was to watch the transformation process of Animagus, but was severely rejected by Professor McGonagall.

“There is no need for this.”

However, the two played the emotional card, "We are Hermione's best friends, I'm really worried--" Unexpectedly, Professor McGonagall looked at them for a while and nodded in agreement. Harry and Ron secretly expressed their luck in their hearts.

"You can start."

The moment the first lightning flashed through the sky, Professor McGonagall said. Above everyone's heads, above the thick black clouds, a huge thunderbird of magic culture flew away.

Hermione, Hannah and Draco staggered into the Forbidden Forest after hearing the sound, scattered in different directions, and disappeared into the storm in the blink of an eye. They were about to get the crystal medicine bottle that had been hidden on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Professor McGonagall held the wand tightly in both hands, and the rain from the wind wet her hair and flowed down her pale cheeks. Her finger joints turned white because of the force of clenching.

"They will be fine," she murmured.

Felix looked into the distance deep in the Forbidden Forest. The heavy rain and darkness did not block his sight. Against a gray background, three glowing outlines continued to go away. At this time, Felix suddenly turned around and looked towards the direction of the castle when they came.

A flash of lightning flashed past him and he seemed to see a blurry silhouette standing on the balcony of the castle.

Felix narrowed his eyes.

Harry also looked over Professor Hepp's gaze, then opened his mouth in surprise and screamed in surprise: "Navi?" In the darkness, a blurry figure rushed towards them, appearing and disappearing in the wild lightning.

Professor McGonagall jumped up in surprise.

"You - Longbottom, why are you -" she said incoherently.

Neville gasped heavily, his face and body were completely wet with rain, covered in mud, and seemed to have been tripped more than one fall in the middle. He gasped, "I—success—at today at sunset—I feel—"

"Did you feel the throbbing of Animagus?" Professor McGonagall finished his words.

"No, that's right." Neville said in the rain.

"Then it's as soon as possible, it's still time," Felix said.

Neville focused heavily and turned around excitedly to run towards the Forbidden Forest. Professor McGonagall looked at his back and exclaimed in a low voice: "It's incredible. Including Longbottom, there are four... They all mastered the patron sacred spell... This discovery will definitely become one of the most subversive theories of deformation this century."

She suddenly turned to Harry and Ron and said seriously: "Potter, Weasley, you must not give up. It is completely worth a try... I have to discuss with Virgil and Jemielin, and suggest that they take time to learn the patron sacred spell..."

Virgil and Jemile Lin are the seventh graders of the two Transformation Clubs, and they still have to insist on chanting spells every day at sunrise and sunset.

Harry and Ron nodded silently, feeling that the leaves of Mandela grass in their mouths were more important. The two of them exchanged glances silently and made up their minds. The next period of time would be to eat in a special cafeteria.

Felix looked at the sky, and the dark clouds completely covered the moon. The black clouds were occasionally broken down by a sharp lightning, leaving solidified spots on the retina and thunder rumbling.

They waited silently, and finally the first person came back.

It was Hermione, her fluffy hair was now pressed against her face, her trouser legs were covered with mud, and she was shaking all over, but she was holding a small crystal pill bottle in her hand, and the mixture of various materials in the bottle had now turned into a blood-red potion.

"Professor, I did it, potion-" she said excitedly.

Felix raised his hand gently with a smile, and four walls rose up from the front, back, left and right of Hermione, surrounded to form a connected space.

"Miss Granger, you are only one step away from success."

"Ji!" Valen cheered her up.

Hermione took a deep breath, pointed the tip of her wand towards the position of her heart, and recited a spell with a tremolo: "Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagos." Then she drank the potion in the bottle in one sip, closed her eyes and waited.

Several pairs of eyes stared at her movements.

"Teacher, professor... is a beaver-my Animagus form." Hermione couldn't help but say.

"Very well, it's what we expected." Felix said calmly, with some convincing power in his tone, Hermione's teeth trembled, trying to hear what he said. "You should feel the pain and two intense heartbeats now, you must integrate into the other without hesitation. There is nothing to worry about. You've experienced more than a dozen deformations, and each time they wandered on the edge of losing control. In comparison, the wild shock of Animagus brought is not worth mentioning."

"We're here," Professor McGonagall said sharply.

Hermione nodded slightly with a trembling trembling, and at this moment, the deformation began.

Harry and Ron must try their best to control themselves before they can stop screaming.

They had seen Animagus' deformation, but when this happened to their familiar friends, they realized how weird it was. Hermione experienced complex human deformations in every part of her body - far more profound than the knowledge they had come into contact with in class - her wet hair was shorter and her head and body were shrinking, as if she was hit by the professor's scalp. The outline of her head gradually transformed towards the direction of a rodent, her clothes kept tightening, blending into the skin, turning into a dark brown hair, and her hands and feet turned into slender claws... A beaver appeared in front of everyone.

"Click!"

Hermione's wand fell down and rolled around the wet ground twice.

"Remember, think about how to properly place your wand before transforming." Professor McGonagall warned in the heavy rain, and Harry and Ron agreed timidly.

Felix's eyes shone with light and stared at the creature in front of him without blinking. It was about two feet long. Compared with rodents of the same genus, the beaver's size is relatively large, but it seems pale in comparison with other creatures. Fortunately, no one among the people present cares about what form Animagus is, and the meaning of magic itself is the most important.

From the perspective of magic, the creature in front of him had almost no magic fluctuations. All the magic power converged in the deepest part of his body, almost solidified, and was somewhat similar to a squib.

A moment of trance flashed in the beaver's eyes, and it made two short screams. "Sweep--" The beaver glanced at Ron who was laughing out loud. Ron apologized seriously, "Sorry, Hermione. I'm looking for the wizarding characteristics of you, I think it might be the pair of big teeth."

Harry tried his best to hold it in, so he didn't let himself laugh with Ron.

"Swoosh!"

Valen jumped off Felix's shoulder and stood in front of the beaver, wiggling excitedly.

The beaver screamed twice, but unfortunately he couldn't speak.

The rain separated Felix's head, and he leaned expressionlessly against the raised wall. At this time, Valen was already writing in the air with his exclusive wand. The beaver looked at the wand that fell to the ground sadly, then lowered his head to look at his short hands, and the beard on his mouth was raised, revealing a pair of big teeth.

A slender palm was handed to it.

The beaver stared blankly at the pea grains in Felix's palm, with a confused expression. Then, it slapped his hand away in anger, and the screams were filled with anger.

Felix took his hand back as if nothing had happened.

"Beautiful job, Granger. It seems you can easily resist the wildness in your body, which is great, you can try to change back."

"Professor, have you prepared this specifically?" Harry asked in amazement.

"I made a lot of preparations for the test," Felix said calmly: "In addition to peas, there are insects and peas that peacocks like to eat, and seeds that squirrels like to eat. Of course, I didn't prepare the Neville portion, but his patron saint is cats, and I happen to have dried fish that have been cured here."

During the time of speaking, Hermione finally found the trick to turn herself back. She sorted out her messy hair. When she picked up the wand, she still stared at Felix in discomfort.

"Professor, you are so well prepared." She said angrily, she almost couldn't resist the temptation to taste the taste of peas. It was hard for the professor to think of it.

"After transforming, the taste will change." Felix said briefly, as if explaining to Hermione, his eyes were still on her, and Professor McGonagall could not bear to see and cleared his throat.

"Well-Professor? What did you find?" Hermione said with a slightly red cheek, her face getting hot.

"Soul Node." Felix murmured.

"What?"

"I'm not sure," Felix thought for a while and said, "The souls of wizards are obviously different from those of ordinary people. I suspect that magic plays an important role in it. One evidence is that even ghosts have magic, which gives them the ability to slightly interfere with real objects. So what makes the souls of wizards so special, and what acts as a bond between the soul and the body?"

"Do you think it's magic?" Hermione asked softly, and Harry and Ron exchanged a surprised look.

"Just a guess." Felix shrugged, raindrops crackling on the leaves. After a moment, he turned to look at the Forbidden Forest, and Draco Malfoy appeared on the edge of the forest, nearly ten minutes slower than Hermione.

However, it is also possible that he had sorted out his clothes in the middle. His hair was very straight and his clothes were dry. He walked towards them slowly, and the red crystal bottle in his hand was placed in the most conspicuous position.

Harry and Ron's mouths drooped.

"Shake a stinking look." Ron murmured in a low voice. Harry thought this was about the point.

Draco was a little surprised to learn that Hermione had completed the Animagus transformation, but he didn't mind having an extra audience to watch. After a moment, he proudly showed off his gorgeous and beautiful peacock feathers, and even tasted two pears provided by Professor Hayp.

As soon as he turned back, Ron immediately laughed at his brief out-of-control behavior without any mercy, "so that he won't show off in front of us." He said to Harry with great prescient knowledge.

"I'm just trying the peacock's taste." Draco retorted with a red face, Harry and Ronzichi hugged their arms and sneered at him, deciding not to admit anything Draco said.

Professor McGonagall ignored the childish behavior of these people. She walked up to Felix and looked at the black forbidden forest with concern.

"Felix...Hannah Aibe and Neville Longbottom are not back."

"It shouldn't be," Felix said wonderingly, "I know the approximate location of their hiding crystal bottles is not far from here. Even if the road to rainstorms is difficult, I should come back now."

"They won't get lost, are they?" Professor McGonagall raised his eyebrows.

They looked at each other and saw incredible things in each other's eyes. The two students got lost together? But there was indeed such a possibility. Professor McGonagall asked Harry and the others to stay where they were, and she and Felix went to the Forbidden Forest to search.

"You are here, I don't want to wait for Longbottom and Abbot to be found, you are gone again." Professor McGonagall said, Felix left Valen and took out two brooms from the ring. Professor McGonagall was eager to try and soar into the sky, and the two glided in the rain.

"There."

After searching for a few minutes, Felix's magical perspective made a contribution. They found Neville and Hannah about two kilometers away from the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and the two students were actually together.

Professor McGonagall landed from the air in anger, then opened his mouth in surprise, and didn't even notice the rain pouring into it.

Two students - to be precise, there was only one person on the scene, Neville trekking in the mud with a red squirrel, the rain flowed down her hair, and when she saw Felix and Professor McGonagall, Neville seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Oh--thank goodness--Professor, you guys are here, Hannah, Hannah is here." He showed the two professors the red squirrel lying quietly in his arms.

"Longbaton, what's going on?" yelled Professor McGonagall, glaring at the Red Squirrel, "Is this Hannah Aibo? She took the potion in advance? Didn't I tell you that you must return with the potion and take it under the professor's supervision?"

The red squirrel trembled.

"Okay." Professor McGonagall sighed, and took the red squirrel from Neville's arms with pity, walked aside and carefully comforted Hannah.

Neville stammered and explained what had just happened.

"After I got the potion, I planned to walk back, but I saw Hannah passing by from a distance, which was deeper in the Forbidden Forest. I thought I had read it wrong..." "So you decided to follow and confirm." Felix said. "Yes, professor." Neville said softly: "Hannah ran very fast, her vision was too poor in rainy days, and she almost lost her way several times, but I probably guessed that she was lost."
