Chapter 666 Gifts and wands?(1/2)
On the first day of school after the holiday, sixth-grade students sat in the magic class classroom. Professor Frieve, who is of fairy blood, was flooded with the storm outside. He waved his wand, and the violent window was sealed, and the classroom became quiet.
"Okay, classmates, focus, there are less than two months left before the final exam." Flivi held his wand and said in a sharp voice: "Open the textbook and read the contents of the penultimate chapter."
The students silently took out the textbooks and read the contents of the textbooks. The closed windows separated the bean-sized raindrops and the black sky from the outside, but from time to time, rumbling thunder still penetrated into their ears.
Ron and Hermione exchanged a worried look through the time of flipping the book.
"Harry will be fine." Ron whispered with a little uneasiness, Hermione nodded slowly. There was a free spot next to them, which was left for Harry, but nearly two hours had passed since they were separated.
In the Hagrid hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
The thick rain hit the roof with a crackling sound. In the room, Haipao stood anxiously by the fire, not even the milk jug on the stove boiled. The hound teeth whimpered and whimpered.
"Don't you even recognize Harry?" Hagrid roared at the horrified hound who was hiding behind him.
In front of them, Felix, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were spinning around a tall stag, checking its status.
"Are you okay, Harry?"
The stag screamed twice, then seemed to find that the language was not understood, so he quickly shook his head with antlers. However, Felix and Dumbledore did not relax their guard. Felix's eyes turned gray and he walked slowly around the stag.
Dumbledore also looked at it with a steady look, his sharp eyes seemed to penetrate the hart's brown-gray skin.
It took more than ten minutes before the two stopped moving.
Felix and Dumbledore exchanged glances. "I didn't find any problem." Felix said, Dumbledore blinking, "I'm the same. But I need to watch again."
"I'll stay, I don't have class in the morning," Felix said understandably.
Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall left together. When they pushed open the door, a flash of lightning broke through the open space in front of the house, illuminating Professor McGonagall's somewhat confused expression, "Dumbledore, I don't understand..."
The door closed behind them.
"It's really heavy." Hagrid said in a muffled voice, then watched in surprise as the stag's huge antlers slowly contracted, and stood upright, turning into a wizard. He walked over and put a thick arm comparable to his thighs on Harry, and then stuffed the hot cup into Harry's arms.
"Drink some milk, you may be exhausted..."
"Thank you, Hagrid. If you ask me, I know how the rain came about."
Harry mumbled, and at this moment, Felix leaned his head out the window. They heard a loud chirping sound from the top of his head.
The rain gradually became lighter.
Harry sipped in a sip of hot milk. He had just experienced the first time Animagus transformed in his life and his mood gradually calmed down, and some new thoughts appeared.
Two weeks after the last full moon, he felt Animagus's throbbing again, and everything seemed to be natural. He learned from the lessons he learned last time and found Professor McGonagall to report immediately, fearing that a coma would appear on the road and repeat the same mistakes.
It can be seen that Professor McGonagall seemed to have the same idea, and she quickly informed Professor Happ.
The next development was beyond Harry's expectations - Principal Dumbledore, who appeared with Professor Hepp, was missing during the entire Easter holiday. He had a pleasant spark in his eyes, but when he saw Harry, the smile on his face slightly restrained.
"It happened to be," Dumbledore explained briefly: "I promised to help gather some clouds."
This reason sounds reasonable, because there are only two or three thin clouds hanging in the sky. If there were no surprises, today would have been a sunny day, but twenty minutes later, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a huge shadow appeared from Professor Happ. Harry knew it was a thunderbird.
In just a while, lightning and thunder were roaring outside, and heavy rain was pouring.
After getting the hidden potion, Dumbledore did not let Harry try to transform immediately, but took him to the vicinity of Hager's cottage, who was taking the red potion in the vegetable field. Hager seemed to be in a hurry to visit the group of people, and the house was messy, and he was amazed when he saw Harry turning into a huge stag.
I don't know if it was the illusion brought by the deformation, but Harry actually felt that the professors were a little nervous. It was not difficult to understand this kind of thing in Professor McGonagall, because under her serious appearance there was a heart that cared for students, but it was very strange to Professor Happ and Dumbledore.
Especially when compared with Hermione's transformation experience, Professor Happ's expression at that time was like going out for an outing, and Harry was impressed by the way he took out various snacks from his pocket.
He was afraid that the professor would follow suit this time, so he took out a handful of weeds from his pocket and stuffed them into his mouth.
After successfully transforming, Harry was led to the cottage - he reluctantly left the pumpkin field. The green pumpkin seedlings had a different attraction to him. He realized that he had not had breakfast today - several professors took turns to check his body, as if his Animagus form was not a stag, but a delicate and fragile porcelain.
There must be something that was not considered in the middle, Harry thought angrily.
Before I knew it, a glass of milk was found.
"It's almost time to rest, Harry, let's try again." Felix said, the rain had stopped completely, and a beam of sunlight shone into the room. After hearing this, Harry put down his cup and stood up silently.
"It's better to take a break and eat a sausage or something." Hagrid said from the side.
"Hagge, time is limited, let's finish the work first," Felix said. "When the training is over, I think Harry should prefer vegetable foods."
After saying that, he signaled that Harry could start, Harry took a deep breath and pointed his wand at him, his heart pounding vigorously, and a tall animal image appeared in his mind, Harry embraced the feeling with all his strength.
His body began to deform, and his clothes and glasses melted into his body like liquid, and he felt discomfort, but it was much better than the severe pain at the first time. He even managed to control the sudden urge to escape from the broken window.
In the stag state, some of his human characteristics were preserved, with a dark piece of fur around his eyes, which was reminiscent of the glasses Harry usually wore. His wand fell to the floor.
Felix looked at Harry seriously.
There is a light circle of light outside the stag's body, which is flawless, but there is a layer of black light hidden under the white light, which seems to be integrated with the fur on its body and is difficult to detect.
It took a full ten minutes before Harry was allowed to change back. He was panting, and the ease of the second deformation made him feel the pressure of the professor's eyes.
"Professor, is there something wrong?" Harry asked.
"Not found yet," Felix said.
Long before Harry practiced Animagus, he and Dumbledore considered the risks, and concluded that the problem was not big. Voldemort's soul fragments were actually attached to Harry's soul, not a part of his body. Therefore, theoretically speaking, Animagus's transformation technique would not have much impact on Harry.
But it's always right to be careful about some things.
After all, there are magic powers in the soul fragments, and no one can guarantee that these magic powers will not participate in the deformation. But judging from the fact that the soul fragments have been in a sleepy state, the probability of this possibility occurs is slim.
Next is to test whether repeated deformation will activate sleeping soul fragments.

It was not until noon that Felix left Hager's cabin. Harry looked at the time and decided to stay for lunch with Hager. After a while, the iron pot was filled with the aroma of mushrooms and wild vegetables.
"Knock!"
There was a knock on the door outside, and Harry and Hagrid looked at each other. Harry walked over and opened the door. Ron and Hermione stood outside. He was about to talk, but Hermione couldn't wait to say, "I met Professor Hag on the road."
"It's really a coincidence." Harry said with a smile.
So the four of them stared at the mushroom soup, "The amount is not enough," Hagrid muttered, "I remember there are still some cookies..." Hermione hurriedly took out a bunch of snacks from the beaded bag, and Harry and Ron also advised Hagrid not to work hard.
"It's quite ready." Haig said in a muffled voice, stirring the food in the pot with a spoon, "Then I'll roast some more sausages, sizzling oil, your favorite."
Harry suddenly felt nauseous. Professor Happ's words unfortunately came true.
He was going back and check what the hart usually likes to eat, but maybe it was not necessary, just follow his feelings. He is now obsessed with the pumpkin behind the house...
"So, everything went smoothly in the transformation of Ya? Dumbledore also appeared?" Ron asked with a strong sense of purpose. Hager's attention was drawn away. Harry mentioned that the reason why Dumbledore appeared was to "create some clouds", and Ron and Hermione were half-believing and half-doubted.
"But since the professors say it's okay, it means you can practice Animagus in the future?" Ron whispered: "It's great. I don't know when I will experience that feeling." He couldn't help but feel sorry for himself.
"This is my second attempt, so it's natural to be faster," said Harry.
Hermione suggested that Ron practice the patron spell more when he was fine.
"Time is always not enough," Ron said distressedly. "Professor Flivie told us in the morning that he was only six weeks away from the exam, and then he assigned a two-foot homework."
They quickly skipped the topic, the pot on the stove boiled, and the four of them happily enjoyed a meal of mushroom and vegetable soup and grilled sausage, and Hagrid ate three-quarters of the food alone.
After eating and drinking, the topics they chatted more and more diverged.
"Professor Basharat is also very knowledgeable about the patron saint. He said that high-level patron saints can add additional magic." Harry said after swallowing a mouthful of chocolate cauldron cake, patting his bloated belly, and slapping it.
When it comes to magic, Hermione becomes smart immediately.
"There is such a possibility," she analyzed slowly, "Remember? Professor Haipu can integrate ancient magic text into his patron saint, but he almost reconstructed the magic with memory nodes..."
"When it comes to Professor Basharat," Haeger seemed to think of something, "I forgot to send him Easter eggs, poor man...I remember he said he came from abroad and no one might give him a gift."
"Dumbledore gave it," Harry said immediately, "I saw the packaging boxes and greeting cards in his office. Well-Nevil and I gave it too."
"Oh, that's good." Hagrid seemed relieved, "Dumbledore was indeed considerate enough in this regard. He also gave Snape a gift, just the morning of Easter, I guess..."
"Wait!" Harry interrupted quickly, "You said Easter the morning next morning?"
"Yes." Heg looked at him wonderingly.
"But Dumbledore was not--" Harry was a little confused. What Dumbledore told him was that he would stay with his brother during the whole holiday and there were important things to deal with.
"Maybe he's back in the middle." Hermione guessed in a low voice.
"Yes, Hogsmeade is so close to the school, he comes back after a walk in the morning." Ron said.
Harry was almost convinced, and although he still had a little doubt in his mind, he asked Hagrid:
"Did you see them? Where? What did they say at that time?"
"I don't know, I just came back from the depths of the Forbidden Forest, and Glopp would now build his own house. Cough--I walked away when I saw them talking." Hagrid said sternly: "Do I look like someone eavesdropping on people's words? And my size doesn't allow it..."
Ron laughed out loud, and he hurriedly covered his mouth, "Sorry, Hagrid—unintentional mistake."
"What about their actions at that time? Didn't you say Snape received the gift?" Harry continued to ask.
"It's quite curious," Haeger glared at him, but still showed a memory expression. "Well, I just glanced at it in a hurry-Snape's face was not very good at that time... Dumbledore had a light tone and kept persuading him to accept something. I think it's impossible for a gift to be anything other than a gift, right?"
Harry lowered his head and thought.
"So, you didn't see Snape holding a round Easter egg, but just heard a sentence or two... Could it be that Dumbledore wanted Snape to accept something else?"
"What can it be?" Hager asked back, pulling his bearded man.
To be continued...
