Chapter 178 Magic Transfiguration, the Higher Form of the Wizard

Andy raised an eyebrow, took out his wand and pointed it at a desk.

The desk quickly turned into another fat pig.

"Well..."

Andy compared it to the fat pig that Professor McGonagall had transfigured and quickly discovered the difference between the two.

If the fat pig that Professor McGonagall had transfigured was active and lively, then the fat pig that Andy had transfigured was a large puppet with the appearance of a pig.

It simply seemed like a dead thing.

Andy shrugged and waved his wand to transform the pig back into its original form.

"Well, I'll try harder," Andy said.

Making requests wasn't scary, as long as Professor McGonagall was willing to teach.

There were still several years until graduation, Andy had plenty of time to take his time and learn.

"You have already achieved this level?"

Professor McGonagall revealed a hint of surprise, but quickly returned to a serious look, "If you can spend more time on Transfiguration, maybe you can learn Animagus this year."

"I will," Andy said with a nod.

After leaving the Transfiguration classroom, Andy summarised the things he had to do this year.

Especially, all these things were piled up together.

Stealing potion materials, driving out Lockhart, raiding Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, learning Chinese magic books, studying Secrets of the Darkest Art, and now practising Transfiguration had to be added to the list.

If you count the daily reading and practising magic ...

Oh yeah, and the duelling club on weekends.

Andy had a headache.

***

After eating dinner, Andy returned to the common room to continue reading.

After nightfall, seeing his roommate sleeping as deeply as a dead pig, Andy took out the Marauder's Map and prepared to continue his nighttime adventures.

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."

With the Marauder's Map open, Andy had a look at the real-time movements of the castle crowd.

Dumbledore, as usual, was currently circling his office.

Snape was also staying in his office, it seemed like he was probably making a potion.

Filch was still roaming the castle, attempting to catch a few young wizards on a night out and teach them a lesson they would never forget.

Unlike yesterday, though, there were actually people on a night out today.

And there were still two of them.

Andy had a look at the names, it should be a boy and a girl. Judging from the direction they were moving, they should meet soon.

Met.

Then ... those two people went into an abandoned classroom together.

'Well! They are getting up in the middle of the night for a sneaky date.'

Andy looked on with envy, this is too exciting, isn't it?

'These two guys, George and Fred, I don't know how many unspeakable secrets they've found out as well.' Andy smiled heatedly.

The Marauder's Map is really a good thing.

Seeing that no one was on the seventh floor of the castle, Andy changed his shoes, took his wand, brought his quill and notebook, and sneaked out of the dormitory.

'I want to enter a room that looks exactly like the Headmaster's office.'

After passing back and forth in front of the wall where the Room of Requirement appeared three times, the door to the Room of Requirement slowly appeared.

Andy pushed the door in.

It was exactly the same as the Headmaster's office inside, except ... it was a Headmaster's office without Dumbledore.

Andy took the Secrets of the Darkest Art off the bookshelf while holding his wand and casting a spell on the quill and notebook to make them automatically copy the book.   

With nothing else to do, Andy skimmed a glance at the bookshelf, ready to find another book to pass the time.

Books that could be placed in the Headmaster's office by Dumbledore were some pretty dangerous magic books.

They were not necessarily dark magic books, but the danger of learning them was extremely high. Once a spell was cast and failed, it would cause irreversible and serious consequences.

For example, this book.

Magic Transfiguration (Transformation), The Higher Forms of Wizards.

Andy took this book off the shelf.

The author of this book basically had the same opinion about magic transfiguration as other wizards who researched magic transfiguration.

They all believed that although wizards had magic powers, the wizards themselves were just ordinary beings, completely different from those magical creatures.

And the magic transfiguration was a means to transit wizards from ordinary beings to magical beings.

'Is Voldemort a magical being?' Andy was a bit sceptical.

The biggest benefit of magic transfiguration was that it could increase a wizard's magic reserves and make the wizard's body more adaptable to the magic, thus increasing the power of the magic.

The book also mentioned that magic transfiguration could be divided into three types.

The first kind is to use the blood of magical creatures to complete magic transfiguration.

The second kind is dark magic transfiguration.

The third type, the most basic magic transfiguration, was not obvious in its effects, but it was also not very dangerous.

Most importantly, in this book, the specific methods of the three kinds of magic transfiguration were also mentioned.

Andy felt as if he had acquired a treasure.

In fact, Andy had previously found a method of magic transfiguration in the restricted book section, but that method was too dangerous and required a special magic potion, so Andy didn't dare to try it.

After more than two hours, Andy finished reading the whole book.

"Magic Transfiguration ..."

If previously, Andy was more curious than driven for Magic Transfiguration, then after reading this book, Andy was truly driven.

This book had been lulling Andy into thinking that magic transfiguration would make you a higher-level life form of a wizard.

It was the evolution of life!

'Whew - no wonder Dumbledore put this book in the headmaster's office.' Andy thought quietly.

If this was shown to just anyone, he believed that anyone who had read this book would not be able to resist trying out magic transfiguration.

And once they gained benefits in Magic Transfiguration, they would only be unable to stop anymore.

Andy closed his eyes and operated the Occlumency to empty his mind, and it took a long time before he calmed down.

"It's horrible."

This book was like it would brainwash, the words on it kept influencing Andy's judgement.

"And that's just the copy ..."

Andy didn't dare to imagine whether he could actually resist the temptation of this book if what he had just read was the real one in the headmaster's office.

After calming down, Andy recalled the contents of the book again. It was undeniable that what the book said still had some truth to it.

The danger of Magic Transfiguration was indeed great, but once it was successful, the benefits gained were also unimaginable.

Especially ...

"Is Magic Transfiguration really a way to higher-level life form?" Andy's heart was a little shaken.

Andy took out his wand and gently waved it, summoning his Fat Cat Patronus. Looking at the Fat Cat Patronus that had already mutated, Andy silently pondered in his heart.

"Maybe what is written in the book is right, but the magic transfiguration ... it is necessary to use the safest method."

"Even if the enhancement brought by that method is not great."

Andy glanced at the system and silently added another sentence in his heart.

'Before officially starting the magic transfiguration, the [Magic] attribute must be added up.'
