Chapter 134 The Passerby Who Didn't Get the Owl in Harry Potter 11
The holiday went by so fast, and school started in the blink of an eye. In the early morning, Jiang Yue was woken up by her mother, dressed, and went downstairs. Her luggage had already been packed and placed downstairs. There wasn't much else in it. After learning that Jiang Yue's food box had a preservation function, her mother packed a lot of Chinese dishes for her. Although they weren't as delicious as the spiritual food, they contained her mother's love.
After packing their things and heading out, they glanced at the gloomy weather, which looked like it was about to snow. After the two families met up, the adults reminded Jiang Yue and Hermione to check their luggage to make sure they hadn't forgotten anything. The two shook their heads to indicate that they hadn't, and then they set off in the car. When they arrived at King's Cross Station, they dropped Jiang Yue and Hermione off at the platform. They had already said goodbye at home, and besides, they had the Mirror now, so they could contact each other anytime they missed each other. After a hug, Jiang Yue and Hermione waved goodbye and entered Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.
After getting on the bus, Jiang Yue greeted some familiar faces and found a private room with Hermione. There weren't many people around during the holiday, so no one bothered them. After getting on the bus, Jiang Yue put a single leaf of mandrake in her mouth and also took a fasting pill. She also asked Bai Ze to monitor and remind her not to swallow it.
After returning to school, classes resumed as normal. During this time, the trio finally found information about Nicolas Flamel. Jiang Yue didn't care what happened after that. She had been holding the leaf for almost a month, and the second full moon would be in two days. She had prepared the three items: hair, a silver teaspoon of dew (the dew had to be collected from a place that had not been exposed to sunlight or human contact for seven whole days), and a pupa of a ghost-faced hawk moth.
Two days later, when the moon was full, Jiang Yue went into the Forbidden Forest, took out the leaf, filled a small crystal medicine bottle with saliva, soaked the leaf in it, and let it receive the pure moonlight.
Then, Jiang Yue added a hair and dew to the crystal vial illuminated by the moonlight, and finally put the pupa of the ghost-faced hawk moth into it. After placing the mixture in a quiet, dark place, Jiang Yue set up an array to prevent others from disturbing it.
At this point, the potion to transform into Animagus is basically complete. Under normal circumstances, as long as you don't look at it or disturb it before the next thunderstorm, the potion will be finished.
During this time, Jiang Yue couldn't be idle either. While waiting for the storm to arrive, she had to point the tip of her wand at each sunrise and sunset and chant the spell: "Amato Animo Animato Animagus".
By continuously reciting the spell at sunrise and sunset, you will encounter a moment when the tip of your wand touches your chest and you will feel a second heartbeat. Sometimes it will be stronger than the original heartbeat, and sometimes it will be weaker. Everything must be done as usual without any changes. The spell must be recited the correct number of times, and you must not miss any of them.
The storm came later than expected, not until early June. Just as lightning ripped across the sky, Jiang Yue left Hogwarts, Apparated to the place where the crystal vial was buried, entered the array, and took out the vial. Inside was a mouthful of blood-red potion.
He then pointed the tip of his wand at his heart and chanted the spell: "Amador, Animo, Animado, Animagus." He then drank the potion.
Jiang Yue felt intense pain and two rapid heartbeats, and the image of a creature appeared in her mind.
"What the heck? Shouldn't it be an Ibizar Hound? Why is it an owl? Or maybe a round-faced, chubby Scottish chicken?"
Now that things have come to this, Jiang Yue can only be resolute. Round-faced and chubby chicken it is, there's no going back now. Jiang Yue muttered to herself, "Stay calm, adapt to it, accept it!"
The two intense heartbeats gradually subsided and merged into one. The pain also gradually disappeared. Jiang Yue opened her eyes and involuntarily tried to move her body, but ended up tripping and falling. Then, Jiang Yue took out a mirror from her space. The image in front of her was: small—only about 20 centimeters long, round and chubby—with fluffy feathers, even her legs had a lot of feathers, and she looked like she had no neck at all, and she also had a pair of bright yellow eyes. She was simply naturally cute!
Jiang Yue was still wondering what kind of animal it was when Bai Ze spoke in her mind: "It's a Palm Owl, Master, so cute!" After it finished speaking, Jiang Yue vaguely heard the sound of a camera taking pictures. Jiang Yue shouted in her mind: "Delete it! Did you hear me?!" However, Bai Ze did not speak, pretending not to hear.
Jiang Yue looked at herself in the mirror and thought she was indeed kind of cute. Although she was different from her guardian spirit, she was still pretty. Jiang Yue tried calling out, "Too-too~", and thought it sounded pretty good. It was also quite penetrating. Jiang Yue liked it more and more as she looked at herself. However, after suddenly transforming into a bird, she was not very good at walking, let alone flying. With Bai Ze's help, she practiced for seven or eight hours and finally learned to walk and fly just before dawn.
As Jiang Yue flew to Hogwarts, she exclaimed that flying on a sword and transforming into an animal were two completely different experiences, each with its own advantages. When she arrived at Hogwarts Castle, the view from the owl's perspective was even more magnificent. She flew to the rooftop balcony of the Ravenclaw common room, checked that no one was around, transformed into human form, stretched, and then entered the common room.
Unexpectedly, people were already studying at this hour. When Jiang Yue went in, the person greeted her, and Jiang Yue nodded back. After returning to her dormitory, she went to sleep. Today was Friday, and there was only one class in the morning, Magic Theory. She had originally thought that she could take a day off and sleep, but then she thought better of it. It would be too much trouble to ask Professor Flitwick for a leave slip. Now she could sleep for five or six hours, which would be enough.
Jiang Yue drew the curtains and cast a silencing spell. She left a note outside saying she was going to sleep until class and asked her roommates not to wake her. When Bai Ze woke her up, it was already 10:30 a.m., and class was at 11:15 a.m., so she had 45 minutes to go. When Jiang Yue got up, she found that another roommate was also in the dormitory. Seeing that Jiang Yue was awake, her roommate Eileen came over with a gossipy look and asked Jiang Yue, "Did you go for a night out last night?"
"Yes, I went to the observatory and looked at the stars all night."
Jiang Yue pinched her roommate's cheek to appease her, but Eileen pouted and said, "Fine, don't say it then, why are you pinching my cheek!" Jiang Yue washed up and went out with Eileen. They found another roommate in the lounge, and the three of them set off for the classroom together.
