Chapter 207 Professor McGonagall’s “Sponsorship”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspProfessor McGonagall is rarely like this. She has always been very direct, as direct as her impartiality. This was something Bruce feared her for, but her behavior today was different from usual.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce was very worried. He began to think that Professor McGonagall was taking him to the principal's office and then expelling him.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHowever, this idea was rejected after leaving the library, because the direction they went was not leading to the principal's office at all, but to Professor McGonagall's own office.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce felt that things were not as bad as he thought.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAfter arriving at the office, Bruce stood at the desk and waited for Professor McGonagall's "lecturing"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Bruce, I don't think you need me to repeat the school rules to you again," Professor McGonagall looked at him seriously and said.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said hurriedly: "Of course not, but Professor McGonagall, I know I was wrong, please don't fire me."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Humph" Professor McGonagall said sternly: "Invisibility cloak, oil lamp, shorthand quill, all prepared. It seems that this is not the first time. Bar"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce touched his nose in embarrassment, and after much hesitation he decided to tell the truth: "The first grade went in once because of the Sorcerer's Stone, and the second grade also went in because of the secret room. Once”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Oh my god" Professor McGonagall said in disbelief: "This is simply unbelievable that my students have entered the zone three times, you know Bruce, I'm going to I can fire you."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce was a little panicked and said hurriedly: "I was wrong. Professor McGonagall, I can accept whatever punishment you want, but please don't expel me." .”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "You know Bruce, you disappoint me very much." Professor McGonagall said angrily: "Your grades and your talent in magic both disappoint me. I think highly of you and I think you will become a student that I am proud of, but your repeated violations have shown me a bad student who is impulsive and ignores school rules."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce was a frequent visitor to the office "before", so he has a lot of experience. After being caught, any explanation is redundant. The only solution is attitude. Sincerely repent. Then all you need to do is wait quietly for the verdict.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspProfessor McGonagall stopped talking. Bruce just waited quietly for a minute or so, and finally the "sentence" came.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"For your infraction I have to deduct 20 points from Gryffindor, for which you will be responsible for the trophy room for the rest of the year. cleaning job."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said "apologising": "I accept this punishment, and I really regret letting you down, Professor"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHe did feel that he could not take Professor McGonagall seriously, but he did not regret it. On the contrary, he was a little happy. Although he was deducted 20 points, at least he would not be fired, and Bruce was absolutely confident that he could earn back these 20 points. It's just that in this situation, the happy expression cannot be expressed on the face.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspProfessor McGonagall nodded, sighed, took out a notebook from the drawer, put it on the table, and said: "This is my chance to become a Hogwarts student." This is the second time since I became a professor that I have indulged my own students."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you, Professor."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspProfessor McGonagall handed the notebook to Bruce and said, "Take it."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce took the notebook and asked: "Professor, this is"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspProfessor McGonagall said: "These are the notes I took when I was studying Animagus when I was young."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce looked at her with joy and emotion, and said, "Professor, I thank you."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspProfessor McGonagall nodded and said: "The Animagus process is very difficult, so you need to be extremely careful. If there is anything you don't understand, you can Come and ask me. In addition, I want you to agree to two conditions."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce immediately said: "Of course there is no problem."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"First, the Animagus method must not be used by anyone else. I know that you and Harry have a very good relationship, but you must not use it to Leave this to them," Professor McGonagall said.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said in surprise: "Why, Professor, I don't like to hide my friends unless necessary."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspProfessor McGonagall said: "This is very necessary. The key to Animagus is magic. You have to know Bruce, not everyone is like You are just as different. Otherwise, you are not hiding it, but you are harming your friends."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce nodded and said, "Okay, I know how to do it."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Second, you must tell me when you transform into an Animagus for the first time, and you must be by my side before you can transform." Mai Professor Ge said.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "No problem." Bruce said happily.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspProfessor McGonagall nodded and said sternly: "Go back, but remember if there is a next time."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "There will never be a next time, Professor, I don't want to be expelled." Bruce smiled.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce closed the office door and almost jumped up with excitement. Unexpectedly, this time it was a blessing in disguise that he got a "secret book" by accident. Professor McGonagall The notes are much more detailed than the content in the section.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Haha, it's great, it's so great." Bruce said excitedly from the corridor.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspIn the office, Professor McGonagall held a photo album and looked at it carefully under the light. It was a group photo. There were four people in the photo, one His face with eyes is somewhat similar to Harry's, and he is short and fat and looks ridiculous. Another one is Lupine in his youth. The last one is more or less shocking, because it is the same face as the one on the wanted poster. The only difference is that in the photo he is young and handsome, Sirius Black.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Alas" Professor McGonagall sighed and took off her glasses, sighing: "We are the same age, but my choice is still the same as that time. It's just that I hope Bruce and Harry won’t be like their fathers.”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce is temporarily ignorant of these things. He is now focused on the notes given to him by Professor McGonagall. He did not sleep after returning to the dormitory. I've been looking at that note.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAt this time, he finally understood why Professor McGonagall objected to him practicing Animagus at the beginning, and she must be present for the first transformation. The difficulty with Animagus is that the transformation requires the use of all the magic power of the transformer, and this is precisely what makes it dangerous and even fatal.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspps: I’m starting to make it up randomly.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspWhen the Animagus transforms, magic power will spread all over the body. The magical thing is that when the transformation is completed, the magic power will be restored again without even a trace of consumption. If a problem occurs during this period, it will be fatal, and the only solution is to have another wizard assist.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe assistant can use potions to replenish the magic power of the transformed person depending on the situation, or use magic spells to forcibly interrupt the transformation process. Even if the former transforms successfully, it will still be dangerous next time, while the latter has no choice. Once interrupted, all the magic power is consumed, and it will be easy if one of them turns into a squib.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspWhat is even more incredible is that Animagus is a magic spell that can "evolve". The magic power it requires will change according to the age of the user. To produce a change, simply put, if a teenage child transforms, the magic power required is equivalent to a glass of water. But a powerful wizard may need a bucket of water to transform. So in theory, it would be easier to use Animagus the younger you are, but younger people are not proficient in controlling magic.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThis is why Professor McGonagall finally agreed to Bruce's request, because few people at his age can skillfully control magic, and they have that " Bug"-like magic storage method.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspIt was already dawn when Bruce finished reading Professor McGonagall's notes, and he read them all. The further he goes, the more carefully he looks. He must understand those dangerous situations well enough and have 100 confidence to solve them.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspWhen Bruce closed the notebook, he wanted to try to transform now, but for safety reasons he decided to "think twice before doing so."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspTime passed slowly like this, and there was not much trouble in life at Hogwarts. This was probably because Bruce and the four of them had been in school for three years. After spending the longest period of peaceful days, although some people have seen Sirius Black near Hogwarts, at least so far, no trace of him has been found in the school. And the dementors that Harry had been worried about hadn't hurt anyone.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspProfessor Lupine's class has won everyone's love, but for some unknown reason he always disappears for a period of time every month. Then there's Ron. November is the Quidditch season, and all four teams have started training. Although Ron is a reserve team member, he also participates in training.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHis position is goalkeeper. Although this is not the position Ron expected, captain Angelina and "special assistant" former captain Wood are very enthusiastic about the current goalkeeper. Very dissatisfied with the performance. Gryffindor desperately needed a reliable goalkeeper, and Ron took over the mantle.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspJust the weekend before the competition season. It is the day that all the third-year students and above at Hogwarts have been waiting for, because this Saturday they will be able to go to the long-awaited Hogsmeade. Of course, Harry was not among these people. Although he was very eager to go to Hogsmeade, his guardian did not give him a signature.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspEarly in the morning, students gathered at the gate of the castle waiting for departure. Although Bruce, Hermione, and Ron were very excited, they still tried their best to behave Normally, they didn't want to "add fuel to Harry's fire."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Attention to all." Professor McGonagall told everyone in front of the castle to pay attention. Filch carefully checked the signatures of each student.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Everyone needs to remember that going to Hogward is a privilege, but if your actions bring the school into disrepute then I'm sorry, your Privileges will be revoked”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce, Hermione, and Ron all changed into ordinary clothes and waited to set off.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "I saw Harry coming over just now." Ron said to the two of them.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "Well, I saw it too. This is not surprising. In fact, he has been looking for professors to sign since the day before yesterday. The whole school except He searched all over Snape."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Look, Harry," said Hermione.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe three of them looked and Harry hurried to Professor McGonagall holding a piece of paper.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Those whose parents have not signed the consent form are not allowed to visit. Harry, I think there is no need for me to repeat it," said Professor McGonagall.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry said hurriedly: "Professor, as long as you sign for me, I can go."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspProfessor McGonagall said: "I can't sign, Harry. I'm not your guardian. So I'm sorry, Harry, I can't help you."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry nodded helplessly.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"To be continued.
