A certain Hogwarts magical cat

Chapter 73 Professor McGonagall's Magic Book
Office of the Vice-Chancellor,

Professor McGonagall put Charlie in his arms on the chair next to him, then waved his wand, and cast an unknown spell on Charlie, instantly conjuring a table of delicacies,
Of course, Charlie, who has already done some research on transfiguration, feels that it is not a spell related to transfiguration, but more like a sound transmission spell.

This table of delicacies should be served by Professor McGonagall instructing the house elves to quickly prepare and deliver them from the kitchen. After all, even Professor McGonagall cannot conjure edible food out of thin air.

Grilled Chicken, Beef, Lamb Chops.
Charlie looked around and found that they were all his favorite foods in the auditorium. He couldn't help being a little surprised.

"I heard you like to eat these, eat quickly!"

Professor McGonagall patted Charlie's head and said softly to Charlie.

After practicing for several hours in the afternoon, Charlie was indeed a little hungry, so he simply ignored other things, jumped onto the table, and ate big mouthfuls.

Seeing Charlie's delicious food, Professor McGonagall showed a kind smile like an old mother, so he didn't care about him for the time being.
On weekends, she assigned transfiguration-related homework to the little wizards of each grade, so she will be very busy from now to night because she needs to correct all these homework.

While eating dinner, Charlie glanced up at the row of bookshelves behind Professor McGonagall:
"Analysis of Gump's Basic Transfiguration Law", "How to Use the Transfiguration Charm to Make More Food", "Reverse Transfiguration", "Application of Transspecies Transformation", "Animagus of Advanced Transfiguration", "Things to Pay Attention to After Becoming a Cat".
As expected of a master of transfiguration, except for a few books that are basically irrelevant, almost all other books are magic books related to transfiguration, and most of them are basically invisible to Charlie in the school library.
Presumably, it should be a private collection collected by Professor McGonagall, or many of them are not suitable for students in school to study and study, such as the "Advanced Transformation: Animagus".

The transformation of Animagus has always been Charlie's hope of transforming from a cat body into a human. Unfortunately, he has searched all over the library, but he can't find a specific method for Animagus transformation in any magic book.

Of course, it's also possible that he hasn't found it yet. After all, there are still a lot of books in the entire Hogwarts library. In less than two months, he really can't find them all.

However, in the third-grade "Intermediate Transfiguration" textbook, there are some introductions about Animagus, but it only mentions that this advanced transfiguration is very dangerous.

If you don't have enough transfiguration foundation and talent, you may become obsessed, lose your human thinking, and completely turn into a real animal, which can't be relieved even with the reduction technique.

And even if the transformation is successful, it will take several years to get used to it before it can be used freely. It is not recommended for young wizards to try it before graduation.

It is also specifically noted that all wizards who have successfully learned the transformation of Animagus must register with the Ministry of Magic.
In addition to these introductions, the textbook did not write about the specific transformation method of Animagus, and it did not even mention whether specific spells and magic materials were required.

After dinner, Charlie wandered around the vice-principal's office while thinking about how to obtain the books related to Transfiguration on the shelf behind Professor McGonagall,
Let Alice borrow it?
It is unlikely that this is not a library. Professor McGonagall's private collection of books cannot be borrowed by anyone, not to mention that Alice is just a little wizard who just started in the first grade.
But in front of Professor McGonagall, he can't just go up and take down the book to read, right?
The little kitty is clever, so if he reads the book by himself, it is a bit outrageous. I am afraid that after Professor McGonagall saw it, his first reaction would be to throw a reduction spell at him to see if he is an Animagus.

Come to steal books at night?

Regardless of his magical ability, whether he can break the protective spell in the vice principal's office, once Professor McGonagall finds out that his magic book has been stolen, there will be a lot of trouble in the city.

It seems that we can only wait for the opportunity first!

Maybe he should practice the Untraceable Stretching Curse and Copying Curse well,

The traceless stretching spell can make items similar to space equipment. Of course, the premise is that you have to master some abilities to permanently fix the spell on the item and automatically restore the magic power.

Otherwise, once the magic power is exhausted, the space equipment will lose its due effect.

And you can't buy this kind of equipment outside, because the Ministry of Magic expressly prohibits the traceless stretching spell from being used for personal use, and can only be used for the production of individual items approved by the relevant Ministry of Magic (such as school luggage and family tents),

But those things are basically not of much use to Charlie, he can't just walk around with a suitcase and a tent.

As for the copying spell, it is a spell that can copy things, although the copied items have no value, and will disappear when the magic power is exhausted.

However, the copied replica can be consistent with the original item in appearance,
So, maybe someday, while Professor McGonagall is not paying attention, he can secretly use the copy spell to copy all the magic books on his bookshelf, and then put them into the space equipment and take them away.

at the same time,

When Charlie was wandering in Professor McGonagall's vice-principal's office, Alice and Harry, who didn't wait for Charlie, also left the auditorium together and went to the History of Magic classroom on the second floor.
"I hate the history of magic the most. Those characters, times and events are so hard to remember!"

Ron complained with a thick "History of Magic",

"Me too, I can't always tell the difference between Merek the Wicked and Ulric the Weird!"

Harry immediately nodded in agreement.
Obviously, boys have the same distress about this kind of dead knowledge that needs to be remembered.

Hermione didn't speak, but the glance of her eyes made Harry and Ron feel the contempt of self-taught masters, as if to say, "You can't remember such simple knowledge, scum!"

Under Alice's reminder, Hermione seldom provoked Harry and Ron verbally, but the contempt revealed in her eyes was no less,
Seeing Harry and Ron's defeated expressions under Hermione's eyes, Alice couldn't help giggling,

Sometimes noisy and bad friends can make people happier than polite friends.

And just as the four of them were talking and laughing upstairs, the stairs under their feet suddenly deflected, and the stairs that originally led to the second floor were suddenly connected with the stairs leading to the fourth floor.
Seeing Harry and the others who were still walking towards the fourth floor without realizing it, and Dumbledore who was hiding in the dark with invisibility, he put away his wand in satisfaction.
