Hogwarts: Don't call me the Staff Maker

Chapter 24 Animagus

[Fir wood, wizard's hair, eleven inches and two-thirds]

[Status: Perfect]

[Trait: Polymorph +10 (50)%]

Disguise: Animagus Polymorph success rate +30%

Xilun's eyes lit up as he looked at the results of his hard work all night.

Ollivander's wand shop has thousands of wands, but the only one that can directly increase the success rate of Animagus is this one, and it's the only one.

His grandfather couldn't make one, and even his great-grandmother, who once used the mane of the Kelpie, never made a wand related to the Animagus.

I don't know if Siren existed before, but he definitely wasn't among the 377 wands left in the wand shop, otherwise Siren would definitely remember him.

After all, Animagus is the pinnacle of living shapeshifting, and his reputation is quite renowned. If Siren had seen him, he couldn't possibly forget him.

Adding a 30% success rate directly is unheard of.

This bonus is already quite significant, considering that most new wands only offer a positive bonus of around 5% to 10%.

Professor McGonagall has been famous for many years, and the "Transformers" trait, which is influenced by her own experience, is also only 30%.

Furthermore, Animagus is not an ordinary transfiguration magic.

There are approximately three thousand wizards in Britain, but only seven Animagus are registered with the Ministry of Magic. Even if you include those who are not registered, the number would definitely not exceed twenty.

Is directly enhancing the ultimate move what makes the Master of Polymorph so valuable?

Xilun liked it more and more as he looked at it, and with a casual wave of his hand, the quill pen on the table instantly turned into a glittering silver needle.

Xilun frowned.

How should I put it? It feels a bit awkward to use, which is something I've never experienced before.

However, this is probably the downside of using a wizard's hair as the core of a wand.

Xilun looked at another characteristic.

Polymorph +10 (50)%

It was the first time I'd seen this, but it wasn't hard to understand.

When others, including the creator, use it, it's the basic 10%, but when it's Professor McGonagall, it's 50%.

In other words, this wand can only reach its full potential in Professor McGonagall's hands.

...After all, it's her hair.

After a moment's hesitation, Siron decided to keep the wand for a while and not give it to Professor McGonagall for the time being.

After all, the properties related to the magic of "Animagus" are extremely rare, and he doesn't know if he will ever see a second one.

Although he is only a first-year student and his knowledge of Transfiguration is not yet complete, even with the boost, he could not possibly learn Animagus, but he can learn it.

As a wand maker who is not good at fighting and has no strength to even kill a chicken, Animagus magic, which can save his life, is quite important. It would be best to learn it before Voldemort is resurrected.

Previously, Xilun wasn't very confident, after all, he was the ceiling for living shapeshifters, but now that he had this wand, things were much simpler.

If you pay more attention to Transfiguration, it's actually quite possible to learn this spell before Voldemort's resurrection, or even this year...

Ah, I'm overthinking it.

Xilun patted his face, trying to wake himself from his sweet dream.

Animagus isn't something you can just do by chanting a spell; the basic application of transfiguration is an essential prerequisite.

This is similar to the idea that to win the Quidditch World Championship, you need to at least know the rules and learn to ride a broomstick.

These are things that can't be learned in first grade.

Not to mention that Siren has other things to do and can't devote all his attention to Transfiguration.

As for Professor McGonagall... he just happens to have one hair left, so he can just get another one done.

Anyway, she is already proficient in Animagus and doesn't need the help of a wand.

Having made his decision, Xilun stood up, rubbed his forehead to clear his head, and then left the dormitory.

The common lounge was quite lively.

Fred and George were, as always, promoting their prank products and a wide variety of quick-fix truancy candies.

Young wizards like Siren, who looked sleepy and clearly hadn't had enough rest, were their primary targets.

"Come on, try this, front tooth pop candy." Fred brought over a box containing a dozen or so brown toffee candies.

"It works in a second, and it's guaranteed to get you out of that boring classroom anytime."

"Back to the dorm."

"Get a good night's sleep."

"Or go wherever you want to go."

The two of them took turns promoting their products.

"Thank you, but no need," Siren shook his head in refusal. "Our first lesson is on the history of magic."

"Fine, then you really don't need it." Fred reluctantly put away the candy.

Professor Binns, who taught the history of magic, was a ghost. He taught at Hogwarts for many years, but eventually fell asleep in front of the fireplace in the faculty lounge. The next day, he forgot to bring his body to class and died.

However, he did not stop teaching and became Hogwarts' only ghost professor, continuing to teach students the history of magic.

It has to be said, the Hogwarts board of trustees are truly inhuman; they even exploit ghosts.

No need for rest, no need for food, no need for salary... If Hogwarts had a professor ranking, Professor Binns would definitely be number one forever.

However, due to the limitations of the ghost itself, the professor's course quality was not very good. After losing his body and brain, his courses were nothing more than rote recitation, and he never cared about what was happening in the classroom.

Students can sleep, chat, or play Wizard Chess, as long as they don't make too much noise. They can do whatever they want.

Therefore, the history of magic is also the subject with the lowest truancy rate.

With such a high degree of freedom in class, there's really no need to skip class; it would be a huge waste if you got caught by other professors.

For someone like Siron who's looking to catch up on sleep, the History of Magic is the best choice.

"I'd like to have breakfast in the auditorium, is it still possible?" Siren asked casually.

"If you're not afraid of being late, you'll make it," Fred said. "By the way, you missed the most exciting part this morning because you didn't go to the auditorium."

"What?" Xilun glanced at the time.

There are still ten minutes until class starts. Going to eat breakfast now will definitely make him late, unless he can guarantee that every staircase is in the correct position.

But that's unlikely; those staircases seem to target freshmen.

"Nimbus 2000!" George said excitedly. "Can you believe it? Someone sent Harry Potter a brand new broomstick."

"And Wood told us he would be Gryffindor's new Seeker."

Professor McGonagall said he was the most talented Seeker.

"This is Gryffindor's best chance yet, we are sure to win the Quidditch Cup."

Seeing the twins suddenly become so enthusiastic, Xilun silently took a step back and decided to go to the classroom first.

I really don't understand these ball players. What's so exciting about riding a log? That thing would be more interesting if it had a core. They should also change the rules so that you can use magic in the air.
