My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 180, Section 177: Betrayal

The reason Lynn avoids people to practice every day is that when the modified Animagus transforms, it is unable to maintain its current Disguised Animagus state.

In other words, when Lynn uses the modified Animagus, he will revert to his original form.

The initial idea for improving Animagus, as described in the notes, was to transform the originally integrated Animagus into a limb-by-limb transformation.

Simply put, it means changing from changing the whole body at once to changing each body part one by one.

After achieving the desired limb transformation effect, the transformation is forcibly stopped, resulting in a body that is mostly humanoid with a small portion transformed into an animal form. This allows the user to use wands and spells, while also granting the body a hybrid state that enhances its animalistic advantages.

Before the experimental wizards discovered that disguising themselves as Magus was also a necessary condition, all their failures stemmed from the fact that once the wizards transformed into a half-human, half-animal form, they could not revert back to their original form.

Because their form is not that of a true Animagus, the magic has not remembered this form, causing the deformation to become fixed and unable to revert to a human form.

This leads to the transformation of the beast's consciousness into slowly eroding human consciousness, eventually turning them into monsters.

Animagus, on the other hand, has greater plasticity and flexibility in its body, which makes its half-human, half-animal form impossible to permanently fix. It can be stopped by disguise, which is why you must know how to transform into Animagus to learn how to improve Animagus.

Lynn's current difficulty in practicing is that although he has mastered the techniques of gradually transforming into Animagus, he cannot change the deformation of the corresponding limbs after transforming into a raven.

Normally, when a human transforms into a crow, the wings should correspond to the arms, but Lynn still needs to use his hands to cast spells. Besides, using his arms to fly is really low-class.

The first wizard to successfully learn how to modify Animagus set a good example for Lynn.

His Animagus form is a pigeon, just like Lynn, a bird that can fly. To avoid this, he changed the limbs that transformed into wings, replacing his arms with his ribs.

The wings emerge from behind and eventually adapt to the size of the human body.

It is said that this wizard even tried to go to the church to fool the bishops into believing that an angel had truly descended, but unfortunately, because he was too ugly, he ultimately failed to fool them...

Lynn could do the same, changing the parts of his limbs to achieve the same goal as him, having both wings and arms.

However, changing the order of transformations requires an extremely thorough understanding of Animagus. Lynn has only been learning it for less than half a year, and he still needs to practice more to reach that level.

This kind of practice won't take long, after all, what normal Animagus wizard would want to do such a thing?

Like Professor McGonagall, would she have nothing better to do than turn her ears into cat ears?

But once you have this idea, it's not too difficult to practice more.

Lynn practiced alone in the backyard all morning, but Ruslan still hadn't returned.

Just as he stretched and was about to go back inside to tell Yelena it was time to make lunch, he saw a strange scene through the backyard window.

That was Anrina's room. The little girl seemed to be lying on the bed reading a storybook and was too lazy to move. She reached out a hand to the apple on the desk, and the apple flew into her hand by itself.

Holding the apple, she cautiously looked around before taking a bite, making sure no one was around before finally taking a satisfied bite.

Lynn watched this scene silently, and went into the house without saying a word.

"What are we having for lunch?" Lynn asked, watching Yelena busy in the kitchen.

"Steak, while you're at it, check if Ruslan is back yet."

Just as Lynn was about to say no, the sound of a car engine came from outside. He shrugged: "Looks like they're back."

After the car was parked, Ruslan came in from outside. He took off his coat and hat and put them on the hanger, then spoke to Yelena and Lynn.

"Everything went smoothly. I've already given the developed photos to my friend, and I should be able to pick up the documents tomorrow."

"Thank you for your hard work." Yelena came out of the kitchen carrying two plates of freshly made steaks, and Lynn helped carry out the remaining two plates as well.

Ruslan pulled up a chair and sat down: "Don't be so polite with me. It's been a long time since I've tasted your cooking. I hope it hasn't gotten worse."

"Whether it tastes good or not, this is all we have."

Yelena helped wrap a napkin around Anrina's neck. By then, Ruslan had already tasted a piece of beef and was praising it as he chewed.

"Great, your skills have actually improved. I wonder which man will be lucky enough to benefit from this."

"I don't have time to think about that."

"You're not young anymore, it's time to start thinking about it."

"Did you just go deliver photos to your friend?"

"No, I reported Yelena to the committee that she was with me."

"?!"

Yelena stopped putting steak into her mouth and stared in astonishment at Ruslan, whose eyes had become vacant when Lynn asked her a question.

"Ruslan, what did you say?!"

Ruslan repeated it again as if he had lost his soul.

"I've reported you."

Yelena looked at Lynn with an incredulous expression.

Lynn held up three fingers to him expressionlessly.

"Truth serum, just three drops, and it will make someone speak their mind without reservation."

Yelena's face turned deathly pale, her lips trembled, and her voice seemed to have become dry.

"How did you know?"

"I don't know. I just found out he was lying to me, so I had a suspicion. It wouldn't be a waste to use three drops of truth serum to confirm that suspicion."

The dining table was instantly filled with countless birds.

Anrina, holding her fork, looked at Ruslan, then at them, and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with Daddy?"

Lynn quickly devoured the steak on his plate and then got up to greet Anrina.

"Annina, you can have lunch later. Let your dad and Aunt Yelena chat alone for a while. How about your uncle teaches you some magic?"

Anrina was tricked out of the living room by Lynn, leaving them a private space for questioning.

"I suggest you hurry, we don't have much time. We don't know when he reported it, and we don't know when the Aurors from the State of Su will arrive."

Before leaving, Lynn gave Yelena some instructions, and Yelena nodded stiffly.

"I see."
