A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 228 Steller's Sea Eagle (Third update, bonus chapter for "Hellcat" author)

Lightning flashed and thunder roared across the sky, the streaks of lightning seeming to burst open a hole in the clouds, and large raindrops crashed down!

William pointed his wand at the ground, and a small crystal vial emerged from the earth.

The solution, which was originally sky blue, has now turned into a blood-red potion.

William looked at Hermione, and the girl nodded nervously.

William raised his wand, the tip pointing to his heart, and chanted, "Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagus."

He opened the cork bottle and drank the potion in one gulp.

The liquid was icy cold, burning in my mouth, and quickly spread from my throat to my stomach.

It's like downing a whole bottle of 86 Niulanshan Erguotou in one gulp!

William could feel his heart pounding, and there were two hearts!

However, due to the different frequency of the vibrations, William's eardrums vibrated violently, and his brain experienced a rapid surge of blood flow.

Finally, his heartbeats synchronized, and in his mind, the image of the transforming animal appeared.

Fortunately, it wasn't a magical creature, otherwise it would have meant his Animagus attempt had failed.

Animagus cannot be transformed into magical creatures, a problem that has plagued the magical world for millennia.

William exhaled, closed his eyes tightly, and focused intently on the transformation.

He could clearly feel his arm undergoing a slow change.

The muscles, organs, and structures in the body are also changing, although the process is very slow.

Even the clothes William wore gradually became one with his body.

Professor McGonagall's words echoed in William's mind: "Increase your magic slowly. During this process, do not be nervous. You need time to adapt to the changes in your body."

I don't know how much time passed, but the arm completely disappeared, as if it had been cut off.

William's wand fell to the ground, and Hermione hurriedly picked it up, looking at William with a nervous expression.

In her sight, the boy's hand was gone, replaced by something that looked like chicken wings.

"Is it a bird?" Hermione guessed.

Could it be an owl?

William had no time to pay attention to Hermione; he was still struggling with his transformation, and the whole process was as slow as a difficult childbirth.

Although William had never had children, he felt the difference shouldn't be too great.

After an unknown amount of time, his right foot slowly disappeared, turning into the claw of a raptor.

The claws gleamed with a cold light, as sharp as steel, and with just a slight grip, they crushed the stones on the ground to dust.

Louie glanced at the pink paw pads of his paws, howled three times, and hid far away.

William looks terrible now, like a bald Fox after being reborn from the ashes.

Slowly, the feathers spread from his neck to both sides.

He transformed into a monster with a human head and a bird's body.

Finally, his head also changed, growing a slightly curved orange-yellow beak, but the irises of his eyes remained unchanged, retaining the dark green characteristic of William's human form!

Animals that Animagus transform into will retain, to varying degrees, their human characteristics.

William's plumage is mostly blackish-brown with greyish-brown longitudinal stripes. The forehead, shoulders, rump, upper and lower tail coverts, leg coverts, and tail feathers are white.

Its head has dark brown feathers with grayish-brown longitudinal stripes, resembling tiger stripes.

—Steller's sea eagle!

Moreover, this eagle is much larger than the average eagle, standing at a full 1.4 meters tall, making it a true behemoth.

William, who had transformed into a sea eagle, seemed to have lost his mind. The next moment, he rushed out and crashed heavily onto the ground in the valley.

Like a comet hitting the ground.

The earth cracked open, revealing a large pit filled with fissures.

Louie let out a wail as the iron bowl, the size of a washbasin, was crushed into a sheet of metal by the domineering eagle!

That's what it uses for eating!

In an instant, the eagle crashed down again, and the exquisite doghouse Hagrid had built for Rue was reduced to ruins.

Lou Williams roared angrily, but he didn't dare to charge forward.

Dust flying everywhere

The dust has settled.

Hermione was already in front of the eagle. She straightened her back as much as possible, clenched her hands tightly, and hugged the eagle's head, which was almost as tall as her.

"William, wake up!" Hermione called out.

William's consciousness wandered in the darkness. He felt a splitting headache and his body wanted to keep bumping into something to relieve the headache.

This is one of the situations when using Animagus. After all, humans and beasts are different, and they will be confused the first time.

Animalistic instincts and human reason,

They collided with each other.

If they cannot regain their sanity, they will forget who they are and become animals forever.

Therefore, Animagus is the dangerous magic.

Then he heard a crying voice; it was Hermione's voice.

At that moment, William closed his eyes, his face contorted in pain.

Finally, I remembered who I was and what I was doing.

At this moment, Lou Williams retreated again, desperately protecting his little hut where he kept his snacks, to prevent the eagle from continuing its rampage.

But the volatile eagle suddenly became docile and crouched down.

The eagle spoke in William's voice, saying softly, "Sorry, it's alright, Hermione."

Hermione looked up in surprise, smiled brightly, revealing two dimples.

"Come on, the sun is about to rise. I'll take you to see the sunrise." William slowly squatted down, his wings spread out on the ground.

Hermione climbed up the eagle's huge body along its wings.

William stood up and then fully spread his wings, which were four or five meters long.

"Hold on tight, use magic to stop the rain," William instructed.

Hermione nodded and quickly cast a "waterproof and moisture-proof" spell on herself.

She then took out a fleece-lined raincoat from the ring, covered herself with it to keep out the wind, and then nestled her head affectionately into the warm feathers.

Almost simultaneously, William flapped his wings, and Louis felt a strong wind hit his face, causing him to retreat again.

The wind rose and the clouds surged, dust rose into the air.

William spread his wings and flew over the Forbidden Forest toward Hogwarts.

He landed on the spire of Hogwarts, from which he could see the entire Hogwarts complex.

Boo!

Fox flew out of the principal's office window and hovered around William, curiously observing the uninvited guest.

It quickly recognized William.

William took flight again, soaring through the thick clouds. For a moment, amidst the flashes of lightning and thunder, not a single bolt of lightning struck him.

But Fox wasn't so lucky. It had only flown a few hundred meters when it was struck by a bolt of purple lightning, let out a scream, and fell from the sky.

William sighed. Hadn't Dumbledore told it?

It's generally best to avoid being around people who have taken Felix Felicis, especially on rainy days.

Because the other party is too lucky, if lightning strikes, they will definitely be the unlucky one to be struck by lightning!

William continued flying, and he finally broke through the thick rain clouds. The sea of ​​clouds was like a piece of satin that had been pierced by an awl, leaving a slightly tilted opening.

Hermione looked up at the sky.

In the distance, a sea of ​​golden clouds stretched out before us, and the morning glow fell like feathers, a breathtaking sight.

She clung tightly to William's neck, gazing at the dazzling sky with a dreamy look in her eyes.
