Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

But Ryan refused sternly: "First of all, I'm not a professor, I'm just the club's director - the professors are the ones who are truly responsible for managing the club."

"I'm just an ordinary little wizard. I don't have that kind of authority."

This was of course false - the professors actually gave Ryan enormous authority over the Pavatu Club.

But Ryan naturally would not choose to use this authority to let Harry and Ron enter the club...that would harm them!

"professor..."

Speaking of this, Harry's expression became strange again.

"You said the club includes ancient potions, then Snape..."

He said with difficulty.

Ryan glanced at him and nodded: "Professor Snape will of course become a member of the club."

He did not hide this fact.

Then, Harry's expression became one of struggle.

Seeing this, Ryan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Because Harry's expression at this moment was almost identical to Snape's constipated expression when he went to the Potions Office a few weeks ago.

"You told him everything...my...about his mother...I mean...you told him everything?"

Ryan still remembered that the Potions Professor, who was always sharp-tongued and venomous, couldn't even speak clearly.

After Ryan nodded to confirm his statement, Snape's expression became as colorful as a chameleon.

So much so that even when Ryan took out the Dementor and handed it to him, the professor's surprise didn't seem strong enough.

It was not until Lion mentioned his suspicions about the Dementors that Snape's soul seemed to gradually return to his body.

"Dementors were once human spirits... incredible speculation."

Snape also showed obvious disbelief at Ryan's speculation about the origin of Dementors.

But then, he began to look forward to it.

"It just so happens that... those two idiots—I mean, the two souls who volunteered to participate in the soul experiment are almost unable to continue the experiment. Finding two more idiots like them is not difficult, but it will take a lot of time."

"If Dementors are really as you say, and can serve as a superior substitute for experiments - I will research it thoroughly."

And since then, it is said that the air around the Potions Office has become increasingly cold.

Just as Ryan was recalling this, he heard Harry's voice again.

"I will study hard."

At this moment, the little wizard seemed to have ended his struggle.

His eyes - those beautiful green eyes like Lily Potter's - held the same determination.

"I'll join your club next semester, Ryan."

He said seriously.

"Me too!"

Seeing this, Ron clenched his fists and said, "Harry, we'll go find Hermione and ask her to give us a review plan!"

"Ok!"

Then you might be in big trouble. Hermione's review plan is not something that a normal person can accept.

Ryan muttered in his heart.

The little witch's recent internal conflicts were so intense that even he, who was used to being taught by the Big Four, found it exaggerated.

"Okay, I have to go."

But he naturally had no intention of stopping Harry and Ron.

"Speaking of which—aren't you going to review?"

But at this moment, Ron asked curiously.

"..."

Harry, who was standing by, rolled his eyes at Ron after hearing this.

Ryan Elias needs a refresher?

How dare you ask such a question!

"Oh, I'll be reviewing in a bit - I need to go talk to Professor McGonagall about some Transfiguration stuff now... Do you want to join me?"

"No, brother, see you later!"*2

Then, Harry and Ron's figures quickly disappeared in front of Ryan.

Professor McGonagall's reputation is still quite intimidating among young wizards - especially for students like Harry and Ron who are basically destined to be at the bottom of their class.

And Ryan naturally did not lie.

He did indeed make it quickly to the Transfiguration office after saying goodbye to Harry and Ron.

The office door was not locked, so Ryan knocked and gently pushed it open.

Then...

He saw a tabby cat sitting on the desk in the middle of the exquisitely decorated office.

It was lying on the table, the sun shining through and onto its fur - it was basking lazily.

And at this moment, it seemed that it noticed Ryan's arrival.

The tabby cat stood up, jumped up in a panic, and turned back into Professor McGonagall when he landed on the chair.

"..."

So, Ryan's mind was in a mess at this moment.

He suddenly remembered the suggestion Seamus had given him earlier - he had suggested installing a cat climbing frame in Ryan's dormitory so that Friday could jump up and down more easily.

And now...

"Perhaps I should get Professor McGonagall a cat tree too - she looks like she would like it."

Ryan was lost in thought.

Chapter 140 Professor McGonagall's Theory! Blood Circuits and Visitors from Outside the School!

In the end, Ryan certainly didn't dare to tell Professor McGonagall about the cat climbing frame - after all, if Professor McGonagall got furious, no one in the entire castle would be able to protect him.

"professor."

So he just nodded calmly and greeted Professor McGonagall as if nothing had happened.

"Ryan, why are you here?"

Professor McGonagall cleared her throat. "If it's about the thesis—I remember Filius should have told you about it?"

"Yes, Professor."

Ryan nodded: "I'm not here for the thesis - but to ask you some questions about Transfiguration..."

He stated the purpose of his visit.

"Transfiguration?"

Professor McGonagall, on the other hand, showed an expression of surprise at this moment.

"you?"

Of course she was surprised.

It was normal for a young wizard to come to her to ask for advice on transfiguration, but it would be different if the young wizard was 'Lian Elias'.

Because of the teaching during this school year and the discussions of the Transformation Club.

Professor McGonagall had already determined that Ryan's Transfiguration skills were as advanced as his magical powers - although he could not be called a master, he was also a very good Transfiguration user.

Not to mention the first year of Transfiguration, even in the entire seven years of Transfiguration, Professor McGonagall didn't think anything could stop Ryan.

"It's about the Animagus issue... I've been very interested in it lately."

Ryan said this without mentioning Rita Skeeter.

"Oh, Animagus—no wonder...it's really profound..."

Professor McGonagall then nodded in understanding, and then her expression became serious.

She waved the wand in her hand casually, and the office door closed naturally.

This gave Ryan the illusion of being trapped in front of a lion's den.

"Of course I will tell you everything I know, Ryan - but before I do, I must warn you."

"Your attainments in Transfiguration are profound, and you are indeed qualified to practice Animagus... but it is indeed a very dangerous spell. I need you to promise not to practice it in private."

Her words were as serious and responsible as ever.

She recognized Ryan's Transfiguration skills, so she would no longer refuse to teach Ryan about Animagus.

But at the same time, she also needed to ensure that the talented young wizard in front of her would not go astray.

"of course."

Ryan nodded as a matter of course.

Professor McGonagall was finally satisfied and said, "Then ask."

"First, Professor - I'd like to know how to confirm that the animals around me are Animagus..."

"I guess directly exploring the soul might be an effective method, but are there any other means besides this?"

Ryan got straight to the point.

That's right.

After the incident with Rita Skeeter, Ryan once again became aware of the power of the Animagus spell.

This spell is extremely effective in eavesdropping, infiltration, and sneak attacks, and is extremely difficult to defend against.
