Then, they turned to Jaina and the others.

"These are my good friends at Hogwarts, the core members of the Erudite Society, and, most importantly, the people I trust the most," Levin concluded.

But she was immediately met with Tonks's intrigued gaze, and Jaina also felt that their relationship with Levin was more than once.

Next, Levin introduced the identities of Jaina, Tonks, and Onyxia to the group, as well as their plans.

Soon, the topic shifted to the magical Animagus, and Levin ultimately chose his first Wild Form, Chimera, as his registered form.

On one hand, the chimera form is a combination of a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake.

These four animals are the four symbolic animals of Hogwarts, so the chimera composed of them has considerable symbolic significance.

On the other hand, Levin's Chimera transformation has the ability to adjust the chimera factor, not only transforming into four individual animals, but also transforming into magical beasts such as griffins and avian snakes through appropriate combinations, making it quite versatile.

In short, through this gathering, the members of the Genius Club officially got to know each other.

At dawn the next day, Jaina went to Hogwarts in person to ask Professor Flitwick, the Headmaster of the House of Levin, for leave. Then, she went with Tonks and Levin to the Ministry of Magic to get tested and registered as an Animagus.

With Jaina around, Levin encountered no difficulties with the procedures; he received a smooth ride almost immediately and completed the process in just fifteen minutes.

Then, Levin followed Jaina to the second floor of the Ministry of Magic, to the office prohibiting the misuse of magic.

The office staff were quite surprised that someone came to register for Animagus.

After all, only seven Animagus individuals have been officially registered in the past century.

It turns out that more than half of these employees had never seen the Animagus registration.

Tonks handed them a stack of parchment, and immediately a gasp of surprise rippled through the room.

"You have successfully become an Animagus, and in the form of a magical creature—a Chimera?" a square-faced, gray-haired witch asked Levin in a slightly deep voice.

If the boy in front of her hadn't personally delivered the registration documents, she would almost have wanted to throw the materials in her hands to the ground.

After all, Jaina's power is currently at its zenith in the Department of Law Enforcement and even the entire Ministry of Magic.

The Office for Prohibiting the Abuse of Magic is a subordinate department of the Department of Law Enforcement.

In a way, Jaina was their boss.

However, registering for Animagus was a very serious matter, and she didn't have the time or inclination to play childish games with little kids.

Levin noticed her confusion and wisely refrained from offering further explanation, simply nodding in agreement.

But clearly, the other party wanted to confirm it again.

Her expression was very serious, and she stared intently into Levin's eyes.

"You can fully transform into an Animagus?"

“Yes,” Levin nodded.

“A chimera?” Her voice was even lower.

Levin nodded again.

"Does your Animagus possess the magic of a Chimera? I mean, is it more than just having the appearance of a Chimera?"

“Yes,” Levin nodded, then added, “If you’ve ever looked into academic research on magical creatures, you’ll know that what keeps a chimera stable is the magic within its body. Without magic, a chimera can’t even maintain its body. Therefore, it’s impossible for me to simply have the appearance of a chimera.”

"Is there really such a study?" The gray-haired witch looked around blankly.

But her subordinates weren't as learned as one might imagine; only one middle-aged male wizard raised his hand.

star."

The wizard's tone was full of adoration.

“In fact, I am the author of that paper.” Levin smiled slightly at him.

The wizard was startled at first, then immediately stepped forward with a notebook and asked Levin for his autograph.

The Animagus registration, which should have been a proper event, turned into a fan meeting.

But this harmonious scene was immediately interrupted:

“Then I think you need to become an Animagus now to prove you’re not lying.” Her tone sounded arrogant.

Chapter 253 Making Things Difficult

The witch's attitude greatly surprised Levin.

If the other party's initial reaction could be explained strictly,

If Levin fails to notice the opponent's targeting this time, then all 23 points of his raw intelligence will have been wasted.

He didn't reply, but glanced at Jaina.

You are the deputy director of the Law Enforcement Division, and the other party is your subordinate. Why would she dare to be so rude to you?

Gianna Proudmoore was naturally furious, and she immediately began searching her memory for information about Mafalda Hopkirk.

She quickly realized the problem, gave Levin a wry smile, and indicated that she couldn't worry about it for the time being.

Levin pursed his lips, determined to let his strength speak for itself.

And so, in full view of everyone, he transformed into a chimera with the features of a lion, eagle wings, badger fur, eagle claws, and a snake tail.

The chimera opened its blood-red maw, and its exhilarating roar echoed through the office, nearly shattering their eardrums. Its flapping wings scattered files all over Hopkirk's desk.

Then, the chimera disappeared and turned back into the handsome boy.

Hopkirk was clearly quite frightened by Levin. She glanced at Levin's file with lingering fear, then her eyes lit up as she continued, "Are you 14 years old now?"

“Yes.” Levin didn’t think age was a problem.

"Did you learn Animagus at school? Who taught you?"

“Yes, Professor Dumbledore, Professor Flitwick, Professor McGonagall… I have learned a great deal from each of them,” Levin replied calmly.

"What exactly are you suspecting, Mafalda Hopkirk? This isn't how a normal audit works, is it?" Jaina finally snapped, her face so dark it looked like it could drip water. "Or are you still taking your anger out on Barty Crouch, the old man, and Levin, who provided the evidence?"

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Ms. Hopkirk said, instinctively flustered by being hit where it hurt, then immediately straightened her face and avoided looking at Jaina.

"It's truly remarkable that he could transform into an Animagus at his age. However, what we need to verify is whether his Animagus is genuinely magical or merely a facade."

"So you don't remember any of the previous science explanations?" Although Jaina was sitting in an armchair, she held her head high, her chest prominent, exuding an imposing aura.

Hopkirk awkwardly turned his head, forcing an explanation:

"That paper is just a paper; there's no official document requiring it to be a standard rule of the Ministry of Magic, so I don't need to follow it."

That's blatant lying.

Regarding such academic and professional judgments, the Ministry of Magic has always adhered to the mainstream conclusions of the field.

There is absolutely no issue of not implementing something without approval from higher authorities.

But that was just an unwritten rule within the Ministry of Magic; there was no explicit regulation.

If Hopkirk insisted on making this argument, Jaina couldn't refute it.

Hopkirk grew increasingly confident and self-assured, feeling that she was speaking with righteous indignation. Since she had chosen to stand on Barty Crouch's side, she should seize this opportunity to demonstrate her abilities.

She knew very well that Levin Green in front of her had always been Jaina's man.

Now that the other party has crossed her line, it's a good opportunity for her to dampen the momentum of Jaina's forces.

For Jaina, her anger wasn't stemming from the test itself.

Because Levin's strength is undeniable, no matter how you test him, the result is obvious.

Her anger stemmed from Hopkirk's aggressive attitude, which was unprecedented in previous Animagus applications.

At least, that wasn't the case at all when Professor McGonagall registered.

Back then, registrants were hoping for more Animagus.

Jaina narrowed her eyes, her expression unfathomable.

Now is not the time for an attack.

Since this is the aftermath of a political struggle, then we must use the methods of political struggle.

She had already figured out how to deal with this guy.

Levin, however, showed no fear and successfully demonstrated his extraordinary resistance to magic and regenerative abilities to the Ministry of Magic employees.

No matter how much Hopkirk increased the difficulty of the test, it couldn't stump Levin.

During the breath test, Levin even exhaled a breath of fire, igniting the files on Hopkirk's desktop.

Finally, Hopkirk had no choice but to register Levin, acknowledging him as the eighth publicly registered Animagus in nearly a century.

More importantly, Levin is currently the only wizard in the world whose Animagus is a magical creature—a Chimera.

Jaina smiled and gave Levin a big hug, then walked straight out of the room without even glancing at Hopkirk.

Outside the room, Jaina explained to Levin, "This Hopkirk was someone Barty Crouch promoted, which is why he's targeting you like this. But her methods are so clumsy that it's probably all on her own initiative, but this is also our opportunity."

At this point, Jaina gently leaned close to Levin's ear and whispered some instructions to the boy.

"I'll have Tonks take you to the lounge to get something to eat first. There are scheduled interviews with reporters later, but during the interviews, you can..."

Jaina didn't finish her sentence, but Levin understood what she meant.

it is more than words.

After enjoying a hearty meal with Tonks in the lounge, Levin was greeted by an unprecedentedly large interview lineup.

The journalists' keen sense of smell and well-informed sources are truly astonishing.

Of all the media outlets, only a few familiar ones, such as The Daily Prophet and The Quibbler, were ones that Gianna had contacted.

Reporters from other newspapers and magazines rushed over after receiving the news.

Jaina couldn't very well turn them away.

"Levin Green, you were able to transform into an Animagus at the age of 14. Do you have some kind of secret?"

"You are the first magical Animagus in history. What are your thoughts on that?"

"I understand that you were also the first person to kill a Chimera. How did this affect your Animagus?"
