“I should have thought of it. Dumbledore did not allow this woman to enter Hogwarts, but she could still be in the school, eavesdropping on so many news, only…” said Hermione, her voice trembling slightly, and she looked up at Evan.

“Only what?!” Harry asked, not yet figuring out what was going on.

“Harry, Rita Skeeter is an Animagus, she can turn into a beetle,” said Hermione, her breathing getting faster. “She must be illegal; there have been only seven registered Animagi in the 20th century!”

“You’re kidding!” Harry couldn’t believe it, staring at the glass jar on the table.

“Hermione is right, she’s an illegal Animagus,” said Evan, shaking the glass jar hard, “Rita Skeeter has been flying around from beginning of the year, looking for materials to make a big fuss, relying on not be seen by others.” fre(e)novelkiss.com

As Evan shook the glass jar, the beetle inside it swayed violently.Rita was thrown from one side to the other, hitting against the glass wall heavily and falling.

The beetle buzzed angrily through the glass and wanted to turn back into its original appearance, but the magic on the bottle prevented it.

“What should we do with her now, Evan?” said Hermione, looking closely at the beetle in the bottle.

“This bottle will be handed over to you for safekeeping. Please shut her for a while,” said Evan. “If she’s not honest, shake the jar hard and give her a lesson to see if she can’t break the habit of slandering and insulting people.”

“No problem, leave it to me!” said Hermione calmly, putting the jar inside her schoolbag.

She was worried that it would not be good of her to do so, but when she thought of Rita Skeeter’s behavior and what she had done, she felt that something really needed to be done. 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝑤𝘦𝑏𝓃ℴ𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝑚

That was the lesson that Rita Skeeter deserved, so that she would not dare make up articles to slander other people’s reputation in the future.

Next, the topic shifted from Rita Skeeter to Animagus, and Hermione wanted to learn this magic. Not to mention Harry, who was envious of Evan after seeing him transforming in the Leaky Cauldron pub.

Animagus is a very advanced form of Transfiguration that enables the wizard to transform himself into some kind of animal.

Animagi can only take on the form of one specific animal. This animal form is not chosen by the wizard, but determined by their personality and inner traits.

Unlike the Patronus that may change, each wizard’s Animagus will remain the same form throughout his life.

The first transformation process is very dangerous and it’s very likely to result in disaster. Therefore, the Ministry of Magic strictly controlled the Animagi and required them to be registered in the Ministry’s Improper Use of Magic Office, as well as their animal forms and their distinguishing markings.

But whether it was Harry’s father James, Sirius, Peter Pettigrew, or Evan and Rita Skeeter, they were all illegal Animagi, not registered with the Ministry of magic, and could do many things with Animagus at will.

They had not to worry about being discovered in their transformed state. This spell was very practical in detecting, hiding, escaping and reducing the influence of the Dementors.

Learning Animagus not only needs the necessary knowledge of Transfiguration, but also needs a lot of magic as support for the first transformation.

Magic was the most difficult obstacle, but for Evan, it had been solved with the help of the Philosopher’s Stone.

With the help of Tom Riddle’s diary in his first year, Evan also studied the corresponding knowledge theory clearly.

Helping Harry and Hermione master Animagus was not technically a problem at all.

Evan took out his research notes and let them both familiarize themselves with the principles of the spell. When they had mastered them all, he was helping them with their first transformation.

He could also consult Sirius, who had a lot of unique experience in the Animagus transformation.

With Hermione’s learning speed, Evan predicted that by this summer vacation, she would be able to complete the Animagus transformation.

Harry might need more time. He had a poor foundation for Transfiguration and would probably have to wait until the following summer vacation to master it.

More than twenty minutes later, when Evan, Harry, and Hermione arrived at the Shrieking Shack, Sirius was already there!

He looked more tired and dusty than they had seen him before, as though he had just come from a battlefield.

An Auror’s work was not as glamorous as outsiders seemed to think, with a lot of danger and workload far beyond imagination.

“Evan, we’d better hurry up. There are many things to practice,” said Sirius gently. “Although you’re very strong, there’s no way to develop your abilities and practice Apparition and shifting at Hogwarts. I have to make sure you have enough ability to pass the exam. Otherwise, I won’t allow you to use this spell.”

Sirius helped Evan tamper with the Ministry of Magic testing so that he could use the spell while not adult yet without fear of being monitored by the Ministry of Magic. But he had to ensure Evan had the ability to Apparate.

Noticing his serious expression, Evan nodded and took out his wand.

Apparition was very dangerous as it involved bending space.

If he didn’t master the spell, he wouldn’t use it successfully and it would be looking for death.

Harry and Hermione sat down on the steps in front of the Shrieking Shack and watched Evan and Sirius practice.

“You should have reviewed the key points of Apparition, but I’d like to say it again … Harry and Hermione, you two also remember it carefully!” With a wave of his wand, an old-fashioned wooden hoop appeared on the ground. “The most important things to remember when Apparating are the three D’s. Let’s start with shifting. Now please focus on the wooden hoop.”

Evan gazed at the circular patch of dusty floor enclosed by his hoop and focused.

Shifting was the so-called teleportation, which was embodied in the battle. It could make the caster disappear from his position instantly and appear in another position. Compared with Apparition, shifting was closer and only moved within the field of vision.

Magic consumption was relatively small, but it required precise control of the magic and quick response ability. Like Silent Casting, it was a very high combat skill.

It was easy to grasp it, but very difficult to use in an actual duel. Many wizards could master Apparition well, but they could not use Shift to fight.

In a tense battle, if one is slightly distracted, he may be hit by his opponent’s magic.

There was no doubt that mastering the shifting spell was very helpful to the wizard. In the battle, he wouldn’t have to rely on his body to dodge clumsily.

With this spell, he could also make a lot of unexpected tactics.
