Hermione tried hard to suppress her laughter, but her face turned bright red.
Zhang Qiu smiled broadly, but she remained silent, maintaining a reserved demeanor.
Levin began to try other abilities.
Suddenly, the phoenix's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace from everyone's sight, reappearing at the top of the oak tree.
Levin's mind changed again, and he flashed once more, appearing by the river that surrounded the forest.
The phoenix nodded in satisfaction and reappeared under the oak tree.
Hermione greeted him with a delighted expression, circling around Levin. "Levin, don't move."
Levin was momentarily bewildered. He wondered if there was something wrong with his teleportation.
He suddenly felt a sharp pain under his wing, and immediately flew to the side, looking angrily at the girl.
Hermione seemed oblivious to his anger, standing there with a smile on her face, holding two golden phoenix feathers in her hands.
"As far as I know, the phoenix can not only teleport itself, but its feathers can also be used to send letters."
As she spoke, the girl took a piece of paper out of her pocket and then stuck the feather into it.
The next second, the letter delivered by the feather appeared above Levin's head.
This time it was Jaina's turn to laugh happily.
Luna refocused her gaze on Levin and asked curiously, "The feathers of the Animagus after transformation should all be body hair, right? Levin, where on your body is this body hair?"
Hearing Luna's question, which only added fuel to the fire, Levin glared at him indignantly and turned his head away.
Zhang Qiu could no longer hold back; she let out a loud laugh.
Cerella and Penelope sat on the ground, laughing hysterically.
Only Tonks didn't laugh; he just blinked.
She felt like she had seen this scene somewhere before!
She looked at Levin, and the two stared at each other.
Jaina thought for a moment, then said to Levin, "Little Levin, Hermione just said that the phoenix's song has magic; it can give courage to those with pure hearts and release fear from those with tainted hearts. Why don't you give it a try?"
Levin always felt that there was something malicious about that smile.
Upon hearing this, everyone else looked at him with anticipation.
Onyxia even took the opportunity to start cheering, and the silly Aiwu joined in the shouting.
Phoenix turned her head away, clearly rejecting Jaina's suggestion.
Jaina didn't give up trying to persuade him. "Don't be shy, little Levin. It's not like you can't sing. I heard from Aiwu that you taught her a lot of nice songs, and she even praised you for your singing!"
Ai Wu, that little traitor.
Levin looked at the little dragon, only to find that the little guy was proudly holding his head high, showing no sign of feeling that he had let his master down.
Levin looked at his companions with some hesitation.
He felt that if he didn't agree, they definitely wouldn't give up trying to persuade him.
So he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Then the phoenix opened its mouth, and its voice grew louder and louder, rising from a low pitch:
“戾一一”
The phoenix's song is ethereal, mysterious, and exhilarating—it even seems to awaken those who are asleep.
Levin deliberately chose the rhythm of "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix," giving the phoenix's song a lingering, oriental charm.
As he chanted, the music grew louder and louder, and the listener felt as if the sound was vibrating right inside their own chest.
The crowd's spirits rose even higher, and they praised the song repeatedly, saying it truly had an uplifting effect.
Finally, Levin stopped singing.
The phoenix's fire breath and fire magic didn't need testing; they were practically instinctive for him.
Levin then returned to human form.
Chapter 252 Registering Animagus
After observing the wilderness ceremony, everyone was very satisfied.
Jaina looked around at everyone present and suddenly decided:
"This seems to be our 'Genius Club'... Damn, which arrogant guy came up with that name... Anyway, it's the first time we've all gotten together, so let's throw a party!"
The arrogant fellow she was talking about looked at the witches gathered together, thoroughly enjoying the harmonious scene, and nodded in agreement: "That's right, there's no time like the present, I haven't formally introduced you to each other yet."
“Then, I’ll prepare the midnight snack.” Zhang Qiu volunteered, wanting to make a good impression on these “adopted older sisters” of Levin.
“I’ll help too!” Penelope immediately responded.
“Me too,” Hermione added.
So Tonks led them to the kitchen to prepare food.
Jaina was about to follow, but Levin stopped her.
Reflecting on his experience transforming into a phoenix, and recalling the Animagus manuals of the Black family that he had previously read, Levin, whose base intelligence had increased to 23 points, had already gained some insights.
“I think I’ve figured out how to give people magical Animagus without relying on wilderness rituals, just through ordinary Animagus rituals,” Levin said to her.
"So, we can also have the opportunity to transform into magical creatures like you?" Jaina's eyes lit up. "As expected of Levin's brother, you've accomplished something that no one in history has ever done before."
In her mind, Levin was already a mage with the potential to rival Antonidas, or even the Guardian Aegwynn.
"So, Jaina, any ideas?" Levin raised an eyebrow.
“Of course, I’ve long wanted to transform into a powerful creature like you,” Jaina said expectantly.
The reason she hasn't practiced Animagus isn't because she lacks the ability, but because she looks down on it.
Transforming into an ordinary creature does her no good whatsoever.
But transforming into a powerful magical creature is another matter entirely.
In that brief moment, several thoughts had already formed in her mind.
Onyxia, however, showed little interest. "What's so great about transforming into a magical creature... Instead of wasting your time on that, you should relax your restrictions on me. That would be much better than any Animagus."
Indeed, what Animagus can compare to a dragon?
But Levin just rolled his eyes at her:
"You're dreaming."
It wasn't that he was afraid of losing control of Onyxia.
The sacrifice of a Philosopher's Stone has forever etched the effects of malicious transformation onto the Black Dragon Princess's body.
You can restrict her however you want; even if she regains all her power, she won't be able to break free.
But Levin couldn't keep an eye on her every day.
If she could revert to her original form, who knows what trouble this evil dragon might cause when he's not looking?
Levin stopped dealing with Onyxia and turned to other people.
"You should prepare the essential materials for the magical creature you want to become in advance, such as blood and heart. I will write down the relevant information and precautions and leave them in the tower. You just need to make the necessary preparations according to the requirements."
Jaina and Cirella nodded in unison.
Then Jaina suggested, "Now that you've figured out how to turn an ordinary wizard into a magical Animagus, why don't you choose one form and register it with the Ministry of Magic to become the eighth Animagus?"
"You want me to register at the Ministry of Magic?" Levin looked at the blonde woman in front of him.
“Yes, this way your Animagus will not only appear openly, but it will also greatly enhance your reputation, Levin,” Jaina said. “Magical Animagus is unique; if handled properly, the influence you gain will be no less than what you’ll gain from participating in the World Cup, not to mention you haven’t even joined the Shadowlands yet.”
What about the national team?
Levin nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.
Indeed, given his current level, there's no need for him to be so reserved in some aspects; he should just openly and generously showcase his abilities.
Jaina continued, "If you register, you can also act as a scout for us. As for our transformation into Animagus, there's no need to rush it; we can proceed step by step."
Jaina Proudmoore, having honed her skills at the Ministry of Magic, had her own methods for enhancing her reputation and capitalizing on this topic.
In the original timeline of World of Warcraft, after taking control of Theramore, she quickly transformed from a naive young girl into a seasoned politician, proving her potential in this field.
Now, in the world of Harry Potter, she has realized that potential.
As for Onyxia, although magic Animagus has nothing to do with her, the black dragon princess, she is quite interested in political intrigue.
So, the two who should have been on opposing sides in WoW are now gathered together, having a very heated discussion.
Shireira crossed her arms and listened with great interest.
Her background gave her an understanding of political intrigue, allowing her to easily see through many tactics, but she herself was not keen on getting involved.
She has a straightforward personality and prefers to follow Levin's arrangements.
In the kitchen, the late-night snack was quickly prepared, and everyone sat together on the sofa. Levin introduced his female classmates to Jaina and the others.
"Let me introduce you. This is Penelope Crivart, our Hogwarts Student Council President, who is also from Ravenclaw. You may already know her; she will be taking the Auror exams with Ciri after graduation."
Penelope smiled generously and stood up.
“Welcome to the Auror, Penelope,” Tonks said. “I’ll look after you.”
"This is Zhang Qiu, a senior in the same year as me. She's also the team's finder. By the way, she's from the same hometown as me."
At this moment, she displayed the quiet and elegant temperament of an Eastern woman, even appearing more dignified than usual, lacking the allure she displayed when with Levin.
But when she saw Tonks' teasing eyes, her cheeks immediately flushed red.
“Miss Luna Lovegood is now a year below me and is also a Ravenclaw.”
Onyxia was very interested in Luna. "Is this Mr. Xenophilius Lovegood's daughter?"
Luna's light silver eyes finally focused on the Black Dragon Princess, and she instinctively shrank back.
Sometimes, having too much psychic ability isn't a good thing.
"Don't worry, Luna, she won't threaten you," Levin reassured her, patting her head.
