Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures - H.P.S.T Chapter 821: Hermione's Animagus
As Bill said, no matter which country it was, it would not open its legendary magical items casually.
This was normal. Evan had been mentally prepared before coming, but did not expect the situation to be so gloomy. He thought Dumbledore and Flamel’s letters of recommendation would play a role, but from what Bill implied, it still needed layers of approval, and the time that it would take was uncertain…
It should be known that the eternal pursuit of ancient Egyptian wizards was to conquer death and achieve eternal life in the true sense. All kinds of magical research and complex magic branches had been carried out around this point, and finally three magic classics were handed down in the world.
Of course, these three magic books were the Golden Book of Amun Ra, the Black Book of the Dead and the Emerald Tablet.
The Golden Book of Amun Ra had the strongest power. It could allow the living to obtain eternal life, let the dead rest in peace again, break all the curses in the world and use the power of the sun.
It was a pity that this magic book had long been buried in the long river of history, leaving only countless legends for future generations to remember.
The Black Book of the Dead could bring the dead back to life and form an army of the dead. It also recorded terrifying Dark magic such as curses and plagues.
It had been lost like the Golden Book of Amun Ra, but some fragments had been carved in the tombs of the pharaohs and sacrificial chambers, thus being sorted out by later generations.
Although the version compiled by later generations was not as powerful as in the legend, it was still a legendary magical item.
As for the Emerald Tablet, it could be simply said to be known as the enlightenment book of Alchemy, with extraordinary significance.
Many wizards believed that its real secret had not yet been discovered, and research on it had never ceased.
In this situation, it was far more difficult for Evan to see the Emerald Tablet than he’d expected.
“You don’t need to worry too much. With the help of Dumbledore and Flamel, you’ll be allowed to a visit. I don’t think there should be a big problem,” said Bill. “Anyway, I’ll actively strive for it. But Before that, you can stay in Egypt with peace of mind.”
“How long will it take?”
“Trust me, this matter will definitely be resolved before the school starts,” said Bill.
“All right!” said Evan. There was no other way at present, and it seemed that he needed to stay in Egypt for a few more days.
As a hotel, the rooms of the Explorer Hotel were indeed spacious and luxurious enough.
Compared with the old, cramped rooms of the Leaky Cauldron, Evan and Hermione’s rooms were as large as four of them.
The room was divided into two suites, each with a bed. The floor was covered with thick Arabian blankets, which were very comfortable to step on. The walls were also filled with Egyptian-style paintings, and there was a gorgeous scarab ornament.
Directly facing the door was a huge French window, offering a view of the pyramids outside, and going out, there was a large balcony. Downstairs were dense palm trees. The warm evening breeze was blowing gently, creating a very comfortable atmosphere…
After dinner, Evan lay in a daze in the hammock on the balcony, swinging the keystone in his hand.
He thought about the Emerald Tablet for a while, and the ruins of Amun Ra left by Ramses II and the rumor that the Golden Book of Amun Ra was hidden in it, but there were too few clues in his hand, and he couldn’t make any progress. His thoughts drifted further and further…
Bill had already gone back, while Hermione was ‘hiding’ in her room, not giving Evan a chance to “take the chase”.
“How leisurely!” He stretched out and stood up.
It was really out of his style to lie here so lazily, so Evan decided to find Hermione next door.
Whether it was helping her complete the Animagus transformation as planned or researching something together, it was better than lying here alone and being bored.
The long night had just begun…
Knock, knock, knock … just then, there was a loud knock on the door outside, and Evan hurried over to open it.
Before he could step out, Hermione came to his door. She seemed to have mustered up the courage and made a decision. She looked at Evan bravely.
Just back to her room earlier, she’d been thinking, having been entangled in how to get along with Evan, and she finally figured out that she was now Evan’s girlfriend, there was nothing to struggle with, and there was no need to avoid him.
It was not her style. She thought of the experience that the school senior girls told her about, and she had to show courage and take the initiative.
If she liked him, she liked him. It was evident that they’d both gone through so much together, and now it was natural to be together, not to be afraid of being laughed at; not to mention Harry, Ron, Ginny and other students were not here. Tonight was entirely their own world, just the two of them.
“Evan, I…” Hermione looked at Evan, staring into his eyes, and the gentle breeze blowing past intoxicated her.
How could she? She really wanted to have some red wine. The sour and sweet taste would go well with the scene before her.
In such a night scene, it was likely that anything could happen, and Hermione wouldn’t resist…
“I was just about to come and find you,” said Evan happily. He let Hermione in and did not find anything unusual about her. “I thought we agreed on the plane during the trip that I would help you with your first Animagus transformation tonight.”
“Animagus transformation?!” Hermione froze for a moment. She didn’t come to him to talk about it.
She came to talk again about Evan’s request to be together in the same room, but Animagus seemed to be good, too.
“Animagus is a very deep human Transfiguration,” said Hermione. “Although I’ve been studying the notes you gave me before, can my current strength really accomplish this spell?!”
“Don’t worry; you have no problem with the knowledge of Transfiguration,” said Evan. “There’s no need to worry about magic. I’ve carefully asked Sirius and others about their transformation process and worked out a plan. Peter Pettigrew was not as good as you at that time. He also completed the transformation in the fifth year. You can do it now.”
“But…” Hermione was still a bit worried.
“With me here, there’ll absolutely be no problem!” said Evan, full of confidence.
Hermione nodded. She had unconditional trust in Evan and continued to ask, “What do I need to do?”
“You should carefully recall the transformation process. I’m going to draw a magical rune. This is the method I developed in Alchemy. It can use the power of the Philosopher’s Stone to some extent.” Evan paused and continued, “Hold on, I’ll control the magic power output in the Philosopher’s Stone to help you, and with the Replenishing Potion and your own power, there won’t be any issues for sure.”
Hermione nodded and sat on the edge of the bed, carefully recalling the main points of Animagus transformation.
Then, she suddenly looked up at Evan and said hesitantly, “What animal do you think I’ll become?”
