Chapter 16: A Cat in the Transfiguration Classroom? Just Pet It!

Chapter 16: A Cat in the Transfiguration Classroom? Just Pet It!

Dylan played with Luna in the owlery for a while, fed her some meat strips, and then returned to the Great Hall.

At this time, some scattered students were coming over for breakfast.

Dylan had already eaten, so he sat in his seat and read his book.

When it was almost time, he got up and prepared to go to the classroom.

There was still half an hour before class started.

The reason he came early was that he was worried that the Hogwarts stairs would mess with the freshmen.

As expected, when he went upstairs, the stairs would suddenly turn from time to time.

Dylan walked up twice.

When he was about to reach the platform for the third time, the stairs trembled again, seeming to want to turn in another direction.

Dylan narrowed his eyes and raised the wand in his hand.

"Petrificus Totalus!"

A stream of magic flowed out.

Dylan's control over this spell wasn't very high.

When the magic hit the stairs, it only stiffened for a moment.

But during this gap, Dylan took a step and jumped onto the platform.

The stairs stopped moving.

Dylan glanced at it and turned to the classroom.

At this time, some scattered students were already sitting in the classroom.

But most of them sat in the middle and back rows.

Dylan was too lazy to walk back, so he sat in the front row near the door.

After he put his things down and placed the books he needed for class on the desk.

A tabby cat suddenly walked in from the door, her steps were light and silent, but she exuded an indescribable elegance.

The moment she stepped into the classroom, her green eyes locked onto Dylan.

Dylan also glanced at her.

"Hmm, what if I pretend not to know Professor McGonagall's Animagus form and pet her now?"

This thought flashed through his mind.

Dylan stood up as if possessed.

"Wow~ what a cute little tabby cat. Is it someone's pet?"

He was sitting at the door, so he came to the tabby cat in two or three steps and squatted down.

The tabby cat was stunned and didn't react.

Her whole body was already in the air, held in Dylan's arms.

Feeling the movement of his hands stroking her fur, the tabby cat narrowed her eyes in enjoyment at first.

But the next moment she came back to her senses, immediately meowed, and twisted restlessly.

Then she broke free from Dylan's arms, drew a yellow arc in the air, and jumped onto the podium.

She squatted there, turned her head and glared at Dylan, her green eyes flashing with an elusive light.

Dylan pretended to be stupid and tilted his head: "Whose little tabby cat is this?"

He muttered and sat back in his seat.

"If you don't want to be hugged, you're not cute."

"..."

Professor McGonagall almost didn't maintain her Animagus form.

She had been teaching for so long, and no little wizard had ever dared to be so bold!

She dared to tease her!

Professor McGonagall couldn't help but consider whether she should go out first and turn back into a human before coming in.

She was a little embarrassed since the little wizard wasn't.

After Dylan broke free from Professor McGonagall's arms, he continued to read "A Concise Guide to Transfiguration Spells" in his seat.

Professor McGonagall glanced at him.

Seeing that Dylan was still so studious, her bad mood improved a little.

Her head tilted down, then nodded gently up and down, her furry ears trembled slightly, and her tail swayed left and right.

Although Dylan didn't look directly at the tabby cat, he saw this scene out of the corner of his eye.

"So... cute!"

He quickly calmed down and focused all his attention on the pages in front of him.

But he couldn't help but have another adventurous thought in his heart.

"I have to get the Umbra pet license as soon as possible."

Last time when he bought the owl, he went to Diagon Alley again and asked about the more detailed license application process.

But it would be quite troublesome if he did it himself, so he had better entrust an adult wizard to do it.

If an adult wizard, and a magizoologist, wrote a letter of explanation for him.

Then the difficulty of getting the license would be greatly reduced.

And Dylan had already chosen this adult wizard.

It was Hagrid!

Hagrid was the keeper of the Forbidden Forest.

And he almost knew all kinds of creatures, so he was definitely a qualified magizoologist.

"Harry and Hagrid have a good relationship. It seems that I have to get along with Harry in the future."

In this way, he could use Harry to get in touch with Hagrid.

Hagrid, who loved magical animals, would not refuse to help after knowing that he secretly kept an Umbra.

More and more little wizards hurried into the classroom.

But Harry and Ron hadn't come yet.

Until the bell rang.

The two of them came late.

Professor McGonagall on the podium narrowed her cat eyes.

She jumped lightly.

Her figure twisted sharply and turned into a human in the blink of an eye.

"What?!"

The little wizards around were stunned, their eyes widened, and they were shocked.

Dylan also showed a dazed expression.

He didn't need to do anything now, just pretend to be stupid.

Anyway, he had already petted her.

Ignorance is bliss!

Professor McGonagall glared at him, but didn't say anything. Instead, she turned her attention to Harry and Ron at the door.

These two were also stunned. They originally thought that the professor hadn't arrived yet, so they could sneak in first.

As a result, a cat suddenly turned into a professor, scaring them.

"Being late as a team is very good. Maybe I should turn one of you into a pocket watch so you can know what time it is."

Harry lowered his head and muttered, "Sorry, we didn't mean to, professor."

Ron also lowered his head: "The school is too big, we got lost by accident."

Professor McGonagall said expressionlessly: "Oh, then turn into a map, so you can find your way."

Harry: "..."

Ron: "..."

"I don't think you need a map to find your seats, do you?"

Hearing Professor McGonagall say this, Harry quickly dragged Ron to the nearest seat.

It happened to be next to Dylan.

Professor McGonagall walked back to the podium.

"Time is precious. Transfiguration will be the most complex and dangerous magic in all your years of study. You must not be careless or slack."

Professor McGonagall's eyes were stern, scanning the audience.

"If anyone dares to make trouble in my class, they will never have to enter my classroom again!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Professor McGonagall waved her wand.

The podium in front of her turned into a pink fat pig in an instant.

"Hiss!"

The audience gasped!
