Chapter 245 Shining Stone Dragon Knight
Inside the Transformation Chamber, Hermione, in her moon form, showered her light upon the kneeling boy below.
In this ambiguous dragon offering ceremony, she is bestowing upon Draco of this world the image of a dragon offering prayer from her memory.
In the mental world, a fierce battle is underway, while in the real world, Hermione is using moonlight to reshape his body and give him new possibilities.
The others couldn't participate in the ceremony and could only cheer silently in their hearts. But apart from Narcissa and Lily who were watching intently, the others started thinking about other things during the process.
"How's Professor Crouch's class?" Dumbledore asked Harry and the others in a low voice. There was nothing else going on, so he took the opportunity to hear the students' opinions of the new professor.
"It's alright, better than just reading from the textbook." Harry shrugged.
"But it's not bad either," Ron added.
"Professor Crouch is very knowledgeable; he can derive a lot of information from the textbook, but, well..."
Well, how should I put it?
"It's a bit boring," Neville said abruptly.
"Yeah! Boring!" Ron slammed his fist down.
"You could tell he was serious and wanted to teach us more, but he went a bit too far. We had to constantly take notes and wave our wands to cast spells, which was mentally taxing and not fun at all!"
"Oh, I suppose he was a little nervous, it was his first time being a professor," Dumbledore said with a hint of regret.
"But Barty Jr. is truly talented. He graduated with 12 zeros, making him the first student to graduate with 12 zeros after the war. You will definitely be able to learn something from him."
"When he graduated, his father hired a whole ceremonial team, who rode back on broomsticks, playing bagpipes and drums all the way," McGonagall recalled with a sigh.
"He's a bright kid, and hopefully his experience teaching at Hogwarts will help him get over the pain of losing his father. It would be even better if it could change his mindset."
"But with Professor Lockhart's outstanding performance last year as an example, I'm afraid the students won't think too highly of him." Harry shrugged. He and his father were on the same page and didn't have a good impression of this man.
Finally, after everyone had been chatting for nearly fifteen minutes, a change finally occurred in the transformation room.
The moon on the semicircle slowly withdrew its light and transformed back into Hermione as she landed.
Draco suddenly opened his eyes, swung his fist and punched the air, almost falling to the ground.
"Huh? What happened to me?!"
Just a moment ago, he was still in the mental world, battling the rock dragon.
At first, he tried to use spells to deal with the situation, but later he found that with the blessing of the moonlight, his physical body in his spiritual sea was becoming stronger and stronger, so he gave up using spells and fought the young dragon with his bare hands.
Although he was not physically dominant, he became exceptionally quick and resilient in the spiritual realm, and his strength was terrifying. In the end, he rode on the dragon's head, pounding on it to make the beast submit to him.
"You have won. You have subdued the remaining spirit of that young dragon, and now you are qualified to become a dragon," Hermione said with a light laugh.
The others rushed into the transformation chamber. Narcissa pulled her son around, pinching and examining everything until she found no dragon scales or horns, at which point she breathed a sigh of relief.
But that's not all. When using Dragon's Blessing, it's best to have a special holy mark, rather than the one Draco carved himself.
Hermione took out the goblin hammer from her bag and brought over the rock heart from which some of the dragon's blood had been taken.
"We can't waste this stuff."
Inside the transformation chamber, without any other assistance, Hermione, who had mastered the secrets of goblin transformation, simply tapped the surface of the heart, and the warm, rocky flesh automatically softened and deformed, beginning to contract inward.
Her magic and will amplified it, causing the dragon heart, which was originally nearly half the size of a person, to gradually shrink and its texture to completely transform into stone.
"Her Transfiguration has reached this level?" McGonagall asked Dumbledore in a low voice.
"Even fairies shouldn't be able to mold magical creature materials so easily, right?"
As they were talking, Gong Tian had already finished forging.
Hermione put away the forging hammer. Where the Dragon Heart had been on the platform, only a small, flat stone holy mark, about half the size of a palm, remained, as if all its essence had been condensed together.
It was a giant dragon roaring at the moon, its body covered in hard stone scales, while the moon above emitted a faint glow. The entire Holy Mark was warm to the touch and had a slight heartbeat. Compared to the original gray stone of the Rock Dragon, the Holy Mark was now closer to the color of sapphire, perhaps because it had been infused with too much moonlight, which changed it.
"Give it a try." She handed the Holy Mark to Draco.
The latter put the precious one he had carved himself into his pocket and wrapped the Dragon's Blessing Seal, which Hermione had made for him, around his wrist.
"Pray, then transform!"
In an instant, his right hand rapidly expanded, along with his sleeve, transforming into a gigantic dragon claw, and the people around him quickly distanced themselves.
In the spacious transformation chamber, Draco held up a dragon claw almost twice the size of his entire body, looking shocked, which then turned into joy.
"Let's test its power." Hermione controlled the Room of Requirement, creating several target dummies in front of her.
Draco gave a soft shout and effortlessly manipulated the massive dragon claw to strike down.
With a loud bang, the three target dummies were completely smashed to pieces, and even the floor shook.
"It's even stronger than a real fire dragon!" McGonagall exclaimed in surprise, pushing up her glasses.
"Look at his arm, it's not a simple rock dragon." Harry pointed to Draco's arm, which had turned into a dragon claw. It also had a thick layer of stone plates, but they were not ordinary rocks. Instead, they were mysterious blue-black stone scales, interspersed with clusters of pyroxene crystals.
"A Radiant Stone Dragon!" Hermione thought to herself.
At the border are two famous Radiant Stone Dragons, namely Smarag and Adura. Smarag guards the Radiant Stone Key that leads into the Magic Academy's barrier, while Adura is the "Dragon Knight" of the goddess Ni, and has created the very cool Radiant Stone magic "Adura's Moonlight Sword".
It is suspected that they transformed into the form of Radiant Stone Dragons because they devoured too many mages who used Radiant Stone magic, resulting in their bodies being corroded by Radiant Stone.
Perhaps because Draco himself is a wizard, his dragon form is naturally drawn to brilliance magic.
"Perhaps we can directly comprehend the Radiant Stone Breath?"
Draco can use the simplest dragon claw directly with the help of the Holy Mark, but the head transformation requires a higher level of skill, and he cannot use it independently yet.
Hermione then infused the memory of the Dragonfire Prayer into the Holy Seal: "Shall we try again?"
Draco prayed with his eyes closed for quite a while this time. When he opened his eyes again, his head began to change. The originally handsome golden-haired boy's head suddenly swelled and grew larger, turning into a dragon head that was struggling but quite beautiful. Clusters of sharp, backward-pointing pyroxene crystals were attached to his cheeks, making him look very imposing. However, perhaps because he was still a young dragon, his dragon horns were not long, only two short segments.
Its tiny body was topped with a dragon head bigger than a person, which looked bizarre no matter how you looked at it, but as it slowly rose, it took a deep breath.
Spray forcefully forward!
"Ahem!"
Two small clusters of brief blue flames, like an engine that hadn't started, brought the dragon's breath, which had been brewing for half a day, to an abrupt halt.
Draco landed back on the ground, his dragon head immediately transforming back into human form. He grimaced, "It's so spicy! I'll need some time to adjust!"
However, it was indeed the breath of pyroxene. Compared to ordinary dragon flames, this blue fire mixed with the magic of pyroxene was much more powerful, as if it were being directly burned by nuclear radiation.
