At the White Sand Street Orphanage, a Tabby Cat nimbly scaled the wall and stealthily climbed up the Sycamore Tree in the yard.
Professor McGonagall flicked her tail and twitched her whiskers, peering through the gaps in the leaves at a second-story bedroom window.
There, a Little Wizard who had not yet enrolled was awaiting her arrival.
Normally, Professor McGonagall would simply call at the door and use simple Transfiguration or Charms to convince the Little wizards from Muggle society of the existence of magic.
However, this time, she wanted to try a different approach, as Headmaster Dumbledore's suggestion was truly hard to ignore.
...
Three days ago, Karl Orolin's reply amused Professor McGonagall, and in a good mood, she handed the letter to Albus Dumbledore.
After reading it, the Principal's hearty laughter even startled Fawkes, perhaps because of the string of made-up titles that corresponded to him.
The next day, Headmaster Dumbledore invited Professor McGonagall to watch "the lion, the witch and the wardrobe" with him.
"Minerva, a very interesting story, isn't it? Our Mr. Karl is a very imaginative Little Wizard."
"Very good! There's a wardrobe like the Vanishing Cabinet, and Goblins, Giants, Unicorns, ghosts, Centaurs... magic, Witches, and of course, I love that lion the most."
The former old lion of Gryffindor strongly agreed with the current Dean of Gryffindor's view!
"Minerva, don't you think it would be interesting to let Karl see his imagination become reality?"
"So?"
"So give Karl a magical encounter; I believe he will deeply fall in love with magic!"
...
In the bedroom, Karl was leaning on the desk, waiting for the Hogwarts visitor.
Last night, an Owl Postman delivered another letter to him, arranging the meeting in his room.
Karl stared blankly at the sunlight streaming through the window, somewhat worried about his talent.
Because no matter how hard he tried to remember, he couldn't find any trace of magic.
Theoretically, all Little wizards should have records of unintentionally casting magic.
Could it be that I'm the same type as Neville Longbottom? Do I also need to jump off a building headfirst?
But Neville could use magic to wrap himself in a blanket shortly after birth, and he...
Well, perhaps in this magical world, his adult soul was too much of a burden for his infant body, causing him to sleep soundly for most of his infancy and remember nothing.
Can I only use cheats?
He had worked hard for three years in his previous life and hadn't even experienced college life yet.
However, Karl's demands for himself weren't high; he just wanted to learn Animagus, Patronus Charm, Finite Incantatem, and so on!
Hehe~
Just as his thoughts wandered further and further, even soaring to the heavens, a nimble and agile figure appeared on the windowsill and silently landed on the floor.
"Hmm?"
Startled awake, Karl looked intently. A Tabby Cat with glossy, soft fur was elegantly squatting on the ground, looking up at him with its small head.
Noticing the spectacle-like markings around the Tabby Cat's eyes, Karl immediately recognized the Cat Professor.
However, though he knew in his heart, his face showed surprise.
It's time to show some real acting!
"Uh... are you hungry? I have some dried fish for you... Ah?!"
Karl: w(ﾟДﾟ)w
His acting didn't come into play, because when incredible magic truly happened before his eyes, even Karl, who was mentally prepared, was still shocked.
First, the Tabby Cat transformed into a tall Witch in a dark green robe and pointed hat, and then, with a flick of her wand, incredible changes occurred in the room.
The bed turned into a Giant touching the ceiling, the wardrobe became a Centaur holding a bow and arrow... even the table in front of Karl transformed into a Unicorn, which then nudged him.
"The Strongest White Robed Maiar of Middle-earth, The First Guardian Mage of Azeroth, the Chief Summoner of Runeterra!"
"Hello, Mr. Karl Orolin, I am Minerva McGonagall, who corresponded with you."
Professor McGonagall elegantly waved her wand, and tiny stars floated down, gathering in the air to form a galaxy.
"No need for dried fish; I've already eaten before coming here."
"Tell me—are you ready to enter the world of magic?"
...
Karl was dumbfounded, speechless for a moment.
This wasn't just the magical shock brought by Professor McGonagall, but also because a blue light screen unfolded before his eyes:
[Detecting...]
[Keyword extraction...]
[Cat form, Transfiguration, Human form, magic...]
[Matching...]
Ah? So I'm a cheat player?!
Did all my talents get exchanged for this? Does that mean I can just lie back and relax?
[Match successful!]
[Summon Hero: Nidalee, the Bestial Huntress!]
Besides these two lines, a hot-bodied, beautiful-faced huntress holding a spear also appeared in the middle of the light screen?
She wore simple clothes made of animal fur, revealing large expanses of tanned skin, looking both captivating and dangerous.
Karl: (⊙_⊙)?
In a daze, he seemed to return to his days of battling in Summoners Rift, like being speared to low health, then watching Nidalee transform and pounce, sending him back to the fountain to bathe with a series of bites...
Before Karl's thoughts could completely drift off, Nidalee's image suddenly glowed brightly and turned into starlight.
[Nidalee: The wild will make them fear! Instinct guides my steps!]
[Nidalee, the Bestial Huntress, can freely change forms, whether for combat or On The Hunt.]
[Nidalee has taught you the Vastayashai'rei's shapeshifting ability, granting you the Jungle Cat form.]
[Deep in Nidalee's heart, she always wondered if she was the only Paka Jungle Cat that could change forms.]
Huh? Is this considered Animagus?
Before Karl could react, he felt an uncomfortable sensation spread throughout his body, neither painful nor itchy.
...
Just as Professor McGonagall was waiting for Karl's answer, she suddenly noticed him frowning.
"Mr. Orolin? Were you scared?"
"No, Ms. McGonagall, I just feel a bit unwell..."
Before Karl could finish his sentence, he transformed from a human into a Paka Jungle Cat.
Professor McGonagall: w(ﾟДﾟ)w
Her calm and elegant expression cracked as she stared down in disbelief.
A Jungle Cat with glossy, soft fur was politely squatting on the ground.
It was looking up at her with its small head, looking handsome and adorable.
At this moment, it was exactly like that moment before.
Only the positions had been swapped.
"Merlin's beard! What did I just see?"
"Meow!"
Merlin's flowery skirt! Teacher Nidalee! You are forever my god!
