This is what Ravenclaw looks like.

"It is good to be diligent and studious in Ravenclaw, but you are too diligent."

…

"Don't imitate those Hufflepuff students. Their daily habit is to go to the kitchen to eat."

…

"Mrs. Pingsi has a special elf in charge of her meals, and she is not the only person on duty..."

"ah?"

Andrew pretended to correct the previous matter as soon as he learned about it, but after the last sentence came out, he really couldn't pretend anymore.

"Of course, this is the library of Hogwarts, not Azkaban... Do you think it's possible to stare at the students for more than ten hours a day without weekends and work for a whole semester?"

It is indeed outrageous to say this - even Professor Binns does not work with such high intensity.

"But every time I come here, Mrs. Pince is always there."

"Because there are two Madame Pince, and they are twins."

? ? ?

Is this okay?

"As a qualified Ravenclaw, you should be able to understand this easily," Hand spread his hands, "Similarly, as a qualified sixth-year student, what I want to tell you is that food cannot The solution is to use magic - even if it is the refilling spell that is the closest to replicating food, the replicated liquid will only have a similar taste and will backfire on the drinker after the magic loses its effect. "

"So, it is impossible for our librarian to stare at the library all day long without eating. This is common sense in magic for senior students."

"Very useful common sense, thank you." Andrew hesitated, and finally couldn't help but ask, "So, if I used magic to summon a bunch of food, and the magic was not canceled during the eating process, what would the consequences be? how?"

"For a wizard, he realizes the problem very quickly, and then the spell wears off quickly and you're hungrier than you were before you ate."

"For wizards?"

"Of course," Hand said matter-of-factly, "If you are a Muggle, I advise you not to even think about it - that is the shortcut to Azkaban."

Azkaban is Rome, will you go there after discussing it?

But it is obviously not suitable to discuss this with the crazy people in the society - for a group of people who are dedicated to the Ministry of Magic, Azkaban is the greatest blasphemy, even if it is just an academic discussion.

'I'll ask Professor McGonagall later... and also ask about the idea that came to me when I just cast the spell. ’

Although he is not his own dean, as long as Professor McGonagall answers this question, he will be so thick-skinned that he will not think about other questions.

He began to try to change the subject to discuss something else. However, before the two of them returned to the common room, the news of the all-clear had spread throughout the castle - it was said that a group of Gryffindor guys had the guts to do it, but No one has come forward to admit this.

"Now that the alarm has been cleared, you can act on your own."

He was quickly abandoned in disgust - he was not from a small faction after all.

Andrew was also happy about this, but it was a pity that it was inconvenient to send letters at this point. (The fact that a troll entered the castle and then went to the owlhouse seems to have been tipped off by the culprit. He was afraid that he would be held down by a group of eager prefects, so that today he could hang from the astronomy tower and count stars.)

——

The next day, Andrew, who was among the students, sent out a package of mediocre-looking manuscripts. After contaminating the poor professor's knowledge base with drawings in a happy mood, he happily went to Professor McGonagall's office. office.

"Sit down. Have you gained some new experience in spell casting?"

"Yes, Professor."

Andrew answered happily, "I even looked at the results of those senior years."

There was definitely no way to say that he didn’t know about the troll. Since everyone said so, Andrew naturally happily took the blame.

"Although those guys seriously violated school rules, I have to say that they did a good job."

Professor McGonagall even had a smile on her face, but it quickly disappeared, "It looks like it was done by those guys in the third grade."

"The coordination was not very smooth, but they used the terrain very well." Andrew's face was neither red nor white, as if it really had nothing to do with him, "I am far behind in this aspect."

"It's not that they didn't cooperate well, it's that they underestimated the troll too much - they thought that guy was as docile as the guys in the Magical Creatures course. Whether it was the control of the trap or the follow-up control of the transformation spell, they seemed to be in a hurry. The monster in the middle The curse attack didn’t work as it should at all.”

Have you found so many?

That is to say, I preconceptionally thought that he was a third-year student, otherwise it would be really difficult to blame... Of course, the main reason is that there were no casualties. It was a disobedient prank, so Professor McGonagall did not pursue it and deducted points from his own college. desire.

"Actually, they can do better." Although he didn't bother to check it, Professor McGonagall still marked it as an assignment. "If the team is more divided and cooperates, then one person can be sent to simply control an object to attract the troll. Attention, others took the opportunity to transform and strengthen the trap, so that the troll could be controlled to death without any other means. "

"If you are a senior wizard, it is actually easier."

Professor McGonagall paused and looked at Andrew.

"It temporarily activates the object - so that you can use the transformation spell to set up traps before the magic is destroyed, instead of having to concentrate on controlling the object to attract the troll."

"That's right, that's right, so I'm definitely not a fifth-grade student who is tired of studying and wants to have some fun."

Just when Andrew was about to ask the next question, a snow-white owl flew in from the window and piled a letter on a nearby table that was already piled with letters.

"Ah, sorry, professor, that's all, interrupting your work again."

"It doesn't matter, I welcome talented students to explore more in transfiguration - if I don't have to deal with supply orders and the like, I would rather spend my time on teaching. Okay, continue on Go up and experiment with transfiguration, remember what I told you—don’t get involved in theories you don’t understand.”

"Yes, Professor, I will keep that in mind."

"That's good. By the way, if you want to study transfiguration in depth, I hope you have a certain understanding of arithmetic and divination. That will make it easier for you to understand the shapes of plants and animals."

‘Arithmetic and divination? Is it to be sensitive to numbers? Can this help us understand the proportions of plants and animals more intuitively? ’

"Okay, I do know a bit about Muggle arithmetic. I'll preview those as soon as I can."

"Well, good, then I have to deal with the documents here."

++++

"Yes, understanding the model of the object is definitely conducive to the reality of transfiguration - although magic blurs this relationship, it still has a certain impact."

"In addition, I have been trying to put the letter on Dumbledore's desk and completely ignored Professor McGonagall..."

"As long as I briefly understand the school's supply system, I can easily forge a letter from the supplier to notify Professor McGonagall."

…

"The calculations are good, and I have a good foundation in transfiguration. Although the rest of the homework is not very good, I haven't fallen behind too much..."

"If your numerical processing skills are okay, you can indeed use a work-study method to come to the office to help process documents."
