This is what Ravenclaw looks like..

Chapter 140: After the Philosopher’s Stone, is there a new path?

Although he wanted to stay quiet and do nothing, his damn thirst for knowledge took over Andrew.

An interview mode that was almost dominated by him - which Ravenclaw could withstand such temptation?
That's the first white wizard...

Even though Andrew would not ask any out-of-line questions regarding Transfiguration because of Professor McGonagall's warning, the knowledge in other areas was truly fascinating.

Who can bear it?
Andrew can't anyway.

"It's time to test my acting skills."

He said this to himself, then packed up and went to the library - the current library was extremely quiet, and even if a professor came to get a book occasionally, he would not enter the bookshelf to read.

"Then, let's get started."

-

"Hogwarts, I'm back."

John looked at the silhouette of Hogwarts Castle in the distance and felt extremely excited.

Six years after graduation, he is now considered a formal reporter and even has a chance to interview Dumbledore - what an honor!

He checked his clothes again to make sure that his wizard robe was not stained with any dust, and then he walked towards the road leading to the school in Hogsmeade at the impatient urging of the photographer.

"Who do you think will pick us up?"

In order to ease his nervousness, he asked the photographer.

"Probably Hagrid. Didn't you receive a reply from the school yesterday? Didn't you read it carefully?"

The photographer's tone was a bit overbearing - it wasn't because of his personality, but because of the editor-in-chief's request before departure.

He had to constantly keep this barely qualified guy under control and make him ask questions honestly as agreed.

Why Young Journalists?
Isn't it because you are obedient that you don't have to ask your own questions and ask the same questions as the one who praised the potato on the full piece of parchment?

A guy who has graduated for some time and has smoothed out his thorns is more useful - someone who looks like he can ask those questions, but is afraid to ask questions that go beyond the manuscript.

Who would have thought that the guy who praised potatoes actually had so many problems!

But if there is, then there is - he is responsible for promoting Dumbledore's legend, and the salary increase during this period is very satisfactory. Just ask, the more new publications, the better the sales, and he can also benefit from it!
John didn't feel anything. This was a rare opportunity, and it was normal to ask limited questions - the most important thing was that they were going to meet Dumbledore this time!
But to his surprise, the person who came to greet him was not only Hagrid, but also a young boy, and it was even the young boy who took the initiative to come forward to greet him.

"Good morning, sir - are you the staff of Magic Legends magazine?"

"Yes, we had an appointment."

The invitation letter and the reply were verified one by one, and then the two were invited to get on the carriage and flew towards Hogwarts.

"Hello, I'm Andrew Taylor, a second-year Ravenclaw and part-time assistant in the vice-principal's office."

In the carriage, John heard the little man introduce himself - he immediately understood why he was short.

It turns out to be a little brat...

He subconsciously wanted to show his senior's aura, but before he could stand up straight, he was put back by the pressure from the photographer behind him.

However, these little episodes were ignored by the second grader.

"Although Dumbledore doesn't mind some out-of-line questions, the school is reluctant to have any unpleasant things happen - so, I think we still need to have one last communication before the interview begins. After all, you..."

The short guy turned around and stared at John. The serious look in his eyes reminded him of the conversation they had yesterday when he was given instructions.

Of course, John knew what was omitted - the so-called autobiography published by his own magazine...

"In addition, there should be no negative reports or unwarranted interpretations. Of course, gossip is strictly prohibited. I don't need to say more about this, right?" This momentum... It seems like he wants to fire people...

"Of course not!"

John agreed firmly.

"Also, it's better to take a serious photo. Although Headmaster Dumbledore is a kind person, but..."

"no problem!"

"Very good... Worthy of my Professor McGonagall-like disposable colored contact lenses..."

In order to make work communication smoother, Andrew even spent half a day adjusting this thing so that wearing it would give him the oppressive feeling of Professor McGonagall in the office.

The combination of colored contact lenses and deliberately imitated eyes creates an outstanding effect.

……

"Please come in, Dumbledore is waiting in his office."

Andrew's tone became a little more cheerful, as if his previous stern personality did not exist.

'I hope Professor Dumbledore isn't snacking, or all this preparation would be wasted...'

Relaxing himself with this attitude, Andrew shouted out the command and knocked on the door of the principal's office.

Fortunately, Dumbledore did not have the habit of letting down his guard at serious moments. When Andrew came with reporters, there were two piles of documents, one high and one low, on the desk of their dear headmaster, which was rare!

Stop, Principal, that smile on your face is too bright. You should handle half of the documents with an apologetic smile and then push the two piles of documents aside, instead of moving the documents away happily!

However, this shot of Dumbledore working at work is destined to be unavailable - those documents can only serve as the background.

He had a hard time handling the situation next and could only stand behind the photographer and wait for reporters to ask questions.

If there are questions that shouldn't appear or words that are likely to cause ambiguity, he is responsible for interrupting and letting the conversation continue - but he checked those questions on the way, and they looked very familiar...

"Principal Dumbledore, do you think there is an end to magic?"

“Is there any possibility of their unification?”

“What is the future development trend of herbal medicine?”

"Will the automatic cauldron for potions have better development in the future?"

“Does the emergence of the Philosopher’s Stone in alchemy mean the end of alchemy? What are the prospects for the development of emerging alchemy?”

"Do you have any suggestions for the so-called mechanization of Muggles?"

"What are the general employment trends for Hogwarts graduates internationally in the future?"

Since Professor McGonagall had warned him not to aim too high in Transfiguration, he might as well ask about alchemy - Andrew was very concerned about the future.

If it weren't for the restrictions of the Statute of Secrecy, he would really like to know how electricity and communications should enter the wizarding world from Dumbledore's perspective, and what they would be combined with.

What will these things become of the wizarding world - if Voldemort died, would Dumbledore concentrate on studying the magicalization of these Muggle things?
What kind of sparks will this create? What kind of future will it forge?
With the help of magic, could the sun be replicated more easily?

If we use alchemical instruments, can we use carbon dioxide to break the chain that has locked Transfiguration for too long and prevented it from producing food?

He really wanted to know, when new theories were proposed and integrated into the magic system, would the old Transfiguration edifice collapse, or would a completely new system be established?

There are too many questions... How can I possibly finish asking them all...
