Chapter 200 Start practicing

"What a lively and vibrant scene..."

After the laboratory training range was transformed, Andrew locked the laboratory and came to Black Lake.

He seldom went out during class time - either to the library, the office, or at worst to find an empty classroom to practice magic. Wasting time by the Black Lake was simply too much of a luxury.

"Am I too eager for quick success?"

Andrew looked at the people coming and going and couldn't help but sigh.

But - time is too precious, and when the Noseless Man really comes out, he won't listen to your excuses...

"It's just too embarrassing to practice magic in public..."

He shook his head, trying not to think about these messy things, walked through the crowd who were playing cards or chess, and headed towards the Black Lake. Then he found an area with few people (basically only couples, who ran away in a panic after seeing him...) and settled down.

"This is it... It's a bit extravagant, but... I can't help it..."

Andrew waved his wand, the land began to surge, and then submerged all the vegetation on it.

"That's about the size. If I don't use the limit spell, it will be around this range. It's already a waste..."

After observing the shape of the surrounding grass, he began to wave his wand - his skilled range transfiguration allowed him to repair the lawn in less than half a minute.

'Um? '

He looked at his surroundings, then at the results of his transformation—the color was higher, there were fewer weeds, and the orientation was too regular.

'Is that so? Practicing with templates all the time makes it impossible to fit in?'

Sitting down, Andrew thought for a few minutes, then waved his wand and began to gradually correct the loopholes in his Transfiguration.

Once you are familiar with it, this kind of small problem is easy to modify, and can even be compensated when casting the spell - but for this technique, do you need Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore to tell you together?
"It's a headache..."

Andrew sighed - but he couldn't think of a better explanation, and the degree of simulation at the moment was indeed an issue that could not be avoided. No matter what the deeper meaning was, he had to perfect the things at hand first.

'continue…'

This time the adjustments in other aspects were effective, but the degree of grass yellowing needs to be adjusted again.

-

"Over there, yes, look."

"Ah, yes, that's right, that Grim Ripper... area casting... ever heard of it?"

"So a patch of grass just appeared and then disappeared... Didn't Filch care?"

"Hehe, that makes sense. Go report it and let him see what's going on..."

……

People who hang out at dusk love life - especially watching the sunset by the Black Lake, it's so happy.

So, Andrew, who came out at this point and occupied one of the best areas in Black Lake, naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Especially the seniors - that area casting skill is indeed amazing, but that's no reason for you to disturb other people's dates, you bastard!
But I just couldn't afford to offend him - dating at dusk wouldn't violate any school rules, but it couldn't be limited to dusk, right? At least this guy didn't show up on campus to annoy people on a daily basis, what if he started arresting people at night like a prefect?
As for the goodness of practicing magic?

Le, what’s added is your Ravenclaw points, what does it have to do with our college?

If we don't report you for damaging the lawn today, we'd be incompetent!

-

"Looking at it this way, the difference is not even a little bit..."

It took Andrew a full hour to perfectly restore a single patch of lawn - and it was a highly targeted area.

"It can't be used tomorrow... Otherwise it will be the same as the lab. It's too idealistic..."

'hiss…'

Andrew calculated the lawn that was rubbed today, and then calculated the approximate place to turn over when he was about to practice, and he was completely scared...

Damn it, if he keeps doing this, the land near the Black Lake will be in jeopardy...

"And the Transfiguration that hasn't dissipated will cause an even uglier situation in a few days... The problem of unreasonable growth. According to my current Transfiguration attainments, the things I transformed will definitely not grow. What follows is..."

It doesn't matter if it's ugly - a privilege given by the principal, training by the Black Lake...

You can't just give up practicing Transfiguration just because it costs too much - this thing is more useful than Andrew imagined.

-

"It doesn't matter?"

The student who reported it looked at Filch with surprise.

"That was a huge patch of grass, and he just shaved it all off!"

"If you have permission, will you make it up later?"

...

The student who failed in the report returned to the Black Lake in disappointment and announced the unfortunate news - it was too late, the Black Lake had been contracted to the Grim Ripper, and from what Filch said, he came here every day, not just for one day.

How did Hogwarts become like this?

Is it still possible for people to have a good relationship?

Placing that Grim Ripper beside the Black Lake will have an indelible impact on the next generation of the entire wizarding world!

But no one could change it - fortunately, everyone discovered the next day that the Grim Ripper had no intention of patrolling and inspecting, he just moved the area slightly compared to yesterday, and stood by the Black Lake to practice Transfiguration - so it didn't have much impact.

After a week of continuous observation, everyone felt relieved.

Well, judging from the current situation, this Grim Ripper is not here to break up a couple or show off his muscles, nor is he here to patrol the lake and register to inform Filch. He just wants to occupy a place to practice Transfiguration.

That's all right - then date, then fishing, then card games, then picnic.

As for that cold-faced ripper? If you want to practice, practice. If you can't afford to offend him, just avoid him.

-

"No one has been arrested in over a week. Did that Taylor really go there to practice Transfiguration?"

Ron looked up from a book called "Curse Your Enemies: Starting with Your Hair" and asked curiously.

He has been obsessed with curses lately and is not well-informed about anything.

"probably?"

Harry lowered his voice, glanced at Madam Pince's position, and replied in a low voice, "His reputation has been much better recently than usual. It is said that it is because he has been practicing Transfiguration over there and doing nothing else."

"That's right. They're almost getting the same treatment as Fred and George."

Ron was overjoyed. "As long as you don't do anything, your reputation will automatically go up."

Harry burst out laughing at his brother's joke, causing Hermione next to them to stare at them.

"Oh my goodness, the Advanced Transfiguration Guide!"

Ron saw what Hermione was looking at and screamed, "Have you learned to this level, Hermione?"

"At this level?"

"That's Percy's textbook," Ron explained to Harry. "It's the textbook that even Percy has to study hard."

Harry was in awe - the pile of small bags Percy had brought last year had been far too impressive.

But he soon thought of more, "You are studying that, that, that range casting?"

Hermione frowned, "No, I was just checking ahead."

"But you only reviewed the third-year content last week, Hermione." "Yes, the professor said that Transfiguration is a very, very dangerous subject. You can't go too far ahead. This is not something that second-year students should be involved in at all."

Ron said very seriously, "Professor Flitwick also said that a spell that is too advanced will not give you a sense of success. Instead, it will affect your judgment of magic and can easily cause harm."

Hermione's face showed a bit of surprise and shyness. "I know the scale. I'm just curious about a magic and want to make some reference."

She tried to explain, but quickly gave up in frustration, picked up the Advanced Transfiguration Guide and left, heading towards the bookshelf where it came from.

"She's a little angry."

Harry lowered his voice.

"I'm not angry, but..." Ron lowered his voice, "She's not convinced, and probably still wants to take first place..."

"I don't think she has a chance... The seniors all say that Taylor's Transfiguration is good enough for advanced classes."

"Yeah," Ron said with a face full of longing, "I want to be able to attend advanced classes in the second year, too..."

"You'd better restrain yourself and do your Transfiguration homework yourself. Professor McGonagall just finished criticizing you."

"I have only read less than half of the extracurricular books for the first grade, and I haven't done anything in the second grade... Professor Flitwick said that I fell behind in the first grade..." Ron sighed, "I'm so far behind..."

Ron didn't listen at all and looked at the book in front of him with an obsessed look.

Harry didn't know how to persuade them - after all, everyone was used to copying homework, and he was really embarrassed.

Moreover, he had a strange feeling that he couldn't express.

Ron was actually also eyeing Hermione's number one spot - maybe Taylor had stimulated him, and he felt he could take first place in spells.

But, this kind of thing can't be said at all...

-

"There has been some progress, but... there is still a lot to go."

Andrew noticed the surrounding lawn and then stopped training for the day.

The difference in sparseness can be seen carefully, not to mention the distribution of weeds. The withering and yellowing problem has been solved, but the feeling of being trampled on cannot be imitated.

As for the morning dewdrops and the occasional small insects, they are things that you don't even need to think about - they are not the same at all.

Fortunately, the latter does not need to be considered at the moment, otherwise it would be simply despairing.

"Is training finished today?"

"Well, it's over. We can go back after we fix the lawn - how was the fish today?"

"so far so good…"

……

The net bag is empty, but let’s not mention such things that affect the atmosphere.

After saying hello again to a few seniors who were running around, Andrew started walking towards the castle.

Ok…

How should I put it? Ever since he came out for training near dusk, he had met many people in Hogwarts who liked to hang out, which boosted his enthusiasm for life.

Even the manuscript was going much more smoothly than before - it turns out that blindly working in isolation is not a good idea.

After referring to the thickness of the manuscript and calculating the subsequent supplement speed and the inventory, I think the new book can be published soon.

'Sneak into the Owlery tomorrow morning to post the manuscript...'

Andrew thought so, but soon put the matter deep in his heart - no rush, his current priority was to summarize today's training experience before dinner, so that he could summarize the training results during this period later.

Although Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore did not urge him to do so, Andrew still felt oppressed by the sight of his Transfiguration patches being destroyed every day.

"The time I squeezed out is not enough..."

He sighed and headed towards the castle.

-

"I'm coming!"

"finally come!"

When the publishing editor saw the plain, generic-looking owl, a smile naturally appeared on his face.

Yes, it’s this one!

A legendary manuscript was brought by this ordinary, nameless owl.

"I don't know what the article praising potatoes says..."

He was really curious about what kind of legendary history Dumbledore, who seemed so outrageous at graduation, would have when he graduated.

"It's good enough to have 80% of your ability, 80% is good enough... and don't slander others too much..."

It’s okay to be beaten by Dumbledore - there are few people in the entire wizarding world who are unwilling to appear in a legend and even be beaten by Dumbledore.

This was introduced in previous magazines - many people even said that their fathers were beaten by Dumbledore.

As long as you are not an obvious villain or a small fry who gets killed in seconds, if you can survive a few attacks, you will be able to show off your skills!
"Don't provoke the Saints too much. Durmstrang is causing trouble for the Saints again. Although I'm not worried about sales, I still don't want to suppress them too much..."

But who can do anything about this kind of thing?
Even if they praise Potato and say Grindelwald has problems, they can only try to make it round...

At best, this month's bonus is a dragonhide jacket for everyone - one that protects against lots of minor curses.

Oh, yes, if you praise Mr. Potato Head, you will also receive a gift...

"I don't want to think about this mess anymore. I need to read the manuscript first!"

……

OMG…

"Now we don't have to...even consider protesting."

“But it’s really quite interesting.”

He opened the manuscript, and at the very top there was a sentence that looked very, very, very tempting to read on.

'Gellert Grindelwald, I have seen three hundred futures in which you have attempted to succeed - none of them, and have found a way to defeat you among six hundred possible interceptions.

- Albus Dumbledore.'

So cool!

so perfect!

He looked at the title.

Dumbledore, the Legend: The Twins

'I love this title!'

He could basically determine the following plot.

Grindelwald's failure, Dumbledore's success.

But the most important part is actually the glorious first half of the two people’s lives.

No one would think that this was disrespectful to Grindelwald, no, it was simply a compliment - and no one would think that there was anything wrong with Dumbledore.

Even Professor McGonagall—the requirements mentioned by Hogwarts can be met!

Dumbledore thought about it, and it took him a long time to find a way to fight and win against Grindelwald! Dumbledore had nothing to do with the cult - he won with a determined and difficult battle!
