Chapter 256 Percy's Rage
"What did you do last weekend?"

In Professor McGonagall's office, Percy asked curiously - Andrew was absent from duty for two days over the weekend, which was a big blow to him.

Who doesn’t want to have a good date on the weekend?
As a result, the two-hour shift turned into half a day!
If he hadn't stopped her, Penelope would have caused trouble for Andrew - Weekend, it's so rude of you to do this!
"I'll take over three days of shifts for you this week. You can choose the time yourself," Andrew turned his head. "Magic has encountered an extremely difficult problem... and I guess it will be the same this weekend..."

"Okay... usually there are fewer people..."

Percy muttered. If it was someone else, he could still pat his chest and say that he could help with any problem - but after going to the Forbidden Forest together, he felt desperate about the magic progress of this freak Andrew...

"By the way, Hagrid came here last weekend and seemed to say that things were quiet in the Forbidden Forest - but your name seemed to be spreading among the centaurs..."

The contradiction was temporarily suppressed - but I don't know when it will completely explode...

But it was none of his business to care about that kind of thing. "Why should my name be spread around?"

"Before you say something like that, at least take responsibility... That centaur saw you cast a spell over there..."

Percy rolled his eyes. "Easter break is almost here - how are you going to choose your classes..."

Don't you think it's a bit too early?

Spring isn't even here yet, let alone something like the Easter holiday?

But this matter should indeed be put on the agenda - Hogwarts' courses are roughly divided into four categories.

A class that starts in the first grade and takes OWLs exams.

Starting from the third grade, students can take an elective class to participate in the OWLs exam.

Flying class, Apparition class and other classes that don't have OWLs exams (the latter has a separate exam certificate, but the former doesn't.)
And the most special alchemy, which has no OWLs exams but has NEWTs exams.

"Not sure. I think I'll use Muggle Studies to get credits. I'll probably take Ancient Magic Runes as an elective. Divination is too rigorous, and I don't think I have the talent for it... Maybe a magical creatures course wouldn't be bad..."

Andrew leaned back in his chair. "After all, I plan to work on spells when I have free time in my third year. I don't have much free time..."

"What a waste of luxury..."

Percy shook his head, "But it's better than that bastard Ron anyway. Do you know what my stupid brother did?"

???

Andrew instantly perked up—tell me in detail.

"He was called out by Professor McGonagall for a private talk because he copied the Transfiguration homework! This is a bad move that neither Fred nor George did!"

Percy looked very angry - well, the fact that the prefect's brother was an asshole was really...

But it shouldn’t be that serious, right?
Andrew remembered hinting several times that there might be something wrong with Ron's homework - so was this just anger at being called out?
"You need to persuade him. Transfiguration still has a very important weight in the score - but don't worry too much. He copied some of his homework, but it's not that bad."

"It's all plagiarism, what could be worse than this!"

Percy was more than a little annoyed.

"At least his copying is logical, there are no obvious mistakes, and there are no problems with symbols. If he really doesn't know anything, then his homework should be terrible..."

Andrew persuaded - he was not making this up, this was the truth. If you really don't study, you can even make the symbol for sum into something strange, and you can't copy the homework well.

Of course, no matter how different spells and Transfiguration are, there are some basic similarities. Looking at Ron's enthusiasm for studying spells, I can't say that he can pass Transfiguration with ease, but at least he will be a poor scorer. However, such words had almost no dissuading effect on Percy.

Not even a pass at Transfiguration!
Still his younger brother!

He also has to do odd jobs under Professor McGonagall's nose!
It's a disgrace to the entire family!
"What's the point of being angry, Percy? Calm down. Even if the child needs to be beaten, it won't be your turn. Anyway, the Easter holiday is just around the corner. You can write a letter to your family and trick him back home. Then you can give him a good beating and that's it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Andrew wanted to give himself a blow.

Is there anyone who advises like this?

This is just adding fuel to the fire!

At this point, people should be advised to calm down. He is used to it in the story and also brings it into reality - No, Andrew, you can't communicate with your friends if you do this.

Fortunately, Percy was not an impulsive person, and Andrew deliberately avoided the topic, so Percy did not explode in the end.

"We'll discuss this with him later..." Percy muttered, "Let's not talk about him anymore. I'm angry now. What about you, Andrew? How about Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and three days this week?"

"No problem, I'll be on duty at this time."

Andrew nodded.

-

"There are still tests to be done this week, Senior Nellie."

The new week passed quickly, and Andrew began his research on the Iron Armor Spell again - the requirements were not high, and it would be considered a success if he could figure out the changes in attributes this week.

But the reality was more interesting than he imagined.

Perhaps the theory of unity in alchemy was correct, perhaps the Armor Spell was not difficult to learn, or perhaps his accumulation of Transfiguration skills was strong enough.

All in all, by Saturday afternoon, he had easily figured out the correct way to operate the Armor Charm - the filling and flow of magic power, and a little bit of rules.

Not the rules of the spell, but... well, the rules by which the spell naturally works.

Magic, through spells and gestures, fills the framework of this spell that has been modified countless times - the construction and innovation of spells by predecessors are all modifications of its rules.

It's like our ancestors used gestures, spells, and wands to create a beautiful mold, and later wizards only need to understand this mold and then inject magic into it...

'So, in the end, spells can't escape this nature either... It's still about contact rules, but compared to Transfiguration, spells can be modified more gently, like you can use tools to modify a mold without knowing too much about the mold structure... You can even learn to carve the mold without being proficient in theory... Create some small evil spells... If you're lucky, you can even make a particularly beautiful one...'

"But in the end, you still need to understand the rules to construct your own spell more perfectly... and Transfiguration, which emphasizes change, has a higher threshold in this regard..."

"Interesting, really interesting..."

Andrew seemed to have got a toy - but he knew very well that he only knew the theory - he stuck out a wooden board from the Transfiguration Building and could see the scenery from high above the magic, but expecting to stand or even jump for a long time was completely seeking death...

"But... it wouldn't be a big problem to just get a bamboo pole..."

He waved his wand and began to deform the air around him, using magic to cause it to move as if he was feeling the Armor Spell.
