This is what Ravenclaw looks like..

Chapter 34 A mess
"There will definitely be another fight. No one will admit defeat."

In the lounge, Andrew was packing his backpack while discussing the scene he saw in the morning with his roommate.

"They're all mowing the lawn, how can they still fight?"

"It's good that they didn't fight on the lawn. Otherwise, everyone will go to the hospital, or something will happen, or those who call for help will be put in solitary confinement..." Andrew zipped up his backpack, "Just wait and see, it's a matter of time - I'm going to the library, is there anyone who wants to join me?"

"Today is the first day off this school year... My God... Andrew, even in Ravenclaw you are too hardworking..."

"You guys are just too smart," Andrew put on his bag and threw the blame away, "that's why you're putting so much pressure on me..."

He had watched Quidditch with his roommates in the morning, and he had to catch up on his homework in the afternoon. Professor McGonagall had told him before he entered school that some people were more knowledgeable than wizards who were about to graduate when they first entered school. This lag was too obvious, and he really couldn't help it.

"Wait, I'm going too!"

"Okay, count me in..."

...

In the end, everyone else in the dormitory was dragged to the library.

-

"Look at this spell!"

Hal lowered his voice and pulled Andrew back from the world of Transfiguration - the five of them occupied most of the long table, and Hal even came around from the opposite side to demonstrate.

[...

Here, I have to introduce a little evil curse that was very popular in our student days. It was very popular when we were studying.

It is not a spell officially included in textbooks, and it does not even have a fixed name among students. But this does not affect its usefulness at all.

We affectionately call it the 'Shoelace Spell' because this spell, invented by someone unknown, is mainly used to cast shoelaces. After casting the spell, it can make your opponent's shoelaces tightly entangled together, producing an effect similar to the Leg Locking Spell - but this is not its main use.

I think you must have guessed that this is the magic used in class, because even if this spell is just whispered, it can still make those annoying guys' shoelaces tied to the chairs...】

"How's it going, Andrew."

Hal grinned.

"Very cool," Andrew nodded - generally speaking, the strength of the spells cast by wizards has a lot to do with the sound. In the words of Professor Flitwick, the louder the spell, the more confident it is, and the stronger the spell.

It is only natural that this kind of curse that can be whispered to do bad things is popular among students...

"I'll copy it down and we can try it out when we get back... There are several more interesting spells like this in this book..."

Hal was very proud - he had looked through several books that looked good before he found this interesting one.

"Copy more, maybe you can collect enough Chocolate Frog cards this semester."

"That's for sure. Knowledge is a valuable asset."

Amid occasional interruptions, Andrew successfully completed the paper required by Professor McGonagall before dinner, while the rest of his roommates could no longer stay in the library.

After Hal, they found a total of five small evil spells that seemed to be worth trying to learn in the first year, and they were eager to try them out. Although there was still some time before dinner, considering that Madam Pince might blast others together, he returned to the dormitory with his roommates.

"It's time to test out new spells! Come on, everyone try one, and anyone who has a breakthrough can share it with others!"

"Just one for each person..."

Andrew stared at Hal with a suspicious look, "Are you sure you didn't stuff in some spells that are beyond our ability just because there's one for each of us?"

"They are all minor curses - and they are not cast on people. At most, they summon a bull. And I suspect that Professor Flitwick is lying to us."

It was a lie, of course - it just ignored the main idea and used the mistake of an adult wizard to warn the first-year students.

If all first-year students could cast a spell to create a cow, Hogwarts would have been trampled to the ground by the herd of cattle long ago - that was just a warning to discourage freshmen from casting spells with caution.

In fact, most of the spells that new students fail to cast have the effect that the feathers don't even bother to move, unless their casting motion is too far off and the wind from the wand is too strong...

Andrew got a very clever one, which was the magic trick that made the shoelaces move.

After thinking it over, he untied the laces from an old pair of shoes and began to try to cast the spell.

The others followed suit, and except for those who kept a distance at Andrew's request, they began to practice casting spells on the objects they had found.

……

"I doubt this spell is fake... Can it really make it rain on the forehead of the other person until this big glass of water is used up?"

"This quill is a bit sticky, but I think it's because my hands are sweating from holding it so many times..."

"Be content... let a book occasionally bite your fingers when you open it... Hal, are you really sure you didn't copy it wrong?"

"Same thing, no reaction... I suspect the book lied to me."

Hal himself was a little discouraged - he had tried hard to pick spells that looked like they could be used by a first-year student. These spells were all used on objects, and more difficult spells that could work on wizards were not something that rookies like them could perform.

"My results are not bad. At least the shoelaces are stretched, but tying the knots will take some time to practice," Andrew also shook his head disappointedly, "As for lowering the sound, I don't think I can do it in at least two or three months."

"Well... it looks like we're far behind... Only the one Andrew got has the potential to cast a spell, but I'd rather spend my time looking for more traditional defensive spells..."

Hal looked disappointed. "There's no hope for the Chocolate Frog Card. Let's go to the cafeteria early. Eating is important."

However, when they arrived at the cafeteria, another tragic thing happened - according to the well-informed Hufflepuff, today's dinner would have to be postponed for about half an hour.

Although the Hufflepuffs were reluctant to reveal more information, the truth about the matter was soon revealed.

In order to prevent the first-year students from starting another fight, Filch decided to keep watch personally (although Andrew thought he was planning to arrest someone again), so Peeves, the famous elf who was under close watch in the castle and was about to cause trouble, lost most of his surveillance.

And just a while ago, Peeves made a mess in the kitchen, got a pile of bread, and was bombarding the Gryffindors and Slytherins at the castle gate with their dinner, who had worked all day.

The war is currently going on intensely, but since it is Saturday, the seniors have gone to Hogsmeade and the professors are on holiday, so the war will not stop for a while...
