Chapter 367 Arrangements for Andrew

When Professor McGonagall arrived at Dumbledore's office, she was extremely surprised to find that Dumbledore was actually dealing with letters.

"What is it, Minerva?"

Dumbledore smiled and put the letter in his hand on the table. This abnormal behavior made Professor McGonagall immediately realize that her old friend Albus was in an extremely busy state at the moment - only in this abnormal working state would Dumbledore be enthusiastic about his work.

"Some documents need to be approved."

Professor McGonagall said with some concern, "But, Albus, what's your side?"

"It's as confusing as expected. I can't find any trace of Mundungus through any channels. Even when I asked Alastor to look for him, he couldn't find any trace."

Dumbledore sighed and stared at the map spread out on the table. "Where is he hiding?"

"No news from Peter either," Professor McGonagall added.

"Peter is not as important as the other side. If he can hide for ten years, he can hide longer," Dumbledore said affirmatively, his eyes firm. "But as for Mundungus, I can't figure it out. I investigated for possible signs, but didn't find any movement at all."

His finger slid quickly on the map, but he didn't circle the specific location in the end. "Let me think about it again, and think about what he will do. By the way, Minerva, how is Andrew's Transfiguration?"

"The first self-transfiguration experiment started this week," Professor McGonagall put the documents on the table, "When he reported to me yesterday, he felt confident."

"It's not unusually fast," Dumbledore said with a smile on his face. "It's earlier than I expected. He is too self-disciplined."

"Yes, they are too self-disciplined," Professor McGonagall sighed, "but the problem lies in the excessive self-discipline. Transfiguration is still a matter of talent. The second-year student completely controls his emotions and has introduced the art of Occlumency. This is the problem."

As the head of Gryffindor, she had never met such a worry-free student, but because he was too worry-free, he became a bothersome person.

Last year, apart from hanging out with Percy, I did nothing but practice Transfiguration. After class, I had some free time, apart from hanging out with my roommates, and the rest of the time I went to the library.

Being studious is a good habit, but being too studious is a good habit - after all, Granger still has two friends who hang out with him every day. Although each one is more troublesome than the other, at least they don't have any emotional problems. Taylor might as well just study and study.

"Didn't he make any friends in the student union?"

"No, they are all seniors over there, how can they play together?" Professor McGonagall sighed, "I adjusted his study and work schedule this semester, and even applied for a time-turner for him from the Ministry of Magic, but he still spends a lot of time studying. Fortunately, the human body transformation was blocked during this period, so he had more exchanges with his classmates in the same college."

"Is this the first time you've had a problem with a student being too eager to learn, Minerva?"

Dumbledore laughed, "But it was much the same when you were studying."

"But I still have a lot of good friends, and we still maintain correspondence," Professor McGonagall retorted in a rare move - although she always felt a little ashamed when she corresponded with Augusta in the past three years, the number of letters was not small.

But what could she do? Longbottom's performance was indeed not satisfactory, but no one could deal with the problem of magical talent.

"Anyway, at least he has stable vacation time and the desire to communicate with his classmates. If there is no improvement this semester, Andrew's chores must be stopped next semester. A stable and healthy mood is very important for a wizard."

Dumbledore stated his decision with a smile, but his tone was firm enough to deny rejection.

He has already missed it once and cannot afford to create another tragedy.

"That's inevitable, but what's reassuring is that he doesn't have an excessive desire for power. He just simply likes Transfiguration," Professor McGonagall nodded. "But anyway, Bob should probably learn more about his job. Taylor has been with him for a long time."

"Then let's arrange it this way, Minerva. After Taylor finishes his Transfiguration spell tomorrow, we will discuss the next arrangements for him."

"Well, Albus, just wait for the results. However, I think tomorrow will be another unexpected success," Professor McGonagall nodded and suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Albus, mark the documents."

-

"That's about it, the kitchen is over here," Andrew pointed out the location of the kitchen, but he did not take the two younger students in - he was not hungry at all at this time, and if he did not ask for something after entering, the expectant looks of the elves would make him feel like he was committing a crime.

"That's great, thank you very much, Senior Taylor."

Eve thanked him very happily and said goodbye - the Hufflepuff common room was nearby, and she couldn't wait to go back and share the candy from Hogsmeade with her friends.

"I'm going to the library, Senior Taylor."

Luna also said goodbye at the same time.

"library?"

Andrew was stunned for a moment and glanced at the magazine in his hand - he hadn't read it today, but there were a few introductions to spells in it that actually interested him.

"How about we go together?" Luna invited.

"Well, let's go together. I also want to read it carefully."

Andrew raised the magazine in his hand and said, "The reading atmosphere in the library will be much better."

He is adjusting his state at will at the moment, and he doesn't feel like he needs a rest when he wants to read.

-

"Interesting, you can play it this way..."

There is a reason why Today's Transfiguration is the highest journal of Transfiguration, and Andrew easily found a spell discussion that he was interested in and should be able to replicate.

"It's interesting to break this line of thought. It's interesting."

He really wanted to make a comment or something, but for the convenience of the party today, he did not bring those things with him.

'Go borrow it from Madam Pince, it won't be a problem.'

"Are you looking for a pen, Senior?"

Luna on the other side handed over her quill and ink.

"Thank you for your help," Andrew took it very happily, and then quickly wrote and drew on the magazine - yes, this model can be done in theory, but if you cheat on the rules, then...

He happily wrote down his conclusion - all he had to do was practice restating it later.

"Tomorrow - forget it, I won't plant the flag. I can practice whenever I want."

After finishing all this, Andrew nodded with satisfaction and pushed the quill and ink back. "Thank you very much, it's a great help. Otherwise, I would have to make a guarantee with Madam Pince to get it done."

"Things like taking notes may get you accused of being careless, but Madam Pince isn't that harsh, is she?"

"That's what you'll do if you accidentally write down your inspiration in a book like I did."

Andrew said this with some fear - he had treated it as his own textbook at the time and had written an extremely brilliant idea in the book.

Then, there was a terrible disaster.

He shook his head and glanced at the book Luna was reading. "This book, um, I don't recommend it. The author is too long-winded. He emphasizes the issues that can be explained clearly in a few words over and over again. Moreover, it is a bit old. You try it. Forget it. I'll look for it. I remember I read it before."

He headed for the bookshelf and brought over two books he thought were suitable - any more would easily scare beginners, but these two introductory books on Transfiguration would be great for second graders.

"Try these two," he returned to his seat and handed the book over, "They will be much more organized. The library has a very comprehensive collection of books, and many outdated reference books are preserved."

"Thank you for your help," Luna said with a grateful expression, "I don't have a good foundation in Transfiguration, and I find it very difficult to learn on my own, especially since Professor McGonagall started teaching me spells this semester."

She shook her head—obviously, deeply troubled.

"It is a bit difficult," Andrew nodded. Although he learned quickly, he was not so fast that he could not distinguish the difficulty. "Of course, not casting spells for a long time during the summer vacation is also an important reason."

He simply gave a little trick - but surprisingly, the other party's understanding ability was higher than he thought, and Luna almost understood the meaning immediately.

But the overall foundation is still very poor, but it can be seen that he has studied hard, but he just hasn't got started.

"Go back and read these two books," Andrew took a piece of parchment from Luna and wrote down the titles. "They are a bit difficult to pronounce and will take some time to read because they are more professional, but they are quite helpful."

"I will. Well, although it looks a little scary, I will read it carefully. Thank you very much, Senior Andrew."

"You're welcome."

Andrew waved his hand and pointed to the book in his hand. "I have to do an experiment. I have to go first."

"See you."

"Goodbye."
