Chapter 369 The Dreaded Hogwarts

“It went incredibly smoothly.”

After Andrew left, Dumbledore came out from the inner room happily and sat on the chair. "He doesn't have the stubbornness and short-sightedness of ordinary wizards. He is really a young man worth looking forward to."

"Yes, young minds are good at discovering different things. I am also looking forward to seeing which project Taylor will use to conduct his own unique Transfiguration research after he has mastered all the Transfiguration techniques."

Professor McGonagall nodded. "At least Madam Pince is happy with the change now - lighting is so important."

"Yes, change," Dumbledore nodded. "Since there were no accidents during the first casting of the spell, I am relieved. I have to go back to the office and keep an eye on it, Minerva."

"And these documents, Albus."

Professor McGonagall handed over the document that she had prepared long ago in a timely manner, with an extremely natural expression.

-

"It went better than expected. We still have some time... Let's go check out the information about Hogwarts."

After completing the first test of the human body transformation more smoothly than expected, Andrew felt extremely relaxed - after overcoming the difficulties of the first casting, all that remained was to become familiar with the casting and control the strength.

This event was quite worth celebrating, but the way of celebration he was familiar with could not be found in Hogwarts or even Hogsmeade, and it was even more difficult to buy alcohol.

Studying was not suitable either, so he could only find some extracurricular books to read to kill time - Professor McGonagall had just provided a good choice.

Although he had carefully read a history of Hogwarts, he was not overly impressed by the cruel punishments that Professor McGonagall had mentioned.

"It can't be like in the game, where the whole school was filled with chaos and duels more than a hundred years ago."

Thinking about the exaggerated expressiveness and terrifying power of the Chain Avatar in the game, he even wanted to laugh - ancient magic might exist, but something like the Chain Avatar was too exaggerated, even the Dark Lord himself hadn't come up with it.

"Speaking of which, the first volume is a legend, and it also describes Dumbledore's schooling. It's just something the editors came up with at random. As a result, they rushed to write the first volume, and the subsequent volumes were serialized. If readers didn't only care about Dumbledore, there would be too many loopholes to look at..."

Such pleasant thoughts emerged in his mind, causing Andrew to smile whenever he met anyone today.

"Good morning, Madam Pince."

"Good morning, Taylor, how can I help you?"

"I want to look up some of the school rules from the past hundred years, because I heard some scary rumors today."

Andrew responded with a smile.

"School rules?"

Madam Pince was stunned for a moment—she hadn't seen anyone interested in borrowing books in several years.

"There is nothing like this in the library, but Mr. Filch must have a copy. However, I suggest that you don't show it to your classmates. If you ask me, Dumbledore's second greatest achievement after taking office is to cancel or weaken most of the outrageous punishment regulations."

"What is the greatest one?"

Andrew asked curiously.

"Safety lights were installed in the library."

Madam Pince gave an answer as a matter of course, one that no one could fault.

-

'hiss…'

In Filch's office, Andrew gasped.

He looked at the records in front of him and began to doubt his life.

No, wasn’t it that wild back then?

The administrator, Mr. Filch, is not here now, but he generously shared his "treasures" with Andrew. And Andrew was able to get a glimpse of the daunting school rules and victims of Hogwarts in the past.

Mr. Filch's predecessor as caretaker was Mr. Apollyon Prinlo, and in that era when Dumbledore was still a student, the school rules were horrific.

'Whip, rope, stick...'

Andrew put down the record. "What the hell, is this a school or Azkaban? Dementors wouldn't fall for this, would they?"

Andrew even saw these punishment records, which were not excessive even in Azkaban, on people he knew - Mr. Weasley's name was on the record.

[Arthur Weasley, Gryffindor, staying out past 4am, 100 lashes with the cane.]

It's four o'clock in the morning. If you don't come home all night, you will be beaten with a hundred sticks.

Andrew checked the time - Dumbledore had already become the headmaster, but the abolition of the previous school rules was still being gradually implemented.

"That's too bad. Just wait a little longer."

But he could only say that he was worthy of being a Gryffindor - he just didn't know why he stayed up until four o'clock, anyway, it was not written in the records.

As for when Dumbledore entered school, it was even more terrifying. Not to mention the corporal punishment from the administrators, even students unexpectedly greeted each other with duels.

"It's unexpectedly true..."

Andrew could only say that he was amazed - but that was all. Although Mr. Filch might really think that such punishment was okay because he was a person of that time, it was better not to do such things.

He felt that his method of solitary confinement was harsh enough, and the corporal punishment was really too much.

Hanging students up for a night would have been fine if it happened when Dumbledore entered school, but at least not now - he usually thought Professor Snape was a bit too much, but compared to the school rules back then, Professor Snape seemed very approachable.

'I can't read it anymore, I can't read it anymore, this thing is too scary, but it seems that I can use it to make a subtle mention in the new chapter, as a legend of Dumbledore's warmth, but I have to make up for it by replying to the letter, I don't want to be hung up on the Astronomy Tower.'

'Just record it as an outline first, and consider adding anything later.'

"Hal, how's the investigation going?"

In Andrew's dormitory, when Hal appeared at the door, even Hughes, who was buried in the History of Magic textbook, raised his head and looked at Hal curiously to see what explosive news this reserve reporter who claimed to be well-informed had brought.

"Nothing, like nothing happened."

Hal waved his hand. "The only weird thing was that he went to the library with a junior girl yesterday. But, how should I put it? After the gathering of the 'student representatives' of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, he brought two with him when he returned to school."

"But the other one didn't go to the library with me."

Kevin looked gossipy.

"The other one is from Hufflepuff, and the remaining one is from our house, the second year one, yes, Luna."

"Oh, from our college."

Everyone lost interest - what's so unusual about a Ravenclaw going to the library? Going back to the common room is far and tiring, and there's a chance that you won't be able to get in. The library is so comfortable.

"Luna, do you like going to the library?"

Xius didn't read the book, but asked curiously.

"Of course I looked it up. He's the type who loves to go to the library. He likes to read all kinds of adventure stuff and knowledge about magical creatures. He also likes those weird rumors. He's also quite keen on divination. In short, he's the type who often goes to the library to read miscellaneous books and share weird knowledge. He's quite crazy," Hal said proudly. "I definitely looked into it carefully. The other one too."

"Then there's no news. We just went to the library together." Kevin waved his hand in boredom. "It seems that Andrew is really tired. After all, he was on duty for half a day yesterday. It's boring. I thought there was some amazing gossip."
