Chapter 408 Orthodox Experimental Rules

"Have you finished learning Latin? Very good, very good. I'll make a list of reference books for you."

In Professor McGonagall's office, Andrew was reporting to Professor McGonagall on his learning achievements during this period - with the help of magic and Professor Lockhart's learning techniques, he still spent a lot of time, but the effect was real.

Now he could finally roughly discern the pronunciation and original meaning of the spell, and could spend some time figuring out the process of its evolution.

This is very helpful, especially in learning spells which focuses more on the accuracy of spells, but unfortunately, Andrew only has the qualification to get started in this area of ​​research and has not done any specific work.

As for the study of the differences and evolution between the rapid casting of Latin spells and the more distant ritual casting, he even had to practice ritual casting for a period of time.

Although it sounds extremely strange, it is true that the more knowledge you have, the more unknowns you will discover.

"But now is not the time to consider the unknown. Instead, I have to complete the orthodox experiment arranged by Dumbledore. Otherwise, all my subsequent research will have to stop."

Without follow-up research, there would be basically no room for improvement in his transfiguration skills. This was absolutely unacceptable. He was not willing to rest on his laurels and just focus on a mere sugar conversion process.

The incident some time ago when the old professor almost got into trouble with a student made him pay special attention to the content that he needs to focus on learning next - wizard experiments require no less attention than Muggle laboratories, and every rule of the laboratory rules on both sides is not made up out of thin air, but is based on human lives.

While Andrew was thinking, Professor McGonagall had already written the list of books. When she handed it to him, she asked, "How are the other subjects going recently?"

"It's all fine. Charms are even easier to learn than before. Latin is the most direct help. Anti-Dark Arts and Magical Creatures are also fine. The rest of the courses are about the same as before."

Andrew thought about it for a moment and expressed his most intuitive feelings.

"It's pretty much what I expected," the professor nodded. "These books are some old editions of books collected by the library. They are the last batch of Latin textbooks. Irma and the others should have kept them properly. Now that you have learned almost everything, you should be able to adapt to them quickly based on your level of Transfiguration."

Latin textbook?
The Roman Empire fell before Hogwarts was founded!

Although his knowledge of magic history was average, Andrew still knew this kind of basic knowledge - was the magical world relatively backward?
It's worth looking into, but he doesn't have time to do it right now.

Reading Latin Transfiguration reversed the process of learning Latin to mastering it, and then learned the experimental rules, and then started his next stage of Transfiguration research - during this period, every time he saw the monster book about monsters, he wanted to tear the book apart, his hands were itching to do it.

Anyway, since no wizard will come up with the real fusion technology for a while, he is not in a hurry to start his new fusion experiment - he has to give others some hope so that they will join in enthusiastically. The pie is already big enough, and now it is time to wait for the brave ones to come.

"That's all. Just read the book Transfiguration in class. It's time for you to show up in class - as for your lab rules remedial class, well, go find Professor Snape now. Albus has already talked to him."

Professor McGonagall happily assigned Andrew new lessons and placed a pile of documents on Percy and Bob's desks. Percy, who had not yet started his internship, was currently taking over Andrew's work and was busy every day. It seemed that he would have to work overtime before Andrew could learn all the things in the laboratory.

-

"As for the laboratory rules, they are only in the potions section, right? No, they should be in the magical creatures section as well, but I guess Professor Dumbledore didn't expect me to learn well from the old professor."

That was true - the old professor himself had been on probation for many years, and if Dumbledore expected the old professor to teach the rules, he would be making things difficult for himself.

Professor Snape, like Filch, is a supporter of rules - but they adopt different methods. Mr. Filch prefers the old rules that he likes, while Professor Snape even teaches potions according to his own rules, which are completely different from the textbooks...

But Professor Snape's adaptation was not random, and the improved effects of the potions were indeed real and effective. When Andrew was in his first year, he specialized in Transfiguration and potions and was able to make barely excellent potions just by learning on the spot.

As for the parts that have not been changed, they are even more strict - the professor is so outrageous that he can tell where you are wrong and which step is not executed well just by looking at the work. There are many people in the school who scold Professor Snape, but no one doubts that the professor is a good-for-nothing - you know, even the popular Professor Black is called a vase professor by some students.

'I'll give you lessons on your own,' Andrew paused on the basement floor.

He used to come here often to write manuscripts and secretly earned a lot of Galleons in this dim place, but he never thought that he would take the initiative to wait for Professor Snape's class.

"If the Gryffindor students heard me, I would be considered crazy for doing this."

He knocked on the door and waited there.

Come to think of it, this was his first time in Professor Snape's office - although he had been ridiculed, he had never been put in confinement.

"Who?"

"It's me, Andrew Taylor, Professor Snape."

He felt a magic strike on the door, and the lock clicked.

"Protective magic is definitely not about locking the door... so cautious..."

"Come in, I'll arrange the time first."

Professor Snape's low but penetrating voice rang out, perhaps a little distorted because of the door.

Andrew opened the door of the room and entered, and finally, his whole mouth opened wide.

'I was so relaxed after learning Latin!'

This thought came to Andrew along with the magic wand, and he pulled out the magic wand directly, "Armor protection!"

The silver shield appeared on his body before the spell was cast. The Armor Spell mixed with the effect of Transfiguration seemed indestructible under the powerful Transfiguration, but Andrew still felt unconfident.

Because the opponent is a dark wizard!

A very very dark wizard!

Sneaking into the castle silently, and overpowering Professor Snape! Imitating his voice!
"I'm just trying out the recent cost-cutting Polyjuice Potion. No need to get too nervous, Taylor."

Professor Snape's voice rang out, and Andrew glanced at the table out of the corner of his eye. There was indeed an unknown potion.

As Professor Snape pointed his wand, the dark wizard disappeared.

Andrew breathed a sigh of relief—although the students all said that Professor Snape was a dark wizard, dark wizards and other dark wizards were still different.

It wasn't that he was discriminating, as he also had the Ugandan badge - but he really found it outrageous that the Dark Lord, a person of blood, could summon dark wizards.

If he really did that, the Dark Lord's power would be too strong to be imagined - if he doesn't defeat everyone, how could the pure-bloods admit defeat!
