Chapter 422 Analysis of Andrew's Curse
"What the hell is this?"

Andrew looked at the Daily Prophet and felt sick.

He had never expected that Dumbledore's bomb could catch so many fish.

He had thought about the fact that the magicalization of biotechnology would have a huge impact, but he had never expected that it would cause trouble among the pure-bloods.

Especially Durmstrang mentioned in the report, it is incredible that the place has even been placed under martial law.

"You can't be someone who loves learning black magic and randomly picked a classmate as material, right?"

Although it sounds ridiculous, this level of life has happened in Durmstrang before - yes, it really has.

Andrew looked up a lot of information about the first Dark Lord, and the most famous thing about him was that he was expelled from Durmstrang.

The reason for the expulsion was very outrageous, because even a group of dark wizards felt that Grindelwald's research on dark magic was too much...

It is hard to imagine how those who come after will learn from such a good example - they only recruit purebloods until now, and dark magic is a formal course that has never been cancelled.

Given that atmosphere, it's very normal for dark wizards to appear again.

"I can't control that side. Not to mention martial law, even if there are more serious subversive activities, there's nothing much to say," Andrew put down the newspaper and shook his head, not feeling anything special.

He never thought that he was the one who would inevitably bring changes to the wizarding world, nor did he think that the wizarding world could always ignore those advanced technologies and hide away in solitude. The earlier one thinks about progress, the less trauma it will bring.

Only a fool would have the naive idea that nothing would happen as long as they don’t have any contact - the fact that falling behind will lead to being beaten is already buried in their DNA.

Dumbledore's regulations are a good thing. Otherwise, if a bunch of cloned wizards really emerge and have to think about response strategies, then the wizarding society will really be blamed.

'With the addition of magic, social change becomes even more complicated. I have never been good at this. Fortunately, there are the headmaster and a lot of high-ranking people in the magic world to think about and sort out this issue, so I don't have to be the one who takes charge of the whole process.'

He waved his wand and the newspaper began to burn.

'I am not good at social hierarchy and new moral thinking. I'd rather try to make the wizarding world a better place, especially starting with the basics - like sorting out the spells first.'

Using a Vanishing Charm to get rid of the remnants of the newspaper, Andrew began to take out his textbooks and notebooks.

Go and have fun outside, there will be a better magical world after the fun - as for him, he has to start relearning first grade spells now.

Locking the door with a spell, he completely put all those messy things behind him and began to analyze the first spell in the spell textbook.

'Standard casting, levitation spell.'

Andrew suddenly recalled the first legend he had written - at that time he had not yet been persecuted by the editor of the magazine, and the caster was still a Gryffindor.

"Wingardium Leviosa."

He whispered the spell, but even without the skill of casting it aloud to increase its strength, the desk was still lifted with ease.

'How many sections are you counting now?'

Andrew put down the table with a smile and started thinking.

First of all, this spell is not a standard Latin spell.

But there is a strong correlation - there is no letter "w" in Latin. Wing should mean flying, not wings. Ardium should mean high, and it should have been arduus, and the suffix "ium" is a common suffix in Latin. Leviosa is even simpler, it is directly Latin, meaning to rise or lift up.

'After consolidating my knowledge over the past few days, I'm pretty sure about Latin, but the first spell is so difficult to pronounce - to be honest, does the dean really have no plan to have students learn Latin collectively?'

"However, considering the average level of students, it seems normal for them to learn gradually in the current advanced classes. After all, the pronunciation of spells is also a key skill..."

Throwing the unrealistic thoughts out of his head, Andrew confirmed one thing again - Miss Granger was really frying fish.

The dentist comes from a high-income family and can definitely afford the Latin tuition.

"I was wondering how she could learn so quickly, it seems she has the foundation there... But this is just her accumulated skills, there is no point in telling others, the initial education in the magic world is all tutored, how many people can teach Latin well?"

Andrew himself also relies on mathematics to catch fish, so it is naturally difficult for him to say anything.

What's more, the threshold for learning a new language is there. He is a fast learner. He has a previous foundation, and with the language learning legacy left by Professor Lockhart, he was able to master Latin in such a short time.

Even this requires one-on-one tutoring from the fat monk - even in the magical world, it is extremely difficult to find a ghost who can teach students in this way.

Since he couldn't think anyway, Andrew could only shake his head and start analyzing the next spell.

-

"Still reading in your room?"

"Yes, Madame Camille."

"Fortunately, he goes out for a run every morning," Mrs. Camille sighed. "I don't know what happened. According to the strict requirements of their Professor McGonagall, he was given a whole holiday. This is very unusual."

"Maybe he really was given a vacation. After all, if they wanted to abuse them, they couldn't have found a professor to teach them Latin. It's not a casual course, ma'am."

"That's right. His math is still as good as ever. Even if he really has a conflict with the professor, he can still get into a good school if he maintains his grades. It will also be convenient for exams later. So let's just leave it at that. His mental state is much better than before he went to that school."

Mrs. Camille nodded and ignored the fact that Andrew had been in the room for two weeks straight.

Anyway, Christmas is just a few days away, and we will all come out to celebrate and have some fun then.

"Wait a minute, let's take out the donated second-hand game consoles and let them have some fun during Christmas."

Mrs. Camille nodded. "Just make sure to count the numbers and don't let them go crazy."

"Yes, ma'am, life is much better now than before. We didn't even have decent toys before."

"Yes, before that, they were still busy fighting. That was a long, long time ago," Mrs. Camille shook her head. "Don't think about it. We have to check it at Christmas. They are not allowed to bring cigarettes and alcohol in. Especially those children who learn to smoke are not allowed to do so. We have to check them carefully."

"I will, ma'am. The cane is always at the ready."

There is no need to consider the time when using corporal punishment, even if it is Christmas - but this is not absolute, at least you have to change to a new one.

Just as the maids were preparing new canes, Christmas finally arrived.
