Chapter 69: A Little Progress

Chapter 69: A Little Progress
Andrew hurriedly found an empty classroom far away from the crime scene and used Transfiguration to produce paper and ink. He used them to simply record Peeves' abnormality and then put the things aside.

The control of Transfiguration has been bothering him for a long time - Professor McGonagall told him that this kind of content is usually introduced in the second semester of the third grade. Although he has mastered most of the theories in the third grade, it will take at least the second year to get involved.

Moreover, even if one's magic power development is barely acceptable, it still requires a lot of practice to master this field that involves precise control.

It is completely different from the commonly used magic cleansing - cleansing only requires the identification of the subject, and those debris that are not within the scope of cognition will be cleaned up, while this partial transformation is to clearly grasp a concept in the mixed substance for casting.

To use the words of the reference book - if you master the art of cleanup you can find a job washing dishes in any restaurant, but once you have mastered the control of Transfiguration you can make a small fortune working as a herbalist.

Of course, it is still too early for Andrew to reach the level mentioned by the latter, and the essence of potions extracted at the so-called mastery level of the latter is something that only advanced potion making would involve.

The most basic application of this control in Transfiguration is the transformation of living objects.

It is not the simplest transformation of turning a beetle into a button, but the transformation of accurately finding the signs of life of a living object and then transforming it into another living being.

The former is something that students start training in the second year of Transfiguration class, while the latter is something that many fourth-year students can barely get to grips with.

In short, if he showed this to Professor McGonagall, he would be exempted from the exam and get an excellent grade in his second year class without a doubt, and in his third year he would only need to take a test on the previous content to get an excellent grade directly.

"Unbelievable..."

'Is it because of the practice during this period? Or is it because I was too emotional with Peeves?'

After several attempts, Andrew was able to basically separate and deform the mixed substances stably - the robe that had been soaked in water several times now had only a few wrinkles and no signs of having been so damaged by its owner.

"Professor Flitwick did say that a large part of the power of a spell comes from emotions, but I haven't studied spells in depth, so I don't know..."

Andrew's serious academic imbalance meant that his first-year foundation in spells made it impossible for him to solve this puzzle that might involve fourth-year content. After trying several more times, he decisively chose to hand the problem over to Professor McGonagall and just practice with the content he was currently familiar with.

'It's just that we have to wait a few days - Professor McGonagall is on vacation for a few days and won't be back until after Christmas.'

He shook his head, suppressed the urge to delve deeper into Transfiguration, and began to study the report on Peeves that he had recorded.

This kind of thing recorded with transformed ink will lose its transformation effect once the ink bottle is damaged, so it cannot be preserved for a long time. After writing it down, the records must be transferred quickly.

"It can be seen that many people have given up breakfast."

...

"Andrew?"

The Ravenclaw first-year, who had received no response to his small talk, shouted, and this brought Andrew back to his senses from his thoughts.

"Ah, sorry... I didn't get enough rest..."

"It's normal. We don't have any either. It's the holiday and everyone went to bed late - especially after yesterday's snowman battle..."

As soon as this topic was brought up, Andrew couldn't help but grin, but he quickly restrained himself.

The same thing happened on the other side - the two of them smiled knowingly and lowered their voices a little more.

"Which snowman do you think is the most beautiful?" "It must be Slytherin's," Andrew confirmed in a low voice - anyway, he had already grasped the idea just now, and now it was a good time to gossip about what happened last night.

"I think so too. The snowmen made by Slytherin students even feel like sculptures. I heard that many of them not only learn a little magic but also learn some art appreciation before entering school, just to show their uniqueness."

"But there are so many Gryffindors..."

"That's true..."

Last night, a group of Slytherins decided to secretly build a Slytherin statue made of snow to shock people from other colleges in the morning - Andrew didn't understand the specific idea, but that's what happened.

But Gryffindors are also a group of night owls - at the beginning, both sides were very restrained and decided to win with statues, but when they were almost finished, the Gryffindors found that their craftsmanship was not as good as the opponent's, and they were mercilessly ridiculed...

It was only natural that the conflict would escalate afterwards.

Although both sides exercised restraint and maintained respect for the founder's statue and did not push down the other side, the statue was fine but the living people suffered. Both sides fought in the dark with snowballs until late at night, and then they discovered that the other side had wrapped ice and stones, and some even mixed in colored liquids.

Afterwards, the two dissatisfied parties had a second conflict, but it was stopped by Mr. Filch. The tragic battle was also known by the other two colleges. Although no one was admitted to the hospital, both sides sacrificed a lot of reputation...

This was also an important reason why Andrew was worried that they would fight again today - in the fireplace meeting last night, the remaining Ravenclaws made a rare unanimous decision. After the two sides had fought for a while, they also put up the sculptures of their own college, so that when looking outside from the castle, the other two colleges would not be the only ones in the limelight.

Since it was led by the only class leader who stayed in school, and everyone felt really ashamed, they finally reached a consensus and just waited for both sides to finish fighting to avoid accidental injuries.

But what Andrew didn't expect was that the results came out when he returned to the common room after his routine familiarization with the documents in the morning.

"We don't make Ravenclaw statues anymore."

The prefect stood happily in front of the fireplace. "We'll use ravens! And we'll put them on the spire of the astronomy tower - I've borrowed a lot of brooms!"

"it is good!"

"That's how it should be!"

The remaining Ravenclaws were unusually motivated - one could only say that the prefect was worthy of being a prefect, as he immediately raised their expectations.

So, after a simple meal, the Ravenclaws began to work at the highest point of the school - this job was not difficult, even the first-year students could use the extremely skilled levitation spell to provide snow blocks for the sculptures, and the overall shaping was done by the seniors, who tried their best to press the two sculptures underground.

"New students, please be safe!"

While Andrew was happily collecting snow, a senior Ravenclaw handed him a long rope with the other end tied to the tower, "Be prepared to be safe!"

???

Andrew was stunned.

"Tied around your waist, safety first, all of you juniors must tie yourself to the tower!"
