This is what Ravenclaw looks like..

Chapter 81: Promising Imitation
“It’s really amazing…”

At the dining table, Andrew couldn't help but open his mouth as he listened to his roommate Hal sharing the latest intelligence.

The Gryffindor prefects were incredibly active - in just a few days, they had already taken the initiative to cause trouble for Peeves several times.

Peeves even gave up his usual pranks and started targeting these Gryffindor prefects - but the effect was not very good. The senior students had an incredibly solid level of magical protection, especially when they were prepared. Peeves' little pranks could only make them a little embarrassed at best.

As for the legendary golden Peeves - no one knew whether there was an interval in that state or the Gryffindor prefects had found a loophole, but it had never appeared again after appearing three times. Those prefects were even able to escape in embarrassment after being defeated.

“I think they’re about to crack it.”

"No, I think it's too far away. They still haven't found a control spell that can work stably on Peeves."

"No, being able to retreat means we can continue testing steadily!"

...

The Ravenclaw students were all there to watch the fun and were not afraid of trouble. They were discussing things lively at the table, but most people also noticed an important thing during the discussion - the Gryffindor prefects couldn't have been so idle that they were looking for trouble with Peeves, right?
Could it be that, that's true?

Suddenly, the number of people in the library began to surge - when Andrew habitually came to the table he was most used to, he found that there was not even an empty seat...

"At least let's see something serious... Hogwarts, is there a special spell against Peeves in the history of the school?"

Andrew shook his head, and finally reluctantly went through the borrowing procedures for the book he wanted to read, ready to go out and read.

To be honest, he did not rule out the possibility that Peeves had some secrets - it would be strange to say that Peeves had no secrets when he could suppress the entire school for three whole days.

But that is obviously not as good as the biggest secret place on campus, the library.

He prefers stability. Even if someone really gets some treasure from the founding of the school through Peeves, he will only be a little envious and send his blessings.

He had no intention of pursuing the secret of Peeves anyway, so using it to exchange for some Galleons to buy extracurricular books and tutoring was also a way to uncover the secret.

"Talk to Senior Nellie about the Disillusionment Charm, and find Professor McGonagall to refine my ideas - first read all the information about the Disillusionment Charm..."

+ + + +
"A parody of the Disillusionment Charm?"

"Well, it's like this, Professor," Andrew nodded and handed over some guesses he had written. "I thought about the possibilities and investigated the principles of the Disillusionment Charm, and then determined that it has the possibility of imitation."

The principle of this spell, which can only be used by senior students, is actually very simple. It is to use the spell effect to allow the wizard to imitate the surrounding environment to the point where it is indistinguishable.

The main difficulty lies in the fact that the wizard himself is too resistant to spells, and casting spells on himself is somewhat dangerous.

So, Andrew's idea was to use the principle of the previous imitation of the Bubble Head Curse to create visual confusion - in simple terms, it was the outrageous optical invisibility principle plus a little fake layer.

The principle is simple to explain, and it is even better than the Disillusionment Charm in camouflage effects at certain angles. However, it is actually ridiculously fake at some angles, and can be regarded as camouflage magic at a specific angle.

"It's similar to your imitation bubble head spell, but it changes the form of the compressed air?"

Professor McGonagall thought about it, and waved her wand at her hair lightly - her hair changed color almost instantly. But the color was horrifyingly ugly - Andrew could only pretend not to care.

"Um…"

Professor McGonagall tapped her wand, and with every flick, the color of her hair changed dramatically, and the change became more and more outrageous - the color of her hair went from being abrupt before to being very natural, as if it had been born that way.

'Human body deformation?'

The thought flashed through Andrew's mind, and he quickly rejected it.

It was definitely not a human body deformation, but Professor McGonagall began to deform the membrane covering his hair based on the refraction problem he wrote in those things!

"A very brilliant idea, Mr. Taylor. If it works, then you will have mastered most of the abilities of Metamorphmagus..."

Professor McGonagall's tone became a little lighter. "Go to the experiment. I think you may still need these books..."

A piece of parchment flew across the table, and a quill quickly wrote the title of the book on it. At the end, Professor McGonagall signed her name on the parchment.

As she was about to hand it to Andrew, Professor McGonagall hesitated for a moment and finally said.

"Borrow these books and bring them to my office - after work is done each day, you can read the chapters I assign for half an hour and take notes."

what?
Andrew was stunned for a moment. He basically understood what the bibliography on the parchment was.

No - it's just an imitation of the Disillusionment Charm, Professor. A book in the Restricted Section is too much.

But Professor McGonagall obviously didn't think so, and her expression changed drastically, which was rare.

"Your idea is good, but don't publicize it too much in school - Transfiguration has always been the most dangerous spell, and not everyone is like you, who first learns the basics and then studies it.

"No, you are far from it, Mr. Taylor. You need more knowledge about Transfiguration before you can delve into the final part. You must get my permission before you can proceed with the part about human body transformation.

"At this stage, you can only refer to some of the contents in those books and only complete the problems related to the imitation of the Disillusionment Charm. In addition, do not spread this spell in the school, and do not teach it to other students."

Almost in the blink of an eye, countless restrictions were imposed on Andrew. This almost made him unable to react - but he did not dislike these restrictions at all.

High-end Transfiguration is no safer than dark magic - the most famous and dangerous magical creature, the Pentapod, is the product of human body deformation.

The deformation of non-magical creatures is not a big deal, but the deformation of magical creatures may even cause irreversible consequences - in the wizarding world, this is the same level of damage as dark magic.

"Okay, professor, I will be strict with myself. I will go and borrow the book now and put it in your office."

"Well," Professor McGonagall's expression softened a little, "Go ahead - by the way, you will need to work an extra half an hour tomorrow, so please adjust your time."

"Yes, Professor."
