Chapter 30 New Exercise Direction
“It’s really tragic...”
"Indeed."
After the spells class, Andrew and his roommate Kevin said with emotion.
Not only the two of them, but the others also looked at the captured student with pitiful eyes - after a student seeking death appeared in Professor McGonagall's class, it turned out that Flitwick Such tragedy also occurred in the professor's classroom.
After catching the daring boy, Professor Flitwick used the new spell he learned today - the Elimination Curse, and left a very clever homework for the unlucky guy.
As a dispelling spell for first-year students, its power is pitiful. Its greatest use is to erase wrong words written on parchment. It can't even clean up the used garbage on the table. However, Professor Flitwick A large section of text was eliminated on each page using spells of varying strength.
He kindly told the arrested student that if the part that should be restored in the next class is not restored by the counter-spell, or the part that should not be restored is restored, then the student who has not completed the homework can go and help Feier. Mr. Qi has done some chores.
Anyway, everyone is very happy to hear this plot, and Andrew is no exception, and even happier - if Dumbledore feels that reading miscellaneous books in class will be punished one more time and then has the motivation to settle accounts, he will be miserable.
However, by lunch time, Andrew knew one thing - only those who were caught were those he saw, and there were also those who were not caught and those who did not attend class.
Anyway, by noon, the content about the new serialized part of "Dumbledore: A Legend" has been circulated around the dining tables of various houses.
Andrew, who was shocked by the editors' saucy maneuvers, did not include the heroine in the manuscript this time, and judging from the discussion at the dinner table, the editors were not that crazy - but they were just not crazy about this part.
Ever since, Dumbledore, who was still a student, rode a broomstick on the Astronomy Tower and flew up to the secret treasure left by Ravenclaw at the top of Hogwarts (purely edited and original content, Andrew commented that there is no Live hard, the treasure was in the last issue).
During the Quidditch match, he chased the out-of-control snitch and strayed into the Forbidden Forest, taming the fire dragon (Andrew's original content was that he captured the castle's Forbidden Forest from the dragon, which must have been a private product of an editor who likes Quidditch), and He used the fire dragon to skip classes and left the castle (the original text was to use the Forbidden Forest to escape from the castle with many traps, and decided to use it to build Hogwarts after the adventure, so Andrew frowned when he heard this).
There is no doubt that due to the limited editing capabilities and Andrew's deliberate mischief, the holes in the story are getting bigger and bigger.
'Sure enough, blindly escaping is not a good solution... This will make Dumbledore look like a master of skipping classes, and I'm afraid something will happen to everyone...'
'It's still possible to come back... We can't let Dumbledore ride a dragon to skip classes all the time, let's add campus life...'
While listening to their discussion, Andrew quickly added the outline of the story.
Dumbledore, who was both good in character and academics, easily won the first place in the grade. However, not satisfied with this, he drank Polyjuice Potion in the second grade and exchanged exams with another of his admirers, and easily passed the exam in the fourth grade. Got first in the exam (Gryffindor people must like this, Andrew commented).
Then try to abbreviate Dumbledore's campus trip as much as possible, and write campus life as a way for him to adjust his life after being tired from adventures during the summer vacation (Andrew plans to sort out his thoughts and will add more later).
Time travel is officially put on the agenda. It’s not a major event that we won’t participate in. The time is set to be during the summer or Christmas vacation.
…
'Let's do this first, send a letter to the editorial department... to communicate the positioning of the next issue of the manuscript. In addition, I also have to get a revised story to see what's going on...'
Andrew was not very happy to kill the last bit of ice cream balls, "Gallons are not that easy to get..."
There was a herbal medicine class in the afternoon. He had to go to class after finishing writing the letter, so he had to make do with this version first.
++
“I reluctantly accepted it, but we must communicate carefully about the next issue of the manuscript. Leaving the campus all the time is not good. Although the public likes it very much, Dumbledore will have to drop out of Hogwarts... "
In the editorial department, the editors who reviewed the readers' feedback finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no errors in this issue's feedback - but if the fire dragons were defeated, they would not know what kind of work to use in the story. Fortunately, that ordinary owl sent a life-saving gift. In the letter, the author with the pseudonym Praising Potatoes finally agreed to use the Dumbledore line in the original manuscript and partially revealed the subsequent content.
"A work of genius!"
"Go back in time and participate in historical events!"
"Dumbledore vs. Gryffindor!"
"In the follow-up, it can even suppress the rebellion, end the war, and use the Elder Wand to create a refuge village suitable for wizards to live in!"
"Genius imagination!"
The editor whose mind was opened didn't even wait for Andrew's manuscript for the next issue and started looking for stories - it would be great if they could be appended to the new story without destroying the overall structure!
——
Andrew, who was unaware of the editors' saucy operations, was currently writing purchase orders.
He found a great inspiration while thinking about Dumbledore's magical story, which he is currently perfecting.
'It's a pity, it would be great if I had a mobile phone that could make purchases...'
After searching for half a day for sports items that could be purchased with Owl, Andrew chose to give up - what he needed was a table tennis ball, a golf ball, a baseball, and enough large discs, but no one in the wizarding world played these. thing.
"We can only rely on the omnipotent transformation technique..."
Although he himself was unreliable, it was different in the senior year - especially since Andrew was affiliated with an unreliable club.
"ball?"
"Yes, the Quaffle, the Bludger, and a smaller ball that looks like a Snitch..."
"The appearance can be changed, but they can't do their effect at all - what do you want these for?"
"Suddenly I have become a little interested in Quidditch, and I want to try practicing, but I guess I can't handle a real ball, so I want to practice with a ball of similar size."
"It's quite simple...we just need to find two sticks..."
The other party patted his chest and said, "Although it is not a permanent deformation, it will be fine if it lasts for a month or two. I will write you another note. When you plan to practice with a real ball, you can borrow it from our hospital team. I I’m good friends with their captain.”
…
Although Andrew was very grateful for the other party's help, he couldn't help but complain about what should have been an introduction instead of a note.
How should I put it? Although the cohesion of our college community is very strong, it is a bit too bureaucratic...
