Chapter 69 A Little Progress
Andrew hurriedly found an empty classroom far away from the crime scene and used transfiguration to get paper and ink, and used them to briefly record Peeves' abnormality, and then put the things Put it aside.
The control of transfiguration has been bothering him for a long time - Professor McGonagall told him that this kind of content is usually only introduced in the second semester of the third grade. Although he has mastered most of the theories in the third grade, he must at least Only the second grade can be involved.
Moreover, even if the magic power development is barely qualified, it will take a lot of practice to master this field involving precise control.
It is not at the same level as the commonly used magic to clean up. To clean up, you only need to confirm the subject, and the debris that is not in the cognitive category will be cleaned up, and this partial transformation is to mix the mixed matter. A concept explicitly grabbed for use in casting spells.
In the words of the reference book - if you master cleaning, you can find a job washing dishes in any restaurant, but once you master the control of transfiguration, you can make a small fortune working as a herbalist.
Of course, the level mentioned by the latter is still too early for Andrew to reach, and the magic potion essence extracted by the latter's so-called proficiency level is something that only advanced potion production can dabble in.
The most basic application of this kind of control in transfiguration is to deform living objects.
It is not the simplest deformation of turning a beetle into a button, but a deformation of accurately finding signs of life in a living object and then transforming it into another living being.
The former is a training that starts in the second grade of Transfiguration class, and the latter is something that many fourth graders can barely scratch the surface of.
In short, if he shows this to Professor McGonagall, he will undoubtedly be able to get excellent grades without taking the exam in his second-year class. In his third-year class, he will only need to test the previous content to get excellent grades.
'Unbelievable...'
‘Is it because of this period of practice? Or is it because I'm too emotional about Peeves? ’
After several attempts, Andrew was able to basically separate and deform the mixed material stably - the robe that had been soaked in water several times now showed no signs of being so damaged by its owner except for a few wrinkles.
'Professor Flitwick has said that a large part of the power of curses comes from emotions, but my research on curses is not in-depth, so I don't know...'
Andrew's serious bias towards science made it impossible for Andrew's first-grade curse knowledge to answer this puzzle that might involve fourth-grade content. After several more attempts, he decisively chose to hand the question over to Professor McGonagall, whom he was currently familiar with. Just practice the content.
'We just have to wait a few days - Professor McGonagall just took a few days off and won't come back until after Christmas. ’
He shook his head, suppressed the urge to study further the Transfiguration, and began to study the reports he had recorded about Peeves.
This type of thing recorded with deformed ink will lose its deformation once the ink bottle is damaged. It cannot be saved for a long time. After writing down, these records must be transferred quickly.

“It can be seen that many people give up breakfast.”
…
"Andrew?"
The Ravenclaw first-year student who received no response from his small talk shouted something, which brought Andrew back to his senses while he was thinking.
"Ah, sorry... I haven't had much rest..."
"It's normal. We don't have it there either. Everyone fell asleep a little late during the holidays - especially the snowman battle yesterday..."
As soon as this topic was brought up, Andrew couldn't help but grin, but he quickly restrained it.
The same thing happened on the other side - the two of them smiled knowingly and lowered their voices a bit.
"Which snowman do you think is the better looking?" "It must be the Slytherin one," Andrew confirmed in a low voice - anyway, he had grasped the idea just now, and now he was just gossiping about what happened last night.
"I also think it is. The snowmen of Slytherin students even feel like looking at sculptures. I heard that many of them not only learn a little magic before entering school, but also learn some art appreciation and the like, just to show off own uniqueness.”
"But there are so many Gryffindors..."
"That's true..."
Last night, a group of Slytherins decided to secretly build a sculpture of Slytherin made of snow to shock the rest of the houses in the morning - Andrew didn't understand the specific idea, and that was what happened.
But Gryffindors are also a group of night owls - at first, both sides were very restrained and decided to win with statues. However, when they were almost finished, the Gryffindors found that their craftsmanship was not as good as their opponents, and they were ruthlessly ridiculed...
The subsequent escalation of the conflict was understandable.
Although both parties restrained their respect for the statue of the founder and did not push the other side down, the statue was fine and the living people suffered. The two sides fucked with snowballs in the dark until late at night, and then they discovered that the other party had wrapped ice cubes and Stones, and some even mixed in colored liquids.
Subsequently, a second conflict broke out between the two dissatisfied parties, but they were stopped by Mr. Filch. The tragic fighting situation was also learned by the other two colleges. Although no one entered the hospital, both sides sacrificed a lot of reputation...
This is also an important reason why Andrew is worried that they will fight again today - during the fireplace meeting last night, the remaining Ravenclaws made a rare unanimous decision. Sculptures have also been built, and when looking outside the provincial castle, the other two colleges look more beautiful than before.
Since he was the only prefect who stayed in the school to take the lead, and because he really felt that his face was disgraced, everyone reached a rare consensus and waited for both sides to finish fighting to avoid accidental injuries.
But what Andrew didn't expect was that when he returned to the common room after his routine familiarization with documents in the morning, the results came out.
"We're not making statues of Ravenclaw anymore."
The prefect stood happily in front of the fireplace, "We used ravens! And we put them on the spire of the astronomy tower - I borrowed a lot of brooms!"
"good!"
"That's how it should be!"
The remaining Ravenclaws were unusually motivated - it can only be said that the prefect is worthy of being a prefect, and the sense of expectation was immediately raised.
So, after a simple meal, the Ravenclaws began to work in the highest place of the school - this work is not difficult, even a first grader can use the extremely skilled floating spell to provide snow blocks for the sculpture, and the overall The whole process of modeling was done by the senior students, and they strived to push the two sculptures into the ground.
"New students, please be safe!"
While Andrew was happily collecting snow, the senior Ravenclaw handed over a long rope with the other end tied to the tower, "Be prepared for safety!"
? ? ?
Andrew was stunned for a moment.
"Tie it around your waist, safety first, you juniors will all be tied to the tower!"
