Chapter 70 Andrew has no ill intentions towards Peeves
At the highest point of the entire castle, making a sculpture out of snow on the Astronomy Tower is not an easy task - without magic.
The artistic accomplishments of the upperclassmen in Ravenclaw were so high that Andrew was frightened. The snow cubes transported by the magic of the lowerclassmen quickly piled up and changed color under the wands of the upperclassmen. The speed was so fast that it was not like using snow. What to build, but to dig out the buried things from the snowdrift.
In less than an hour, a huge raven looking back stood at the highest point of the castle. Its left paw was hooked on the top of the tower, and its right paw was downward. It was deliberately dyed black and did not know what kind of magic was cast on it. The wings give the illusion of being colorful and black when illuminated by the sun.
"Perfect!"
After a few senior students expressed their admiration, they took Andrew and flew in secretly (obviously, if they were caught by Filch, they would have to go outside to clean up the snow...), and then several students secretly flew in Return with the broom.
As for the remaining people, they were immediately told that they could do their own thing - it was a bit ridiculously unorganized.
But Andrew had actually gotten used to it a long time ago. After secretly complaining that not many people would see this work, he left the lounge and continued to the empty classroom underground to prepare for the manuscript.
Today's events gave him some new ideas, which was helpful.

[Wizards are the darlings of magic, while elves are the embodiment of magic rules. 】
[Dumbledore looked at this sentence, still unable to understand the meaning of this gift from Gryffindor. 】
[Since returning from the early days of Hogwarts, he has not given up researching this book - but there is no record to refer to. 】
[He didn't understand that there were too many beings that could be linked to elves, but during the actual investigation, no one could give such a high evaluation. 】
[This troubled the young Dumbledore. He had never experienced such a great setback, except for a close battle when he was in school. 】
[The rare consecutive failures made him feel a little troubled, but it was more about his fighting spirit - as he likes to say, giving up is the real failure. 】
…
【Peeves...】
[Dumbledore finally found the answer, but this time the failure was even more tragic - he tried various magics, but was unable to fundamentally attack the real elf. And that power called rules also woke up from the years after his temptation...]
[The smile that represented the success of the prank sounded, but what greeted Dumbledore was not the little pranks in the corridor in the past, but a shrill chirping of cicadas - just like the last time! 】
[Everything in the castle begins to become illusory, just like last time, time is passing quickly, but the difference is that this time there is the smile of Peeves' successful mischief. 】
…
[Why are you holding a silly stick? 】
…
[Oh, those people, they are trying to catch that elf, it is the power of the spell - after it appears, it will fall some golden rain. As long as you drink that rain, your wishes will come true, that's it. We call him Lucky Spirit, born in the Fountain of Good Luck. 】
…
[Dumbledore still couldn't confirm the time of this chaotic era. Wizards didn't even have wands, but he was shocked by the terrifying extent of those magics. 】
[Black magic that is so terrifying that future generations cannot imagine it, potions with effects far beyond imagination, cruel magic experiments, and so-called elves who can create miracles with just a little bit of edge. 】
[Wizards chase them, worship them, hunt them. In just one month, Dumbledore had already met several elves whose abilities could only be reproduced by the most powerful potions. 】
…
[The chased Lucky Spirit finally did not escape the pursuit of the black wizard, and bravely committed suicide - and that land was where the main ingredient of the Elixir of Fortune would be most widely distributed in the future. 】【Dumbledore finally knows...】
Andrew stopped the pen in his hand and scratched his head.
No, this is wrong - his original plan was to use Peeves' elf identity to make a fuss, and then change the effects of various powerful potions to various elves.
But it is written that the taste has changed too much. This is completely inconsistent with the previous ability.
'Hell, what I wrote after a long day's work is useless. ’
He was essentially trying to get Dumbledore to put an end to this behavior, but the style was completely inappropriate.
‘This cannot be used as a reference. ’
He used his magic wand to destroy all the scraps and began to try another style.
[Wizards are the darlings of magic, while elves are the embodiment of magic rules. 】
[But as the open era passed, those legendary elves disappeared one by one. Only some ruins can tell how powerful those elves were at that time. 】
[That was an era before the rise of magic wands, and wizards did not have to hide. Wizards observed elves and imitated elves to master more powerful magic, thus transforming the entire continent. 】
[But what happened in the middle is unknown. However, after hiding, the wizards finally discovered a few weak elves and found a way to obtain their power - that is, to subdue them. 】
[Before Hogwarts was established, there were five extremely powerful elves. Gryffindor conquered one with courage, Ravenclaw conquered one with his erudition, and Hufflepuff conquered one with friendship. , as for Slytherin, he subdued one with a power unknown to others. 】
[Only the remaining elf, Gryffindor, left it in the castle, hoping that someone could get the essential power of magic from it. 】
…
[Dumbledore worked hard for a long time - but he had to admit that he encountered the biggest setback. 】
[No matter how he provokes the thing that most resembles an elf, he always fails. 】
[Perhaps, only by defeating it with a real prank can we gain its approval, right? 】
…
Andrew even wanted to pick up the original setting and rewrite it, but it would be troublesome later. He could just brag about it to others and arrange an affair for Dumbledore?
Just kidding, it’s not just hanging on the tower.
Moreover, after a smooth ride, a less obvious failure for Dumbledore didn't seem too serious.
'It needs to be revised again. The scrapped draft must not be used, and Dumbledore's gains must be added - although he did not get the approval of the only remaining elves. But when he forced the elf, he mastered the magic that Gryffindor used when fighting...'
After some corrections, Andrew nodded carefully - he returned from ancient times and obtained clues to decipher the remaining secrets.
‘Okay, just add a few more Dumbledore’s words of advice at appropriate places. ’
'The job of being named Slytherin just now is pretty much...'
He commented.
