Chapter 367 Arrangements for Andrew
When Professor McGonagall came to Dumbledore's office, she was extremely surprised to find that Dumbledore was actually processing letters.
"What's the matter, Minerva?"
Dumbledore smiled and put the letter in his hand on the table. This abnormal behavior made Professor McGonagall know immediately Albus, the old man, was in an extremely busy state at the moment - only in this abnormal working state would Dumbledore be enthusiastic about his work.
"Some documents require approval."
Professor McGonagall said with some worry, "But, Albus, where are you?"
"Expected confusion, Mundungus could not be found through various channels, even if I asked Alastor to look for it, but he couldn't find it either. Traces."
Dumbledore sighed, staring at the map spread out on the table, "Where is he hiding?"
"Peter's side too. No news," Professor McGonagall added.
"Peter is not as important as the other side. If he can hide for ten years, he can hide for longer," Dumbledore said with certainty, his eyes firm, "But on Mundungus's side, I can't figure it out. I looked for possible signs, but found nothing.”
His fingers slid quickly on the map, but in the end he still did not pinpoint a specific location. "Let me think about it again and think about what he would do - by the way, Minerva, how is Andrew's transfiguration?"
"The first self-transformation test started this week," Professor McGonagall put the file on the table. "When he reported to me yesterday, he felt that he was sure."
"It's not that fast," Dumbledore said with a smile on his face, "It's faster than me." It was earlier than expected. He was too self-disciplined.” Is transfiguration still a matter of talent? The second grader finished She has completely controlled her emotions and started to learn Occlumency. This is the trouble."
As the head of Gryffindor, she has never met such a worry-free student, but because of this. Being too worry-free turns into not being worry-free.
Last year, apart from hanging out with Percy, I only practiced Transfiguration. I spent some time after class hanging out with my roommates, and the rest of the time I spent in the library.
It is a good habit to be studious, but it is also too easy to learn. After all, Granger still has two friends who hang out every day. Although one is more troublesome than the other, at least there will be no emotional problems. Taylor simply Just study and study again.
“Didn’t he make any friends in the student union?”
“No, there are all seniors there, how can we play together,” Professor McGonagall sighed, “This During the semester, he adjusted his study and work time, and even applied for him from the Ministry of Magic. Time turner, but he still spent a lot of time studying. Fortunately, during this period of time, the human body transformation technique was stuck, so he had more interactions with the students in the same school."
"You are still the first. It’s just because the student is too eager to learn, Minerva.”
Dumbledore laughed, "But it was about the same when you were studying."
"But I still have many friends, and we still maintain correspondence relationships to this day," Professor McGonagall retorted in a rare way - although She always felt a little ashamed when she corresponded with Augusta in the past three years, but the number of correspondence was not large.
But what can she do? Longbottom's performance is indeed unsatisfactory, but no one can deal with the problem of magic talent.
“Anyway, at least he has a stable vacation time and a desire to communicate with his classmates. If there is no improvement this semester, Andrew must stop doing chores next semester. A stable and healthy mood is important for It's too important for a wizard."
Dumbledore said his decision with a smile, but his tone was firm and he could not refuse.
He has already missed it once and cannot cause another tragedy.
"That is inevitable, but what is reassuring is that he does not have an excessive desire for power, but simply likes transfiguration." Professor McGonagall nodded, "But anyway, Bob may He should learn more about work, Taylor has been taking care of him for a long time."
"Let's arrange it this way, Minerva, Taylor's body will be released tomorrow. After the transformation spell is finished, we will discuss the next arrangements for him."
"Well, Albus, just wait for the results, but I think tomorrow will be another surprise. Success," Professor McGonagall nodded, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Albus, corrected the document."

"That's about it, the kitchen is over here," Andrew pointed out the location of the kitchen, but he didn't take the two junior students inside - he wasn't hungry at all at this point, and he didn't ask for anything after entering. If anything, the expectant looks on those elves made him feel like he was committing a crime.
"Great, thank you very much, Senior Taylor."
Eve expressed her gratitude very happily, and then left - the Hufflepuff lounge was nearby, and she couldn't wait. I want to go back and share the candies from Hogsmeade with my friends.
"I'm going to the library, Senior Taylor."
Luna also left at the same time.
"Library?"
Andrew was stunned for a moment and glanced at the magazine in his hand - he didn't read it today. There were a few introductions to spells that he was actually quite interested in.
"How about we go together?" Luna invited.
“Well, let’s go together, I just want to read it carefully too.”
Andrew raised the magazine in his hand and said, "The reading atmosphere in the library will be much better."
He is adjusting to his will at the moment, and he doesn't feel like he needs to take a rest even if he wants to read.
——
'It's interesting, you can still play like this...'
Transfiguration Today naturally has its reasons as the top journal of Transfiguration, and Andrew found it easily. I started a discussion about a spell that I am interested in and should be able to reproduce.
‘If you break this line of thinking, it’s interesting, interesting. ’
He really wanted to make an annotation or something, but for the convenience of the party today, he didn’t bring those things with him.
‘Go and borrow it from Mrs. Pingsi, it’s not a big problem. ’
“Are you looking for a pen, senior?”
Luna on the opposite side handed over her quill and ink.
"It helped a lot," Andrew accepted it happily, and then quickly started to write and draw in the magazine - yes, this model can theoretically look like that, but if you play around with the rules, then it will …
He happily wrote down the conclusion - he just had to practice and argue again later.
‘Tomorrow - forget it, I won’t plant the flag, I will practice whenever I want. '
After completing all this, Andrew nodded with satisfaction and pushed the quill and ink back, "Thank you very much, it was a big help, otherwise I would have to make a guarantee with Mrs. Pince to get it out. "
"Although you may be accused of being careless when taking notes, is Mrs. Pince not that harsh?"
"That's what will happen if you follow my example and accidentally write down the inspiration in the book."
Andrew said with a bit of fear - he regarded it as his own textbook at the time, and wrote an extremely subtle The idea was written down in the book.
Then there was a terrible disaster.
He shook his head and glanced at the book Luna was reading, "This book, well, I don't really recommend it. The author is very long-winded, and he has to go over and over again to explain the issues clearly in a few sentences. Emphasis, and it's a bit early - you try it, forget it , I'll look for it, I remember I've read it before."
He set off to the bookshelf and brought over two books that he thought were suitable - no matter how many, it would be easy to scare the beginners, the second grade. It would be great to read these two introductory books on transfiguration.
"Try these two books." He returned to his seat and handed the book over. "The organization will be much clearer. The library has so many books, and many outdated reference books are preserved."
"Help Very busy," Luna showed a grateful expression, "I don't have a good foundation in transfiguration, and I find it very difficult to learn on my own, especially the spells taught by Professor McGonagall at the beginning of this semester."
She shook her head - —Obviously, deeply tortured.
"It's a bit difficult," Andrew nodded - although he learned quickly, he was not unable to distinguish the difficulty. "Of course, the long period of not casting spells during the summer vacation is also an important reason."
He briefly said a little trick - but unexpectedly, the other party's understanding was higher than he thought, and Luna understood the meaning almost quickly.
But the overall foundation is still very poor, but it can be seen that I have studied hard, but I have not gotten started.
“Go back and read these two books.” Andrew took a piece of parchment from Luna and wrote down the title. “It’s a bit difficult to pronounce and it will take some time because it’s more professional, but it won’t help. Small.”
“I will, um, though. It looks a little scary, but I will read it carefully. Thank you very much, Senior Andrew.”
“You’re welcome.”
Andrew waved his hand and pointed to the book in his hand. We have to do an experiment and leave first.”
"Well, bye."
"Goodbye."
