Chapter 369 The Dreadful Hogwarts
“The smoothness is unimaginable.”
After Andrew left, Dumbledore happily came out of the room and sat on the chair, "He doesn't have the stubbornness and short-sightedness of ordinary wizards. He is really a young man to look forward to."
"Yes, Young minds are good at discovering different things. I am also looking forward to which project Taylor will use to conduct his own unique research on human transfiguration after he has mastered it."
Professor McGonagall. Nodding, "At least Mrs. Pingsi is now satisfied with the changes - lighting is so important."
"Yes, change," Dumbledore nodded. "Since there were no accidents when casting the spell for the first time, I'm relieved. I have to go back to the office and keep an eye on it, Minerva."
"Still. There are these documents, Albus."
Professor McGonagall handed over the documents that had been prepared in time, with an unusually natural expression.
——
“It’s going better than expected. There’s still a while... let’s go check out the Hogwarts information.”
After completing the first test of human transformation more smoothly than expected, Andrew felt extremely relaxed - after getting over the difficulty of the first spell, all that was left was to become familiar with the spell and control the strength.
This matter is quite worthy of celebration, but the celebration method he is familiar with cannot be found in Hogwarts or even Hogsmeade. As for drinking alcohol, it is even more difficult to buy it.
Studying is not suitable either. He can only find some extracurricular books to read to kill time - Professor McGonagall just provided a good choice.
Although he had carefully read a history of Hogwarts, he was not too impressed by Professor McGonagall's cruel punishments.
‘It can’t be like in the game, where the whole school was filled with chaos and duels more than a hundred years ago. ’
Thinking about the exaggerated expressiveness and terrifying power of the Chain Avatar in the game, he even wanted to laugh - there may be ancient magic or something, but there is no such thing as the Chain Avatar, not even the Dark Lord himself. Come on, that's really an exaggeration.
'Speaking of which, the first volume is a legend, and it also includes Dumbledore's admission to school. It's just a mess made by the editors. As a result, the first volume was written in a hurry to get it on the shelves. It will be serialized in the future. If readers didn't only care about Dumbledore, there would be so many loopholes that they wouldn't be able to see...'
Such pleasant thoughts appeared in his mind, which led to who Andrew saw today. Always smile.
"Good morning, Mrs. Pince."
"Good morning, classmate Taylor, how can I help you?"
"I want to check some school rules from the past century, because I heard some scary rumors today."
Andrew responded with a smile.
"School rules?"
Mrs. Pince was stunned for a moment - she had not seen anyone interested in borrowing books for several years.
“There is nothing similar in the library, but Mr. Filch must have a copy, but I suggest you not to show it to your classmates. If you ask me, Dumbledore’s second greatest achievement after taking office is The vast majority of outrageous punishment provisions have been eliminated or weakened.”
"Then what is the greatest?"
Andrew asked curiously.
"Safe lights have been installed in the library."
Mrs. Pince naturally answered with an answer that no one could find fault with.
——
‘Hiss…’
In Filch’s office, Andrew took a breath of air.
Looking at the records in front of him, he felt a little doubtful about life.
No, were you so wild back then?
The administrator, Mr. Filch, is not here now, but he generously shared his 'treasure' with Andrew. And Andrew also got a glimpse of the terrifying school rules and victims of Hogwarts back then.
Mr. Filch’s former administrator was Mr. Apollyon Prinlow, and in that era when Dumbledore went to school, the school rules were terrible and outrageous.
'Whips, ropes, sticks...'
Andrew put down the record, "What the hell, is this a school or Azkaban? Are the dementors not like this anymore?"
And these punishment records, which are not excessive even in Azkaban, Andrew even saw it on his acquaintances - Mr. Weasley's name was in the records.
[Arthur Weasley, Gryffindor, stayed up all night at four in the morning and received one hundred blows from the cane. 】
It’s four o’clock in the morning, staying up all night, a hundred canes.
Andrew checked the time - Dumbledore has become the principal, but the abolition of the previous school rules is still being gradually advanced.
‘It’s too bad, just wait a little longer. ’
But he can only say that he is worthy of being a Gryffindor - he just doesn’t know why he stayed up until four o’clock, it’s not written in the record anyway.
As for when Dumbledore entered school, it was even more terrifying. At that time, not to mention the corporal punishment from the administrator, students also unexpectedly greeted each other with duels.
'The surprise is true...'
Andrew can only say that he is amazed - but that's all, although Mr. Filch may really think that because he was a person at that time There's nothing wrong with that kind of punishment, but let's not do that kind of thing.
He felt that his method of confinement was harsh enough, and the corporal punishment was too much.
Hang students up all night, forget it happened when Dumbledore entered school, at least not now - he usually thinks Professor Snape is a bit too much, but compared to the school rules back then , Professor Snape seemed approachable.
'Can't read it, can't read it, this thing is too scary, but it seems that it can be used to vaguely mention it in the new chapter, as the place of Dumbledore's warmth in the legend, but I have to make up for it from the reply. I I don’t want to hang up the astronomy tower. ’
‘Let’s record it as an outline first, and then think about what to add later. '

"Hal, how is the investigation going?"
In Andrew's dormitory, when Hal's figure appeared at the door, even if Hughes, who was buried in a history of magic textbook, raised his head and looked at Hal curiously to see what explosive news this reserve reporter who claimed to be well-informed had brought.
"Nothing, it's like nothing happened."
Hal waved his hand, "The strangest thing is that yesterday he went to the library with a junior girl, but, how should I say, It was after the 'student representative' party of the Defense Against Dark Arts class that he brought two of them back to school."
"But the other one didn't go to the library with him."
Kay. Wen looked gossipy.
"The other one is from Hufflepuff, and the remaining one is from this house, the second-year one, um, yes, Luna."
"Oh, they are from our college."
Everyone lost interest - is there anything unusual about Ravenclaw going to the library? It's a long and tiring trip back to the lounge, and you might not be able to get in. The library is so comfortable.
"Um Luna, do you like going to the library?"
Sius asked curiously without reading.
“Of course I looked it up. I love going to the library. I just like to read miscellaneous adventure stuff and magical creatures. I also like those weird rumors. He is also very passionate about divination. In short, he often goes to the library to read some miscellaneous books and share strange knowledge. He is quite crazy." Hal looked proud, "I must have investigated carefully, and so did the other one."
< br>
"Then there's no news. We went to the library together." Kevin waved his hand boredly, "It seems that Andrew is really tired. After all, he was on duty for a long time yesterday. It's boring. I thought I had some magical gossip. ”
