Chapter 462 Return to school and the final dispute
Five days can be as short as it can be, or it can be as long as possible.
Anyway, Andrew felt that as soon as he closed his eyes and opened them, his miserable vacation was over.
There was no other way, the Triwizard Tournament was coming soon, and he didn't have any more time to take a vacation - especially since Karkaroff had interfered with the originally agreed quota, which made the already troublesome matter even more complicated. .
"It's time to go back to school. I didn't even take them to go fishing for a day, really," Andrew sighed and started to pack his luggage.
Professor McGonagall did not let him return to school on his own, indicating that he would still be taken to the floo network today and then to Hogsmeade.
This is also true. Just after breakfast, Professor McGonagall came to visit Mrs. Camille.
After the two of them had talked for less than twenty minutes, Andrew saw Mrs. Camille urging him to leave quickly with a happy face.
‘It’s a good thing that no second wizard came out, otherwise, the kid behind me would have been tricked to death by me...’
Andrew was thinking about irrelevant things, but he had already followed the professor obediently. After saying a simple goodbye to Mrs. Camille, he left with Professor McGonagall.
"How's your study going?"
After making sure that no one could hear, the professor motioned to Andrew to stretch his arm over, "Although it's a bit harsh, but you have to finish your Russian studies quickly, we can't expect the ghosts of Kodos Dorez to learn English, you know Yes, ghosts learn too slowly.”
Yes, death doesn't stop ghosts from learning, but it means double the stress and pain, and the vast majority of them prefer being a ghost to exploring new things.
"Theoretically, I can understand a few simple greetings, professor, but the efficiency is very average." Andrew shook his head. "It is simply a language from another system."
‘I have learned a few curse words, but there is no need to report this. ’
"There's nothing we can do. We have no communication with them, and we don't take them to the Triwizard Tournament. In fact, their spellcasting system is quite different from ours."
Professor McGonagall must have done a lot of homework, "You must have a translator, and the other party will provide it, but if you want to go deep into the dungeon, you still need to learn a little bit. It is really suitable to train in anti-dark magic there."
Each school has its own special magic, and this is true for all eleven schools.
Durmstrang, for example, is famous for black magic and war magic.
Hogwarts also has its own specialties, but its best one is not transfiguration, but spells.
Yes, spells, not transfiguration. Although Dumbledore's transfiguration can be said to be the best in the wizarding world, and even brought out outstanding students like Professor McGonagall, which has completely improved the inheritance of transfiguration at Hogwarts. But the number one skill is still magic, but in recent years, transfiguration has become the second specialty, but it still can't compare with Wagadu who is number one.
There's no way around it, Waggadu's Transfiguration is too cheating. The combination of gesture casting and directional deformation makes Waggadu's students naturally better at transfiguration than Hogwarts, where wands cast spells. The basics are there. Put it aside, it’s really incomparable.
But the wand's spellcasting, coupled with Hogwart's rich heritage, makes Hogwarts' spells always very powerful. This is also the result of the choice of two spellcasting directions.
The other schools are pretty much the same. Castello Busch is good at magical biology and herbalism, Beauxbatons is good at magical creatures and alchemy, the Institute of Magic is good at potions, and Ilvermorny, as a rising star, is good at everything. A bit, but not to the first-class level...
'That's probably how it is, but I don't know how many tricks are hidden. Anyway, heritage belongs to heritage, and development belongs to development. It doesn't mean that one generation will become stronger after another, and the things passed down by a new powerful wizard can complete a lot of things. …'
While Andrew was thinking about it, the professor pulled him and began to disapparate, following the same old method, all the way back to Hogsmeade. ‘The dizziness is much weaker. It seems that the increase in magic power is indeed helpful for resistance. Of course, it may also be that you get used to it after vomiting...’
"This time when you return to school, the most important thing is to learn Russian. Regarding the Triwizard Tournament, the only remaining problem is that you just need to sign. Beauxbatons has asked for a referee, but there is still As expected.”
In Hogsmeade, Professor McGonagall explained to Andrew the tasks to be completed next while walking, "Of course, you will also need to follow up on the subsequent communication with the Ministry of Magic of the Three Kingdoms, as well as the subsequent changes to the levels. It’s better to discuss.”
The professor shook his head, with some regret on his face, "If Karkaroff hadn't messed up, Professor Martin should be responsible for all this. She should be very good at this. At least she has taken more risks and has experience. What kind of traps have she designed? It should be very practical.”
"I have no choice but to step back and protect the professor," Andrew nodded in agreement, "By the way, professor, who is the anti-black magic professor for the new school year?"
"Albus is still negotiating, but it should be finalized soon. I will tell you my name after I return to school. This is not the right place to talk about this."
Co-authorship is still under negotiation.
Yes, the holiday is less than a week away...
"Besides," the professor suddenly remembered something, "besides, you should try your best to improve your potions class during this period. Albus is going to let you start learning alchemy. Although it is much earlier than normal learning, Your accumulation is almost done.”
Normally this thing is a sixth grade course, and the prerequisites are extremely high.
However, if you are particularly good in a single subject, you can still choose to study it, but then it depends on the professor's judgment regardless of the certificate. It is not generally difficult.
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
‘It’s not like the principal doesn’t know how much I weigh... Why add a temporary task of learning potions? It’s not transfiguration...’
Andrew was confused - although alchemy will promote the improvement of transfiguration, the effect is limited. What is the principal worried about?
We are too busy with other things here...
But he still nodded and agreed - it was just a matter of going back to the laboratory to burn galleons. Compared to Russian, this was simply relaxing.
"The time turner still needs to be used. We have less than twenty days left. Then we will go to Kodos Dorez to inspect the local situation, especially the situation in the underground city. It will take a week. We will adjust our time later. Although there are still opportunities for changes later, it is best to get it done before the summer vacation.”
The pressure is huge.
"The most important thing is the Quidditch World Cup. You must watch the final, Taylor."
…
Actually, I'd rather do something else, Professor.
But this can never be said - Andrew knows very well how much Professor McGonagall loves Quidditch.
'I feel that the House Cup of Quidditch is much more important to professors than the House Cup...'
He thought so.
