Chapter 256 Percy’s Fury
"What did you do on leave last weekend?"
In Professor McGonagall's office, Percy asked curiously - Andrew was not on duty for two days on the weekend, which was a big blow to him.
Who doesn’t have a date on the weekend?
As a result, the two-hour shift turned into a half-day!
If he hadn't stopped him, Penello would have made trouble for Andrew - this weekend, you are so shameless!
"I'll work for you for three days this week, and you can choose your own time." Andrew turned his head, "Magic has really encountered an extremely difficult problem... and I guess it will be the same this weekend..."
"Okay... usually there are fewer people..."
Percy muttered, if it were anyone else, he could have patted his chest and said that he could help with any problem - but after going to the Forbidden Forest together, he despaired of the magic progress of Andrew, a freak...
"By the way, Hagrid came here last weekend. It seems that the Forbidden Forest has stopped - it seems that your name has started to spread over the Centaurs tribe..."
The conflict has been suppressed for the time being - but I don't know when it will completely break out...
But that kind of thing is out of his control, "What's the point of spreading my name?"
"At least take responsibility before you say such things... That centaur saw you casting spells there..."
Percy rolled his eyes, "It's almost Easter holiday - how do you choose your classes..."
Doesn't it seem a little too early for you?
Spring hasn't even arrived yet, let alone something like the Easter holiday?
However, this matter should really be put on the agenda - the courses at Hogwarts are roughly divided into four categories.
A class that starts with the first grade and takes the OWLs exam.
In third grade, students begin taking an elective class that takes part in the OWLs exam.
There are categories that do not have OWLs exams, such as flying lessons and Apparition lessons (the latter has a separate exam certificate, but the former does not.)
And the most special alchemy, there is no OWLs exam, but it is considered a category with NEWTs exam.
"I'm not sure. I'll probably use Muggle Studies for credits, and I'll probably take Ancient Runes as an elective. Divination is too rigorous. I don't think I have the talent for divination... Maybe it would be good to take a course on magical creatures..."
Andrew leaned back on the chair, "After all, I plan to work on magic spells when I have free time in the third grade. I don't have much free time..."
"What a waste of luxury..."
Percy shook his head, "But it's better than that bastard Ron anyway. Do you know what my idiot brother did?"
? ? ?
Andrew suddenly became energetic - elaborated.
"He was actually called out by Professor McGonagall for a private conversation because he copied the Transfiguration homework! This is a bad move that neither Fred nor George did!"
Percy looked very angry - yes, the fact that his prefect's brother is a bastard brother is really...
But that’s not the case, right?
Andrew remembered hinting several times that there might be something wrong with Ron's homework - so was it just anger at being called out?
"I just want to give you some advice. The score for Transfiguration is still very important - but there's no need to be so anxious. He copied some of his homework, but it's not that bad."
"It's all plagiarized, what could be worse than this!"
Percy was not ordinary annoyed.
"At least the copying is logical, there are no obvious errors, and there are no problems with symbols or anything else - if he really doesn't know how to do it, then the homework should be terrible..."
Andrew persuaded - this is not nonsense, this is the truth. If you really don't learn, the sum symbol can be turned into something weird, and you can't copy the homework well at all.
Of course, no matter how different magic and transfiguration are, they still have some basic similarities. Judging from Ron's enthusiasm for researching magic, I can't say that he can pass the transfiguration skill reliably, but at least he is a P. But these words had little dissuading effect on Percy.
He failed even at the Transfiguration Technique!
Still his brother!
He also had to do odd jobs under Professor McGonagall's nose!
It’s a shame for the whole family!
"What's the use of being angry, Percy, calm down, even if you want to beat the child, it won't be your turn. Anyway, the Easter holiday is just around the corner. Write a letter to your family and trick him back then, solidly. One beating and that’s it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Andrew wanted to give it to himself.
Is there any such advice?
This is not adding fuel to the fire!
This point should be to persuade people to calm down. He is used to it in stories, and it has also been brought into reality - No, Andrew, friends like you can't communicate.
Fortunately, Percy is not an impulsive person, and Andrew deliberately avoided the topic, so Percy did not explode in the end.
"I'll plan this with him later..." Percy muttered, "Let's not talk about him, but it's you, Andrew, how about this Monday, three, four, or three days?"
"No problem, I'll be on duty at this time."
Andrew nodded.

"We still have tests this week, Senior Nellie."
The new week passed quickly, and Andrew began to study the Iron Armor Curse again - the requirements were not high, and it would be considered a success if he could figure out the attribute changes this week.
But the reality is more interesting than he imagined.
Maybe the theory of unity in alchemy is correct, maybe the Iron Armor Curse is an average difficulty to get started with, or maybe his accumulation of transfiguration is strong enough.
All in all, on Saturday afternoon, he easily figured out the correct way to operate the Iron Armor Curse - the filling and flow of magic power, as well as the slightest trace of rules.
Not the rules of a spell, but... well, the rules of how a spell works naturally.
Magic fills the framework of this spell that has been modified countless times under the action of spells and gestures - the previous construction spells and innovation spells are all modifications of its rules.
It's like the predecessors used gestures, spells and wands to create a beautiful mold. Later wizards only need to understand the mold and inject magic into it...
'So, the curse cannot escape this property in the end... It is still a contact rule, but compared to the transformation spell, the modification of the curse is softer. It seems that you can use tools to modify the mold without having to modify the mold structure. Too knowledgeable...You can even learn to carve molds without being proficient in theory...Create some small curses or something...If you are lucky, you can even make a particularly beautiful one...'
'But in the final analysis, you still have to understand the rules in order to construct your own spell more perfectly... And the threshold for transformation, which emphasizes more on change, will be higher...'
"Interesting, really interesting..."
Andrew seemed to have gotten some toy - but he knew very well that he only knew the theory - he stuck out a wooden board on the Transfiguration building. He could see the scenery above the enchanted sky, but he expected to stand for a long time or even jump. Hey, that’s a complete courtship of death…
'But... it's not a big problem to get a bamboo pole...'
He waved his wand and began to deform the surrounding air, using magic to pull them into motion like the iron armor spell he felt.
