The wizard in Hogwarts is unscientific

The reason why I decided to learn alchemy in the first place, besides wanting to refine magic stones and being really curious about alchemy, was also because I wanted to have another way to accumulate [potential points].

All knowledge is easy first and then difficult.

When he first started learning magic, Andy only needed to practice hard for ten days to obtain a [potential point].

However, as Andy's magical attainments gradually deepened, the speed of obtaining [potential points] from practicing magic has slowed down a lot.

It is not just by practicing magic that you can obtain [potential points].

But only through effective practice can you obtain [potential points].

In other words, it is to improve strength.

It was for this reason that I learned divination last year.

It's just that divination relies purely on talent, and hard work alone is useless.

Currently, Andy does not need strong divination ability, and he has no plans to add more [Divination] in the short term, so he can only find another way to obtain [Potential Points].

Thinking of this, Andy stopped complaining, opened an alchemy book, and took notes carefully.

"Decided to learn alchemy?" Hermione asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah!" Andy responded.

Although I feel that alchemy is not the right path, it is still a magical skill that has been passed down for a long time. It is always good to master more knowledge.

What's more, learning alchemy can also gain [potential points].

Your extra points in the second half of the semester will all depend on it.

The reason why I say this is mainly because Andy has just completed the fusion of mind and magic. Practicing magic at this time will greatly improve your strength.

As your strength increases, you will naturally gain [potential points].

However, Andy guessed that this situation should not last long. After reaching the upper limit, the speed of practicing magic to accumulate [potential points] will still slow down.

Seeing Andy looking like he was immersed in studying, Hermione stopped talking and lowered her head to read the book.

Speaking of Juan, she has never been afraid of anyone!

After reading the book for a while, Hermione looked up at Andy again.

To be honest, this wasn't the first time Hermione was envious of Andy's magical talent.

From the first day they entered Hogwarts, the two often studied together and practiced magic together. Even with the same effort, Andy's learning progress was faster than hers.

The two of them were learning a magic at the same time, and Hermione only needed to listen to the professor explain it once before she could perform it smoothly.

As for Andy…

Now he only needs to look at the spell and he can cast the magic smoothly. Then practice it casually for a while, and you will be able to achieve mastery.

Destroy it!

Hermione is not afraid of writing, but doing it with Andy... is really tiring!

…

Happy time (crossed out)...the time of learning is always short.

After sitting in the library all morning and having lunch, Andy and Hermione came to the Charms classroom to prepare for the first lesson of the new semester.

Professor Flitwick's classes are always so passionate.

He was very detailed and humorous.

But none of this has anything to do with Andy.

Professor Flitwick knew Andy's progress, so he specifically allowed Andy to read other extracurricular books in his class.

Not just Professor Flitwick, Andy has this privilege with many professors.

Well...except for Professor Sprout.

Because Andy's grades in herbal medicine class could only barely meet the standard.

After taking the little wizards to review the third-grade curriculum, Professor Flitwick asked the little wizards to practice magic on their own - since the little wizards cannot perform magic outside of school, many of them are a little unfamiliar with spellcasting.

After walking around the classroom a few times, Professor Flitwick walked up to Andy and stood on tiptoes to glance at the books Andy was reading.

"alchemy?"

Professor Flitwick sounded a little surprised, "Mr. Collins, are you studying alchemy?"

"Professor!" Andy raised his head and greeted.

"This is a profound magical subject." Professor Flitwick said.

"Does the professor also study alchemy?" Andy asked.

Hearing the sound of Andy and Professor Flitwick talking, Hermione also turned her head and looked over.

"certainly!"

Professor Flitwick said enthusiastically: "I studied it for a while when I was young. Sometimes when I got interested, I would find a few books on alchemy to pass the time."

Amateur!

Andy immediately lost the desire to ask for advice.

But... no matter what, amateurs are much better than Andy, a pure novice.

"Professor, why do the magic symbols of alchemy have magical power?" Andy asked sincerely.

"They're like spells, well... you can think of them as spells for everything."

Professor Flitwick explained: "You should know the seven principles of alchemy, right? Everything is mind! Alchemists believe that all things are spiritual, and those hieroglyphs are their spells."

“Each symbol has its own unique meaning, and when connected together, they form the mantra of all things.”

"The essence of alchemy is to use these magic symbols to let substances perform magic."

"Making matter work magic!?" Hermione exclaimed.

"That's right, Miss Granger!"

Professor Flitwick said: "This is also the biggest difference between alchemical creations and ordinary magic items."

"Ordinary magic items are made with the magic of our wizards."

"Alchemical creations are different. It is the objects themselves that cast spells, and those magic symbols give them magical powers."

"This is amazing!" Hermione was very interested.

"Everything is spiritual!" Andy murmured to himself.

Of course, Andy knew the seven principles of alchemy. They were the basic rules that must be understood to learn alchemy.

"Professor..."

Andy couldn't wait to ask: "Do all things really have spirits?"

"Alchemists think so."

Professor Flitwick smiled and said: "Dumbledore is a master of alchemy. He may be able to answer your question."

Andy: "..."

Why is there this old man everywhere?

But...

The Chocolate Frog card did mention that Dumbledore and his partner Nicolas Flamel were very successful in alchemy.

In this era, Nicolas Flamel was the first person in alchemy and an absolute authority.

In front of Nicolas Flamel, the 100-year-old Dumbledore can only be regarded as a 'young man'.

Dumbledore was able to discuss alchemy with Nicolas Flamel and was evaluated as "effective", which is enough to prove Dumbledore's achievements in alchemy.

This old man is really amazing!

The more Andy knows about Dumbledore, the more he feels that he is unfathomable - whether it is magic or wisdom.

To be honest, even if Dumbledore makes a Philosopher's Stone one day, Andy will not find it strange.

He may really have this ability.

It's just the difference between wanting and not wanting!

No wonder Voldemort is afraid of him.

Even to this day, Andy still has an elusive feeling about Dumbledore.

Really unfathomable!
