This is what Ravenclaw looks like.

Entertainment is entertainment, it is necessary, but wasting all your time on entertainment is really no different from seeking death.

Every time he ate, Andrew would get a new and profound reminder.

The scary noseless man was hiding over there, behind a thin scarf, watching Hogwarts intently.

During this time Andrew considered several ways to tell the truth, but none were safe.

The manuscript was the first to be rejected - Dumbledore wouldn't check it if he couldn't find it out, but it was too easy for the noseless guy to locate him through the editor.

An anonymous letter wouldn't work either, it wouldn't reach Dumbledore's desk at all.

If Dumbledore could read any letter, he would probably have died of exhaustion at his job.

Who can I ask to explain why an effective method like anonymous letters is stuck when the identity of the recipient is too high?

He almost wanted to sneak into the kitchen and stuff letters on Dumbledore's plate - but considering the elf's combat capabilities and the level of secrecy involved in doing so, this somewhat feasible idea was ultimately rejected by himself.

"Forget it, let's practice transformation first..."

What Professor McGonagall gave him this time made it more difficult - but fortunately it was still about one aspect of technology.

To put it simply, it is how to maintain the effective time of the transformation spell.

This is a very time-consuming exercise - because there is currently no spell that can achieve stable and controllable acceleration, he had to get several boxes to store the small transformed ornaments, using the most unpretentious method. test.

Not only did he occupy his roommate's box, he even made one from the dormitory next door.

But even so, his time was roughly free - there was nothing he could do except waiting to record and add a new batch of comparison parts.

"Wow, you can actually transform into a wood carving...it's made of multiple wooden parts spliced ​​together...it's so cool..."

To be precise, it is not a wood carving, but the three-dimensional puzzle made of all wooden parts that Andrew later played with. This is the most complex structure that he can deform so far, and it is extremely easy to destroy. It is perfect for exploration experiments.

"It's okay. In fact, the difficulty is much worse than using biological changes. It's a pity that the permanent transformation is too far away from us. Otherwise, I would give you one..." Andrew compared again, taking notes in his notebook, and responded to Kevin. , "You seem to be very busy these days. What are you busy with?"

'Speaking of this, you can actually see if there are any similar toys on the market... I don't know if Lego is better at this time. Maybe I can give Kevin a set for Christmas...'

"Of course it's the curse coming from Slytherin..."

Kevin pretended to be a bit mysterious, "It has spread in a small area. I just got the spells and techniques... I have almost practiced them now. It's so simple..."

"So outrageous?"

"It's not outrageous... The curse is the simplest spell, it can't even be called an orthodox curse."

He seems to have studied this aspect much more than Andrew. "You know, it is difficult to have a counter-curse for a traditional curse. Once it is applied, it is difficult to eliminate it. But the curse is different. The faster you get started, the easier it is to counter-curse." It’s easy—those Slytherin guys only took a day or two to learn.”

As he spoke, he waved his wand at Bell's shoes left on the ground, "That's it... watch my hands!"

The wand swung and stabbed, "The shoe bites him!"

Andrew clearly saw the pointed shoe open its mouth wide, and then clicked against the toes.

"It's that simple. I didn't even get the shoes that were running around biting people all the time..."

Kevin spread his hands, "I guess the Gryffindor guys have already thought of a way to crack it, but they don't seem to have the desire to do it."

"Really simple..."

Andrew pulled out his wand, let one of his shoes float down, and then, "The shoe bit him!"

Just like what he just saw, the shoes clicked into the air.

"Indeed, there wasn't even a feeling of transformation, it was just a simple little curse - those Gryffindor guys were just caught off guard."

He nodded in agreement with Kevin's statement.

However, Kevin opened his mouth wide and looked at him with an aggrieved look on his face.

"I practiced for a whole morning to do it!

"I still want to show it off in front of them and then teach it to them!"

"Ah, I promise to act like I know the spell for the first time."

Andrew quickly apologized and said he would never steal his limelight, which made Kevin, who felt shocked, feel better.

——

There were probably many people like Kevin, and after about two or three days, this toe-biting magic became popular throughout the castle.

Although everyone is controlling the power and not letting the shoes bite their feet hard, even a slight bite is quite painful.

But Andrew himself has found a way to break it - this little curse can only work on ordinary shoes, but has no effect on the transformed magical shoes.

At first, he thought about using the deformation technique to add iron sheets to his shoes. After discovering the forced containment effect of the deformation technique, he decided to change the color of his shoes every day, and then happily watched his classmates joking. 'A helpless expression.

Of course, he will not forget to happily give the opponent a refill as the same so-called 'joke'.

This set of tactics effectively hit some people who tried to retaliate against him. Although he himself was quite critical of the club he joined, many people who were eliminated early were still a little dissatisfied. There was nothing he could do about this.

Similarly, the protective method quickly spread after Andrew gave the credit to Kevin. After the freshmen's Transfiguration grades improved a little, the biting shoes completely became a thing of the past.

"This record..."

"When casting spells, if you focus on the core, it is indeed much more effective than other spellcasting methods to resist the destructive effects of time on Transfiguration..."

"Of course, this is still related to the strength of magic... The Transfiguration Wooden Board and Quidditch Three-piece Ball I got still look the same..."

"But the question is again... I think the slightly rough method is a problem of my experience, or is the opponent just relying on the growing magic to forcibly increase the strength of the spell?"

With a lot of questions in his mind, he started to ask Professor McGonagall after class before submitting his paper.

"It's an interesting idea, but as I told you before the start of the semester, all assumptions are useless before the foundation is laid..."

"However, I was also planning to tell you that when it comes to magic experiments, in addition to being careful, you also need to learn to arrange your experimental time properly."

Another new list of books was pulled out.

"Read these books separately..."

"Okay, professor."
