Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

The restricted section of the library, Professor Flitwick, Professor McGonagall... There are so many ways for Andy to learn the Fidelius Charm.

If all else fails, Andy can still shamelessly ask Dumbledore for help.

“It’s actually a laboratory!”

Magic experiments do not require the preparation of a large number of mysterious instruments and equipment like scientific experiments, but the necessary equipment is still required.

Many magical transformation methods require special potions to complete the transformation, and some methods even require more complex conditions.

It's like an Animagus transforming.

The shapeshifter needs to hold a mandrake leaf in his mouth during a full moon, and then take out the leaf and place it in a small crystal vial filled with saliva to receive the pure moonlight.

Moreover, the first transformation of the Animagus must be performed in stormy weather.

——And the conditions for magical transformation are more complicated than this.

"Except for the laboratory..."

Andy pondered silently, "Strength and intelligence are crucial."

After all, there can't be Death Eaters everywhere on the streets.

Without intelligence, it would be difficult to catch a Death Eater.

"In cahoots with Snape?"

"No! The old bat is more in favor of Dumbledore."

Andy frowned slightly.

"Malfoy... never mind, he doesn't even know Occlumency. On the contrary, old Malfoy could be used."

Andy had an idea in mind.

As it was almost six o'clock, Andy put the translated materials together.

Andy had to come back after dinner, so he didn't take the materials with him. Andy planned to work overnight and finish the translation work by the weekend.

When they arrived at the auditorium, Andy found Hermione and sat down next to the little witch.

"Good evening." Andy greeted.

"good evening."

Hermione looked a little tired, "How are the translations going?"

"Not bad!" Andy responded, and then asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you tired?"

"I'm fine, nothing's wrong."

Hermione said calmly: "Let's eat. We still have a lot of things to do after dinner!"

Andy: "!"

You don't look like you're okay.

"Do you want to take a break?" Andy asked.

"Hermione, you really should take a break."

Zhang Qiu sat opposite Andy and Hermione and said, "I've had this experience before, and it would last for several days. I asked Professor McGonagall, and we girls should pay attention to keeping our abdomens warm during this period, and we should also get more rest and avoid excessive fatigue."

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask Professor McGonagall or Professor Sprout."

Andy: "..."

I say, is it really okay for you to discuss this topic in front of each other?

Do you really think I'm a child who doesn't understand anything?

Andy glanced sideways at Hermione.

Twelve years old...grown up!

"Thank you!"

Hermione was a little embarrassed, "I will go back to the dormitory to rest after dinner. I will also pay attention to rest in the next few days."

Zhang Qiu smiled and said, "Fortunately, tomorrow is Saturday. You can sleep a little longer in the morning. I'll bring you breakfast."

"Thank you, but..."

Before Hermione could refuse, Zhang Qiu said, "Don't be embarrassed. You should rest more now."

Andy pretended to be confused, "Hermione, since you are feeling unwell, just be obedient. It's a pity that I can't enter the girls' dormitory, otherwise I could bring you breakfast."

Hermione glanced at Andy. "You sound disappointed?"

"My friend is sick, so of course I want to do my best to help him," Andy said quickly.

The little witch rolled her eyes at Andy.

After dinner, Andy and Zhang Qiu sent Hermione back to the dormitory. Andy gave her a few instructions, but he never said the famous saying "drink more hot water".

After all, many examples in previous lives have proven that this sentence is not popular with girls.

After finishing his personal business, Andy went all the way to Slytherin's secret room and started the final translation work.

Andy had read those books and manuscripts many times, and had nothing to do but come outside to practice magic.

In addition to spells, Andy has also put a lot of effort into Transfiguration during this period, and is getting closer and closer to meeting Professor McGonagall's requirements.

Animagus must be learned.

This magic seems to be useless, especially since the Ministry of Magic stipulates that Animagus shapeshifters must register with the Ministry of Magic - this causes Animagus to lose its most critical function of "hiding identity".

But Animagus is actually very important in the field of Transfiguration. This magic is different from ordinary human body transformation. It allows the caster to truly transform into another animal.

Animagus can even be considered a permanent transformation.

Moreover, wizards who have learned Animagus will often be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort when learning human body transformation.

Human body deformation is the basis of magical deformation.

Andy blew the giant snake statue in the secret room into several pieces, then waved his wand and transformed them into various animals.

There is a prerequisite for Transfiguration - before performing Transfiguration, you must construct the object you want to transform in your mind.

This requires wizards to have rich theoretical knowledge.

Especially biological deformation, which requires learning a lot of complex biological knowledge.

Fortunately, the predecessors in the magic world have summarized the knowledge in books, and Andy only needs to memorize it to learn biological transformation.

"Wait a moment!"

"Speaking of constructing the object you want to transform in your mind... magical transformation doesn't seem to require this!"

Andy was stunned.

Chapter 227 It’s time to improve your thinking

Andy flipped through all the manuscripts left by Slytherin and finally confirmed again that magical transfiguration did not have the requirements of traditional transfiguration - when performing magical transfiguration, there was no need to construct the object you wanted to transform in your mind.

"Animagus doesn't seem to have this requirement..."

Andy recalled the requirements of Animagus transformation.

The Animagus did not have this requirement when it first transformed into an animal. Only when it first transformed from an animal into a human did it need to clearly imagine its human form in its mind.

With practice, a shapeshifter can switch between animal and human forms at will through imagination.

Advanced Animagus don't even need a wand to transform.

"Hmm... Is it because there is no image constructed in the mind in advance that Animagus and magical transformation are random and uncontrollable?"

Andy put down the manuscript and rubbed his temple.

Since Andy could think of this problem, there was no reason why Slytherin couldn't think of it.

He had spent most of the rest of his life studying magical transfiguration, so it was impossible for him not to notice that magical transfiguration did not require the basic conditions of Transfiguration.

Therefore, when performing magical transformation, imagining your body structure in your mind in advance - this method does not work.

"It's not that simple!" Andy had a headache.

The test results were not recorded in Slytherin's manuscript, and the hidden danger of magical deformation was difficult to avoid.

These are the two most difficult issues right now.

“It seems like I can only add some!”

Andy opened the system panel.

The [Spellcraft] talent has now been increased to [7] points, which is enough for now and can be put aside for the time being.

Andy's first research topic - the fusion of mind and magic - has also achieved great success.

Continuing to increase the [Mind] attribute may make the Patronus Spell even more powerful, and even the [Will] attribute may have an amplifying effect on the Patronus Spell.

But Andy didn't need to fight just yet.

What Andy needs is growth and a clear future direction.

And Andy has a feeling that the [Will] attribute can be improved through training.

As for the black magic...

Black magic only needs to be mastered at a basic level. Andy currently has no plans to conduct in-depth research, nor is he prepared to use black magic as a conventional method.

As for other attributes… Hogwarts doesn’t have Alchemy classes, and Divination classes are not offered until the third year.

Andy set his sights on the [Thinking] attribute.

[Thinking: 3]

An average talent, not outstanding, but not mediocre either.

It was enough before, but as Andy delved deeper into magic, he felt that his thinking couldn't keep up.

It's like going to school.

As long as you study hard in elementary school, the gap between geniuses and ordinary people will not be too big.

Because that knowledge is simple.

However, as we continue to study, the knowledge we are exposed to becomes more and more difficult and complex. Many people will find that no matter how hard they try, it is difficult to understand that knowledge.

Andy is facing this situation now.

That won't work just by hard work. Andy needs to improve his thinking ability to help himself understand the advanced magic knowledge.

[Potential Points: 2]

After practicing for this period of time, Andy has accumulated two [Potential Points], and improving the [Thinking] attribute requires four [Potential Points].

Andy calculated.

If nothing goes wrong, Andy will be able to increase his [Thinking] attribute to [4] points around Halloween.

Furthermore, improving [Thinking] also helps to build images in the mind, which is also very helpful for Transfiguration.

Andy studied it for a while and finally made up his mind, "The next attribute I'll add is [Thinking]!"

Let’s add it to five o’clock first.

……

In the secret room, Andy read a book. When he was bored, he practiced magic for a while. When he was tired, he continued reading...

Before I knew it, it was already midnight.

"what--"

Andy yawned.

"I feel sleepy so early today... am I too tired?" Generally speaking, Andy can stay up until after 2 a.m. on Fridays.

After tidying up the laboratory, Andy put the information he needed to take away into the bag of the space extension spell.

Getting ready to go back to the dorm...

"correct!"

Andy suddenly thought of something and took the Marauder's Map out of his pocket.
