Can the mischievous boy from Hawkeye be as naughty as the boy from Gryphon?

Chapter 29 Can the mischievous boys of Hawkeye be as naughty as those of Gryphon?

"call--"

Andy took a deep breath.

Professor Flitwick is a very talented professor. He is not only extremely patient, but also the Dean of Ravenclaw, and he and Andy are naturally close.

Andy decided to make a lasting impression on Professor Flitwick so that he could ask him for advice on magic in the future.

Looking at the sand on the table, Andy didn't chant a spell, but just casually waved his wand—it wasn't even the standard gesture for a cleansing spell.

The sand on the table disappeared instantly.

"Oh! What do I see? A beautiful silent spell!"

Professor Flitwick was so excited he almost fainted. Ravenclaw had really struck gold this year, and with two of them at that.

He had, of course, already guessed that Andy had practiced magic beforehand.

However, practicing magic in advance does not mean that you can use magic to this extent.

If your understanding of a spell is not deep enough, then even if you practice it ten thousand times, you will still remain at the same level.

Learning magic is never about blindly waving a wand; it's about developing a deeper understanding based on existing knowledge.

Based solely on the few questions Andy asked in class, Professor Flitwick was certain that Andy must have conducted in-depth research on magic.

"Ravenclaw, add five points!" Professor Flitwick shouted excitedly.

He felt a slight sense of pride.

Earlier, in the faculty lounge, Professor McGonagall had teased him, asking him how he planned to deal with the Ravenclaw troublemakers.

Andy was quite well-known among the Hogwarts professors, after all, he was the first young wizard to dare to challenge Dumbledore.

Professor Flitwick couldn't help but think, "Professor McGonagall should really see for himself whether our Ravenclaw rascals are the same as your Gryffindor rascals."

The Gryffindor rascal is truly mischievous, while our Ravenclaw rascal—he might just be more thoughtful and have considered things more deeply.

"By the way, Mr. Collins, what classes do you first-year students have in the afternoon?" Professor Flitwick asked suddenly, as if he had just thought of something.

"It's a Transfiguration class, Professor!"

Andy replied, "It's Professor McGonagall's class."

awesome!

Professor Flitwick clenched his fist, preparing to ambush Professor McGonagall in the faculty lounge after Andy and the others finished class.

I really want to see her expression then.

Andy: "?"

What's wrong with the professor?

"Ahem! You guys continue practicing."

Professor Flitwick turned around nimbly, as if nothing had happened. "You must be firm in your understanding, chant the incantation clearly and fluently, and make standard gestures."

At this moment, the young wizards had no mind to practice the cleansing spell. What did they see?

A young wizard in their class had already mastered the skill of silent spellcasting.

This is a high-level spellcasting technique that many adult wizards cannot master.

Even if some young wizards don't understand what silent spellcasting means, other young wizards will enthusiastically give them magic.

"He's really amazing," Harry said, looking at Andy with a hint of envy.

He hasn't successfully cast a single spell yet, and he's starting to doubt whether he has any talent for it.

"Yes! He's loved reading since he was a child." Ron patiently recounted to Harry his visits to Andy—every time he saw Andy, Andy was at home reading.

"We need to read more books too," Ron decided.

But a short while later, Ron invited Harry to play wizard chess after class, because he had come up with a new idea.

"You really mastered the technique of silent spellcasting?" Hermione looked at Andy in shock.

"How is that possible?"

Andy shrugged and said, "Just this one spell. Ever since I learned this spell, Mom has made me the one who does all the cleaning."

Moreover, the sand on the table is very obvious, which is already the simplest application of the cleansing spell.

"That's still quite remarkable."

Hermione said, "At least you already have experience in this area."

"It's not that simple!"

Andy shook his head and said, "Different spells have different principles. You need to master the principles of each spell and integrate them into your magic."

boom!!!

Andy was whispering to Hermione when a sudden explosion came from the classroom, startling Andy so much that he immediately drew his wand.

"Obstacles are numerous!"

Andy: "..."

Okay, this explosion wasn't that big of a deal. It was just a small explosion caused by a minor spell cast by a young Gryffindor wizard.

Its power is about the same as a firecracker.

Andy remembered that the little wizard's name was Seamus Finigan.

Uh… it’s that little wizard who blew up the fertilizer bin during herb class.

Andy decided that he should never offend this person unless absolutely necessary.

Imagine you're dueling with Mr. Finnigan, but whatever spell he utters will trigger an explosive effect. Are you scared yet?

An hour and twenty minutes passed quickly, and at exactly twelve o'clock, the spell class ended.

Andy had also witnessed the overall level of this year's young wizards.

By the end of get out of class, only a few young wizards had reduced the amount of sand on the table; most of their spells had no effect whatsoever.

However, this does not mean that these young wizards are not very talented.

On the contrary, as long as they study at Hogwarts for seven years, they will at least have a considerable level of magic when they grow up.

There's a reason why the wizarding world stipulates that young wizards must start school at eleven.

Young wizards have poor comprehension skills and find it difficult to regulate their thoughts and emotions. In addition, their magic is not stable before the age of eleven.

However, this will soon improve once they have lived at Hogwarts for a while.

After all, Hogwarts is specifically for teaching these kinds of things.

The afternoon transformation class didn't start until 2 PM.

After lunch, Andy wanted to go to the library to read, but Hermione insisted on going to the abandoned classroom to practice spells.

Andy, of course, didn't care.

For Andy, practicing magic and reading books were essentially the same thing, as long as it improved his strength.

Since there was a Transformation class in the afternoon, Andy decided to practice his Transformation magic.

Like spells, transfiguration requires a great deal of magical theory to support it.

To transform one substance into another, you must master the properties of both substances simultaneously, and then add a great deal of repeated practice before you can fully master the transformation magic.

Andy had read many books on the subject and practiced Transfiguration magic at home.

Moreover, Andy had his mother Helen's guidance, plus his high Transformation talent of four points, so Andy's progress in Transformation was actually quite fast.

Hermione, on the other hand, continued practicing her spells.

She planned to first master the technique of throwing the glowing spell, and then practice other spellcasting techniques.

After all, aiming too high is a major taboo in learning.
