Inside the Room of Requirement, Andy tried the Fiendfyre Curse a few more times.
With attempt after attempt, Andy also tested the limits of his current control.
It was somewhat surprising ...
Looking at the fire eagle in front of him, which was condensed from the Fiendfyre and spread its wings up to six meters long, Andy's heart surged with excitement.
It was enough for fighting!
If he could learn the General Counter-Spell perfectly, Andy could even release a larger-scale Fiendfyre. Even if the Fiendfyre got out of control a bit, Andy would be able to cast Finite Incantatem in time to stop the Fiendfyre.
"Now, there won't be much of a problem dealing with the Basilisk."
Andy thought in his mind, 'The next step is to find a way to get the Parseltongue words that could be used in the Chamber of Secrets out of Harry's mouth.'
Enter the Chamber of Secrets, take down the Basilisk, and look for the research materials left behind by the Slytherin.
After a month, then get rid of Lockhart and get a new professor for Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Then this semester would be perfect.
Not only that...at the beginning of the school year, Andy also got magic books from China; Professor McGonagall also promised to instruct Andy on Animagus Transfiguration; and the Room of Requirement could be turned into the Headmaster's Office for Andy to go through Dumbledore's private collection of books at will.
This semester was really perfect.
Andy felt good and pleased in his heart.
More importantly, Andy had already initially closed the gap in strength.
Next, he only needed to continue practising magic hard, and Andy believed that sooner or later, he would be able to stand at the top of the magic world one day.
"I'm too good!"
Andy felt that life was really as lonely as snow.
After finishing his bout of narcissism, Andy finally began to analyse it seriously.
First of all, the reason why Andy was able to pull off the gap in strength could perhaps be attributed to talent and hard work, but the most important thing was - other people simply did not work hard.
In the case that other people didn't work hard, Andy's strength far exceeded that of his peers ... it seemed like there was nothing to be proud of.
Secondly, compared to those elite Aurors, Andy still had a certain strength gap.
While sneak attacks can work, it's a step behind if he fought hard.
After all, Andy had only been studying magic for a year.
How could a year's time be comparable to someone else's decades of hard work?
Finally, and most importantly - for breaking the limits of wizards, Andy only just had a little clue.
The limit of a wizard could also be called the limit of a human.
Andy might be able to rely on the system of adding points to raise his magic power to an extremely high level.
But there didn't seem to be any necessary connection between the length of the blue bar, and the ... magic attack.
Andy's main research directions now were three.
First: emotions, that is, the fusion of the mind and magic power.
Initial progress had already been made, but the future direction of research was still vague.
Second: magic transfiguration.
Third: compound magic.
The latter two currently only exist in the plan, magic transfiguration is too dangerous, and composite magic is extremely difficult.
In Andy's understanding, Lady Ravenclaw's composite magic was not about casting magic first and then using the second magic to augment the first magic.
That would be too much of a waste of time.
If one could use two magic, or even more at the same time in a split second, combining different magic - then there didn't seem to be any difference between that and a thought to achieve something.
***
After organizing what had happened recently, and what he was going to do in the future, Andy left the Room of Requirement in a relaxed mood.
After a good night's sleep, Andy welcomed the second Thursday of his second year.
During such times, Andy always felt a little out of place in the atmosphere of Hogwarts.
Inside the Great Hall, all the young wizards were discussing the Quidditch team selection at the weekend.
Some were well-prepared, some still didn't have much confidence, and some were ready to go to the Quidditch pitch at the end of the week to see what all the fuss was about.
Andy opened his mouth a few times before finally giving up on the idea of joining the discussion.
If you wanted to talk hard, you could talk.
It just wasn't much fun.
"Andy, are you done with those Chinese magic books?" Seemingly seeing Andy's absent-mindedness, Hermione took the initiative to chat about the topic of magic.
Actually, Hermione didn't like Quidditch too much.
Looking at the game was fine, but discussing the game was just not interesting.
"Soon!"
Andy said, "Next week! I'll have it translated for you."
"Although they are all basic magic books, there are also a lot of interesting tricks that are different from our side of the world."
Whenever this moment came, Andy felt that it was really good to have met Hermione.
Otherwise, Andy would really die of boredom at school.
He really couldn't talk to those kids.
"Do you need to use Chinese to use those spells?"
Hermione looked a bit distressed, "If I need to use Chinese, I better start learning it now."
Andy laughed, "It's not necessary, there may be differences between the two cultures, but the magic theories are similar. As long as you read and understand the magic theory, you can cast it in English as well."
Hermione patted her chest and said, "That would be best. I've been studying a bit too much lately, and I still have to look up quite a bit of information."
Andy ate in silence.
Andy's study: memorize the key points and theories, then incorporate them into his magic system.
Hermione's study: memorize the entire book.
Andy thought that he might, probably, maybe really was just a fake straight-O student.
Hermione suddenly looked at Andy and asked, "Andy, do you really want to go to S ... go to that place?"
"Don't worry."
Andy whispered, "I tried the Fiendfyre Curse, that's easy to control."
Seeing Hermione's expression change, Andy quickly explained, "I found a place, the Room of Requirement. As long as you make a request, that room can fulfil any of your needs."
"I needed a room to practice the Fiendfyre ..."
Andy said with a smile, "There is absolutely no danger."
Originally, when she heard that Andy was practising the Fiendfyre in private, Hermione felt that her heart was lifted up to her throat. However, when she heard about the Room of Requirement and Andy's practice, Hermione breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Room of Requirement?"
Hermione said with a look of surprise, "I've read in the book, the Room of Requirement is also called the Come and Go Room, it ..."
Hermione finally asked, after going over the past, present, and legendary stories of the Room of Requirement, "Can it really fulfil all of our needs?"
"At least for now, it seems to fulfil all my requests."
When he said this, Andy suddenly lured her, "Wanna go check it out? Tonight at ten o'clock, I'll wait for you in the common room, if you don't come, I'll go alone."
The young witch gave a blank look, "Did you go out on another night out?"
After saying that, Hermione suddenly realized she had asked a nonsense question.
Andy had run off to steal Snape's potion materials, a night out ... that was just a small thing, right?
"You will be expelled from Hogwarts sooner or later!"
Hermione said maliciously, "Even if you graduate successfully, sooner or later you will be thrown into Azkaban."
Andy: "..."
