Hogwarts is a place full of competition.
Every year, the House Cup, the Quidditch match champion, including the examination results of the young wizards ... The four Heads of the House seem to be breezy on the surface, but in their hearts, they are very concerned about the situation.
Now that an outstanding young wizard is emerging in Ravenclaw after a long time, Professor Flitwick certainly won't just show off to Dumbledore alone.
Early this morning, Professor Flitwick incarnated into Santa Claus and gave the Headmaster and the other three Heads of House a Christmas gift two months in advance.
--The latest issue of The Future of the Charm.
Professor McGonagall put down the magazine in her hand with some disdain in her heart. I'm the Deputy Headmistress, what are you, a head of house, showing off to me?
Andy is also my student, okay?
When I become the Headmistress, the Sorting Hat will expect to lose its job!
Hey! Dumbledore has been old and senile, it is time for him to step aside and give way.
As for Gryffindor House ...
Professor McGonagall has long since got disillusioned.
As long as this year's house points weren't at the bottom, Professor McGonagall would feel satisfied.
Professor Sprout's mindset was very good, although Hufflepuff had a low reputation, there were a lot of excellent talents. Diligence and hard work are what symbolize Hufflepuff, and a momentary success or failure does not represent anything at all.
As for Andy Collins ...
Professor Sprout felt that Andy had the talent to become a good Herbologist and that he could become a master Herbologist if he focused more on herbology.
He should follow me to farm the field!
Snape was in a bad mood right now because Dumbledore had once again rejected his job application - he wanted to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts class professor.
As for the paper published by some annoying young wizard ...
Snape had only one thought right now, and that was that beating up students needed to be done before it was too late. Otherwise, when your student grows up, it will be uncertain which of the two will be beating up whom.
It was just a pity that he was the Potion class professor.
Snape thought to himself, if he were the Defense Against the Dark Arts class professor, he would be able to deliver a Dangling Jinx shot at Harry in the name of giving guidance on 'Defense Against the Dark Arts'.
This was Snape's dream.
For this reason, Snape was willing to suffer the curse of Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and he was fearless.
What could a Potions professor do? Can he beat up young wizards?
No!
Potions professors can only ask questions.
***
On this day, Andy was warmly greeted by many professors.
No matter what class he went to, Andy was the focal student in the professor's eyes.
The new Defense Against the Dark Arts class professor--Joseph Leddy even said on the spot that Andy had surpassed him in Defense Against the Dark Arts.
"Andy, did you cast a Confundus Charm on the professor?"
On the way to the great hall, Ron staggered, "Oh jeez! The way the professors are looking at you, it's almost like they're looking at, looking at ... well ..."
Please forgive Ron's lack of sophistication; he simply couldn't think of an appropriate adjective.
"A gem!" Harry added.
Ron nodded vigorously, "Right! That's what I meant."
"That's because Andy published a paper that was good enough to progress the development of magic," Hermione said triumphantly.
"What paper?" Harry asked curiously.
"Andy, you published a paper on magic spells? How come we haven't heard anything about it?" Ron said with an exaggerated look on his face.
Andy was a bit helpless, "Probably ... wait until tomorrow morning, you guys will hear the news."
Although Mr. Carbone had long said to Andy that Andy's paper would cause a stir in the entire magic world.
But how could Andy expect that even the professors' attitudes would change so drastically?
In fact, if he thought about it carefully, apart from the Obscurial, Andy could be said to be the first wizard to have completed the fusion of mind and magic.
This would play an important role in promoting the research of magic.
The mind controls magic.
This was a viewpoint recognized by all.
And more importantly, Andy's patronus was very special.
It looked as if it possessed life.
The fusion of the mind and magic can give birth to life ... This conclusion will undoubtedly allow wizards to understand the nature of magic more.
It was not just a matter of improving magic.
"Andy, what paper did you publish?" Harry asked curiously.
"It's a Patronus Charm!" Andy said.
"That's it!"
Hermione pulled out the latest issue of The Future of Charms and flipped it to the page with the motion picture printed on it, "Andy's Patronus can use magic, and it can attack with Andy."
"Patronus, what kind of magic is that?"
Andy's roommates came over as well, and Anthony said with an exaggerated look on his face, "Andy, we've lived together for over a year now, and I never knew you had published a paper."
Terry said, "I'm more curious about how strong Andy is now."
Michael guessed, "I think Andy could beat Professor Snape. Haven't you guys noticed that Professor Snape doesn't even dare to bother Andy now - even if Andy is reading other extracurricular books in his classroom."
To these innocent young wizards, Snape was the youngest of the four Heads of the House. So it was only logical that Snape was the weakest.
Harry and Ron's eyes lit up at that.
If you guys are going to talk like this, then I'm going to be sleepy.
A group of people were making so much noise that Andy's brain was fuzzy.
It was a good thing that Ravenclaw and Gryffindor were going to be separated once they reached the Great Hall. Andy pulled Hermione to sit next to the upperclassmen, which cleared the air.
"Andy, you're going to have to get used to these."
Hermione gloated and laughed, "Maybe in a few days you won't be able to keep your mind clear anymore."
Andy said sadly, "To be honest, I kind of regret it."
Hermione laughed, "Don't be sad, no one will care about that when the novelty of it all wears off."
Andy sighed, "That would be for the best."
***
Early the next morning, when the owl delivered the latest edition of the Daily Prophet, the name Andy Collins instantly spread throughout Hogwarts.
Andy was in the headlines.
And it was because of an independently improved magic spell.
Improving magic spells was actually nothing, many excellent wizards had done a similar thing when they were students. Some highly skilful wizards were even able to invent a new magic spell when they were students.
But this magic spell that Andy improved had the most fundamental difference from other magic spells in terms of meaning.
Mind and magic.
Magic and life.
This is a great discovery that can push the development of magic.
The Daily Prophet had to write about it.
The young wizards were buzzing, but they soon realized that Andy was missing.
On the seventh floor of the castle, in front of the Troll Tapestry, Hermione passed back and forth three times.
Pushing open the door to the Room of Requirement, Hermione signalled what was in her hand, "Andy, I brought you breakfast. And ... here's today's Daily Prophet, would you like to see it?"
