This is what Ravenclaw looks like.

"Concentrated practice..."

Andrew stood on the lawn beside the black lake and continued today's magic practice - although practicing this already very proficient range of spells day after day seemed a bit monotonous, he still did not slack off.

'The grass is turning yellow...'

Andrew carefully observed the surrounding references, trying hard to make the grass created by his transformation technique the same as the rest - the difference could be easily seen in the place where he first practiced.

'In winter, there will probably be a sudden green patch...'

But there was no way - it was too difficult for him to completely create a growing turf out of nothing, even with seeds, let alone such a simple transformation like daily training.

'No matter how much I imitate, I still can't blend in...'

Andrew sighed, confirmed that he couldn't do better today, and started to pack up and leave.

The next step is to go back to the castle to complete homework and preview courses, and continue with ordinary daily life.

Of course, next month's manuscript is also in a hurry - it will probably be ready tomorrow, but the deadline is still early...

'We should write about the break in the next issue - I haven't received any requests for revisions during this period. Marginalizing the little witch is the right choice...'

'The Charms class is barely keeping up with Professor Flitwick's requirements, but Ron seems to be working harder than before this week... Do you think I'm going to take first place? Or something else? ’

It's unknown, but Andrew doesn't care anyway - he only cares about what achievements he has to achieve in range transformation to pass the test of the two professors.

At present, it seems that it is far from enough.

'Stop thinking about it, let's go back and work on the astronomical star map first. The astrology device Dumbledore gave us is so useful...'

——

The next day, the Potions class listened to Professor Snape angrily yelling at everyone, and then went to the greenhouse to learn the transplantation and cultivation of new herbs.

After lunch, there was a Transfiguration class in the afternoon - still getting five points for Ravenclaw.

Then, the usual duty - I will go to Black Lake later to continue to figure out the range deformation, and everything will be ready.

Beautiful and busy daily life, if the transformation process can progress faster, Andrew feels that he can happily improve until he is resurrected without a nose.

However, daily life at Hogwarts is never that boring.

Just as Andrew was helping Professor McGonagall carry his homework and walk all the way to the office, the person who appeared when he opened the door was not only Huffman, who was on routine duty, but also a face that Andrew had never thought of.

Dumbledore refreshed with a smile and some annoyance.

…

Andrew became energetic almost instantly - No, if you have any opinions, tell the editorial department, why are you here, Professor!

"Something unfortunate happened today."

Dumbledore was sitting at his desk, while Halfman was correcting and eavesdropping. Seeing this posture, Andrew's slightly flustered heart stabilized.

Probably not - it all happened last year.

"A student broke into my office and committed an act of theft."

Dumbledore was even smiling when he said this - it was not as if he was being robbed, but as if he was telling a not-so-funny joke.

? ? ?

Do you want to listen to what you are saying, Principal!

There are stone statues guarding the door, a bunch of portraits of past principals, and even a limited-edition top-notch pet from the Wizarding World with flashing lights and special effects. Under the watchful eyes of these people, someone stole something?

This joke is not funny at all - you might as well say someone escaped from Azkaban, which would be much more believable.

Not to mention Andrew's doubts, even Professor McGonagall's expression was not very friendly.

"Albus, we still have a lot of work to do today... I really can't imagine that your office will be stolen. Did Fawkes go on vacation?"

"No, no, of course not, it's just that it's dying of old age."

Ah, this...

It's such a shame.

Andrew couldn't help but sigh, and then immediately reacted - almost dying of old age? Phoenix?

"Yes, that's right," Dumbledore said with a smile on his face, "so it was too lazy to move and allowed the intruders to break in."

Is this a phoenix or a silly dog ​​that shakes hands with everyone he meets?

"What about the previous principals?"

"The Disillusionment Curse, they said they didn't see it clearly, and they thought it was a lot of fun, so they didn't bother to warn them."

…

It’s not surprising that this school collapsed tomorrow.

"What about the Sorting Hat? It always warns or... at least has some fun, right?"

Professor McGonagall and Andrew probably had the same view.

"It was just that it was kidnapped - it is said that they just chatted for a few words..."

Dumbledore actually shrugged his shoulders, leaving Andrew not sure how to comment for a moment.

Anyway, Huffman, who was on the background next to him, had no desire to work at all, and he was almost trying not to laugh out loud.

It was the right choice - because Professor McGonagall laughed out loud.

"Albus, you mean that the Sorting Hat that was left over from the founding of the school, Gryffindor's own hat, and that has been worked diligently for nearly a thousand years, was abducted by someone with a few words?"

"That's right, Minerva."

Dumbledore looked unusually calm - but Andrew next to him was numb.

The Sorting Hat ran away from home?

If you can't find a more junior principal, just wait to resign!

What should we do if school starts next year without this thing?

What if someone leads me astray? What if I don’t call the college to call Azkaban when the semester starts next year? Should I recommend the freshmen to Azkaban?

He wouldn't even dare to write a magic legend like this! The editor will reject the manuscript and the readers will scold you!

You can't be so calm when this thing is lost, Headmaster, this is enough for you to resign and let Professor McGonagall take over!

"Must be a Gryffindor student!"

Professor McGonagall was obviously angry, but it was not obvious, "Only they can come up with such a top-level prank!"

…

Professor, what have you gone through to be able to control your anger to this level?

"I also think it's very possible..."

Dumbledore nodded, obviously very confident in the Gryffindor students, "But you can't wait for them to come back. You still have to find them."

This kind of thing cannot be made public yet - because of Dumbledore's tolerance, some newspapers are good at criticizing, and Andrew felt outrageous even if the Sorting Hat was lost, let alone the graduates.

This cannot be said to be contrary to tradition, it is simply to dig up the roots of tradition!

"You two, stop working now and go find Percy... No, the rest of the people are also looking for you. Don't announce what happened, just secretly look for the Gryffindor student suspected of committing the crime..."

Do you really not doubt the professors from other colleges?

But Professor McGonagall was very sure, "Don't let anyone go, even if they are usually honest. The more they are, the more likely they are to commit crimes..."
