Chapter 654: There is only one Hogwarts King of grind

"I won't disturb you then."

As a loyal lackey, Malfoy, of course, knows when to leave. He quickly got up, nodded to Andy, and turned to open the compartment door.

Harry and Ron looked at each other.

Should we leave?

If they're not mistaken, aren't they supposed to be in this compartment?

Andy glanced at Harry and Ron, looking surprised, and asked, "You've already found them?"

"No..." Harry blurted out without thinking.

Harry: "..."

Ron: "..."

"I almost forgot about this; thanks for reminding me."

Harry and Ron glanced at each other and followed Malfoy out of the compartment.

They had to follow through with their own lie, even if it made them tear up.

"Huh!" Andy let out a silent sigh.

After seeing Malfoy, Andy finally understood why rulers in ancient times liked flatterers.

Because flatterers can provide a lot of emotional satisfaction.

They can make the ruler feel good.

"I think you should explain…"

After everyone had left, Hermione turned to Andy and asked, raising an eyebrow, "That night... which night was it? The Quidditch World Cup?"

"Oh, yes!"

Andy nodded. "Do you remember that night when Dumbledore's phoenix took me away? It was what happened afterwards."

"Why didn't you talk about it then?" Hermione was puzzled.

Because it didn't happen till later.

Andy thought for a moment and said seriously, "This has to be kept a secret."

"But now everyone knows," Hermione complained.

"I didn't expect anyone to see it."

Andy felt quite innocent when it came to this matter. "Never mind; if they know, they know. It's not a big deal anyway."

"You won?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Mm-hm!" Andy smiled proudly and bragged about it briefly.

***

The train began to move slowly, and by the time it reached Hogwarts, it was already dark.

Knock, knock!

There was a knock on the door.

Harry and Ron opened the door and entered the compartment.

"We don't want to disturb you, but we need to change out of our regular clothes, and... our robes are here... the train is about to reach the station," Harry said.

His suitcase and Ron's suitcase were both here.

"Thanks!" Andy said.

In any case, the two of them really didn't come back.

By the time everyone had changed into their wizard robes, the train had already stopped.

Getting off the train, Andy looked at the towering Hogwarts Castle in the distance and couldn't help but sigh, "It's been four years..."

Four years is a short time.

But Andy had changed beyond recognition in those four short years – from a novice with a superficial knowledge of magic to a wizard now standing at the top of the wizarding world.

To this day, Andy still feels like he's in a dream.

"To be precise... it's been three years."

Hermione said with a smile. "The fourth year has only just begun."

"Yes. Three years..."

Andy sighed, "Three years of studying magic, now I can defeat Voldemort... doesn't that make it seem a bit too easy?"

Hermione: "..."

"Let's go!" Andy called.

Looking at the castle in the distance, Andy was already looking forward to the new school year.

The theme for the fourth year will be love and alchemy!

According to all the clues, 'love' is the most powerful mental force in the world.

But how to master it... Andy still had no idea.

As for alchemy...

Andy had wanted to dabble in alchemy for a long time, especially after learning about the ultimate creation of alchemy: the Philosopher's Stone.

It was the only proven way in the magical world to achieve a long life.

Andy was looking forward with great anticipation.

The idea of travelling the universe... If he wanted to solve the problem of survival in space, alchemy would be an essential part of the solution.

An alchemical spaceship?

Mecha?

Just thinking about it made him all tingly. 

After getting into the Thestral carriage, Andy opened the system panel.

[Potential points: 4]

Left attributes:

[Charm: 7]

[Transfiguration: 6]

[Dark magic: 6]

[Alchemy: 3]

[Divination: 3]

Right attributes:

[Magic: 6]

[Constitution: 4]

[Soul: 5]

[Thinking: 5]

[Will: 7]

After the magic transfiguration, the [Constitution] attribute is added.

Improving the [Constitution] attribute can enhance the power of magic transfiguration.

After the mind and magic are fused, the [Mind] attribute disappeared, and it was taken over by the new [Magic] attribute.

The previous [Magic] attribute only represented the length of the blue bar, but now [Magic] also represents magical attack power.

'So satisfying!'

Andy was filled with satisfaction after looking at the system panel.

Although most attributes have not yet been raised to level 7, the key attributes have already been improved, and in only a matter of time, the remaining attributes will be increased as well.

'Constitution, Thinking, Alchemy…'

Andy decided to first raise these three attributes to level 7.

[Constitution] involves the power of magical transfiguration. If Andy wants to explore the dimension of death, he must improve his [Constitution] attribute.

[Thinking] affects the speed of learning and the casting speed of transfiguration.

If he wants to learn alchemy, he must master a large amount of relevant theoretical knowledge.

Andy really needs to improve this attribute.

"Hermione, do you think..."

The carriage moved slowly, making Andy's voice a little hazy. "Is there any possibility of using alchemy to create a spaceship to explore space?"

"Er..."

Hermione was taken aback and then looked at Andy with a stunned look on her face. "Why would you think of something like that?"

"Is there anything wrong with it?" Andy asked in return.

"No..."

Hermione said, "I'm just a little taken aback."

In the Muggle world, alchemy is the primitive form of chemistry, and its main aim was to turn ordinary metals into precious metals, especially gold.

But in the wizarding world, alchemy is more than just chemistry.

Alchemy items and enchanted items are completely different.

"Why are you suddenly interested in space?"

Hermione asked, raising an eyebrow. "Andy, you might be the first wizard to have this idea."

"I'm only interested in alchemy."

Andy said. "This semester, I plan to study alchemy. As for exploring the universe... that could be decades from now; it's only an idea for now."

"That's a great idea; I support you."

Hermione laughed, "I hope you can make it happen."

"Thanks!"

Looking up at the stars, Andy sighed, "There are so many unanswered questions in this world, and I always feel like I don't have enough time."

"It's not possible to know everything," Hermione leaned on his shoulder and said as she looked at the stars from the window.

"It's just that I'm a bit curious…"

Andy put his hands behind his head and laughed. "Actually, thinking about stuff like that is a bit pointless. We have to focus on the task at hand."

"I just want to set a goal for myself."

"Having a goal means we know which direction to work towards, and it will motivate us to study harder."

"To be honest, I kind of miss the school library."

Hermione: "..."

There is only one Hogwarts king of grind!
