Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 284 284. A Painful Weekend
It's a new week and Scott is completely on the go.

He is already in the fifth grade who is about to face OWLs, and his usual classroom tasks and thesis assignments are heavier than those in the previous four years, which basically take up most of his usual time.

Scott added to his load by attending two after-school clubs, Transfiguration and Charms, in addition to his classes.

But Scott is not satisfied with this, and he will implement the plan after making it.

In order to achieve his goal as soon as possible, he squeezed all his time except for eating and sleeping, and from time to time he squeezed out time to go to the library for self-study and ask professors for advice.

Of course, the focus of his learning at this stage is human body transformation, more flexible ways of casting spells, and the proficient use of ancient rune circuits.

Some fifth-grade courses on human body transfiguration have been initially covered, but more still need to rely on Scott to consult Professor McGonagall in Transfiguration club and other extracurricular time, and self-study according to the book list recommended by her.

More flexible methods of casting spells are inseparable from Scott's own private practice and the guidance of Professor Flitwick.

Fortunately, Professor Flitwick spared no effort in his training.

On Tuesday nights when there were no club activities, he spent them in the spell training room attached to Professor Flitwick's office.

The proficient use of the rune circuit is also a learning project that can only rely on learning accumulation to gradually improve.

Scott is not overly eager in this subject, because there is no use in rushing.

The ancient rune is magic, and it is language. What he can do is to speed up the intake of knowledge in this area and increase the amount of reading.

As expected, Scott also spent the new weekend studying.

He was in the Room of Requirement, except on Sunday afternoon, when he was on time to consult with Professor Babling.

His task in these two days is to sort out the knowledge he has learned in a week with the help of the Ravenclaw tutor. The goal must be to savor and digest them thoroughly.

"Only in this way, you can better welcome the new knowledge next week." The Ravenclaw instructor in the painting smiled kindly.

At this time, Scott especially missed Ravenclaw's diadem.

As long as he wears that fluffy and gorgeous crown, he can easily organize what he has learned and consolidate his knowledge.

It can be called the temptation of the devil.

It may be that the nostalgic expression on Scott's face was too obvious, and Ravenclaw easily saw through his thoughts.

"It seems that you have already tried the effect of the crown."

The tone of the Ravenclaw mentor in the painting is still kind.

"That's my crowning achievement in alchemy, and yes, it certainly works."

She kept a kind smile on her face and looked at Scott.

"But I want to remind you that when I made the diadem, I was already one of the most powerful wizards at that time, and I became one of the four founders of this school."

Although her tone was kind, her smile was kind, and although she was just a portrait, Scott still tensed up when he heard her words.

"I'm sorry, mentor." He lowered his head, "I was too slack."

"It's normal to want to relax a little bit, kid."

Ravenclaw's kindness and kindness remained unchanged.

"But you have to overcome and use your willpower. Before you reach a certain height, don't rely too much on something. All you can rely on is your own mind and magic power!"

Scott continued to listen to the training with his head down.

Ravenclaw asked with a smile: "The arm that swings the sword needs exercise, and the legs and feet that run fast also need exercise. What makes you think that your mind and magic power don't need exercise?"

"I understand." Scott said, "When my mind is more intelligent, when my magic power can better carry out my will, magic props like crowns can help me more."

Ravenclaw nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time, Scott also completely sank his heart.

At this time, he must be grateful to have the guidance and supervision of such a mentor.

Otherwise, even he would inevitably feel slack.

Until nine o'clock on Sunday night, Scott finally achieved his goal with difficulty.

He has done with his mind what only the diadem can do in his imagination.

Of course, the Ravenclaw mentor gave him a lot of help, and he learned a better and more efficient way to digest knowledge.

The two days of continuous overuse of the brain on the weekend even made his mind a little dizzy. After leaving the on-demand room, he left the eighth floor and walked down the stairs a little sleepy.

The stairs turned, and at the corner of the fourth floor, he met Hermione, who was also depressed.

"Good evening, Hermione, you don't look well," Scott said.

"Good evening, Scott, you don't look too well," said Hermione.

Scott glanced at the gold chain around her neck. "Don't tell me you're still using that thing on weekends."

"Oh, you……"

Hermione raised her hand nervously to cover her neckline.

She looked around for a few times, then lowered her voice and asked Scott, "So, you have it too?"

"No." Scott shook his head.

"So how do you know?" Hermione asked nervously.

Scott smiled, "Ravenclaw has always had students who use this thing, and Ravenclaws are good at observing, and everyone can always find something unusual."

time converter.

This stuff is a half-open secret in Ravenclaw.

Hermione nodded hesitantly.

Scott was about to say goodbye to her, but she asked inexplicably, "Why didn't you?"

Scott shrugged. "I only took three electives."

"What?" Hermione looked at him in surprise, like a traitor, "I thought you..."

She thought about it and came up with a statement, "I think you care more about grades."

"You're wrong, I don't really care about test scores," Scott said, "I just care about whether I have learned useful knowledge."

"I think all knowledge is useful!" Hermione looked at Scott disapprovingly, "This is also the meaning of these courses in the school."

"Maybe." Scott said casually, "No knowledge in the world can be said to be useless, but we are not gods, and no matter how hard we try, we cannot be omniscient, so we can only choose the parts that are useful to us to learn."

Hermione had a blank expression on her face, "But..."

"How to choose, or both, must be decided by yourself. Your choice is related to your future."

Scott smiled again.

"Of course, you can choose all the courses first, and then make a choice among them. Elective courses are allowed to withdraw halfway."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, took advantage of the turning of the downstairs stairs, and stepped directly in.
