284. A painful weekend

A new week arrives, and Scott is in complete hecticism.

He's already about to face. In the fifth grade, the usual class tasks and essay assignments are a bit heavier than in the first four years, which basically occupies most of the usual time.

Scott also participates in two after-school clubs, Transfiguration and Charms, outside of his classes, which further burdens him.

But Scott was not satisfied with this, and made a plan to carry it out.

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

Of course, the focus of his studies at this stage was on the Transfiguration of the Human Body, more flexible ways of casting spells, and the skillful use of ancient magic circuits.

Some of the fifth-grade classes on Transfiguration have been initially covered, but more often than not, Scott has to consult with Professor McGonagall in the Transfiguration Club and other outside of class time, as well as self-study based on her recommended book list.

The more flexible way to cast spells is inseparable from Scott's own private practice and Professor Flitwick's guidance.

Fortunately, Professor Flitwick spared no effort in cultivating Scott.

On Tuesday nights between the Transfiguration Club and the Charms Club, Scott spends time in the Charms training room that accompanies Professor Flitwick's office.

The skillful use of the magic circuit, this is also a learning project that can only rely on learning accumulation to slowly improve.

Scott was not too eager in this subject, because it was useless to be anxious.

Demon writing is magic, but also language, what he can do is to speed up the acquisition of knowledge in this area and increase the amount of reading.

The new weekend was not surprisingly spent in Scott's studies.

Except for the Sunday afternoon, when he went to consult with Professor Babling on time, he spent the rest of the day in the Responsive Room.

His task for these two days was to organize what he had learned in a week with the help of a Ravenclaw mentor, and the goal was to savor and digest them completely.

"Only then will you be able to better welcome new knowledge next week." The Ravenclaw instructor in the painting is smiling kindly.

At this time, Scott especially missed the Ravenclaw crown.

As long as he wears that light 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 look on Scott's face is too obvious, and Ravenclaw reads through his thoughts easily.

"Looks like you've tried the role of the crown."

The Ravenclaw instructor in the painting speaks in a cordial tone.

"It was my highest masterpiece in alchemy, and yes, of course it works."

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

"But I want to remind you that I was already one of the most powerful wizards of the time when I made the tiara, becoming 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's heart tightened when he heard her words.

"I'm sorry, mentor." He lowered his head, "It's me who is too lax." ”

"It's normal to want to be a little slack, kid."

Ravenclaw's kindness and kindness remained the same.

"But you have to overcome, with your willpower. Don't rely too much on something until you reach a certain level, all you can rely on is your own mind and magic! ”

Scott continued to listen with his head down.

Ravenclaw smiled and asked, "The sword swinging arm needs to be trained, and the galloping legs and feet need to be trained, what makes you think that your mind and magic don't need to be trained?" ”

"I see." Scott said, "When my mind is wiser, when my magic is better able to carry out my will, a magic item like a crown can help me more." ”

Ravenclaw nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time, Scott also completely calmed down.

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

Otherwise, even he will inevitably have a slack mood.

It wasn't until 9 p.m. on Sunday night that Scott finally achieved his goal with difficulty.

He used his mind to do what he imagined could only be done with a crown.

Of course, the Ravenclaw tutor helped him a lot, and he learned a better and more efficient way to digest knowledge.

The two days of continuous brain use on the weekend even made his mind a little dizzy, and after leaving the room of requirement, he left the eighth floor and walked down the stairs with some trepidation.

The stairs spin, and he meets Hermione, who is also mentally drained, around the corner of the fourth floor.

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

"Good evening, Scott, you don't look very good either." Hermione said.

Scott glanced at the gold chain around her neck, "Don't tell me you're still using that thing over the weekend." ”

"Oh, you're ......"

Hermione nervously raised her hand to cover her neckline.

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

"Nope." 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 observant, and people can always spot something unusual. ”

Time Converter.

This stuff is a semi-open secret in Ravenclaw.

Hermione nodded hesitantly.

Scott was about to say goodbye to her, but she asked puzzled, "Why don't you have one?" ”

Scott shrugged his shoulders, "I only took three electives. ”

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

She thought for a moment and came up with a statement, "I thought you'd care more about grades." ”

"You're wrong, I don't really care about test scores." "I just care if I'm learning something useful," Scott said. ”

"I think all the knowledge is useful!" Hermione looked at Scott disapprovingly, "That's why the school has these programs. ”

"Maybe." Scott casually said, "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 and omnipotent, we can only choose the parts that are useful for us to learn." ”

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

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

Scott smiled again.

"You can choose all the courses and then choose among them, and you can drop out of the electives."

After saying that, he waved his hand, took advantage of the stairs downstairs to spin, and stepped directly in.
