Chapter 574 The delayed start of school

“I’m sorry, Professor Adams, I’m afraid I can’t accept your invitation. I have a lot of things to do, and I have a group of students that I have finally gathered together.”

After having a very friendly exchange of information about the Dream Tree with Professor Adams, Andrew had to say this to the professor with regret.

Although he was very interested in the information about the Dream Tree, school was about to start and he had a lot of work to do, so it was obviously impossible for him to go to South America to watch.

And there was another problem. His herbology was only at the top level among his peers, so it wouldn’t be of much use if he went there – just like the knowledge reserves of the Muggle world limited the exploration of most wizards, his exploration of the wizarding world also temporarily stopped him.

“That’s a shame, Taylor.”

Professor Adams shook his head. “I was originally planning to go with you when the dean came back, but now it seems that I have to go alone.”

“I have to be more responsible, Professor Adams. Our dean has already criticized me for this kind of thing,” Andrew smiled. “Besides, there are also benefits to not watching it. At least let it grow freely for a while. It may be better without my involvement.”

He wasn’t joking, he really meant it.

Although it sounds a bit strange, this is indeed a large-scale experimental project in which he had no participation and no ideas, and it sounds quite effective.

This is good, this is how the wizarding world should be – to develop without relying on anyone, but not to stop moving and developing without anyone.

He believed that even without him, the wizarding world would not remain stubborn and not change for decades or even hundreds of years. When Hogwarts Castle was first built, there were no faucets or flush toilets, let alone the Hogwarts Express.

He is just a lucky guy who knows a little about the future and has the talent to push the times faster.

“It’s impossible that after decades of information age, maps of cities are still the same old things, right?”

“What are you talking about, Taylor?” Professor Adams shook his head. “You can’t do the light-generating technology without me. Don’t forget that. Forget it. If I don’t go this time, I’ll have to wait for the Easter holiday. If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to go on a business trip during the summer vacation. We’ll see then.”

“We’ll talk about it then, Professor.”

Andrew stood up and said goodbye to Professor Adams. “I have to get back to work. We have come up with something new that will probably be shown after school starts. If you haven’t left by then, you’re welcome to go and see it, Professor.”

He has made up his mind to do a good job – although what he is going to do is a bit strange, it is indeed very entertaining and is a good way to unite people.

“That’s pretty much it.”

Hermione looked up at her teammates.

“Um, Granger,” Irving reminded quietly, “You have some dark circles under your eyes.”

“It doesn’t matter. Now is not the time to worry about that,” Hermione waved her hand. “According to the hint from that damn golden egg, we have prepared everything and are almost ready for the duel.”

There was not much fatigue in her eyes. “School is about to start. Let me reiterate our duel order. I’m the second to last, Diggory is the last, and Flack is the third to last. Graham will take the lead.”

“no problem.”

The three of them nodded in unison. The first match was enough for them to recognize this warrior who defeated Taylor, and in the subsequent library raid she impressed the others with her profound knowledge.

If she hadn’t insisted on letting Cedric, the top-ranked sixth-grade student, be the last-place answerer, the others would have wanted her to be the last one. There was no other way. The hint given by the golden egg was vague. She could only force herself to pursue the last-place answer. Anyway, she thought she could beat everyone else, so she could do it herself – that’s what Mrs. Montgomery did.

“Then, I suggest that we start the review phase before school starts, and try to make the things mentioned in the prompts into various modes for question and answer, so that we can make the final sprint – after all, there will not be much time after school starts.”

“The game is on February 2th, there is still some time, we are really not before the game…”

Cedric wanted to say something, but was glared back at by Hermione.

“If you all have no objections, let’s make it this way,” Hermione raised the parchment in her hand, “Everyone mark the 100 most difficult knowledge points, and then we can exchange questions with each other. This must be done before school starts.”

She has now completely regained her confidence – she may not be able to beat the other warriors in a duel, but when it comes to answering questions, she is not even afraid of Taylor!

“School is about to start. Can we really do this, Andrew?”

Hal asked with a sad face – they were not strong enough, and after being forcibly captured by Andrew to serve as soldiers, they were unable to adapt to the work.

They could still handle some of the script work, but the level of spells and transfiguration they were able to perform due to the related dream construction was simply not enough.

“It’s done. I’ll go get some help.”

Andrew responded while casting the spell – he was very satisfied with the progress.

It was unknown what kind of magic the dean cast on Dumbledore, but he actually agreed to authorize the creation of a dream that did not conflict with a legend.

In order to prevent the style from being too much like a legend, he was only responsible for providing relevant information and magical support during this period, and gave all the scripts to his roommates.

“Pull someone else?”

“Those who performed best at the tea party can be brought over to join the production. Anyway, we have almost finished the preliminary work. The students look like students, the professors look like professors, and Hogwarts looks like Hogwarts – but we still need to work on the script, Hughes.”

“No problem,” Hughes waved his hand, “I also invited Professor Black to provide facial support. He is happy to play his grandfather, the headmaster.”

???

No. Has this job been assigned to you?
Hughes, don’t mess around! You’re here to write scripts, not to find roles for dreams!
Besides, which movie villain has a face like Sirius?

Who is the villain here?

“Ah, Professor Black is willing to act? That’s great!”

Hal was still messing around, “This makes it more realistic and convincing!”

…

Forget it, let it be destroyed. Andrew decided that it would be safer to keep an eye on Hughes and not let him change the script at random – Sirius had been a villain before, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.

‘That’s the problem. It’s okay to make it uglier when projecting real people!’
