Chapter 77 The principal and the vice-principal have fallen
On Saturday, the papers used for data analysis and deformation techniques had basically completed the preliminary classification.
The limit of object deformation is generally summarized as ten times, and more specifically, no wizard has ever calculated it.
Sunday, Gryffindor common room.
"No wonder wizards are bad at math."
Vincent picked up a small brass balance scale, "The scale was invented by the ancient Egyptians more than 5,000 years ago using the pole principle. It is still used in the magic world until now."
"Interference with electronic equipment really hinders development."
Hermione felt the shortcomings of magic for the first time.
If the Statute of Secrecy continues, nothing will change in the magical world for a thousand years.
At that time, Muggles were probably already flying in spaceships to explore other planets in the galaxy.
As soon as the idea came to her mind, she imagined herself becoming the Minister of Magic and being ousted by most wizards because she planned to break the British Isles out of the Statute of Secrecy.
The Malfoys were the hardest working, and Draco even brought his wife and children to protest.
"what's on your mind?"
"Nothing." Hermione quickly recorded the stone on the left side of the brass scale that had grown ten times larger.
Vincent added the smallest weight to the right.
"Alas - there is a Department for the Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Items. If you want to invent some anti-interference magic, you have to be taken over for tea."
"Drinking tea?" Hermione, who understood instantly, didn't record this set of data until she was completely balanced.
"I heard Ron say that Mr. Weasley's job is to prevent Muggle items from being cursed by wizards, which could lead to vicious harm."
After he added another weight, the balance tilted to the right. "I seriously doubt the accuracy of this method."

"Otherwise? Even if there is an electronic scale when we go back on vacation, we can't use magic at home."
"wait for me."
When Hermione saw him running back to the dormitory, she initially thought he was writing a letter asking her family to send a more accurate balance.
Until she saw a transparent glass with a scale.
"Are you going to calculate the volume of water?"
Vincent poured a little water on it and said, "The stone will allow moisture to adhere to it. Let's record the data of the metal first."
When Hermione saw him calmly taking out a small yellow object, the corners of her eyes twitched subconsciously.
Generally speaking, ordinary bullets are composed of four parts: warhead, cartridge case, primer, and propellant.
When the warhead is enlarged to the extreme, it can just fit into the graduated cup.
Vincent filled it with water, "How big do you think Professor McGonagall can make it?"
"It should be a little bigger."
No matter how authoritative she was, Hermione began to question the authenticity of some related papers.
"You have to use the control variable method - it seems that Professor Dumbledore will also try it."
"Control Variable?"
"I, the cup, and the warhead are all unstable factors. Only data from multiple attempts will be more accurate."
Hermione twitched her eyes again when she understood.
It's just a paper on transfiguration, and I guess I won't be able to finish it by the end of this semester.
The more the students around them listened, the more they felt that the two of them were crazy.
Even if you drag the dean into trouble, you actually dare to take advantage of the principal.
Neville, who was writing a potion essay at the next table, was stunned on the spot.
It is true that a paper that can be published in newspapers and periodicals and gain academic points is not something that ordinary people can complete.
"Where are you guys going?"
"Go to Professor McGonagall first."
Looking at the two people striding away, the senior students couldn't help but sigh.
But then they suddenly became ecstatic again.
With these two in Gryffindor, sooner or later Gryffindor will hang up and beat the other three houses.
It won't work in one or two years, but it is estimated that in four or five years, the Academy Cup will be 100% secure.
Mag, who had been cooperating all morning, was very pleased.
The limit of object deformation is indeed not 10 times, but 10.9383142562 times
But this result is only relative to her.
"Professor, can you ask Professor Dumbledore to help?"
Looking at the two pairs of big sincere eyes, Mag thought the so-called help was just like enlarging the warhead to its maximum size.
"No problem, he will be very happy."
"Thank you, Professor." Vincent took out a glass bead from his pocket, "I will change this one next."
"!!!" Mag's eyes widened slightly.
"Oh, then there are all kinds of metals, stones and wood."
At this moment, she suddenly realized what role this unborn paper would play in the development of transfiguration.
Size alone is likely to be an accurate way to identify the strength of transfiguration.
If it were expanded to include shapes and details, there would be several papers of the same level.
I'm afraid it will become harder to obtain the Transfiguration Certificate in the future.
Because of the improvement in accuracy, such earth-shaking changes have occurred.
After working all day, McGonagall finally had time to come to the principal's office.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Dumbledore agreed.
"Albus, you know the amount of work involved, right?"
"Of course, I have a lot of free time recently."
Dumbledore gently lifted the half-moon glasses on his crooked nose, "I used to think so too, but unfortunately I can only be accurate to seven decimal places now."
"Oh, I can only count to the last three." Mag took out a piece of parchment from his robe.
"Look, this is what they did all day."
Dumbledore admired these numbers for a long time.
Regardless of the differences caused by various factors, the limits of transfiguration seem to change depending on the "person".
Vincent, who is still a first-year student, can already slightly exceed ten times the theoretical limit.
Even if it was just a big or small change, the two transfiguration professors at Hogwarts, both former and current, secretly nodded with great pleasure.
"Filius said that his knowledge of magic is very solid and he can always mention very critical issues."
Dumbledore stood up and walked to the Sorting Hat on the shelf, "Mana, a very interesting concept."
"Albus, do you like him?"
"certainly."
He stretched out his hand and stroked the brim of his hat, "A natural master of Occlumency who is immune to soul-like magic is as important as an old friend of mine."
Mag, who was confused after hearing this, nodded awkwardly, "By the way, you should know about what happened on the fourth floor, right?"
Dumbledore seemed to be lost in memories, and it took a long time before he removed his hand from the Sorting Hat.
"Although it was a bit naughty, it was probably him who did it."
"I agree."
In this huge Hogwarts castle, what the vice-principal knows, the principal also knows.
"Quirinas did not have any traces of black magic on his body during the interview."
Mag was hesitant to speak, "Albus, what are you waiting for?"
"I'm not sure why." Dumbledore looked at her squarely, "Minerva, people always say that I am the greatest wizard.
But now, I am just an old principal."
"Albus, so you still know this?"
McGonagall's somewhat exaggerated expression made Dumbledore smile bitterly.
"Minerva, you know what?
I remembered again the opening dinner of more than forty years ago."
"This is something that has happened a long time ago."
"To me, everything I've ever encountered seems like it just happened."
