#149 - summer vacation
Flitwick considered it for a while and then nodded. In his eyes, Anduin was a cautious, careful, and determined person, so he acquiesced to his research. New reading on Book 69 М
With an idea in mind, the next step was to collect information. After returning to the Slytherin common room, Anduin found Rozier and asked him to inform those pure-blood wizards that as long as they provided magic books related to bloodline magic, each book could offset one month's protection fee, provided that Anduin hadn't seen that version before.
And those little wizards who were being blackmailed saw that Anduin kept his word and didn't mention the previous attack again. The magic books they had offered could actually be returned, which relieved them a lot. Many of them had initially considered running away like Yaxley.

Since Anduin didn't push his luck, and the so-called protection fee was just providing some family藏书 for him to copy, this was too easy for those little wizards who didn't know they were digging into their family's resources. They even secretly mocked Anduin for being stupid, only knowing how to blackmail useless magic books.
By extorting these little wizards, Anduin gained a lot in the next few months. He had hundreds of Galleons, plus various magic books, alchemy materials, etc., which made his wallet swell.
In terms of charm research, he also made considerable progress. After several optimizations, the Stupefy Charm had been greatly improved, and the Energy Storage Charm had also entered the experimental stage. However, the research on measuring magic power storage was still stuck in the accumulation stage.
The many scholars he had long-term exchanges with provided him with a lot of ideas for his research, but unfortunately, there was no direct help. Even Bones had no way to solve this problem.
What he lacked most was still live experimental data. He didn't dare to do human experiments at school, and he couldn't test it on himself.
The progress in training was also gratifying. Since the duel that day, Anduin had conducted a period of high-intensity training for everyone who participated in the training, squeezing every last bit of physical strength and magic power from them every day, making everyone complain.
Vivian was even more resentful. According to her, she had to endure Professor Letty's mental destruction in class, and Anduin's physical destruction after class, which made her talk less recently.
Anduin and Charles were very happy with Vivian's change, finally they didn't have to listen to her nagging every day.
The effect of high-intensity training was also very obvious. From the data collected by Anduin, everyone who received special training had visible progress in magic power perception, control, and storage compared to the previous conventional training, special training made his experimental data more intuitive. It's a pity that the accuracy of these data is still vague, and the quantitative research on magic power still needs to continue. →
However, you have to eat one bite at a time. The lack of materials and data prevented the research from proceeding smoothly, and Anduin couldn't continue in terms of time.
Because the third year is about to end.
After being stuck in Hogwarts for so long, he didn't plan to stay in school this summer. He planned to visit some friends and try to collect information on bloodline magic and alchemy materials.
And there was one person Anduin had never forgotten, and that was Yaxley. Anduin would not allow his enemies to hide in the dark, it was better to deal with them as soon as possible, but due to the laws of the wizarding world, he couldn't just rush up and kill them. He wasn't going to ruin the good image he had built up for so long.
"So, I have to stage another show to lure the snake out of its hole. There are so many rules in this damn place in England, it's unpleasant." Anduin took out a strangely shaped compass from his body and muttered to himself.
Time passed quickly, and the final exams came as scheduled, but this year was a little different, of course, not reflected in Anduin. He still passed with all A's without any surprises.
What was surprising was Vivian. After this period of training, Vivian actually got E's in most subjects, and even an O in Charms.
Every year, the final exam was very painful and tangled for Vivian. In the past, if Anduin hadn't tutored her, she wouldn't even be able to pass normally, but this year Vivian stood up. Her grades even surprised Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall, who thought this gossip girl had suddenly become enlightened.
"Haha, you didn't see Professor Flitwick's expression when he saw me successfully repair that clock with the Repairing Charm. That was really classic!" On the train leaving Hogwarts, Vivian enthusiastically showed off to Charles and Velen.
Anduin couldn't help but roll his eyes at her. This girl had mentioned this for the eighth time, and he didn't expect that Professor Flitwick would actually use the clock he gave him the year before for the final exam, and even broke the clock to pieces. Did the professor not like giving clocks as gifts?
"That proves that the training program arranged for you is effective. We have to increase the amount to consolidate it next semester," Anduin said lightly.
"Uh" Vivian couldn't help but slap herself in the face. She really poked at a sore spot.
Charles in the carriage also glanced at Vivian speechlessly and changed the subject: "This year, that Professor Letty is really desperate. The final exam actually asked us to deal with Boggarts. We were almost on vacation, but he still made us see such scary things."
Anduin nodded. Charles's words reminded him of the large pot of stargazy pie that Boggart turned into during the final exam, and his stomach churned.
"That's right, dealing with Boggarts should have been a happy and pleasant thing, but he made us all depressed," Vivian followed the topic and babbled about things in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Thinking of that extremely negative Professor Letty, Anduin was curious whether he would be cursed after teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts at school for a year. He heard from the seniors in the Charms Club that the professor seemed to have become like this because of a curse.
Charles next to him saw him dazed and interjected: "Anduin, where are you going this summer? Do you want to come to my house to spend the holiday together?"
"Forget it," Anduin shook his head. "I promised Mrs. Longbottom that I would accompany her this summer. It's not easy for her to take care of the whole family by herself. I have to go and help."
Hearing Anduin mention the Longbottom family, Charles's mood also became a little low, and then he seemed to remember something and said hatefully: "The murderer from the Travers family actually escaped the trial with the protection of his family, it's really hateful."
