As expected, Elwyn was very busy during the summer vacation.
At four in the morning on the first day of the holiday, the house-elf Dobby rushed to Elwyn's house. Just like in the past when he was at Hogwarts or Malfoy's house, he began to tidy up the house.
At six o 'clock, Mrs. Mason got up early to get ready for work, only to find that breakfast had been prepared, the garbage had been cleared, the floor, glass, and furniture had been cleaned, and even the lawn in the garden had been neatly trimmed.
This was unbelievable. She ran upstairs in a panic to ask Elwyn what was going on.
After finding out what had happened, Elwyn had to tell his mother that it was all thanks to magic.
Although it took a lot of persuasion, Mrs. Mason did not completely believe him in the end. She knew her son too well. Elwyn would never take the initiative to do housework, especially at four or five in the morning.
Seeing his mother's doubtful gaze, Elwyn smiled bitterly.
When she left his room, Elwyn immediately summoned Dobby and told him not to do this anymore, but it did not seem to be working well.
Dobby stared at Elwyn with his big, bulb-like eyes, asking him if he had done something wrong. After Elwyn said no more than ten times, he suddenly burst into tears, suspecting that Elwyn was chasing him away.
In the end, Elwyn had to comfort him instead.
Through this incident, Elwyn realized that trying to convince a house-elf to reduce his workload was asking for trouble.
Fortunately, Hogwarts Magic Newspaper had a lot of work. Otherwise, he really did not know how to deal with a "workaholic" house-elf. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↓ Say △ Net w

Unexpectedly, the sales of the newspaper during the summer vacation were no less than when he was in school.
Even without Lockhart's photos and novels, Elwyn's "Me and the Basilisk at Hogwarts" attracted a lot of interest.
Apart from young wizards, many adult wizards also started to subscribe to the newspaper. At first, they wanted to read about the secret chamber and the basilisk, but they were later attracted by the other articles in the newspaper. Most people found these articles interesting.
This was mainly due to the help of thousands of ghosts across the United Kingdom, led by the nearly headless Nick. They were now the main source of news for the newspaper. The ghosts' twenty-four hours of sleepless nights and their unique perspective, which was different from that of humans, provided Ivan with many interesting news articles and secrets of the past.
In the next few days, the success of the newspaper caused a large number of owls to fly home, which frightened Mrs. Mason. In order not to worry his mother, Iven had no choice but to change his address to Hogwarts. He asked Dobby to collect and organize the mail every day before sending it to him.
Due to the excessive enthusiasm of the readers and ghosts, the editing and review of the articles became more and more difficult.
Elwyn originally wanted to ask everyone to help, but because Weasley's family won the annual Gold Medal from the Daily Prophet, the whole family left for Egypt in the second week of the summer vacation to visit their eldest son, Bill. They would only return when the summer vacation was almost over.
Hermione also followed her parents to France. Although she did not miss a single article, the other aspects of the work were all on Elwyn.
Harry and Corin came over to help a few times, but their use was very limited.
Compared to the complicated word processing work, they were more inclined to discuss the recent Quidditch tournament, summer vacation homework, or topics related to Sirius Black's prison break. Both of them only came to visit Elwyn in the first few days of the summer vacation.
Not long after that, Corin went to their home in the countryside with his father and brother for the summer vacation.
Harry was much more unlucky. Ever since Ron called the Dursleys on the fifth day of the summer vacation, he was grounded and was not allowed to go out at all.
Even when Elwyn visited them personally, they did not allow him to enter the house.
Just as Elwyn was about to rescue Harry, Harry asked Hedwig to send him a letter. Harry wanted him to behave himself and not make his aunt and uncle angry if he still wanted Uncle Vernon to sign the consent form for his visit to Hogsmeade's parents.
From then on, Elwyn had to ask Dobby to send some food to Harry every day to ensure that the Dursleys did not starve him to death.
Although the editing of manuscripts was arduous, Elwyn could handle it all by himself.
In his spare time, he also asked Dobby to help him buy a lot of magic books related to Mana Potions, Occlusion, and Protection Charm in Diagon Alley. These books were not cheap, and he almost spent all of his savings.
Casting Protection Charm required a wand. According to the relevant regulations that reasonably restricted young wizards, they were not allowed to use magic outside of school, and everyone's wand would be tracked by the Ministry of Magic. Therefore, after mastering the theory of the spell, Elwyn focused his attention on Occlusion and Mana Potions.
As a magical art that could resist external mental infiltration, Occlusion could seal the brain to resist the invasion and influence of magic.
The trick to casting this spell was to empty the brain, so that others could not use magic to obtain memories from your mind. A master of Occlusion like Snape could even fabricate a false memory to deceive an intruder.
Elwyn was not able to do this. In fact, he had already encountered problems when he first started. He found it difficult to empty his brain.
His mind would always have some strange ideas, or he would unconsciously study some difficult magic problem. After trying for a long time, he had no choice but to make Occlusion a long-term practice project. He hoped that he could master this spell before the end of the second school year.
Apart from Occlusion and Protection Charm, Elwyn also found that the Mana Potion was different from what he had initially thought. This potion could not help a wizard increase their magic power permanently. It could only greatly increase the level of magic power for a period of time to help the user in battle or to complete a profound spell.
Elwyn thought about it. It was too wasteful to use a precious and long-lost magic potion like the Mana Potion to increase the endurance of a battle.
After flipping through all the magic books he could buy, he finally decided to use them to help him complete the Animagus transformation.
Animagus was a profound transformation spell that turned a wizard into some kind of animal. For most wizards, even adult wizards, this spell was extremely profound and dangerous, not to mention a young wizard like Elwyn who had just turned twelve.
During the process of Animagus, the practitioner could easily go berserk for various reasons, eventually leading to the failure of the transformation or even death.
Therefore, the Ministry of Magic strictly controlled this spell, requiring all Animagus transformation animals and characteristics to be registered in the Office of Magic Abuse of the Ministry of Magic. There was someone responsible for monitoring the whole process of the first transformation. In the entire twentieth century, only seven people had successfully registered Animagus.
Of course, this was certainly not the total number of wizards who had mastered the Animagus transformation.
Elwyn knew that there were many Animagus that had never been registered, such as Peter the Dwarf who had been hovering in front of him and Sirius Black who was about to appear. They had all completed the transformation when they were students. Because of this, Elwyn, who had the help of the Mana Potion, decided to complete his own Animagus this summer.
He had studied it carefully. In order to become an Animagus, in addition to a strong theoretical knowledge as a foundation, he also needed a lot of magic power to support it.
Theoretical knowledge was not a problem. When Elwyn had the diary last semester, he had deliberately asked Tom Liddell about the Animagus transformation and received a lot of help from him. Although Lord Voldemort's character was not very good, his mastery of magic was comparable to Dumbledore's.
The trouble was that the first transformation process needed to consume a lot of magic power. Changing from a human to an animal required a lot of magic power. Depending on the physique of the shapeshifter, it was often one to five times that of an adult wizard. This was the main reason why most wizards failed to complete the transformation.
The usual practice was to buy a lot of supplementary potions to replenish magic power.
These potions were very expensive, and the effect was relatively average. They were far less effective than the Mana Potion, which greatly increased the level of magic power.
Therefore, with the help of the Mana Potion, Elwyn's Animagus transformation was almost no problem.
