10 *Title at the end*

A young and a old man walking beside each other in the dark corridor. Only the tip of the wand of the young man show where they were walking.

"How was my Transfiguration" Alexander break the silence between the two people

"It was beautiful but to messy, you waste to much magic, remember Quality before Quantity" explained Dumbledore with a teaching tone

"Yes Professor" Alexander new that even if he was strong and knew a lot, he lack practical experience

"I advise to slow down your learning and make the foundation of the knowledge that you already know stronger, both in theory and practice."

Pondering a moment, he nod at the advice of the Professor which just smile.

"If you have any question, you are welcome to ask" kindly said Dumbledore

Hearing this Alexander did not hesitate and start to ask

The teaching finish when both of them end up in front of the Fat Lady. They could hear the lion enjoying a party.

"Well we have arrives, I hope I was able to help you"

'Help me ? Are you kidding ? I learn more in 30 minutes with you than the book i read' Yes 30 minute because they takes the 'long way' to go at the Gryffindor Tower.

"Yes Professor, Thank you for your help, I'm grateful !" said Alexander with a smile.

"Good, good, you should go now. Oh yes, before I forgot, for your bravery, camaraderie, and stopping a threat 50 points to Gryffindor."

Hearing this, Alexander was happy, although since the flying class their points grow each day, it was slow so 50 was welcome.

"Good night" said Dumbledore while walking away

"Good night Professor"
