The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific

Chapter 95 Never Learn from Gryffindor

What? You three are going to be working for me from now on?

Andy looked completely bewildered.

Terry explained, "The school has a new rule: no student may leave the castle until the culprit who attacked Professor Don and Malfoy is caught."

"Except in dormitories, auditoriums, and during class, everyone must move in groups of three or more."

Anthony added, "Even professors who don't teach classes have to patrol the castle from time to time."

Andy and Hermione exchanged a glance.

With their intelligence, the two could naturally deduce that the school's serious attitude could only mean that Quirrell's danger had increased significantly.

If Quirrell's target is the Philosopher's Stone, he may take action very soon.

"Andy, tell me... who attacked Professor Don and Malfoy? It couldn't really have been Potter, could it?" Michael asked curiously.

"How would I know?"

Andy shrugged and said, "Don't overthink it. In short, all we can do is try not to cause the professor any trouble; the professor will handle the rest."

"I'm glad you realize that, Collins..." A sinister voice suddenly rang out, and Andy knew from the voice that Snape had arrived.

"Good morning, Professor Snape," Andy greeted him warmly, as if nothing had happened.

"...Good morning." Snape's smile was somewhat...ambiguous?

"Professor Snape." Andy's three roommates trembled.

Snape glanced at the three of them.

As if they had a telepathic connection with Snape in an instant, the three of them instantly understood his meaning and, without any sense of loyalty, left Andy behind and ran away.

Andy: Who said they would follow me from now on?

Fortunately, Hermione is loyal.

"Your luck won't last forever... Collins..."

Snape's voice was very soft, his tone still slow and deliberate as he said, "You escaped last night, but you won't be so lucky next time. But thankfully... you're not a foolish Gryffindor."

After Snape finished speaking, he glanced at Andy with some disappointment.

He was waiting for Andy to interrupt him.

If Andy interrupts him, he can deduct five or ten points from Andy for disrespecting the professor.

"Thank you for reminding me, Professor Snape."

Andy, looking every bit the model student, said, "I'm not Gryffindor, I won't break the school rules."

Snape glanced at Andy, then turned and left.

"What does 'Professor Snape' mean?"

Hermione looked at Andy. "He just mentioned 'last night.' What did you two do last night?"

"He was reminding me not to be like Gryffindor, and especially not to be like Harry and Ron, who only know how to act recklessly when faced with trouble."

Andy sighed. "I was thinking about something last night and was going to inform Headmaster Dumbledore, but then I saw Malfoy go to the fourth-floor restricted area."

"Mar...!"

The little witch was about to exclaim in surprise when she immediately covered her mouth and whispered, "Malfoy went to the fourth-floor restricted area?"

Andy nodded and hummed in agreement. "Maybe it's an Imperius Curse, or maybe his memories have been altered. Anyway... Malfoy is acting a bit strange."

After a pause, Andy continued, "Then I ran into Professor Snape. He was probably worried that I was overconfident and would go and take care of Quirrell by myself."

"Then he's probably worried for nothing."

Hermione scoffed, "You just send others to deal with Quirrell."

Andy: "..."

You know me.

……

After breakfast, Andy completed his usual routine of attending class, going to the library to read, and practicing magic. Time quickly passed and evening arrived.

Hogwarts was already a breeding ground for rumors, and after a day of fermentation, the attack incident escalated among the student population.

This time, even the professors have started to take it seriously.

Not only was the castle sealed off, but professors were also allowed to patrol inside, and even the students' daily activities required groups of three or more to be carried out together.

Many people are discussing this attack.

Who is the killer?

Who will be the next target?

Why was Malfoy attacked twice?

Is Harry Potter the killer?

The young wizards were having a lively discussion, and some even took the opportunity to sell amulets, reportedly making a fortune.

"I wonder when the school will catch Quirrell."

On the way to the Great Hall, Hermione was still a little worried. "I wonder if Curiosity's goal is to steal the Philosopher's Stone, or to get revenge for being expelled from school."

"As long as we don't go to the restricted area on the fourth floor, we won't encounter any danger," Andy said with a nonchalant expression.

The secret to winning by doing nothing is this: don't move around, because if you do, you'll easily fall off your pedestal.

Andy tricked Malfoy once, but he also saved Malfoy's life last night.

From now on, we owe each other nothing and will forget each other in the vast world.

"You're right!"

The little witch said angrily, "Andy, if you go out at night again, I'll tell Professor Flitwick, and he'll... Why are they here again?"

Andy followed Hermione's gaze and saw Harry and Ron walking towards him from the opposite direction.

"Andy, we need your help!" Ron said bluntly, his expression still somewhat resentful.

"What are you trying to do now? Andy won't break the school rules like you guys." Hermione pursed her lips, her expression somewhat unpleasant.

Andy tugged at Hermione, then gave the little witch a reassuring look. "If it's about rumors... once the school catches the culprit, your suspicions will naturally be cleared."

"I didn't attack Malfoy, much less Professor Don," Harry argued, somewhat agitated.

Andy shrugged and didn't reply.

Harry and Ron were indeed annoyed by the rumors at school, and the only way to resolve the matter was to catch the attacker.

So... they decided to do it themselves.

However, after two consecutive failed nighttime outings, Harry became acutely aware of his shortcomings, so he decided to find a helper.

So Ron thought of Andy.

Andy had demonstrated the Disillusionment Charm, and according to Ron, Andy's proficiency with the Disillusionment Charm meant he might often go out at night.

So they decided to take Andy on a nighttime outing... uh, to catch the attackers.

After hearing Harry and Ron's request, the little witch immediately put on a stern face and was about to start lecturing.

Andy quickly pulled Hermione away.

The little witch has a high IQ but low EQ; three out of every five sentences she utters will make people unhappy.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you with this."

Andy refused outright, saying, "The professors are already investigating the attackers. All we can do is not cause them any trouble."

"We're not making things worse."

Harry took a deep breath, as if to calm himself. "We have a lead."

"Then you should tell the professor," Hermione said bluntly.

No wonder Professor Snape told Andy not to study Gryffindor; that's what Gryffindor is all about.
