Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

After putting the two down, Andy smiled and said, "During this holiday, I have been practicing silent casting. Now I can cast most magic silently."

Harry looked on with envy.

Dobby cast a spell in his house, and as a result, he received a letter of warning from the Ministry of Magic. Andy cast a spell at random, but nothing happened.

Ron breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily his dad didn't have any connections at the Ministry of Magic, otherwise he would have had to practice magic this summer as well.

After chatting with Harry and Ron for a while, it was almost noon and Andy got up to say goodbye.

"Have lunch at my house before leaving. We can play Quidditch together in the afternoon," Ron invited.

"Don't forget, I still have a lot of summer homework."

Andy pretended to be helpless and said, "If Hermione is unwilling to help me with my homework, I won't have much time later."

It's not that Andy is being pretentious, it's just that Andy and they really have nothing in common. It's really hard for Andy to be interested in the topics that Harry and Ron talked about.

But Andy can't just not say a word when chatting with others, right?

Andy had a very torturous morning.

But there is no way, the network must be maintained.

Although people are independent individuals, they cannot survive alone without the collective.

In his previous life, Andy was already used to this kind of thing.

"Well, good luck to you," said Harry.

"You too."

Andy reminded: "House elves are very persistent creatures. If Dobby's goal is to prevent you from returning to Hogwarts, then he will never give up easily."

"be careful!"

Chapter 148: To defeat Voldemort, you just need hands

When Andy got home, he went straight into the study, took out a piece of parchment, and wrote on it:

Dumbledore, the Ministry of Magic's search, the magical items left behind by Voldemort, the Death Eaters who escaped trial, the Chamber of Secrets, the suspected house-elf of the Malfoy family, and preventing Harry Potter from returning to Hogwarts.

If you put all this together...

Andy felt that the plot of the next semester was already unfolding before him.

Lucius Malfoy, the Death Eater who escaped justice.

Dumbledore's purpose was to force Lucius Malfoy to dispose of the magical items left by Voldemort.

As long as Lucius Malfoy made a move, Dumbledore would be able to find clues.

"Well..." Andy pondered for a moment.

Dobby!

If Dobby was the Malfoys' house-elf, why did he stop Harry from returning to Hogwarts?

Draco Malfoy's prank?

If it was a prank, Dobby would never show up in front of Harry, let alone reveal his master's plan.

It couldn't be that Dobby betrayed his master of his own accord, right?

This is impossible!

The loyalty of house-elves to their masters is engraved in their bones. It is a kind of ancient slavery magic. Under the influence of magic, house-elves will never betray their masters.

From this point of view, Andy had to overturn his previous guess.

Andy frowned slightly.

“When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how incredible, must be the truth.”

"So...will the house elves use their own will to break the ancient magical contract of slavery?"

Andy pondered for a moment and thought that this was not impossible.

According to this line of thought, Lucius Malfoy did not dispose of the magical items left by Voldemort privately, but chose to send them to Hogwarts.

So next term at Hogwarts is going to be dangerous!

That is, the secret room was opened.

Dobby, on his own initiative, chose to prevent Harry Potter from returning to Hogwarts.

“That makes sense!”

It seems that Lucius Malfoy is more skilled in this round.

Andy's expression suddenly became a little strange.

"Will Dumbledore be outplayed by old Malfoy?"

"Well... it's not that surprising. After all, Dumbledore's lack of intelligence and the Ministry's search would have leaked the news early on."

"As long as Lucius Malfoy is careful, he won't reveal any flaws."

"Tsk!"

Andy curled his lips, really wanting to see Dumbledore's deflated expression.

……

Meanwhile, in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts.

Snape's face was slightly pale. He had seen the remaining soul of Voldemort.

"He's in a very bad state."

Snape reported: "Over the years, the Dark Lord has been wandering the forests of Albania, absorbing the life force of wild animals to restore his strength."

"This action has almost exhausted all his savings."

When he saw Voldemort this time, Snape almost couldn't help but take action.

If we can’t defeat Voldemort in his prime, can we kill his remaining soul?

Fortunately, Snape finally endured it.

Voldemort's current state is very special.

He is now on the border between life and death, he is neither alive nor dead.

He's not even a ghost.

Snape frowned and asked, "The Dark Lord is in a very special state now. How did he do it?"

Dumbledore's eyes were solemn. "That night, Voldemort's Killing Curse was rebounded by Harry... Many people say that Harry is the only one who survived the Killing Curse."

"But Harry only bounced back the Killing Curse. The one who actually survived the Killing Curse was... Voldemort!"

Snape looked at Dumbledore. He also knew what happened that night. But now he wanted to know what was going on with Voldemort's condition.

Dumbledore went on to explain: "Under normal circumstances, Voldemort should have died. But he used some evil dark magic to escape death."

"Voldemort is now between life and death. We have no means to harm Voldemort in this state."

Snape was puzzled. "Then what is he afraid of?"

"a lot of!"

Dumbledore's wise eyes seemed to have seen Voldemort hiding in the forest of a distant country. "When people are at their weakest, they will be afraid of many things."

Without dwelling on this question any further, Dumbledore looked at Snape and asked, "How is your negotiation with Voldemort going?"

Snape said calmly, "The Dark Lord is indeed eager to be resurrected. When I first met him, he wanted me to help him prepare for his resurrection, but he gave up very quickly."

"It's just as I expected. He doesn't trust me now. And..."

At this point, Snape suddenly looked at Dumbledore, "The Dark Lord thinks you are old, and he wants me to confirm your current condition."

To be honest, Snape was also very curious about whether Dumbledore now had the ability to fight Voldemort in his prime.

After all, Dumbledore is over a hundred years old this year.

His magical attainments may become stronger and stronger, but his physical condition, reaction speed, judgment and other qualities will decline year by year as he gets older.

Dumbledore did not explain.

Haha! Do you know what the Elder Wand is?

To beat Voldemort, all you need are hands!

Snape continued, "The Dark Lord gave me a task. He asked me to find a way to enter Azkaban and release a prisoner Death Eater."

Dumbledore nodded. This was exactly what he expected.

Dumbledore had thought of this when he allowed Snape to meet the remaining soul of Voldemort.

Voldemort would not trust Snape, and he also needed Snape to continue to be undercover beside Dumbledore. Instead of letting Snape help him resurrect, it would be better for Snape to find a way to release a Death Eater loyal to him.

Dumbledore pondered for a moment, "If you have the chance, you can go to Azkaban and make some noise."

Snape nodded, he thought so too.

If Snape wanted to go back undercover with Voldemort, he had to do something.

"What are you going to do?"

Snape asked in a deep voice, "It's impossible to really release a Death Eater, right? I can only delay it for a year or two at most."

"Also, I can't monitor Lucius anymore."

Dumbledore nodded slightly when he heard this. He also understood Snape's difficulties and it was impossible for him to be the one to take care of everything.

"One or two years..."

Dumbledore was in a dilemma. Could Harry Potter grow up in one or two years?

"One or two years is enough!"

Dumbledore said in a deep voice: "As long as you find out the secret of Voldemort's immortality, I will cast the spell myself..."

Snape: Got it.

Chapter 149: The price of the ingredients for the euphoria potion is going up again

Since Dumbledore has decided to take action himself, Snape naturally has nothing to worry about.

Snape had enough confidence in the greatest white wizard of the 20th century.

Although... Dumbledore is a bit of a jerk.

But you'll get used to it.

"Have you discovered the secret of the Dark Lord's immortality?" Snape asked expectantly.

The Ministry of Magic's search for dark magic items was carried out in a grand manner, and the news had spread throughout the British wizarding community a month ago.

The trick of alerting the enemy has been successful, and Dumbledore has been watching him all the time. Snape feels that Dumbledore should gain something.

"terribly sorry!"

Dumbledore said helplessly: "I found nothing."

Snape: Can I kill him?

"Lucius is very cautious. He sells a lot of dark magic items in Knockturn Alley, but there's nothing here that I want."

At this point, Dumbledore also had some doubts.

Perhaps Voldemort did not create the Horcruxes, or perhaps Voldemort gave the Horcruxes to other Death Eaters for safekeeping.

Bellatrix Lestrange!

The craziest Death Eater.

Dumbledore's eyes narrowed slightly, and he analyzed in his mind, "If Voldemort did not create a Horcrux, then what is the secret of his immortality? If he created a Horcrux, where would he hide it?"

Snape frowned and said, "Maybe you were wrong from the beginning."

Dumbledore frowned and said nothing.
