Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

Snape glanced at Lucius.

What's wrong with this person?

Why do you smile confidently one moment and look sad the next?

Realizing that Snape was looking at him, Lucius tried to maintain his composure, raising the corners of his mouth slightly in an awkward yet appropriate smile.

Snape: "..."

Snape turned suddenly and walked towards the gate of the manor.

……

Back at Hogwarts, Snape sat quietly in his office chair, casting a spell on his quill to automatically mark summer homework while recalling what happened tonight.

Snape knew his senior Lucius very well.

He was not a loyal Death Eater, but he would never dare to betray Voldemort - even if Voldemort had lost his power.

Lucius's indecision gave Snape an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Even more interesting is that Lucius personally delivered the dark magic items left by Voldemort to Dumbledore.

Based on Snape's understanding of Lucius, he should be eager to make achievements on Voldemort's side, but at the same time hope that someone can kill Voldemort to prevent future troubles.

So he would do his job honestly, and then do some trivial things in secret.

"A diary...what on earth is that?"

Snape pondered in his heart, "The secret of the Dark Lord's immortality? What kind of dark magic item can prevent the Dark Lord from dying?"

Ever since learning that Voldemort did not die that night ten years ago, Snape has been investigating the secret of Voldemort's immortality.

Snape had read through the books in the restricted section of the library countless times over the years.

"It seems that Dumbledore hid those books."

Thinking of Dumbledore's attitude, Snape had an idea.

Since training the Dark Lord Voldemort, Dumbledore has become much more cautious in his actions.

"Whatever those things are, the only way to find them is for the Dark Lord to reveal himself."

Snape's idea was to let Voldemort use his "secret of immortality" as bait to lure Dumbledore into the trap.

All of this requires Voldemort to recover a certain amount of strength, or even be completely resurrected!

Snape plotted secretly.

Last year's Quirrell incident allowed Snape to see some of Dumbledore's thoughts.

Dumbledore wanted to train Harry to fight against Voldemort.

This is also the fate predicted in the prophecy.

only……

That's Lily's son!

Snape's face was painful. He had already killed Lily, and he couldn't bear to watch her child take risks anymore.

He had to do something.

……

That same night, Snape was not the only one who suffered from insomnia.

In the Ravenclaw library, Andy was reading quietly.

"Are you reading legal books again?" Hermione asked in surprise.

When did Andy become interested in this kind of book?

Have you changed your gender?

"That's right!" Andy gritted his teeth.

Only by arming ourselves with legal weapons can we bring down Dumbledore.

After the astronomy get out of class, Andy specifically asked Harry and Ron if Professor Lockhart was really that terrible.

Their answers were predictable.

It is said that when Cornish pixies were causing trouble in the classroom, Lockhart tried to stop them with his wand.

But the results are obvious.

Lockhart didn't use any magic and was severely punished by those little guys.

Andy's eyes turned red at that moment.

Unfortunately, Lockhart left no evidence.

Lockhart is different from Quirrell. Lockhart is a celebrity in the wizarding world and a recipient of the Order of Merlin, Third Class.

Andy couldn't do anything to him because he was just talking nonsense.

You can't just cast a killing curse on him, can you?

Not so much.

"You want to kick Professor Lockhart out of school?" Hermione knew Andy too well, and Andy did it so obviously.

"Ok!"

Andy nodded in agreement. "Not only that, I also want to teach Dumbledore a lesson so that he won't always find such incompetent people to teach us."

Hermione looked at Andy oddly.

Aren’t you too brave?

You, a second-year wizard, dare to go head-to-head with the greatest wizard of the twentieth century?

Voldemort didn't dare to do this when he was in school.

"Have you thought of a solution?" Hermione asked curiously.

"think……"

Andy glanced at Hermione and snorted, "Just wait and see!"

"You're going to hide this from me too?"

Hermione said unhappily: "I don't believe you can cause trouble for Dumbledore."

"I didn't mean to hide it from you..."

Andy looked around. "The ghosts and portraits in the castle are all intelligent. There's no guarantee that they won't tell Dumbledore about this."

"He is the principal after all."

If you understand the law, you can find its loopholes.

Andy felt that the reading tonight was not in vain.

"whatever."

Hermione rolled her eyes in annoyance, "When you get expelled from school, I'll be watching the show from the sidelines."

Chapter 168 Creative Alchemical Life

The third day of school.

Thursday, September 3rd.

Ravenclaw will have a Charms class with Gryffindor this morning, and then a Defense Against the Dark Arts class with Slytherin.

Andy really likes Charms class.

Professor Flitwick is very easy to talk to and has a very kind personality.

Whenever he finished explaining the content of the lesson and let the young wizards practice magic on their own, he would always take the time to answer some of Andy's questions about magic.

"Mr. Collins, I heard that your Patronus Charm has been improved successfully. Can I take a look?"

Professor Flitwick seemed very excited. "To be honest, if I wasn't worried about being too presumptuous, I would have liked to visit you during the holidays."

Uh...home visits and stuff, Andy does have some psychological trauma.

That was a lifetime ago.

"Of course, I'm honored."

Andy waved his wand, and the fat cat Patronus sprang out from the tip of the wand and stopped in front of Professor Flitwick.

"It's just incredible."

Professor Flitwick was so excited that he almost fainted. He stared at the fat cat Patronus with shining eyes, "It seems that it has already possessed a certain degree of wisdom. This is really wonderful. I didn't expect the Patronus Charm to be able to do this."

"Hmm...?" Andy was a little confused.

Professor Flitwick explained: "Remember the Sorting Hat? Giving objects intelligence is not an easy task. It is already in the realm of alchemy."

Andy was stunned when he heard this. Is this difficult?

The Sorting Hat and the portraits in the castle all have their own wisdom. They can even speak and have independent personalities, emotions, and preferences.

Including the car modified by Mr. Weasley and some magical photos, they also possess preliminary intelligence.

Andy always thought it was normal.

As if seeing Andy's confusion, Professor Flitwick smiled and explained: "The reason why the Sorting Hat is special is that it is different."

"The Sorting Hat, be creative!"

Andy was stunned.

The Sorting Hat is... creative?

Yes! It is indeed!

Every year at the start-of-term dinner, the Sorting Hat sings a song that it spent a whole year writing and composing independently - even though it's a terrible song.

"Professor, what do you mean...?" Andy understood a little, but felt like he didn't understand anything.

Professor Flitwick explained: "The portraits in the castle seem to have intelligence, and can even communicate with us normally, expressing some preferences and emotions."

“But those are just set in advance.”

"If I draw a portrait of you now and ask you to input your emotions and memories into the portrait, can you say that the portrait has intelligence?"

Andy thought for a moment and slowly shook his head.

That can't be considered true wisdom, right?

That was just a program that used my memory and emotions.

It's like artificial intelligence.

“Only creativity can be called true wisdom.”

Professor Flitwick looked at the fat cat Patronus in front of him. "Your Patronus is like a newborn baby. It may not be very smart, or even a little confused, but it is different from those portraits."

Andy frowned and asked, "Professor, I remember that the Sorting Hat was originally just an ordinary hat. It was only after the four founders injected their thoughts into the Sorting Hat that the Sorting Hat became intelligent."

"What's the difference between it and those pictures?"

Obviously the production method is the same.

"Of course there is a difference!"

Professor Flitwick said: "Although they appear to be made in the same way, they are actually different."

"Just like the spell you cast just now."

"There is a fundamental difference between casting magic by chanting an incantation and directly telling the magic power 'I want to cast a spell'."

Is it a fusion of emotions and magic?

Andy seemed to understand something.

Professor Flitwick continued, "The portraits in the castle require regular maintenance, but the Sorting Hat does not. It is an alchemical object."

"And your Patronus Charm is even more special than the school hat."

Professor Flitwick's eyes lit up when he said this. "Although alchemical life forms with true intelligence are rare, they do exist in the wizarding world."
