Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

Their daily routine is to practice magic and train dueling skills.

Going further up, there are super-standard wizards.

For example, Lao Deng and Lao Fu.

To put it simply, it means being able to use magic, having received certain training, receiving professional training all year round, and being a Dumbledore.

Of course, this statement may not be accurate.

After all, every wizard has different talents, and there are always some gifted wizards who can become very powerful as long as they know how to use magic.

According to Andy's estimation of his current strength, even among the Aurors, he is not the weakest one.

Maybe Andy has not studied magic for a long time, but Andy is very talented!

"I didn't slack off in practice during the summer vacation!" Andy responded to Zhang Qiu.

Cedric touched his nose.

It cannot be said that he did not study at all during the summer vacation, but playing around is the nature of children at this age.

Living in the wizarding world, the life and social pressures are not as great as in the Muggle world, so wizards are actually very relaxed.

"It's so unfair."

Hermione said unconvincedly: "Why is Andy the only one who can use magic outside of school?"

"I have connections in the Ministry of Magic!" Andy teased.

Cedric touched his nose again.

Although it was a bit embarrassing that he couldn't beat the sophomore, Cedric didn't particularly care about it.

He didn't want to be an Auror, nor did he want to participate in duelling competitions. After graduation, Cedric had a clear career plan.

"If you want to practice magic during the summer vacation, you can come to my house and stay for two days." Andy directly exposed his ulterior motives.

Zhang Qiu looked at Andy and Hermione with a playful expression, while Cedric was a little envious.

This little brother is really good!

Hermione's face turned red, and she held it in for a long time before finally whispering, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."

……

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Andy and his three classmates stopped practicing, tidied up the classroom, and walked towards the auditorium together.

Andy is in a good mood.

During the last duel practice, Hermione, Zhang Qiu and Cedric joined forces but were unable to put too much pressure on Andy. Andy only took a little effort to disarm the three of them one by one.

Andy had never realized so clearly that he had really become stronger.

Last semester, Andy's magical attainments had surpassed Cedric's, but during the duel, he always felt powerless.

But it is different now.

The small advantages that had been accumulated bit by bit in the past have finally undergone a qualitative change and turned into huge advantages that are enough to widen the gap in strength.

"But this is not enough!" Andy warned himself.

Andy wants to surpass great wizards like Dumbledore and Voldemort. The reason why they are so powerful is not just because of their high attainments in magic.

The secret of Voldemort's power was his magical ability to transform.

But why is Dumbledore so powerful?

Andy never found the reason.

"Maybe, we can try that next semester."

Andy once speculated that Ms. Ravenclaw's magical path might be combined magic.

Combine different magics to achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

Even your wish will come true.

Andy's current magical attainments are certainly far from those of Ms. Ravenclaw, but after his talent in [Charms] is increased to [7] points, it may not be impossible for him to give it a try.

If the combination magic can be successful, Andy feels that by the time he is in the third grade, his strength may undergo a drastic change.

"If the Animagus is successful by then, maybe I can try magical transformation."

"And the Patronus Charm..."

Andy sorted out what he currently needed to learn and found that he still had a long way to go.

Especially learning these things requires some extra effort.

And that's not even counting the likes of black magic and alchemy.

"It's difficult!" Andy sighed.

Chapter 182: Stealing Potions Ingredients

On Monday morning, Andy welcomed an owl into the family home.

In addition to a bottle of odor-removing potion, the package also contained a thick letter.

Kyle simply gave Andy some instructions about his life at school and mentioned the latest news in the wizarding world.

Helen also showed some concern for Andy's study life, but she did not ask Andy what he wanted to do with the odor-removing potion. She was just prepared for Andy to be expelled from school.

Helen said that Andy could now support himself just by brewing potions.

As for Isabel, the little girl bluntly reminded Andy not to forget to buy her snacks from Bee Dukes Candy House, otherwise she would think she was an only child.

Andy raised an eyebrow and put the letter in his pocket.

As for the bottle of potion, Andy didn't let anyone see it, not even Hermione.

"What classes do we have this morning?" Andy asked casually after breakfast.

"Two Potions classes back-to-back, with Hufflepuff."

Hermione said, "There's History of Magic this afternoon, with Slytherin."

Potions class...

"I'm going back to the dormitory to get some things. Remember to save a front row seat for me." Andy said hurriedly, and without waiting for Hermione's response, he stood up and ran out of the hall.

The potion was still in his pocket, and Andy didn't dare to go to Snape's class with the potion.

Ever since Snape saw through the Disillusionment Curse last semester, Andy has been wary of Snape. Moreover, Snape is also the potion genius mentioned by Helen.

When Andy arrived at the Potions classroom, it was almost time for class.

Sitting next to Hermione, Andy casually flipped through the second-year Potions textbook.

Helen makes potions for a living. Andy helped Helen process potion materials when he was very young and often watched Helen making potions.

So Andy has always done well in Potions class.

The second year Potions class... was pretty easy.

It was time for class and Snape walked into the classroom on time.

By the time Snape walked to the podium, the classroom was already silent.

"Today we will review what we learned in first grade."

Snape glanced at the young wizards and said slowly, "I've heard many professors say that after a summer vacation, your brains may be only slightly better than those of a troll."

Andy disagreed.

Why should the troll be insulted like this?

Snape may seem unkind, but he is actually very considerate.

He first spent an hour re-explaining the key points learned in the first grade, and then picked a potion of moderate difficulty and asked the young wizards to brew it in groups.

To be honest, Andy felt that Snape's explanation was very detailed.

Although he only explained each knowledge point once and did not give the little wizards a chance to ask questions, as long as they listened carefully, it was enough to recall what they had learned last semester.

until……

boom! ! !

Andy turned around and saw that it was Justin from Hufflepuff who had exploded the cauldron.

The two Potions classes were spent listening to Snape's sharp tongue.

After the History of Magic class was over, Ravenclaw ended its classes for the day.

……

into the night.

After his roommates fell asleep, Andy changed his clothes, took the live map, and sneaked out of the dormitory.

According to the Marauder's Map, Snape was still busy in the office.

Just when Andy was about to go to the Room of Requirement to copy books and wait until the second half of the night to take action, Snape suddenly disappeared from the map.

"Huh?" Andy looked confused.

Snape left the castle?

Or did Snape discover something and this was just his plan to lure the snake out of its hole?

"Let's go and take a look first." Andy made up his mind.

You can't accomplish anything great if you are indecisive.

Andy held the Marauder's Map in one hand and the magic wand in the other as he walked towards the basement of the castle.

"Hey! Don't turn on the lights so late at night!"

A rough voice suddenly sounded, startling Andy.

Andy looked around quickly...there was no one there?

"I'm talking to you, turn off the light!"

Andy looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a portrait covering its eyes with its hands, with a very dissatisfied look on its face.

Andy: "..."

"Feel sorry!"

Andy responded, quickened his pace and left in a hurry.

Avoiding Filch, Andy walked all the way to the first floor of the castle and then stopped at the entrance to the basement.

"Wait a moment!"

Andy's face turned grim. "The portrait knows that I'm going on a night tour tonight!"

In other words, if Snape's potion ingredients were stolen tonight, Dumbledore would guess that Andy did it.

"I was careless!" Andy regretted himself.

After thinking for a moment, Andy decided to go back.

Before going back, Andy went to the kitchen and asked the Hogwarts house-elves for some midnight snacks.

The next night, Andy learned from the lesson of the previous night and copied books in the Room of Requirement until after 1 a.m., and stayed up until Snape went back to sleep. Then, with the help of the Disillusionment Charm, he resumed his operation to steal the potion.

After safely reaching the basement, Andy suppressed his excitement and came to the door of Snape's office.

He took out his wand and pointed it at the office door lock.

Wow!

With a slight click, the door to Snape's office was unlocked.

"call--"

Andy breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that my prediction was correct. There is no mechanism in Snape's office."

There is never a shortage of naughty little wizards in Hogwarts, and Snape's personal image is extremely bad.

There is no guarantee that there won't be some naughty little wizards breaking into Snape's office in the middle of the night and causing trouble.
