Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

"Humph! They are going too far."

Hermione and Andy walked side by side behind the crowd. Hermione said indignantly, "Professor Snape is so serious and responsible. He took the trouble to point out their mistakes. Although he is a bit strict, they shouldn't say that!"

Andy glanced at Hermione.

It's a good thing you didn't go to the Lion's Court, or you might have burned Snape's robes.

"You think so, right?" Hermione asked, trying to gain an ally.

"Ah, yes!"

Andy said absentmindedly, "Don't be angry. When they grow up, they will understand the good of Professor Snape."

"You're right!"

Hermione nodded in agreement, then looked at Andy strangely, "What are you thinking about?"

"nothing."

Andy said, "Let's go eat quickly. After dinner, I plan to go to the library to read some books."

"I also want to go to the library. I heard that Hogwarts has the largest collection of books in the UK." Speaking of the library, Hermione showed a longing expression.

"Not just the whole of Britain, but the whole of the European wizarding community."

Andy explained: "Hogwarts is the first magic school established in the global wizarding world. It has a history of more than a thousand years."

"This place has the largest number of magic books in the entire magic world."

Hermione asked curiously, "Are there many magic schools around the world?"

"Of course!"

Andy said, "I don't know much about the details, but there are more than a dozen famous schools, and many less famous magic schools."

As they were talking, Andy and Hermione had already arrived at the auditorium on the first floor.

"Hi! Andy."

Ron and Harry were sitting at the Gryffindor table playing wizard chess. Ron had sharp eyes and spotted Andy at a glance.

"You guys finish class so early?" Andy walked over and said with a look of surprise.

"We don't have classes in the morning."

Ron said, "But we have a Herbology class with Hufflepuff in the afternoon, and History of Magic in the evening."

Harry asked curiously, "What classes do you have this morning?"

He actually wanted to ask what it was like to attend classes at a magic school, but he felt a little embarrassed to do so—after all, he and Andy were not very familiar with each other.

"We have two Potions classes in the morning," said Andy.

"It's Snape's class!"

Ron had an expression that said, "I have a big secret." "I heard from George that Snape is very biased towards Slytherin. He didn't do anything to you in class, did he?"

"well enough!"

Andy didn't want to lie to him. "I think Professor Snape is very knowledgeable even though he is strict. Maybe George is trying to scare you. After all, they often do that."

Ron believed it a little, but Harry felt that Professor Snape disliked him a little - on the day of sorting, Snape looked at him very strangely.

"Okay, I'm going to eat. I'll go to the library to read some books later."

Andy waved at the two of them, turned and walked towards the Ravenclaw table.

Ron shrugged. "Andy has loved reading since he was a child. We are neighbors. Every time I go to see him, he is reading in the study."

Harry looked back at Andy, only to see that Andy was already sitting at the Ravenclaw table, talking to a little brown-haired witch.

Ron followed Harry's gaze, but was not surprised at all. "They are all of the same type - I mean, they both love reading."

At the Ravenclaw table, Andy was in a good mood chatting with Hermione about all sorts of things.

Andy was originally having a headache.

I know Ron, so when we get to Hogwarts, how can I distance myself from the three saviors without leaving any trace?

Until just now...

It is often difficult for children to hide their emotions. When Andy was chatting with Ron just now, he keenly discovered that Ron obviously preferred chatting with Harry.

That’s right! After all, poor students and top students are from two completely different worlds.

One has eyes only for playing, the other has eyes only for studying.

As soon as she finished lunch, Hermione couldn't wait to go to the library to broaden her horizons.

Andy readily agreed, after all, his time was very valuable.

Seven years seems like a long time, but it is probably impossible to read all the books in Hogwarts.

Since Andy has the good fortune to come to the magical world, he will naturally devote all his energy to the study of magic.

This is what Andy wants, and it also involves Andy's system.

Only by working hard to improve his talents can Andy become stronger within a limited time.

……

The Hogwarts library is located on the second floor of the castle. It has the most complete collection of magic books in the European wizarding world. From ordinary books used for entertainment to various profound forbidden magic, it can be said that it has everything.

The first time Andy came to the library, he was stunned by the huge number of books there.

There are thousands of bookshelves and hundreds of narrow passages in the library, and each shelf has thousands of magic books. Here, you can find all the magic you want to learn.

Andy can't wait to swim in the ocean of knowledge.

"What are you going to read?" Hermione asked.

Andy and Hermione walked one after the other in the narrow passage between two bookshelves - there were so many books here that neither of them knew where to start.

"It has something to do with the curse!"

Andy can only increase the potential points of the system by improving his abilities in five areas: spells, transfiguration, black magic, alchemy, and divination.

I can’t think about black magic for now.

The British wizarding world had just experienced the rampage of Voldemort, and the general environment here was very hostile to dark magic. Anything that had anything to do with dark magic would be considered evil.

Even if Andy wanted to learn black magic, he could only study it secretly by himself and not let anyone find out.

In addition, alchemy is relatively advanced, and divination... Andy has zero talent in this area. Even if he wants to learn it, he must first accumulate talent.

In contrast, there are many types of spells. Through hard practice, you can improve your own strength and at the same time improve the potential points of the system, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

"What do you think of this book?" Hermione asked as she pulled out a book.

Chapter 21 Pandora's Magic Theory

"Modern Theory of Charms?"

Andy has a book called "Basic Spell Theory" at home, but the authors of the two books are not the same person.

Andy glanced at the author's name.

Pandora Lovegood!

Surprisingly, he is Andy's neighbor.

When Andy was eight years old, Pandora Lovegood died accidentally during a spell experiment, and Andy attended her funeral with his parents.

Andy flipped through it casually. "Then I'll read this one first. What about you? Have you chosen the book you want to read?"

Hermione pulled a large book from the bookshelf, "History of Magic will be taught this afternoon, and I want to learn about famous wizards in history first."

Andy took a glance at it. It was a book introducing all the famous wizards over the past thousand years, the type that Andy would never even look at.

"Let's go!" Hermione tilted her head.

Perhaps because it was the beginning of the new semester, there were hardly any people in the library. The two found a quiet spot, sat down and read quietly.

After flipping through a few pages, Andy discovered that the Hogwarts library was truly a treasure.

There are many books on the market that introduce the theory of spells. Different authors naturally have different views on spells, and their emphasis when explaining spells is also different.

The book "Modern Spell Theory" can be seen as an outline of modern spells. It does not explain a specific spell, but rather explains it based on the things involved in casting spells.

The book opens with a discussion of the impact of emotions on the power of spells.

The use of spells requires not only the recitation of incantations and specific gestures, but also the coordination of the caster's emotions.

In many cases, extreme emotions can even greatly enhance the power of a spell.

The Obscurus mentioned in the book "Research on the Development of Ancient Witchcraft" that Andy had read before was the product of the fusion of the little wizard's negative emotions and magic power.

"It seems necessary to improve the [Spirit] attribute." Andy thought to himself.

Many people say that Voldemort is the most powerful dark wizard in the past hundred years, and some even call him the most powerful dark wizard of all time.

Of course, the statement "ever" is somewhat exaggerated, but there is no doubt that Voldemort is powerful.

"His dark magic is so powerful, could it be that his mind is completely evil?"

Andy guessed, "An evil mind combined with black magic can make the power of black magic stronger."

I'm afraid there's more to it than that.

So far, Andy only knows that Dumbledore and Voldemort are the ceiling of the wizarding world, but Andy still has no idea what the secret of their power is.

But one thing is beyond doubt, the answers to their powerful secrets can definitely be found in the restricted area.

Maybe those secrets are hidden somewhere in the book.

Andy calmed down and continued reading, and an hour and a half passed in a flash.

"Andy, class starts in fifteen minutes!" Hermione reminded.

"Got it." Andy closed the book.

If possible, Andy even wanted to skip this History of Magic class. Unfortunately, it was a required course, and skipping class on the first day of school would leave a bad impression on the professors.

After completing the book borrowing procedures with the librarian, Madam Pince, Andy and Hermione left the library.

……

The History of Magic classroom is also on the second floor, so there's no need to deal with those restless stairs.

Ravenclaw took History of Magic together with Slytherin.

Slytherin House has a somewhat bad reputation, and it's all related to Gryffindor.

Not just in the Voldemort incident, in many major events in the history of the wizarding world, Slytherin has played the role of villain, while Gryffindor has been the representative of justice.

This leads to students from the two colleges often tearing up B's.

Black Slytherin is the daily routine of all Gryffindors.

In Gryffindor's values, if you lose points for fighting with Slytherin students, then you are the hero of the entire college - provided that you win.

The result of this conflict is that Slytherin generally does not offend Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students.

Because being targeted by one college is enough, they don’t want to be targeted by two colleges.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, a pearly white, translucent ghost floated out from the wall.

Professor Binns is a ghost who appears to be very old. According to the official story, when Professor Binns was still alive, he went to class one day and accidentally left his body in the staff room.

Andy was extremely disappointed with this class.

Many of the ghosts in the castle are actually quite interesting, but Professor Binns is definitely not one of them.

His voice was dry, low and monotonous as he read out the contents of the book. Everyone in the class was drowsy, occasionally coming to their senses, writing down a date or a name, and then falling into a semi-sleep state again.

Even Hermione, who usually loves to study, had to force herself to stay focused in Professor Binns' class - Andy had already seen her pinching her thigh.

He really has the spirit of working hard and piercing his legs with a needle.

Andy decided to drop the course.

A History of Magic! Give me a pen and I can make history.

This course has little impact on magic. Just read the book before the exam and get a passing grade.

Andy took out the book "Modern Theory of Spells" borrowed from the library and started reading.
