Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

"Hermione, don't be afraid! I'm here." Andy held Hermione's other hand.

Hermione came back to her senses, took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and raised the wand in her hand.

"Expecto Patronus!" Hermione yelled.

White smoke continuously spewed out from the tip of the wand, forming a white shield wall between Hermione and the Dementors. The Dementors crashed into it and could not move forward.

"Press it back into the box," Andy reminded.

Hermione nodded, wand in hand, and slowly pushed the Dementor back into the box.

"call--"

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, "Is this the Dementor? It's a little...it doesn't seem that scary!"

Andy hesitated for a moment, "Maybe it's...what's it called? It's the thing that can turn into what we fear the most..."

"Boggart!"

Hermione rolled her eyes, what a poor student, "A Boggart is a shapeshifting magical creature that can see into your heart and transform into your greatest fear."

"Yes, it's a Boggart!"

Andy's face showed the confidence of a 'scholar god', "The spell to expel the Boggart is ridiculous. The more people there are, the easier it is to deal with the Boggart because it doesn't know what it will turn into."

"Besides, the way to kill a Boggart is to laugh."

I forgot what its name is, but I know its capabilities and how to deal with it.

Even though it changed its appearance, I recognized it at first glance!

I recognize him even if he's wearing a vest.

This is enough!

Hermione rolled her eyes again.

Although Andy and Hermione both love to study, their attitudes towards learning are very different.

Andy seeks power.

Hermione seeks omniscience and omnipotence.

"But……"

Hermione asked in confusion: "What I fear most is not Dementors. Why does a Boggart turn into a Dementor?"

Andy reminded, "Don't forget, the Room of Requirement can detect our thoughts. This should be the ability of Legilimency. On the other hand, it doesn't seem strange that the Room of Requirement can affect Boggart."

Hermione nodded, "You're right, shall we continue practicing?"

Two hours later.

In the white smoke, the image of an otter slowly took shape.

"puff--"

Andy couldn't help but almost laughed out loud.

Well, otters are cute, but... Andy always thought that Hermione's patronus would be a rabbit.

After all, the little witch's big front teeth are still very conspicuous.

"I did it!" Hermione cheered.

Although she was a little disappointed that her Patronus wasn't a cat, an otter wasn't bad either. Of course, the most important thing was that she had finally learned the Patronus Charm.

"Congratulations!" Andy smiled.

After Hermione played with the otter patronus for a while, Andy reminded her, "Hermione, it's past twelve o'clock. We should go back and rest. We have classes tomorrow."

"Is it so late?"

Hermione was stunned, then nodded, "Okay!"

……

Lying in bed, Andy was thinking about something else.

How to make Harry reveal the secret of Parseltongue!

Asking directly will definitely not work.

Parseltongue is the symbol of Slytherin, the house Harry hates the most - all thanks to Malfoy himself.

"Then we can only use some small tricks."

Andy had a vague idea in his mind.

……

The next day, Friday.

At half past eight, Andy arrived at Lockhart's office door on time.

Because Harry and Ron drove a flying car to school, not only did they crash the precious Whomping Willow, but it was also reported in the newspapers...so they both got detention.

For some unknown reason, Lockhart specifically asked Harry to come over to help him write replies to his fans.

Deng Deng Deng!

Andy knocked on the door.

creak-

Lockhart opened the door and looked at Andy with some surprise, "Good evening, who are you...?"

"Hello, professor. I'm Andy Collins, a second-year student in Ravenclaw." Andy smiled politely.

"Ravenclaw..."

Lockhart looked nostalgic, "What a coincidence, I am also a Ravenclaw. I really miss the time when I was in school. It was such a happy and unforgettable memory."

Andy: "..."

Shut up!

Harry was writing something on the table. When he heard the voice, he looked over with surprise, "Andy, why are you here?"

"Oh? Do you two know each other?"

Lockhart asked in surprise: "Are you here to see Potter?"

"Hi, Harry!"

Andy greeted him, then looked at Lockhart and said, "No! Professor, I'm here to see you."

"Really? Then come in!" Lockhart said enthusiastically.

Ever since his mishap with the Cornish elves, Lockhart's reputation at Hogwarts had been ruined.

It was a rare occasion that a little wizard would come to see him, which made Lockhart very surprised.

After both parties sat down, Lockhart asked first: "Collins, do you need any help?"

"Yes, Professor."

Andy pretended to be troubled and said, "I know you are a Ravenclaw, so there is something... uh, actually... I want to borrow a book from the restricted area, but I'm afraid Professor Flitwick won't agree."

"It's not a book about black magic, it's a book about the end of all curses... So, could you sign it for me?"

Lockhart raised an eyebrow, "Of course!"

"But... I have to say, it's still too early for you to read such a book."

"But I'll help you this time!"

"After all, I went to the restricted area to read books in my first year, and many professors were willing to approve it for me, even your Headmaster Dumbledore."

Chapter 189 Andy: Harry, you're a Parseltongue!

After hearing what Lockhart said, Andy and Harry looked at each other. This was the most outrageous thing they had heard today.

Andy was very curious, why was Lockhart still able to be so shameless and think of himself as a master of magic even though his personality had collapsed like this?

Is it really self-hypnosis?

Well! After all, not everyone can keep a clear mind. Even in the 21st century of the previous life, there were also many people who were blinded by greed and did many outrageous things.

Life can sometimes be stranger than fiction.

"Professor, I believe you must have had a wonderful student life." Andy said calmly.

Harry made a vomiting face.

"You have good taste, Collins."

Lockhart smiled widely, "It was indeed a wonderful and unforgettable period. I still remember that on one Valentine's Day, I received more than a hundred greeting cards."

"Oh my God! You don't know how distressed I was at that time."

Andy: "..."

Glancing at Harry who was writing a reply to Lockhart's fans, Andy inexplicably felt that... Lockhart might not be bragging this time.

This is really enviable.

How about...I try writing a novel?

"Professor, my signature..." Andy reminded.

Although the main purpose of coming to Lockhart's office this time was to 'accidentally' meet Harry, getting an autograph in the restricted section was also one of Andy's purposes.

This is called killing two birds with one stone.

"Of course!"

Lockhart agreed readily. "Is it the book about the End of All Curses? That is a very advanced spell. No one in the magic world knows the End of All Curses better than me."

Lockhart quickly wrote the note and handed it to Andy. Then he said excitedly, "That year in France, a very evil dark wizard released the Fiery Curse in Paris. He wanted to destroy the city."

"Oh my God! You can't imagine how dangerous it is when Fiery Flame gets out of control. Paris was almost destroyed because of it."

"It was me, Gilderoy Lockhart, who used the Ultimate Spell to prevent the disaster and save a city of Muggles."

“But I never talk about it.”

Do you think I believe it or not?

"Professor, you are amazing."

Andy said with admiration: "Then can you teach me how to learn the Ten Thousand Mantras to End?"

"No problem at all!"

Lockhart agreed on the spot.

Then he changed the subject and said, "But you have to start from the most basic theory. After you understand this book and master it, I will teach you the higher level of Ten Thousand Curses to End."

Andy felt that Lockhart was a talented person.

He deceived the entire wizarding world...

It's really a waste of his talent to be a professor. He should be engaging in financial fraud.

"Thank you for your approval."

Andy put the note away and said, "You are such a great adventurer. I look forward to seeing more of your adventure stories."

Without waiting for Lockhart to speak, Andy suddenly stood up and said, "It's getting late, Professor. I should go back."

Lockhart glanced at the clock in the office and said regretfully: "Well, it's a bit late. Potter, you and Collins go back together!"

Harry heaved a sigh of relief, and his facial expression became visibly more energetic.

"Professor, good night!"

After leaving Lockhart's office, Harry couldn't help but complain to Andy: "Andy, are you also a fan of Lockhart's books?"

Harry couldn't help but shudder at the thought that Andy was just like those crazy fans who worshipped Lockhart.

too disgusting!

"of course not!"

Andy took out the approval slip for the restricted section and showed it off. "Don't you think Lockhart is easy to fool? You can get the approval slip from him just by saying something nice."
