Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

George and Fred looked towards Andy, and after seeing Andy's expression, the two brothers nodded bitterly - they were hesitating whether to admit this to Professor McGonagall.

Although the twins like to play pranks, they never go too far and many of their pranks are just jokes.

But this time...

Although they hated Filch, they couldn't let him suffer an unjust accusation.

Seeing the two brothers leaving the team and walking towards the eighth floor of the castle, Andy silently said "Amitabha" in his heart.

Gryffindor has suffered enough this year. I just hope that the furious Professor McGonagall won't beat them both to death.

Hermione had been keeping an eye on Andy. After seeing the eye contact between Andy and the Weasley twins, the little witch asked curiously, "Where are they going?"

"Shh-"

Andy made a gesture for silence, then took out his wand and waved it gently. After making sure that no one could hear his conversation, he explained the whole story.

After hearing this, Hermione showed an expression of 'as expected'.

Some things arrive late.

Andy himself doesn't do bad things... Well, Andy does bad things now. But what Andy likes to do most is to trick others into doing bad things.

For example: At the beginning of the school year, Andy persuaded the first-year student, Luna Lovegood, to explore the Forbidden Forest.

Andy told her that there was a group of centaurs living in the Forbidden Forest.

Fortunately, Luna was an honest person and she did not try to venture into the Forbidden Forest alone.

But this time...

It was Andy who taught the Weasley twins how to Transfiguration into cats, and they did just that.

Hermione glanced at Andy: You are worthy of it!

……

Flitwick's office on the eighth floor of the castle.

Dumbledore looked at Justin lying on the sofa with a serious expression.

He had already checked Justin's condition. Justin had a lot of his vitality sucked away by dark magic, which reminded Dumbledore of Quirrell last year.

Absorbing life force...

This is very much like Voldemort's method!

Dumbledore glanced at Snape, who slowly shook his head.

"Poppy, how is the child?" Professor McGonagall pushed open the office door and walked in.

"The situation is very bad!"

Madam Pomfrey shook her head and said sadly, "A lot of his vitality has been sucked away... To be honest, this kind of dark magic cannot be solved by potions or healing magic."

Professor McGonagall looked grim.

Professor Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff House, was so sad that his eyes were red.

"Minerva..." Dumbledore looked at Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall glanced at Filch, hesitated for a moment, and finally confessed: "Although I think there may be some misunderstanding, but... apart from this child, Argus was the only one who was not in the hall during the dinner."

Filch was completely stunned.

I'm the only one not here?

"I...I'm looking for Mrs. Norris."

Filch quickly explained: "I don't know why, she was very naughty tonight. I called her, but she didn't listen. She kept running around the castle. I tried to catch her, but..."

Filch had only finished explaining halfway when he suddenly realized that his explanation was too pale.

Everyone in Hogwarts knew that Mrs. Norris listened to him the most.

Filch was a little flustered. "Dumbledore, I... please believe me, I really did..."

Dumbledore waved his hand. "Argus, I certainly believe that you will not attack the students in the castle. And I already know that..."

Dengdengdeng-

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Professor McGonagall opened the door and saw the Weasley twins. Her face darkened. "Didn't I tell you to go back to your dorm? Unless you can give me a good reason, I won't let you off easily."

George and Fred looked at each other.

We can give you a suitable reason.

But after hearing this reason, it's even less likely that you'll spare us.

You will kill us!

"Professor McGonagall, this is it."

George said with a resigned look on his face, "It was us. We used Transfiguration to transform into Mrs. Norris."

Fred was dejected. "Professor..."

Professor McGonagall was so angry that her chest was about to explode. "I, I didn't teach you Transfiguration so that you can play tricks on others."

"I'm sorry!" the twins said bitterly.

"George, Fred..."

Professor McGonagall said angrily: "Because of your two pranks, Gryffindor is..."

"Professor!" the twins exclaimed.

Gryffindor has no more house points to lose.

If they continue to deduct points, Gryffindor will really be last, and they will be ridiculed by Slytherin for the whole year.

Professor McGonagall didn't hesitate at all, "Gryffindor will lose fifty points for this."

George and Fred glanced at the office window.

If they jump from here and open their eyes, will they find that all this was just a dream?

Dumbledore suddenly said: "If you do something wrong, you will be punished... Of course, if you do something good, you will also be rewarded by the school."

Snape gave Dumbledore a sarcastic look.

Dumbledore continued, "George, Fred, it takes a lot of courage for the two of you to admit your mistakes so openly, and you also helped Argus clear his suspicion - he really didn't lie."

Filch was glaring at George and Fred with a vicious expression, but after hearing what Dumbledore said, his expression improved a little.

"Gryffindor will add twenty points for this..."

Dumbledore said, "Everyone!"

Chapter 247 All the blame can be thrown to someone named Fu

George and Fred were filled with surprise and felt that life was full of hope again.

The two brothers just counted on their fingers, and then looked up at Dumbledore together... Can't you add the remaining ten points back to us?

Professor McGonagall looked displeased. "Albus, if the two of them don't learn their lesson, they may make even more serious mistakes next time."

George and Fred quickly assured him, "Professor, we already know we were wrong."

Dumbledore smiled and said slowly, "I think they have realized their mistakes. Minerva, punishing students has never been our goal. We teach students so that they can grow better."

Snape: Bah!

No wonder one of you is the principal and the other is the vice-principal.

Being a leader means you have to be shameless...right?

And, McGonagall! If you really don't want Dumbledore to give you Gryffindor points, then interrupt him!

He has already added the points, what else do you have to say?

Dumbledore continued, "George, Fred, you two should go back to your dormitories first! We still have some things to discuss."

George stammered, "Professor, that..."

"How's Justin?" Fred finished.

"This has nothing to do with you!"

Professor McGonagall glared and said sternly, "Now, you two, go back to your dorm immediately! Otherwise, I will turn you two into cats and never change back again."

"Yes!" The twins retreated immediately.

After the twins left, Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore and said solemnly, "Albus, since Argus did have a reason not to be in the Great Hall, then... did the attack happen before the dinner started?"

When the dinner began, everyone except Justin Finch-Fletch was in the Great Hall.

And Filch was a Squib, he was obviously incapable of performing such dark magic.

What is certain, then, is that the attack occurred before the dinner began.

Dumbledore frowned.

This reasoning seemed to be sound on the surface, but he happened to come out of the principal's office before the dinner started.

It wasn't that Dumbledore was arrogant, but he certainly didn't notice anything unusual.

Snape shrank into the shadows and took no part in the discussion.

Taking away the vitality of others... This dark magic is very similar to Voldemort's method.

But... Snape secretly analyzed in his heart, how did Voldemort do it?

Isn't he hiding in the forests of Albania?

Or has Voldemort found someone else to work for him?

Snape looked at Joseph Reddy with a mysterious look.

The only outsider in the castle at the moment was the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and he had only been at Hogwarts for a few days when an attack occurred in the castle.

It's hard not to be suspicious.

Leidy also said nothing.

Firstly, he was a newcomer, and secondly, this matter was too strange and he couldn't find any useful clues at all.

"Albus!" Professor McGonagall said impatiently.

"Minerva, don't worry."

Dumbledore said soothingly, and then said, "Poppy, Pomona, please take this child to the school infirmary first."

Professor Sprout nodded with red eyes.

Madam Pomfrey said seriously: "Dumbledore, the best way to save this child is to find the caster and have him return the life force that was taken away."

"I understand!" Dumbledore nodded.

After Professor Sprout and Madam Pomfrey took Justin away, Dumbledore sent the other professors away.

When only Dumbledore, Flitwick, Snape and McGonagall were left in the office, Dumbledore asked, "Severus, what do you think?"

Snape shook his head.

He knew what Dumbledore meant, but Snape could not trust anyone except Dumbledore.

Oh, except Andy too.

Although Collins is annoying, he knows too much. Sometimes knowing too much will not only get you killed, but also make you trusted.

Dumbledore did not ask further questions.

Snape shook his head, which meant that he knew nothing about it.

In fact, Dumbledore did not believe that Voldemort could sneak into Hogwarts again. He was given a chance last year, but this year there is no such opportunity.

Eighth floor...

Dumbledore frowned.

At this point, it seems that there are no more useful clues.

On the surface of the evidence, it appears that the attack occurred before the dinner began.
