Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

Isabel's tiredness disappeared and she became more energetic, as if she was not the one who had been angry with Andy before.

"I found a secret base yesterday. You will never find me if I hide there." The little girl said stealthily.

"I hid your snacks last night."

Andy still had a book that he hadn't finished reading last night. Seeing that the little girl was pestering him, Andy had no choice but to use his ultimate move. "If you can't find it, you won't have any snacks this week."

"Andy——"

Isabel was about to get mad. Andy had hidden her snacks again, even though she had been on high alert. "Just wait!"

After sending the angry little girl away, Andy took a book from the bookshelf, but did not open it immediately.

"system!"

A translucent virtual interface appeared in front of Andy.

The system interface is very simple, with a spherical pattern in the middle. The sphere is transparent and filled with nearly one-third red liquid.

There is a row of words under the sphere.

[Potential Points: 1]

It took Andy five years from the time he awakened his magic power system at the age of six to today, and he has only saved up one potential point. He has been reluctant to add it to his attributes until now.

The system did not provide any intelligent prompts, so Andy still could not figure out how the red liquid in the sphere increased.

The left and right sides of the sphere are personal data.

Data on the left:

[Charms: 3]

[Transformation: 4]

[Black magic: 2]

【Alchemy: 3】

[Divination: 0]

Data on the right:

【Magic Power: 2】

【Soul: 4】

【Mind: 3】

[Thinking: 3]

[Will: 2]

The function of the system is clear at a glance, it is nothing more than a point-adding system, which is very consistent with the noble status of the traverser.

However, judging from the data currently provided by the system, although the system did not give a specific evaluation, Andy still believed that he was just an average person.

After all, Kyle and Helen were not famous wizards. They were just average students in school, and Helen was only good at Potions. As for Kyle, he could basically be said to have no special features.

Today is already the beginning of June, 1991. According to past practice, an owl will deliver the Hogwarts admission letter next month.

So even though the data [Potential Points: 1] is much better than [Potential Points: 0], Andy now has to consider the issue of adding points.

As for which attribute to add, Andy had already decided.

Spells are undoubtedly the most important of all magic. Andy decided to improve his talent in spells first, and then consider adding points to other attributes.

A thought came to my mind——

"Not enough potential points!"

The system, which had been unresponsive for a long time, finally responded, but this response almost made Andy uninstall the system.

"System, do you know how determined I am to make this decision?"

“How many potential points are needed?”

"..."

The system seems to have crashed.

“既然是潜能点不足，那么究竟是1、2、3、4这样的递增，还是1、2、4、8这样的翻倍？”

"If it's increasing, it's fine, but if it's doubling..."

Doesn't that mean that to increase from [4] to [5], a full 16 potential points are needed?

For example, if you want to increase the attribute from [3] to [3] incrementally, you only need 4 potential points. But if you want to double the points, you need 4 potential points.

"Um……"

Andy pondered for a moment.

Although the method of obtaining potential points has not yet been figured out, judging from the current difficulty, reaching [4] talent points may classify one as an ordinary genius.

"So...how do you get potential points?"

It can be said that Andy has tried various methods in the past few years, and even suffered from embarrassing cancer a few times, but the red liquid in the ball was either indifferent or secretly increased.

So much so that Andy still has no clue.

Chapter 3 Development and Research of Ancient Witchcraft

A Study on the Development of Ancient Witchcraft

Andy took the book from the bookshelf, turned to the part he had read last night and continued reading.

The Collins family is not an ancient family of wizards. According to family records, the earliest wizard in the family appeared two centuries ago.

According to current terms, the Collins family can be considered a half-blood wizard family.

Therefore, there are not many magic books in the house, most of which are popular books that can be bought in bookstores. The few rare books are also obtained by our ancestors from their friends.

Since the little wizard's magic power is not stable, his family strictly forbids Andy to read books related to spellcasting, in order to prevent Andy from accidentally casting spells, or losing control, or causing harm to himself.

Those magic books were cursed, and as long as Andy touched them, the alarm in the house would sound.

"It's really the same as guarding against thieves." Andy complained habitually, but his mind was completely immersed in the contents described in the magic book.

The first human wizards did not have wands, so it was difficult for wizards of that era to cast spells, and many wizards only knew one or two spells. If they were not skilled in casting spells or lost control of their emotions, their magic might even go haywire.

"So... controlling your emotions is important for casting spells?"

"Or should I say...heart and will?"

Andy turned his eyes to the side, and under the interference of strong will, the feather pen on the desk slowly flew up.

Andy had already been able to do this skillfully a few years ago.

At first, Andy thought he was a one-in-a-million magical genius. As long as he learned how to cast spells, he could step on Voldemort and punch Dumbledore.

However, this idea was eventually ridiculed by his mother Helen.

The most crucial reason why Andy can cast simple spells is that the little wizard's magic power is not stable enough.

As he got older, Andy found that his wandless spellcasting was becoming more and more difficult. Every time he concentrated his mind to cast a spell, he would feel a strong sense of stagnation.

However, Andy has been consciously practicing his 'wandless casting' skills, even though it has become increasingly difficult.

According to Helen's explanation, this feeling of stagnation appeared mainly because Andy's magic power had gradually stabilized and his emotions when casting the spell were not strong enough.

Once Andy has a magic wand in the future, it will be much easier for him to cast spells.

Andy also found the same answer to this statement in the book.

"So this is how the Obscurus was born?"

In the book "Research on the Development of Ancient Witchcraft", there is an entire chapter devoted to the introduction of Obscurus.

According to the book: When a wizard child is forced to suppress his or her magic due to physical or psychological abuse, they will experience extreme emotional pain, thus creating a dark parasitic magical force called "Obscura".

When an Obscurial reaches an emotional and mental breaking point, they lose control of their body and release their Obscurus.

The book says that the power of the Obscurus is extremely strong and uncontrollable.

"So, emotions - or mental power - can be integrated with magic power to make the magic power stronger?"

However, according to the book "Research and Development of Ancient Witchcraft", Obscurus can only be born in the bodies of young wizards under the age of ten, and they will not live beyond the age of ten.

When the young wizard is over ten years old and the magic power in his body becomes relatively stable, no matter how strong the emotions are, they will not give rise to silence.

"The fusion of spiritual power and magic power can be used as a research topic in the future."

The current system seems to be of no help to Andy, but the above data can help Andy better understand his abilities.

The data on the right side of the system include five attributes: magic, soul, mind, thinking, and will.

Leaving aside magic and soul for now, according to the system's classification, mind, thinking and will are obviously three different forces.

"Forget about the mind, but willpower - are you talking about some magical defenses? For example, the Cruciatus Curse and the Imperius Curse?"

Andy continued to flip through the book.

Andy had read the chapter about Obscuran several times in a row. After making sure there was no information missing, Andy continued to read the rest.

Half an hour later, Andy closed the book.

“Rubbish book!”

Ancient magic and modern magic are two completely different things, and the explanation of ancient magic in this book is simply an introduction to its 'development history', without any substantial content.

Well! This is actually a history book and has nothing to do with magic.

"somebody is coming?"

Andy looked out the window to relax his eyes, but saw a small black dot appear on the distant mountain. The small black dot was approaching his home quickly and gradually became clearer.

"Oh my God, it's him again!" Andy looked a little sad.

Meeting Ron Weasley was definitely a major mistake in Andy's future plans.

There are four mountains between the Weasley family and the Collins family. Andy once rode a children's version of a flying broom to visit his neighbors, and the Weasley family was no exception.

What Andy didn't expect was that the Weasley family actually had a kid of the same age as him.

Well, Andy was actually a little surprised at first. After all, Ron was a character in the original Harry Potter book, and he was one of the three main characters.

Ron in the first movie was still very likable, especially his self-sacrifice in the chess scene.

However, after Andy became familiar with Ron - that is, after a few words, Andy wished he had never met this person.

Because the two sides have absolutely no common language!

Andy wanted to talk to Ron about magic. After all, the Weasleys were a famous family of wizards with a long tradition in the wizarding world. Although they were down and out now, they would never sell the magic books in their collection.

But Ron always wanted to talk to Andy about Quidditch, or some wild bragging.

If he was really eleven years old, Andy wouldn't mind being friends with Ron, but Andy was not really eleven years old after all.

In just a moment of reminiscing, Ron had already landed in front of the Collins' house on a children's version of a flying broom.

"Andy!" Ron looked up and waved at Andy who was standing in front of the window.

"Wait a moment, I'll go downstairs and open the door for you."

After putting the book back on the bookshelf, Andy sighed and ran downstairs.

Andy was a Muggle in his previous life, so Andy has an almost fanatical passion for magic.

But Ron was clearly not like that.

He is just an ordinary child from the wizarding world.

Just like Andy’s previous life, everyone knows that technology is amazing, but learning math, physics and chemistry is also a huge torture.

However, perhaps it was precisely because Ron was born into the wizarding world that he only had Andy as his little wizard friend of the same age.

Chapter 4 Hermione and her two useless men, Part

"Merlin! You're reading at home again. I'm sure you'll be sorted into Ravenclaw. My mother said the same thing. She always hoped I could be like you."

Ron looked exaggerated, but then he realized that it was not right to say that, and changed his words: "I'm not saying that you are not good, I mean - we haven't started school yet, right?"

From Ron's tone, it sounded like he would study hard when he went to school.
