Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

Professor McGonagall answered: "Many famous wizards in history have said that the highest realm of magic is to make your wishes come true, but it cannot create something out of nothing."

"Magic can indeed simulate the properties of matter, but it must rely on other substances to complete the transformation."

"If you want to know more about Transfiguration, you can read more books on the subject."

Professor McGonagall answered all of Andy's questions, and Andy readily said, "I'm reading a book on this subject, Professor!"

Hermione gave Andy a secret look and lied again, "You've been reading books on spells."

"Any questions, Mr. Collins?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"No more. Thank you, Professor." Andy sat back in his seat.

"What about the others?"

No! All the little wizards shook their heads together.

Professor McGonagall gave everyone a match and asked them to use Transfiguration to turn the match into a needle.

Andy tapped the magic wand and the match instantly turned into a needle. Andy also showed off his skills by carving some beautiful patterns on the needle.

"Mr. Collins has succeeded, two points for Ravenclaw."

Professor McGonagall took Andy's transformed needle and showed it to the other little wizards. "You are all little wizards of the same grade. You can't fall too far behind Mr. Collins, because that would make you look very stupid."

Andy was stunned.

I didn't expect you to be this kind of Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall not only used Andy's achievements to inspire other young wizards, but also brought hatred to Andy.

As expected, women are very vindictive.

I just said that you have a tabby cat and you want to trick other little wizards into petting you!

You haven’t gotten it yet, so what are you doing?

Professor McGonagall obviously knew Gryffindor very well, and her provocation was very effective on the young wizards of Gryffindor.

Just in the moment when she finished speaking.

boom! ! !

There was an explosion.

Chapter 31 Magic is Andy's dream

When Andy heard the explosion, he was no longer as surprised as he was in the previous class.

He turned his head calmly and saw Seamus holding a wand in his hand, standing there in a daze. There was still black smoke from the explosion on the table in front of him.

Seamus, you are such a talent!

Andy is not being sarcastic. From an academic point of view, Seamus's situation is indeed very special.

The reason why this situation occurred when Simo cast the spell was perhaps because his magic power was not stable enough, or perhaps he was too impatient when casting the spell.

Of course, it's also possible that he simply likes explosions, which has affected his magic.

Any of these three situations is worth studying.

It's a pity that Andy and Seamus are not even acquaintances, so it's naturally not a good idea for Andy to rashly ask Seamus about his mental state.

Andy glanced at Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall scolded Seamus sternly, and then replaced the match for Seamus.

Andy thought to himself, "It seems that in Professor McGonagall's eyes, Seamus's situation is not special."

Professor McGonagall has been teaching for decades and is considered to be knowledgeable. Since she didn't care about Seamus, does that mean that Seamus' situation is actually very normal in the wizarding world?

Andy looked away, suppressing the urge to slice Seamus.

After all, Azkaban is not a formal academy.

Until the end of get out of class, Andy had been secretly keeping an eye on Seamus's situation.

Ever since the explosion when he cast the spell and the scolding from Professor McGonagall, Seamus has become much more depressed.

He seemed a little afraid to cast spells, and only when Professor McGonagall's eyes turned to him would he pretend to make a few movements with his wand.

Not only that, in this class, Andy also noticed two interesting phenomena-Ron and Neville.

Both of their wands were old wands that had been used by others.

Although it was difficult to observe too much information in one class, Andy was still keenly aware that Ron and Neville's spellcasting was not smooth.

Especially Neville, he looks only slightly better than a Squib.

The two of them were not confident enough to begin with, and this phenomenon of unsmooth casting would even aggravate their lack of confidence.

Andy can even see through their future at a glance!

Under this vicious cycle, the two of them will definitely be at the bottom of the magical world when they become adults.

This is not the case.

Although Andy had only seen the first Harry Potter movie, he had heard of the names Neville and Ron to some extent.

They are important supporting characters in "Harry Potter" and their future will never be mediocre.

"But why is this happening?" Andy analyzed secretly.

And Andy also didn't understand why the Sorting Hat put Neville into Gryffindor.

Ron has already proved himself in the chess scene in the movie that he has the courage to sacrifice himself for what is right.

What about Neville?

Andy frowned.

If the Sorting Hat never makes mistakes, then could it have sorted Neville into Gryffindor in the hope that Gryffindor's courage would influence Neville and help him regain his confidence?

The more Andy studied magic, the more he discovered that many factors could affect the success rate of spellcasting, and a good mentality was the most important of them.

More and more examples can prove that Andy's current research direction is correct.

Mind and magic have always been inseparable!

At 3:20, Transfiguration class is over.

Andy and Hermione walked towards the abandoned classroom on the sixth floor.

Andy glanced at Hermione beside him with some doubts. She seemed a little unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Andy asked with a raised eyebrow.

"nothing."

Hermione said, "I just feel like I'm so far behind."

In the Transfiguration class, although she made some changes to the matches and her progress was far beyond that of other little wizards, she still felt unsatisfied.

Andy laughed and said, "Before going to school, I practiced magic at home for more than a month. Your talent is far beyond that of other little wizards."

However, these words could not comfort Hermione at all.

When Hermione felt that she was "far worse", Andy finally saw what madness was.

For three days, Hermione either practiced magic in the abandoned classroom or went to the library to read. After the library closed, she studied in the Ravenclaw common room until late at night.

She gave up almost all her entertainment time and was even crazier than Andy was in his senior year of high school in his previous life.

Of course, Hermione's enthusiasm for studying also influenced Andy.

Andy is very obsessed with magic, an obsession that no one in this world can understand.

Even Hermione was the same.

Although Hermione came from the Muggle world where there was no magic, she was exposed to magic when she was eleven years old, and her most basic worldview had not yet been formed.

But Andy grew up in a world without magic. His ordinary life made Andy often fantasize about those mysterious powers.

And now, magic is Andy's dream!

Studying alone for a long time may become boring.

But when there is someone with you, you will feel that the boredom is not actually unbearable.

Especially Andy and Hermione are the kind of people who love learning. Learning not only does not make them feel boring, but also makes them happy.

Two people means double the joy.

No matter what, the little Loli is always much more pleasing to the eye than the three bad boys in the dormitory.

Andy had long lost his patience with them.

No adult would make friends with a child, except for little Lolita.

……

On Saturday morning, Andy and Hermione were having dinner in the Great Hall.

Pupu!

A flock of owls flew in from the windows of the auditorium. They flew over the long table and threw things in their claws to the little wizards who needed to receive them.

"How come there's mine too?" Andy took a letter that fell from the sky, slightly stunned.

The reply from home was received on Wednesday. Andy had not written any letters to his family in the past two days, nor had he bought anything in Diagon Alley.

"you forgot?"

Hermione glanced around furtively, tilted her head closer to Andy, and said in a low voice, "Maybe it's Malfoy."

Well! Andy had been so busy these past two days that he had forgotten about it.

Andy opened the envelope. There was no signature on the letter, but it was indeed Malfoy's handwriting.

Andy opened the letter and was about to read it, but he saw Hermione quickly stand up and look around, pretending to want to help Andy keep watch. Andy was so scared that he quickly pulled her back.

"Idiot! You're so mysterious, even a fool would know we have a secret."

Andy read the letter openly and instructed, "Eat! Just like usual, and don't look around. This is just an ordinary reply letter."

Chapter 32 Harry and Ron Caught on a Night Out

Hermione looked at Andy strangely. Why are you so skilled at this? What have you been through over the years?

Andy reads the letter.

Malfoy had already corresponded with Malfoy Sr., who unsurprisingly agreed to the plan.

Malfoy has been trying to contact Slytherin's senior students these days. They are also very interested in this matter, and things went very smoothly at the beginning.

But the matter quickly got out of Malfoy's control.

Malfoy was not the only one in Slytherin whose father was a school director. Now that they knew about this, they naturally would not bother with Malfoy, a first-year kid.

That's why Malfoy wrote to Andy for help. He wanted to take back the initiative in this matter.

"That's really the Slytherin style!"

Andy chuckled and shook his head, and the letter in his hand turned into ashes and dissipated in the air.

Andy turned his head to look in the direction of the Slytherin table and happened to meet Malfoy's eyes.

Malfoy also seemed much more cautious. He just nodded slightly and then turned his gaze in other directions.

"What did he say?" Hermione asked angrily.

She had already written a letter of complaint to Dumbledore, and to Andy's surprise, Dumbledore wrote a reply to Hermione very quickly.

He admitted that he would change the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts next year, but this year's candidate had already been determined. It would be difficult for him to dismiss Quirrell without reason before Quirrell made any mistakes.

In Andy's opinion, Dumbledore's reply was not perfunctory.

(Andy didn't know about the curse)

It's just that it's hard for Andy to wait another year.

Andy only has seven years to study, and every year is very important to him.

If I delay for a year, I don’t know how much knowledge I will miss.
