Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

And it's not appropriate to tell others about Snape's affairs.

At least not now!

Dumbledore continued, "Tell me about yourself, Sirius."

"call--"

Sirius took a breath to calm himself, and recalled what happened back then in a complicated tone.

At first, Sirius was indeed the secret-keeper of the spell.

But he thought he was too high-profile and was also a target for the Death Eaters. He thought he should change to a safer secret keeper, and then he would stand in the open to attract the attention of the Death Eaters.

At that time, a traitor appeared in the Order of the Phoenix.

Sirius did not dare to trust Remus Lupin because of his werewolf identity.

So Sirius suggested that Peter Pettigrew be the secret-keeper of the Fidelius Charm.

And then...tragedy happened.

After learning the truth, Sirius went alone to hunt down Peter Pettigrew. In desperation, Pettigrew used magic to blow up the entire street, leaving only a severed finger.

Sirius thought Peter Pettigrew was dead, and in order to punish himself, he allowed the Ministry of Magic to imprison him in Azkaban without any explanation.

In fact, the Ministry of Magic didn't even give him a chance to explain.

When the Aurors arrived at the scene, apart from a destroyed street and dead Muggles, there was only Sirius standing there laughing crazily - the Aurors also found Pettigrew's severed finger there.

Plus Sirius didn't make any excuses.

So Sirius was imprisoned in Azkaban without any trial.

after that……

Fudge came to Azkaban for inspection. Sirius asked him for a newspaper and saw the news that Arthur Weasley won the Galleon Prize in the newspaper. He also saw news about Peter Pettigrew in the report - that damn rat!

After Sirius escaped, he first went to the Burrow to take a look. When he learned that the Weasleys had not returned yet, he wanted to go to number four Privet Drive to see his godson.

Unexpectedly, Andy had been waiting for him there.

"How long did you stay at Privet Drive before Collins showed up?" Dumbledore asked suddenly.

Sirius was stunned for a moment, "About four or five days!"

Dumbledore nodded, "Four or five days... I understand, go on!"

Sirius was confused, but continued, "I didn't want to hurt the boy, but he kept chasing me. I couldn't help it. The situation was critical. I thought if I could injure his leg, he wouldn't be able to keep chasing me."

"But at this moment, a guardian angel..."

“Guardian!!”

Sirius' eyes widened suddenly. What happened? He was attacked by a Patronus?

After leaving Azkaban, Sirius did read a lot of newspapers, but the news about the Patronus Charm was last year, and Sirius hadn't seen it yet.

"That's Collins' unique magic."

Dumbledore explained, and then continued, "You were brought here after being knocked out by the Patronus? What did you two talk about?"

Sirius gave Dumbledore a questioning look.

Why did he feel that Dumbledore cared more about Andy than him?

Is it an illusion?

"I was under a coma spell and woke up here."

Sirius continued, "That boy's name is Andy Collins, right? I swear, he is the most alert little wizard I have ever seen, even better than many Aurors, maybe even Mad-Eye can't compare to him!"

"He knew to wait for me at number four, Privet Drive!"

"Although he thought I was a Death Eater, he was keenly aware of some suspicious points."

"He asked me why I hadn't escaped from Azkaban earlier, and asked me why I hadn't hurt Harry since I had already gone to number four, Privet Drive."

"Because of these doubts, he did not hand me over to the Ministry of Magic immediately. After listening to my explanation, he called you here. Oh, by the way, that guy was very alert. When he contacted you, he also cast a Stunning Spell on me."

Dumbledore nodded slightly when he heard this.

In fact, Sirius's feeling was not wrong.

In this matter, Dumbledore was indeed more concerned about Andy's behavior.

Because Sirius's problem was easy to solve. They just had to wait for the Weasleys to come back from their trip, and then they could easily catch the mouse and prove Sirius' innocence.

But Andy was different.

If he is not handled properly, he may very likely become the third generation Dark Lord of the wizarding world.

But if guided well, Andy may also become the guardian of the magical world.

After entering the cave, Dumbledore keenly realized that this place was definitely not used to imprison Sirius.

Or rather, it was not just for the purpose of imprisoning Sirius.

Considering the magic that Andy had been studying during this period, Dumbledore immediately realized that this place was prepared for the magic transfiguration experiment.

And Sirius is the experimental subject!

But Andy found some suspicious points. He felt that Sirius might have been wronged, so he gave him a chance to defend himself.

But if there were no doubts...

Maybe Sirius would regret escaping from Azkaban.

Dumbledore had mixed feelings.

He was relieved that Andy still had a conscience, but at the same time he was somewhat troubled by Andy's fanatical attitude towards magic.

Andy is crazy.

In order to study magic, he was even ready for human experiments, but Andy was targeting those evil Death Eaters.

This doesn't seem like a normal thirteen year old at all.

"Any more?"

Dumbledore asked, "What did you talk about afterwards?"

Sirius: Really! You really care more about Andy, don't you?

"I asked about the secret of my Dementors."

Sirius said helplessly, "You have to say... He is worthy of being a Ravenclaw. In this environment, he still wants to study. He also wanted to read the Black family's collection of books, and I agreed to it. We later talked about our views on magic."

"Oh, by the way! We have also agreed to a duel. Five hundred duels!"

At the end, Sirius' tone was even more excited.

Dumbledore: "..."

Chapter 370: Imperius Curse, House-Elf in Hand

After Apparating away, Andy did not return home immediately, but went to the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade and hid the cauldron for brewing Polyjuice Potion there.

After checking the condition of the Polyjuice Potion and making sure there was no problem, Andy used Apparition again and returned home.

After dinner, Andy chatted with his family for a while. It was past nine o'clock in the evening. He took a shower, changed into pajamas, and lay in bed to get ready for sleep.

Although something unexpected happened today, Andy felt that he did not suffer any loss.

Regardless of the gains and losses, Andy doesn't want to turn himself into a cold-blooded animal who can break the bottom line of human nature in order to study magic.

Even though this bottom line is very low, Andy will set up a defense line in his heart to prevent himself from really losing his humanity and becoming a devil who does all kinds of evil.

Just like Voldemort!

In comparison, gains and losses are not that important.

"call--"

Andy let out a sigh, closed his eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

……

After breakfast the next day, Andy took the pounds and Apparated to King's Cross Station in London, and then took a taxi to Grimmauld Place.

This is a very old residential area with dilapidated houses. Andy didn't see many pedestrians along the way. He occasionally met a few residents, all of whom were elderly people.

It is undeniable that if it were a few decades ago, the buildings here would indeed be considered luxurious. But in the 1990s... Andy felt that the houses here might soon be labeled "demolished".

12 Grimmauld Place.

There is strong magical protection here, but Andy already knows the address.

When Andy stood between House 11 and House 13, the space slowly moved to both sides, and House 12 seemed to squeeze out from the crack in the space.

Andy went forward to check.

The black door was covered with scratches, and the silver door handle was in the shape of a coiled snake - this door could only be opened by magic. When chatting with Sirius yesterday, Sirius had already taught Andy the magic to open the door.

Andy pulled out his wand and tapped the handle, and the dark door slowly opened.

Walking into the garden, perhaps because no one has lived here for more than ten years, the garden is overgrown with weeds, the dirty and messy house is covered with ivy, and the windows are filthy.

Andy held the magic wand and opened the door carefully.

"Hi!"

A man who barely looked like a human waved enthusiastically at Andy, "Collins, I knew you would come! Ravenclaws are always eager to learn new knowledge."

Andy: "..."

"Dumbledore lets you live here alone?" Andy asked speechlessly.

"He trusts me!" Sirius looked very happy.

After all, both Andy and Dumbledore chose to believe Sirius without any evidence, which made Sirius very moved.

Because no matter how nice his words sound, they are only his one-sided opinion.

He has no evidence.

"Dumbledore is too careless."

Andy complained: "I think he should lock you up until you prove your innocence."

Sirius spread his hands and said proudly, "Dumbledore sent me back. He even helped me clean up my room last night. Oh~ No one has lived here for seven or eight years. The environment in the house is even worse than Azkaban."

I need to clean up the room...

"Sorry, my wand isn't working."

Andy immediately put away his wand and decisively changed the subject, "When I came in just now, I didn't seem to find any trace of Aurors outside?"

Sirius blinked his left eye, "They are Aurors after all, they always have their own way of thinking."

Andy was speechless again after hearing this, and complained: "I heard that the Aurors have been chasing you. But they neither went to Privet Drive nor waited at the door of your house... Now I really want to know, how exactly did they chase you?"

Running around the world?

Sirius sneered, "Do you believe it? Even if I go to Gringotts and use the Black family's vault, the Ministry of Magic won't receive any news?"

Andy: "..."

It’s worthy of being the Ministry of Magic. Such efficiency is truly admirable.

Sirius continued, "As you can see, there is nothing to entertain you at home right now. If you want to read, you can go to the study on the fourth floor."

"I'm going to go out and get some breakfast."

"By the way, there is a very annoying house-elf in the house named Kreacher. If it says anything unpleasant, you should teach it a lesson."

Andy's expression changed slightly, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go read for a while. By the way, be careful when you go out, the Muggle world is also looking for you."

Sirius waved his hand nonchalantly, "I'm leaving, do whatever you want."

After Sirius left, Andy shrugged, found the stairs and headed for the fourth floor.

"What an ungrateful bastard. It would have been fine if he had just run away, but he also broke the heart of his mistress. Now that he has nowhere else to go, he runs back home and hides himself..."

When Andy reached the second floor, he suddenly heard a low murmur, which was very soft but very clear.

"He also brought a weird little wild kid into my mistress's old house... If my mistress were still alive, she would be so sad... What a disgusting, ungrateful and filthy bastard."
