Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

Andy: "..."

Andy had already spotted the house-elf hiding in the corner.

The house-elf was very thin, with pale skin full of wrinkles and a lot of white hair growing in its bat-like ears. It looked like it was already old.

It looked at Andy with contempt, then bowed slightly, bowed reluctantly, and continued to mutter some curse words, "If the mistress knew that a weird kid entered her house, what would she say..."

Andy: "..."

This house-elf has quite a personality.

Andy glanced towards the door thoughtfully.

Even if I hate Sirius, do I still have to be loyal to him?

After thinking about it, Andy quickly pulled out his wand!

"Out-of-body experience!"

Andy whispered the spell.

Kreacher was in a daze for a moment, and then continued to do his own thing as if nothing had happened.

From today until the Polyjuice Potion was successfully brewed, Andy decided to come to No. 12 Grimmauld Place every other day to cast the Imperius Curse on the house-elf.

By the way, let's take a look at the Black family's collection of books.

From Sirius's attitude just now, it can be seen that he hates this house-elf. Because he hates it, he doesn't care about its occasional abnormalities.

That way, nothing will be left without a trace.

There is only one update today, and I will resume two updates tomorrow! Sorry everyone, I have something to do these two days.

Chapter 371 Study and Emblem, Secrets of the Pure-Blood Family

After searching around the fourth floor, Andy quickly found the location of the study.

When I opened the door, I saw a leather sofa and coffee table, and next to the sofa there were a few desks and chairs. These furniture were old and a little damaged, but they could be considered high-end items even if they were put in more than a decade ago.

If you turn your head slightly, you can see rows of bookshelves filled with various magic books.

The study room was not very big, and was even smaller than the library at Hogwarts. Andy walked to a row of bookshelves, took a quick look, and pulled out a book he had never read before and flipped through two pages.

I have to say, Sirius was not bragging.

The Black family has a strong foundation.

Since children in the magical world all go to magic schools, which not only teach basic magical knowledge but also have rich collections of books in the libraries, families in the magical world do not actually need to collect too many books.

What's more, the Hogwarts library is known to have the most complete collection of magic books in the wizarding world.

Because of this, the books here are of relatively high quality, and many of them are rare orphan books in the magic world, recording ancient and precious magical knowledge.

If the teaching at Hogwarts can only be regarded as junior high school and high school education, then the books here can allow you to complete university or even graduate education.

Andy just took a quick glance and found that most of the books here were related to black magic, with a small number of books on alchemy, potions, transfiguration and the like.

"As expected of a family named 'Darkness'." Andy muttered quietly.

However, surprisingly, the Black family did not have any books on magical transfiguration.

Of course, this is easy to understand.

The heyday of magical transfiguration was in the early Middle Ages, between the fifth and tenth centuries.

In order to study magical transformation, wizards of that era conducted many cruel magical experiments.

The essence of magical transformation is to use potions and human transfiguration to steal the magical powers of magical animals and nature.

The Black family prides themselves on being noble and pure-blooded, and they certainly don't want to admit that there may be the blood of some magical animal flowing in their veins.

Andy noticed that on one wall of the study was the family coat of arms of the Black family.

The overall shape of the emblem is a shield, black in color, with two five-pointed stars on the top, a mountain symbol in the middle, and a silver dagger inlaid at the bottom.

There is also a French phrase on the coat of arms, which means: Forever pure.

Andy raised his eyebrows.

It is impossible for a family crest to be designed without any basis, just like the Hogwarts emblem and the logos of the four major colleges, all of which have their representative meanings.

So what does the Black family crest represent?

"The overall coat of arms is in the shape of a shield, with stars, mountains, and daggers printed on it... These symbols seem to have nothing to do with the history of the Black family."

So, is it magical transformation?

"The Black ancestors were on a mountain, stealing the magic of the stars?"

Andy: "..."

Andy felt that he might have gone too far in his research on magical transfiguration. Now, no matter what he saw, he could associate it with magical transfiguration.

But then again.

In order to investigate the news about the Deathly Hallows, Andy and Hermione had looked up information on many ancient magical families, and the Black family was naturally among them.

Members of the Black family, especially the eldest heir, usually use names related to astrology and constellations.

This is obviously a clue.

Plus the Black family crest...

Andy had reason to suspect that his guess might be correct.

"Forget it! Even if the Black family's ancestors really stole the magic of the stars, it is probably lost now."

Andy shook his head.

Just looking at the Black family's collection of books, you can tell that they don't want people to know this history.

After using a cleaning spell to clean the dust off the sofa, Andy sat on it and picked up a book to read.

creak-

Sirius opened the door and walked in, "I brought you coffee, would you like to try it?"

"Thank you!" Andy did not refuse.

Putting down the book, Andy took the coffee and took a sip. "No one found you this time, did you?"

"Are you asking about the owner of the coffee shop?" Sirius found a place to sit down and gestured to Andy with the coffee in his hand.

It was dim downstairs, and Andy didn't pay much attention to Sirius's appearance. But now he saw... this guy had changed his clothes and taken a shower. Although he was still a little disheveled, overall, his appearance was at least ten times better than Snape's.

"What are your plans for the next few days?" Andy asked.

"What else?"

Sirius said helplessly: "Dumbledore won't let me wander around. At least I have to stay at home until the mouse is caught."

Andy thought for a moment and said, "Harry's birthday is at the end of this month. As his godfather, now that you have escaped, you should at least show some appreciation, right?"

Sirius said excitedly, "Of course! Do you have any good suggestions? You are classmates, do you know what Harry likes?"

Andy originally wanted to say that Harry liked exercises, but when he remembered that there were no exercises in the wizarding world, he had to swallow the words back.

"Harry likes Quidditch. He's now Gryffindor's Seeker and he's pretty good at it," Andy reminded.

"I knew it!"

Sirius excitedly said, "James is a very good seeker. If it weren't for the war, he would probably be on a Quidditch team by now."

Sirius was obviously eager to talk about Harry, to learn as much as possible about this godson whom he hadn't seen for twelve years.

For the sake of coffee, Andy chatted with him for a while.

People always say that human nature cannot stand the test.

But on the other hand, humanity that has been tested is definitely the most valuable quality.

Just like Sirius.

He was willing to suffer in Azkaban for twelve years to punish himself, and now he escaped from Azkaban alone to avenge his friend, facing the pursuit of the entire wizarding world.

This friendship and will alone are precious qualities rarely seen in the world.

At least Andy felt that he could never do it.

So Andy admires such people very much.

After drinking coffee, Andy also told Sirius a lot of interesting things about Harry.

Sirius was clearly unsatisfied.

Andy put the empty coffee cup on the coffee table, picked up a book beside him and started reading.

That's all we can talk about over a cup of coffee.

"So, I hate chatting with people from Ravenclaw the most." Sirius said in a rather disappointing tone. His voice was very soft, but just loud enough for Andy to hear.

"You look really like Kreacher now. You are indeed a family. Even your hobbies are so similar." Andy said lightly.

Chapter 372 Discussion on Winning Over People

Chapter title: The Routine of Winning People Over (I can’t change the chapter title after becoming a V user. I was a little clumsy and didn’t pay attention.)

"Have you seen Kreacher?"

Sirius looked a little angry, "Damn it! Did that useless bastard say anything to you?"

Judging from his expression, he obviously wanted to teach the house-elf a lesson.

For Sirius, Andy was the first person in the world who was willing to believe him. Andy found some doubts and was willing to listen to his explanation.

These may seem insignificant, but for Sirius, who is at the end of his rope, Andy's trust is like a traveler lost in the desert seeing water and food. Everything is so precious.

Andy came to Sirius's house as a guest, and it was already very rude for him to have nothing to offer. If the house-elf really said something unpleasant...

Sirius swore that he would severely punish that damn house-elf!

"I'm not angry, why are you so angry?"

Andy said calmly while reading a book: "Kreacher is a house-elf. He can only do things according to his master's will. To be honest, they are already very pitiful."

"In fact, Kreacher was very polite and bowed to me."

"But it has obviously absorbed some bad ideas, but these have nothing to do with Kreacher. They don't have much freedom, and their thinking is very rigid."

“We shouldn’t get angry with it.”

Realizing the value of Sirius, Andy naturally had to do something.

There is no doubt that Kreacher is a good breakthrough, even though Sirius doesn't like him very much.

"My mother taught it a lot of bad ideas. My family worships the theory of pure blood very much, even to the point of paranoia."

Sirius said in a complicated tone: "I hate these things, even disgusted. Because I joined Gryffindor, my mother was very angry, and she even expelled me from the family."

"Of course, I don't care about that."

"After I left home, I lived with James at his house. His parents were very friendly and it was a happy time."

It can be seen that Sirius is not without feelings for his family. He just hates the theory of pure blood.

Andy said, "I rarely comment on other people's behavior, and I won't interfere with other people's ideas and behaviors just because I think I'm right."

"I think everyone in the world has their own beliefs and ideas. We may not understand them, but there is no need to blame them. Just do your own thing."

"But there is a problem with this. When beliefs and ideas conflict and the contradictions are irreconcilable, war is the only way to solve the problem."

Mental problems are always troublesome.

It is of course best to seek common ground while reserving differences, but interests determine position, position affects thoughts, and thoughts determine behavior.

Andy didn't bother with that.

"You are a pure Ravenclaw."

Sirius said, "But... I'm curious, what do you think of the pure-blood theory?"

Andy turned a page of the book and said, "Time will eliminate everything that does not conform to the current society. Why does Voldemort have so many supporters? Because they are afraid, and they want to restore the glory of their ancestors."

"In fact, they are already on the brink of elimination."
