Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

"Who?"

Turning back, the first thing Andy saw was the white beard that hung down to his chest and the half-moon-shaped eyes that reflected light in the dark.

Andy looked at himself again and found that the Disillusionment Charm had lost its effect at some point.

Done!

Andy shrugged resignedly, but he wasn't too nervous.

If you break into the restricted book area at night, the worst that can happen is that you will be deducted some points.

“Even if there is only a rope here, not many little wizards are willing to come here to read.”

Dumbledore explained to himself, "They always like to play tricks and it's hard for them to calm down and learn more knowledge."

"However, there are also some young wizards who are not satisfied with what is in the textbooks and are eager to learn more knowledge."

"Hogwarts was founded to spread knowledge, not to preserve it."

Andy understood.

To sum it up in one sentence, learning depends entirely on self-awareness.

"Good evening, Headmaster Dumbledore." Andy greeted. "Why aren't you asleep yet so late?"

Dumbledore blinked. "You haven't slept either, have you?"

"I came to the restricted books section to take a look." Andy admitted frankly.

This is the art of speaking.

I stayed up all night to visit the restricted books section. What about you?

"As people get older, they tend to suffer from insomnia." Dumbledore seemed a little distressed.

"Okay! It's true that older people are like this. My grandfather also often suffers from insomnia. I'm going back... Good night, Principal." Andy was ready to slip away.

As long as I skate fast, no one can deduct points from me.

"The reason we separated the restricted books area is because those books contain a lot of dangerous magic. Until you are ready, you may need to restrain your curiosity a little." Dumbledore said slowly.

Chapter 44 I have never seen such a shameless little wizard

"Of course I know that some magic is dangerous."

Andy scratched his head and chuckled, "I just came here tonight to check things out. I'm not planning on reading anything. I haven't even finished reading the books outside, so how can I be thinking about the books in the banned section?"

At this point, Andy suddenly realized that tonight might be an opportunity.

The white-bearded old man in front of him is the ceiling of combat power in the magic world. Even if he secretly read hundreds of banned books, he might not gain as much as getting a few words of advice from this man in front of him.

"The principal's office seems to be on the eighth floor. Principal, do you want to go back with me? We're on the same route."

Andy said with a smug look, "If I meet the professor on night patrol on the road... the principal, you can help me speak for him."

Dumbledore: "..."

Dumbledore has been teaching for nearly a hundred years, but this is the first time he has encountered a shameless little wizard like Andy.

The little wizard was caught alive by the principal while strolling at night, but he was not afraid. He even invited the principal to join him for a night stroll.

"That's great. I think it's time to go to bed." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Andy also had a smile on his face. "Principal, you are old now. You should go to bed early and get up early so that you can be healthy. Only when you are healthy can you live a long life."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Dumbledore looked at Andy and blinked. "I am exactly 110 years old this year, and I seem to be in good health."

Andy swallowed.

There is no way to talk about this topic.

"Do you have any secrets? How do you take care of your body? My grandparents are very old, and I hope they can live as long as you."

Andy asked seriously, "I noticed that wizards usually live longer than Muggles. I heard that Muggles retire when they are over 60, but you are still working at over 100 years old. It's really admirable."

Dumbledore also felt that there was nothing to talk about tonight.

"This may have something to do with my preference for sweets." Dumbledore began to ramble.

As they talked, the two walked out of the library. Dumbledore locked the door and continued, "Of course, you must also maintain a good attitude."

“I think you have a good attitude.”

Andy flattered him and then got straight to the point, "Principal, is the secret of wizards' longevity related to magic?"

"Collins, I always tell people that death is just another great adventure."

Dumbledore glanced at Andy and said as he walked away, "Wizards don't live longer than Muggles, but magic does make our bodies look healthier."

Looks like?

Andy understood a little.

"Principal, you don't seem to be afraid of death?" Andy asked.

"I'm ready for another great adventure at any time."

Dumbledore said calmly, but then he changed the subject and said, "I thought that at your age, you would not think about death."

"Everyone will die. I don't think this is a topic that needs to be avoided."

Andy spread his hands and said indifferently: "But I'm different from you. I don't like taking risks."

Dumbledore smiled meaningfully and said, "Ah! I have already noticed that."

Andy's face darkened when he heard this, "Can you keep it a secret for me?"

It does seem a bit silly to jump back and forth in the restricted books section.

Without talking about death anymore, Dumbledore asked casually, "Do you like magic?"

"Of course, I think magic is amazing."

Speaking of magic, Andy immediately became excited. "And there are still many unsolved mysteries about magic, such as: What is the origin and nature of magic? Why can magic do those magical things? What is the upper limit of magic? Why can we use magic..."

There are so many things Andy wants to know, and there are so many unsolved mysteries of magic waiting for Andy to explore.

"alright, alright!"

Dumbledore had a headache. "If you keep asking, it will be dawn soon."

"Ugh!" Andy scratched his head.

Dumbledore continued, "I'm afraid you will have to explore these questions one by one."

"You don't know either?" Andy was puzzled.

"Some know, some don't, and some only have a vague understanding."

Dumbledore shook his head. "These questions are still too far away for you. But fortunately, you are young now, and you still have enough time to find the answers to the questions."

As they were talking, the two had already arrived on the eighth floor.

Andy pressed the issue, "Principal, the night is long and we can't sleep. Why don't we go to the astronomy tower to see the moon? The moon is bright tonight and we can talk about life and our ideals."

Dumbledore: "..."

"When people get old, their health is not as good as before."

Dumbledore pounded his old waist and said, "If you want to see the moon, you might as well call your girlfriend. There's nothing much to see with an old man like me."

Andy sighed.

I find it disgusting too, but you are so knowledgeable!

In the end, Andy still couldn't watch the moon with Dumbledore. Dumbledore returned to the headmaster's office, and Andy returned to the Ravenclaw dormitory.

Dumbledore never mentioned the deduction of points from beginning to end.

Andy didn't care about the deduction, and Dumbledore knew that Andy didn't care about the deduction.

The deduction system at Hogwarts is to punish those young wizards who make mistakes. Since Andy doesn't care about the deduction, this so-called punishment is naturally meaningless.

Lying on the bed, Andy recalled what happened tonight.

The restricted area of ​​the library is indeed separated by only a rope. There is no protective magic on the rope, but there is warning magic.

As soon as anyone crossed the rope, Dumbledore would know.

The significance of doing this is, of course, to allow those young wizards who are willing to improve themselves to learn more advanced magic.

As for the conversation with Dumbledore...

Those conversations seemed like just casual chats, but Andy felt that he gained a lot.

Especially regarding the lifespan of wizards.

Dumbledore said that wizards do not live longer than Muggles, but magic can make wizards appear healthier.

If we extend this topic.

The young wizard can make his wishes come true when his magic power explodes - does this so-called wish come true include stopping aging?

Andy thought that was the case.

However, when a wizard is over eleven years old, his magic power will gradually stabilize.

Stable magic obviously no longer has the ability to make wishes come true, but it can still make the wizard's body look healthier.

In addition, although Dumbledore did not answer Andy's many questions, he let Andy find it on his own.

He said he knew some things, didn't know some things, and had only a vague understanding of some other questions.

But this undoubtedly proves one thing: some questions do have answers!

Chapter 45 Return Professor Quirrell to Us

After talking with Dumbledore, Andy was undoubtedly more determined to pursue magic.

Although those conversations seemed to have nothing to do with magic, they pointed Andy in a direction.

We learn magic, use magic, and utilize magic. But in the end, we still have to return to the essence of all magic - magic power.

Wizards will age and die, but as long as they want to live, magic can make their bodies 'look' healthy and have the ability to move freely.

This undoubtedly proves once again that mental power can affect magic power.

Add to that the Obscurus, a fusion of dark emotions and magic.

All of this seemed to prove to Andy that the fusion of mental power and magical power was the ultimate answer to magic.

but…

"how should I do?"

Andy's magic power has become more and more stable. His experience of living two lives has also made Andy's emotions rarely fluctuate greatly.

"call--"

Andy covered himself with the quilt and went to sleep!

This problem has no solution in the short term.

But the magical knowledge passed down by Hogwarts for thousands of years, as well as Andy's own system, can always help Andy solve this problem.

……

The next day, September 16th, Monday.

As soon as Andy arrived at the auditorium, he saw that the teachers' seats were already full of people, and even Dumbledore had come to the auditorium early.

The auditorium was silent. The young wizards were absent-mindedly eating their breakfast and glancing towards the teachers' seats from time to time.

At Hogwarts, professors generally do not come to the hall to eat except on some major festivals and the opening banquet.

The house-elves will thoughtfully deliver three meals a day to the professors' offices.

Today was just an ordinary day, but all the professors and the headmaster of Hogwarts had gathered in the Great Hall, and it was obvious that something big was going to be announced.

The little wizards have already guessed the answer.

Quirrell, who had also guessed the answer, was now sitting in the corner, waiting to die silently.
