Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

……

Arriving at Diagon Alley through the fireplace, Helen held Isabel's hand and said to Andy, "Leave the rest to me, and go buy your wand and clothes."

Helen always feels at ease with Andy.

"Got it, Mom."

Andy has been to Diagon Alley many times and is very familiar with the place.

I was very excited when I came here for the first time, and I was still interested in walking around the second and third time. But after coming here many times, I found that there was actually nothing to see here except the magic.

The scope of Diagon Alley is not even as large as the larger pedestrian streets in the Muggle world.

Ollivander: Made exquisite wands since 382 BC.

Andy pushed the door open and walked in.

"Mr. Ollivander, I've come to buy a wand."

The shop was small, with nothing but a counter and a bench, and thousands of long and narrow boxes filled the space.

Ollivander poked his head out from behind a shelf. His light-colored eyes looked bright and sharp. "Good morning, Mr. Collins. It seems you are finally old enough to go to school."

"Yeah, yeah!" Andy looked very proud.

Two years ago, Andy wanted to secretly buy a magic wand with the pocket money he had saved with great difficulty, but was rejected by the old man.

hateful!

"It's the right hand, right? Raise your arm." Ollivander obviously had a good memory.

Andy raised his right arm, and a tape measure automatically flew up, measuring Andy's whole body from top to bottom, inside and out.

"Each of Ollivander's wands has super magical properties, that's the essence of them. We make wands from different materials, as if no two wizards are exactly alike in the world, so every wand is unique. with a different personality."

At this point, Ollivander's tone suddenly became much more serious: "Remember, it is the wand that chooses the wizard."

"..."

Although Andy did not comment on this, he did not want to interfere in other people's professional fields.

"Try this one. It's pine wood, with a core made of phoenix feathers, thirteen and a half inches."

Andy took the wand.

For a moment, Andy seemed to feel that he and the magic wand had merged into one, and he could even feel that the magic wand in his hand was conveying an emotion called "excitement" to him.

Andy waved his wand.

The tip of the magic wand suddenly burst into a brilliant light, and the originally dark room seemed to become much brighter.

Chapter 6 There Are Few Honest People in the Magic World

"Very good, very good!"

Ollivander put the wand in the box and tied a delicate knot with the ribbon. "Pinewood usually chooses some independent wizards, and their unique personality may even be considered as isolation. The phoenix is ​​an independent and isolated creature..."

Having said that, Ollivander looked at Andy with a slightly different look.

“Many wandmakers insist that pine wands select witches and wizards who have lived long lives, and I agree with this – I have never met a pine wand owner who died young. The phoenix represents rebirth from the ashes.”

So, I can go wherever I want?

Andy was a little excited.

Ollivander continued, "The wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Collins. I believe you will achieve great things in the future. But you can make a few more friends at school."

"Then I will give you seven Galleons for your patronage."

"Thank you, Mr. Ollivander."

Andy took the wand box and handed Ollivander seven gold Galleons, but did not leave immediately.

Originally, Andy didn't believe in the idea of ​​wizards choosing wands, but this wand made of pine wood and phoenix tail feathers seemed to suit him particularly well.

I believe that any traveler who comes to the world of Harry Potter will pursue power and immortality. As for the love and friendship mentioned by Dumbledore - those things are enough, and it seems that there is no need to deliberately pursue them.

Well, if you meet a girl you like, you should take the initiative to pursue her. Andy is very experienced in this regard.

And independent...even isolated...

Andy knew himself very well. He was just an ordinary time traveler, and possessed all the characteristics of a time traveler. Independence and longevity - it must be said that this magic wand seemed to be specially prepared for him.

"Mr. Collins, is there anything else?" Seeing that Andy had not left, Ollivander asked curiously.

"Yes!"

Andy frowned and said, "Mr. Ollivander, you said that the wand chooses the wizard, but people's personalities are not static..."

Ollivander was not impatient, but explained patiently: "Of course, this situation is rare, but it does exist."

"In fact, every wand is just a semi-finished product. It will grow with the wizard who chooses it and gradually adapt to the wizard's personality and spellcasting habits. So even if the wizard's temperament suddenly changes, the wand will change with the wizard."

"Remember, the wand is a wizard's most trusted companion."

"Thank you!" Andy nodded to show that he understood.

Although Ollivander's explanation is a bit idealistic, this is how the wizarding world is, and it doesn't seem strange that wands have their own personalities.

"I'm also going to buy a wand care kit."

Andy decided to treat his wand like his girlfriend and try to make it fall in love with him as soon as possible.

Well...if you are a witch, you can treat your wand as your boyfriend.

Maybe a little thinner?

After buying the wand, Andy went to Madam Malkin's robe shop and bought three sets of Hogwarts uniforms.

The school uniform needs to be custom-made and will be sent to Andy's home three days later.

After buying his wand and Hogwarts uniform, Andy came to Florin's Ice Cream Shop, ordered a cup of ice cream, and ate it while waiting for Helen and Isabel.

Every time she comes to Diagon Alley, Isabel will never go back if she doesn't eat the ice cream from this shop.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Helen took Isabel's hand and walked into the cold drink shop. "I asked an owl to send the things home. Andy, you and Isabel wait here for a while. I have something to take care of."

"Got it, don't worry!" Andy said casually.

Except for those who are particularly honest, there are basically few honest people in the magical world.

We are all wizards who have mastered magical powers. It would be strange if we said that we have never done anything bad secretly.

Not to mention anything else, even a model student like Hermione had already become a bad student within a year of entering Hogwarts. From violating school rules to violating the law, it was not a big deal as long as they were not discovered.

Helen was a master of potions, so it didn't seem like a big deal for her to occasionally take orders for some forbidden potions.

Even if they were discovered by the Ministry of Magic, Kyle would help them with their interpersonal relationships. Not only that, they also had illegal door keys at home, so it would only take a moment to escape.

The pot of polyjuice potion that had been brewed a month and a half ago had already been delivered, and a large amount of gold galleons had been added to the family treasury.

To be honest, it is really abnormal in the wizarding world to be as poor as the Weasley family.

During the first few years of traveling through time, Andy thought that Muggle money and wizarding money could be exchanged at will.

After asking Helen, I found out that only young wizards in the Muggle world have a certain exchange quota every year.

Helen also felt sorry about this.

When she learned from her classmates that Muggle money could be exchanged for gold Galleons, she went out of her way to learn the Imperius Curse and the Oblivion Curse, but it turned out that Gringotts did not have this service at all.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Helen walked into the cold drink shop with a beaming face, "Andy, Isa, it's time to go home."

"But I haven't finished eating yet." Isabel said pitifully. She didn't want to go home so early.

"Let's eat at home. Mom has important things to do." Helen said without hesitation and pulled Isabel out of the cold drink shop.

Returning home through the fireplace, Andy looked at Helen and asked, "Do you need help?"

"Well...it's an advanced potion. I'm afraid you can't handle it."

"What is it this time?"

"Veritaserum!"

Well, Andy knows this stuff.

Veritaserum is not absolutely effective. There are many ways to ignore its effects, so it cannot be used in situations such as trials.

But if used in conjunction with the Cruciatus Curse, Veritaserum is very effective.

The person who bought this must be a dark wizard.

Helen went to make the potion, Isabel continued to eat the unfinished box of ice cream, and Andy took the wand out of the box when he saw that there was nothing to do.

"Andy, do you want to cast a spell?" Isabel looked at Andy curiously.

"I want to try it!"

Andy opened "The Standard Book of Spells: Elementary".

As a first-grade spell textbook, "Standard Spells: Elementary" only records nine simple spells. Moreover, just by listening to the names of these spells, you can tell that they are cheap stuff and do not seem to have any power at all.

But Andy was not disappointed at all.

The Charms class does only teach some basic magic. The real offensive spells or defensive spells are actually the content of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Quirrell is the big boss in the first film. Although his brain is not very good, it is impossible that he is a fake like the professor of the flying class, right?

After all, he has to disguise himself as a professor and wait for an opportunity to steal the Philosopher's Stone, so he has to act convincingly.

If he was really a fake, he would have been fired by Dumbledore, right?

Chapter 7 Am I the Snake Uncle in the Magic World?

With infinite longing for the future, Andy opened the book "Standard Spells: Elementary" with great anticipation.

"Lumos!"

Andy gently waved the wand according to the standard gesture described in the book and whispered the spell. The tip of the wand suddenly emitted a faint light.

"Is this the Luminescent Charm? It's surprisingly simple!"

The Luminescent Charm is the basis of all spells. The young wizard only needs to strictly follow the steps described in the book to cast the spell, and there is basically no possibility of spell failure.

Even if a little wizard has a brain like a troll, he can almost succeed by trying a few more times.

However, the description of the Luminescent Spell in the textbook is not just about gestures and spells.

The book's explanation of the Luminescent Charm is very comprehensive, covering the principles of magic, applicable occasions, and changes in magic after becoming proficient in it - including but not limited to throwing the Luminescent Charm.

In short, as a first-grade textbook, this book is undoubtedly qualified.

"Haha! Andy, you're done!"

Isabel suddenly laughed with glee and said, "I heard that young wizards can't cast spells outside of school. You will be expelled from Hogwarts soon."

"Let me think, Andy. You should be the first little wizard to be expelled from Hogwarts before entering school, right? Congratulations, you have made history."

The little girl rolled around on the sofa with joy.

"Idiot!" Andy complained, my sister with fish lips!

In order to prevent underage wizards from casting spells outside of school, the Ministry of Magic first established the "Law on Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards", and then set up "Tracking Thread" to monitor the casting of spells by underage wizards outside of school.

According to the Collins family's constant testing of the laws of the wizarding world for generations, the so-called 'trace' is naturally not a secret.

First of all, only the young wizards who enter Hogwarts to study will be monitored by Trace.

Andy has not yet officially enrolled.

Secondly, the function of 'Tracing Thread' is not perfect. It is a range monitoring, mainly targeting young wizards of Muggle origin, in order to prevent them from being exposed in the magic world.

As for young wizards who come from wizard families, as long as they are accompanied by adult wizards, the trace thread will completely lose its function.

Of course, if there are no adult wizards around, even if a young wizard from a wizard family casts spells outside, the Ministry of Magic will detect traces of the casting.

Without paying any more attention to Isabel, Andy silently turned on the system and waved his wand.

"Lumos!"

The amount of red liquid in the ball seemed to have increased a little compared to a month and a half ago, but Andy still hadn't figured out the principle behind the increase of red liquid.

Andy had a guess, but it was difficult to verify before.
