Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

Helen waved her hands, saying, "It's nothing but a drizzle." "Didn't I tell you that when we were in school, the You-Know-Who was at the peak of his power. It's nothing like you are now, with no pressure at all."

Andy was still a little shocked.

That's true, but Snape's talent in magic is also amazing.

Not everyone can invent new magic on their own while still in school.

As far as Andy knows, only Dumbledore and Snape have unlocked this achievement.

only…

How did Snape become like this now?

He just wants to make things difficult for Harry all day long, and he seems to enjoy it, as if he is determined to fight for it his whole life.

Andy's mouth twitched, but he didn't think about it anymore.

"Then I'll start!"

Andy drew out his wand and started with his most powerful area magic - the Fire Spell.

"The flames are blazing!"

The flames condensed into a fire eagle and flew towards Helen. Helen also just waved her wand and easily extinguished Andy's fire spell.

"Collapse!"

"Split into pieces!"

Andy cast spells continuously, but they were all easily knocked away by Helen's magic wand. She just stood there casually, which put Andy under great pressure.

It’s indeed different!

Andy could feel that Helen's magic level was more than one level higher than his own.

Really strong!

Moreover, Helen rarely practices magic, and her current spellcasting level is at most slightly better than when she graduated.

Or it could be said that since the fall of Voldemort, ordinary wizards in the wizarding world have stopped practicing magic.

However, even an adult wizard like Helen, who had not practiced magic for nearly ten years, could still overwhelm Andy - she didn't even attack, just standing there, which made Andy feel like he had no idea where to start.

"call--"

Andy gasped.

While casting the spell, Andy kept moving his position.

Seeing that the angle was right, Andy wanted to try the same trick again.

"The stake is flying!"

Under the effect of magic, the wooden stake hit Helen's back hard.

But Helen just moved slightly and easily avoided the attack of the wooden stake.

As Helen waved her wand, the wooden stake suddenly sped up and headed straight towards Andy.

"Shattered to pieces!"

boom! ! !

There was an explosion, and the wooden stakes exploded.

"Okay, stop first!" Helen said suddenly.

"Ok?"

Andy was stunned. "I still have a trick that I haven't used yet. Why did you suddenly stop?"

Helen: "..."

What the hell is your secret weapon? If you had one, you would have used it long ago.

Just like your grandfather, he is too concerned about his reputation.

"Andy, you focus too much on the technique of casting spells."

Helen said: "In a wizard battle, spellcasting skills are important, but the suddenness of spellcasting is also important."

"Your current magic level only looks good, well... it's very entertaining, but it's still far from the requirements for actual combat."

After hearing Helen's comments, Andy was not discouraged. After all, Andy had only been learning magic for less than half a year, and it was already very good to have such a level of spellcasting.

Helen continued, "Conventional spells are actually pretty easy to resist, so...sometimes we just need a little trick."

As she spoke, Helen raised her wand and pointed it at Andy.

"Collapse!"

Andy concentrated and calmed himself, trying to deflect the spell like Helen did, but he found that the magic beam was directed at his feet.

And just at the moment when Andy lowered his head, another beam of magic light hit him, and Andy found himself hanging upside down in the air by Helen again.

"Do you understand?"

Helen waved her wand to put Andy down and said, "We are just practicing. You know, there are some dark magics that even the Armor Charm cannot resist."

"So in our era, students would pay more attention to the actual combat of magic, and we Gryffindors would often get together to practice dueling."

Andy nodded. "I roughly understand."

This is the gap in combat experience!

And just like Helen said, conventional magic is too easy to resist. The Shield Charm can defend against most spells, and some wizards with fast reaction speed can even use their wands to deflect spells.

Andy suddenly felt a little envious of Harry.

Harry is one of those wizards with excellent reaction speed and eyesight, just look at his performance on the court.

No wonder he is the protagonist!

With Harry's reaction speed and eyesight, with a little training, he would soon become a duel master.

"So how should I practice now?" Andy asked.

"Practice now the same way you practiced before."

Helen took back her wand. "Unless you want to participate in dueling competitions, or become an Auror after graduation, there is no need to practice these deliberately."

"Aurors have special training to use the Killing Curse when they encounter an enemy in private."

"If you lay a good foundation, it will be easy to learn these things later!"

Chapter 63 The Collins family has a tradition

Andy discovered that Helen had really become a bad person.

As a Gryffindor, she should have become a hero like Harry's parents, silently guarding the peace of the wizarding world.

But she chose to marry Andy's father, Kyle Collins.

The Collins family has a tradition, being mean!

For example, Andy's grandfather, Norman Collins.

Even though he is fat now and can't even beat Andy, when he was young, he smuggled a lot of illegal items through Muggle channels.

For example, Andy's father.

Although Kyle is just an ordinary employee of the Ministry of Magic, he uses connections when necessary and embezzles more than anyone else when necessary.

Take Andy for example.

Well...Andy always thought he was a good boy, a mature and reliable little wizard.

Maybe Andy didn't carry on the family tradition.

Andy didn't know what Helen was like before, but the Helen now - if she returned to Hogwarts for sorting, maybe the Sorting Hat would put her in Azkaban.

This is not the first or second time that Helen has brewed some illegal potions and sold them. She asked Andy to use the Killing Curse when he encountered enemies in private, and maybe she had done so herself.

He is a ruthless character!

"Got it!" Andy made an OK gesture.

"Mom, can you teach me the Killing Curse?" Andy really wanted to learn this magic.

Regardless of whether black magic is evil or not, from the perspective of fighting the enemy, the Killing Curse is really useful.

"you?"

Helen rubbed Andy's head and said, "Don't even think about it! Just practice your magic by yourself. I'm going back to the house to prepare lunch."

Andy was a little disappointed.

It seemed that Helen practiced magic with Andy for a while, but in fact Andy didn't learn much.

This is the norm in the wizarding world.

Not to mention an ordinary wizard family like the Collins, even a pure-blood family like the Malfoys that has been passed down for thousands of years would not demand too much from their offspring in terms of strength.

This is caused by the overall environment.

Andy estimated that perhaps only when Voldemort was resurrected, those free-spirited wizards would truly focus on their strength!

Without giving it any more thought, Andy continued to practice magic.

Helen’s comment was very correct. Andy’s current magic level only looks good, but it is still a long way from being practical.

Well...it's a bit like the difference between freestyle basketball and the NBA.

The reason for this is, on the one hand, due to combat experience, and on the other hand, because Andy has not yet trained in this direction.

Just like Helen said, as long as you lay a solid foundation, it will be easy to learn those things in the future.

The Killing Curse can kill people, and the Shattering Curse can also kill people.

As long as you can hit the enemy.

……

Christmas.

Andy had already mailed his gift in advance.

The gift for Harry was a few photos, and the gifts for his roommate, Ron, and some friends who were easy to talk to were a greeting card and a bag of candy.

As a little wizard, it’s good enough to have these.

As for the gift for Hermione, Andy prepared it carefully. It was a collection of legends from the wizarding world.

The little witch is a know-it-all, and Andy also hopes that she can find clues to those legends in other magic books.

In addition, Andy also prepared gifts for the professors.

It is not popular in the magic world to give red envelopes to teachers. Christmas gifts are Andy's only chance to show off, so Andy put a lot of thought into it.

With the exception of Professor Snape, all the gifts given to the other professors were scarves - only the style varied.

The weather is cold, so put on more clothes. This shows a student’s concern for the teacher.

As for Professor Snape, Andy gave him a bottle of shampoo and a greeting card.

This was Andy's decision after much thought.

Andy also wrote his own blessing on the greeting card: I hope you can cheer up, don’t waste your time, and start a new life with a smile.

In short, Andy hopes that Professor Snape can take good care of himself. He is still young and has a bright future. He should not give up the pursuit of a better life in the future just because of a tragic past.

Snape was a magical genius who could create his own spells when he was a student. Andy felt sorry for him when he saw him fall into what he is now.

In the bedroom, Andy was sitting on the bed wrapped in a quilt, and Isabel was busy helping Andy open his gifts.

The little girl doesn’t have many friends, and her Christmas gifts are all given to her by her relatives, which are nothing more than some snacks, clothes, and toys.

Nothing new.

After opening her own gift, the little girl set her sights on Andy.

"Andy, you don't like candy, do you?" Isabel asked casually as she put the candy in her pocket.

"I like it, who said I don't like it?"

Andy yawned and said, "Isa, if you hide my presents, I'll hide all your snacks."
