Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

……

Principal room.

Compared to the relaxed atmosphere of the Ravenclaw Library, the atmosphere in the headmaster's office is much more solemn.

Sitting on the chair, Dumbledore casually threw the letter sent by Fudge on the table.

Although Fudge insisted in the letter that he believed the fact that Quirrell was a dark wizard, his words revealed his disapproval.

And Fudge refused to publish Quirrell's evidence in the newspaper.

It has been nearly a year since the attack on Gringotts, and the people in the wizarding world have finally forgotten about it. How could Fudge help them remember it again?

Moreover, there have been three attacks at Hogwarts this semester. As long as the evidence of Quirrell's crimes is not made public, Dumbledore's prestige can be undermined.

For Fudge, this is all that matters.

As for Quirrell...even if he really was a dark wizard, he was dead after all.

Since you're dead, just die!

Snape glanced at the contents of the letter and sneered disdainfully.

This Minister of Magic, who was pushed to the position by Dumbledore, also began to drift further and further away from Dumbledore.

"Do you regret it?" Snape asked.

Dumbledore did not answer.

Snape didn't care when he saw this. He didn't care about Fudge's attitude in the first place.

If it weren't for Lily, he would still be a Death Eater.

After a long while, Dumbledore said, "Voldemort should have gone to the forest in Albania?"

Snape was shocked. "You found out his whereabouts so quickly?"

This is too fast. Quirrell has only been dead for a few days.

"That's the only place he can go now." Dumbledore looked up at Snape and spoke slowly.

Snape: "..."

Did you guess?

"He probably won't contact me while I'm at school," Snape said calmly.

Dumbledore remained silent upon hearing this.

Although Snape guessed that Voldemort would prefer him to stay with Dumbledore, it was just a guess after all.

Once Voldemort asked Snape to help him resurrect, Snape had only two choices: to help or to betray.

Help is impossible, but betrayal... Once Voldemort is resurrected, Dumbledore will lose an important spy.

More importantly, Harry didn't get any training at all during the Quirrell incident.

Just looking at Harry's current level, he doesn't look like he has the ability to save the wizarding world.

Be it his magical attainments, knowledge, strategies, or personal character, there is nothing to recommend him in Harry.

The only courage and justice worthy of praise only make him look more like a reckless man.

Especially since Harry's reputation hasn't been very good lately.

If Dumbledore hadn't suppressed the night exploration of the Forbidden Forest, Harry and Ron could have combined to deduct more than 200 points from Gryffindor.

Without fame, you won’t get recognition. Without recognition, others won’t help you.

Dumbledore knew very well that when facing Voldemort, "hope" in people's hearts was very important.

Once hope is gone, most ordinary wizards will lose the courage to resist.

These things weighed on Dumbledore's mind, bringing great pressure to the centenarian.

"Are you sure?" Dumbledore looked at Snape.

Snape knew what Dumbledore meant.

"I'm very confident."

Snape said expressionlessly, "Besides...it would be difficult for him to find me unless he stayed in England."

Chapter 108 Dumbledore’s plan

In fact, it is no wonder that Dumbledore is so cautious. There are simply too few people who can really do things in the wizarding world today.

What Dumbledore is most worried about now is that when he is old, no one in the British wizarding world will be able to fight against Voldemort.

Most wizards live long lives, but in ten years at most, even if Dumbledore holds the Elder Wand, it will be difficult for him to compete with Voldemort.

After all, combat tests not only magical proficiency, but also reaction ability and the sense of timing.

Dumbledore was not too optimistic when he heard Snape say that Voldemort would not take the initiative to find him.

"how about you?"

Dumbledore said: "Since you intend to gain Voldemort's trust, you must go to the Albanian forest to meet him."

Snape's expression remained unchanged. "I'll adapt to the situation."

At this point, Snape looked at Dumbledore and said in a serious tone, "Since the Philosopher's Stone is in your hands..."

Before Snape could finish speaking, Dumbledore raised his hand to stop Snape from saying anything else.

"The Philosopher's Stone is not omnipotent. It cannot prevent the aging of the body." Dumbledore had met Nicolas Flamel, who was so old that even shaking hands would break his bones.

Dumbledore didn't want to live like Nicolas Flamel.

Nicolas Flamel at least had a wife, but Dumbledore was alone, without even a spiritual support in the world.

He didn't live enough, but he was not afraid of death.

Everything is fine.

The only person Dumbledore is worried about now is actually Voldemort.

It was he who led them into the wizarding world, it was he who taught them, and it was always he who had to solve the troubles caused by Voldemort.

"Is there no other way?" Snape's eyes were a little complicated.

After some things that happened this year, he had already seen Dumbledore's plans and also saw Dumbledore's concerns.

Before finding out the secret of Voldemort's immortality, Dumbledore could not kill Voldemort, nor could he deal with Voldemort in his wandering spirit state.

But Voldemort will always be resurrected.

If he fails this time, there will be next time, and the next time. He won’t fail forever.

According to the prophecy, Harry Potter is the enemy marked by Voldemort himself, and he also possesses a power that Voldemort does not understand, which is Lily's love for her son.

That's why Dumbledore placed his hopes on Harry Potter.

But Harry...

Some people look at people through filters, while others look at people through tinted glasses.

In Snape's eyes, Harry was stupid and arrogant, even worse than his father - James Potter was also stupid and arrogant in Snape's eyes, and he had no ability.

This is also the fundamental reason why Snape decided to go undercover beside Voldemort.

He always had to protect Lily's son.

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, "Harry is the only hope."

"You promised me before." Snape was a little angry. This was different from what they had agreed before.

“I can still hold on for a few more years.”

Dumbledore looked a little tired, "Severus, keep an eye on Malfoy during the holidays."

Snape looked confused, "Draco? What happened to him?"

"It's Lucius Malfoy."

Dumbledore said slowly, "I still have some influence with Fudge, and Arthur works for the Misuse of Muggle Objects Bureau. During the summer vacation, I will ask the Ministry of Magic to search for dark magic items and Muggle items that have been illegally modified."

Snape frowned slightly. What was this old man going to do?

"I have mastered some of the secrets of Voldemort's immortality."

Dumbledore said slowly: "It's just that I still need some evidence now."

"Do you think the evidence is in Lucius's hands?" Snape asked in a serious tone.

"I hope it's in his hands, too."

Dumbledore said, "The Ministry of Magic probably won't be able to find anything, so I can only rely on you."

Snape nodded. "I'll keep an eye on him. But...what exactly is the evidence you're talking about?"

"I don't know either." Dumbledore shook his head slowly.

There are many ways in the wizarding world to prevent death, and the Hogwarts library records nearly ten methods.

Horcruxes are just one of them.

The reason why Dumbledore suspected that Voldemort had made the Horcruxes was because the method of making the Horcruxes was recorded in the book "Advanced Dark Magic Revealed".

Voldemort is a dark wizard. If he wants to prevent death, he naturally has to use the most advanced dark magic.

Snape's face darkened.

What do you mean you don’t know either?

You don't know, and yet you ask me to find it, are you sick?

"I just doubt..."

Dumbledore explained: "It could be anything, but it must be a dark magic item."

After thinking for a while, Dumbledore added, "That thing may also have the effect of bewitching people."

Snape looked a little better.

As long as there are clues.

"I've been keeping an eye on Quirrell all this time. How is Collins doing lately?" After talking about Voldemort's big affairs, Dumbledore turned his attention to the next student who might have the potential to become a bad student.

Dumbledore had heard that Andy was someone who dared to read books on dark magic in the headmaster's office.

That's so unscrupulous.

Voldemort at least had some scruples when he was a student, but Andy didn't even have those scruples.

After all, Hogwarts would not expel students for learning the dark arts, and reading banned books would only result in deduction of points and imprisonment.

These punishments were not painful at all for Andy (not really).

Snape looked unhappy when he heard this, "How should I know?"

Snape didn't want to see Andy ever since Andy planned to introduce his aunt to Snape.

And Snape suspected that Andy already knew what happened when he was in school. At this moment, Snape really wished he was still a Death Eater.

Learn about Oblivion and the Cruciatus Curse.

"The last time he came to my office, he secretly...read the book "Advanced Dark Magic Revealed"." Dumbledore wanted to say "peeked", but Andy was clearly reading it openly.

That book actually records a lot of sophisticated black magic.

Snape also turned serious when he heard this. "How much did he read?"

"Only for a moment."

Dumbledore said: "Collins probably only read one chapter. He had enough self-control and put the book back in the end."

"Then what are you worried about?" Snape asked.

Dumbledore briefly recounted the conversation that took place in the headmaster's office that day.

Andy did have some self-control, but he put the book back in order to deal with Dumbledore.

You see, I know this book will teach me bad things, so I won't read it.

"If the prophecy came true for Collins, you wouldn't be so troubled, right?" Snape didn't care about Andy learning the dark arts. What was wrong with learning the dark arts? He had learned it too.
