Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

What they lack is knowledge, insight, and common sense.

This cannot be compensated by studying alone.

Chapter 118 Brainwashing Can't Stop

Sure enough, until Dumbledore finished his speech, he didn't add a single point to Gryffindor.

Andy suddenly thought of the night when Quirrell was killed.

That was the night that Harry and Ron were caught out at night, and Gryffindor was deducted forty points again.

"Um…?"

Was it Dumbledore's order?

Andy suddenly realized that something was wrong. That night, Harry and Ron actually had the opportunity to face Voldemort directly.

Did Dumbledore order Snape to stop them?

"Did Dumbledore change his plans?"

Andy suddenly thought: "Maybe Dumbledore has also realized that it is difficult for Harry and Ron to accomplish anything great with just the two of them."

In this case, a change of plan is imperative!

"I just don't know what Dumbledore is thinking."

Andy frowned slightly.

Noticing Andy's gaze, Dumbledore smiled and winked at Andy.

Andy just felt a chill on his back.

After a year of getting along, Andy can be said to have thoroughly understood Dumbledore's methods.

Dumbledore rarely plotted against others directly; he always took advantage of those who were willing to take the bait.

Those who are willing to help Dumbledore are probably doing so 'voluntarily'.

He will only put things in front of you, and then you will get things done properly due to many factors such as your personality, hobbies, sense of justice, etc.

It's an old silver coin.

When the speech ended, the auditorium suddenly became noisy.

Tomorrow is summer vacation and everyone is talking about their summer vacation plans.

"Andy, are you coming to my house during the summer vacation? Michael and Anthony will be here." Andy's roommate Terry asked.

"Okay! When?" Andy didn't refuse.

After all, he still has to live with roommates for six years, and Andy generally will not miss such necessary social activities unless it is too troublesome.

"August, maybe!"

Terry said, "I'll write you a letter then."

"That's a deal!" Andy said with a smile.

Anthony suddenly came over and said, "Andy, I heard that you are going to visit Hermione's house during the summer vacation? Are you going to meet her parents?"

At the end, Anthony still looked at Andy with an ambiguous expression.

"Who told you that?" Andy looked confused.

Michael teased, "A lot of people heard you and Hermione's discussion."

Kaka!

Andy turned his head stiffly.

The little witch was pretending to talk to someone, but just by looking at her red little ears, you could tell that she also heard what Anthony and Michael said.

Andy: "..."

"I just want to take my sister to the Muggle amusement park." Andy said helplessly.

After dealing with the other three people in the dormitory, Andy breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little tired.

If Hermione wasn't here, Andy would have admitted it generously.

It's a pity that Hermione was there too. If Andy dared to admit it, he might have to spend the night in the school infirmary.

"Do you have any plans to travel during the holidays?" Hermione asked.

"Maybe I'll take a walk around the area, how about you?" Andy said while eating.

"Well...I won't know until I get home."

The little witch said excitedly: "But I want to go abroad to see the magic world in other countries, especially."

……

The dinner is over.

The next morning, just like when they came, the first-year wizards were led by Hagrid to Hogsmeade Railway Station to catch the train.

"Have the people behind us caught up? We need to hurry, the train is about to leave."

At the front, the tall Hagrid was shouting at a group of little wizards who were not even as tall as his thighs, and his voice was as loud as thunder.

At Hogsmeade Station, Andy saw the old steam train from afar. The body of the train was painted beautiful red, and thick steam was coming out of the exhaust pipe at the front of the train.

Following the crowd onto the train, Andy took Hermione to an empty carriage.

The compartment was quite large, and Andy and Hermione's roommate was originally going to sit there, but when he saw the two of them together, he tactfully asked to find another compartment.

Hermione rolled her eyes at Andy when she saw this. Andy shrugged and smiled smugly.

Andy took out his magic wand and waved it gently at the car door, temporarily locking it.

"Isn't this a bit embarrassing?" Hermione said a little embarrassedly.

"Please squeeze in, there's enough space." Andy said indifferently.

The little witch snorted and took out a book to read.

Andy waved the wand again, and a silver-white kitten flew out from the tip of the wand.

This is Andy's patronus.

"Are you still practicing the Patronus Charm?" Hermione asked, looking up.

Hermione also learned this spell, but she could only create a cloud of white mist and was unable to condense her own Patronus.

After learning that this spell could only be used to expel Dementors, Hermione temporarily gave up this magic.

"It's not practice, well... I want to improve this magic." Andy explained.

"Improving the Patronus Charm?"

Hermione looked at Andy in surprise, "This is not an easy thing to do."

Improving a magic and creating a new magic are about the same difficulty.

In some ways, improving magic is even more difficult.

To create a spell, one needs not only extensive magical attainments, but also a certain amount of inspiration and talent.

And improving a magic...

You have to know that the magic world has developed for thousands of years, and the magic system is already very complete. Many spells have been refined and perfected by spell masters of successive generations.

There is simply not much room for improvement.

"Do you know Obscurus?" Andy asked.

Andy was ready to have a serious conversation with Hermione.

It was a heart-to-heart talk for Hermione to agree with his ideas, but it was also a brainwashing to guide the little witch subtly.

"I read it in a book."

As long as they talked about knowledge, the little witch wasn't sleepy at all. "The Obscurus is a dark magical force. When a wizard child is abused physically and mentally, they will experience extreme emotional pain, thus creating a dark magical parasitic force called 'Obscura'."

"If I were a professor, I would definitely give you ten points," Andy said with a smile.

Hermione rolled her eyes at Andy.

Andy continued, "What about the Patronus Charm?"

"The Patronus Charm is one of the oldest and most powerful defensive magics in the magic world. When casting the spell, you need to concentrate and think about happy things. The Patronus Charm is extremely difficult, and only a very small number of wizards can summon their own Patronus..."

Hermione was worthy of being the famous Miss Know-It-All. After Andy only gave her a few pointers, she immediately understood what Andy meant.

"You're saying that the Patronus Charm and the Obscurus are two completely opposite kinds of magic?" Hermione exclaimed.

"I have plenty of evidence to prove it!"

Andy said seriously: "The Patronus Charm is indeed a very ancient magic. I think the Patronus Charm was invented by ancient wizards based on the Obscurus. It is a completely opposite magic."

Chapter 119 Finally got some clues

Listening to Andy giving examples of the similarities between the Patronus Charm and the Obscurus, Hermione's little head followed suit little by little: What you said makes a lot of sense.

"And Headmaster Dumbledore's Patronus."

Andy said seriously, "Normal Patronuses are silver-white and are ordinary animals. But Headmaster Dumbledore's Patronus is a blue-colored phoenix."

"Magical creatures?" Hermione looked surprised.

Andy nodded. "Principal Dumbledore's special patronus is no secret in the wizarding world. Haven't we seen the papers published by Principal Dumbledore when he was young? He studied the Obscurus when he was young."

"So where do you plan to start your research?"

Hermione also became interested after hearing this, "To cast the Patronus Charm, you need to recall happy memories... You can try to start from the emotional aspect."

Andy shrugged and said helplessly, "I tried it, and it doesn't work. If it were that simple, the Patronus Charm wouldn't be like this now."

"You have a point." Hermione nodded.

If using different emotions to cast the Patronus Charm could cause the Patronus to mutate, the Patronus Charm would have been perfected by the predecessors of the magic world long ago.

Hermione thought for a long time, and pulled her hair in distress, "What should I do?"

Andy waved his wand, and the cat patronus flew in front of Hermione and rolled its fat body. "We can only try slowly."

"so cute!"

Hermione stared at the silver-white fat cat in front of her, and said with a longing tone: "I don't know what animal my patronus will be."

Andy glanced up at Hermione, "Maybe it's the rabbit... Ouch!"

Hermione stepped on Andy's foot in annoyance. Just when she was about to say something, she seemed to have thought of something. She just pursed her lips and said nothing, staring at Andy fiercely.

"It's not like I haven't seen it before."

Andy rubbed the little witch's head and said, "It's quite cute."

Hermione angrily slapped Andy's hand away, gave him a cold look, then picked up the book to cover her face and pretended nothing had happened.

"Hello, Hermione?" Andy continued to chat.

"Don't bother me, I'm reading." Hermione said without raising her head.

Andy flicked his wand, and the fat cat Patronus passed through the book and appeared in front of Hermione.

Hermione: "..."

"If you have nothing to do, read a book by yourself."

Hermione glared at Andy and said, "If all else fails, just practice some magic."

Okay, I'm pissed.

"I'm not preparing for practice."

Andy decisively changed the subject, "Hermione, how do you think Headmaster Dumbledore achieved his Patronus?"

"Phoenix?"

Hermione thought about it and shook her head: "I don't know either...but I guess there's a place where I might be able to find the answer."

"Restricted Book Zone!"
