Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

"Tea will do," said Andy.

Mrs. Bagshot made two cups of tea and placed one in front of Andy. "It's really hard for you, little guy, to come visit me, an old man, during the holidays."

"You are a senior in the magic world and the greatest magic historian of this century."

Andy complimented, "It's my honor to ask you for advice."

Mrs. Bagshot waved her hand. "When I was young, I was just like you. I was curious about those ancient rumors, so I learned more about them."

"I don't even know if the history I know is real history."

Andy didn't know what to say about this.

There is nothing new under the sun. History is written by the victors everywhere.

“It is actually a kind of fun to find the truth from history that you don’t know whether it is true or not.”

Andy smiled and said, "Even if it's fake, it's still a treasure for us."

Mrs. Bagshot did not comment, but simply asked, "Little guy, what do you want to know this time?"

Andy was not embarrassed at all. Hearing this, he confessed directly: "Ma'am, I want to know about Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."

“A secret room…!”

Mrs. Bagshot was in a trance for a moment, and then she said, "Some people say that Slytherin left a monster in the Chamber of Secrets in order to eliminate those who he thought were unworthy of learning magic."

Andy listened carefully.

Mrs. Bagshot continued, "Just sixty years ago, the Chamber of Secrets was opened. It caused a lot of uproar at the time. A student died at Hogwarts because of it, and Principal Dippet resigned because of it."

"It is said that Hogwarts caught a suspect at the time, but because of Dumbledore's guarantee, the Ministry of Magic only broke his wand."

They actually caught the suspect?

Andy was surprised and asked, "Who is the suspect?"

"Rubeau Hagrid!" said Mrs. Bagshot.

Andy: "..."

Hagrid opened Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?

If this were true, Slytherin would probably be so angry that he would crawl out of his coffin.

"Ma'am, what do you think?" Andy asked curiously.

"Me...?"

Mrs. Bagshot glanced at Andy and said calmly, "That's nonsense, of course."

Andy nodded. "I think so too. Madam, what is the truth?"

Mrs. Bagshot looked at Andy, "Little Collins, are you curious about Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?"

"Yes!" Andy said seriously.

Mrs. Bagshot thought for a moment and continued, "Many people have forgotten that name, Tom Riddle, he is the mysterious man."

"It was Voldemort who opened the Chamber of Secrets!" Andy blurted out.

Mrs. Bagshot looked at Andy in surprise, "Little Collins, how dare you call him by his name?"

Having said that, Mrs. Bagshot was not as startled as the others.

After all, she is the great-aunt of the first Dark Lord Grindelwald. The old lady may not have much power, but she must have seen a lot of big scenes.

Andy shrugged and didn't dwell on the question.

Mrs. Bagshot obviously didn't care. She continued, "I don't know where Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets is hidden, but his purpose in building the Chamber of Secrets should be just to study the mysteries of magic with like-minded companions."

"As for eliminating those who are unworthy of learning magic..."

"I've researched it, and it was a rumor that came out a long time ago."

Andy nodded.

What Mrs. Bagshot said was similar to what Andy had known before.

"If Voldemort had entered the Chamber of Secrets, he would have obtained Slytherin's research materials."

Andy's face looked a little ugly.

Chapter 144: First is Chapter : Not Minister of Magic, but Chosen

Choose to rebel?

Voldemort actually dared to snatch things from me. I will kill him sooner or later!

Andy had some guesses about Slytherin's research direction. If nothing unexpected happened, Slytherin was studying magical transfiguration.

In fact, much of wizarding magic is learned from magical animals.

There is also a saying that although wizards possess magical powers, they themselves are not magical creatures and are fundamentally different from those magical animals.

Andy was somewhat yearning for magical transformation, but at the same time he was also a little hesitant and fearful.

Between great strength and handsome looks, Andy would rather choose the latter.

Being handsome is a lifelong thing.

It’s not that Andy doesn’t desire power, but that Andy has a trick.

Andy had read a lot of novels in his previous life. In the ranking of the children of destiny, those who traveled through time by system were greater than those who traveled through time by chance, greater than those who traveled through time knowing the plot, greater than those who were reborn, and greater than the natives of this world.

Although Andy's system is not particularly powerful, it is still several levels higher than the natives of this world.

So Andy doesn't have to sacrifice his looks.

However, having said that, Andy was also very eager for Slytherin's research materials.

With Slytherin's information, Andy can officially study magical transfiguration.

"Thank you, Mrs. Bagshot," Andy said gratefully.

Mrs. Bagshot didn't say much, and most of it was what Andy had known before. But with this information, Andy had a general understanding of Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

Especially something that happened sixty years ago.

"Madam, how much do you know about Voldemort?" Andy continued to ask.

Mrs. Bagshot said slowly: "He was a very good little wizard when he was a student. After graduation, many people thought that he would soon become the Minister of Magic."

"But he did not join the Ministry of Magic after graduation. Instead, he chose to work in a small alchemy shop. At the time, many people felt sorry for this."

Andy has so much to complain about.

Instead of being Minister of Magic, he chose to rebel?

Are you bored because you have eaten too much?

Andy thought about it. Voldemort was a Slytherin graduate. He had a deep friendship with those pure-blood families and was even their respected leader.

Under these circumstances, it is not impossible that Voldemort could have been Minister of Magic.

But I chose to rebel!

Mrs. Bagshot continued, "After working there for a few years, he left the British wizarding world and traveled around. When he came back, he was no longer recognizable."

Andy had heard about this from Dumbledore.

"After returning, he went to Hogwarts to apply for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, but Dumbledore rejected him."

Mrs. Bagshot said: "Since then, he has been acting in the name of Voldemort and has won over many people. Those people are the original Death Eaters."

Mrs. Bagshot seemed somewhat disdainful of this.

"After he used those pure-blood families to gain power, he began to use half-blood wizards and those dark creatures."

Mrs. Bagshot continued, "But by that time, those pure-blood families were already dependent on Voldemort's power."

Andy nodded in understanding.

You're on Voldemort's pirate ship and you still want to get off?

Not to mention Voldemort's own strength and character, the situation at the time did not allow them to withdraw.

Andy calculated the time.

Voldemort reached the peak of his power after 1970, when he was already in his forties.

Voldemort was probably in his fifties when he was killed by the rebound of the Killing Curse.

This is too sad!

He achieved nothing in the first half of his life, and his nemesis in the second half of his life was a middle school student.

Is this the style of a villain boss?

It was hard for Andy to imagine the scene of Voldemort meeting with the Death Eaters after his resurrection.

Death Eater: We want to control the Minister of Magic and seize power from the Ministry of Magic.

Voldemort: I will kill Harry Potter myself!

Death Eater: We need to kill Dumbledore so that no one can stand in the way of our Master's cause.

Voldemort: I will kill Harry Potter myself.

Andy was speechless.

This is the most unimpressive villain Andy has ever seen, perhaps only slightly better than the villains in novels about house fighting and palace fighting.

At the age of fifty, Zhen Huan became the empress dowager.

"Thank you, ma'am, I understand." Andy said gratefully again.

Mrs. Bagshot said calmly, "It is not without reason that Voldemort is known as the most powerful dark wizard in history. He has gone further on the path of dark magic than anyone else."

"And, of course, Gellert Grindelwald."

When talking about Grindelwald, Mrs. Bagshot's expression was very calm, as if she was talking about an irrelevant person.

Ever?

Andy noticed the word.

"Voldemort shouldn't be as powerful as Dumbledore, right?" Andy asked puzzledly.

According to Andy, even when Voldemort was at the height of his power, he never harmed a single Hogwarts student.

This was obviously out of fear of Dumbledore.

Or perhaps, this is an unspoken understanding between the two.

Dumbledore allowed Voldemort to grow in power, and Voldemort did not harm the students of Hogwarts.

The old principal also had a difficult time in this matter.

Mrs. Bagshot shook her head, but this time she did not explain Andy's doubts. Instead, she said something else, "If you want to find Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, you'd better be fully prepared."

"It's rare for someone to come visit an old man like me these years. I don't want to hear the news that you died in Hogwarts."

"I will." Andy nodded.

No one cares about his life more than Andy.

If Andy hadn't been afraid of death, he would have teamed up with Harry to kill Quirrell last semester.

After all, this is what Dumbledore expected.

He also offered a price. As long as Andy helped Harry, he would answer Andy's questions about magic in private.

But Andy refused.

Before he became powerful, Andy would never offend Voldemort, not only for himself but also for his family.

It's not wrong to be cautious.

After chatting with Mrs. Bagshot for a while, Andy got up and said goodbye.

Walking along the path in Godric's Hollow, Andy was digesting what Mrs. Bagshot had said.

Mrs. Bagshot said little, and her explanation was very general, leaving many secret matters unexplained.

But for Andy, this is enough.
