The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific

Chapter 188 Lockhart: No one knows the restricted area better than me
"Is it here?"

Hermione blinked, "What's that box for? How do I practice?"

Andy had already guessed, "There might be a Dementor or a Voldemort Bat in the box. After all, the basic function of the Patronus Charm is to expel them."

"Hmm... Maybe it's Voldebat! After all, dementors are a specialty of Azkaban."

"Okay!" Hermione drew out her wand.

Andy also took out his wand and said, "Hermione, are you ready? I'm going to open the box. Remember, remember the happiest things."

Seeing Hermione nodding, Andy picked up the wand lightly.

Click!

The box was opened and a dementor came out of it.

It was wearing a cloak, and its whole body seemed to be soaked in water, with scabbed palms, and its whole body was a little rotten.

The face under the cloak had no facial features, and where the mouth should have been, there was a terrible hollow.

Really against humanity!
This is also the first time Andy has seen a dementor. To be honest...it's pretty average.

Although it looked a little disgusting, when it appeared, it was not as scary as described in the book.

At least it had a limited effect on Andy.

Hermione was obviously stunned, she stood there in a daze, as if she had forgotten what she should do.

"Hermione, don't be afraid! I'm here." Andy held Hermione's other hand.

Hermione came to her senses, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to raise the wand in her hand.

"Guard!" Hermione shouted.

White smoke continued to spray out from the tip of the wand, forming a white shield wall between Hermione and the dementors. The dementors hit it and were unable to move forward.

"Push it back into the box," Andy reminded.

Hermione nodded, holding her wand in her hand, and bit by bit pushed the dementor back into the box.

"call--"

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, "Is this a Dementor? It's a bit...it doesn't seem that scary!"

Andy pondered for a moment, "Maybe...what's the name of that one? It's the one that can turn into the thing we fear most..."

"Boggart!"

Hermione rolled her eyes, she was such a scumbag, "A Boggart is a magical creature that changes shape. It can see into your heart and turn into the thing you fear most."

"Yes, it's a Boggart!"

Andy's face showed the confidence of a "student god", "The spell to expel Boggarts is ridiculous. The more people there are, the easier it is to deal with Boggarts, because it doesn't know what to turn into."

"Also, the way to kill a Boggart is to laugh."

It doesn't matter if I forget its name, but I know its capabilities and how to deal with it.

Even if it changed its appearance, I still recognized it at a glance!

I know him even if he wears a vest.

This is enough!

Hermione rolled her eyes again.

Although Andy and Hermione both love learning, their attitudes towards learning are quite different.

Andy seeks power.

Hermione pursues omniscience and omnipotence.

"But……"

Hermione asked with some confusion: "The thing I'm most afraid of is not Dementors. Why did the Boggart turn into a Dementor?"

Andy reminded: "Don't forget, the Room of Requirement can detect our thoughts, which should be the ability of Legilimency. In contrast, it seems nothing strange that the Room of Requirement can affect Boggarts."

Hermione nodded, "You're right, shall we continue practicing?"

two hours later.

In the white smoke, the image of an otter slowly condensed into shape.

"puff--"

Andy couldn't hold it back and almost laughed.

Well, otters are quite cute, but... Andy always thought that Hermione's patronus would be a rabbit.

After all, the little witch's front teeth are still very conspicuous.

"I did it!" Hermione exclaimed.

Although I am a little disappointed that my patron saint is not a cat, an otter is not bad either.Of course, the most important thing is that she finally learned the Patronus Charm.

"Congratulations!" Andy smiled.

After Hermione played with the Otter Guardian for a while, Andy reminded: "Hermione, it's past twelve o'clock, we should go back to rest, and we have class tomorrow."

"Is it so late?"

Hermione was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay!"

……

Lying on the bed, Andy was thinking about something else in his mind.

How to make Harry reveal the secret of Parseltongue!

It's definitely not okay to ask directly.

Parseltongue was the symbol of Slytherin house, the house Harry hated most - by Malfoy alone.

"Then we can only use some small tricks."

Andy had an idea in his mind.

……

The next day, Friday.

At 08:30, Andy arrived at the door of Lockhart's office at the right time.

Because Harry and Ron drove a flying car to school and not only crashed the precious Whomping Willow, but also reported it... so both of them were put in solitary confinement.

For some unknown reason, Lockhart asked Harry to come over and help him write a reply to his fans.

Deng Deng Deng!
Andy knocked on the door.

creak-

Lockhart opened the door and glanced at Andy in surprise, "Good evening, are you...?"

"Hello, Professor, I am Andy Collins, a second-year Ravenclaw student." Andy smiled politely.

"Ravenclaw..."

Lockhart looked nostalgic, "That's a coincidence, I am also Ravenclaw. I really miss my school days, it was really a happy and unforgettable memory."

Andy: "..."

Shut up!

Harry was lying on the table writing something. After hearing the sound, he looked over with surprise, "Andy, why are you here?"

"Oh? Do you two know each other?"

Lockhart asked unexpectedly, "Are you here to find Potter?"

"Hi, Harry!"

Andy said hello, then looked at Lockhart and said, "No! Professor, I'm here to see you."

"Really? Then come in!" Lockhart was very enthusiastic.

Lockhart had already lost his reputation at Hogwarts since overturning his car with the Cornish elves.

Lockhart was very pleasantly surprised that a little wizard would come to him on the rare occasion.

After the two parties sat down, Lockhart first asked: "Collins, do you need any help?"

"Yes, Professor."

Andy pretended to be confused and said: "I know you are a Ravenclaw, so there is something... uh, actually... I want to borrow a book from the restricted book area, but Professor Flitwick may not agree."

"It's not a book about black magic, it's about the end of all curses... So, can you sign it for me?"

Lockhart raised his eyebrows, "Of course, no problem!"

"But... I have to say, it's still too early for you to read such a book."

"But I'll help you once!"

"After all, I went to read books in the restricted area when I was in first grade. At that time, many professors were willing to help me approve my papers, even your Principal Dumbledore."
