The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 229 Dumbledore Begins to Feign Madness

The next morning, as soon as Andy arrived at the Great Hall, he heard that a young Slytherin wizard had been caught for going out at night the previous night.

"It seems they were having a great time."

Andy turned his head and glanced towards the Gryffindor table, just as George and Fred were looking in his direction. Seeing their winking and exchanging glances, Andy chuckled helplessly.

One can imagine that from now on, the castle nights will be completely ruled by Lady Lorris.

The difficulty of night tours will increase exponentially.

"I wonder how Harry and the others are doing," Andy said with some curiosity.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't curious about the reason for Snape's injury.

However, Andy had no intention of personally participating in the investigation. He would know if he could find out, and if not... he could find out some information after the matter was over.

Just treat it like watching a TV series.

"Well... it's best not to get involved now," Andy reminded himself.

The things the protagonist gets involved in are the epitome of trouble.

Andy always kept this in mind.

After breakfast, Andy avoided the crowd and went to the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin to continue the task he hadn't finished the night before.

As Andy waved his wand...

Under the influence of magic, the ancient English dictionary, manuscript, and notebook floated in the air. As the ancient English dictionary turned its pages automatically, the quill pen scribbled something in the notebook.

"Magic is so useful."

With just a wand, you can completely free your hands. Whatever you want to do, you can easily do it by simply waving the wand.

As Andy's research into magic deepened, his views on magic gradually changed.

If we disregard destructive power, magic far surpasses technology in terms of wonder and functionality—at least on this planet.

Because technology is based on matter, its limits are confined by materials and energy. But magic is different; magic can almost make anything happen, and its functionality has no upper limit.

As for the upper limit of magic...

Andy glanced at his body. "This is probably the body that's still considered 'mortal'."

By now, Andy has come to understand why those wizards who possess magical powers still cannot escape the temptation of power and profit, and instead do not pay particular attention to the study of magic.

Because they could already see the end.

Dumbledore is the pinnacle of the wizarding world.

Dumbledore is very powerful, but what is so special about him?

not at all!

Dumbledore could only live like an ordinary wizard.

With the upper limit set in place, it's easy for people to lose their motivation to work harder.

"So... magical transformation is my future!"

Andy confirmed this once again.

Andy took out a pre-translated notebook, sat down in the chair, and began to carefully read through it.

After reading for a while, Andy put down the book and rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

It's the same problem I encountered last night.

As the knowledge he encountered became increasingly difficult and complex, Andy's thinking ability began to fall short.

Transfiguration—this is a profound form of magic that even Salazar Slytherin had to painstakingly study. Andy, relying solely on books, could only remain confused—feeling as if he understood it, yet also as if he knew nothing at all.

Andy put the notebook away.

"We still have to take it one step at a time!"

Andy took a deep breath and made up his mind, "Researching magical transformation is not something that can be done in a short time. Before my [Mind] attribute is improved, studying this information will only be a waste of time."

Using a quill pen to translate the manuscript, Andy went to the outer chamber and continued practicing Transfiguration.

……

at the same time.

Snape stood at the office door with a grim expression, realizing that his office had been secretly broken into again.

What audacity!

Since Andy stole some potion ingredients, Snape had made some small adjustments to his office.

That's a very interesting alchemical item.

"Is it that Collins kid again? Or...?"

Snape walked to a cabinet with a stern face, opened the cabinet door and took out a crystal ball the size of a fist.

Placing the crystal ball on the cushion, Snape took out his wand, pointed it at the ball, and said, "Image Appearance!"

A cloud of white mist appeared inside the crystal ball.

As the white mist dissipated, Harry and Ron's two disgusting faces appeared on the crystal ball—the two of them were sneaking around, searching for something in Snape's office.

Seeing Harry's clumsy appearance, Snape's lips curled into a mocking smile.

Just like his foolish father.

Snape would never admit that Harry carried Lily's genes. Lily was so intelligent, while that Potter—was practically the epitome of stupidity.

Snape looked away from the crystal ball and glanced at his right arm.

During Potions class yesterday morning, Snape's movements were so exaggerated that he accidentally revealed the wound hidden under his sleeve, which Harry saw clearly.

Snape was initially somewhat concerned, but now all he wanted to do was laugh out loud three times.

With this evidence, he could kick Harry Potter out of Hogwarts on the spot. Even if Dumbledore didn't want to expel that foolish Potter, he could still deduct several points from Gryffindor's grade.

This is trespassing into the professor's office!

Is it too much to give 100 points plus half a semester of confinement?

Picking up the crystal ball, Snape strode briskly toward the headmaster's office.

……

"Severus?"

Dumbledore looked at Snape with some surprise. "Is your injury any better?"

"You should take a look at this first." Snape placed the crystal ball on the desk, took out his wand, and played a short film for Dumbledore.

"Uh..." Dumbledore looked embarrassed.

Dumbledore was actually pleased with Harry and Ron's actions last night. Whatever their motives, as long as it helped Harry develop, it was a good thing.

After all, only Harry could possibly find Voldemort's Horcruxes.

He needs courage, wisdom, perseverance, companions, and the experience of adventure.

But it wouldn't be good if Snape caught you red-handed.

If Harry loses points and gets locked up for a few months, will he dare to go out and take risks again?

I'm afraid they don't even have the courage anymore.

In particular, Harry and Ron have already been in solitary confinement for half a semester because they drove their flying car to school. If they were to be confined for another half semester... that would be too terrible, wouldn't it?

Dumbledore had a bit of a headache.

"Ah! This is truly an interesting adventure."

Dumbledore began to feign madness, thinking he was getting senile. "It seems they've discovered you're injured... Severus, interested in playing along with them?"
