The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 238 The next hundred years of the magical world belong to Ravenclaw

Is magic derived from life?

Ghosts are lifeless, but they possess magic, though they cannot use it.

Moreover, according to Mr. Capon, ghosts can exist in the world because magic replaces life, thus sustaining their existence.

"..."

so hard!

No wonder so many great wizards have wasted their time in this field! The nature of magic... is indeed not a realm that wizards can delve into.

"Mr. Collins, Miss Granger..."

Professor Flitwick chuckled and said, "It's getting late, you two should go eat! Mr. Collins' Patronus Charm has been confirmed, and his paper will be published soon."

Mr. Cabon affirmed, "Of course, I guarantee it!"

"Thank you, Professor. Thank you, Mr. Capone," Andy said, and left Professor Flitwick's office with Hermione.

However... Andy has no appetite at all right now.

The essence of magic—an alluring topic.

Whoever can solve this problem will be the true god of magic.

On the way to the Great Hall, Hermione looked at Andy with concern. "Andy, are you still thinking about that question?"

"don’t worry!"

Andy laughed and said, "I'm just thinking about it. I won't be researching this field. Although I'm arrogant, I still have some self-awareness."

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Professor Flitwick and Mr. Capone both said it's an unsolvable problem; perhaps only God knows the answer."

God...

It's truly something to admire.

Upon arriving at the auditorium, Andy ate his lunch absentmindedly, his mind constantly drifting back to the question from before.

Ghosts, Voldemort's remnant soul, life, magic.

Ghosts have no life, but they possess magic; they simply lack the ability to cast spells.

As for Voldemort's remaining soul... he might simply be unable to wield a wand. Even with only a remnant soul remaining, Voldemort still possessed powerful magical abilities.

He is not truly dead; he possesses life and magic.

Andy opened the system panel.

Magic, soul!

Andy has added the [Magic] attribute, which only increases Andy's magic reserves; no other effects are visible.

As for the [Soul] attribute... Andy still didn't know what this attribute was used for.

Four points in [Soul] is already considered a high stat.

But Andy didn't discover that he had any special advantages.

According to Mr. Capone, attributes such as mind, thought, and will all originate from the soul. However, Andy's [Soul] attribute is as high as four points, yet it provides no boost to his mind, thought, or will.

Andy even felt that the [Soul] attribute had no effect on spellcasting ability.

ghost……

Nick, nearly headless, floated over the Gryffindor table.

The ghosts retain the characteristics they had before they died—not only their wounds, but even the clothes they wore before they died.

"Is it the effect of magic?" Andy wondered to himself.

Hermione tugged at Andy's clothes, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Andy, you've been eating this sausage for almost five minutes now."

"Sorry!" Andy stuffed the rest of the sausage into his mouth.

"Stop thinking about it!"

Hermione advised, "That's not a problem we can solve."

"I understand!" Andy sighed.

Andy didn't want to waste time thinking about these "useless" things, but his brain was out of his control!

Taking a deep breath, Andy activated his brain-clearing technique to empty his mind, and only then did he feel much more relaxed.

"I feel much better!"

After Andy finished speaking, he quickened his pace of eating.

Hermione said seriously, "Andy, instead of thinking about the nature of magic, you should focus your energy on transfiguration. That's the kind of knowledge we can actually grasp."

"I'm sorry I made you worry."

Andy said, "You know, I usually love studying magic. Suddenly encountering such an interesting topic, I couldn't quite control my thoughts for a moment."

Hermione smiled. "Actually, it's the same for me. I manage to stop thinking about those things by distracting myself."

Andy scratched his head. "Our thoughts are our ideas, and since ideas are uncontrollable, they might be related to willpower."

[Willpower: 2]

That's just too tragic!

"Hurry up and eat, you have class this afternoon!" Hermione said irritably.

"OK!" Andy assured him.

……

Professor Flitwick's office.

"Felius, I have a feeling that another great wizard is about to emerge at Hogwarts." Mr. Carbon raised his glass and gestured to Professor Flitwick.

Frivi also raised his glass.

He seemed very pleased, after all, Andy Collins was a Ravenclaw wizard.

Dumbledore graduated from Gryffindor.

Voldemort graduated from Slytherin.

In recent years, Gryffindor and Slytherin have seemed to be the protagonists and villains of the British wizarding world, while Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff have become much more low-key.

But Andy's appearance gave Flitwick a glimpse of Ravenclaw's rise—he even believed that the next hundred years of the wizarding world belonged to Ravenclaw.

As for Dumbledore and Snape's concerns about whether Andy would become the Dark Lord in the future...

Flitwick never worried about this issue.

Just kidding, that's an improved version of the Advanced Guardian Spell!

Based on this magic alone, Professor Flitwick believed that if Andy Collins were a little older, he might even be able to join the League against the Dark Arts.

In ancient times, guardian spells were a symbol of a skilled wizard.

"Karl, what do you think?" Frivi asked.

"You mean that guardian spell?"

Thinking of that fat cat guardian spirit, Mr. Cabon still looked incredulous. "To be honest, before I met that guardian spirit, I thought it was just a legend."

Frivi nodded.

In modern magic systems, the Guardian Charm is a relatively obscure spell, not nearly as amazing as described in ancient texts.

Mr. Cabon continued, "I even believe that Collins' Patronus Charm is unique. Even in the magical age of ancient Greece, it was a unique Patronus!"

Flitwick agreed, saying, "I was joking with Collins earlier that if Mr. Scamander met his Patronus, there might be another magical creature in the book 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'."

"Ha ha--"

Mr. Cabon laughed loudly, "A perfect combination of mind and magic... To be honest, Philius, I think that guardian deity still has room for improvement."

"The Guardian Charm is just magic. If Collins could truly merge his mind and magic..."

"I can't imagine, he might become the god of magic!"

Hearing this, Flitwick's expression suddenly turned serious. "Karl, I've actually been hesitant. Collins and I discussed this topic before, but I didn't tell him."
