The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 267 Why is it that someone is always targeting Andy every year?

"Ron, how many orders has that person given you from yesterday to today?" Andy asked.

"Let me think..."

Ron thought for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Three times...maybe four times."

"Can you tell me?" Andy asked.

Upon hearing this, Harry and Hermione both turned their attention to Ron.

"certainly!"

Ron pursed his lips and recalled, "At first, a voice told me to look at Harry with a fierce gaze."

Andy and Hermione exchanged a glance.

This flaw was indeed deliberately leaked to them.

Ron continued, "And then... that voice told me to wait for Andy on the eighth floor."

"Wait for me on the eighth floor?" Andy was taken aback.

Harry asked, puzzled, "Why do we have to wait for Andy on the eighth floor?"

Ron said helplessly, "How would I know? But I heard a rumor that there's a secret classroom on the eighth floor of the castle, where Andy practices magic."

Hermione glanced at Andy with a hint of relief. "Andy, thank goodness I dragged you to the library, otherwise you might already be the one being plotted against."

Andy frowned.

Should I have Ron wait for me on the eighth floor?

Was the Horcrux originally planning an attack on the eighth floor?

Ron continued, "I waited on the eighth floor for a while, and then the voice told me to take Harry to the girls' restroom on the second floor, saying that it heard a hissing sound there."

Andy asked疑惑地问道：“Ron, didn’t you say you heard the sound four times?”

Ron nodded, and said with some fear, "Yes, there was one time it was very blurry, and I'm not sure if it was that person's voice."

"Oh?" Andy raised an eyebrow.

Ron said, "I didn't hear what they said that time, but I'm sure it was the same voice."

Andy gave Ron a chilling glance. "If it were a spellcaster giving you an order, you should have heard it clearly."

"Since you didn't hear clearly, that means... the killer did speak, but it wasn't giving you an order."

Harry and Ron gasped upon hearing this.

Hermione exclaimed in shock, "The murderer was there! He was in the crowd of onlookers!"

Andy patted Hermione on the shoulder and said, "Alright, that's all I wanted to ask. It's getting late, you two haven't eaten yet, have you? I won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, Andy pulled Hermione away, ready to leave.

"Andy!" Harry suddenly called out.

"Hmm?" Andy turned around and looked at Harry with some surprise.

Harry considered his words carefully before speaking, "Andy, that killer not only attacked two classmates, but he also took Ron hostage and has his eye on you... I think we should work together to catch that killer, what do you say?"

Andy: "..."

Logically speaking, cooperation is always more efficient than going it alone, no matter the circumstances.

But then again...

Cooperation should be done with the right people.

If the collaborators are Harry and Ron...

"No need, I can handle it myself." Andy said, waving his hand and turning to leave.

These two twelve- or thirteen-year-old kids are basically useless except for their sense of justice and courage. If they were even a little more mature, Andy would consider cooperating with them.

But now...

Forget it!

"Andy, that killer is dangerous. He's already got his eye on you," Hermione said worriedly as they walked toward the eighth floor.

Why is it that someone is targeting Andy every year?

The little witch was a little confused... Was this a curse?

"He might be dangerous, but I'm not safe either!" Andy said calmly.

Hermione didn't dwell on the matter and instead said, "He sent Ron to the eighth floor to keep an eye on you... which means he was originally planning an attack from the eighth floor."

"But you went to the library, so he had to change the location of the crime at the last minute."

"Well……"

"Andy, don't you think something's a little off here?"

Andy chuckled softly.

"Of course something's wrong!"

"If the killer only wanted to stage an attack in front of me, he only needed to keep an eye on me, instead of having Ron 'wait' for me on the eighth floor!"

"What's more, he made Ron expose himself on his own initiative."

There are too many suspicious points here.

First, let Ron expose himself, and then go to the eighth floor to wait for Andy... Andy remembers clearly that Ron said "wait," not "keep an eye on."

If Ron is not mistaken, then there is a big problem here.

Hermione frowned.

"Andy, do you think... the killer might believe that if you notice Ron's unusual behavior, you'll expose him?"

Ah this...

Andy's lips twitched slightly.

To be honest, if he were a normal young wizard, he would indeed do that.

Andy imagined it for a moment.

If I went to the House of Requirement today and then ran into Ron when I came out...

Or perhaps, when he was peering out from the girls' restroom on the second floor and saw Ron looking at him with a strange expression, he stepped forward and said something...

Is that right?

Andy was filled with questions.

Is this Voldemort's goal?

Andy initially thought that Voldemort orchestrated the attack to draw everyone's attention to the secret room, giving him a chance to catch his breath.

But now it seems that Voldemort originally planned to commit the crime on the eighth floor.

"It's not that simple, is it?"

Andy analyzed, "I think when we analyze things, we should never forget his real purpose—he wanted to be resurrected!"

The little witch disagreed, saying, "Didn't you say before that he was a bit abnormal? Extreme? Twisted? It doesn't seem surprising what kind of person he would do, does it?"

Okay, Andy was convinced.

Voldemort's Horcruxes... Who knows what that fragment of his soul is trying to do?

Hermione continued, "Most importantly... Andy, he's got his eye on you. You're not some boy who survived a catastrophe, and you don't have any grudge against Voldemort, so why would he go to all this trouble to scheme against you?"

Andy gave Hermione an approving look. "Hmm! You've hit the nail on the head."

"He didn't attack me; instead, he chose to use Ron to scheme against me. This shows that he didn't want to kill me, but rather wanted to achieve some goal through me."

Hermione looked at Andy. "So... what can you do?"

Andy corrected her, "Hermione, there are so many things I can do. So... it's not about what I can do, but what he heard."

"All right!"

Hermione nodded. "The most likely explanation is that you improved the Patronus Charm. If something happens to you at school, it might make the front page of the Daily Prophet."

Andy shrugged and said, "Then he can just attack me directly."

"Hermione, let's go over this!"

"He heard some things about me and thought I could do things that others couldn't, so he manipulated Ron to scheme against me."

"But there are two problems here. First, Ron is Harry's friend; second, Ron deliberately exposed himself."
