The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 289 The King of Kings and the Banquet

"soul……"

Andy suppressed his excitement and went over his thoughts again.

Leaving aside the legendary dimensional demons, ghosts have indeed achieved immortality, and Horcruxes created by splitting souls can indeed prevent death.

The ghosts living in Hogwarts, and Voldemort, both prove this point.

But there is still one problem.

Andy thought to himself, "Why hasn't anyone studied such an obvious example?"

Few people know about Horcruxes, but ghosts... well, they're not everywhere, but there are quite a lot of them at Hogwarts.

And judging from the appearance of those ghosts, they seem to be living quite happily.

But in the magical world, it seems no one desires to become a ghost.

"Does the ghost have any flaws?" Andy frowned slightly.

If it weren't so rude, Andy would have loved to find a ghost and ask it what it's like to be a ghost.

"Hmm..." Andy pondered.

Leaving aside the flaws of ghosts, the idea of ​​'eternal life of the soul'... is something that can truly be achieved.

However, a single soul cannot use magic. Even Voldemort's ghost can only recover its power by absorbing the life force of other creatures.

"vitality……"

Andy recalled his earlier point of view—that magic originates from life.

"If we analyze based on this viewpoint, the so-called dimensional demons should be souls occupying dimensions and using dimensions as their physical bodies, thereby wielding the power of dimensions."

"Dimensions are immortal, the soul is eternal."

"And the same principle applies to Horcruxes."

"Using a magical object as a dimension, allowing a fragment of the soul to occupy it, thus avoiding death."

Andy raised an eyebrow.

The principles are all the same. It seems that ancient wizards had already discovered the secrets of the soul and had conducted some research on it.

The reason they didn't pursue the transformation of ghosts is likely because ghosts have some major flaw—especially their inability to use magic.

So everything has come full circle again.

How to avoid physical death!

To be honest, after learning these secrets, Andy suddenly realized that Voldemort's path of magic actually had some merits.

Dark magic transformation is a magical modification of the physical body, while Horcruxes are magical items that allow fragments of the soul to become a beggar's version of a dimensional demon.

Voldemort was also pursuing immortality!

After much deliberation, Andy decided to quickly allocate points to his [Dark Magic] talent, and then focus all his efforts on researching dark magic related to life and soul, in order to unravel the secrets of the soul and life.

As for the source of [potential points]...

Let's study combination magic!

"Phew—Time to sleep!"

Andy lay in bed, activated the Brain Lock technique to clear his mind, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

……

Over the next period of time, Andy became increasingly fervent in his research on magic.

Aside from eating, sleeping, and attending classes, he spends the rest of his time either reading in the library or practicing magic in the Room of Requirement.

That kind of desperate spirit would probably make even high school seniors shake their heads and exclaim that they couldn't beat it.

However, there are still people at Hogwarts who can outmaneuver Andy.

For example... a certain know-it-all lady.

Since discovering the Room of Requirement's starting room, it has become Andy and Hermione's secret base, where they spend most of their time studying.

The spellbooks left here by Lady Ravenclaw had already been organized, and as Andy expected, most of them contained advanced magical theories.

If an ordinary wizard were to see these books, he would probably only see magical theories.

But Andy had already begun to explore combination magic, or perhaps "fusion magic" would be a more accurate term. In short, from Andy's perspective, these magical theories were very helpful to his fusion magic.

Thanks to this, Andy's fusion magic improved rapidly, and before the Christmas holidays, he was already able to try various combinations.

The magic's power is just average.

But what surprised Andy the most was Hermione's progress.

The little witch seemed to be very suited to fusion magic. During one of her magic practice sessions, Hermione tried it on a whim and surprisingly succeeded.

Andy was almost stunned!

For this reason, Hermione now often considers herself the most legitimate heir to Ravenclaw and is determined to carry on the magic of the Ravenclaw ladies, studying with extraordinary diligence.

This practice resulted in Andy frequently becoming unable to take care of himself due to being caught in a whirlpool.

Thanks to her progress over this period, Hermione easily defeated Cho Chang with fusion magic at a recent dueling club gathering, and even fought Cedric to a standstill.

If Cedric hadn't reacted so quickly, he probably would have been defeated by Hermione.

Hermione's strength improved noticeably, which made her even more enthusiastic about rolling.

So when the Christmas holidays arrived, even Andy breathed a huge sigh of relief.

I'm just too exhausted to keep up with the workload!

On the last day before the holiday, Hogwarts held a dinner party, and all the professors were present.

The atmosphere in the auditorium was cheerful. The young wizards were excitedly discussing their holiday plans, while the professors were also chatting quietly about things happening both on and off campus.

"Andy, are you going to Godric's Hollow again this Christmas?" Harry asked as he walked over.

"Hmm! You want to...?" Andy asked.

Harry was conflicted. He really wanted to go to Godric's Hollow to see the traces left by his parents, but Andy's family was celebrating Christmas, and it wasn't appropriate for him, an outsider, to get involved.

"Andy, could you take a few more pictures for me?" Harry asked.

"Of course, no problem!" Andy readily agreed.

This saved a lot of money.

"Thank you!" Harry said gratefully.

Andy had a sudden inspiration. "Hermione, how about we come visit Godric's Hollow during the holidays? It's a very famous place in the wizarding world."

Harry looked at Andy with admiration. If he had Andy's thick skin, he could also solve his single problem.

"Godric Valley?"

Hermione was intrigued; she had heard of the valley before. "But...wouldn't it be inconvenient?"

"How could that be?"

Andy had an idea: "Christmas is a long holiday! On the last two days of the holiday, you can take the Knight Bus to Godric's Hollow. When school starts, we can go to King's Cross Station together."

"Uh...aren't there any other ways to get around?" Hermione asked hesitantly.

The little witch couldn't understand why anyone would like something like a knight bus.

The traffic police should have towed that beat-up car away!

"A fireplace will do too!"

Andy suggested again, "You can go to the Broken Axe Bar, use the fireplace, and go straight to my grandfather's house."
