The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 295 The Situation and the Collins Family's Tacit Understanding

Andy glanced at Helen indifferently.

I heard this in my past life, and I've heard it since I was a child.

You're still trying to fool me?

"Anyway, the money's already in Gringotts, and I don't have anywhere to spend it before graduation. Mom, I'll keep it myself." Andy clutched his little pocket tightly.

Helen rolled her eyes in annoyance upon hearing this.

Isabel was also somewhat disappointed. If Helen could swindle Andy's money, she might be able to swindle some as well.

Pity!

The group chatted and laughed, and after Kyle returned from get off work, the family had another dinner together.

"Andy, I heard something happened at Hogwarts again?" Kyle asked Andy at the dinner table.

"What happened?" Helen asked, startled.

Helen doesn't go to work, so she's not very well-informed.

Kyle explained, "I've heard that many students have written home, saying that there has been another attack at Hogwarts and two young wizards were injured."

Veronica frowned. "Why has Hogwarts been having so many problems these past two years?"

Kyle took a sip of beer and joked, "Everyone outside says Dumbledore is getting old."

Veronica was a little worried. "The British magical world has been a bit turbulent these past two years. Even Azkaban was attacked recently, and the newspapers said it was the remnants of the Death Eaters who did it."

"Helen, I think we should transfer Andy to another school. When Isa grows up, she can go to a magic school abroad too."

Helen was somewhat tempted by what she heard.

The British magical community has indeed been somewhat turbulent these past two years.

Andy said carefully, "Actually, it wasn't that dangerous. It was just that a dark wizard used dark magic items to bewitch a young wizard, but it's been resolved now."

After a pause, Andy added, "However, Isa could consider attending Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"I don't want to!" the little girl refused outright.

However, none of the people present would consider her opinion.

Helen glared at Andy, displeased, and said, "Andy, tell me the truth, what exactly happened? The dark wizard used dark magic items to bewitch the young wizards... what was his purpose? It couldn't have been to create chaos, could it?"

"Furthermore, I've never heard of any dark magic item being this powerful!"

Oh no…!

Andy's mind raced, and he said, "Maybe it's to get revenge on Dumbledore! You know, that Ministry of Magic operation to search for Dark Magic items, although they didn't catch many people, it still caused a lot of trouble..."

Helen stared intently at Andy... "Go on."

Andy simply gave up, saying, "I'm just an ordinary second-year wizard, so of course I'll believe whatever Dumbledore says."

Helen gave a soft snort upon hearing this.

Helen believed most of Andy's explanation.

He knows his own son well; Andy isn't one to meddle in other people's business. No matter how big or small things happen at Hogwarts, as long as Andy isn't involved, he generally won't bother.

"Kyle, why didn't you tell me this important news sooner?" Helen changed the target of her outburst.

Kyle took a sip of beer, perhaps a little tipsy, and said, "What's there to worry about? With Andy's strength, ordinary dark wizards can't hurt him."

Helen's face darkened!

Kyle continued, "Besides, I'm just worried you'll fret! Unless we bring Andy back, there's nothing we can do to help even if we find out the news."

Even the Ministry of Magic doesn't easily interfere in places like Hogwarts.

Norman then said, "The wizarding world has been peaceful for over a decade, but it looks like another major upheaval is brewing. Sigh! In previous years, the trouble was caused by dark wizards, but in the last two years... I think it's all the Death Eaters doing."

"Old man, what do you mean?" Veronica asked hurriedly.

Norman chuckled and said, "Besides the Death Eaters, who else dares to cause trouble at Hogwarts?"

At this point, the four adults' expressions became somewhat solemn.

The successive mishaps at Hogwarts and Azkaban hardly seem like a sign of peace.

Andy didn't interrupt either.

It's a good thing that the family is aware of the danger. Voldemort will be resurrected in a few years. The sooner they realize that the situation is not peaceful, the sooner they can make arrangements for their escape.

"Death Eaters..."

Helen frowned and said, "The Mysterio has been dead for over a decade. Why aren't those Death Eaters who escaped judgment living their lives peacefully? What are they making a fuss about now?"

If Voldemort wasn't leading them, then who was organizing them?

Kyle analyzed, "Perhaps it's for profit! After the mysterious man fell, those pure-blood families suffered heavy losses, and we all know why."

"To undermine Dumbledore's prestige and create some attacks might sway Fudge to their side."

Andy listened to Kyle's analysis, which, although far from the truth, was logically sound.

"Maybe the mysterious person isn't dead!"

Andy was preparing to give his family a heads-up: "Didn't the Mysterio boast that he's gone further than anyone else on the path to preventing death?"

Upon hearing Andy's words, Norman, Veronica, Kyle, and Helen all shuddered, and even Isabel looked at Andy with surprise.

Andy pretended to be eating with his head down.

People who didn't experience the Voldemort era can hardly understand why everyone was so afraid of Voldemort.

But if you just imagine how ordinary people would feel facing organized crime or terrorists, you can probably understand these people's fear of Voldemort.

"Andy!"

Helen's voice was somewhat shrill, "Don't say these things outside."

"Of course!" Andy said, raising an eyebrow.

Kyle and Norman exchanged a glance, then turned to look at Andy together, and the three nodded knowingly to each other.

This is an unspoken understanding within the Collins family.

Time to get ready to run!

With the serious topics put aside, the group moved on to some more interesting conversations, and the atmosphere at the dinner table finally improved.

"Oh, right!"

Andy suddenly said, "Mom, can you teach me Apparition during this holiday?"

"Apparition?"

Helen said seriously, "This is a very difficult spell. You are now... well, I can teach you, but you must promise me that you will never practice Apparition alone before you are proficient."

Helen originally wanted to refuse, but considering Andy's magical talent, it didn't seem like a big deal to learn Apparition ahead of time.

"Of course, I promise!" Andy said.

Kyle cautioned, "Even if you learn it, don't use it in front of outsiders. The matter of Apparition is easy to handle, but if the Ministry of Magic finds out that you've learned Apparition ahead of time, they'll hold you accountable."

"Understood!" Andy assured him again.

When the topic turned to magic, Helen suddenly became quite interested. "Andy, I read in the newspaper that your guardian spirit can use magic? Show us!"
