The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 53 No one is omnipotent

School clinic.

Mrs. Pomfrey gave Malfoy a full examination.

"Oh! Merlin's beard, what on earth happened?"

Madam Pomfrey exclaimed in shock, "This is very evil dark magic! How could anyone use such magic on a mere child wizard?"

"Bobby, how is Malfoy now?" Professor McGonagall asked hurriedly.

Pomfrey looked distressed and shook her head, saying, "The situation is terrible. He still has residual damage from dark magic in his body, which cannot be easily cured. I need some special potions."

Dumbledore turned to look at Snape.

Snape said calmly, "Leave it to me!"

Dumbledore nodded. "Alright, let's go out now. This child needs to rest."

The group arrived at the school clinic and saw Professor Don coming down from the third floor. He nodded to Dumbledore and then said, "During the banquet, only Mr. Filch was absent. Although Ms. Pomfrey left early, the timing doesn't match up."

The group exchanged glances.

Filch is a Squib, so even if he has some dark magic items, it would be difficult for him to attack a young wizard.

Moreover, he had no reason to do so.

Dumbledore's eyes were serious.

He already had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't know how the other party had done it or what his purpose was.

But there is no doubt that the other party has not given up their intention to steal the magic stone.

"Alright, Minerva, you take the professors to search the castle first, don't miss any corner, and get the ghosts in the castle to help too."

Dumbledore instructed, "Severus, come with me to the Headmaster's office."

Snape glanced at Dumbledore.

He sensed that Dumbledore already knew who the killer was, but after thinking about it, Snape didn't say anything more.

Principal's Office.

With no outsiders present, Snape cut to the chase: "Do you know who the killer is?"

"Ah! Yes, I've already guessed some of it."

Dumbledore sat in his chair, his hands clasped on the table, his eyes fixed on Snape. "I just don't yet know how he did it, or what his intention was..."

"Severus, Malfoy... has anything unusual happened lately?"

Snape thought for a moment, then said, "No!"

Dumbledore closed his eyes and pondered.

He knew who did it and what their ultimate goal was. But he couldn't understand how they would achieve their objective by attacking Malfoy.

There shouldn't be any of his spies in the castle anymore.

Snape, growing impatient, asked, "Headmaster Dumbledore, who exactly is the murderer?"

"Quirinus Quirrell!" Dumbledore didn't hide it.

"It's him?"

Snape was somewhat puzzled. "He's been away from Hogwarts for over a month. I know his capabilities; he couldn't have done this. The Dark Lord has also lost his powers..."

As one of Dumbledore's right-hand men, Snape knew many secrets, and Dumbledore would entrust Snape with matters related to Voldemort.

Simply put, Professor McGonagall was in charge of managing all matters related to Hogwarts, while Snape was responsible for the dirty, tiring, and dangerous tasks.

That's fair!

Who told Snape not to be the vice-principal!

"Perhaps he made some arrangements before he left."

Dumbledore frankly stated, "On the day he left, I unexpectedly discovered... that Voldemort was possessing him."

Snape: "..."

He now desperately wanted to pry open Dumbledore's skull and see what was going on inside.

Are you suffering from Alzheimer's?

Since you discovered Voldemort, why didn't you keep him here?

Snape not only thought this way, he also asked this question.

"Then why didn't you catch him?"

Snape simply couldn't understand it. "With your abilities, you should be more than capable of doing this."

"No, Severus, I can't!"

Dumbledore's eyes were calm, and his voice was gentle as he said, "Although I have achieved some success in magic, I am not omnipotent, and no one in this world is omnipotent."

"Voldemort's current state is very special; he exists in a state between existence and non-existence. Although he has lost his powers, he is also immune to a lot of magical damage."

Snape was panting with anger; he didn't believe Dumbledore's nonsense at all.

Dumbledore continued, "So I gave up on intervening, but... Voldemort obviously didn't give up."

Snape frowned. "But he's already left the school!"

Dumbledore was somewhat troubled. "That's what puzzles me most. Why did he attack Malfoy...?"

Snape seemed to have thought of something, his eyes becoming somewhat serious. "I know Lucius. If Malfoy was attacked at school, he will definitely take Malfoy out to recuperate."

Dumbledore suddenly looked up at Snape.

If that's the case, then things are getting a bit bad.

Lucius Malfoy is a Death Eater, so he obviously can't be told that Voldemort is still alive.

However, this would make it difficult for Dumbledore to interfere in Malfoy's affairs.

If Quirrell finds an opportunity, he can return to Hogwarts through Malfoy—he could do it with just a Spatial Expansion Charm.

Dumbledore paused for a moment, then said, "If that's the case, at least Malfoy won't be in danger."

Snape was nearly driven mad with anger. "You want the Dark Lord to return to Hogwarts?"

"We have no other choice!"

Dumbledore said in a low voice, "If we cannot unravel the secret of Voldemort's immortality, he will return sooner or later. I am old, Severus, at least while I still have the ability..."

Snape looked at Dumbledore.

That's true, but the Philosopher's Stone is at Hogwarts now. You can't live a few more years if you want, can you?

But Snape didn't want to discuss this with Dumbledore.

He didn't want to be driven to his death by Dumbledore, causing Dumbledore to outlive his son.

"I'll keep an eye on him!"

With those words, Snape turned and walked out of the headmaster's office.

He decided to drink a bottle of euphoria pills when he got back, unaware that this stuff wouldn't work on a stroke.

Dumbledore remained silent.

Quirrell will return to Hogwarts through Malfoy, so he will definitely continue to use Malfoy to carry out his plans.

Given the relationship between Harry and Malfoy, they will inevitably clash sooner or later.

Dumbledore closed his eyes slightly, feeling somewhat cold-blooded.

However, Dumbledore had no other choice.

Some people, even if they can accurately predict the future, still ultimately fail.

Dumbledore knew people like that.

Therefore, no one can be omnipotent; the only thing we can do is to do our best.
