The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 6 There are hardly any honest people in the magic world.

"Excellent, fantastic!"

Ollivander put the wand back in its box and tied it in an elegant knot with a ribbon. "Pine trees usually choose independent wizards, whose unique personalities are even considered isolated. Phoenixes, on the other hand, are independent and solitary creatures..."

At this point, Ollivander gave Andy a slightly surprised look.

"Many wandmakers insist that pine wands choose long-lived wizards, and I agree—because I have never seen a pine wand holder die young. And the phoenix represents rebirth from the ashes."

So, does that mean I can just do whatever I want?

Andy was somewhat excited.

Ollivander continued, "Wands choose wizards, Mr. Collins. I'm sure you'll achieve great things in the future. But you can make many friends at school."

"Then thank you for your patronage, seven Galleons."

"Thank you, Mr. Ollivander."

Andy took the wand box and handed Ollivander seven Galleons, but did not leave immediately.

Andy initially didn't believe in the idea of ​​choosing a wizard for a wand, but this wand made of pine wood and phoenix tail feathers seemed to suit him exceptionally well.

It's safe to assume that any traveler to the world of Harry Potter would crave power and immortality. As for Dumbledore's talk of love and friendship—that's enough to have; there seems to be no need to deliberately pursue it.

Well, it's true that you should take the initiative to pursue a girl you like, and Andy is very experienced in this regard.

Moreover, independence... even isolation...

Andy knew himself well; he was just an ordinary transmigrator, possessing all the characteristics of a transmigrator. Independence and immortality—it had to be said, this magic wand seemed to have been specially prepared for him.

"Mr. Collins, is there anything else?" Ollivander asked curiously, seeing that Andy hadn't left.

"Yes!"

Andy frowned and said, "Mr. Ollivander, you said the wand chooses the wizard, but a person's personality isn't set in stone..."

Ollivander wasn't impatient; instead, he patiently explained, "Of course, while this is rare, it's not unheard of."

"In fact, every wand is only a semi-finished product. It grows together with the chosen wizard and gradually adapts to the wizard's personality and spellcasting habits. So even if the wizard's temperament suddenly changes drastically, the wand will change along with the wizard."

"Remember, the wand is a wizard's most trustworthy companion."

"Thank you!" Andy nodded to indicate that he understood.

Ollivander's explanation may be somewhat idealistic, but that's just how the magical world is, and it's not surprising that wands have their own personalities.

"I also need to buy a set of wand care tools."

Andy decided that he would treat his wand like a girlfriend from now on, and try to make the wand fall in love with him as soon as possible.

Hmm... if she were a witch, she could treat her wand as a boyfriend.

Perhaps it's a bit too thin?

After buying the wand, Andy went to Madam Malkin's Robes Shop and bought three sets of Hogwarts uniforms.

The school uniform needs to be custom-made and will be delivered to Andy's home in three days.

Having bought his wand and Hogwarts uniform, Andy went to Florin's Ice Cream Shop, ordered an ice cream, and waited for Helen and Isabel while he ate it.

Every time I come to Diagon Alley, I will never go back without eating the ice cream from this shop.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Helen led Isabel into the ice cream shop. "I had the owl deliver the things home. Andy, you and Isabel wait here for a bit, I have something to take care of."

"Okay, don't worry!" Andy said casually.

Aside from the exceptionally honest ones, there are practically no honest people in the magical world.

We're all wizards who have mastered amazing magic, so it would be strange if we hadn't secretly done anything bad.

Putting aside everything else, even Hermione, a model student, went astray in less than a year at Hogwarts. From violating school rules to breaking the law, it didn't matter as long as she wasn't caught.

Helen is a potions master, and occasionally taking orders for forbidden potions doesn't seem to be a big problem for her.

Even if the Ministry of Magic discovers their existence, Kyle will help manage their relationships. Furthermore, they always have a spare key to the house, so escaping would only take a moment.

The pot of compound decoction that I brewed a month and a half ago has already been delivered, and a large sum of Galleons has been deposited into the family's coffers as a result.

To be honest, it's really abnormal for the wizarding world to be as poor as the Weasleys.

In the first few years after his time travel, Andy thought that Muggle money and wizarding money could be exchanged at will.

I asked Helen and learned that only junior wizards in the Muggle world have a certain amount of exchange quota each year.

Helen was also very disappointed about this.

After learning from her classmates that Muggle money could be exchanged for Galleons, she even went to learn the Imperishable Charm and the Forgotten Charm, only to find that Gringotts didn't offer that service at all.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Helen walked into the ice cream shop with a beaming smile. "Andy, Isa, let's go home."

"But I haven't finished eating yet," Isabel said pitifully, not wanting to go home so early.

"Let's eat at home, Mom has important things to do." Helen said without waiting for a reply, pulling Isabel out of the ice cream shop.

Returning home through the fireplace, Andy looked at Helen and asked, "Do you need any help?"

"Hmm... it's a high-grade potion, I'm afraid you can't handle it."

"What is it this time?"

"Verbal serum!"

Okay, Andy knows about this stuff.

Truth serum is not absolutely effective; there are many ways to ignore its effects, so it cannot be used in situations such as trials.

However, if combined with the Crucifixion mantra, the Truth Elixir becomes very effective.

The person who bought this must be a dark wizard.

Helen went to brew a potion, while Isabel continued eating the unfinished ice cream. Andy, seeing that there was nothing else to do, took his wand out of the box.

"Andy, are you going to cast a spell?" Isabel asked Andy curiously.

"I want to give it a try!"

Andy opened "Standard Spells: Beginner".

As a spell textbook for first graders, "Standard Spells: Beginner" only records nine simple spells, and these spells, judging from their names, seem like cheap, low-quality spells with no power whatsoever.

But Andy wasn't disappointed at all.

Charms class does indeed only teach some basic magic; the real offensive or defensive spells are actually taught in Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Quirrell, as the main antagonist in the first movie, may not be very bright, but surely he can't be as incompetent as the flight instructor, right?

After all, he had to pretend to be a professor and seize the opportunity to steal the Philosopher's Stone, so he had to make it look convincing.

If he were truly a fraud, wouldn't Dumbledore have fired him?
