The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 65 Giving Christmas presents is unlikely to make you an enemy.

"Am I mistaken about something?"

Andy decided to rethink his approach.

First, Voldemort wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone, attempting to use its power to make a comeback.

Hmm... Dumbledore knew Voldemort wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone, so he used the stone to set a trap.

When Voldemort saw the trap, he should have known that Dumbledore had seen through his intentions.

So what about Dumbledore?

Dumbledore's trap was so obvious that he even revealed its location at the opening banquet, clearly a direct bait to lure Voldemort out.

With the Philosopher's Stone in hand, Dumbledore had completely seized the initiative. Even though Voldemort had guessed his intentions, he had no choice but to cooperate with Dumbledore's performance.

"In other words, both of them were fully aware of each other's intentions. Director Deng devised a melodramatic plot, and Voldemort, for the sake of his salary, had no choice but to bite the bullet and participate in Director Deng's new drama."

Ultimately, it all comes down to whose methods are more clever!

This should be the original plot.

Andy's encouragement of Malfoy to expel Quirrell from Hogwarts essentially disrupted all of their plans.

"If that's the case, then Voldemort's intentions are quite clear?"

Andy thought to himself, "Voldemort still wants the Philosopher's Stone, and he's not afraid of alerting him. A lone Voldemort is very dangerous. If Dumbledore finds out about this, Dumbledore will have to let him return to Hogwarts."

Voldemort possesses Quirrell, and if left unchecked, he can attack anyone at any time, becoming even more uncontrollable.

Therefore, Dumbledore had no choice but to take out the Philosopher's Stone to appease Voldemort and make him behave for the time being.

Andy felt he had figured out the whole plan.

Whether it was attacking Malfoy or using the Ministry of Magic to investigate the fourth floor of the castle, Voldemort was fearless.

Only if Voldemort reveals his dangerousness will Dumbledore continue to use the Philosopher's Stone as bait, giving Voldemort an opportunity to steal it.

Uh… if that’s the case, then Voldemort’s return to Hogwarts is already a done deal.

Andy was having a bit of a headache.

This is outrageous!

If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred to have continued to put up with the smell of garlic and listen to Quirrell read his textbooks dryly.

Once Voldemort returns to Hogwarts, he will go from being in the light to being in the dark.

"Andy, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Andy's ever-changing expression, Ashia raised an eyebrow and asked.

"No, it's nothing." Andy smiled, but his heart was heavy.

In any case, we still need to be careful next semester.

Andy realized that he might have underestimated Voldemort.

Regardless of how you look at it, Voldemort is the ultimate boss of this era. Even if he appears to be brainless, it doesn't mean he really has no intelligence.

Perhaps it was his overconfidence in his abilities that made him too lazy to think. Or perhaps it was the influence of dark magic that amplified the dark side of his heart, making him impulsive and arrogant.

The fact that Voldemort was able to become the Dark Lord is enough to prove that he was extremely intelligent.

"Old Deng, don't you dare mess with me!" Andy said with a heavy heart.

……

The Christmas holidays passed quickly.

Feeling threatened, Andy sought advice from Helen on many practical combat techniques during his vacation.

Helen was initially reluctant to teach because she didn't want Andy to become an Auror; the profession was too dangerous.

In Helen's opinion, those practical combat skills were really useless. At least, in all these years, she and Kyle had never had a life-or-death struggle with any wizard.

Helen told Andy that when he got older, he could learn the Killing Curse. When he encountered an enemy, he could just unleash the Killing Curse on their face, and if that didn't kill them, he could quickly Apparate to escape.

If the enemy also uses Apparition to catch up, use the pre-prepared Portkey to teleport a long distance.

This is a secret life-saving technique passed down through the Collins family. When the magical world was in chaos, the elders survived thanks to this trick.

To be honest, this tactic is pretty good.

However, Andy still wanted to learn practical combat skills. After all, Andy hadn't been practicing magic so hard just to run away when he encountered enemies.

Unable to resist Andy's persistent nagging, Helen finally agreed.

If you want to learn practical combat, the first thing you need to learn is how to dodge magic.

Dark wizards won't be polite; the Killing Curse is their most proficient magic—a spell that is not only difficult to resist but also instantly kills anyone who touches it, and has no counter-curse.

In addition, aiming training is also required.

This is Andy's forte; his spells are incredibly accurate and his control is exceptional. Even moving targets can be hit instantly by Andy.

Finally, there is the matter of timing the incantation.

This is combat experience.

Although Helen received training in this area during her school years, she herself had no real combat experience, but she was more than capable of guiding Andy, a junior wizard.

In short, Andy has been training very hard these past few days.

Before school started, Andy was even able to spar with Helen in a fairly respectable manner.

When Andy boarded the Hogwarts Express again, his mindset was completely different from before.

Looking around, Andy felt there wasn't a single person he could fight.

What a bunch of careless little wizards!

Inside the carriage, Hermione was carrying a large stack of books, all of which she had bought in Diagon Alley during the holidays.

"Andy, did you have a good holiday?" Hermione asked while reading.

"Of course, what about you?"

Andy asked himself, "Judging from your expression, you haven't been reading all holiday, have you?"

Hermione replied with an expression that said, "I don't want to fall too far behind you."

At this point, Hermione suddenly said, "Oh right, I saw Malfoy on the platform earlier. I didn't expect his injury to be so serious. He was in the hospital for almost two months before he recovered."

Andy's expression hardened. "Has he changed in any way?"

"No...?"

Hermione thought for a moment and said, "I only glanced at it quickly and didn't pay much attention. Which aspect of the change are you referring to?"

"It's nothing!" Andy shook his head.

Andy didn't want Hermione to know that Quirrell might sneak back into Hogwarts; that would be too dangerous.

The little witch is not very cunning; she is too easily exposed.

Hermione didn't think much of it, assuming Andy was just asking about Malfoy out of concern for his classmate.

……

Chatting along the way, the train soon arrived at Hogsmeade Station.

Hagrid was there to pick them up again, and the first-year wizards still had to enter the castle from the Black Lake. The ice on the lake hadn't melted yet, so the young wizards had to walk towards the castle.

As Andy stepped into the auditorium, he immediately felt himself being stared at.

Andy turned his head warily and saw that it was Snape.

Snape's gaze was extremely sharp; he seemed to want to deduct a hundred points from Andy.

Is it just my imagination?

Andy thought to herself, she had given him a Christmas present. Even if it didn't bring them closer, it couldn't possibly make them enemies, right?
