The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 73 Your ambition cannot be hidden at all

Is being single a curse?

Does Hogwarts have such a curse?

How come I didn't know?

Dumbledore lived for over a hundred years, experiencing countless ups and downs throughout his life. Almost nothing could move him, unless he couldn't help but feel emotional.

I suspect you're subtly criticizing me.

Dumbledore looked at Andy and said with amusement, "Where did you hear this rumor? Hogwarts doesn't have such a curse."

Is that right?

Andy looked completely innocent.

In order to investigate the curse, Andy has already found out the details.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts class does indeed have a different professor every year. No matter how careful and vigilant you are, something always happens to the professors at the Defense Against the Dark Arts class every year.

At best, it will cause you trouble; at worst, it will result in serious injury; and in the most severe cases, it may even lead to death.

Furthermore, Andy also investigated the marital status of other Hogwarts professors.

In short, the result was not very good.

Single, widowed... the reasons vary, but the results are roughly the same.

Either be like Dumbledore and Snape, single because they can't find a partner; or be like Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout, married but widowed.

This is absolutely a tragedy.

Since Dumbledore has admitted that the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is indeed cursed, what about Hogwarts?

Andy decided to offer a subtle reminder, "Headmaster, think about yourself, and what about Professor Snape, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick..."

Andy rattled off the names of all the Hogwarts professors in one breath, then asked suspiciously, "Headmaster, aren't the professors at the school either single or widowed? Haven't you investigated the reasons behind this?"

Dumbledore: "..."

If Andy hadn't said anything, it would have been fine, but after hearing Andy's words, Dumbledore suddenly realized that the professors at Hogwarts were really too miserable!

Either single or widowed.

From the headmaster Dumbledore to the administrators Hagrid and Filch, not a single one of them managed to grow old with their partner.

Human tragedy!

"Hogwarts is not cursed, as for the situation you described..."

Dumbledore paused for a moment. "Everyone has a different lifestyle and pursues different dreams. We can't expect everyone to marry and have children. That's a standard the world sets for life, but it's not necessarily suitable for everyone."

Andy: "..."

Can this excuse be used to deceive people?

Andy didn't dwell on the question any further. "Headmaster, how did Voldemort curse the Defense Against the Dark Arts class?"

Hearing Andy call him by his name "Voldemort" instead of "Mysterious Man" as others do, Dumbledore felt a sense of relief.

Voldemort has been gone for ten years, yet the wizarding world still fears him like a tiger and dares not call him by name.

It must be said that this is also a tragedy.

Even the professors at the school—Snape still called him the Dark Lord, while the other professors called him the Mysterious Man.

They don't even dare to call him by his name. If Voldemort were to be resurrected, how many people would have the courage to fight him?

"I don't know either."

Dumbledore explained, "As far as I know, Voldemort is a descendant of Slytherin; perhaps he used some kind of bloodline magic!"

How could you not know?

Andy expressed his confusion about this.

Seemingly sensing Andy's confusion, Dumbledore chuckled and said, "I am not omniscient either; there are many secrets in this world that I do not know."

Andy shrugged and tentatively asked, "Principal, are you... tonight?"

Dumbledore blinked. "You should have guessed it already, shouldn't you?"

"I do not understand!"

Andy pretended to know nothing about it. "Since the Philosopher's Stone can bring danger, why did you bring it to school?"

"Could it be for Harry?"

Andy guessed, "You sent Hagrid to Gringotts to retrieve the Philosopher's Stone, perhaps you want Harry to do something?"

Dumbledore was somewhat surprised. "I must say, you are quite the astute young wizard, Mr. Collins."

Andy asked疑惑地问道, "Is there anything special about Quirrell?"

Dumbledore looked at Andy.

Although he was skilled in Legilimency, he did not abuse his abilities. But at this moment, he was genuinely curious about what was going on in the mind of this young wizard.

However, Dumbledore ultimately restrained himself.

Many people are complex, and Dumbledore was no exception. But what made him respected was his ability to strictly adhere to his principles.

"Since you've already guessed all this, you should also be able to guess my intention in doing this, right?" Dumbledore's tone remained calm, but his eyes revealed a hint of complexity.

"hiss--"

Andy gasped.

"No way!"

Andy's face showed surprise, and he exclaimed in shock, "Could it be that Voldemort... is still alive?"

Thank you to my family. For eleven years, Andy acted as a normal kid in front of them.

If it were during the first few years after the time travel, Andy would definitely have revealed a flaw right now.

"yes!"

Dumbledore sighed, "It's a pity he didn't die that night ten years ago."

Andy shrugged and said, "Okay, I got it!"

Dumbledore looked at Andy and said, "Even though Voldemort has been gone for ten years, many people are still terrified of him and dare not mention his name."

Andy not only called Voldemort by his name, but even when he heard the news that "Voldemort is still alive," he was only surprised for a moment before quickly calming down.

Dumbledore felt that the young wizard in front of him was unusually calm.

"Life goes on as long as it's not the end of the world."

Andy decided to make a big show of himself and show off his presence in front of Dumbledore. "Besides, I never thought I was inferior to Voldemort."

If someone else said that... well, nobody else would say that.

Dumbledore believed Andy's story almost immediately.

When Dumbledore first met Andy, he could tell that the young wizard had ambitions to surpass him.

This ambition cannot be hidden at all.

For Dumbledore, this was actually a good thing.

He is old, but the magical world still needs someone to protect it.

As long as Andy's mind isn't affected by dark magic, his minor flaws are completely harmless.

Everyone is complex, and the human heart is not just about justice and evil; it is multifaceted and unfathomable.

Even Dumbledore was the same.

Dumbledore never considered himself a saint, and his inner world was complex. However, he strictly adhered to his principles and never abused his magic and influence.

But black magic is different.

Dumbledore had seen many excellent wizards led astray by dark magic.

A dabbling in it is fine, but once you delve into the study of black magic, the allure to the soul is something that willpower simply cannot resist.
