The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 85 The Curse of Defense Against the Dark Arts Has Come True

"Andy, you can't go on like this."

Hermione's slightly helpless voice rang out in the quiet classroom.

"The exam is coming up soon, we should be studying now, not practicing magic or reading books that have nothing to do with the exam."

The little witch blushed, her gaze towards Andy carrying a hint of reproach.

"It's just an exam, do I really need to study?" Andy shut down the system, his tone also carrying a hint of helplessness.

Andy had only heard of premarital anxiety and postpartum anxiety, but never pre-exam anxiety.

I learned a lot this time.

"You don't just want an A (passing grade), do you?"

Hermione looked at Andy and said, "Getting an O (Outstanding) on ​​a test isn't that easy."

Two weeks ago, Hermione had already devoted herself to studying.

As the exam date drew closer, Hermione became increasingly anxious.

Andy really wanted to say that getting an A is actually pretty good too.

However, considering the little witch's values, Andy changed his story, saying, "This is a rare opportunity to practice magic, and I'll study in my dorm tonight. There are still three months until the exam, so I should be able to handle the written test without any problems."

In his Hogwarts studies, Andy is a practical person with excellent hands-on skills, but his theoretical knowledge is relatively weak.

Andy's memory is average, and he only focuses on the key points when reading. If it were a written test, Andy might not necessarily get an O.

And Andy didn't really care about the Hogwarts exams.

Andy sought power and immortality, not exam scores and the College Cup.

However, Andy would not impose his ideas on others.

Although Hermione was intelligent, she wasn't really any different from the other young wizards at school. Their purpose in going to school was simply to find a decent job after graduation.

Children tend to think idealistically.

"I'm so envious of you!"

Hearing Andy say that, Hermione instead showed an envious expression, "My spells and transfiguration are still far behind yours. I can't even imagine what it would be like if I failed the exam. Professor Flitwick would be so disappointed if I only got an E (Exceeding Expectations)."

Andy: "..."

Is it true that if you get 99 out of 100, you're failing?

If those academically challenged students heard what you said, they would definitely beat you to death.

"With your current level, even if you take the exam tomorrow, you can get O's in all subjects."

Andy told the truth.

Hermione had memorized all the textbooks before enrolling, and during this time she had been practicing magic with Andy, in addition to the explanations from her teachers…

Getting an O is child's play.

"It's getting late, let's go to the auditorium for dinner!" Andy suggested.

Hermione glanced at the sky outside the window, then readily nodded, "Okay!"

The auditorium was as lively as ever.

The incident of Harry and Ron being injured is now in the past, and the most discussed topic among students is Quidditch.

Based on current standings, Gryffindor is ranked first, Slytherin is close behind, and Ravenclaw is last, completely out of contention for this year's Quidditch championship.

Next month there will be a crucial match between Slytherin and Hufflepuff, as the winner will face Gryffindor for the ultimate championship.

The Quidditch Cup competition led to a sharp deterioration in relations between the three houses, and there was always a tense atmosphere when the three houses were together.

As for Ravenclaw, who's at the bottom... he's as popular as ever.

While they were having dinner, several older young wizards suddenly rushed into the Great Hall in a panic, shouting, "The Forbidden Forest is on fire! The Forbidden Forest is on fire!"

Walter?

Andy looked puzzled and quickly stood up, looking towards the Gryffindor table.

Thankfully, Harry is still alive.

"What happened?"

The young wizards were both nervous and excited.

They were nervous because something had happened at Hogwarts, but excited because the incident happened far away, allowing them to quietly observe the situation.

Some of the bolder young wizards tried to run out to see what was going on, but were blocked at the entrance of the Great Hall by Professor Domagk, Professor Snape, Professor Flitwick, and others who had rushed over.

"Go back to your seats, everyone!"

Professor McGonagall said sternly, "Prefect, check all the students in each house and see who is not in the Great Hall."

"Severus, Philius, I'm leaving the Great Hall to you. I'll be patrolling the castle with the other professors to see if there are any students who aren't in the Great Hall."

Snape nodded slightly and gave a soft "hmm".

He was in a terrible mood.

As one of the few people at Hogwarts who knew the truth, Snape naturally guessed who started the fire in the Forbidden Forest.

Knowing this is why he's feeling particularly bad right now.

He knew Voldemort somewhat, and Voldemort's audacity could only mean that his patience was almost exhausted.

A Voldemort who loses his patience is undoubtedly extremely dangerous.

Especially since Voldemort is currently in the Forbidden Forest outside Hogwarts Castle.

Thinking of this, Snape couldn't help but feel anxious.

Seeing the chaos in the Great Hall, Snape pulled out his wand and pointed it at his neck. "Quiet!! Everyone, take your seats immediately!"

Andy glanced at the professor's team.

Most of the professors at the school were present, except for Professor Tony Down, who taught Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Andy didn't pay much attention at first, but then he realized something was off.

Professor Don has been teaching for more than half a year, and he is considered a relatively responsible professor.

With such a big incident happening at the school, he couldn't possibly hide and not come out.

Andy made a quick judgment.

The fire in the Forbidden Forest...

Professor Don is either a troublemaker or someone who gets into trouble.

Andy thought of the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, a curse that Dumbledore himself admitted existed.

"May you have good luck!" Andy silently mourned.

The professors had arrived, and the young wizards' tension vanished instantly, replaced by excitement.

Everyone wanted to know what had happened in the Forbidden Forest, but no one dared to speak loudly because Snape was there.

The class monitor quickly tallied the number of students from each college, and found that many students from each college were not in the auditorium.

Although it's dinner time, not all the young wizards arrive at the Great Hall on time. Some who arrive early have already finished eating and left.

After listening to the prefect's report, Snape and Flitwick couldn't help but exchange a glance.

The two of them couldn't leave, and now they could only hope that Professor McGonagall could bring all the young wizards to the Great Hall.

Ravenclaw table.

Hermione was a little worried. "The Forbidden Forest was perfectly fine, how could it suddenly catch fire?"

Andy mouthed, "Quirok!"

At this point, Andy didn't want to hide anything anymore; he wanted to at least put the little witch on her guard.

That's a boss whose brain was eaten by Voldemort; who knows what crazy things he might do in his delusional state?
