Hogwarts: The Unscientific Wizard (TL)

"What are you thinking about? You're so engrossed!" Hermione waved her hand in front of Andy's face.

"...Nothing, just some random thoughts," Andy let out a breath.

The script was indeed very good.

But in this way, Andy would also have to act according to Dumbledore's script—Dumbledore wanted Andy to take care of Harry.

This is going to be difficult.

On the one hand, there is the great benefit and fame.

On the other hand, he is walking into Dumbledore's game.

Without much hesitation, Andy resolutely decided to play the part.

Following Dumbledore's script would also make it easier for him to ask Dumbledore for advice on magic in the future; it is even possible to have him introduce him to Nicolas Flamel.

Keeping a good connection with the Old Headmaster is still necessary.

No matter how he looks at it, he won't lose out!

Andy mused to himself, 'On a moral principle, I had a bit of a disagreement with Dumbledore before, but now I've changed a little…'

Well, there was no way Dumbledore would buy that.

But... it wouldn't hurt to try.

Turning over a new leaf?

A lost sheep returns to the herd?

These are all wise words passed down from the ancients.

The crux is in grasping human nature.

When a good person does one bad thing, they will be condemned by everyone. When a bad person does a good thing, they will be praised and glorified.

Flap, flap, flap—

Just as Andy was mulling over the situation, a large flock of owls fluttered into the Great Hall.

They dropped various items, such as letters, parcels, and newspapers, in front of the young wizard before flying off again.

Andy received a newspaper and a letter from home.

Opening the Daily Prophet...

"Just as I thought..."

The front page of the newspaper is dominated by the news of Voldemort's return—the Ministry of Magic has even managed to get their hands on a picture of Voldemort, which they have printed on the front page.

Next to the picture of Voldemort is a serious-looking Minister Bones being interviewed.

Wow –

An uproar erupts in the Great Hall.

The young wizards are appalled by the news.

The Dark Lord... has returned?

More than a month has passed since April Fools' Day, so the Ministry of Magic would not play such a joke, right?

But when they thought about what had happened in Azkaban...

Even if they did not want to admit it, the young wizards were now painfully aware of one thing:

Voldemort... has really returned!

At this moment, even the most carefree Weasley twins dared not joke anymore.

"This event is actually not without forewarning."

Someone exclaimed. "Do you remember the Ministry being invaded and Peter Pettigrew being rescued? The Death Eaters have been up to something."

"Oh, Merlin! The Dark Lord has been resurrected, and the craziest Death Eaters have all escaped." The situation left someone breathless.

"The wizarding world is going to be in chaos!"

"Is the war going to break out again?"

"…"

The young wizards chattered away, and there was some unrest in the Great Hall.

Andy paid no attention to all this and handed the newspaper to Hermione. "You read the newspaper first. My family has written to me."

"Okay!" Hermione responded.

"Quiet –"

Just as Andy opened the envelope, a loud voice suddenly overrode the noise in the Great Hall.

Dumbledore walked to the podium, looked around the hall, and said in a serious tone, "Everyone, I must convey this to you with the utmost seriousness... yes, Voldemort has returned!"

Wow –

The young wizards instantly started to murmur.

"Quiet –"

Dumbledore stopped the commotion and continued, "Just yesterday, as you know... Voldemort attacked Azkaban and freed all the Death Eaters."

"Everyone... a brutal struggle is about to begin!"

"..."

While listening to Dumbledore's motivational speech, Andy opened the letter sent to him by his family.

Sure enough...

Kyle contacted his relatives living abroad overnight and planned to use his position to take the whole family abroad to 'request' support from the international wizarding community.

Helen had even packed some luggage.

Andy quickly finished reading the letter.

"Sigh!"

With a sigh, Andy flicked his right hand, and the letter instantly ignited, disintegrating into ashes.

This letter cannot be kept!

But... it's good to leave Britain.

Because what Andy is about to do will indeed attract Voldemort's hatred.

'Looks like I really have to go home,'

Andy thought to himself. 'In addition to preparing the safe house, there are some things that need to be explained clearly.'

Andy is definitely not leaving.

If he flees this time, his reputation will definitely be ruined.

Of course, if he didn't have the strength, Andy would be the first to run.

But the thing is. Andy does have the strength!

Just yesterday, in Azkaban, Andy had a solo battle with Voldemort.

It's true that Andy is not yet Voldemort's match, but he can hold his own for a while.

As long as he has the Portkey, he can leave whenever he wants.

There's little danger!

If there's hardly any danger... then why bother running?

Andy is also planning to borrow the help of Sirius's house elf. With a house elf at his side, Andy would dare to go anywhere and fight anyone.

If that doesn't help, he can borrow Dumbledore's phoenix.

While Andy was thinking, Dumbledore had finished reading the motivational speech.

The effect was quite good.

At least Gryffindor was ready to fight Voldemort to the death!

"If the Dark Lord dares to come, then we will fight him to the end!"

The Gryffindors shouted in unison.

Many of the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs were also influenced by the motivational speech and were now full of fighting spirit.

As for Slytherin...

Slytherin was also very excited because their former lord, Voldemort, had finally returned.

But they have to hold back their emotions for now because this is not the time to celebrate.

***

After his speech, Dumbledore left.

He still had a lot to do.

The professors looked at each other, and everyone's face was grave.

But the professors didn't leave. They still had to calm the young wizards down.

"Andy, what's next?" Hermione asked in a low voice.

"Have to finish the meal, then attend class!"

Andy asked with a smile, "You don't think that if the Dark Lord had been resurrected, we wouldn't have to go to class, do you?"

Hermione: "…"

"As long as it's not the end of the world, life will go on as usual."

Andy continued, "Don't think too much about it; sooner or later we can get rid of the Dark Lord."

"Hm." Hermione relented.

Because at the moment, there was nothing else they could do except eat and go to class.

Sure enough…

When the time was almost up, Professor McGonagall walked up to the podium and looked at the group, saying, "Everyone, it's getting late; you should go to class."

"Ahhh..."

The familiar cry resounded through the Great Hall.

It was a cry of reluctance and utter helplessness.
