Hogwarts: The Unscientific Wizard (TL)

Time passed slowly.

At 5 pm, the Duelling Club's activities came to an end.

Overall, the Duelling Club could be considered a success.

Although most young wizards seemed a bit hopeless, there were quite a few notable exceptions.

For example, Hermione, Cho Chang, and Cedric all defeated their opponents swiftly and cleanly. It was clear that the previous training sessions had been very effective.

Apart from these few, there are also quite a few strong young wizards, but most of them are concentrated in the higher grades. It is really difficult to comment on the lower-grade young wizards.

In particular, many first- and second-year young wizards cannot even cast simple spells.

There are also some in the third year, such as Neville.

And there is Hogwarts' bombing genius, Seamus Finnigan.

He can turn any spell into a blasting curse, which almost claimed a life.

Andy also felt that he had learnt a lot.

Thanks to the Duelling Club, Andy had learnt a lot of interesting hexes and jinxes. These hexes and jinxes lacked any real killing capability, but they were great for causing mischief and tormenting people.

"Hey, Fred and George, I need to talk to you." As soon as the club ended, Andy went straight to the Weasley twins.

"Andy, what help do you need?" George asked enthusiastically.

The three of them could now be considered partners.

After receiving the reward for capturing Sirius, Andy immediately started working on the project of the Wizarding Amusement Park with the Weasley twins.

The three of them also planned to take advantage of the summer holiday to find out how the Muggle amusement parks operated.

"That Dungbomb of yours... can I buy some?" Andy asked directly.

Fred had wanted to use a Dungbomb in the Duelling Club before, right in front of Snape.

But the result was disastrous.

Not only did Snape stop Fred in time, but he also took the opportunity to deduct 20 points from Gryffindor and gave him a half-month detention.

"What do you want it for?" George asked curiously.

Hermione, who was standing next to him, also looked at Andy with a question mark on her face, and then her expression changed.

She thought of something bad.

"Voldemort has been resurrected..."

Andy said with a smile, "I'm going to use this against him if I get a chance, which will also help you guys get some free publicity. After Voldemort is dead, you can print his head on the packaging of the Dungbombs."

"It'll definitely sell in bulk!"

Hermione: "…"

"What a brilliant idea!"

Fred said excitedly, "To support you in your great cause against the Dark Lord, we've decided to give you some for free, all custom-made."

When Hermione saw this, she felt compelled to say, "Andy, the Dark Lord will kill you!"

She knew what Andy was planning.

But this would really earn him the ire of the Dark Lord.

Once Andy did this, he would truly be on the Dark Lord's hit list.

"Not this time," Andy explained to calm her down.

In the next battle in the Department of Mysteries, Andy had no intention of using the Dungbombs on the Dark Lord. Until he can match his strength, staying relatively low-key is better.

Attracting hatred is the job of the main character (Harry).

Andy merely felt like throwing a few Dungbombs at Voldemort if he got the chance, as a way of earning some achievements.

"What do you mean, this time?" Fred asked curiously.

"Nothing..." Andy didn't want to reveal any more.

George didn't press any further but said, "Andy, you'll have to wait a few days for us to make some preparations."

"Thanks," Andy said.

"You're welcome," George laughed.

Fred suddenly said with some dissatisfaction, "Andy, you really should have given Snape a tough time before. We all can see that he's no match for you at all."

In response, Andy could only shrug helplessly.

After chatting for a while, the two sides quickly ended the conversation.

Hermione continued to tirelessly persuade Andy to give up that crazy idea, which was too much of a hate magnet. Once the Dungbomb is thrown at Voldemort, he would do anything to kill Andy.

Andy naturally reassured her repeatedly.

He swore that he would only use the Dungbomb when Voldemort neared his death, or... when Andy became Voldemort's 'greatest fear'.

Andy was not really that crazy.

***

After the Duelling Club, life at Hogwarts returned to normal.

As for the outside world...

The Dementor mess had been dealt with, but Voldemort and the Death Eaters had simply disappeared. Even though the Aurors searched high and low, they couldn't find a single Death Eater.

Of course, they probably didn't bother searching thoroughly, either.

What could they do if they found Voldemort?

Rush in and throw their lives away?

And so, the wizarding world fell into a strange kind of peace.

But everyone knew that the current calm was just the calm before the storm.

Since Voldemort had been resurrected, war would come sooner or later.

Many people with relatives abroad chose to leave the British wizarding world. They had no confidence in their ability to confront Voldemort, and they had lost faith in the Ministry of Magic.

The Ministry, under the leadership of Minister Bones, had been actively preparing for war. Dumbledore also frequently shuttled between Hogwarts and the Ministry, occasionally disappearing for some time.

No one knew what he was busy with.

***

As the days passed, just when Andy thought Voldemort had given up on his original plan, on the third of June, Harry had another dream.

And this time, the dream was very clear!

Outside Hogwarts Castle, in a grassy area under the shadow of the castle, Andy, Hermione, Harry, and Ron gathered together again.

"You mean, Voldemort spoke to you in your dream?" Andy asked, a little surprised.

"Yes!"

Harry looked anxious, his eyes welling with tears. "He has Sirius! He told me to go to the Ministry of Magic and get the prophecy orb from the Department of Mysteries and trade it for Sirius."

"He also told me not to tell Professor Dumbledore, or he would kill Sirius."

Hermione was shocked and felt compelled to ask again, "Harry, are you saying that you saw Sirius Black being apprehended and that you had a conversation with the man in the dream?"

"Yes!" Harry said firmly.

Hermione looked torn when saying this. "Have you contacted Sirius? This could be... a trap."

"It's too late to write a letter."

Harry said solemnly, "Voldemort told me that I must act today! If I don't go to the Department of Mysteries today, he will kill Sirius immediately."

"And... I can't tell Dumbledore."

Hermione's face turned grave. Although she had long anticipated such a situation, it still exceeded her expectations.

"Andy..." Hermione looked at Andy, hoping that he could come up with a solution.

"Hmm..."

Andy pondered for a moment before saying, "Black... maybe he really was captured."

"If Harry just dreamed about it, it could still be a trap set by Voldemort."

"But Voldemort has already made his demands..."

That meant Sirius really was in Voldemort's hands.
