Hogwarts: This Wizard is Unscientific 67
by adminChapter 67: How Many Steps Does It Take to Get Someone into Hogwarts?
Leaving the Potions classroom, Andy’s face was beaming.
Snape, oh Snape, no matter how cunning you are, you’ll be drinking my bathwater someday!
Andy could swear that Snape’s student days must have involved some unspeakable things. Just looking at Snape’s current disheveled appearance, Andy knew his life script was definitely not that of a male protagonist. Maybe a tragic second male lead, or a school villain like Malfoy.
Based on what Andy knew so far, Snape seemed to have taken on the role of the school villain – he was insidious and sarcastic, and didn’t look like a good guy. It was only after some incident that Snape had a sudden awakening and turned over a new leaf. It was a bit like the cliché plot where the male and female leads work together to reform the villain.
Andy suddenly remembered the upside-down hanging bell charm Helena had taught him. This charm was invented by Snape, but was learned by a Gryffindor, who then used it to severely teach Snape a lesson. A Gryffindor girl, the upside-down hanging bell charm. If you put it all together…
“No way, right?” Andy was stunned by his own thoughts. If that were really the case, Snape was too miserable!
Of course, all this was just Andy’s speculation. Maybe the truth was as Helena said, Snape had tried to divide Gryffindor, trying to lure a Gryffindor girl into the Death Eaters’ camp, but was stopped by the Gryffindor four brave ones in time.
But there must be a reason for Snape’s reformation, right? Maybe it was love!
Andy felt he was getting closer and closer to the truth.
“Andy, are you alright?” Hermione rushed over when she saw Andy come out.
“Didn’t I tell you to go to the Great Hall first?”
Andy smiled, “Besides, Professor Snape, while having a terrible temper, isn’t a bad person.”
Today’s incident really made Andy look at Snape with new eyes. If one day Andy became powerful, and a much weaker wizard discovered one of his shameful secrets, Andy’s only answer would be the Memory Charm. But Snape didn’t do that.
According to Helena, Snape might have joined the Death Eaters, or at least intended to. This shows that Snape wasn’t a good person. But when faced with a young wizard who knew his ‘shameful secret’, he only warned him not to tell anyone. That was all!
“What did Professor Snape want?”
Hermione was still a little uneasy, “I almost went to Professor Dumbledore, but I think Professor Snape wouldn’t dare to do anything to you in Hogwarts.”
Oh no, now even Hermione doesn’t have a good impression of Snape. This kind of person should not be introduced to my aunt. Otherwise, I might be silenced by Aisha in a fit of rage.
“Let’s go, let’s go to the Great Hall for dinner!”
Andy said as he walked, “Professor Snape told me to be careful lately, he thinks Quirrell might retaliate against me.”
“Quirrell!?”
Hermione immediately became nervous, she looked around, “If Quirrell really knows that you incited Malfoy, he will definitely retaliate against you. Just look at Malfoy’s fate.”
“What do you mean I incited Malfoy? It was entirely his own doing!” Andy rolled his eyes irritably.
“Wasn’t it?”
Hermione glared at Andy, “If you hadn’t incited Malfoy, he wouldn’t have been attacked by Quirrell.”
Andy sighed, “I didn’t expect Quirrell to be like that. Hermione, don’t mention this in the Great Hall later, to avoid causing panic.”
“Mm! I know.” Hermione nodded.
…
When Andy and Hermione walked into the Great Hall, the young wizards all turned to look at them.
“Oh! Thank goodness. Andy, you’re still alive!”
Andy’s roommate, Antony, asked in an exaggerated tone, “How did Professor Snape make things difficult for you?”
The others were also curious. Andy had to admire the speed of rumour spreading in Hogwarts. Were these young wizards just idle?
“It’s related to our dorm.”
Andy said calmly, “Professor Snape asked me to tell you all to come over.”
“What?”
Antony, Michael, and Terry’s faces instantly changed. Even though Andy had returned alive, the three of them still didn’t want to meet Snape privately. Who knows what vicious methods Snape would use to torment them? They had already found out that Neville Longbottom from Gryffindor had been confined by Snape—Snape made Neville clean a toad’s stomach.
Michael’s legs were already trembling.
Hermione angrily punched Andy, “Professor Snape has something else to talk to Andy about, it has nothing to do with you.”
The three of them looked at Andy simultaneously; it was better to confirm this matter clearly. They knew Snape was terrifying. But if Snape really wanted to see them, and the three of them didn’t go—the result might be even more terrifying.
Andy shrugged and ignored them. Serves you right for running away first. What’s the most important thing in life? Loyalty! Look at Gryffindor. They may seem silly, but when things get tough, they really step up! What about you? When faced with danger, you all compete to see who can run fastest, right?
Antony, Michael, and Terry were greatly relieved. After calming down, they realized their backs were drenched with sweat.
…
Ravenclaw had a History of Magic class with Slytherin in the afternoon. Andy deliberately looked at Malfoy a few times in class, but he couldn’t see any flaws. Malfoy looked as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, but his spirits seemed good. Whenever he talked to others about being attacked, he always had a ‘I’m a hero’ attitude. As if being attacked by dark magic was a good thing.
The most crucial point was that some people actually envied Malfoy for being attacked by dark magic.
What could Andy say? That’s youth!
“He seems to be alright, right?” Hermione leaned over and whispered. Although the young witch disliked Malfoy, Malfoy’s being attacked was related to Andy, and she couldn’t ignore it.
“Mm…He seems to be doing pretty well.”
Andy leaned closer to Hermione and asked, “Hermione, you read a lot. I ask you, if you want to bring an outsider into Hogwarts, what would you do?”
“Besides using Polyjuice Potion and entering a box with a space extension charm, what other methods can you think of?”
This method was too obvious; Andy felt that Voldemort wouldn’t be so low.
Hermione looked steadily at Andy, silent for a moment, then suddenly said seriously, “I would apply to Professor Dumbledore.”
