Hogwarts: The Unscientific Wizard (TL)

Dumbledore pondered for a moment upon hearing this and then nodded slightly, saying, "It is indeed possible."

Andy glanced at him and then stopped talking.

Today's events were a bit strange.

Andy and Dumbledore had gone back three hours in time and Apparated at Azkaban to rescue the Aurors... There was nothing strange about that.

But Andy had never intended to rescue anyone.

Dumbledore had a reason to rescue the Aurors, but he kept hinting that Andy had done it on his own initiative.

Eliminate the conspiracy theory—given Dumbledore's status and power, if he really wanted to save someone, he certainly could have done so openly.

It's just a matter of borrowing the Time Turner, after all!

But judging from Dumbledore's behaviour, he really did suspect that Andy was the masked man.

So, eliminating the conspiracy theory, Andy is sure that Dumbledore is also confused right now, not knowing who the masked man really is.

This is the most bizarre part of the whole thing.

In a situation where neither Andy nor Dumbledore had thought of saving anyone, there happened to be a masked person who could hold his own against Voldemort and save those Aurors.

Andy no longer doubted Dumbledore.

Because Dumbledore didn't need to wear a mask to conceal his identity.

What was he afraid of?

There was a silence of about ten minutes, and Azkaban remained calm.

Andy could no longer hold back his curiosity and asked again, "Professor, what we think now... or what we do now can affect the future, right?"

"That's right!" Dumbledore nodded to confirm.

But before Andy could ask any more, Dumbledore continued, "But you're missing one point. That is, other people and even the surrounding environment will all affect your actions and the outcome."

"For example, this time..."

"You didn't want to get involved, but the letter sent by the Ministry to me made you come to Azkaban to make sure the masked man would appear at the designated time."

Andy nodded slightly.

This is an easy concept to understand.

As the saying goes, when you're in the middle of a river, you can't help but swim.

In most cases, we are pushed forward by the situation. Because as long as you are alive, you will definitely be influenced by some factors.

For example, you want to stay up late to play games, but your body will make you sleep or die suddenly.

"Is this fate?" Andy asked.

If this is called fate, then fate is not so scary.

"You can understand it like that," Dumbledore said.

Andy's brow furrowed slightly, and his face lost some of its brightness. "Professor, isn't this just self-deception?"

"Collins..."

Dumbledore's tone was slightly serious: "Even if you dedicate all your time, you cannot explore every corner of the earth. What's more, the Earth is just one planet in the universe... It's ordinary and very small."

"This is not self-deception, but the only way you can rationalise it."

Andy was at a loss for words!

Indeed, the topic of fate was too grand for a mere human to comprehend.

"Professor, wizards can predict the future and use curse magic to interfere with fate..."

Andy said with some unwillingness, "Maybe these are just a drop in the ocean, but we have already touched the boundaries of fate."

"This is indeed good news," Dumbledore said.

Andy: "..."

OK!

Andy decided to give up arguing with Dumbledore on this topic.

The two men's views were very different.

In the end, Andy felt that he was still influenced by the sentence, 'My destiny is in my own hands.'

Or perhaps it was a difference between Eastern and Western cultures, stories, and lore.

The attitude of the West towards God is: Lord, please guide me through this difficult time.

But the Taoism of the East is different. The attitude of Taoism towards God is generally: I need your help now, God, so I summon you to protect me or attack my enemy!

The Taoist worships God, but when in danger, they will summon God to protect them in the stories.

It's the same principle as the old saying: A friend who risks his life for you is more valuable than a friend who cares only about his own safety.

Andy stopped talking, and after seven or eight minutes of silence, Dumbledore suddenly said, "They're here!"

After that, Dumbledore waved his hand lightly, and the two of them instantly turned transparent.

In the distance, Voldemort and a group of Death Eaters materialised in the open space in front of Azkaban Prison.

Andy looked up quickly.

Voldemort didn't bring many people with him, just four.

Peter Pettigrew, Barty Crouch Jr., and two Death Eaters wearing masks.

Including Voldemort, there were only five people.

However, given Voldemort's strength, even if he were not accompanied by anyone else, he would actually be more than enough to overpower everyone in Azkaban.

Andy didn't know how many people the Ministry of Magic had stationed at Azkaban, but if Voldemort were the supposed enemy, then the Ministry would surely have stationed lots of elites at Azkaban.

Next, there might be a big battle!

Andy was a little looking forward to it, as he could finally get a glimpse of Voldemort's true strength.

He was curious about how much of an advantage wizards of Voldemort and Dumbledore's calibre had over ordinary wizards.

However, Andy was greatly disappointed by the performance of the Aurors.

In front of the gates of Azkaban Prison, two Aurors were talking to each other while guarding Azkaban.

Voldemort and his entourage appeared very suddenly, catching the Aurors off guard.

One of the Aurors was about to ask a question, but his expression instantly changed when he saw Voldemort's face.

"The Dark Lord!"

The Auror shouted out Voldemort's alias in shock, and the other Auror was also dumbfounded.

They looked at Voldemort in a daze, as if they had forgotten where they were.

As Aurors trained by the Ministry of Magic, they didn't even take out their wands at this moment.

Voldemort gave a sinister smile, raised his wand, and did not act quickly.

"Avada Kedavra!"

As the incantation was uttered, one Auror lost his life on the spot.

The other Auror finally reacted, taking two slow steps back before turning sharply and running, as if the idea of 'resisting' had never even entered his mind.

Voldemort watched with smug satisfaction.

After the Auror had run a few steps, Voldemort swung his wand, and the Auror fell to the ground with a thud.

Scarlet blood flowed all over the floor.

What the...?

Andy looked up at Dumbledore in shock.

"Many people lost their courage in the face of Voldemort."

Dumbledore said slowly, "Even during the years when he disappeared, people still dared not say the name Voldemort."

Andy nodded slightly.

Only at this moment did Andy clearly realise just how much fear Voldemort instilled in the people of the British wizarding world.

Not to mention resistance; they didn't even dare to utter his name.

Wait, wait a minute...

Andy asked hesitantly, "Professor, did you just..."

Did you say the name 'Voldemort'?

Didn't he enchant his own name?

Dumbledore winked playfully at Andy, what are you so shocked about?

Isn't it just a name?
