Hogwarts: The Unscientific Wizard (TL)

'This masked man...' Andy's expression grew rigid.

Just by looking at the man's attire, Andy already guessed who he was.

That person was wearing an all-black robe with cloud-like flame patterns, with a yellow spiral mask on his face, revealing only one eye, which faintly shone with a scarlet glow.

Brother Tobi, is that you?

This attire is obviously a cosplay of Uchiha Obito.

But...big brother, you've entered the wrong set!

The Naruto set is next to the next door, and it's not even in the same world as this one, with a completely different style of drawing and setting.

Andy didn't know what to say for a moment.

In this world of Harry Potter, there is obviously only one person who can cosplay Uchiha Obito.

That is Andy Collins himself!

What the hell happened in the future?

Hermione died?

Am I going to create a world with Hermione?

'Is that the future me?'

Andy thought to himself, 'The future me dressed like this, obviously to hint to me, the present self.'

'But...what on earth is the future me thinking?'

'If it was just about saving someone, then at the moment Dumbledore and I are both in Azkaban, so there is no need for the future me to go to all this trouble and use the Time Turner again.'

'But if it wasn't about saving someone...'

Andy's eyes narrowed slightly.

If his future self wasn't there to save someone, then the reason he came to Azkaban was obviously to find out some secret.

What had I discovered?

And when?

As the masked figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, Andy looked sideways at Dumbledore next to him and tentatively said, "Professor..."

"He found us."

Dumbledore frowned slightly, then whispered, "Let's go and check out."

Andy nodded lightly, which was exactly what Andy wanted.

Perhaps he would soon find out why the future Andy had come.

***

Three hours later.

Hogwarts, lavatory.

Having completed the exchange of identities, Andy and Dumbledore walked out of the lavatory one after the other.

"It went surprisingly well."

Andy said with a normal expression, "Although some Aurors were killed, others survived."

"This is already the best news."

"But...who was the masked man? Professor, do you have any suspects?"

Dumbledore's face looked a little serious.

The masked man was unexpectedly powerful. In Dumbledore's judgement, this person's strength was even higher than that of Snape, which was already the limit that an ordinary wizard could achieve.

But that wasn't the most important point.

Dumbledore thought of another thing—the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries had been invaded many times.

Dumbledore had suspected many people.

Snape had reported that the invasions of the Department of Mysteries were not the work of Death Eaters.

So Dumbledore had suspected Andy.

But at the beginning of the third year, Andy had signed up for all the elective classes to get the Time Turner.

This undoubtedly proved that Andy had not been to the Department of Mysteries.

So the case remained unsolved.

Until today, until the masked man appeared, Dumbledore had no new suspect.

Perhaps... the person who invaded the Department of Mysteries was the masked man. Or perhaps it was the organisation that the masked man belonged to.

That black robe with cloud-like flames was obviously not an ordinary robe.

The strange pattern might have some symbolic meaning.

Dumbledore had a vague feeling.

A huge conspiracy had enveloped the entire wizarding world!

An unknown organisation.

Unknown purpose.

This organisation was perhaps even more dangerous than Grindelwald once was, and Voldemort is now.

Grindelwald was an idealist, and Voldemort is a terrorist.

Although these two men can be considered fearsome, what their actions aimed at was nothing more than reforming wizarding society.

But this unknown organisation is different.

Their first public action was to invade the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries, where many of the wizarding world's secrets are hidden.

And this time, the masked man was also after the secrets of Azkaban.

Saving the Aurors was just a coincidence.

Dumbledore judged what that organisation wanted might be some kind of forbidden magic.

The pursuit of magic is not necessarily evil.

Many people in the wizarding world pursue magic.

What is really dangerous is magic involving forbidden force.

The thought of this possibility made Dumbledore feel slightly heavy.

However, Dumbledore was not a person who would condemn without investigating.

Before those people actually did something evil, the only thing Dumbledore could do was find out the origin and purpose of those people.

What a troubled time!

Voldemort's matter has not yet been resolved, and now there is a mysterious masked man and an unknown organisation.

"Collins..."

Dumbledore's tone was slightly serious. "I must go to the Ministry of Magic immediately."

The cloud-like fire pattern...

In many cultures and religions, the burning cloud pattern symbolises hope and a bright future.

But looking at the masked man, Dumbledore could not see the slightest trace of hope or goodness.

There was only evil!

Perhaps the masked man's vision of a bright future was not so bright for others.

Dumbledore decided to communicate with the Ministry of Magic and find out the origin of the masked man and their purpose as soon as possible.

"Of course, please feel free," Andy said nonchalantly.

Dumbledore nodded, and then a flash of light flickered across his body, and he instantly disappeared.

"Professor?" Andy called out softly.

"…"

The corridor was empty.

After standing still for a moment, Andy straightened his clothes and walked quickly towards the underground floor.

Thump, thump, thump –

"Come in!"

Entering Snape's office, Andy closed the door behind him. Then, with a flick of his fingers, the office door was locked.

Snape's face was cold.

He had been in a bad mood lately.

"Professor, I need a vial of Polyjuice Potion." Andy got straight to the point without any nonsense.

Snape glared at Andy: Do we know each other that well?

Andy winked: Professor, we're on the same side.

Snape: "..."

He swung his wand, and a cupboard on the right side of the office slammed open. A vial of potion flew out of the cupboard and landed in Andy's hand.

Andy opened it, sniffed it, then closed it and put the vial in his pocket. "Thanks."

"Collins...are you going to Azkaban?" Snape asked in a cold tone.

"Mm-hm!" Andy answered.

Snape was silent for a moment and then said mockingly, "I really didn't think you would do such a thing."

"You're thinking too much..."

Andy smiled faintly and said softly, "Professor Dumbledore and I just returned from Azkaban. I'm going there now for other things."

"Anyway, thanks for the Polyjuice Potion...and please keep this a secret."

Andy made a 'shushing' gesture.
