Hogwarts: The Unscientific Wizard (TL)

When the black cloth was lifted, a bone-chilling wave of cold burst forth. The ground, with the stone platform at its centre, began to slowly crystallise, and the temperature inside the room began to drop rapidly.

If it had just been a chill, Andy would not have felt much.

But at that moment, Andy could only feel that all happy emotions had disappeared, and a negative emotion quickly took over Andy's mind.

Many sad memories flooded his mind.

It was a feeling that was hard to describe. It was as if there was only pessimism in his heart, and everything seemed pessimistic to Andy at the moment.

What happened to his previous life's family and friends?

If his current family and friends knew that he is a reincarnated person, would they still consider him as family as they do now?

Is it really meaningful to pursue the path of magic?

Everyone will die sooner or later, so why should I stay alive? If I die sooner, won't that save me a lot of time?

I won't have to struggle for 80 more years.

What a profit!

Too many negative emotions filled Andy's mind, making him wish he could just die.

In the past, Andy was afraid of death, but at this moment, he felt that death would be a kind of relief, his final destination. If he could throw himself into the arms of death sooner, he wouldn't have to struggle to stay alive anymore.

After about five or six seconds, Andy's fingers loosened and the black cloth fell down.

"..."

"Huff, huff, huff..."

After a moment of stillness, Andy began to pant heavily.

It was horrible!

Just now, Andy felt as if he had developed a severe case of depression. Everything in life had lost its appeal, and everything looked bleak to Andy.

'Is this the world of the dead?'

Once his senses gradually returned, Andy began to think calmly.

From a human perspective, the afterlife was terrifying, like a deep, dark abyss. If someone lost their ability to feel the joy of living, then they would prefer eternal death.

But if you looked at it from the perspective of the dead...

In Hogwarts, there were many ghosts, and they often got together and found their own ways to have fun. They even formed bands and clubs.

They don't have to eat or work (except for Professor Binns), and they don't have to worry about making a living at all.

In theory, they should be very happy.

But many ghosts have admitted that they are not happy.

For ghosts, every day spent on earth is an empty and tormenting life. The only reason they remain on earth is because of their inner obsession.

Becoming a ghost is a painful choice.

If they could, no one would want to become a ghost.

From this perspective, the environment of the world of the dead may be the most comfortable living environment for the soul.

Just as people cannot live in water, fish cannot live on land.

Every kind of life thrives best in its own suitable living environment.

With these thoughts in mind, Andy had no intention of continuing to lift the black cloth.

In those few seconds, Andy had already seen what was underneath the black cloth—it was a mirror, but what was reflected in the mirror was not Andy, but darkness.

If it weren't for the hint that had been set up in his subconscious using Occlumency beforehand, causing his body to automatically loosen its grip on the black cloth, Andy shuddered to think of what terrible thing might have happened next.

Maybe death!

'It's just that...'

Thinking of something, Andy frowned and opened the system panel.

[Constitution: 4]

[Soul: 5]

In theory, Andy has now merged with the magic of the death dimension, and this magic has merged with Andy's genes and become a part of him.

This is why Andy is unaffected by that numbing cold.

However, Andy is still unable to adapt to the environment of the death dimension.

'Is it because I'm still alive?'

Andy quickly made a guess.

Living people naturally have emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, etc., so they are fundamentally different from pure souls.

In Eastern mythology, stories, and lore, it is often mentioned that there are three virtual/ethereal spirits (about consciousness, self, and ego) and seven corporal spirits (seven emotions).

The three virtual spirits reside in the soul, while the seven corporal spirits reside in the body.

After death, the three virtual spirits will leave the body, while the seven corporal spirits will decay and disappear along with the body.

From this point of view, the legend about the soul is quite similar to the phenomenon in front of him.

In the lore and legends here, after death, the soul will go to the afterlife (heaven/hell).

Eastern and Western cultures are very different, but in many areas, there are a lot of similarities.

Andy pondered for a moment and finally muttered to himself, "That makes sense…"

Looking around, Andy felt a little helpless.

He had taken a huge risk to come here, and while the result could not be described as nothing, the rewards were minimal.

All he had gained were some theoretical insights.

The mirror in front of him might be a treasure, but Andy couldn't take it with him.

Despite being covered in black cloth, the mirror was still emitting cold air. What the black cloth really blocked might be the power that devoured happiness.

Even if he took it away, where would he put it?

'The laboratory?'

Just look at the environment of Azkaban!

There isn't even a blade of grass on this island.

If this mirror is taken to the laboratory, the surrounding environment is likely to undergo significant changes, causing widespread plant decay and death.

At that point, even a fool will know that there is something unusual there.

Several addresses flashed through Andy's mind.

Remote, surrounded by nothing but wilderness, and preferably devoid of plants.

A place that met these criteria...

'Voldemort's father's grave!' Andy quickly pinpointed the perfect spot to hide the mirror.

There was no one there.

What's more, Voldemort hated his father, and he wouldn't have set foot there if it wasn't for the resurrection.

Thinking about this, Andy felt a slight twinge of excitement.

After all, Azkaban is the Ministry of Magic's territory, and Andy probably won't set foot here again in the future—the next time he comes, he might be here as a criminal, locked up.

Andy believed that day would never come.

Therefore, he must take this mirror related to the dimension of death with him.

Today is a rare opportunity.

Voldemort's attack on Azkaban has left the place with an all-time low defence.

If he misses today, he will have to break into Azkaban to get the mirror.

He approached the mirror and studied it.

Andy carefully wrapped the mirror in the black cloth.

The chill was still radiating from it... The black cloth could block the power that devoured happiness, but it could only weaken the chill slightly.

Standing in the doorway, Andy took a deep breath.

The chill didn't affect Andy much; Andy even felt a little comfortable. But for the dementors outside, the chill should be enough to make the entire dementor horde riot.

'Maybe starting today, the dementors will all be moving,' Andy mused to himself.

Without further hesitation, Andy opened the door in an instant.

"Expecto Patronum!"

Andy shouted, holding his wand high!

As the wand swung, the Fat Cat Patronus condensed in an instant the moment the door opened.

Dementors... Today, I will show you what it means to be unstoppable and full of momentum!
