Hogwarts: The Unscientific Wizard (TL)

The more Andy thought about it, the more he felt that this was a very real possibility!

Where did magic come from initially?

Andy didn't know!

However, Andy believed that power like magic, which could make wishes come true in the real world, could never have belonged to humans since the beginning.

It didn't even seem to belong to this world!

However, once magic was fused with the mind, that power truly belonged to Andy—because the mind is Andy's own power.

There may be some hidden dangers when magic and the mind fuse, but a strong 'Will' is enough to suppress these dangers!

Looking at the system panel, Andy mused to himself, 'The [Magic] attribute should never exceed the [Will] attribute!'

It might be okay if the two are equal.

But if [Magic] ever exceeds [Will], something bad might really happen.

"Mr. Grindelwald!"

Andy asked curiously, "You always believed that wizards are superior, but is magic really a power that belongs to our world?"

"When you were young, you searched for the Deathly Hallows. Do you think the Death truly did exist?"

This question made Grindelwald momentarily dazed.

"Yes, the Death truly did exist!"

Unlike Dumbledore, Grindelwald answered this question without qualms.

"I once used the symbol of the Deathly Hallows as my own mark and sought the secrets of Death."

After a pause, Grindelwald looked around and said with a self-deprecating smile, "But as you can see, I have now given up on all this."

Andy said, "Do you really wish to give up?"

"Huh?"

Grindelwald looked at Andy with sharp eyes. "What are you trying to say?"

"Because I am equally interested in these secrets."

Andy said with a shrug, "But it's difficult to uncover all these secrets on my own. If I can find a like-minded partner... I think it might be a little easier."

Grindelwald leaned back and said in a light tone, "Maybe...but you'll have to rely on yourself."

Hearing this, Andy shrugged and ended the conversation.

Because the old man was obviously not prepared to provide Andy with free labour, he had his own ambitions and ideals.

"Let's end it here for today!"

Andy walked towards the boulder with the Two-way mirror and said softly, "Thank you for your advice; it's very helpful to me!"

Grindelwald said lightly, "It's a mutual help!"

Andy laughed lightly and turned off the Two-way mirror.

Next, it was time to find Dumbledore!

The question of love.

And the question of the Obscurial Credence.

Perhaps only Dumbledore could give Andy an answer to these questions.

Pop!

With a small pop, Andy Apparated in Hogsmeade. He looked around the street and then walked towards the Hog's Head Inn.

Creak –

With a small creak, Andy pushed open the dilapidated wooden door. Instantly, he reached out and swatted at the air in revulsion.

It was a small, dark, and very dirty tavern, and the smell of goat's urine was so strong that it made Andy feel like vomiting.

The old windows were covered in a thick layer of grime, and hardly any light came in.

The brick floor was also covered in centuries-old dirt. At first glance, Andy thought the floor was actually compacted mud.

Although some wizards are known to be less than hygienic, Andy had never seen anything as unsanitary or dirty as in this place.

It was truly awful!

It was morning, and there was not a single customer in the inn.

The owner of the inn, Aberforth Dumbledore, was sitting behind the bar, bored out of his mind. When he saw Andy, Aberforth said unkindly, "We're not open today. There's nothing here."

Andy looked at the innkeeper and said with a complex expression, "To be honest, it is really a miracle that this inn has not closed down."

"What do you know, young man?"

Aberforth snorted, "This inn has a history of several hundred years. It was once used as the headquarters during the Goblin Rebellion and was famous throughout the wizarding world."

Andy: "…"

Andy nudged the dirt with his foot. "I can see that it really does have a history of several hundred years."

The floor here hasn't been cleaned for at least a few hundred years.

"I know you, Andy Collins. You were all over the newspapers a while ago."

Aberforth looked a little impatient and said crossly, "What are you doing here?"

Andy looked in the direction of the upstairs and asked, "Is Professor Dumbledore here? I need to see him for something."

"No!"

Hearing that Andy is here to see his brother, Aberforth's attitude became even worse. "If he dares to come, I'll throw him out. You too...his students are not welcome here."

Andy shrugged and didn't care about his attitude. He went on, "Boss, if you happen to hear from the professor, please tell him that I need to see him for something."

Aberforth: "..."

You're just waiting for me to give in, aren't you?

Aberforth looked at Andy with unfriendly eyes. Ever since his brother had become Headmaster, the young wizards at Hogwarts had become really annoying.

"You want to see him?"

Aberforth suddenly asked. "Let me ask you, do you really know him?"

Andy laughed. "Isn't it only natural for a student to approach the Headmaster when they have a problem? Why do I have to know him?"

"Besides... I'm not interested in his stories. Unless, of course, they're about magic."

Aberforth snorted, turned his head to the side, and made it clear that he didn't want to continue talking to Andy.

Andy certainly didn't want to stay, either.

Since Dumbledore wasn't around, he would just go back and write him a letter and arrange to meet up with him again at a later date.

Creak –

Just as Andy was about to leave, the door to the inn was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Dumbledore... Albus Dumbledore walked in from the outside.

"Long time no see, Mr. Collins."

Dumbledore greeted Andy, then looked at Aberforth and chuckled, "You should be more considerate with children."

"Hmph!" Aberforth turned around and left.

Andy instantly understood when he saw his back.

Aberforth definitely had a way to contact Dumbledore; otherwise, Dumbledore would not have come so promptly.

"Good morning, Professor," said Andy.

Dumbledore invited, "We can go upstairs and talk. The upper floor is an inn, and there are quite a few spare rooms."

Andy: "…"

"Professor, may I ask..."

Andy's mouth twitched slightly as he asked, "Do people really pay to stay here?"

Dumbledore looked around at the sight and said helplessly, "I often remind Aberforth to pay attention to hygiene, but he just ignores me every time."

While talking, Andy and Dumbledore walked together towards the upper floor.

Pushing open a door, Dumbledore chuckled, "This room might be better. Aberforth cleans this place every day."
