Hogwarts: The Unscientific Wizard (TL)

Andy could no longer remember how long it had been since he had 'accidentally' encountered Dumbledore during his night walk.

He could still remember that in his first year, he had hoped that Dumbledore would appear every time he went on a night walk so that he could ask him a few questions about magic.

But now, when he thought about it, he realised just how naive and foolish he had been.

Was the old bee really that deluded?

Besides, Andy was now a completely different person.

The Two-way mirror in his pocket gave Andy the confidence he needed.

In other words, he had a portable grandfather from whom he could ask questions about magic at any time. What's more, the other person was in Nurmengard, so he couldn't possibly plot against Andy without gathering his own men in Britain.

As for Dumbledore?

Heh!

With Grindelwald around, who needed Dumbledore?

So Andy didn't want to run into Dumbledore at all.

"Good evening, Professor Dumbledore," Andy said with a smile.

After all, Dumbledore is the Headmaster and holds the power to deduct points and assign detention. Andy felt it was better to be on the safe side.

"Good evening, Collins,"

Dumbledore made his trademark wink, "I didn't expect you to be awake, too."

"Haha!" Andy smiled faintly.

Anyway, Dumbledore doesn't know the meaning behind this 'haha' so Andy can freely laugh at him to show his despise.

"Professor, I must clarify something."

Andy shrugged and said, "I didn't take a night walk. I was just practising magic in the Room of Requirement and lost track of time."

"Of course, I know," Dumbledore nodded, sincerely indicating that he believed him.

"Then…" Andy tried to sound a little uncertain.

Since you're not here to punish me for a night walk, I can go back and sleep, right?

Dumbledore smiled and said, "It is indeed getting late. Collins, you should go back and sleep."

Andy: "..."

So what are you doing here tonight?

Is this really just a simple coincidence?

Andy wanted to leave.

But...

There were two kinds of people Andy hated most in this world, and the first were riddle-speakers who would only say half of what they ought to say.

Anyone would be curious.

Andy really didn't want to get involved with Dumbledore, but since you're here, it wouldn't be too much to satisfy my curiosity, right?

Moreover, Andy was very confident in his own strength.

Even if Dumbledore really wanted to arrange for him to play in some plot, Andy felt that he had the strength to turn the table.

After all, Andy was not like Harry, Sirius, and the others.

Andy did not have such a strong sense of responsibility and justice.

As long as I have low moral standards, no one can use morality to blackmail me.

Thinking along these lines, Andy hesitated for a moment.

But it was only a moment!

"Good night, Professor!"

After saying that, Andy took a step and walked away, and he walked in a way that showed no concern—just like a scumbag who abandons his spouse and children.

Andy was indeed curious about Dumbledore's intentions, but that didn't mean he had to learn about it from Dumbledore's mouth.

All Dumbledore wanted to do was kill Voldemort.

Knowing his ultimate goal, some things could be deduced by simply reversing the process.

Let's think about what happened recently.

Harry had a dream about Voldemort.

And Voldemort wanted to get the prophecy orb about him and Harry.

So what Dumbledore wanted to do must also be related to this matter.

'Does he need my help?' Andy guessed in his heart.

"Good night, Collins!" Dumbledore's voice sounded from behind.

He didn't stop Andy or say anything more.

It was as if tonight's encounter had really just been a simple coincidence.

This made Andy even more vigilant!

Dumbledore watched Andy's fleeing stride and couldn't help but feel a little amused and a little disheartened.

As Headmaster, it was undoubtedly a failure not to be trusted by his own students.

Once Andy had faded into the distance at the end of the corridor, Dumbledore looked away and turned towards the Headmaster's Office.

He hadn't said anything tonight.

But he had actually said everything.

His coincidental encounter with Andy tonight was actually a hint.

Dumbledore believed that Andy, with his alertness and intelligence, would immediately realise the point—he had to take action!

Andy knew a lot of secrets and also had great power.

His great power also gave Andy enough self-confidence.

What's more, Andy was full of curiosity.

Dumbledore was convinced that Andy would investigate his motives and find out what he intended to do.

All because Andy was confident in his own abilities!

This was a good thing, but it was also a bad thing.

Once you get involved in something, how can you just walk away?

Sometimes you can't avoid getting involved.

Sometimes the stakes are so high that you just can't walk away.

In fact, Dumbledore didn't want to get Andy involved.

But he had no choice.

Just look at Harry's friends!

Ron is one, and then there's Neville.

Fighting side by side? Don't even think about it!

Using their brains? Forget it!

In these circumstances, what else could Dumbledore do but seek help from outside?

Of course, he can stop Harry.

But if he stops Harry this time, there will be another time.

Voldemort will never give up until he has achieved his goal.

Under these circumstances, the only thing Dumbledore can do now is to actively confront Voldemort.

If he avoids the confrontation, it will only make Voldemort more rampant.

On the contrary, if Dumbledore can defeat Voldemort, Voldemort will really calm down for a while.

Dumbledore has the Phoenix, so he can provide support at any time.

But no matter how quick he is, he may not be as quick as Harry in delivering his head.

Under these circumstances, Andy is the only choice.

***

On the other side, after returning to the dormitory, Andy immediately activated the 'self-examination' mode.

Tonight's encounter made Andy a little wary.

But also a little thrilled.

As the saying goes, when you become powerful, your ego will grow accordingly – for details, please refer to Nouveau riche and lottery winners showing off their wealth.

This is only natural!

Only when you are dominant for a long time will you understand the value of being humble.

'It seems that Dumbledore and Voldemort are really going to fight!'

Andy had figured it out on the way back.

If anyone was Dumbledore's biggest worry at the moment, it would definitely be Harry.

'What about my benefit?'

Andy frowned slightly. 'What makes Dumbledore think I would help Harry? Is it because of our ridiculous friendship?'

"Huh?"

Andy suddenly remembered something.

The day Harry was kidnapped, he and Snape had made a promise – If Voldemort really went to the Department of Mysteries, he would let him know.

'Could it be that... Snape sold me out?'

'No! There was an Unbreakable Oath that bound Snape to secrecy about the Department of Mysteries. Snape couldn't have told anyone about it.'

'...Then things are getting interesting!'

Andy pinched his chin, a little curious.

'Why did Dumbledore think he could make me work for him?'
