Hogwarts: The Unscientific Wizard (TL)

Next, Andy did not dwell on the topic of 'time' further.

Time...it's just too profound.

Without the corresponding knowledge base, everything is just guesswork.

Moreover, unfounded assumptions are often the most unreliable things of all. If your guess is even slightly wrong, you'll be a million miles away from the truth.

It's more important to find solid clues than to make wild guesses.

As for Harry's perspective, this is actually relatively easy to verify.

There is a time difference between when Harry fainted and when Voldemort broke into Azkaban.

In other words, Voldemort deliberately wanted Harry to know about it.

So here's the question.

If Voldemort's goal was to convince Harry of his prophetic visions, why was there a time difference?

Logically, Harry should have 'dreamt' of Voldemort attacking Azkaban as soon as it happened.

However, Voldemort only made Harry dream of it after he left Azkaban by some means.

Based on this logical basis, some questions become clear at once.

'Maybe... Voldemort's goal was to lure Dumbledore to Azkaban,' Andy guessed in his heart.

After thinking about it, Andy let out a sigh.

In the end, it was still because he wasn't strong enough.

If he was strong enough, Andy wouldn't have to guess about trivial matters.

It would be a lot more comfortable to just use the force to clear every obstacle in the level in one go!

***

Putting these questions aside for the time being, Andy and Hermione went to their afternoon first class together after spending some time reading.

After class, Andy went to the lavatory again to complete the exchange of identities.

Only now did Andy return to the normal timeline.

'More than ten hours...'

With his nerves somewhat relieved, Andy was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and take a well-deserved rest.

Dusk fell.

Once again, the day ended on an uneventful and pleasant note at Hogwarts.

Apart from Harry fainting in class, there had been no major drama. For the laid-back young wizards, this was enough to talk about for days.

At least nothing big happened today until the large flock of owls flew into the Great Hall...

At the Slytherin table, Malfoy was acting out the scene of Harry fainting over and over again.

His acting was excellent, and the Slytherin wizards were very enthusiastic. When the scene was at its climax, the Slytherin wizards laughed loudly and applauded enthusiastically.

Andy was also enjoying the show.

"Boring! And childish!" Hermione huffed a little unhappily.

"I bet Malfoy would become a world-famous actor if he ever tried. He really has a talent for comedy," Andy commented sincerely.

Hermione looked at Andy and said seriously, "Andy, the current situation is very dire! Even if we can't help, we shouldn't-"

"As long as the world isn't ending, we should just carry on with our daily lives."

Before Hermione could finish, Andy interrupted, "The more tense the situation, the more we need to relax. Being nervous won't help; it'll just make you make bad decisions..."

Flutter, flutter, flutter –

The Great Hall was still buzzing with excitement.

The young wizards were enjoying their dinner and talking about interesting topics in a loud voice.

Just then, a large group of owls suddenly flew into the hall.

"Why are the owls here?" Someone wondered.

"Is it the latest issue of the Daily Prophet? Is there some big news today?" Someone exclaimed.

Andy and Hermione glanced at each other, a flash of understanding visible in their eyes.

Voldemort has been resurrected.

Perhaps it really can't be kept secret any longer.

An owl flew by and dropped a copy of the Daily Prophet in front of Andy.

Andy quickly opened the newspaper.

The first thing that caught his eye was the ruined and empty Azkaban.

The headline read:

"Azkaban is once again under attack; all the prisoners have escaped. Is the Ministry of Magic still trustworthy?"

The following photos were related to the Dementors.

Anywhere the Dementor appears, the temperature drops rapidly, and people's happiness is sucked away in an instant. If someone comes too close to a Dementor, they may even have their soul devoured.

Dementors are therefore extremely dangerous, especially for Muggles who don't have any magical powers.

Muggles can't see Dementors and don't have any means of repelling them. Unless the Dementor is not interested in killing, a Muggle who encounters one will definitely die.

The Daily Prophet's photographs were, as usual, excellent.

They had captured many Muggles falling victim to Dementors and even captured the scene of a Dementor attacking a Muggle.

In addition to Dementors, the Daily Prophet's reporters had also captured many escaped prisoners - and, on a side note, the Aurors had not found them yet.

To be honest, these people are really wasting their talents by being reporters.

No! The journalists are no different from the secret agents these days.

"Dementors attacked a Muggle-" Hermione's face paled.

All her family members were Muggles, and they would not be able to defend themselves against the Dementors.

They would not even be able to see those monsters.

Andy squeezed Hermione's hand and found it a little cold.

"In the late evening, we can go to your house and set up defensive wards."

Andy said, "As for the daytime...you can ask them to take a few days off work."

"With the mass appearance of Dementors, it will be chaotic outside these few days. It would be best if you ask uncle and aunt to stay home until the Ministry of Magic has dealt with the Dementors."

Hermione's face eased slightly at this word: "Thank you, Andy!"

At this point, Hermione no longer cared whether she would be expelled for breaking the school rules.

Compared to such things, the safety of her family was, of course, more important.

"Your family... do you need to check on them?" Hermione asked in turn.

"They are wizards; they can solve these problems."

After thinking for a moment, Andy added, "When the summer holiday comes, I will use the Fidelius Charm to create a safe house, and I will be the Secret Keeper myself."

"If there is a full-scale conflict. Hermione, you can ask uncle and aunt to move to our place for a while."

"Thank you!" Hermione said gratefully.

After a pause, Hermione asked, "Andy, did the newspaper mention anything about the Dark Lord?"

"No…"

Andy said, leafing through the newspaper, "This issue of the newspaper seems to have been published independently by the Daily Prophet without prior consultation with the Ministry of Magic."

"We'll just have to wait and see how the Ministry reacts."

"If the Ministry announces the return of the Dark Lord, it may cause panic in the wizarding world. But if they don't... some people may lose all faith in the Ministry."

Hermione's face was also grave.

This was a huge crisis that threatened both the wizarding world and the Muggle world. She needed to prepare for it to protect her family.

"Andy, when are we leaving?" Hermione asked in a low voice.
