Hogwarts: The Unscientific Wizard (TL)

Ron was a little dazed by the pat, and Andy gave him another hard pat when he saw him open his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

Smack –

Shut up, mate!

At these times, Andy really missed his former university roommates.

They were true chums!

And they had good sense.

Sirius had been watching the situation, and when he saw this, he grinned and said, "The Weasley boy still hasn't grown up!"

Luckily, George and Fred were very perceptive. They came over with smiles on their faces and took Ron with them, wrapping their arm from each side.

Andy looked away and couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "This guy is crazy!"

While everyone was joking around, the match quickly began.

Compared to the Quidditch matches at Hogwarts, the World Cup was indeed of a very high standard. Both teams' flying broomsticks were Firebolts, which flew extremely fast, and the team members' coordination was also very tacit.

However, the gap in skills between the two teams was indeed a bit too prominent.

As soon as the match began, the Irish team kept scoring goals, and the Bulgarian team could only barely defend themselves, and soon the Irish team widened the gap.

After watching for a while, Andy felt that it was not very interesting, so he put down the binoculars and focused on snatching snacks from Isabel.

"Andy, it looks like we're going to win!"

The Weasley twins came up from behind at some point, and the two of them sat behind Andy, beaming with excitement.

"George, how did Bulgaria get to the finals?" Andy asked curiously.

This level is too far off.

Andy estimated that if the match continued like this, it would be over this afternoon.

And in that case...

Then the attack would take place tonight!

Now that the time of the attack had been determined, Andy planned to find an opportunity to send Isabel back.

The pocket enchanted using the undetectable extension charm was safe, but it was not 100% secure.

If something unexpected happened, Andy would regret it forever.

"Their Seeker is very good!" George explained.

I see!

Andy nodded.

"Foul! Foul! Foul!"

Just then, the cries of 'foul' swept across the stadium like waves.

The Irish supporters all stood up, creating a huge wave.

"Foul –"

Ludo Bagman, who was providing commentary on the match, shouted in unison, and his voice, amplified by magic, echoed throughout the stadium.

"Dimitrov has hit Moran—deliberately charged into him—that's a penalty—yes, the referee has blown the whistle!"

Andy nudged Hermione and asked, confused, "What just happened?"

"It's barbaric!"

Hermione exclaimed indignantly. "They don't care if the bat in their hands hits a person or the ball; they just swing wildly."

"The person just now almost knocked the other person off the broom."

Bravo!

Andy glanced at the score.

60:0

No wonder the Bulgarian team would resort to such unscrupulous tactics!

But the story was far from over...

The referee, who had been very fair, was about to give a penalty when he was 'attacked'.

The Bulgarian team's mascot is Veela, and they all swarmed around the referee and started dancing seductively.

Goodness, they're trying to seduce the referee!

Andy felt that this time he really hadn't come for nothing. A Quidditch World Cup was truly an eye-opener!

Andy quickly grabbed his binoculars.

Through them, he could see the referee acting very strangely. He was flexing his muscles, showing off his biceps and hairy chest, and running his fingers through his beard.

It was quite a sight.

A healer rushed onto the pitch and kicked the referee in the shin, which made him come back to his senses; she is probably his wife.

"A very unusual World Cup," Andy commented.

"Quidditch has many foul play tactics, but charming the referee... It's a pity that we Gryffindors don't have a Veela," Fred said with great regret.

Andy: "..."

Just then, Mr. Weasley finally returned.

"Arthur, what's the situation? What did Dumbledore say?" Lupin and Sirius hurried over to greet him.

Andy also got up and walked over.

"It's unexpected that the Dark Lord would attack here."

Mr Weasley said after catching his breath. "Dumbledore thinks that the Dark Lord may have another objective and that this attack is just meant to create some chaos on the surface."

"Dumbledore will hold off the Dark Lord, and the Ministry has also made arrangements."

"As for us... let's focus on protecting the children. If the situation warrants, we can provide support with the extra manpower we have."

This statement was nothing new, but it also made everyone feel much more at ease—after all, the person who said it was Dumbledore.

Andy then thought of Hermione's earlier speculation.

Voldemort's most urgent goal now should be to kill the three of them: Harry, himself, and Dumbledore.

Under this goal, everything else paled in comparison.

Next academic year, Hogwarts will definitely be on full alert, and it will no longer be as easy to get in and out of Hogwarts as it used to be.

No...it should be downright nigh impossible!

'Could it be another trick, like swapping places and sending an imposter?' Andy thought quietly to himself.

Using Polyjuice Potion to take the place of a student?

Or a professor?

But...why go to the trouble of attacking the World Cup venue for something like that?

What's he after?

Surely he can't just be doing it for kicks?

Andy was a little baffled, but he was also on his guard.

Next academic year... it might not be all smooth sailing!

Back at his seat, Andy patted Isabel on the shoulder and whispered, "When the match ends, I'll take you home."

"OK!" Isabel obediently nodded.

A big battle was about to break out, and she didn't even have a wand, so she couldn't help even if she stayed here.

"Andy, you have to take care of yourself when I'm not around."

Isabel said seriously as she looked at Andy. "If the situation gets dangerous, you have to run away quickly!"

Andy rubbed the little girl's head and laughed, "Just wait until you read tomorrow's newspaper! The headline will definitely be: Voldemort was squashed under my feet."

"Mm!" Isabel nodded.

Hermione came over and asked in a low voice, "Andy, something is wrong…isn't it?"

People always have a purpose in what they do.

Voldemort launched an attack… what is his purpose?

Andy nodded slightly. "Maybe the real danger is at Hogwarts. But Voldemort is in the dark, and we are in the light… so we can only react to the situation as it develops."

"Hermione..."

After a bit of thought, Andy decided to give Hermione a piece of advice: "Keep an eye on Sirius for me... He's teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts next year and was once captured by Voldemort."

"And, um... I'll take Isa home later, so I'll have the Patronus to protect you."

"Sirius!?"

Hermione exclaimed, covering her mouth in shock. "Do you think... there's something wrong with him?"
