Hogwarts: The Unscientific Wizard (TL)

Chapter 636: Chapter 636: The decisive battle will take place within a year



Ah, this...

Andy touched his nose.

If Dumbledore hadn't reminded him, Andy would have almost forgotten that they had initially been trying to find a solution to Harry's situation.

"So, what do you think of my suggestions?"

Andy asked. "Modifying the Imperius Curse or controlling a Dementor... I think both are possible."

Dumbledore gave it some thought and nodded slightly.

It must be acknowledged that the Dementor did have the ability to solve Harry's problem. The Dementor's Kiss truly was the bane of all souls.

The only question left was how to protect Harry's soul from being devoured by the Dementor.

"You always have the most whimsical ideas... Collins."

Dumbledore said, "I will experiment with the effects of the Imperius Curse as soon as possible. As for you... I don't know how far you've progressed with your research on magic transfiguration, but this is dangerous magic at the end of the day."

"It's never a bad idea to be cautious."

Andy laughed lightly at this and shrugged his shoulders, saying, "Of course! After all, I don't want to turn into something like Voldemort."

"By the way..."

Andy suddenly said, "Professor, can we keep this between us? Before we make a move, can we keep it a secret from Professor Snape?"

"I'm still expecting his research results!"

Dumbledore: "..."

At this moment, Dumbledore truly felt a little bad for Snape.

Snape had been working tirelessly for months to come up with a solution to Harry's problem. Not only that, he also had to pretend nothing was out of the ordinary in front of Voldemort.

Especially during this recent period—Dumbledore had found Voldemort's Horcrux, and as long as the locket was destroyed, Harry would have a high probability of snooping into Voldemort's memories and thus finding the locations of the other Horcruxes.

This is a critical juncture, and the decisive battle may take place within a year!

However, there are still a few preconditions that must be met before the battle can take place.

First, they must ensure that Voldemort has no escape route.

Either he must die in battle immediately, or they must lead him to a battlefield where he cannot Apparate.

Either of these two conditions must be met.

Second, destroying all of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

This condition has been more or less met; now the only thing that's missing is an opportunity for Harry to do his part.

Third, resolving Harry's problem.

And these three conditions must be met within the same time frame.

In other words, they must first destroy the locket, allowing Harry to use his uniqueness to snoop into Voldemort's memories and find the location of the remaining Horcruxes.

Then they must destroy all of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

At the same time, Voldemort must be lured to a place where he cannot Apparate.

In this way, Voldemort will definitely die!

In order not to delay the decisive battle, Snape has now gone completely crazed.

Dumbledore recalled his last meeting with Snape, when he had a heavy black eye and looked like he hadn't rested in a long time.

And now, Andy wants to squeeze every last drop of value out of Snape.

Oh, poor Severus.

"Collins, I'm afraid that won't work."

Dumbledore replied. "But... I'll speak to Severus and persuade him to continue working on the potion with you after everything is over."

That's... fine!

Andy nodded. "It's a deal, then!"

As if he had thought of something, Andy suddenly asked, "Professor Dumbledore, is the time for our decisive battle with Voldemort drawing near?"

"Of course!" Dumbledore winked.

Andy thought for a moment and asked again, "But how are we going to lure him out... is it through Professor Snape?"

"There are many ways..."

Dumbledore laughed, "He was once my student; I still know a few things about him."

Andy: "..."

After going over the recent events in his mind, Andy suddenly realised that Voldemort seemed to have unwittingly stepped into a dead end.

"That's good!"

Andy sighed, "Solving Voldemort quickly will also allow me to study with peace of mind."

Dumbledore: "..."

***

Dumbledore had a lot on his plate, and after discussing a solution to Harry's problem, Dumbledore left quickly.

Andy stood in the same place for a while, repeatedly reviewing the conversation with Dumbledore in his mind.

"No rebuttal..." Andy muttered to himself.

To solve Harry's problem, Andy proposed two solutions in total.

The first was to improve the Imperius Curse.

The second was to continue with magic transfiguration and then use the magic of the death dimension to control the Dementor.

Dumbledore did not say no, but he did warn Andy not to be consumed by the power of magic transfiguration.

This meant that, in Dumbledore's view, the Dementor was indeed related to the death dimension.

This coincided with Andy's thinking!

Dementors feed on positive emotions, and positive emotions come from love in the heart.

Only with love can you be positive!

And the dementors can devour souls.

After connecting these clues, Andy once again came to the same conclusion – the death dimension has an interest in human love.

This undoubtedly reaffirms the power of love!

"Love!"

Andy's eyes lit up.

This is the direction to explore next!

"Phew –"

Andy let out a breath and apparated back to the World Cup venue.

"Andy, you're back!"

As soon as he entered the tent, Hermione and the others came up to him.

"How did it go over there?"

"Did everything get resolved?"

"What actually happened?"

They all asked at once.

"Don't worry so much."

Andy pressed his hand and looked at Mr Weasley. "Mr Weasley, how did it go over here at the venue?"

"Fortunately... although a lot of people were slightly injured, no one died. The only thing left to be sorted out is the compensation, and the Ministry has already assigned someone to deal with it."

"What about Dumbledore?" asked Mr Weasley.

"That side has dealt with it too. Professor Dumbledore called me for something else."

Andy thought for a moment and said, "Well... anyway, I don't know which part needs to be kept confidential, so you'd better ask Professor Dumbledore for the details."

"You know! There are some strategies involved in this."

Andy added with a nod, looking very serious.

Everyone understood what Andy meant.

A confidentiality rule was necessary to prevent information leaks.

During the last wizard war, they had suffered greatly due to Peter Pettigrew's information leaks.

Among the group, only Hermione gave Andy a critical glare.

You're just being lazy!

Hermione would never believe that Andy had a concept of 'secrecy'.

Er... okay! Andy is also capable of keeping secrets, but Andy will only keep secrets about things he considers important.

According to Hermione's understanding, in Andy's heart, Voldemort happens to be not in the category of 'important' - he is someone who can be teased and mocked casually.

Noticing Hermione's gaze, Andy discreetly pointed his finger in the direction of the door.

Let's go outside and talk.
