The Cursed Hogwarts?

Chapter 40 The Cursed Hogwarts?

Are you sure?

Snape often couldn't understand what the greatest wizard of the twentieth century was thinking.

Dumbledore's mind, like his magical abilities, is unfathomable.

Andy was quite well-known among the professors; Snape had heard of him more than once, and Professors Flitwick and McGonagall had discussed the young wizard.

Snape even gave Andy Potions lessons.

He acknowledged that Andy was a very talented little wizard.

Hardworking, intelligent, mature, thoughtful, and serious... Although he can be a little unreliable at times, it is precisely because of this that Andy seems more like a child.

Otherwise, Snape would have thought he was facing an adult.

However, it is clear that Dumbledore has a different opinion of Andy.

"Yes, I've heard some things about Collins too. He's a very talented little wizard."

Dumbledore's tone was tinged with admiration for Andy, "Especially his thoughts on magic. It's astonishing that he's only eleven years old. That's something many adult wizards wouldn't even consider."

Snape looked at Dumbledore. If that were all, Dumbledore would never have asked him to pay attention to an eleven-year-old wizard.

"I collected some of the questions Collins asked in class."

Dumbledore continued, "I've discovered that he's studying the effects of emotions on magic, and the properties of magic itself. Some of his questions have even touched upon the soul..."

"This is a very dangerous thing."

"If we don't guide him, he'll become curious about black magic sooner or later."

Dumbledore had studied Dark Arts in his youth and possessed a thorough understanding of it. Therefore, he knew that Dark Arts could provide Andy with the answer he sought.

But this is undoubtedly dangerous.

Those who study black magic will eventually fall into evil if they do not turn back in time.

Snape was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand. If I have extra time, I'll keep an eye out for it."

"Then I'll leave it to you," Dumbledore said.

"Nakiro..."

"This is the wish of all Hogwarts students, and we should not stop it."

……

No one knew about the conversation in the headmaster's office, so Andy naturally had no idea that he had come into Dumbledore's sights.

Why?

Andy felt he had been low-key enough.

She doesn't cause trouble, doesn't make a fuss, and is usually even more well-behaved than Hermione.

What exactly do you see in me? I'll change it, okay?

Fortunately, Andy was completely unaware of all this.

If you don't know, you won't worry.

So Andy is very happy now.

library.

Andy found another book explaining the theory of magic. The author of the book died in a magic experiment, so the content of the book was very novel and completely different from those books that just read from the book.

Andy decided to spend the morning studying the book and then practice magic in the abandoned classroom on the sixth floor in the afternoon.

The red liquid inside the system sphere is increasing every day, which means Andy is making progress every day.

In two or three days at most, the red liquid will fill up, which will mean that Andy has gained another potential point.

The visible progress is undoubtedly something to be happy about.

Andy decided to first increase his [Charisma] and [Transfiguration] skills to 5 points, and then increase his [Mind] attribute.

Once the [Magic] attribute naturally grows to [3] points, then add the [Magic] attribute to it.

By then, if Andy can fully realize his talents, he will surely become a powerful figure in the magical world.

Andy did a rough calculation.

If Andy can maintain his current rate of progress and gain one potential point every ten days, he can raise his [Spellcasting] and [Transfiguration] skills to [5] points within four months.

At that time, Andy's speed of learning magic will increase further, and the red liquid in the system will increase even faster.

With this virtuous cycle in place, Andy felt he could become a god.

A few years later, even a one-on-one fight with Voldemort wouldn't seem like a problem.

Of course, all of this is predicated on Andy being able to realize his potential.

Having talent alone is obviously not enough.

We have to work hard.

Out of the corner of his eye, Andy caught a glimpse of black. Curious, he looked up and saw Snape pass by him like a gust of wind, heading towards the forbidden book section without looking back.

Andy was truly envious.

Being a professor must be great; you can freely borrow magical books from the restricted section.

Wait a minute! A professor?

Andy's eyes lit up.

If I stay at Hogwarts as a professor after graduation, will I be able to read all the books in the Hogwarts library?

How many books are in the Hogwarts library?

Andy didn't know.

However, in seven years, one can only see a tiny fraction of the whole picture.

But if Andy becomes a professor at Hogwarts, then Andy can watch it for a lifetime!

But now there is a very serious problem.

Andy glanced at Hermione beside him.

Andy didn't know if Defense Against the Dark Arts was cursed, but Hogwarts was definitely cursed.

From the principal to the administrators, everyone in the school has one thing in common.

single!

This is terrifying.

Andy likes magic, that's true. But liking magic doesn't mean liking being single.

Who doesn't like sex?

Besides, having sex but not having sex is completely different from not having sex at all.

"This shouldn't be a curse, right?" Andy scratched his head.

The curse from Defense Against the Dark Arts is relatively easy to verify; just ask an upperclassman, or wait two more years, and the result will naturally come out.

But the curse of Hogwarts…

"It's not impossible!"

"Once I get to know the professors better, I can arrange blind dates for them. If they both end up happily married, then the so-called curse is just them scaring themselves. But if they keep having unsuccessful blind dates..."

Andy secretly pondered how to break the curse.

"Perhaps I can find an opportunity later to ask Dumbledore privately."

Restricted Book Section.

Snape casually picked out a few books.

Having accepted Dumbledore's commission, Snape naturally had to take action.

He knew Andy often read books in the library, and he wanted to see what kind of books Andy usually read.

Snape had only glanced at it casually, but he still remembered what was written in the book.

The influence of soul power on spellcasting!

"So they're really studying the soul?"

Snape was obsessed with dark magic in his youth, and if it weren't for an accident, he might have continued down the path of dark magic until he could never turn back.

He knew all too well the horrors of dark magic, and even more so the immense allure of power.

Dumbledore was right.

This kid will become curious about dark magic sooner or later!
