Hogwarts: The Unscientific Wizard (TL)

"That doesn't sound bad either!"

Hermione shook her head, then suddenly chuckled, "Come to think of it, you now seem quite rich, don't you?"

If you're going to mention this, Andy 'Rich' Collins won't be able to pretend anymore.

Half Basilisk was sold for more than 50,000 gold galleons.

There was also the 10,000 gold galleon reward for capturing Sirius.

Andy can now be considered very well-off with more than 50,000 gold galleons in his hands.

It's not enough to start a big enterprise but it is more than enough to invest in a magic amusement park.

Hogsmeade is only a village, after all, making the land here very cheap. What's more, wizards can use magic, so building an amusement park is just a matter of waving a wand.

Andy's ambitions may be big, but he still needs to make a living.

Professor at Hogwarts, owner of an amusement park.

These two identities are enough.

While teaching students, he will continue to study and research magic and let the Weasley twins take care of the business matters, thus living a life of leisure.

If Hermione becomes the Minister of Magic in the future, he will also have some political influence.

If he has enough influence and power, Andy may even become the Leader (Supreme Mugwump) of the International Confederation of Wizards, just like Dumbledore.

Just dreaming about it is already so fulfilling!

Of course, for Andy, the most important thing is the books in the Hogwarts library—Andy plans to spend a lifetime studying them.

After wandering around the village for a while, Andy and Hermione both felt a bit cold.

Hermione suggested, "Andy, how about we go to Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop for a cup of tea?"

"Kay!" Andy replied.

"Collins –"

But before the two of them could move, someone suddenly called out to Andy from afar.

Andy and Hermione turned to look and saw Professor Lupin, dressed in a thick robe, hurrying towards them.

"I've finally found you."

Professor Lupin said, panting, as he walked over. "Collins, have you seen Harry?"

"Erm…I saw him two hours ago, and I used the Patronus Charm to let Professor Dumbledore know," Andy said.

Professor Lupin hurriedly said, "I know, it was Dumbledore who told me to find Harry. What I'm asking is, have you seen Harry since then?"

"No," Andy shook his head.

Professor Lupin's face turned ashen from worry. "After receiving Dumbledore's message, I came to Hogsmeade to look for Harry. I searched all over here, but I didn't even see Harry's shadow."

"I thought he had gone back to the castle, so I went to the castle to look for him, but Harry wasn't there."

At the end of the sentence, Professor Lupin's tone even changed a little.

He was both angry and worried at the same time.

Professor Lupin knew exactly what kind of situation Harry now found himself in, which made him even more exasperated with Harry's behaviour.

James and Lily had died protecting Harry, but Harry didn't cherish this hard-won life at all. With every risky adventure, Harry was letting down his parents.

But Harry had now gone missing.

Even if he wanted to reprimand Harry, he would have to wait until they found him.

Andy and Hermione exchanged a glance.

Harry is missing?

"Professor Lupin, don't worry."

Hermione quickly reassured him, "When Andy and I saw Harry, he used the Disillusionment Charm to become invisible. Maybe he's still invisible; that's why you can't find him."

Professor Lupin shook his head and said anxiously, "That's impossible! It's too cold for Harry to be wandering outside for so long."

That's true!

It's been more than two hours; Harry can't have been wandering around invisibly the whole time.

What could he possibly be doing on his own?

Andy suddenly felt a little speechless.

What was Harry's plan?

Sending his head all the way here—what a thoughtful gift!

"We can't keep looking like this."

Andy suggested. "Professor Lupin, do you have any of Harry's belongings? We can try to find him using the tracking spell."

Professor Lupin shook his head. "I unfortunately have none."

That's a dilemma!

There's a prerequisite for using the tracking spell, that is, you need to have an object belonging to the person you're looking for—for example, a hair or a thread from their clothes.

Put simply, the tracking spell uses something belonging to the target to trace their location.

A thread from a garment can only be used to locate that garment. If the target takes off their clothes, there's no way to find them.

"Then we'll have to use the stupid method."

Andy said, "Let's split up and look for him!"

"Collins, thank you," said Professor Lupin in a grateful voice.

Andy smiled and said, "Don't mention it; Harry is my friend too."

After that, Andy smiled apologetically at Hermione, "Hermione, it looks like we won't be able to go to Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop for tea."

Hermione said with a serious expression, "We can have tea anytime, but finding Harry is a more pressing task now."

Professor Lupin patted Andy on the shoulder and said, "When we find Harry, I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat. But forget Madame Puddifoot's Tea Shop; it's a place for romantic dates."

"Thanks," Andy said.

Time was running out. After exchanging some clues with Professor Lupin, the three of them split up to look for Harry.

But Andy knew very well that all this searching would be pointless.

Although Andy didn't know the exact time Harry had disappeared, he guessed it must have been at least an hour since.

After such a long time, Harry would have probably already been buried.

Still looking for Harry?

What a waste of time!

Whether Harry was still alive depended on Dumbledore's plan.

Or maybe Harry would activate the Portkey Andy had given him.

If Dumbledore messed up or Harry didn't get the chance to use the Portkey, then Andy would be able to go to Harry's grave and light a candle for him.

As for why Andy volunteered to look for Harry...there was no choice. This was just the way the world worked.

Professor Lupin had already found Andy, so Andy couldn't just stand there and do nothing.

In this world, we are all connected in one way or another, and we have to do things we don't want to do.

"Where are we going to look for Harry?" Hermione asked.

Andy thought for a moment and said, "We've been wandering around the village a few times, but we haven't seen even a trace of Harry. Well...let's go to the castle and have a look first!"

It's mainly because the castle is warm.

The little witch was completely unaware of Andy's lazy thoughts. After hearing Andy's suggestion, the little witch nodded innocently, "That's good! Maybe Harry has already returned to the castle."

"Speaking of which... when we met Harry before, we should have sent him back to the castle."

Hearing this, Hermione was also a little angry. "He clearly knew that he would be in danger, but he still went around creating trouble for others."

"That's just the way Gryffindors are, you know."

Andy shrugged and said, "Gryffindors admire heroic individualism. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but at least they should use their heads a bit."

As the old saying goes, a body without a head is dead.

That's why heroism often affects those around them and gives them courage.

But you have to use your head!
