Hogwarts: The Unscientific Wizard (TL)

Dumbledore's face grew slightly serious when he heard about Sirius's situation.

The Cruciatus Curse... It made him think of some unpleasant events.

During the last wizard war, Neville's parents were tortured by the Death Eaters with the Cruciatus Curse to the point where they are still delirious and unable to live a normal life.

He hoped Sirius wouldn't suffer the same fate.

"I've done a few checks."

Andy continued, "Black was not under the Imperius Curse, and his memory was not altered, but it would be best if you double-checked."

Dumbledore nodded slightly.

Even if Andy hadn't said anything, he would have done the same.

"What about the others?" Dumbledore asked.

"What?" Andy was taken aback.

The other Death Eaters?

Dumbledore was surprised. "You didn't just capture Malfoy, did you? I only saw six of them escape."

Lucius Malfoy was a spy. What use was it to capture him?

Andy should have known that!

"Dead!"

Andy said nonchalantly with his hands spread out, "Completely dead, not even their ashes left."

Dumbledore paused slightly, looked at Andy over his shoulder, and said in a somewhat serious tone, "Mr. Collins, I think... it's time for us to have a good talk."

"About what?"

Andy asked calmly, "Professor, you can't expect me to hold back during a life-and-death battle, can you?"

Dumbledore remained silent.

Andy was right!

But Andy was only fourteen years old and still four years away from adulthood.

At such a young age, he could talk about killing so casually without being affected in the slightest afterwards.

It was as if... killing was just a trivial matter to him, like stepping on an ant.

At this, Dumbledore felt a sense of foreboding.

"Collins, you're a smart boy, so you should understand that in many cases, our bottom line will be broken from some trivial things."

Dumbledore said in a serious tone, "And killing is not a trivial matter!"

"Today, your opponents are Death Eaters, so you can kill them without any psychological burden. Then tomorrow, you will kill anyone you think is a bad person."

After a pause, Dumbledore suddenly let out a soft sigh and then said with a heavy heart, "In fact... I would not have this kind of expectation on other people."

"But you are different!"

"Collins... perhaps one day in the future, the only person who can restrain you in this world will be yourself."

"If you cannot restrain yourself, then the consequences you will cause may be even more disastrous than Voldemort!"

Andy raised an eyebrow on hearing this.

He has to admit Dumbledore's words did sound somewhat reasonable.

Do whatever you want; be unrestrained.

It sounds very cool, but if you really do that, the result will certainly lead to tragedy, both for yourself and others.

After thinking for a while, Andy asked in return, "Professor, what do you think I should do?"

Dumbledore looked at Andy and said slowly, "Before you decide to do something, you have to ask yourself, is it really necessary?"

"If there is a better way, you might as well try it."

Andy frowned at this.

The truth is often multifaceted.

If you look at things from different perspectives, the truth and conclusions you reach will naturally be different.

Take today's incident, for example.

Apart from murder, does Andy have a better way to handle such a situation?

In fact, he does.

But there are huge hidden risks in doing so!

On the contrary, if they just die, everything will be over.

Andy had simply chosen the easiest way out.

"Okay, I'll keep this in mind," Andy replied hesitantly.

Dumbledore didn't say anything more.

Any more words would just add to the tension.

Just then, the Ministry men had put out the Fiendfyre, and Minister Bones, accompanied by Scrimgeour and Mad-Eye Moody, walked over.

Harry followed behind them.

"Professor Dumbledore!" Harry greeted him.

"Harry!" Dumbledore nodded slightly.

Minister Bones was a witch in her forties. She looked at Andy with surprise and said in a shocked tone, "I've never seen such a powerful young wizard before. My goodness, that was the Dark Lord... You'll shock the entire wizarding world!"

"Maybe!"

Andy said with a light smile, "Hello, Minister Bones."

"Hello, Mr. Collins,"

Minister Bones said with a smile, "Have you considered working for the Ministry after graduation?"

Andy shrugged and replied with a smile, "Sorry, my dream is to become the Hogwarts Headmaster."

Dumbledore: "…"

Why?

Why is every talented wizard so obsessed with a job at Hogwarts?

Back then, when Voldemort had just graduated, everyone thought he would soon rise to become the next Minister of Magic. At that time, all the wizards who had graduated from Slytherin supported him.

But Voldemort's choice surprised everyone.

He applied to stay at school!

After failing in that job application, Voldemort went to work in a small magic shop. After resigning, he set off on a journey around the world.

Ten years later, Voldemort returned to Hogwarts, the school he had always longed to be at and applied to be a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, asking for an interview with the then Headmaster Dumbledore.

Unsurprisingly, his job application failed again.

So Voldemort began to recruit followers and formally embarked on the path of the Dark Lord.

And now, Dumbledore just felt that history was repeating itself.

Not only that!

Voldemort, who was so proud, had only applied for the Professor position.

As for the Headmaster position, he didn't consider it at all.

And Andy... he actually wanted to be the Headmaster!

What would he choose?

Dumbledore was a little distressed.

If Andy failed to get the job, would he become the Dark Lord too?

"Headmaster?"

Bones looked at Dumbledore and laughed, "Professor, it seems he admires you a lot."

Dumbledore: "…"

No! He just wants to become the Headmaster!

After a few jokes, the conversation finally turned to serious topics.

The battle at the Ministry of Magic was a great victory!

Voldemort fled in disgrace, and the Death Eaters suffered heavy losses.

When the news hit the newspapers, Bones was sure that the people of the wizarding world would regain their confidence and stand up bravely against Voldemort's tyranny.

What's more, it wasn't Dumbledore who had stopped Voldemort, but a third-year young wizard, Andy Collins.

There was no doubt that this would shake the entire wizarding world to its core!

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, the Ministry employees would never have believed such an outrageous thing.

Fortunately, they took some photos.

A picture would tell a thousand words!

When the photos were published in the newspapers, the wizarding world would definitely be shaken!

When Dumbledore appeared, Voldemort practically fled with his tail between his legs... This made Minister Bones feel confident about the upcoming battle.
