Hogwarts: The Unscientific Wizard (TL)

Thursday, September 19th.

Andy woke up half an hour early today on purpose, cleaned himself up in the washroom, and gave himself a new hairstyle with hairspray.

"It's perfect!"

Looking at himself in the mirror, Andy was satisfied.

How could there be such a handsome man in this world?

"Merlin simply gave me the best of everything in this world, and that's really annoying."

Changing his clothes, Andy left the dormitory and found a sofa in the common room to sit down.

As their relationship grew more familiar, Andy and Hermione grew accustomed to going to the Great Hall for meals together, and the person who came out first would always wait for the person who came after them.

It was also a coincidence to mention.

Andy and Hermione basically have no friends except each other. Even roommates were merely more familiar.

So Andy had decided a few days ago to celebrate Hermione's birthday for once.

Ravenclaw has four classes to attend on Thursday.

However, due to class rescheduling, the morning Defense Against the Dark Arts class was moved to the afternoon.

This meant that from ten twenty in the morning to two in the afternoon, there were almost three hours or so of free time in between.

It was more than enough!

"Good morning!"

After sitting in the common room for a while, he saw Hermione walk out of the girls' dormitory in her Hogwarts uniform, with a stack of books in her arms, and with her hair looking a little messy.

"Why are you up so early today?" Hermione was a little surprised, she was usually the one who would wait for Andy here, and it was rare to see Andy get up early once.

"Maybe I didn't sleep well last night!"

Andy responded casually, then got up and said, "Let's go, there's still a whole lot of things to do today."

After breakfast and finishing his homework in the Great Hall, it was immediately followed by a lesson on Charms with the Gryffindors.

The young wizard's progress was slow, and the content of the Charms class was of little help to Andy.

Luckily, Professor Flitwick had a great personality and was the Head of Ravenclaw, so he was more than willing to answer some of Andy's questions that had nothing to do with the lesson.

That was the main reason why Andy was enthusiastic about his classes.

This included Professor McGonagall, who, although she was a bit strict, was not shy about giving Andy some extra guidance.

Although Andy could read books and learn on his own, there were many contents in the books that were obscure and difficult to understand. With Professor McGonagall's and Professor Flitwick's answers, Andy's learning progressed a lot faster.

If only Professor Snape could do the same.

Andy decided to wait until Christmas to give Professor Snape some gifts to bring them closer together.

After all, it wasn't like Andy had the Gryffindor prefix on top of him, so he wouldn't normally be targeted by Snape.

"Alright, this class is over for now!"

Hearing Professor Flitwick announce the end of the class, Hermione immediately packed up her books and suggested, "Let's go practice magic, I want to try the spell-casting techniques that Professor Flitwick just talked about."

"Great!"

Andy naturally had no objection, "But that classroom on the fifth floor is a bit small, I found a new secret base two days ago, let me take you to see it!"

"I don't think it's small?"

Hermione was a bit puzzled, but she didn't object, "Let's go take a look then!"

"Follow me!" After Andy finished speaking, he led Hermione out of the Charms classroom.

"Andy-"

A shout came from behind him, and by the sound of the voice, it seemed to be Ron. Andy pretended not to hear it and pulled Hermione to turn directly into a corridor.

"I think someone's calling you," Hermione said.

"Was there? Why didn't I hear it?"

Andy pretended to have amnesia, "Don't care, even if something is amiss, there's no rush for a while."

Bringing Hermione to the third floor of the castle, Andy stopped in front of the statue of the one-eyed witch.

"This is it, watch this, there's a mechanism here."

Andy said while pulling out his wand and tapping the statue, and recited under his breath, "Dissendium!"   

Ka ka ka!

The entrance to the secret passage slowly opened.

"There's a secret passage here!?"

Hermione exclaimed, covering her mouth, "We should tell the professor about this!"

Andy: "..."

Yes, that's very Hermione.

Flicking Hermione's forehead, Andy said nonchalantly, "Do you think the professors don't know about this place? They know! But secret passages at Hogwarts are meant to be left for the adventures of young wizards, maybe this one was even built by Ravenclaw."

"Ouch!"

Hermione covered her forehead and glared fiercely at Andy.

Andy continued to fool her, "Don't consider that Hogwarts has a lot of school rules, there's actually only one real school rule, and that's - don't ever get caught doing something bad."

"It's also a kind of practice for the young wizards."

"Take this secret passage, for example. Once we have experience exploring secret passages, then we won't be clueless in exploring some of the ancient ruins after graduation."

Hermione: "..."

She always felt that Andy was lying to her.

But thinking about the stairs in the castle, it didn't seem unreasonable to say that the secret passage was built by Ravenclaw.

Andy looked at Hermione with a sincere face, "Trust me!"

Hermione: I won't!

It's hard to believe you when you're like this, you're probably trying to trick me into going in to see some scary thing, aren't you?

After hesitating for a moment, Hermione decided to go in and take a look.

"If there are any dangerous mechanisms in the secret passage, we must tell the professor," Hermione said.

After sliding down the stone passage for about ten minutes, Andy and Hermione came to the bottom of the steps.

Walking up the steps and pushing through the sliding door panels, they reached the cellar of Honeyduke's Candy Shop.

"We're going up."

Andy raised his chin to signal Hermione and then walked up first.

Hermione followed carefully behind Andy, still holding her wand tightly in her hand. She didn't know if she was holding the wand for protection or if she wanted to take the opportunity to give Andy a hard blow.

Andy pushed open the flap of the door and had a look.

Good, no one was in the cellar.

"Hermione, come up here!"

Andy pulled Hermione out of the flap door, and used the Disillusionment Charm to make the two of them invisible first, and then sneaked out of the cellar.

While no one noticed, Andy pulled Hermione and ran out of the Honeyduke Candy Store as fast as he could.

"Welcome to Hogsmeade!"

Andy looked at Hermione with a smile, "This is the only pure wizard village in all of England's magical world, and there are many fun places to visit."

"Wanna go sit in the teahouse?"

Hermione looked at Andy, she was debating whether to give Andy a shot of Stunning Spell or Full Body-Bind Curse.

"Thanks!" Hermione suddenly rushed over and hugged Andy.

"Happy birthday, Hermione!" Andy said softly.

Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop is one of the major attractions of Hogsmeade.

It was famous not because the teahouse was elegantly decorated or because the food was delicious. The real reason why it was famous was - there was only this one teahouse in Hogsmeade.

No one stole business from it.

Andy led Hermione down the main street of Hogsmeade to the corner, "Let's get something to eat here first!"
