Chapter 4 Hermione and one of her two useless men

"Merlin! You are reading at home again. I dare say you will be sorted into Ravenclaw. My mother said so too. She always hoped that I could be like you. New"

Ron looked exaggerated, but then he realized that something was wrong, and changed his words: "I'm not saying it's not good for you to be like this, I mean - we haven't gone to school yet, haven't we?"

From Ron's tone, it sounded like he would study hard when he goes to school.

Although Andy has not seen the follow-up movies of "Harry Potter", he has heard from a friend that the real content of this movie is actually "Hermione and Her Two Useless Men".

It's like "Little Fish and Flowers" is actually "Survivor List".

"I prefer reading books."

Andy explained casually, invited Ron to sit on the sofa, and asked, "What can I drink, orange juice?"

"certainly!"

Ron said enthusiastically: "How about playing Quidditch later? I brought a broom and wrote to Charlie to learn a lot of secrets."

"You said the same thing last time." Andy shrugged.

Andy actually understands Ron very well.

Ron, who was born in the wizarding world, had few friends of the same age and could not go to Muggle villages. Although his life was leisurely, it was actually very boring.

But Andy likes life in the wizarding world very much. newᴄᴏᴍ

Here you are close to nature, there is no pressure in life, you are free and you can do what you like.

Most importantly, there is magic here.

Think again about your past life.

In the past life, technology was very advanced and life was actually very comfortable. But Andy has a busy job every day, and working overtime has become the norm. He can often feel the heavy pressure of life.

Well, maybe it was childhood that gave Andy this illusion.

"It was an accident last time!"

Making excuses for their failures is what most people do, and Ron is the best among them, "Look, I won't let you score another goal this time."

"Isabelle!"

Andy yelled, and the little girl came running over in slippers and said angrily, "Smelly Andy, where did you hide my snacks?"

"You have to find it yourself, it's a great adventure."

Andy responded and then said: "Ron and I are going to play Quidditch, will you go?"

"Of course!" The little girl's attention was immediately diverted.

Ron looked at Andy with admiration: "You are so awesome. If I did this, my mother would definitely kill me."

Andy rolled his eyes, that's because Ginny is the only girl in your family.

To be honest, the wizarding world is actually a bit patriarchal. Of course, this is because the society in the magical world is still relatively backward. New ℴ𝓂

After drinking the orange juice, Andy greeted: "Let's go."

Although Ron's arrival disturbed Andy's reading time, as a mentally mature adult, Andy rarely loses patience with children.

Unless the kid made a big mistake.

And Andy doesn't want to appear too different.

Having a friend can at least put Kyle and Helen at ease.

The Quidditch pitch was built by adult wizards nearby. It is not high, but it is enough for young wizards to play.

The result of the game was no surprise, Ron was defeated miserably at the hands of Andy once again.

Ron's skills were actually pretty good, especially since Andy didn't play Quidditch at all, so the two of them were evenly matched.

But Ron has a fatal weakness, his mental endurance is too fragile. As long as you are at a disadvantage, it is easy to lose confidence and collapse at the drop of a hat.

Although he understood this, Andy did not comfort Ron.

What children hate most is being lectured by their peers, especially having their shortcomings pointed out by their peers - even if you mean well.

The reason why Hermione in the original work is isolated is also because of this, and Andy will naturally not do it knowingly.

"Ron, it's almost noon, let's go to my house to have dinner together!"

"Thank you, but my mother told me to go back at noon."

"Okay then! I will take Isabelle to visit Mrs. Weasley at your house in a few days."

"Hey! My mom would be so happy. I mean, she likes you."

Saying goodbye to Ron, Andy praised his words.

See, just a few words could prevent Ron from coming back to him in the next few days, and he would be happy about it.

After flying home with the little girl, Helen was already preparing lunch.

"Mom, how's the potion going?"

"It will take a month."

"Big business!"

Ordinary potions can usually be completed within a few hours, but are also very cheap, while potions like this that take many days to brew are usually ridiculously expensive.

"Keep it secret." Helen knew that Andy had always been smart and mature, but she still reminded him carefully.

"Is it Polyjuice Potion?" Andy asked quietly.

Helen gave Andy a knowing look.

Andy decided to pay close attention to the Daily Prophet in a month's time, because the guy who bought the Polyjuice Potion might make a big news.

After lunch, Helen, who had already taken care of the preliminary work on the potion, was free, and this meant that poor Isabel would lose her freedom for an afternoon.

The little girl looked at Andy expectantly.

Perhaps for the little girl, finding the snacks hidden by her brother will be the most interesting game in her entire childhood.

Andy ignored the little girl's plea for help. He didn't want to get himself involved.

When Andy came to the study room, he glanced at the bookshelf, looking for the magic book he could read at the moment.

"I really wish I could get my wand soon."

Having read almost all the books he could read, Andy took out the "Research and Development of Ancient Witchcraft" that he had read in the morning, and turned to the chapter introducing the Obscurus again.

According to Andy's understanding, the strength gap between adult wizards is not too big. Just like Muggles fighting with bare hands, there will be a gap, but it will never be as outrageous as the gap between ordinary people and supermen.

Perhaps Voldemort and Dumbledore are the exceptions?

"But how did this gap widen?"

This was not the first time Andy had thought about this issue. It was obviously not in the books, otherwise the gap between those ancient magician families and ordinary wizards would have been long ago.

However, the fact is that the gap between wizards is actually the same as that between Muggles. It depends not on strength, but on money.

"Perhaps... there are records on how to improve strength in books, but... they are very hidden?"

"Just like the record about Obscurus."

When normal wizards see records about the Obscurus, they will definitely find this kind of thing very scary, and at the same time they will also have thoughts like 'Fortunately, I didn't become the Obscurus'.

But the existence of Obscurus undoubtedly proves the possibility of the integration of spiritual power and magic.

"Maybe I should read these magic books again and look for the small details that have been mentioned but ignored."
