Brother, on the road!
I, Andy Collins, like to make friends with a generous character like you.
As they spoke, the three of them walked to the library door.
"Cedric, together?" Andy asked.
"Uh..."
Cedric hesitated for a moment and said with some embarrassment, "In a while, our Hufflepuff team is going to practice for Quidditch together."
Andy glanced at Cedric with disapproval.
What about saying we'll pad together? In the end, you Hufflepuffs are secretly practising behind the scenes.
Are we still good brothers?
Besides, even if you guys practice well, no one would care about you.
This year's Championship is destined to be awarded to Gryffindor or Slytherin.
"Good luck!" Andy cheered without any sincerity.
Cedric, however, had a serious face, "We have a match with Slytherin next month, as long as we win over one hundred and twenty points and catch the golden snitch, we can compete with Gryffindor for the championship."
There's more to this?
Okay!
The whole watching the game thing; unless the Ravenclaw won, the game would be meaningless.
Walking into the library, Hermione excitedly searched for a few books on geography and culture, intending to make a full plan for her graduation trip!
Starting from Europe, through Asia, North America, Africa, and finally back to Europe, completing a trip around the globe.
Having made a general plan for the trip, the next step was to make a detailed plan - according to Hermione, the travel plan should be specific to a certain country, a certain city, a certain attraction, or even a certain small store that was somewhat ancient.
"Speaking of travelling..."
Andy suddenly remembered something, "Hermione, earlier at Christmas, I told Isa that I would take her to a Muggle amusement park during the summer break ... I might have to trouble you then."
"Isa is my sister," Andy added at the end.
"Going to an amusement park?"
Hermione was pleasantly surprised, "When you guys come over, remember to write to me in advance, and when you set a time, I'll have my dad drive to pick you up."
"Then we have a deal." Andy sighed in relief, almost failing to let Isabel off the hook.
After making an appointment to meet up for the summer, Andy and Hermione were finally quiet.
Hermione continued to make plans for the graduation trip, while Andy was unrelenting, continuing to read books on magic theory.
In these two days, Andy gained a huge yield.
Andy remembered that in his previous life, in a certain film, he had heard of this magic theory:
Magic spells, it was writing the source code of the real world.
If this theory was applied to the world of Harry Potter, it could actually make sense.
Andy sometimes wondered if the cyber world was made by humans. Then will the real world, also be made by higher dimensional beings?
For those higher dimensional beings, the real world that Andy was in was actually the network world.
And wizards who had mastered magic were actually viruses in the network world.
When a wizard's magical attainments reached a certain level, he became artificial intelligence in the 'network world'.
If placed in the real world - he is a god!
The main reason why Andy had brainstormed to this point was because of reading that book of poetry written by Lady Ravenclaw.
If one looked at that book of poetry from the perspective of magic, Lady Ravenclaw could be called an all-rounder in magic.
Andy could find traces of hundreds of magic spells from that book of poetry. There were also many magical effects that Andy could not even understand for the time being.
'Maybe Lady Ravenclaw wants to learn all the magic in the world as much as I do.' Andy thought.
If those magic with different effects were combined, they could do almost anything in the world.
Andy thought that he might have found Lady Ravenclaw's path to magic.
Knowledge and wisdom!
Knowledge is accumulation, mastering large numbers of magic.
Wisdom is an application, using all the magic you have at your disposal wisely.
If everything depicted in that poem was done by magic, then Lady Ravenclaw's magic attainment has definitely reached an extremely high level.
She might not be able to do what her heart desires, but she can utilize a combination of magic to achieve a similar effect.
She could use magic to do anything.
So the reason for her untimely death ...
Andy guessed that maybe her account might have been banned for the story opening.
Andy had been reading theoretical books on combination magic for the past two days - Lady Ravenclaw's path to magic was indeed very suitable for Andy, who has a system.
Andy sometimes wondered. If, one day, if he could learn all the magic in the world and could combine them together at will ...
Then what realm would his magic attainments have reached?
Those who have watched sci-fi films know that if artificial intelligence creates a body for itself, it can enter the real world from the cyber world.
-- such as Ultron!
So, if a wizard's magic attainment reached the realm of the gods (artificial intelligence), could he achieve hyperdimensionality by creating a body?
Andy rubbed his face.
Daydreaming ends here!
Magic had to be learned from the ground, but daydreaming once in a while was also good for inspiring the fighting spirit.
It was still important to dream, just in case it came true.
***
At noon, Andy met Malfoy in the Great Hall.
His face was a little pale, and his whole being didn't look as flamboyant as before. While Goyle and Crabbe were still flocking around him, Malfoy was silent and ignored them.
Andy had guessed earlier that Malfoy had had his memory modified by Voldemort.
If Dumbledore had healed him, would Malfoy still have memories of this time?
Noticing Andy's line of sight, Malfoy's face darkened.
He still remembered the encounters during this time, so he naturally understood that he was taking the blame for Andy.
If it were not for Andy, he would not have been attacked by Quirrell.
In the beginning, Quirrell had simply wanted to get back at Malfoy. After all, it was Malfoy who forced him to leave Hogwarts, and possibly be punished by Voldemort.
It was only in the process of getting back at Malfoy that Voldemort woke up.
After learning what happened, Voldemort was annoyed with Quirrell, a loser, but the cards were stacked against him at the time, so Voldemort had to prepare for the plans that would come afterwards.
So the waste-Malfoy was utilized by Voldemort.
Seeing that Malfoy had noticed him, Andy smiled and nodded.
It seemed the boy had remembered.
Andy was somewhat relieved.
Although it was a toss-up, Malfoy didn't die after all.
Andy felt that he still had a bottom line.
Although many fans of Harry Potter in his previous life stated that Malfoy was a bad guy, he was after all just a kid now.
People could mess up, but they couldn't implicate children.
Of course, if Malfoy grew up and really turned out to be a bad guy, then when he became an adult, let's give him a shot of Killing Curse!
Andy thought.

Malfoy had very mixed feelings about Andy.
He had made a big splash because of Andy's plan, and because of Andy's plan, he had got a hard payback from Quirrell.
While recuperating in the school's hospital wing, Malfoy had reflected on it.
Was he being taken advantage of?
On the one hand, he felt that Andy wouldn't have thought that much about it; after all, during the time when the school had just started, no one knew that Quirrell was the bad guy.
And on the other hand, he felt that Andy was unkind by nature for pushing him to the forefront.
Seeing Andy smile and nod at him, Malfoy felt complicated for a moment.
Heh~.
Andy let out a light laugh and cocked his head at Malfoy, signalling for the two to go out and have a private chat.
Malfoy: "..."
"I'm going out."
Saying hello to Hermione, Andy got up and glanced at Malfoy before leaving the great hall.
Malfoy's face darkened.
If he didn't go out, it would look as if he was afraid of Andy.
The great hall is on the ground floor, Andy walked out of the castle and found a deserted and empty place.
After waiting for a short while, Malfoy hesitantly walked over.
"What's up?" Malfoy asked dryly.
"I want to know, do you still have any memories from a while ago?"
Andy got straight to the point, "After being attacked by Quirrell, you should have had your memories modified, right?"
"How do you know?" Malfoy turned ashen.
Andy smirked, "Don't be nervous, I'm simply curious. I'm a Ravenclaw, it's only natural that I have an abundance of curiosity, right?"
What's there to be curious about?
Malfoy felt like he was being mocked.
"Collins, did you do that on purpose?" Malfoy asked with a red face.
"This is proper academic research."
Andy had a straight face, "In the magic world, there aren't many examples of having one's memory modified."
Especially the ones who had their memories modified and ended up still alive were even less numerous
"That's not what I'm talking about."
Malfoy said in annoyance, "I'm talking about expelling Quirrell, did you let me do it on purpose?"
"Of course, it was on purpose, didn't we pass a note?"
Andy looked at Malfoy differently, then reacted, "Oh, I didn't think that Quirrell would be the bad guy either, I thought he was just the unqualified professor."
Malfoy's face looked better.
Just looking at the way Quirrell had stammered back then, who would have thought he was a Death Eater?
"Tell me, do you have any memories from before? What's it like to have your memories modified?" Andy asked again.
"Why would I tell you?" Malfoy's face flushed red as he felt offended.
Of course, there was another secret in Malfoy's heart that he couldn't tell.
In his modified memories, his father, Lucius Malfoy, was a Death Eater, and he was an enthusiastic little Death Eater.
He came to Hogwarts to steal the Philosopher's Stone and resurrect the Dark Lord.
Andy looked around and said, seemingly offhandedly, "Malfoy, do you know why I asked you here?"
Malfoy looked around and paled slightly, "Collins, what do you mean? This is Hogwarts, I don't believe you dare attack me!"
Andy quickly pulled out his wand.
"Petrificus Totalus!"
A magic beam flew out, and Malfoy's entire body was sent flying backwards, stiff and motionless.
Andy looked down on Malfoy from above, cocked his head, and said in a careless tone, "See, I was daring."
Andy didn't mean to bully the child.
That little thought of Malfoy's, Andy saw through it at a glance.
Very often, the so-called conflicts started from a little thing and gradually became irreconcilable.
Just like Harry and Malfoy in the original story.
Their very first contradiction actually originated from a friendship failure.
Andy was not afraid of Malfoy, but his father, Lucius Malfoy, had a lot of influence in the British magic world.
In case Malfoy came home to complain, it would inevitably cause a little bit of trouble.
Andy's dad, Kyle Collins, worked at the Ministry of Magic, and Andy didn't want his behaviour at school to affect his dad's work.
That being the case, intimidating Malfoy for a while was necessary.
Of course, Andy was really quite curious about how it felt to modify his memory.
Memory magic, among all magic systems, was also extremely high-end magic.
Andy continued, "Are you thinking that I don't dare to kill you? Or maybe, you want to tell Professor Snape and your father?"
Malfoy was stiff, his face and eyes remained blank.
But it was so easy to guess what was going on in the mind of such a brat.
"You're right in thinking that I would indeed not dare to lay a hand on you in school."
Hearing these words, Malfoy's heart was instantly relieved, and then he thought about how to get back at Andy in the future.
Before Malfoy could come up with a good idea, he heard Andy continue, "But we'll have to graduate sometime, don't you think?"
"I don't suppose you want to have to defend yourself against me at all times in the future, do you?"
Malfoy's heart tightened at that.
Andy knew in his heart that this little trick might be able to scare Malfoy for a while, but the thing about trouble children was - they don't remember what they eat.
Andy decided to directly strike hard, "I am only interested in magic, what is the difference between wizards and muggles? Why do wizards have magic powers?"
"Perhaps ... the only way to get an answer to that question is to deconstruct a few wizards and muggles."
"The same goes for memory magic, if you don't tell me, then I'll have to capture a few wizards and test them myself later."
While speaking, Andy kept staring at Malfoy.
That look was like saying: if you don't tell me, I'll experiment on you later.
"Finite!"
Andy lifted the Full Body-Bind Curse on Malfoy, and his eyes carried a few moments of fervour, "Malfoy, I hope you can answer my questions on magic."
Malfoy's face paled, and his whole body contracted, "I...I..."
He wanted to say, My father is a school board governor, I'm going to go back and tell my father.
But seeing Andy's frenzied demeanour, Malfoy's words that had just reached his mouth were directly stifled back.
As the saying goes, the lawful ones are afraid of the lawless ones, and the lawless ones are afraid of the desperate ones.
When had a pampered rich kid like Malfoy ever been intimidated like this?
Malfoy even felt that even Quirrell was not as scary as Andy.
The mad scientist persona did bluff sometimes.
"Gulp!"
Malfoy gulped and backed up with his hands on the ground, he looked like he wanted to yell for someone, but Andy's wand stayed pointed at him.
Malfoy wondered if he could pull out his wand and fight back. But he searched through his memories and couldn't find a single spell that could deal with this situation.
"I don't suppose you want to disappoint me...Malfoy?"
Andy looked sideways at Malfoy, "I won't bother you in the future as long as you tell me honestly...how was that?"
