Andy nodded, he thought the same thing.
To this day, the International Statute of Secrecy Act has only been in effect for over three hundred years, so traces of wizards must have existed in Muggle history over three hundred years ago.
But looking at Muggle history, apart from the vague medieval witch hunts, there seemed to be no other records of wizards and magic.
Moreover, the medieval witch hunt was rewritten as a political act to 'solidify the rule of the Church', and had nothing to do with wizards.
According to records, during the centuries-old witch trial movement, hundreds of thousands of women throughout Europe were judged as witches and brutally tortured.
But there weren't that many wizards in the wizarding world.
So Muggle's history must have been artificially altered.
When it's not in the history books, wizards and magic naturally become folk tales passed down by word of mouth.
Coupled with all the suspicions in the history of magic ...
So Andy surmised that the history of the magic community had also been artificially altered.
For example, let's talk about Merlin.
In the knowledge of the magic world, Merlin was real, but the Camelot Kingdom that Merlin served was not mentioned at all in the books of magic history.
And then there's the Deathly Hallows.
The Deathly Hallows were also real, but the rumours about the Deathly Hallows were only circulated in story collections and were considered bedtime stories.
"How are the legends about Merlin described on the Muggle side?" Andy asked suddenly.
When he was on the train, Andy had specifically mentioned Merlin, so Andy believed Hermione must have looked up information about Merlin when she got home.
Sure enough, he heard Hermione say, "Merlin is a legendary wizard in the Wilson mythology book, as for the story of him and King Arthur when ... you don't need me to say that, you also know."
"However, in our Muggle community, it is believed that Merlin is a fictional character made up after blending the qualities of multiple characters and summarising their achievements."
A fabricated fictional character?
Indeed, after all, Merlin was involved in magic, so of course it could only be a fabrication.
Andy didn't pursue it further.
"In fact, ... even if we have doubts, we should at least find actual evidence to prove that the truth is indeed as we have guessed - someone has revised history."
Andy said, "If we can prove that the Deathly Hallows are indeed related to the Death, then we can prove that ... in the history of the magical world, gods did exist."
Hermione was instantly excited upon hearing this.
Aside from her hidden adventurous gene, Hermione's favourite thing was to solve mystery puzzles one after another.
What's more, this time it was still related to the legendary gods.
"Andy, what do you want to do?"
Hermione trailed off, "Collect all three Deathly Hallows?"
Andy did want to do that if he could.
But in practice, it might be a little bit troublesome.
Especially the Elderwood Wand, also known as the Elder Wand!
The Deathly Hallows must have appeared in the original Harry Potter and also played a huge role in Harry's victory over Voldemort.
It is now known that the Invisibility Cloak is in Harry's possession.
And since Voldemort is related to the Gaunt family, Andy has reason to suspect that the Resurrection Stone is in Voldemort's hands.
What about the Elder Wand?
If you speculate from the perspective of the novel's author's arrangement of the plot, Andy has already guessed whose hand the Elder Wand is in.
Albus Dumbledore!
There is no need for proof because that is the plot arrangement.
It's the only way Auntie Rowling could make the three Deathly Hallows plausibly appear in the plot.
Harry, Voldemort, and Dumbledore.
One for each of the three of them.
"You-Know-Who has Slytherin blood, he's a descendant of the Gaunt family."
Andy analysed, "So the ... Resurrection Stone is most likely in the Dark Lord's hands."
Hermione: "..."
Andy continued, "If my speculation is right, then the situation now becomes: Harry and the Dark Lord, both have a Deathly Hallows in their hands."
"So guess, in whose hands will the last Deathly Hallows, fall?"
Hermione raised her eyebrows, "Are you trying to say ... Dumbledore?"
It was a bit of a stretch, but it somehow made sense.
Hermione thought for a moment and asked, "But how are we going to inquire about all this?"
Isabel stood and listened quietly, her small face already scrunched into a frown.
Was it really appropriate for her to listen to such a major secret?
Isabel felt that she was still a little too young to snatch the Deathly Hallows from Voldemort and Dumbledore's hands.
Rushing up to them would be a death sentence!
"Andy, I think you should reconsider. I don't want to go to your funeral at the age of ten." Isabel said tornly.
Andy: "?"
Pat!
Patting the little girl on the head, Andy continued, "Hermione, do you think the Dark Lord would read The Tales of Beedle the Bard?"
Hermione grimaced oddly.
The picture of Dark Lord and bedtime stories ... didn't match at all!
Hermione couldn't picture Voldemort reading fairy tales before bed - that would be too much of a brain-rot!
"You mean ..."
Hermione exclaimed excitedly, "There's a good chance the Dark Lord doesn't even know about the Deathly Hallows?"
Andy laughed a little and raised an eyebrow, "So ... we should check out the old Gaunt house, maybe we'll find some discoveries!"
Hermione nodded.
Harry was a classmate and Dumbledore was the headmaster. So the only Deathly Hallows she and Andy could get at the moment would be the Gaunt family's Resurrection Stone.
"So the Gaunt family ..." Hermione asked with deliberation, "They...?"
Andy spread his hands, "Are heir apparent. Oh, except for Dark Lord."
Hermione raised an eyebrow, since the Gaunt family was already extinct, there was no psychological burden.
As for Voldemort ...
Robbing Voldemort is an act of valour and justice.
It deserved encouragement!
"Let's go!"
Andy said, "I'll show you around the rest of the village, being in the graveyard all the time is a bit noticeable."
Hermione gave a hum, "Why don't we go visit Mrs Bagshot? Let's get it over with today and then have a full day of fun tomorrow."
Andy thought for a moment, "That's fine."
Hermione let out a low chuckle, "It's mainly because, with this thing weighing on my mind, I probably won't be able to fall asleep through the night with all the tossing and turning I'll be doing."
Andy suggested, "I have experience in this area. I recommend you to learn the Occlumency, when your brain becomes chaotic, you can use the Occlumency to empty your mind so that you can fall asleep very quickly."
"Okay! I'll try it." Hermione laughed.
Andy beckoned, "Let's go, Isa!"
The little girl fumbled after Andy and Hermione, her small face tangled in a knot.
They are going to steal the Dark Lord's treasure, should I follow them or not?
'Whatever, the Dark Lord is dead anyway, there's nothing to be afraid of!' Isabel pumped herself up in her mind.
