Hogwarts: The Unscientific Wizard (TL)

Cloaked figures surrounded the stone altar, staring at the witch tied on the rugged, cross-shaped stone pillar solemnly. Bringing a heavy atmosphere to the scene.

When the Regeneration potion was prepared, the masked wizard who was carrying out the ritual handed the old-faced, deformed baby to its servant silently and took out a bone from the table.

The scrawny servant gulped, looked at his boss's miserable condition, and wiped the tears from his eyes. 

He knows that to survive, protect his boss, and live a carefree life like before, he has to act more perfectly and must try his best to complete the steps of the ritual to bring his boss to life. 

The sense of responsibility and determination made his fear and nervousness lessen.

With a baby in his hand, he made his way to the tied-up witch, the old boss of his boss, who sold his boss out to Aurous during a smuggling trip.

Thinking about that, the servant unconsciously felt anger, so he pulled off her blindfold roughly.

The eerie light from the fireballs stung her eyes before she was able to see more clearly.

The big, blazing, and steaming cauldron at the centre.

The masked man, with the bone in his hand beside the cauldron, was the only one who didn't turn toward her, instead focusing on the potion.

The clocked figures encircling the altar she tied and hung on; the two masked men in suits at the edge of the altar, all looked at her. 

She seemed to feel many eyes behind the masks all over her, as if they were waiting to watch her upcoming miserable fate. Making her blood turn cold.

Her eyes finally turned toward Gornaid's lackey, who brought her here, and the deformed and ugly baby in his hand, who had a face resembling that parasite and blood-sucking bastard, Gornaid. 

From the looks of it, that bastard seemed to be conducting some kind of evil ritual that uses human sacrifices, and she was probably one of the sacrifices.

Fear gripped her heart, but she didn't want that worm Gornaid to feel the satisfaction from seeing her miserable and pathetic. So she just glared at the baby, which was staring at her with its pupilless eyes, mustering all the anger and hatred in her heart. Deciding to not beg for mercy and face her inevitable fate with her chest held out. 

"What kind of look you have?! Do you know your current situation?!" The Servant roared and turned to a cloaked figure and said, "Brother, give her some pain and show her her place. How dare she look at the boss like that?!"

After a split second of hesitation, deciding to teach him a lesson later, the cloaked figure near the witch chanted, "Crucio!" 

"Ah!" The witch screamed first, but then she bit her lips and wriggled and twisted on the cross.

When the pain faded, she panted and glared at the servant with bloodshot eyes, making him instinctively take a step back.

Then he came to his senses and approached her angrily and hissed at her, "Today is the day boss will gain a more perfect and younger body."

"Boss brought you here to watch that joyful scene from the first-row seat. Then we will celebrate the success amidst your wailing sound!"

"Brother, what are you waiting for? Let's start." Knowing they must be getting impatient, the servant decided to finish and made his way toward the cauldron.

Andy watched the play in silence. From the raw emotions she was feeling, the play they arranged to bring those emotions, and the potion made, Andy's understanding of ritual increased a bit.

Before, he felt Voldemort and Barty were stupid third-rate villains to waste time insulting Harry's parents and angering him instead of carrying out the ritual straight.

But now that he thinks about it, they may have done that to arouse his emotion and make his blood boil, just like how he had tried to fake his love for two weeks to complete the fusion of mind and magic.

Rituals are really fascinating.

While his thoughts were whirling, a voice made Andy turn toward the cauldron.

"The Bone, unknowingly taken from Father."

After saying that, the masked man threw the old, lifeless bone into the potion, and then the bones started to grow like tree branches.

He turned to the servant, gave him a sharp enchanted Japanese tanto, and said in a cold voice, "Flesh willingly sacrificed from a servant." 

The servant took a deep breath, handed the baby over, took the tanto, and cut his stretched-out left arm with closed eyes.

The arm, brimming with vitality, fell into the potion and attached itself to the bone. It started to squirm and spread like slime, infusing the bone with life.

Before the pain could register, Grindelwald, who was beside Andy, waved his wand, stopping both the bleeding and pain.

Then he turned to the witch, made a small cut with magic, and drew drops of blood from her, which automatically floated over above the cauldron. 

Andy watched the creation of the body, the territory of God, intently.

When the bone fully transformed into a fleshy branch, the masked man uttered, "Blood forcibly taken from the enemy."

Then, the drops of blood fell and submerged in the potion like rubies under Grindelwald's spell; when they touched the fleshy branch, they penetrated deep into it.

Instantly, thin flesh started to grow from the branches and connected to each other like a bat wing.

Shortly after, they grew like a tumour and became a flesh ball, which started to beat like a heart while floating in the cauldron.

The deep emotion in her blood is what triggered the growth of flesh and made it more active.

But, although it now looked like living flesh, it didn't seem to have human parts apart from flesh, bones, and blood.

Andy mused, looking at the big meatball.

So, the baby is an important part of the ritual.

Does it take information from the soul, magic, and this flesh to become a complete human body?

Like how Voldemort's body formed with magic transfigurations completed.

Did the unnecessary information from the blood of the enemy and servant's flesh that caused deformation to Voldemort's body?

While he mused, the masked man dropped the baby into the cauldron.

When the baby's body was submerged till the neck into the meatball, the flesh started to move and transform, slowly morphing into human form.

A few minutes later, an earless, bald, wrinkled, three-breasted, thin, stick-like man stood up from the cauldron.

Looking at his state and remembering Voldemort's state as well, Andy felt nauseated and decided to never try this, even if there was no other choice.

At least he gained something from watching this. 

After watching the ritual, Andy began to understand the deep connection between alchemy, potions, emotions, the mind, and magic, and how many rituals were first created.

He decided to tweak the magic transfiguration steps a little to make it more harmless and test it out using the Death Eater test subject that Carrow promised to give him.

In order to let Hermione complete the magic transfiguration a few times before learning Animagus, to let her directly transform into a magical creature when his study of the fusion of body, magic, and mind is complete.
