Chapter 859 Albert is very busy(1/2)
After concluding his prophecy about the Horcrux, Albert did not leave the principal's office in a hurry. Instead, he chatted with Dumbledore like an old friend he had not seen for a long time. However, the topic of the conversation between the two was quickly changed by Albert.
It took me astray, first it turned into an academic exchange, and then it turned into a pattern where Albert asked questions and Dumbledore helped answer them.
Although Dumbledore had not cared much about academic issues over the years, he had also served as a professor at Hogwarts and was still happy to answer questions for the diligent and studious Albert.
However, when Albert took out his quill from his pocket and began to take notes, Dumbledore was a little suspicious that the Sorting Hat had sorted Albert into the wrong house.
The exchange between the two parties was quite pleasant, but the topic was so boring that all the portraits in the principal's office closed their eyes and took a rest.
An hour later, Albert asked Dumbledore one by one about several questions in the original notes.
After another half an hour, Albert left the principal's office with a satisfied hand holding the borrowed ancient rune notebook, which recorded Dumbledore's research on the ancient rune.
Tonight was a fruitful night, thanks to the thick skin he had developed over the past few years: Albert said he was going to write a "Ghost Book" and hoped to get Dumbledore's help and come over occasionally to talk to him.
He discusses ancient magic texts.
So Dumbledore generously lent his old notebook to Albert.
In the entire British magic world, there are actually very few experts who are good at ancient magic texts. If those notes are not lent to others, they will end up gathering dust or even being completely forgotten by people. If they are lent to Albert, he might actually be able to publish a book.
"Book of Magic Texts".
Dumbledore didn't know whether "The Book of Grimoires" could benefit other people, but he knew that there was no harm in having multiple reliable friends, not to mention that Albert and them were on the same journey. After establishing a good relationship between the two parties, they could take advantage of the situation.
Invite him to join the Order of the Phoenix.
Although Dumbledore was unwilling to admit it, the various things happening now seemed to indicate that something terrible was about to happen.
Dumbledore had heard about the rumors of the second wizarding war a long time ago. He even went to the Forbidden Forest to consult centaurs who were good at divination. Margery told him that the spark that could bring war was in the Forbidden Forest.
The sky shone brightly, hinting that war would definitely break out again in the near future. The centaurs believed that the people in the wizarding world were just passing through a brief period of peace between wars.
To be honest, Dumbledore is actually not very willing to believe in prophecies. It involves too many causes and effects, and prophecies may not be accurate in many cases. But now he has to admit that the centaurs' prophecies may come true, because Abel
Te seemed to have predicted the coming turmoil, otherwise he would not have invited himself to his wedding in advance just now.
After all, invitations are sent out one or two months before the wedding, not two years in advance.
Albert actually guessed what Dumbledore was thinking, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Join the Order of the Phoenix?
That is obviously impossible. Not to mention that he himself is not that great, his own life is more important, and he does not believe in Snape. When the time comes, he will at most help them a little, push them behind, and let Voldemort
Get on the road early.
As for not being able to cause trouble for Barty Jr., although it was a bit regretful, Albert could also see that Dumbledore still retained the most basic trust in his old friend, so he knew that he could not rush until Harry became the
As for the fourth warrior, I believe that Dumbledore will definitely remember his old friend and pay special attention to him. This is what Ai Shengu wants to do, subtly influencing Dumbledore's judgment.
After all, people like Dumbledore obviously would not easily believe the one-sided words of others. He would rather believe in himself.
…
Becoming an alternate member of the Wizengamot still had some impact on Albert's life.
At least for those few days, Fred, George and Lee Jordan couldn't let go of talking to him. They obviously couldn't adapt well to their good friend suddenly becoming a "big shot".
However, this situation did not last long. They probably found that Albert was still the same Albert as before, and his attitude towards them did not change because he became a big shot, so everyone gradually returned to normal, and the three of them began to follow Albert.
Bert practiced the protective magic mentioned in the "Defense Guide" magazine.
After spending two weeks teaching them how to master protective magic, Albert took advantage of the weekend when the weather cleared up to take Fred, George and Lee Jordan to the Forbidden Forest for practical testing and to collect some information for future wild encounters.
Survival guide chapter accumulates experience data.
Hagrid saw the four people walking towards the forest from the window of his hut, waved and shouted to them: "Hey, what are you going to do in the forest?"
"We plan to go into the forest to test the magic." Albert said without thinking.
Hagrid was a little speechless for a moment. He didn't understand why Albert could talk about violating school rules so confidently.
"You should know that students are prohibited from entering the woods. Albert, you are a prefect, and you actually take the lead in violating school rules." Hagrid poked Albert's chest with his finger and warned, "Be careful, I will buckle Gryffindor."
's score."
What do you mean we plan to go into the forest to test the magic?
Does this tell him directly that we intend to violate school rules?
"Come on, Hagrid. I don't think you want Slytherin House to win the House Cup, right?" Albert smiled and explained: "We are just testing magic in the nearby woods. If you are worried
If you want, you can come over and take a look, and by the way, bring Yaya with you."
"Okay, I want to see what you are doing!" Hagrid was still a little worried, worried about what the four of them would do.
After they came to an open space, Albert took out a disk-like thing from his pocket.
"What is this?" Hagrid asked doubtfully.
"I call this thing a danger warning device." Albert handed the thing to George.
"Danger warning device?" Hagrid looked at the palm-sized gadget suspiciously.
"Yes, as long as a wizard is approaching, the danger warning device will warn you. If the other party is malicious, a red alert will be issued."
Fred, George and Lee Jordan could understand the usefulness of this thing. If they were in the wild, they would need this thing to give themselves early warning.
"What the hell is this?"
Hagrid saw Albert take out four metal pillars with carved patterns and hand them to Fred. This guy always had a lot of strange things on him.
"This thing can make the spell last longer. In fact, there is something similar on the wall of Hogwarts." Albert explained.
"Really?" Hagrid obviously didn't believe it.
"Of course there are, they are just hidden. They are one of the defense systems of Hogwarts." Albert said to himself, "That's why I say ancient runes are important, but many people don't understand them.
Interpret these things.”
This thing is actually one of Dumbledore's research results.
"Come on Hagrid, we will come over later to check on the situation here."
"What's the point of doing this?"
Hagrid followed Albert away in confusion, not understanding what they were doing.
"Of course it makes sense." Albert explained, "These spells can build a safe temporary camp in the wild in a short time.
"Temporary camp, you mean camping?"
"You can think so." Albert didn't lie. It was actually true that he said it was camping in the wild, but the nature was different.
He mainly wanted Fred, George and Lee Jordan to understand that building a safe temporary camp is not that the more protective magic there is, the safer it is, but that people should not know the specific location, cannot find it, and do not know, then it is real.
Safe, because most protective magic can actually be easily broken."
This is also one of the topics that Albert wants to discuss with Dumbledore, but Albert is not in a hurry. He believes that Dumbledore will come to him again. When the time comes, he will slowly dig out the other person. This is like
Dig for treasure.
"Do you think something bad might happen in the future?" Hagrid asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I have such a premonition. Especially after the Dark Mark appeared in the World Cup, my premonition became stronger. There will be turmoil in the magic world. I remember the centaurs made similar predictions.
"The centaur's prophecy?"
"They think that people in the wizarding world are just spending a brief period of peace between two wars." Albert said calmly: "Actually, I think the centaurs are right."
"Two wars?" Hagrid was panicking, but it didn't look like Albert was trying to scare him.
"Well, I have a hunch that after a while, you should be able to feel the approaching war." Albert took out his pocket watch and looked at the time: "By then, Hogwarts will no longer be safe."
"Hogwarts is not safe? This is the safest place in the UK. Dumbledore is here, and even the mysterious man dare not approach Hogwarts." Hagrid thought this was ridiculous.
"Come on, Hagrid, let's go back and see how the three of them are doing." Albert and Hagrid returned to the clearing along the same path, but the clearing over there was gone, replaced by a lush jungle.
"What's going on?" Hagrid became even more confused, "I remember that this place seemed to be an open space just now?"
"It's a disguise spell."
Albert took out the dragon leather gloves from his pocket and put them on his hands. He raised his hand and explored forward, feeling that he seemed to have touched something.
In Hagrid's field of vision, he saw that Albert's hand seemed to have touched something invisible, and he tapped it twice.
"It should be a protective spell to protect everything, but it's a bit obvious. Anyone who finds a transparent barrier here will find something wrong here." Albert glanced at Hagrid's feet and said, "Ya Ya" who was sniffing around.
"You forgot to use the spell to repel the beast."
Hagrid opened his mouth and saw Albert raising his wand and shaking it slightly. A stun spell hit the area in front of him. The spell seemed to be slightly deflected and peeled off the skin of an unlucky tree not far away.
piece.
"Safe guard?, but I feel that this spell is useless. Once hit by a large amount of magic, this spell will be easily shattered." Albert muttered.
"At least, it deflected your coma spell."
Fred, George and Lee Jordan suddenly appeared in front of them.
"However, you are right, these protective spells are not very effective and they can be broken easily."
"Honestly, I feel like I was deceived by the Defense Guide."
