Chapter 240 A sense of weirdness
Ever since the last time Professor Smith told Albert about the Ravenclaw's treasure trove of knowledge, he has been feeling weird.
This matter should have been a secret guess!
But, Professor Smith actually told him directly?
Does this mean that you regard Albert as one of your own? Want to use him to decipher the secrets? Or…
One question after another emerged in Albert's mind, and the main reason was that the "other purpose" related to Professor Smith in the task panel had never been completed.
If Professor Smith only came to Hogwarts to serve as a treasure trove of knowledge in Ravenclaw, then the task should have been completed when he revealed his purpose of coming here.
But...the task was still not completed, which made Albert suspicious. The actual situation was obviously different from what it seemed.
Albert was subconsciously wary of Professor Smith.
After all, in the Harry Potter novels, half of the guys who cause trouble at Hogwarts are related to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
The name of the task "Other Purpose" is also very meaningful.
If Professor Smith is not here for Ravenclaw's treasure trove of knowledge, what other purpose does he have?
Albert is not sure yet, but he feels that Isobel may know something, but the other party has never mentioned it, and he has no good solution.
Speaking of Isobel, he suddenly remembered the rune stone divination in the past. The divination result was that he would encounter danger and it was difficult to avoid it. His divination result was similar to Isobel's, but the divination result was still unknown. Come true, is there any connection between the two?
"Who else plans to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas? Remember to register with me." Professor McGonagall's voice interrupted Albert's meditation.
At the beginning of December, Professor McGonagall told everyone that students staying in school for Christmas would need to register. In fact, few would be willing to stay at Hogwarts for the holidays. Today, Professor McGonagall mentioned this matter again before the end of the Transfiguration class, just to prevent anyone from missing this matter.
“I think it would be good to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas and explore the castle when no one is around.” George muttered while eating lunch.
"Then why do you still want to go home for the holidays?" Li Jordan couldn't stand it and couldn't help but ask, "You can apply to stay in school for Christmas after you finish."
"No, no, I think it's better to go home for Christmas." George winked at Lee Jordan and said, "Besides, Ron will go to Hogwarts next year. As his older brother, We need to tell him something about the school in advance."
“Tell him how to sort him?” Li Jordan thought of what happened during the sorting process.
"This is a good idea. I decided to tell Ron that Hogwarts will be sorted through the test." George said suddenly.
“We should tell him that this kind of testing is very harmful to students,” Fred added.
“Ron, is he the one who ate a sour lollipop you sent and his tongue was burned through?” Albert couldn’t help but laugh, “Do you have any brother who cheated his brother like you?”
“Wow, you actually remember this!” Both twins looked in disbelief.
"My memory has always been very good." Albert shook his head. "Next year, there may be a big shot in Hogwarts School."
“What big shot?” the three asked in unison.
"Potter!" Albert raised his hand and knocked on the books on the table, reminding: "The famous Harry Potter, don't tell me you don't know, I have seen his name in several books Now, people in the magic world call him the savior."
“Everyone is curious about how he did it.” George continued, “The mysterious man killed many people, but did not kill Potter. Instead, he was defeated by a baby.”
“Is the mysterious man dead?” Albert asked pretending to be curious.
"Dead, many people say he is dead, but dad said Dumbledore thinks the mysterious man may not be dead." Fred lowered his voice and said, "Those dark wizards have a lot of strange magic."
"I'm more curious about why You-Know-Who failed." George muttered. "Potter is the only one who escaped the Killing Curse."
"Which house do you think Potter will be assigned to?" Lee Jordan changed the topic.
“I hope he comes to Gryffindor.” George said without hesitation.
“I hope he’s in our college too.” Fred immediately agreed.
“It’s very possible.” Albert nodded.
“Wow!” Fred exclaimed in an exaggerated tone: “Now I am more confident that Potter will be sorted into Gryffindor.”
"I also have this hunch." Lee Jordan said seriously, "After all, what Albert's mouth says is always accurate, whether it's good or bad."
"Stop making trouble." Albert rolled his eyes at the three of them and explained casually, "In the school's trophy room, there is James Potter's Quidditch trophy. I think he should be a relative of the savior. In the wizarding world, many wizards are in the same academy as their families. Of course, there are a few exceptions."
This was the reason used to excuse Fred and others. Albert naturally knew that Potter would be assigned to Gryffindor.
"I heard that Harry Potter lives with Muggle relatives." Lee Jordan suddenly said, "It must not be a good life."
"You will know next year. If Potter is very thin, it means he is not doing well, and if he is fat, it means he is doing well." Albert thought for a while and suddenly asked, "By the way, none of you sneaked in to visit. Harry Potter?"
"No, it was probably because those dark wizards might harm him, so Potter has been protected since he was a child. Everyone only knows that he was given to Muggle relatives to raise, and not many people know where he actually lives." Frey De said shaking his head.
"By the way, have you prepared to create a savior card? I'm looking forward to this." Lee Jordan's tone was very excited. The influence of wizard cards in Hogwarts is growing.
Now, they can often see students playing cards in the dining hall, common room, and on the lawn, discussing how to form better cards.
Today's wizard cards have completely surpassed wizard chess and Gobstone, but students are eager for more sophisticated wizard cards.
Regrettably, the current wizard card is still in its infancy and requires patience and care.
The conversation among the four people somehow got sidetracked and they started talking about signing up for the competition. Lee Jordan believed that the number of signups should be increased to use the registration fee to reduce Albert’s expenditure on prize money.
“Our workload will become larger and larger if we do this,” Albert warned.
"We can change the rules, as long as they are relatively fair." Fred suggested, "Anyway, only a few people can really play, and everyone is just joining in the fun."
Albert opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
fair and just?
what is that?
As long as you think about the Triwizard Tournament, you will know that there is no so-called fairness and justice at all. Those are all bullshit, that is, casual remarks. No one really takes them seriously. Victory is everything.
