Chapter 247 Role Playing
Albert has never been a suspicious person, at least not in his previous life. This may be related to his previous living environment, but now he has to say that Professor Rowena Smith is a bit suspicious, at least from the combination of many pieces of information that have been obtained. It turned out to be true.
It was undeniable that Albert's prejudice as a time traveler also existed, but he still believed that every wizard who came to Hogwarts as a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor before Voldemort was completely taken off the streets might be here to cause trouble. It's more likely that something will be implicated.
Perhaps, the final answer may be far from his guess, but before Professor Smith leaves Hogwarts, it does not prevent Albert from temporarily putting him on the blacklist.
There is no way, who makes the form of Boggart closely related to people's inner fear, but Professor Smith's Boggart turns into the corpse of Isobel's father, which has to make Albert suspicious.
He even boldly guessed that the cause of Isobel's father's death was most likely related to Professor Smith. Even if there was no direct connection, there might be an indirect connection. Otherwise, how could the form of Professor Smith's Boggart be explained?
According to what Professor Brod once said, Isobel’s father died in a magic experiment.
If you insist on connecting everything together, the only thing the four people have in common is that they are all candidates for successors, and they have all been trained by successors.
Therefore, Albert boldly guessed that the failure of Isobel's father's magic experiment was caused by human factors, and Professor Smith was most likely the culprit. Therefore, Isobel's father's body would become something of fear to Professor Smith, possibly The psychological shadow caused by his intentional, unintentional, or even indirect killing of his friends was, after all, his friends.
Albert recorded his guesses in a small book with a quill pen. This kind of plot is actually a very common story in mystery novels, and the trigger may be for something.
As for the so-called something?
It is naturally a matter for the heir.
In order to inherit a large sum of galleons and other valuable inheritances, it is not too strange to do such a thing.
Although such speculation is a bit ridiculous, it does not mean that such a bold speculation is without logic and possibility.
When wealth is huge enough to make people crazy, and as long as the benefits obtained are large enough, it is not impossible to stab a friend in the back.
Furthermore, it is speculation about Ravenclaw's treasure trove of knowledge.
Why does Professor Smith want to get the wealth in Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets?
There are two speculations about this. The first one is that the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets is related to the heir, and the second one is purely for the wealth inside. However, after knowing that the wealth inside is knowledge, the back of Professor Smith from before That's why I feel so lonely.
If the four people are connected to the Ravenclaw Treasure House, the first possibility will be relatively high.
Furthermore, Isobel may have discovered the existence of the Ravenclaw Knowledge Vault from his father's notes, indicating that his father most likely went inside and may have gotten something from it to become his heir.
However, because there was only one heir, he was killed?
But, why didn’t Professor Smith become the heir?
The reason why Albert was sure that Professor Smith was not the heir was because at Easter, he was invited to the lake house by Mog McDougal, and he found that Professor Brod and several other people were of the same age group. However, two or three The position of ten years old has been discontinued. If they are really related to the heirs, or... In fact, Professor Brod and several others are responsible for selecting the heirs, and are they even the former heirs themselves?
So, what was the purpose of Professor Broad coming to Hogwarts last year?
For Ravenclaw’s treasure trove of knowledge? Or it may have something to do with the matter of the heir, but one thing even Albert would not deny. Professor Brod helped him a lot in the end, and he was not hostile to him, and even treated him kindly like a relative.
This led to Albert not suspecting Professor Smith at first, not only because they knew each other. At that time, Albert did not know about the heir and only thought that Professor Brod was planning to draw him into a circle of friends.
An avenger who avenges his father?
Or is it a candidate to seize the position of heir?
Or…both?
"So, what role do I play?" Albert looked at the parchment in his hand and muttered to himself, "The unlucky guy who was involved in this incident for no reason? Or am I one of the candidates competing for the heir? ?”
Finally, what roles do Professor Broad and Mr. Mog McDougal play?
A judge who selects a successor?
So...Mr. Smith is the heir candidate and the villain boss?
No, Professor Smith may be unqualified. After all, he was the successor candidate in the last round. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, the role of the successor candidate should have been eliminated?
What’s more, he has failed.
Of course, there is another possibility that Mr. Smith is also the "successor" referee. After all, with the case of Snape before him, it is really hard to tell what the truth is until the end.
There is no way, the plot of the novel is indeed nonsense sometimes, but reality is sometimes even more nonsense, not to mention that he is living in this world where he doesn’t know whether it is a novel or reality.
Of course, all this may be just Albert's own delusion, but he still believes that Professor Smith's arrival at Hogwarts is probably related to the matter of the heir. After all, Rowena's surname is Smith. The so-called coincidences are usually just artificial coincidences.
So, the last question.
Isobel seems to know a lot of things. How does she know so many things?
Did someone tell her, or did she deduce it from the things her father left behind, or did she have some way of getting information?
All three are possible, but there is no doubt that Isobel knows many things and is even closer to the truth than him, but the other party is unwilling to say it.
Albert is actually not unable to understand Isobel's thoughts. If he were to kill him, he would keep the secret and would not trust others easily.
“I don’t know why, but I always feel like this world is unsafe!” Albert tore out the pages from the diary and threw them into the flames to burn to ashes.
Now, he just hopes that everything is just his guess and boring delusion.
"The world is so dangerous, so you should prepare more things for yourself to defend yourself." Albert muttered to himself, looking at the paper that burned to ashes in the fire.
If possible, I would really like to carry two wands with me.
As for, why do you need to bring two wands?
This is actually some kind of inertial thinking. Most wizards only carry one wand. However, losing the wand means losing the power to resist. Many villains like to say something to show off their superiority and enjoy the feeling of victory after removing the enemy's wand.
However, this is an opportunity to give others a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Who lets the villain die from talking too much?
