Chapter 286 A secret that is not a secret
After lunch, Albert took the time to go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office and asked Professor Smith about the problems he encountered when practicing the Traceless Stretch Spell. The other person smiled and explained to him the reason for the failure of the spell.
However, in Albert’s eyes, the smile on Professor Smith’s face and the explanation on his lips seemed hypocritical.
Albert didn’t pay much attention to this matter. After Professor Smith’s explanation, he successfully expanded the capacity of the tea cup, got up and left, leaving a stunned Katrina.
“Don’t compare with Albert, his talent is better than your sister.” Professor Smith always felt that something was wrong, but he still comforted Katrina.
If you don’t know how to comfort people, then don’t comfort them!
Katrina felt even more depressed. She found that she had been left far behind by Albert.
There is no other way. It is really puzzling to meet a genius who works very hard and is very talented.
In fact, Katrina once asked Isobel about Albert, and the other party’s reply to her was: Albert is Albert, you are you, and I am me. There is no need to compare.
To be honest, Katrina has always admired Isobel's calm aura. She always looked calm, as if nothing could make her panic.
After being depressed for a while, Katrina continued to immerse herself in the spell book. Professor Smith did have a good teaching talent, and she could feel that she had significantly improved in spells.
After leaving the Defense Against Dark Arts office, Albert went directly to the library on the fifth floor. Standing at the door and looking in, he easily found his roommates who were doing homework. They had already reserved a place for him.
After saying hello to everyone, Albert began to write the letters to be sent today, from home, from the tailor shop in Diagon Alley, and from the French wizard Adolf.
In other words, the relationship between this wizard from France and Albert is still at the stage of mutual communication. The other party did not give Albert the knowledge of the double-sided mirror as mentioned at the last party.
Albert was not surprised at all.
There is never a free lunch in the world. Even if the pie falls, it may be a discus that can kill people, or a rock-skin pancake that can break one's teeth.
Actually, Albert really doesn’t care. As for old friends, if you can make them, make them. If you can’t make them, leave them alone. There will be no loss. He would usually use a respectful and sincere tone to silently pick up the wool of these old friends.
In his letter to Adolf, Albert described the troubles he encountered in using the conversion spell, and asked the other party how to use the advanced conversion spell and apply it to the magic mirror.
Adolf must know how to master the transformation spell, otherwise how would he make a double-sided mirror?
That's right, Albert hopes to obtain a more advanced conversion spell from Adolf. The professors at Hogwarts will not teach this more advanced use of magic spells, and there are very few who truly master these advanced magic skills.
However, since he became aware of advanced magic, Albert has felt a little bit pained because there are no skills such as advanced patron saint spells on his skill panel. Just like the luminous spell, after mastering more advanced methods of use, the skill panel does not appear. No advanced luminous spell appears.
In fact, what Abforth taught himself was still within the skill range of the Patronus Charm.
Of course, it is not ruled out that advanced Patronus Charm requires pre-requisite skills. For example, how many levels of Patronus Charm skills are needed before skills such as Advanced Patronus Charm can appear?
Albert himself has not fully understood the panel tasks and skills.
"This is the wizard card competition process. I checked it and the competition time has been staggered with other activities." Lee Jordan handed a piece of parchment in front of Albert when he put the letter into the envelope. .
Albert glanced at the time and process of the competition on the parchment, picked up his quill, made a few corrections on the parchment and put it away.
It’s great if someone can help!
“If you knew how hard I worked, lend me the paper on the Condensing Fire Spell.” Lee Jordan said angrily.
"Well, I haven't done it yet." Albert continued to write the letter to the tailor shop, "Fred, have you finished your paper on the Fire Condensation Spell?"
"Still working on it." George said with a smile: "If Lee Jordan wants to borrow it, we wouldn't mind lending it to him after we finish it."
“Forget it then.” Li Jordan shook his head and said, “Sanna, are you done?”
“Sanna’s share is with me.” Angelina said without looking up.
"What are you doing?" Shanna looked at Albert and asked curiously. She had noticed that Albert had been busy and didn't know what he was writing.
“Write a letter and see you later.”
Albert used the sticking spell, sealed the envelope, took the three written letters, and got up to go to the Owlhouse.
At this time, there was no one in Hogwarts Castle, and all the students in third grade and above had gone to Hogsmeade.
When he first emerged from the secret passage, he was stared at by Filch.
“What are you doing here?” The administrator stared at Albert gloomily, trying to see through him completely.
"I'm going to the Owlery to send a letter." Albert took out three letters from the pocket of his robe and waved them in front of Filch's face to show that he was not lying.
“Then go quickly.” Filch walked away.
“What’s wrong with him?” Albert asked the nearly headless Nick who was passing by.
"Peeves threw several big dung eggs at the corner of the second floor." Nick reminded kindly, "Filch took a long time to clean up, and now he is very angry."
Nick looked at Filch's leaving figure and continued, "Filch seems to suspect that there are students in Hogwarts who provide Peeves with dung eggs."
Albert knew that the Weasley twins bought a lot of dung eggs and stink bombs from Zuko's joke shop.
This is such a sad story!
It was already ten minutes after arriving at the Owlery in the West Tower. Albert asked Sheila to deliver a letter to home, and then a letter to the tailor shop in Diagon Alley. Finally, he chose a stronger owl and asked him to It went to France to deliver a message to Adolf.
As soon as he left the owl loft, Albert met an acquaintance. Isobel hurried over, holding a package in her hand, as if she was in a hurry.
Albert said hello to the other party.
However, Isobel didn’t seem to want to say anything more to her, so she responded and left in a hurry.
“Forget it, let’s pretend we don’t know!” When Albert was going down the stairs, he saw Isobel walking towards the castle with a few of his friends. Apparently, he had just returned from Hogsmeade.
