Chapter 304 The Secret of the Twelve Certificates
After class, Albert stayed deliberately to discuss with Professor McGonagall about choosing a new course. Seeing Albert staying, Katrina hesitated for a moment and also stayed.
Professor McGonagall was not too surprised that Albert wanted to take all the courses. Most students who studied well would take all the courses and obtain twelve certificates in the O.W.L.s (Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination).
There is no doubt that Albert has such strength, and he also has advantages.
Professor McGonagall heard that Albert had good attainments in ancient runes. In addition, he was born in a Muggle family and had a natural advantage in Muggle studies. The difficulty of taking all courses was much lower than that of other students.
"Miss McDougal, are you ready to take all the courses?" Professor McGonagall was not worried about Albert, but looked at Katrina next to her. She knew that Katrina was also a very talented wizard, and her sister Isobel was even more of a genius, but she was still a little worried about each other's situation.
“Yes, Professor McGonagall, I’m going to choose them all too.” Katrina nodded and replied.
"You still have time to think about it. There is no need to rush." Professor McGonagall looked at Katrina and reminded kindly: "Albert has his advantage in this aspect. Even if he chooses all the courses, he will not be given too much. It’s a lot of pressure, but you are different. I have seen many students try to take all the courses, but they persisted to the end, and not many wizards got twelve certificates.”
“Different from me?” Katrina was stunned when she heard this, as if she was thinking about the difference between the two parties.
"Mr. Anderson, are you sure you are ready to select them all?" Professor McGonagall turned to look at Albert again.
"Well, I asked other people, and they said I wanted to apply for something to solve the problem of class time conflicts." Albert said casually.
"I'm also going to choose them all." Katrina glanced at Albert with a complicated expression, nodded towards Professor McGonagall, and affirmed: "I believe I can do it, and I can do it."
"All right."
Professor McGonagall motioned for the two of them to follow her to the office.
"If you plan to take all the courses, you need to apply for a special time turner from the Ministry of Magic." Professor McGonagall motioned the two of them to sit down. "Mr. Anderson is very good. I think the Ministry of Magic will definitely approve it. As for McDougal Miss, your grades are also very good, and you are very likely to be approved."
"Time turner?" Albert narrowed his eyes and said softly: "I heard... there is a magic spell called the hour reversal spell, which can allow people to go back to a few hours ago."
Professor McGonagall opened her mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.
Katrina was a little confused, but she also guessed what the so-called time turner was.
"Then you should know that the hour reversal spell is a dangerous and unstable spell." Professor McGonagall's eyes became stern, staring at Albert with an oppressive gaze.
"Of course, I value my life." Albert shook his head. "It is impossible to joke about this, let alone risk my own life."
“You are to keep this secret, tell no one about this, and never use the Time-Turner for anything other than studying.”
“I promise.” Albert said simply.
“I promise too.”
"Actually, I saw a similar situation at Hogwarts." Albert suddenly said, "Isobel and Percy should both have time turners!"
Professor McGonagall became silent again after hearing this.
"I've seen Percy appear in two places more than once. To be honest, based on my knowledge of Percy, it's hard to imagine that he would deliberately wander around in front of me." Albert said casually, "Later, I checked the information and found the hour reversal spell. Of course, Percy will definitely not use that kind of unsafe spell, so obviously there are other ways to go back to the past."
Katrina was completely speechless, and she didn't expect that Albert could see the problem just from such a small thing.
“What would you think if you found yourself suddenly appearing in front of you?” Professor McGonagall suddenly asked.
“Is that guy an impostor? Or am I crazy?” Katrina replied.
"If I didn't have a time turner..." Albert said without thinking, "I would definitely suspect that someone drank the compound potion and turned into me."
"Mr. Anderson." Professor McGonagall frowned and reminded, "Many wizards and wizards mistakenly kill their past or future selves and use time turners, so you must be cautious."
"That's because they are too irritable." Albert curled his lips disdainfully and said, "I think even if you really encounter yourself who reverses time and goes back to the past, there are many ways to deal with it. It's best to put away your wand and fight with the opponent. Say hello and say a secret code that only you know to make sure the other person is not an impostor."
“Why was this person sorted into Gryffindor?”
At this moment, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but have such an idea in her mind.
"Mr. Anderson, this is not interesting at all. Time travel must be cautious enough, otherwise it will cause very serious consequences." Professor McGonagall said weakly: "The Ministry of Magic will provide strict guarantees when approving the use of time turners. Censorship. I must remind you that the Ministry of Magic has hundreds of laws surrounding the possession of Time-Turners, while imposing the most severe laws and penalties for their misuse."
"I will pay attention, Professor McGonagall." Albert said seriously, "I promise I will never use it for anything other than studying."
“I hope you will remember your words.”
"Of course, I haven't lived enough, and I never take my own life for granted." Albert promised. He really doesn't play with his life.
Albert chose all the new courses because he actually wanted to get a time turner. Maybe he could trigger a similar task so that he could have one or master the hour reversal spell.
As for danger, aren’t there still panel skills?
Furthermore, you can also try to make a time turner yourself.
The laws of the Ministry of Magic are just farts.
“When did you know about this?” Katrina asked with a complicated expression after leaving Professor McGonagall’s office.
"Everyone has their own secrets, don't they?" Albert blinked and said, "It's very impolite to ask for other people's secrets. What's more, I believe they don't want me to ask. After all, they do the same. Just like Professor McGonagall promised."
“You want to say that I am rude?” Katrina glared at Albert, her face full of: I am very unhappy now.
