Chapter 428: The formula for the magic stone
Hearing that Albert was planning to sell the 2.0 formula of Redness Eliminator, Isobel didn’t pay much attention to it. She actually didn’t care much about the Galleon issue.
At the beginning, when he gave up becoming the heir of Wild Smith, he had already given up a large amount of wealth.
“When will you launch redness remover version 3.0?” Isobel has always wanted to complain about this name. Albert’s naming skills are really average, and most of the things he makes are named like this.
“Not yet.”
“Not yet?”
Based on her understanding of Albert, she did not think that Albert would give up the redness remover easily. He only earned 500 galleons, which was undoubtedly a loss-making business, and Albert had never been a person who liked to suffer losses.
“There will be a Redness Eliminator version 3.0 in the future.” Albert said without thinking.
“It’s just as I guessed.” Isobel leaned over and kissed Albert’s cheek, then walked towards the door of the Room of Requirement with her packed schoolbag.
“It’s time for me to go. Remember to call me if you need anything.”
"I will."
Albert took out his pocket watch from his pocket and glanced at the time. After Isobel left, he took out his time converter and set the time back one hour ago.
After leaving the Room of Requirement, Albert walked directly towards the hall. Lee Jordan was already dining, his mouth full of beef, he greeted Albert inarticulately, and then continued to eat.
“Where are Fred and George?”
Albert served himself a large bowl of beef stew with potatoes and sat down on the chair next to Lee Jordan.
“The Gryffindor team has a Quidditch practice today.” Lee Jordan swallowed the food in his mouth and said sympathetically, looking above his head, “They are not very lucky.”
Albert knew what the other party meant by bad luck. There had been continuous rainy days recently, and it was still raining on the ceiling of the hall. Quidditch training on rainy days was undoubtedly very hard.
“Well, it’s very hard.”
Albert responded, stuffed a piece of beef into his mouth, and ate it silently.
“I’m going to the library, see you later.” Lee Jordan hurriedly left after dinner.
He went to the library not because he wanted to study seriously, but because he hadn't finished his homework this week. If he didn't work hard to finish his homework now, his trip to Hogsmeade in mid-February would have to stay in Homework is done at school.
The Weasley brothers are in a similar situation. Because of Wood's special devil training, they have also accumulated a lot of homework and may not have time to go to Hogsmeade next time.
Pitiful.
Not joining the Quidditch team was indeed the right choice.
Just after dinner, when Albert passed through the foyer, he happened to meet the Gryffindor team who had just returned to the castle from training.
George was in a bit of a miserable condition, he was covered in filth, as if he had just been fished out of the mud. If Filch were here, he would probably be happy to accuse them of defiling the castle.
“Fall off the broom?” Albert asked jokingly.
“How did you know I fell off the broom.”
Albert was speechless immediately. Did you really fall off the broom?
“Did you fall down on purpose?”
"No." George lowered his voice deliberately, as if he was saying something very scary, "I heard Wood say that Snape was going to be the referee, and he accidentally fell off the broom."
Albert had no feeling about Snape acting as a referee. He took out his wand from his pocket and helped George clean up most of the mud and water on his body.
“He will definitely try his best to find excuses to deduct points from the Gryffindor team!”
Not only George, but everyone else's expressions were not good-looking.
"This is very unfair. I really don't know what Professor McGonagall thinks. Does she really believe that Snape can preside over the game fairly?" Fred couldn't help complaining.
To expect Snape to be fair is better than to expect Snape to hand out candies to everyone on Halloween.
“Any good suggestions?” Wood asked Albert.
"How about adding some laxatives to the food so that the old bat can't play the game that day." A malicious smile appeared on Albert's face.
“That’s a good idea.” Fred and George almost agreed with both hands and feet. In fact, the rest of the team, with the exception of Wood, agreed with Abbott's plan.
“Stop it,” Wood interrupted.
"I think you should end the game as soon as possible so that Snape doesn't have much time to favor the Hufflepuff team." Albert reached out and patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "You need to work harder."
“I would like to catch the Golden Snitch as soon as possible.” Harry said helplessly, “It’s just that the Golden Snitch is not that easy to catch.”
"Okay, don't think too much. Today's dinner is very rich, including potatoes and beef stew. If you go late, there will only be potatoes left." Albert comforted him casually, preparing to go back to the common room. , I was too full to eat tonight and was too lazy to do anything else.
“Let’s go have dinner first!”
Wood used a drying spell to evaporate the water stains on everyone's bodies and went directly to the hall. They didn't want to miss dinner.
On the way back to the common room, Albert met Hermione, or Miss Granger, who was waiting for him there specially.
“You want to ask about that old parchment?”
When Albert saw Hermione appear, he had already guessed what the other party wanted to say.
Hermione's little thoughts were seen through, and she nodded a little awkwardly.
"I have already translated it. That piece of parchment contains information about how to make the Philosopher's Stone." Albert glanced at the figure at the corner, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up in pleasure.
What a coincidence!
Professor Quirrell originally planned to take a detour, but probably after hearing Albert talking about the Philosopher's Stone, he changed his mind and walked towards them.
"Hermione asked confusedly, "Philosopher's Stone, what is that? "
"You can go to the library to find information by yourself." Albert took out a prepared piece of parchment from the belt of the deformed lizard and handed it to Hermione.
"Thanks."
Hermione took the parchment, flipped through it hurriedly, and went directly to the library to find information about the Philosopher's Stone.
Professor Quirrell, who had eavesdropped on their conversation, also left in a hurry.
The formula of the Philosopher's Stone was very tempting to Quirrell, who was interested in the Philosopher's Stone. He even had the idea of making one himself if he couldn't steal the Philosopher's Stone.
Of course Quirrell also knew how valuable the Philosopher's Stone was, and that it could not be easily made by himself, but everything needed a little hope, and he didn't mind taking the time to try it.
So, by the time Albert met Hermione again, she had forgotten about the Philosopher's Stone, and the parchment recording the Philosopher's Stone formula had also disappeared.
There is no doubt that Quirrell secretly took the formula about the Philosopher's Stone from Hermione, and also cast a forgetting spell to make Hermione forget about the Philosopher's Stone formula.
