Chapter 439 The fear of being dominated
Hogwarts is actually a very small school. As long as something happens, it will be spread to everyone quickly. Especially when they heard that Albert gave Professor Snape a prophecy, countless people almost shocked themselves. chin.
Some people admired Albert's courage for actually daring to scare Professor Snape with the prophecy.
On the other hand, Harry and Ron, who witnessed the whole process with their own eyes, almost became Albert's loyal supporters. Nothing made them happier than seeing Malfoy in trouble or seeing Snape deflated.
Of course, some people are more curious about whether the two prophecies are true. Those students who didn't like Professor Snape sincerely hoped that their Potions Professor would get his wish and become a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
There are not many students who take Albert's predictions seriously. Most people are unwilling to admit that Albert has the ability to predict. Obviously everyone is a student, so why are you so good?
However, Snape already believed some of these two prophecies, especially what Albert said: Be wary of black and white.
Snape, who had been a double agent, naturally knew the meaning of this sentence. Black and white undoubtedly described himself vividly. Snape did not believe that Albert knew his past, but if Albert could really predict If so, we can make it clear.
Could Albert Anderson really predict?
Snape didn't know either. He had talked about it with Dumbledore, but Dumbledore didn't know either, because he had also looked through Albert's detailed information and knew very well that there was no prophet in his ancestors. .
Most of the prophecy masters’ prophecy abilities are talents passed down through the family bloodline.
Of course, it is undeniable that some wizards can possess some prophetic abilities, but will Albert be one of them?
Dumbledore really didn't know, and he didn't plan to ask Albert. Even if he did, the other party would probably just deal with him. He was ready to see how all this would develop and whether Albert had a prophecy. ability.
Comparing the calmness of the two of them, Malfoy's situation was even worse. His mental endurance was not as good as Snape's, and he was driven almost crazy by Albert's so-called prophecy.
In the end, he could only write a letter home to explain the current situation and seek help from his parents. Lucius Malfoy came to visit Snape the next night.
In fact, Lucius does not believe in so-called prophecies. As a pure-blood wizard, he knows better than anyone else how difficult it is to become a prophet.
Can a Muggle wizard really be a seer?
The probability is really very small.
Lucius was very dissatisfied with his son's embarrassment and gave Draco a severe lesson. He was very dissatisfied that Draco could be frightened by a few words from the other party.
The worst part was that Draco felt that Albert's prophecy might be true. Lucius had no choice but to use the Forgetting Curse to erase the part of his son's memory about Albert's prophecy, allowing him to completely forget these things.
After watching Draco leave, Lucius looked at Snape again and said, "I heard that he also gave you a prophecy?"
Snape just nodded his head, looked at his old friend calmly and said: "Don't worry about that guy, he can't afford anything, and tell Draco to stay away from him. Albert Anderson holds a grudge. Nothing good ever comes of dealing with him.”
“The person who sent you the anonymous package is not him. His owl is white, and the owl that sent you the package last time was obviously not his owl.”
"Yes, I understand." Lucius understood what Snape meant, nodded and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he asked his old friend to help take care of his son.
Snape also agreed.
The events of Albert's prophecy faded away within a few days, eventually being replaced by the Slytherin-Ravenclaw match.
The Ravenclaw team lost to the Slytherin team as everyone expected. Although the game was not one-sided at the beginning, the Ravenclaw team's situation was not good and they eventually lost the game.
“Are you going to participate in the wizard card competition?”
In the private library of the Room of Requirement, Albert was quite surprised after hearing Isobel's words. He never thought that his girlfriend, who had been busy reviewing her homework, actually planned to take time to participate in the second Wizarding Card Competition?
"not welcome?"
“I thought you didn’t have time.
“I need to relax sometimes, is Katrina going to compete?”
“I’d better forget it.” Katrina shook the parchment in her hand, indicating that she was already too busy with her heavy schoolwork.
Although with the help of Albert and Isobel, Katrina's pressure is not as great as before, but she still has a lot of things to do every day. For example, I have to write a bunch of papers every week, and sometimes I have to keep writing until my hands get sore.
As for the automatic quill pen invented by Albert, it was very difficult to use. It was not able to memorize as quickly as the shorthand quill pen. The automatic quill pen would only record the words on the parchment paper according to the thoughts in the mind.
Using it to write an article is faster than using a pen directly.
Katrina looked at Isobel's leaving back and said hesitantly: "Will we become like Isobel when we reach fifth grade?"
Isobel is undoubtedly a genius among geniuses. There are few students who can match her. If even she feels tired, what will they do then?
Even if you use a time converter, you still need to learn it yourself, and people’s energy is limited.
Look at Percy Weasley, who is also a top student. He is also in a very bad situation. His daily homework and review knowledge are almost breaking his nerves. His temper has become very anxious, and he does not like to rest in public. Staying in the room, Percy Weasley always ran to the library.
Katrina suddenly felt a little afraid that she would be like that in fifth grade.
“That will happen in the future, and it’s not too late to worry about it!” Albert was not worried, after all, he was a man of integrity.
"By the way, I heard that you gave Snape a prophecy." Katrina said suddenly.
"Well, I'm just scaring them. Who made Malfoy want to touch my cat?" Albert looked like it was not my fault. Anyway, he would only tell others about it, but he was just talking casually. Believe it or not, it has little to do with him.
“Give me a prophecy!” Katrina said suddenly.
“What do you want to predict?” Albert asked, “And my prediction is not free.”
“How many galleons?” Katrina asked.
“Well, because we are familiar with each other, I will give you a preferential price of ten galleons.” Albert smiled and held up his hands.
“It’s so expensive.” Katrina couldn’t help rolling her eyes, “I don’t have any galleons in my pocket, and you, a third-rate prophet, charge so much.”
"Even a third-rate prophet is still a prophet." Albert reminded with a smile: "And how do you know that my prediction is inaccurate?"
“I don’t have any galleons,” Katrina said angrily.
"You can go to the wizard card competition, and the winner will get ten galleons." Albert didn't quite understand why Katrina wasn't going to participate in the wizard card competition.
“Forget it, if Isobel participates in the wizard card competition, no one will be her opponent except you.” Katrina said helplessly, “I have never seen her lose since she was a child.”
She added in her heart: Those who lose to me on purpose will not count!
