Chapter 936 Tutorial
“This way!”
As soon as Albert walked into the hall, he saw George standing up from his seat and waving to him.
After Albert sat down at the empty seat specially reserved for the three of them, Lee Jordan, who had been chatting with others, suddenly turned around and asked: "What were you talking about with Professor Flitwick? Why have you been gone for so long?"
“Talk about something important.”
At this moment, a junior girl hurriedly walked over, lowered her head and handed a note to Albert and said: "Professor Snape asked me to pass this note to Anderson." gentlemen."
"Thank you." Albert took the note and thanked the little girl with a smile.
"You're welcome."
As soon as the girl's eyes met Albert's, she immediately lowered her head with her face flushed with embarrassment, stammered back "You're welcome", and stumbled away.
“You are still as popular as ever among the girls.” The three of them burst into laughter.
“If you are envious, go find a girlfriend quickly.”
Albert glanced at the trio with evil smiles on their faces and said, "When you have girlfriends, you won't be envious of this kind of thing."
George coughed lightly, smiled and joked: "Don't tell me, Snape also wants to have afternoon tea with you."
This kind of thing is almost impossible to happen. One day if Snape really invites someone to drink tea, maybe the mysterious person will pop out of the cemetery the next day.
Albert unfolded the note, quickly read the content on it, and opened his mouth in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
Several people saw Albert's surprised reaction and leaned their heads over to see what Snape had written on the note.
“See for yourselves!”
Albert had a slightly strange expression and handed the note to George.
George took the note and spread it out to share with Fred next to him. Lee Jordan also leaned over to read the contents of the note with the two of them.
Subsequently, the three of them could not help but widen their eyes with expressions of disbelief.
"I've never heard of Snape tutoring anyone," muttered Fred.
"That's not the point. The point is that Albert still needs to make up lessons. Damn it." George also didn't understand what Snape meant. He only felt that the content on the note was ridiculous.
“Are you sure someone is not playing a prank on purpose?” Li Jordan also felt that this incident was fake, more like someone was playing a prank on purpose.
Albert understood the content of the letter, but he also thought it was a hell. He never thought that Dumbledore was going to let Snape teach him fighting skills?
It's a pity that he doesn't believe in fake Moody, and he doesn't want to have too much contact with Snape.
What's more, Albert has just convinced Professor Flitwick to teach him fighting skills, so why bother with Snape?
Although I didn’t plan to go, I still had to write a reply to Snape, politely refuse, explain the reasons, and show my respect for the professors.
“This is not a prank.”
Albert briefly told a few good friends that he would go to Dumbledore and hope that the principal could teach him fighting skills.
"I think Principal Dumbledore should let Professor Moody teach you combat skills. He is a very good Auror himself." Fred thought this was nonsense and asked the Dean of Slytherin to teach a Gryffindor students are just looking for trouble.
"I told Principal Dumbledore that I don't believe in Moody." Albert made no secret of his distrust of Moody. "And, actually, I hope that Professor Dumbledore can teach me combat skills in person. He is very good in this aspect." Experience."
“Dumbledore is probably too busy,” Lee Jordan speculated.
"God knows what Mr. Headmaster is thinking. Anyway, I have just talked with Professor Flitwick." Albert shrugged.
Actually, even if the negotiation was not settled just now, it must be settled. Anyway, Albert had no intention of learning combat skills from Snape.
“Well, you really started to dislike us.” Fred pretended to be sad.
"Eat your food." Albert glanced at Fred, who turned into a showman, with disgust, shook his head and said, "Now it's best to find an experienced wizard to teach us fighting skills. Of course, you learn now There's no harm in having some Auror knowledge, but those things are actually of little use to me."
"What do you think our level is now?" Fred and George exchanged glances and asked curiously.
“I should be able to barely be a trainee Auror.” Albert said without thinking.
Actually, Albert didn't know what the level of Aurors in the Ministry of Magic was, but he was confident that he could knock down one or two Aurors head-on. Because Aurors don't cast unforgivable curses randomly, in many cases, institutional personnel like the Ministry of Magic are not dangerous. They will not easily cross the line, let alone appear suddenly to tell you about Avada Kedavra.
After eating, Albert began to write a letter.
One of the letters was prepared for Snape, declining his invitation to "make up lessons" and bluntly stating that Professor Flitwick was willing to teach him fighting skills.
As for the other letter, it was written to Sirius Black, reminding him that the third project was dangerous, and secretly hinting that Sirius should take time to teach Harry how to fight and protect himself. Then he might also be able to compete with Sirius. magic.
The two letters were quickly sent by Albert.
We also encountered some trouble during this period. The owls who delivered the letters were a little reluctant to go out because the cold wind in March was not good at all. It was not a good weather to go out to deliver letters. The cold wind might have blown them away as soon as they went out.
Therefore, Albert decisively arranged the easiest job for Sheila. As for the letter to Sirius, he chose the strongest owl and comforted it for a long time before letting the owl deliver the letter to him obediently.
That night, Snape, who received the letter, had a distorted expression on his face after reading Albert's reply. He had never thought of agreeing to Dumbledore to teach Albert fighting skills, but he was directly rejected by the other party. , the excuse still left Snape speechless.
After reading the letter, Snape sneered and threw the note into the fireplace and burned it.
Professor Flitwick promised to teach Albert fighting skills?
It’s just that, for some reason, Snape became angrier as he thought about it.
All right.
He always felt that he had been tricked by Dumbledore.
The current situation looks like Albert Anderson went to learn combat skills from Dumbledore, but Dumbledore did not agree to teach him personally and planned to teach the other party combat skills himself.
The two parties did not explain things clearly, or Dumbledore did not explain things clearly. As a result, Anderson decisively gave up on Dumbledore and found a new teacher for himself.
He foolishly agreed to Dumbledore and wrote a letter to him. Thinking of this, Snape became very angry.
Finally, he felt that he couldn't bear to feel bad, so he went to Dumbledore to share the good news with him.
Dumbledore was a little helpless after receiving the news. He did not expect that Albert was so efficient and could find a professor willing to teach him fighting skills so quickly.
Professor Flitwick was once a dueling champion, and he was also a professor, so he would definitely be qualified.
It's just that Moody and Snape are obviously better at dealing with dark wizards.
After getting the news from Snape, Dumbledore also realized that Albert had never expected him to teach him fighting skills from the beginning. The other party came to him just to try his luck, and even the backup candidates had been selected. Okay, maybe Professor Flitwick is more than just a backup.
To be honest, Dumbledore regretted not clarifying the matter at that time. As Phineas said, Albert was a very good friend. He even considered the possibility of pulling him into the Order of the Phoenix, but Dumbledore How could Lido have thought that after Albert received the signal that he was not going to teach him, he would just sneak away so neatly that Dumbledore was almost unable to recommend a suitable candidate to Albert. Didn't say it out loud.
What Dumbledore didn't expect was that Professor Moody, whom he thought was the most suitable person to teach Albert, ended up getting a disbelief from Albert.
“I don’t believe in Alastor. Is this an excuse, or...do I really not believe in him?”
After careful consideration, Dumbledore felt that the latter was more likely. People like Albert would be more willing to trust their own judgment, so Alastor has always been a suspicious guy in the eyes of the other party?
What is suspicious? What did you overlook?
Dumbledore and Alastor Moody have known each other for half a century and found nothing suspicious about the other person.
Is it a prophecy?
No, if the prophecy really pointed out Alastor, he should have told himself about it.
Looking at the troubled Dumbledore, when Snape turned to leave, he suddenly felt that his bad mood seemed to have improved.
…
…
At noon the next day, Sirius finally received Albert's letter.
After reading the letter, Sirius was very angry because Dumbledore might have asked Harry to learn fighting skills from Snape.
Well, of course Albert didn't tell Sirius so directly, he just hinted that he had received a "make-up lesson" note from Snape and pointed out the fact that he had a premonition that the third project was dangerous.
The meaning is obvious, anyway, Sirius can definitely see what Albert wants him to understand.
Just as Albert expected, Sirius's first thought after seeing this letter was: How can Harry learn from a slug? What if he is bullied by a slug?
I am not dead yet!
Sirius has also heard about Harry's glorious deeds in recent years, and he simply likes to cause trouble more than James.
Moreover, the things I encountered were all thrilling and big scenes: for example, in the first grade, I faced off against Voldemort in order to protect the Sorcerer's Stone. When I was in second grade, I ran into the secret room and killed a basilisk. In the third grade, Harry had an encounter with himself, the prisoner, and Peter, the traitor. In the end, Lupine turned into a werewolf. If Albert hadn't been present, God knows how it would have ended.
What about this year?
Who knows what will happen.
Albert mentioned in the letter that the third event of the Triwizard Tournament is very dangerous. Even a guy as powerful as Albert feels that his life is threatened. Something will definitely happen, and this incident is probably aimed at Harry went.
If possible, Sirius really wants Harry to give up participating in the Triwizard Tournament, but due to the Goblet of Fire contract, Harry cannot give up the competition, so what Sirius can do now is to let Harry do well." "Wanquan" is ready to go to the "battlefield" again. Their goal is not to win the championship, but to wait until the end of the game alive, so things are easier than expected.
Also, Sirius felt that it was necessary to write a letter to Dumbledore to remind them to strengthen the security measures for the third project so that Harry could be rescued in a short time.
If it were in the past, Sirius would definitely not believe what Albert said, thinking that most fortune tellers are liars, but after being awakened by Albert with the truth one after another, Sirius now would rather believe it, and he does not think that Albert Bert had to lie to him, how boring would it be to do that.
“Remus, I have something to discuss with you.” Sirius called to Lupine who was preparing food for the owl in the kitchen. He thought it was best to discuss this matter with Lupine. Lupine had been a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and was obviously better at teaching people than him. It would undoubtedly be more reliable for the two of them to teach Harry fighting skills together than if he were alone. .
For Harry, Sirius unknowingly became reliable. After all, Harry himself was unreliable, and if his godfather was unreliable, it would be even less reliable.
After helping the owl straighten its feathers that were blown around by the wind, Sirius sent it back to Hogwarts with the letter.
After Harry received Sirius's letter, he was very happy that Sirius actually planned to come over and teach him magic.
It's just that Harry is a little confused. Sirius seems to be worried that he will encounter danger in the third event of the Triwizard Tournament?
"It's no accident that your name appears in the Goblet of Fire. There have been no accidents so far. If someone really wants to do something, the third project is their last chance." Hermione couldn't help but read Sirius's letter. He frowned and said, "Just, why is Sirius so sure that there will be an accident in the third project? Did he know some news in advance?"
"Don't you think it's cool?" Ron didn't care about Hermione's analysis at all, and said to himself: "Can we go with you then? I think Sirius is right, you should receive training , you cannot participate in the third event without preparation, even if it is not to compete for the championship, at least you can protect yourself."
"Hermione, do you want to come with me then?" Harry looked at Hermione.
"Of course, let's get together then." Hermione nodded. She always felt that this incident was a bit abnormal. Sirius must have got some news, and it was expected that Harry would be attacked.
Compared with Harry, Dumbledore was a little confused after receiving Sirius's letter, because Sirius wrote that he and Lupine planned to take time to come to Hogwarts on the weekend, hoping to train in the Forbidden Forest. Lee so that Harry can get through the third project smoothly.
Sirius also secretly hinted to Dumbledore at the end of the letter that there was no need to find an additional professor for Harry to teach him Defense Against the Dark Arts.
