Chapter 942 Butterfly Wings
In a remote corner of the Hogwarts library, Albert frowned as he stared at the defense against the dark arts manuscript he had compiled previously. He found that many contents of the manuscript in his hand needed to be revised.
Since learning combat skills from Professor Flitwick, he has a new perspective on certain things. The defense against the dark arts manuscript that he spent a lot of time writing now looks more like a bunch of empty theories filled with gorgeous words. .
Perhaps, this is what is called growth.
Of course, Albert is not in a hurry to delete his manuscript. Before he has learned all the knowledge and experience from Professor Flitwick, revising the manuscript is just to prepare for the next revision.
He took out a piece of parchment and began to record his views and understanding of certain things on it to prepare for subsequent comprehensive revisions.
“I hope I didn’t disturb you!”
Hermione didn't know when she sat down on the right side of Albert, looking at what Albert was writing with interest.
As if aware of the sight coming from somewhere, Albert raised his head and looked in the direction of the sight. After catching a glimpse of a certain football star behind the bookcase not far away, he looked back at Hermione beside him and asked with a smile, " How's your training going over there?"
"It's great. I learned a lot of useful knowledge from Sirius and Professor Lupin." Hermione lowered her voice and shared with Albert about the training in the Forbidden Forest some time ago.
Even though she and Ron were just training with Harry, they learned a lot of useful knowledge.
However, judging from Hermione's tone, the other party seemed to hope that he could also go to training together and learn something useful from Professor Black and Lupin.
Albert could tell that Hermione had good intentions and just smiled.
What Professors Black and Lupine taught Potter was actually of no use to him. Those were the most basic knowledge. The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was supposed to teach everyone this knowledge, but this course was too hip-reaching. , resulting in Hogwarts students basically not learning any useful knowledge.
Hermione noticed the smile on Albert's face and seemed to realize something. She said to herself: "That's right. The knowledge we are learning now is only the most basic thing for you."
"It never hurts to learn more about self-protection." Albert comforted softly, "The Defense Against the Dark Arts class in our school is really bad. If you want to get high scores in this class, take a class with Sirius and It would be a good choice to learn more from Professor Lupine."
To be honest, since Albert competed with Professor Flitwick, he has doubts about the overall strength of the entire British wizarding community.
Let alone Ronald Smith, who has grass growing on his grave, other guys who have played against him feel that they are not weak.
Death Eaters who are good at black magic are not gangsters. They are guys who can stand up to Aurors. How weak can they be?
As for Aurors, only elites who can get high scores in school exams, and those who have passed through layers of screening can become Aurors, and the overall level cannot be improved.
Well, although wizards are a group of guys with high attack and low defense, the entire wizarding world gave him the illusion that the entire wizarding world was very cool during the final decisive battle at Hogwarts.
Does it mean that the Savior actually has a numerical advantage, or are all Voldemort's sides filled with water monsters?
The novel is not easy to get into, but Potter did indeed solve the basilisk in the secret room alone. This cannot be false, although Albert does not know what happened in the secret room.
But there was something odd about the whole thing to him.
Because Harry Potter actually gave Albert a very weak overall feeling, not even as good as Fred, George and Lee Jordan who were trained by him.
Sure enough, it should be said that the halo of Porter's protagonist is too strong?
Noticing that Albert was deep in thought, Hermione asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing." Albert smiled and changed the subject, "By the way, have you caught Rita Skeeter?"
"No, I haven't found the beetle that Rita Skeeter turned into yet." Hermione seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "By the way, there is one more thing. I found that Sirius seemed to be very wary of Professor Moody. Do you know why? ?"
Hermione told Albert about Professor Moody's appearance when everyone was resting and suggested that Harry become an Auror.
“Professor Moody also believes Harry should give up the game to ensure his own safety.”
“Abandon the game?” Albert repeated.
"What are you going to do, give up the game too?" Hermione asked expectantly. She actually didn't want Albert to take risks, especially when she heard that the third project involved Voldemort's conspiracy. She actually hoped that Harry and Albert would give up the competition and put their own safety as the first priority.
"Let's talk about it then, I haven't thought about it yet." Albert really hasn't thought about it well. "If it feels really dangerous, I will give up the game and wait for the end of the game at the exit of the maze."
"As for the suspicion of Professor Moody, it is normal. The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts actually has some problems. Whether it is Quirrell who is possessed by a mysterious man, or the great liar Lockhart, or even werewolves and Lupine is a close friend of the fugitive, so it is normal for Sirius to suspect Professor Moody." Albert shrugged, "Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised even if Professor Moody is a fake."
When hearing Albert say "werewolves and escaped convicts", Hermione couldn't help but narrowed her eyes and looked at Albert, obviously not liking this statement.
"This was the case last year. You can't deny that Professor Lupine's identity was very problematic before the truth was revealed." Albert reminded.
“You think there’s something wrong with Professor Moody.”
"Perhaps, since troubles often happen in that position, it never hurts to look at it with suspicion." Albert actually couldn't understand what Moody was doing, and he didn't understand why the other party gave Harry such advice.
Unknowingly, he thought Moody was thinking about Porter's safety.
All right.
In fact, Albert would have thought so if he had not known better.
But he knew very well that Moody was a fake and planned to attack Potter. Naturally, everything he did was to better prepare Potter to leave Hogwarts.
What if fake Moody just ran away with Harry Potter?
It is not that Albert has not considered this possibility, but Dumbledore should be able to follow the traces left by the door key and directly find the place of Voldemort's resurrection.
So fake Moody will definitely buy time for Voldemort and will never be exposed easily.
However, what if the butterfly **** its wings and kills Harry?
Albert thought with malice.
The savior Potter was killed by the demon, and the subsequent plot changed completely.
If it really changes like that, just lift the table, push Dumbledore forward, and let him confront Voldemort.
As for letting Albert go against Voldemort, forget it!
Your own life is very precious.
…
“Where are you now?”
“What?” Hermione was startled by Albert’s words.
"Your relationship with Krum." Albert looked at Hermione's astonished expression and asked in confusion, "Didn't he take the initiative to ask you on a date?"
“We’re just friends.” Hermione said dryly.
“Ordinary friends will not invite you to their homes during the summer vacation.” Albert pointed out the flaw with a smile.
"Really just ordinary friends we can talk to." Hermione said with a blush.
“No need to explain it to me.” Albert comforted.
"It's not shameful to find someone you like." He said softly, "Sometimes if you like it, you have to seize the opportunity. Some boys are like idiots. If you don't tell him, he won't know. How can you expect him to be there one day? When I suddenly woke up, I didn’t know that I had to wait until the end of the year. Don’t look at me like this, I’m talking about Harry Potter.”
“Harry?”
Hermione agreed with Albert's words. Harry was very emotionally slow, almost like an idiot.
She couldn't help but sigh when she thought of Ginny, who had always had a crush on Harry.
"Krum is not bad, but he is not brave enough. If he were me, he would definitely come here instead of preparing to block me later."
Hermione didn't want to talk to Albert about Krum. She and Krum were just ordinary friends. Although Hermione knew what Krum wanted to do, she actually knew that foreign relationships basically had no good results. Therefore, we pay more attention to the friendship between the two parties.
“Where are you and Isobel?”
“We all have a mature mentality and know what we want.” Albert shrugged.
“Can I see this?”
"That's no problem." Albert pushed the folder to Hermione, "But the contents inside may not be of much use to you."
The corner fell silent again, Hermione flipping through the Defense Against the Dark Arts manuscript.
Albert continued to write about his feelings during the recent period. Anyway, he recorded it first. Although it may be a bit bloated, it doesn't matter. He will make some edits when the time comes. This is his experience in writing novels in his previous life.
If you don’t want to delete it, the worst it can do is make the content waterier.
“Are you going to publish it?”
Hermione discovered that the content of the manuscript was actually almost completed. It contained information on how to protect oneself and guard against dark magic. However, she could see in it Albert's poor prediction of the future, as if telling them that Voldemort's resurrection could not be prevented. .
"Yes, people will use it soon." Albert said calmly.
"You seem to think that the mysterious man will rise?" Hermione put down the manuscript and asked in a low voice.
"It's not that I think it, but many prophecies have pointed out this." Albert shook his head and said, "Although the prophecy may not come true, it is still worthy of vigilance, because when most people predict this, you'd better Be cautious. By the way, you can give me a name, I'm not very good at naming."
Hermione didn't know what to name this book for a while, but she still agreed to help Albert think of a title.
Hermione left quickly without saying hello to Krum. She left in a hurry, obviously eager to tell Harry and Ron what she had discovered.
Albert didn’t care about these things. He remembered that he had told many people about it. It didn’t matter if there were a few more. If it happened, he might be able to deceive them better.
He opened his notes, looked at the calendar, estimated the time, and prepared to let Isobel choose a remote house to prepare for their stay in England.
You will be living in a house for most of the next time, and you need to make it comfortable no matter what. Moreover, once you cast the Loyalty Charm on the house, you basically refuse others to visit you.
This is the most annoying thing about the Loyalty Curse. Once it is used, it can no longer be lifted.
By the way, one more thing. I will graduate next semester, and I have to find a way to complete those valuable remaining tasks.
Albert put down his quill and flipped through the mission panel, looking for missions related to Hogwarts. He still remembered that when he first entered school, he triggered several tasks related to Hogwarts.
Thousand-year-old school: Hogwarts.
Current progress: 68%
This is one of the few large-scale tasks with rich rewards, but it is too difficult to complete completely.
If you visit the common rooms of other colleges, and then visit the girls' dormitories and bathrooms, you should be able to reach more than 85%. It will be a bit difficult to continue to improve the rest.
“It should be enough to sneak back during the summer vacation.” Albert wrote this plan in his notebook.
As for the task of reading the madman, the current progress is stuck at 83.
This semester, he rarely looked through the Hogwarts books anymore. It was too difficult to complete this task before graduation.
However, he did not intend to give up on this task. He planned to take time to borrow a few more books to read and complete the task. The mission rewards are quite rich. Although the three random skills are a bit tricky, they are all experience and cannot be given up easily.
Before leaving the library, Albert went to the restricted book section and borrowed a copy of "Poisonous Magic". He had actually read some of this book, and it recorded a lot of black magic, although he felt that most of the black magic in it was It's useless, but if you study it carefully, it's good to use it to improve your progress. And if you want to deal with black magic better, it's best to understand black magic.
As soon as he left the library, he was blocked by others.
“Is something wrong?”
Albert looked at Krum with a gloomy face and asked calmly.
"I want to know," Krum asked in a low voice with a sullen face, "what's going on between you and Hermione?"
"I have a girlfriend, and you should have seen her." Albert didn't care about Klum's eager gaze, and joked with a smile, "So you don't have to worry that I will steal your girlfriend from you."
“Hermione often talks about you.” Krum raised his eyebrows slightly, recalling the beautiful red-haired girl next to Albert during the second project.
"Hermione and I are just good friends." Albert shrugged, "Maybe you should care about Potter."
“Are they dating?”
"Probably not, but Potter still doesn't have a girlfriend." Albert looked at Krum and said, "You must have failed in your pursuit of Hermione, right?"
Krum’s face became even more gloomy, and it was obvious that Albert had hit a sore point.
“Honestly, the chances of you being together are slim.”
Krum stared at Albert with a very unfriendly look, but he still resisted and did not make a move.
"General cross-border relationships usually don't have good results, especially after you go back, it will be very difficult for you to meet each other." Albert reminded kindly, "Unless one of you is desperate to let go of everything. Everything, stay in another country.”
"Are you willing to give up your Quidditch career and stay in England until Hermione comes of age?" Albert asked Krum.
“Are you trying to persuade me to give up?” Krum asked hoarsely.
"No, I'm just telling you how cruel reality is." Albert said calmly, "Hermione is a very smart girl, and she must know this, so she rejected you and only planned to be friends with you. "
Krum was silent. He knew that he would never give up his identity as a Quidditch player and stay in the UK.
"If you want to preserve the friendship between you, I suggest you become friends and keep in touch through letters." Albert smiled and patted Krum on the shoulder. "As long as you keep in touch, there is always a chance. As for the outcome, , it just depends purely on your own level.”
“I think this international star is so frustrated that it’s hard to find a beautiful girl to fall in love with.” Klum couldn’t help complaining.
He really wanted to pursue Hermione, but hearing what Albert said, Krum also knew that his chances were slim.
"Thanks for your advice."
Before leaving, Klum did not forget to express his gratitude to Albert.
He knew that if Hermione didn't find a boyfriend after graduation, he would still have a chance to pursue her.
“What does he want from you?”
As soon as Krum left, Katrina appeared out of nowhere.
“He wants to chase some girl.” Albert said with a smile.
“So, what the magazine said is true, Klum wants to chase that Granger?” Katrina asked curiously, “He came to you to ask for information?”
"Well, I told him the chances are slim." Albert said with a smile, "I suggested that they become friends first and keep in touch."
“You are so bad.” Katrina knew very well that Klum probably had no chance, and even lovers could not withstand such a torment.
"I'm just telling the truth. It's too difficult for a cross-border relationship to have a result, unless one of them is desperate, but most of the time it will end in a tragedy." Albert turned to Katrina and said: "Even Huo Huo Very few Gwartz couples get together after graduation.”
"You are really..." Katrina turned and left. Although she was unwilling to admit it, what Albert said was the truth.
Looking at Katrina's leaving back, Albert was a little curious whether Hermione would marry Ron in the end.
After all, there is a butterfly flapping its wings.
How things will change in the future is really hard to say.
After all, even Hermione's relationship with Krum was led astray by herself.
From Ginny's words later in the novel, it is not difficult to infer that Hermione actually had a short relationship with Krum, and they dated and kissed each other.
This kind of thing is actually normal. Krum was the first boy to appreciate Hermione, and he was also a big star, and he actively pursued her. It doesn't seem strange that the two parties developed a good impression and became a couple, otherwise no one would have invited each other to their home for the summer vacation from the beginning.
It's just that this matter seems to have been messed up by myself.
Because Albert became the first boy to appreciate Hermione, and may even have become Hermione's first love.
Although he is a bit narcissistic, Albert can see that Hermione likes and admires him a little. This can be seen from the fact that Krum specially came to find him.
Being handsome is really important, if he takes the initiative...
Albert quickly put aside the practical thoughts in his head and walked towards the common room.
