"I feel like you guys have been acting mysterious lately."
As soon as Albert entered the dormitory, he noticed that Fred and the other two, who had been talking in a low voice, suddenly stopped talking. It was obvious that there was something they didn't want him to know.
"How dare you say we are secretive?" George resisted the urge to complain and rolled his eyes at Albert.
"Yes, that's right!" Fred nodded in agreement.
"What are you doing with Professor Broad?" Li Jordan asked back, obviously trying to change the subject!
"I'm helping Professor Broad organize some documents. As you know, I'm good at ancient magic." Albert didn't lie, he just spoke vaguely.
"I don't believe you," Fred pouted.
"What were you talking about just now?" Albert asked back.
"you guess?"
"Are you planning to look for Gryffindor's secret treasure?" Albert looked at them suspiciously. He had not forgotten about the Gryffindor treasure map.
"Well, do you want to come along?" Lee Jordan asked.
"You traitor." Fred waved his little fist at Lee Jordan in dissatisfaction.
"With Albert's help, our chances of success will be greater. The Forbidden Forest is not safe." Li Jordan disagreed with the two people's views. In his opinion, Albert was more reliable than the twins.
"Forget it!" Albert shook his head and refused. "I think you should stay out of the woods. Hagrid looks very angry. Be careful that you get detained."
"I told him he wouldn't be interested," George muttered. "Just don't let Hagrid see us when we go into the woods."
"I knew you would say that, but don't go too deep. It is said that there is a farm for eight-eyed giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest. Be careful not to feed the eight-eyed giant spiders." Albert was not surprised at all and reminded casually.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb." Fred complained dissatisfiedly. This guy always speaks bad things.
"Okay." Albert took McDougal's notes out of his pocket and began to read them.
"What is this?" George came over and asked.
"Professor Broad's friend lent me these notes about ancient magic runes." Albert flipped through a few pages and found a letter from Professor Broad to McDougal. Did McDougal know Professor Broad a long time ago
"It seems that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is very nice to you." Li Jordan was a little jealous.
“We do have a good relationship.”
"No, no, it's scary good," George corrected.
"Oh." Albert nodded to show that he knew.
However, Albert believed that the relationship between the two sides depended on the exchange of knowledge levels. Two people who were equally good at ancient magic runes communicated with each other, and the other party, as an older senior, gave some kind of help to his young junior.
Like Professor McGonagall said, maintain friendly correspondence with those famous wizards, and his relationship with Professor Broad is just a step further.
After all, there is a professor-student relationship between the two parties.
From this notebook, it is not difficult to see that Professor Broad's relationship with McDougal is similar to his own. The ancient magic runes discussed in the correspondence, or the relevant contents left in the correspondence with other wizards are all in the notebook.
This part of the content was not too difficult for Albert, but it was very novel and broadened his horizons.
By the time the second half of the notebook was written, several years had passed and McDougal had already graduated from Hogwarts.
McDougal recorded in it that he was suddenly told that he had obtained a special identity, was given the right to read a bunch of ancient documents, and began to learn some ancient spells.
"Special identity?" Albert continued to read.
McDougal has begun to master how to use ancient magic runes to cast spells.
“I can feel its specialness!”
McDougal left this sentence in his notebook.
"It's late, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Fred muttered in confusion, "Be careful you won't be able to get up tomorrow."
"I'm going to sleep too, good night." Albert suppressed a yawn, turned off the lights, lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, when Albert woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
Everyone else in the dormitory went out. Albert stretched out, leaned back on the pillow, picked up the notebook he had not finished reading last night and continued reading it.
McDougal began to learn some ancient magic. The spells were powerful, but they were not very sophisticated.
The notebook contained the name of the spell, but did not contain the spell and gesture used to cast it, which made Albert a little disappointed.
The next few pages are all about this, as well as McDougal's speculation about the ancient magic runes.
From the records, it is not difficult to see that McDougal studied and explored the special features of ancient magic runes, but gained nothing.
Albert noticed one thing that was mentioned in the correspondence between McDougal and Dumbledore, where they were discussing the topic of Dumbledore letting the Patronus speak.
Unfortunately, there was no follow-up, and the following written records did not mention this matter again. Moreover, this notebook also ended here, without any follow-up. It should be said that there may be another one.
"Can I feel that it's special?" Albert quickly got up and went to Professor Broad's office.
McDougal did show up, but he looked a little tired.
"Have you finished?" McDougal noticed Albert holding his notebook.
"Yes, I've finished reading it, but unfortunately, I still didn't find what I was looking for. There should be the other half of the notes, right?" Albert asked tentatively.
"No more." McDougal shook his head.
"No more?" Albert was a little stunned. The other party actually said that there was no more
"Okay, I'm just joking." McDougal said with a smile, "But it's really gone. You know, why are runes considered to have magical powers?"
"You mean, when it was being carved, magical power was injected into it?" Albert expressed his guess.
"Yes, but also not right." McDougal said softly, "I can't tell you the real answer, because my understanding is based on my understanding of magic runes. If you can't reach that level, it will be difficult to understand and use it."
Albert was silent, and listened quietly to McDougal continue.
"You need to be very proficient in the use of runes, and secondly, you need to have a strong magical power as a foundation. The third is to be proficient in the use of ancient spells." McDougal said, "These are the three processes I went through."
"You have already completed the first step, but your magic power is not strong enough, and you are not familiar enough with the magic of ancient runes. Fortunately, you have already touched that hurdle, and you are not far from crossing it."
The corner of Albert's mouth twitched. He hated such vague statements.
You're not a charlatan.
Explain things to me clearly!
Otherwise, just invest the experience into Magician's skills and upgrade Magician directly to level 3. Then there won't be so many troubles.
At this moment, Albert suddenly remembered something, "Professor Broad, can you give me a certificate? I want to borrow books about ancient magic in the restricted area."
"Okay!" Professor Brod actually agreed. He turned around and wrote on the parchment: Mr. Albert Anderson is allowed to borrow books on ancient magic in the restricted area. Bad Brod.
"Good luck." Albert muttered and left with the note from Professor Broad.
"Why not tell him?" Professor Broad asked puzzledly.
"What's the use? Didn't I tell you? You still haven't learned it yet, and you still think I'm fooling you." McDougal glanced at Professor Broad and continued, "Albert is a genius. We just need to give him some guidance. You should trust your own judgment."
