As soon as Albert and his friends returned to the common room, they heard other students talking about this year's Halloween performance. The famous Hogwarts choir would present their newly rehearsed chorus to the school's teachers and students on Halloween night.
Hogwarts Choir
Albert recalled the big chorus at last year's entrance ceremony. The group of people were holding big toads in their hands, and it really looked "interesting".
In the common room, Albert sat in an armchair doing his homework. After a long time, he stood up to stretch his body, took out a thick book from his schoolbag, sat back in the armchair, and read slowly.
, and take the opportunity to check out the panel tasks that appeared not long ago.
Dead person.
You accidentally discovered that Peter Pettigrew, who was supposed to be dead, now appeared in Hogwarts. It seems that there is a big secret involved. How can you, who are so curious, give up the opportunity to dig out this secret? Find out why Peter Pettigrew pretended to be dead.
Reward: 2000 experience points, 1 skill point.
"This task is not difficult to accomplish." Albert remembered that Peter Pettigrew pretended to be dead because he was the secret keeper of the Potters, but eventually he defected to Voldemort, resulting in the killing of the Potters who were protected by the Fidelius Charm. Peter Pettigrew also put the blame on Sirius Black, causing him to be arrested and imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years.
If I didn't remember part of the plot, this mission would have been difficult to complete.
Albert sighed in his heart, his eyes falling on another task.
First acquaintance with Mandrake.
You have a preliminary understanding of Mandrake, but the uses of this magical plant far exceed your imagination. Get a Mandrake and study it further.
Reward: Basic knowledge of Mandrake.
When Albert saw the reward for this mission, he was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that there would be such a weird mission reward.
Mandrake basics
common sense
That is, knowledge about Mandrake
But where could I get the mandrake? Could I steal a pot from the greenhouse
To be honest, Albert didn't want to do this if he could, and the stolen mandrakes in the greenhouse were not yet mature.
Could I get a pot of mature Mandrake from the black market
Albert remembered that there was a guy in the Order of the Phoenix who specialized in this kind of thing, but he no longer remembered that guy's name.
Moreover, Albert discovered a big problem: how could he get the items he wanted from the black market!
At Albert's current age, it is really not suitable for him to appear in front of black market merchants.
Could it be possible that I could find someone to buy it for me
Hagrid
Albert immediately shook his head to deny the idea. Hagrid probably wouldn't help him with this matter.
Albert himself couldn't get in touch with these things, otherwise he would expose himself completely.
Why didn't he notice this big problem before
No, it should be said that Albert has actually realized this problem, but he himself believes that he can solve the task problem, but how to solve the age problem... Compound potion
I'm afraid not.
Use the Imperius Curse to control someone to help with the transaction
No, the Imperius Curse itself is illegal, and it would be even more troublesome if someone found out.
Or... write to Hertog Dagworth and ask for help from the potion expert
I'm afraid it won't work. I'm afraid Dagworth won't help.
"Age is indeed the biggest problem!" Albert thought distressedly.
Everything has been going smoothly for a long time, so I started to take things for granted!
It might be hard to find unprocessed mandrake in pharmacies!
Oh, yes, there is also the Fo Ling potion!
Albert was also unsure whether a sip of the Felicis elixir could help him solve this big problem.
"well!"
With a deep sigh, Albert returned to the dormitory and found the letter from Dagworth in the letter box. After reading it, he took out a quill and began to write a reply.
After acquiring the skill of mastering potions, Albert was occasionally able to reveal surprising words in his correspondence with Hertog Dagworth, and the two had a good chat about improving potions.
At the end of the parchment, Albert wrote about the mandrake in the herbology class and asked if the other party could help him.
After writing the letter and stuffing the parchment into the envelope, Albert took a deep breath. He didn't actually expect Dagworth to be able to help.
"Albert." Fred suddenly looked up and said, "Have you finished writing the paper on Grindylow in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class?"
"Oh, let me see where I put it." Albert opened his schoolbag, picked up "Dark Power: A Guide to Self-Defense" and flipped through it, only to find that he could not find the paper about Grindylow.
"What's wrong?" Fred asked with a strange expression, "You haven't written it yet?"
"Probably... right!" Albert took out his notes and took a look. Sure enough, Grindylow's paper was not checked.
"You also forget to do your homework sometimes." Li Qiaodan couldn't help but tease, "How about I lend you my copy to copy?"
"Have you borrowed any books about Grindylow?" Albert asked with a frown. He was planning to finish the paper tonight, although this paper was...
"Hey, that's not right! Isn't this the homework assigned in today's Defense Against the Dark Arts class?" Albert suddenly came to his senses, turned his head and glared at Fred and the other two, knowing that he had just been fooled by these guys.
"Don't be angry, we saw you were thinking about something, and Fred said you might..." George tried hard not to laugh out loud.
"Nonsense, when did I say that?" Fred immediately shirked responsibility.
Albert couldn't help but roll his eyes at the three of them and ignored them. He glanced at his pocket watch, packed up his things and prepared to go back to the dormitory to rest.
"Don't be angry, it's just a joke." Li Qiaodan said quickly.
After returning to the dormitory, Albert checked the Marauder's Map to make sure that no one was eavesdropping nearby, then he sorted out the matters of Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black and James Potter. He completed the task of the "dead man" by himself, which was easier than drinking water.
1 skill point is gained.
Reveal the secret.
You have discovered Peter Pettigrew's crime and made it public so that everyone knows what kind of person he is.
Reward: 5000 experience.
"It seems that this is a continuous task." Albert muttered. He remembered that the reward for the last continuous task was very rich.
However, this should be completed in a few years. It is too early to do it now. If the follow-up tasks are lost, it would be a pity.
As for Blake’s injustice, it’s none of my business.
A large part of the blame for being imprisoned in Azkaban was Black's own fault.
At that time, Black did not deny the incident, which led to the Ministry of Magic convicting him without trial and throwing him into Azkaban. Who can he blame!
