Ever since Professor Smith told Albert about Ravenclaw's treasure trove of knowledge, he has been having a strange feeling.
This thing was supposed to be a secret guess right!
But Professor Smith actually told me directly
Did he consider Albert as his own? Did he want to use him to crack the secret? Or...
Questions one after another emerged in Albert's mind. The main reason was that the "other purpose" related to Professor Smith in the task panel had never been completed.
If Professor Smith came to Hogwarts just for the knowledge treasure of Ravenclaw, then the mission should have been accomplished when he stated his purpose for coming here.
But... the task was still not completed, which made Albert suspicious. The actual situation was obviously different from what he saw on the surface.
Albert subconsciously remained wary of Professor Smith.
After all, in the Harry Potter novels, half of the guys who cause trouble at Hogwarts are related to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
The name of the mission "Another Purpose" is also very meaningful.
If Professor Smith didn't come for Ravenclaw's treasure trove of knowledge, then what was his other purpose
Albert wasn't quite sure for the time being, but he felt that Isobel might know something, but she had never mentioned it, and he had no good solution.
Speaking of Isobel, he suddenly remembered the Runestone divination. The result was that he would encounter danger and it would be difficult to avoid it. His result was similar to Isobel's, but that result has not come true yet. Is there any connection between the two
"If anyone else plans to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas, remember to register with me." Professor McGonagall's voice interrupted Albert's thoughts.
In early December, Professor McGonagall told everyone that students who wanted to stay at school for Christmas needed to register. In fact, few people were willing to stay at Hogwarts for the holidays. Today, Professor McGonagall mentioned this matter again before the end of the Transfiguration class, just to prevent anyone from missing it.
"I think it would be nice to stay in Hogwarts for Christmas so I can explore the castle when no one is around." George muttered while eating lunch.
"Then why do you want to go home for the holidays?" Lee Jordan couldn't bear to watch and couldn't help but say, "You can apply to stay at school for Christmas after you finish your study."
"No, no, I think it's better for me to go home for Christmas." George winked at Lee Jordan and said, "Besides, Ron will come to Hogwarts to study next year. As his older brothers, we need to tell him some things about the school in advance."
"Tell him how to sort the houses?" Lee Jordan thought of what happened during the sorting.
"That's a good idea. I decided to tell Ron that Hogwarts will sort houses through tests." George suddenly said.
"We should tell him that this kind of test is very harmful to students," Fred added.
"Ron, is he the one who ate the sour lollipop you gave him and ended up having his tongue burned?" Albert couldn't help laughing. "Is there any brother who would betray his younger brother like you?"
"Wow, you actually still remember this!" The twins looked incredulous.
"My memory has always been good." Albert shook his head. "Next year, a big figure may appear in Hogwarts School."
"What big shot?" the three asked in unison.
"Potter!" Albert raised his hand and knocked on the books on the table, reminding: "Don't tell me you don't know the famous Harry Potter. I have seen his name in several books. People in the magic world call him the savior."
"Potter defeated You-Know-Who," Fred said with a large gesture, "He was just a baby at the time."
"Everyone is curious about how he did it." George continued, "The You-Know-Who killed many people, but failed to kill Potter. Instead, he was defeated by a baby."
"Is the mysterious man dead?" Albert asked with pretended curiosity.
"Dead. Many people say he's dead, but Dad said Dumbledore thinks the You-Know-Who might not be dead." Fred lowered his voice and said, "Those dark wizards have a lot of strange magic."
"I'm more curious about why You-Know-Who failed." George muttered, "Potter is the only one who escaped the Killing Curse."
"Which house do you think Potter will be assigned to?" Lee Jordan changed the subject.
"I hope he comes to Gryffindor," George said without hesitation.
"I hope he's in our college, too," Fred agreed immediately.
"It's very likely." Albert nodded.
"Wow!" Fred screamed in exaggeration, "Now I'm more confident that Potter will be sorted into Gryffindor."
"I have the same feeling," Lee Jordan said seriously. "After all, Albert always says things accurately, whether they are good or bad."
"Stop joking." Albert rolled his eyes at the three of them and explained casually, "In the school's trophy display room, there is James Potter's Quidditch trophy. I think he should be the relative of the savior. In the wizarding world, many wizards are in the same college as their families. Of course, there are a few exceptions."
This was the reason used to fool Fred and the others. Albert naturally knew that Potter would be sorted into Gryffindor.
"I heard that Harry Potter lives with his Muggle relatives." Lee Jordan suddenly said, "He must not be living well."
"You'll know next year. If Potter is very thin, it means he is not living well. If he is very fat, it means he is living well." Albert thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "By the way, didn't any of you sneak out to visit Harry Potter?"
"No, it was probably because they considered that those dark wizards might hurt him, so Potter has been protected since he was a child. Everyone only knows that he was given to be raised by Muggle relatives, and few people know where he actually lives." Fred shook his head.
"By the way, are you planning to make a savior card? I'm really looking forward to it." Lee Jordan's tone was very excited. The influence of wizard cards in Hogwarts was growing.
Now, they often see students playing cards in the cafeteria, common room, and on the lawn, and discussing how to better assemble cards.
Today's wizard cards have completely surpassed wizard chess and Goblin stones, but students are eager for more sophisticated wizard cards.
Unfortunately, the current wizard cards are still just a prototype and still require patience and care.
Somehow the topic of the four people went off topic and started talking about registering for the competition. Lee Jordan thought that the number of registrants should be increased so that the registration fees could be used to reduce Albert's spending on prize money.
"If we do this, our workload will become increasingly heavy," Albert warned.
"We can change the rules, as long as they are relatively fair," Fred suggested. "After all, only a small number of people know how to play, and most people just join in the fun."
Albert opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Fair and just
What is that
Just think about the Triwizard Tournament and you will know that there is no such thing as fairness and justice. Those are all bullshit. They are just casual talk and no one really takes them seriously. Victory is everything.
