Professor Smith might be planning something!
However, Albert couldn't guess, but he felt that this matter had something to do with him.
It's not that he has a serious paranoia, but the runestone divination has not come true yet. Although he is reluctant to admit it, Albert feels that his runestone divination may be correct. After all, there is the blessing on the skill panel.
If Albert didn't have a skill panel, he would definitely not believe in the divination. At least, he wouldn't believe his own divination results, but now he has a skill panel, so whether the divination is accurate is debatable.
By the way, it seems that Isobel also had a similar divination result, I wonder if it came true
Albert didn't ask, thinking that even if he did, the other party would probably just look at him strangely. Isobel didn't believe in Sybill Trelawney's divination. After all, the professor of divination at Hogwarts didn't seem very reliable.
Moreover, the more talented a person is, the more he trusts his own judgment.
"What are you doing?"
"Divination!" Albert flipped through the Runestone divination book in his hand and compared his divination results with the contents of the book.
"Is this thing accurate?" Lee Jordan obviously didn't believe in divination. "I heard that the professor of divination at Hogwarts is a big liar."
"I've heard similar rumors." Albert closed the book and sighed softly. The divination result was not quite the same as what he had guessed.
It's very vague, just vaguely foreshadowing something.
Sure enough, it is more reliable to use a crystal ball to make predictions.
"Next year, we plan to take Divination. I heard that this course is relatively easy. Even if we fail the exam, it doesn't matter." Fred suddenly interrupted, "Then, there is Care of Magical Creatures. Charlie said this course is very interesting."
"Divination requires talent!" Albert shook his head and said, "Without talent, no matter how hard you work, it's useless. As for the Care of Magical Creatures class, Professor Kettlebur is very old and will probably retire in a few years. I hope he can stick with us until we finish learning Care of Magical Creatures."
"I feel that even if Professor Kettleber doesn't want to retire, he will be forced to retire because of what you just said." George couldn't help but complain.
Albert rolled his eyes, put away the runestone divination tool, and began to focus on his homework.
Professor Smith's matter did make Albert a little irritated. He felt that he'd better do something before the other party left Hogwarts.
It is definitely not Albert's character to face what might happen without any preparation. If he is prepared, he will not panic even if the situation is not useful.
"I'm going to practice my defense against the dark arts." Albert said in a low voice that only the people around him could hear. "I'm going to practice in that room. Do you want to join us?"
The three of them looked at each other, not understanding why Albert suddenly asked them to practice magic together.
"I'm going to enter the Forbidden Forest to look for Gryffindor's treasure. Before that, I need to make all the necessary preparations." Albert explained to the three after entering the Room of Requirement.
Of course, this was just an excuse Albert made up.
His defense against the dark arts was actually very average, and he had little experience in using spells to fight, so he planned to ask three of his roommates to serve as sparring partners.
"I thought you..."
"The Forbidden Forest is very dangerous. I am against going there to die." Albert curled his lips and said, "If we want to go in, we must be fully prepared. Even if our so-called preparations are useless, we still have to do it. If we rush in without a lucky aura, we will definitely die."
Albert felt that he did not have Potter's aura of a lucky protagonist, so he decided to make more preparations. It didn't matter even if they were of no use. It would always do good to improve his combat effectiveness.
"When does it start?" Fred and George both looked eager to try. Lee Jordan also looked excited. The most interesting thing about Defense Against the Dark Arts was practice. However, what they learned in class might not be as much as what they learned from Albert. The three of them knew that Albert was very powerful and were ready to learn some useful spell-casting techniques from him.
"Don't worry, you need to start practicing from the most basic spells." Albert said softly, "Also, you must learn the Spider Repel Spell."
Using practice to enhance his combat experience is the most reliable solution Albert can think of at the moment, and it can also make up for his lack of experience in this area.
"But we already know the spell," Fred and George said in unison.
"Mastering doesn't mean you can use them. The battle between wizards is not as simple as throwing magic at each other." Albert shook his head and said, "In the Forbidden Forest, it's not scary to encounter acromantula head-on. What's scary is that you are attacked by them by surprise."
"Begin, take turns using the barrier spell on me."
"To you?"
"I will try to block it with the Armor Charm. Okay, let's start now." Albert called on them, "George, you go first, Fred is second, and Lee Jordan is third."
"Okay, here we go," George grinned. They had already mastered the barrier spell last year.
“There are so many obstacles.”
Looking at the curse flying towards him, Albert's heart skipped a beat. This feeling was not good, just like someone shooting at you with a gun.
"Armor protection."
Albert murmured a spell and waved his wand, trying to deflect the spell. The oncoming barrier spell hit the armor spell, spread around and disappeared.
"The power of the spell is too weak. Also, be quiet when casting the spell. Don't tell others what spell you are using." Albert said casually, "Fred..."
Albert asked the three of them to take turns casting spells for him, practicing using the Armor Spell to deal with spells, while what Fred, George, and Lee Jordan had to do was to make sure their barrier spells hit Albert as much as possible.
Of course, it was impossible for Albert to defend against all of them. After being attacked continuously by three people, he couldn't avoid being distracted and hit by the spell several times.
However, the magical powers of these three people were not very strong, and the effect of the barrier spell was limited, at most it could make him fall to the ground.
"Now, how do you feel?" Albert asked breathlessly.
"The barrier spell is too common," Fred said first. "We want to learn more powerful spells."
"It's because you don't know how to use it. Moreover, the barrier spell you used is not powerful enough to effectively intercept the opponent. At the very least, it should be powerful enough to knock the person away." Albert raised his wand and swung it casually. Lee Jordan was knocked away by a huge force and fell a long way into a pile of cushions.
"Wow!"
Fred and George both opened their mouths wide and looked at Lee Jordan who was flying away.
"Are you okay?" Albert reached out to Lee Jordan and pulled him up.
"Oh no, are we really using the same spell?" Lee Jordan was a little depressed. No wonder Albert asked them to practice the barrier spell. That's where the emotional gap lies!
"Take a break first. In the next period of time, you will continue to take turns using barrier spells on me." Albert sat on the mat, ate a hard candy, and passed it to his roommate next to him, and continued.
"Most wizards are physically weak, so we don't need to practice stronger spells, faster, more rapid, and continuous attacks. We just need to focus the spell on the enemy and make it difficult for them to breathe. Even a levitation spell can produce unimaginable effects."
"What you said seems to make sense." Fred muttered, "But what if the other party uses a very strong protective magic to protect himself? I remember that you seem to be able to cast that kind of powerful protective spell."
He really wanted to learn that.
"Don't be silly. If you do that when fighting a wizard, you will only make yourself a target. If you fight against a stronger dark wizard, you will definitely be in big trouble."
"We want to learn more powerful magic," Lee Jordan muttered.
"You can't learn it yet." Albert dealt them a fatal blow without any hesitation. "It's best to take it step by step. First, master the more practical spells such as the Obstruction Spell, the Disarming Spell, the Stunning Spell, the Full Body Binding Spell, the Armor Spell and the Crushing Spell, and then learn the Spider Repelling Spell. If you can master these spells quickly, I can teach you other magic. There are many spells in the "Practical Defensive Magic and Its Restraint on Dark Magic" I bought last time. We can study it together then."
"That's great." George's eyes lit up. They had all read "Practical Defensive Magic and Its Control over the Dark Magic" and tried some of the spells in it, but it was sometimes difficult to practice alone without someone to teach them. What's more, Albert later hid the book, so they never had the chance to read it again.
