"What does Ms. Grey want from you?"
Isobel and Albert walked side by side through the castle courtyard, chatting casually about what had just happened.
"I helped the lady a little." Albert said vaguely. Now he didn't plan to tell others about the crown. Not long ago, he promised Dumbledore to keep this secret.
Dumbledore gave Albert another 50 points, plus a special contribution award.
Albert was quite satisfied with this. He didn't really care about the score. Giving the crown to Dumbledore was more for the special contribution award.
He really wanted the mission reward, but it was not easy to get three special contribution awards while in school.
Of course, Albert didn't want other people to know about the Ravenclaw diadem, otherwise when Voldemort came to Hogwarts next semester and knew about it, he would probably cause trouble for him.
Albert did not want to confront Voldemort directly. After all, destroying Voldemort was Harry Potter's mission, not his.
"A little favor?" Isobel looked at Albert suspiciously, raised her eyebrows slightly, and didn't ask any more questions. She was not a very curious person, and she also knew that it would be difficult to get an answer if Albert didn't want to say it, and she couldn't see through his true thoughts through telepathy. Even if she could do that, Isobel wouldn't do it, otherwise the relationship between the two would probably be over.
No one wants to be seen through by others.
As a smart person, Isobel knew how to maintain their relationship, and she also knew that Albert knew how to do it.
"It's not the right time yet. I'll tell you when the time comes." Albert said mysteriously.
"Well, I'll wait." Isobel lowered her eyes and casually changed the subject, "By the way, is there any news about Professor Smith?"
"Unfortunately, no. I've asked many people, but there's no news about Professor Smith. He seems to have... disappeared completely." Albert's tone was inexplicably reassuring. It had to be said that the matter was handled neatly, without leaving any clues.
"Oh, what a pity." Isobel couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this.
The best way to deal with it is to be missing and not be found.
The two chatted for a while and talked about the Wildsmith family. They used that family to refer to the family. After exchanging information, both sides found that what they knew was very limited.
The two of them came to the conclusion at the same time: Professor Broad also did not tell them other details, and they both received Professor Broad's summer invitation.
"If he wants to tell us, he will definitely tell us. If he doesn't want to, it's probably useless to ask no matter how much." Isobel's tone was very calm. She didn't take the matter to heart at all. As a genius, she was also very confident.
Albert didn't intend to delve into the matter, and he didn't particularly care about these things.
After all, he is a man with cheats.
"Oh, by the way, do you still remember the Runestone divination?" Albert suddenly said, "That thing is quite accurate. I also used it to divine for myself at that time, and the result was the same as yours, and it really came true in the end."
"Maybe, it's just a coincidence!" Isobel didn't really believe in divination.
"No, it's not a coincidence. Some people can indeed predict some omens through runestones." Albert lowered his voice and said, "There is a part in the bronze book that talks about runestone divination. Although it can't see the future directly like a crystal ball, it can predict some things."
"It seems that you have learned a lot from that book." There was a hint of envy in Isobel's tone. She had also read that book and could understand part of it, but she could not understand the deeper things in it like Albert did. In his words, her ancient magic runes had not reached that level and she could only see superficial things.
"I did learn something. Unfortunately, there is still a part that I don't understand very well." Albert took off an amulet from his body and handed it to Isobel.
"A gift for me?" Isobel looked at the gadget in her hand. It was a very small thing, a griffon lying down to rest.
“It looks good.”
"This is the latest research result." Albert said, "Unfortunately, it has reached a bottleneck. Help me find a breakthrough."
"I will." Isobel reminded with a smile. "Someone is calling you."
"I know." Albert saw the twins waving at him. "I'm leaving first! They always think we're dating."
"Oh!" Isobel replied, and then asked, "How do you answer?"
"How do you want me to answer?" Albert walked towards his roommates without waiting for Isobel to speak.
"Amulet?" Isobel put it away and turned away.
…
"What did you do?"
As soon as Albert walked over, he heard George's question.
"Did what? What do you mean?" Albert raised his eyebrows.
"When the unlucky Kenneth Toler was wiping the trophies in the trophy display room, he discovered that you actually had two special contribution awards." Lee Jordan's tone was very excited, and everyone around him cast their eyes over to him.
"How could I not know?" Albert rolled his eyes at Lee Jordan and said unhappily, "Maybe he saw it wrong!"
The three seemed to be about to say something when they were interrupted by Albert.
He tilted his head in the direction where Isobel left and said, "Please, didn't you see..."
"I remember she was in the fourth grade!"
"Oh, I didn't expect you to..."
"We were just discussing Runestone divination. Last time, the Runestone divination that Professor Sybill Trelawney performed on us came true!" Albert said indifferently, "Also, she is only one year older than me."
The four of them looked at each other, not understanding what Albert meant for a moment.
"I'm one year older than you." Albert said unhappily.
"And then?" Fred asked in confusion.
"If I was born before September and she was born at the end of September, we would be in the same class."
At this moment, all three of them were stunned, and their brains were unable to understand for a moment. Later, they thought about it carefully and realized that this was the reason.
"Because you're talking to me like this, I almost forgot what I wanted to say."
What's up
"We are currently leading by a slight margin. What on earth did you do to suddenly gain a hundred points?" Fred lowered his voice and said, "Now, everyone is talking about this."
"The Slytherins were pretty mad," George said cheerfully. "I heard they went to Snape to protest."
"They think there's something fishy going on," Lee Jordan echoed.
"A conspiracy?" Albert said unhappily, "How could I not know there was a conspiracy? Also, don't put the blame on me for no reason. I'm not a professional scapegoat."
