The second class for Gryffindor freshmen is History of Magic, which is undoubtedly the most boring course in Hogwarts, bar none.
The History of Magic classroom is located on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle. Gryffindor freshmen will have twenty minutes of free time after the first class.
However, since Albert talked with Professor Flitwick for a long time, the four of them had no extra time to waste and had to quicken their pace to the History of Magic classroom.
By the time the four of them hurriedly arrived at the History of Magic classroom, the administrator Argus Filch had already come to open the door. After all, Professor Binns, who was a ghost, couldn't open the door for everyone.
Gryffindor's History of Magic class was taught together with Ravenclaw, and everyone sat in their seats and chatted before class.
Albert ignored the twin brothers playing around and took out the box of multi-flavor beans from his pocket. He picked up a blue bean and threw it into his mouth. After chewing it, he found that it had a blueberry flavor.
"Good luck." Albert muttered. He took out "A History of Magic" from his schoolbag and also took out "Selected Nineteenth Century Spells". Under the guise of reading a book, he flipped through his skill list.
After finishing the spells class, Albert found that he had acquired a new skill: spells theory.
In Albert's memory, this basic skill was very useful, so he immediately upgraded the spell theory to level 1. He carefully recalled the extra knowledge of spell theory in his head, and couldn't help but frowned. It seemed that upgrading only 1 level would not have much effect.
How to say it
His own spell theory has indeed improved, but Albert has a feeling that it is just so-so. Most of the knowledge is not difficult to understand once it is pointed out, so he has the illusion that it is nothing special.
While thinking about the knowledge of the Luminous Charm, Albert took the multi-flavored beans and threw them into his mouth, as if he were eating chocolate beans.
The next moment, he covered his mouth with his hand, and a spicy taste escaped from his mouth.
Damn, the bean he just ate was a chili-flavored bean. It was so spicy that Albert swore that he would never eat this thing when he was in a trance again.
"What's wrong with you?" Fred noticed Albert's change.
"Everything flavored beans, chili flavor." Albert pointed to the small box on the table. He hadn't finished the every flavored beans he bought on the train last time.
"Every bite is a great adventure." Fred laughed gleefully and even teased Albert by referring to the slogan of Every Flavour Beans.
Albert glared at the guy in front of him, took out a candy from his pocket and put it in his mouth to relieve the spicy taste, and handed the multi-flavored beans to Fred.
"Be careful when eating every-flavored beans." Fred pinched one and put it in his mouth and chewed it. "Spinach flavor."
"Mine is strawberry," George announced cheerfully.
"I like this very much..." Li Qiaodan also came over, picked one and put it in his mouth.
"Do you want some every-flavor beans?" Albert asked, shaking the box towards the others.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jordan's voice came from the side.
"It smells like rotten eggs, so disgusting." The black guy's cheeks were almost twisted together, and he spat the multi-flavored beans he was chewing in his mouth onto the ground.
A Ravenclaw girl nearby cast a disdainful look at Lee Jordan.
Noticing the other person's gaze, Li Qiaodan looked a little embarrassed and scratched his head sheepishly.
"Clean it all up." Albert raised his wand, pointed at Lee Jordan's vomit, and threw a piece of fruit candy to him.
"I'm never going to eat every-flavor beans again," Lee Jordan vowed.
"You've said that more than once." George teased. "He just ate another one, the marmalade flavor.
After the Lee Jordan incident, everyone stayed away from Albert's small box of every-flavor beans. They didn't want to eat anything weird.
"What kind of magic did you just use?" The Ravenclaw girl introduced herself: "My name is Katrina McDougal."
"Hello Katrina, I'm Albert Anderson." Albert stuffed another piece of chocolate into his mouth, and the burning taste in his mouth gradually subsided after chewing. "That was the Descaling Charm just now, a very practical magic."
"Most freshmen are not as good at magic as you, even if your family teaches them in advance. And..." Katrina glanced at the book "Selected Nineteenth Century Spells" that Albert was reading and said, "I dare say the Sorting Hat must have sorted you into the wrong house."
"There's nothing wrong with Gryffindor." Albert didn't pay attention to what the other person said: "Also... I come from a Muggle family."
"That's impossible. Only those who come from a wizard family would be taught magical knowledge in advance by their families." Katrina's face looked a little stunned.
"I heard... that to enter the Ravenclaw common room, you need to answer a question..." Albert changed the subject stiffly. He didn't want to argue about his bloodline.
"Yes, you need to answer the question of the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker before you are allowed to enter the Ravenclaw common room." Katrina looked at Albert with suspicion and asked, "But I'm curious, how do you know this? Many people don't know how to enter the common rooms of other colleges.
"I happened to hear a Ravencrest student complain about not being able to answer questions and being left outside the lounge." Albert made up a story.
"Oh!" Katrina still had some doubts about Albert. After all, the chance of encountering such a thing was slim.
"Do you feel that Albert can chat with anyone?" George, who was sitting next to him, muttered softly.
Fred nodded repeatedly, and Lee Jordan agreed. He reached into the box and took out a multi-flavor bean. This guy actually liked multi-flavor beans very much.
Albert glared at the three of them, coughed lightly and asked: "Tell me what interesting problems you have encountered?"
"Which came first, the Phoenix or the fire?" Katrina asked a question she knew the answer to.
"What do you think?" Albert turned his head and looked at the twin brothers.
"I think the phoenix came first?" said Fred.
"I think so too?" George agreed immediately.
"Why?" Li Qiaodan asked puzzledly.
"Of course I guessed it!" the twins said in unison, their matter-of-fact expressions amused everyone.
Albert couldn't help laughing too.
"What about you?" Katrina asked again.
"In the Muggle world, there is a similar question." Albert did not answer the other party directly, and continued: "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
"What's the answer?" Katrina asked curiously. She thought she had guessed the answer.
"The chicken came first," Albert replied, and the answer was indeed different from what Katrina expected.
"Why?"
Albert explained: "How could an egg appear out of nowhere?"
Katrina shook her head and said, "That's not enough reason."
