Albert really didn't expect that Hermione would come directly to ask him about the doppelganger. When did their relationship become so good? Even Albert himself was surprised.
Facing Miss Granger who was staring at him with wide eyes, Albert showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, raised a finger to his lips, and said in a mysterious tone: "Just think of it as an Incarnation Charm. This is actually a secret, and I can't tell you how I do it for the time being. If you really want to know, when you are in the third year and have chosen all the courses, you will be qualified to know how I manage to appear in two places at the same time, and then you will be able to do it too."
In fact, when Hermione asked Albert directly, she never thought that he would tell her the answer. She just wanted to see how Albert would react when he knew that he had discovered his little secret. As a result, Albert's reaction was calmer than she thought, and he even revealed to her that the "doppelganger" was related to the choice of all courses in the third grade
"Courses?" Hermione couldn't help asking, "How many courses do you need to take?"
"Twelve courses." Albert did not hide the fact. "If you want to choose all courses, you need to be prepared to bear the academic pressure."
"That's five more courses than we have now. I see." Hermione thought of Albert's emphasis on choosing all courses and guessed what was going on. Apparently, the ability to make people appear in two different places is to allow students who have chosen all courses to attend other courses at the same time.
"Just guess it yourself!" Albert whispered, "Don't spread it around, otherwise Professor McGonagall will be unhappy."
"I'll keep it a secret." Hermione nodded seriously. From Albert's words, she knew that Professor McGonagall also knew about this, and it might even be Professor McGonagall who taught him how to be in two places at the same time.
"I have another question."
"Ask."
"The thing in the restricted corridor on the fourth floor is the Philosopher's Stone, right?"
"Didn't you guess it?" Albert neither admitted nor denied it.
"Harry said that Snape wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone that Dumbledore placed in the school." Seeing that Albert did not answer, she continued to talk about the last game with the Slytherin team, when Snape cast an evil curse on Harry's broom, trying to kill Harry.
"Well, Snape, he is indeed not a good person."
Albert noticed that Hermione had been staring at him. After thinking for a while, he said, "However, I think that even if Potter really fell off his broom, he would not necessarily die immediately. It should be said that as long as wizards learn the shock-absorbing spell, they will basically not be killed by falling. The professors must know this spell, so the possibility of Potter falling to death is almost zero."
Hermione was stunned. She found that her idea was easily overturned. What Albert said was too reasonable. Although she had never understood the shock-absorbing spell, it was not difficult to guess the effect of the shock-absorbing spell from Albert's words.
At that time, most of the professors of Hogwarts were in the audience. Would Harry really be killed by the fall
If he really died from the fall, we can only blame the professors for being incompetent.
"But why would Snape do that?" Hermione was even more confused.
"You need to think about why yourself." Albert guided: "Think about it from all aspects. The truth may be completely different from what you think."
"Why didn't you just tell me?"
"The so-called truth I tell you may not necessarily be the truth. If you think about it more, maybe you will be able to get the truth," Albert explained.
Hermione froze for a moment, frowning as she considered the possibilities.
"If I were you, I wouldn't believe Albert's words so easily. He is very good at using sweet words to deceive girls." Isobel smiled and winked at Hermione.
"I'm leaving first."
"See you later," Albert said.
"But why would Snape want to steal the Philosopher's Stone?"
Hermione put this in mind first, then looked at Albert again and asked, "Does he want gold and immortality?"
"The elixir of life is indeed an irresistible temptation for many people." Albert nodded and said, "If Potter is really worried about the Philosopher's Stone, I suggest he talk to Headmaster Dumbledore about it. He is the savior. I think even if he can't convince Headmaster Dumbledore, he should be able to make the headmaster more vigilant and guard against someone who wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone."
"The professors won't believe it..."
"I know the professors won't easily believe Potter's words, but the headmaster may not. He is a very magical person." Albert said, "As the most powerful wizard in history, Headmaster Dumbledore can judge whether a person is lying to him. I don't think anyone can hide it from him and secretly steal the Philosopher's Stone from the school."
Hermione opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.
"Why can't others think of what you can think of?" Albert looked into Hermione's eyes and said, "I'm right, but it's definitely right to use your brain more, although this is inconsistent with the character of most Gryffindor students."
…
"You mean to say that Albert thinks Snape couldn't steal the Philosopher's Stone from under Dumbledore's nose?"
After listening to Hermione's story, Harry and Ron were quite surprised. Albert almost overturned most of their guesses.
However, Harry had to admit that some of Albert's views did make sense. Did Snape really want to kill himself by casting a spell on his Nimbus 2000
According to Albert, even if he fell off his broom, the professors in the audience would definitely not let him die.
Didn't Snape know this
He must know, unless he is a fool.
Snape was obviously no fool, so why would he do such a thing
"He wants the Slytherin team to win the game. Don't forget, those guys in Slytherin College will do anything to win." Harry told Hermione and Ron his guess. "Besides, Snape is their headmaster. I don't find it strange that he would do such a thing."
At this point, Harry's face became even gloomier. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. "Don't forget, Snape is going to personally referee the Quidditch match."
Even Hermione had to admit that what Harry said made sense!
"Harry, are you going to tell Headmaster Dumbledore about this?" Hermione asked in a low voice.
"I don't think I can convince the principal."
Harry shook his head. He still had some self-awareness and didn't think he could convince Headmaster Dumbledore to suspect the professors in the school without any clues.
