"The next Quidditch match should be in the next two weeks." Albert turned his head to look out the window, and it started raining again!
He knew exactly what Quidditch meant
The second attack was also the best opportunity to take action, and he needed to buy himself enough time.
Unfortunately, Albert has not yet figured out how to deal with the follow-up issues of Tom Riddle's diary.
To intervene in this matter would mean to risk being exposed.
Finally, he needs to find a suitable person to shift the blame to, and he needs to deceive Voldemort and remove himself from this matter.
Who is more suitable
Professor Lockhart, a Slytherin student, or Harry Potter
Moreover, he also needs a compound potion.
There was no such thing in the potion inventory. The raw materials of the African boomslang snake skin fragments and the bicorn horn that I got from Snape last time were still there, but the preparation of the compound potion took too long.
I don’t know if Hetok has stored the compound potion. Can I find a way to get some from him, or ask Bud for help. With the strength of the Wildsmith family, it won’t be difficult to help him get the compound potion.
"If I have time some other day, I'll just make a batch myself."
Are you free some other day
Albert suddenly found the idea a little funny.
By the way, Nicholas had already prepared the materials for the Bafe brain stimulant for him and asked him to find a way to receive this batch of raw materials. Albert already had enough things to do!
Even if we do it another day, I still won’t have time!
Not only was the basilisk in the secret room a headache for him, but there were also a host of other problems that he couldn't handle even with the help of the time converter. If he hadn't had the help of the skill panel, he would have probably collapsed from exhaustion.
There is no time to enjoy a moment of peace here.
Albert leaned lazily in a wooden rocking chair, watching the rain splash on the glass windows. The cold air outside seeped in through the glass, but he was sitting by the campfire, and the flames were burning.
A cup of steaming milk tea was placed in front of him. Isobel smiled and joked: "What are you thinking about?"
"I wonder when we can live the leisurely life that countless people dream of." Albert reached out to take the milk tea, feeling the warmth from the teacup, took a sip comfortably, and sighed softly.
"If you sigh all the time, it will make you depressed!" Isobel said softly, "Try harder! Bad things will eventually pass."
If there were no basilisk problem, I would probably have had a comfortable semester!
As expected, Voldemort’s diary should go to hell!
When the time comes, find someone to take the blame. Contact Bud first to see if you can get the compound potion from him.
It's not a good idea to ask Hetok for help all the time. It's better to use favors less.
As for Bud, he is the elder.
"Is this a gift for Nia?" Isobel looked at the unfinished jewelry on the table.
"No." Albert took a sip, put down his teacup and said, "This is what Kenneth Toller wanted."
"Kenneth Toller?" Isobel raised her eyebrows.
"He plans to make money from this thing after the second attack," Albert explained.
"Is this thing really useful against the monster in the secret room?" Isobel raised her eyebrows slightly. Although she knew that Albert had good attainments in alchemy, the target was the basilisk in the secret room, which was a dangerous creature that could stare people or animals to death with its eyes.
"It should have some effect on repelling ordinary dark creatures. However, it probably won't work on the thing in the secret room." Albert complained, "As Kenneth said, it's just for peace of mind."
"That liar."
"I also told him... Well, he has the potential to be a profiteer." Albert finished his milk tea with a smile, and then began to assemble the things on the table. The bracelet was made of obsidian and amethyst beads, which was a bit like the cheap stuff bought at street stalls in the previous life. In order to make this bracelet work better, Albert was very careful when making it, and he also engraved ancient magic runes on each bead, so that it could better form a defense system.
Finally, an expulsion spell was cast on it.
By the way, the Exorcism Spell is something we learn in the fourth grade. It can expel Muggles, objects? Exorcise owls? Naturally, it can also expel dark creatures.
"Do you think I should give Nia a gift?"
"Forget it. You can go with me to pick out Christmas presents later." Albert grabbed Isobel's hand, knowing what she was thinking. He comforted her, "In two years, I will send them away from Britain for asylum. When things here are over, she will have grown up."
"Ahem, do you already know what the monster in the secret room is?" Suddenly, a voice sounded in the Room of Requirement.
"Oh, probably some kind of dark creature." Albert couldn't help but sigh after seeing Katrina. He almost forgot that this guy was still here.
Ever since Isobel erased part of Katrina's memory, she has often come to the Room of Requirement to act as a third wheel for the two of them.
Katrina looked at the two intimate people and couldn't help but curl her lips. She knew that it was not good to disturb Isobel here, but she didn't know why she came here anyway.
As for the glasses, Katrina returned them to Isobel after noticing that Albert was wearing the same pair.
She is not stupid, so she can naturally see some things.
It has to be said that Katrina, who had regained her normal sanity, still made Albert feel very comfortable. The two returned to being friends as before, and there was no longer any previous awkwardness.
"I'm still researching a truly effective item called a detection ball." Albert handed a crystal ball to Isobel. "This is inspired by the looking glass. As long as there are dark creatures nearby, the detection ball will sound an alarm immediately."
Even though he already had a looking glass to refer to, Albert still couldn't create a detection ball in a short period of time, and it would not be considered a success until the detection ball appeared on the skill panel.
He is considering whether to find someone to help with the research.
“Is it effective?”
"In a place like the Forbidden Forest, the detection ball is useless, but in a place like the school where there are basically no dark creatures, it is very effective." Albert added, "The one in your hand is a semi-finished product. We need to find someone to test it in the Forbidden Forest."
Albert put the detection ball back into his pocket, planning to ask Hagrid for help testing it after it was completed.
Isobel took out her pocket watch and checked the time, then said to Albert, "It's almost time, I'll leave now."
"Let's go together!"
Albert stood up and stretched. When he was leaving the Room of Requirement, he suddenly felt the detection ball in his pocket emitting an astonishing amount of heat, which scared Albert.
Because the Howling Curse was too noisy, he used the Fire Curse on the detection ball.
"What's wrong?" Isobel looked at Albert in confusion as he reached out to grab her.
"Something seems to be wrong."
"You mean the basilisk."
"have no idea."
After noticing the warning from the detection ball, Albert immediately pulled Isobel back to the Room of Requirement. It must be safe there. Even if Voldemort knew its location, he couldn't break in when there was someone inside.
Although he didn't think the basilisk would appear on the eighth floor, Albert felt that he should still be cautious and find out what was going on first.
