Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 654: Magpie and gorilla

Views:

In May, it is time for Quidditch matches again.

The first weekend, Slytherin vs. Hufflepuff.

The result is not difficult to guess.

Relying on the advantage of Nimbus 2001, the Slytherin team defeated the Hufflepuff team with an overwhelming score and went all the way to the championship of the Quidditch tournament.

If Gryffindor loses to Ravenclaw in the next game, the Quidditch championship trophy may change hands directly.

However, all this was wishful thinking on the part of the Slytherin team. They had no idea that Ravenclaw's Seeker, Qiu Zhang, had been injured in training not long ago and could not play in the game at all, so the Ravenclaw team could only find a temporary substitute.

It is not difficult to see how bad the temporary substitutes who have not received rigorous training are from the score of the game between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor.

Completely defeated by Gryffindor.

Gryffindor's winning of the Quidditch trophy again did not divert Albert's attention, and he was still struggling with his divination.

Sure enough, sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.

Albert thought about it carefully for a long time and finally came up with an answer.

A wizard who is well prepared has nothing to fear and will never lose to anyone!

In order to stop himself from thinking about it, Albert started to practice magic with Fred, George and Lee Jordan in the Room of Requirement, using a fulfilling and busy life to divert his attention.

It turns out that the effect is very good.

With sufficient combat experience, Albert is becoming stronger at an alarming rate.

He has recently been practicing how to use silent spells in combat. Being able to use silent spells doesn't mean he can use them well in a fight against wizards.

These are two completely different concepts.

That period was the happiest time for Fred, George and Lee Jordan. In previous sparring sessions, the three of them were mostly the ones being beaten.

Now, their curses finally have a chance to "fight back", and they can also take the opportunity to vent their depressed emotions. Such an opportunity is really rare.

Unfortunately, the three of them couldn't be happy for long.

It only took Albert a few days to master the use of the Silent Armor Spell in magical confrontations.

However, what made the three of them most depressed was the means of countering the spell that Albert was currently training.

After he mastered the counter-spell from Professor Flitwick, they finally realized the frustration of being interrupted before they could even cast a spell.

So the three of them went on strike.

No one wants to be humiliated.

"We need to practice the Patronus Charm."

This was the excuse the three of them made for themselves.

Unfortunately, their patron saint is still just a mist.

If he couldn't summon a corporeal Patronus in a brightly lit classroom, there was no chance he would be able to do so when facing a Dementor.

"This spell is too difficult."

Lee Jordan frowned in concentration, but only a few wisps of silvery smoke came out from the tip of his wand.

"You have to think about happy things," Albert reminded.

"I feel like we've never lacked for happy memories." The tip of Fred's wand was emitting streams of silver gas. "Still no!"

"Is there any trick?" George asked.

"The Patronus Charm requires a very strong magical power as a foundation. It may be because your magical power is not strong enough."

"What should we do then?"

"Keep practicing and tap your potential." Albert said without hesitation, "You all come from pure-blood wizard families, and you have more magical power than Muggle wizards."

“What the hell did I hear?” Fred muttered. “Next time you say something like that, think about your own situation first.”

"I'm different from you," Albert explained calmly.

"What's different?"

"A wizard's magical power needs to be developed by himself." Albert explained, "Now I am almost reaching my limit, while you have not developed or tapped your potential at all. Naturally, there is a big gap between us."

"Can we become as strong as you?" Lee Jordan asked expectantly.

"You dare to believe what he says?" Fred couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Don't complain." Albert said, "If you had persisted in practicing the Patronus Charm when I was practicing it, you would have mastered it by now. But I have never slacked off, and I have even mastered the advanced application of the Patronus Charm."

After saying that, Albert waved his wand and summoned his patronus.

After the Griffin circled over everyone's heads, it spoke in Albert's voice: "Three idiots, hurry up and continue practicing."

"Wow!"

"The patron saint really spoke."

"You actually practiced secretly."

"I have been training all the time, and the reason you can't summon your guardian angel is simply because you haven't trained hard enough." Albert clearly pointed out the reason why the three were making slow progress.

"What do you think our patron saint will be?" George changed the subject.

"It must be some kind of happy and lively animal." Albert said without hesitation: "For example..."

"Monkey!" Lee Jordan said first.

"We think your patronus will be a chimpanzee!" Fred and George looked at each other and said in unison, "Albert, what do you think?"

"If it's you, it would probably be... a magpie!" Albert said uncertainly, "A bird that brings joy and happiness to people."

"What about Lee Jordan?" Fred asked.

"Well, I think it's probably... chimpanzees." Albert said uncertainly, "It is said that chimpanzees are animals with a relatively good sense of humor."

Fred and George both gave Lee Jordan a look of "you see".

"What do chimpanzees have to do with sense of humor?" Lee Jordan asked angrily. Chimpanzees obviously did not conform to his aesthetic taste. He preferred a lion.

"I think many chimpanzees are quite humorous." Albert nodded, recalling the pictures he saw in his previous life.

"Then why is yours a griffin?"

"Of course he has a smart brain and a brave heart." George said as a matter of course. He felt that the Griffin was very suitable for Albert's image.

The king of beasts and birds.

To some extent, that's what Albert is like.

"Don't be so quick to refute." Fred said with a smile, "Once you successfully summon a physical Patronus, we will know whether it is a chimpanzee or not."

"Damn it, I'd rather practice magic with Albert than practice the Patronus Charm." Lee Jordan looked as if he was going to hurt each other.

"Ahem, I think we should try to master the magic on the bookshelf." Fred cleared his throat and said.

"It never hurts to learn more magic. Maybe we can take this opportunity to tap into our own potential." George immediately agreed.

Soon, they regretted it.

Albert basically mastered two to three spells a day, which almost shocked them!

The so-called genius is so terrifying.

Those talented and hardworking guys really don't leave any room for others to survive.
