"I think you guys have been a bit mysterious lately."
As soon as Albert entered the dormitory, he noticed that Fred and the three people who were still talking quietly stopped talking. Apparently there was something they didn't want him to know.
"You guys have the nerve to say that we are mysterious?" George resisted the desire to complain and rolled his eyes at Albert.
"Yes, that's right!" Fred nodded in agreement.
"What are you doing at Professor Broad's place?" Lee Jordan asked, obviously trying to change the subject!
"Help Professor Brod sort out some documents. As you all know, my ancient magic texts are pretty good." Albert didn't lie, he just made his words vague.
"Is it weird to believe you?" Fred curled his lips.
"What were you talking about just now?" Albert asked.
"you guess?"
"Are you going to look for Gryffindor's secret treasure?" Albert looked at a few people suspiciously, but he had not forgotten the Gryffindor treasure map.
"Well, do you want to come together?" Lee Jordan asked.
"You traitor." Fred waved his little fist at Lee Jordan dissatisfied.
"With Albert's help, our chances of success will be greater. It's not very safe in the Forbidden Forest." Lee Jordan disagreed with the two people's views. In his opinion, Albert was more reliable than the twins.
"Forget it!" Albert shook his head and refused, "I think you should go less into the forest. Hagrid looks very angry, so be careful of being imprisoned."
"I'd say he's definitely not interested," George muttered. "As long as we don't get spotted by Hagrid when we go into the woods."
"I knew you would say this, but don't go too deep. It is said that there is an Acromantula breeding farm in the Forbidden Forest, and the Acromantulas are carefully fed." Albert was not surprised at all and reminded him casually.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute." Fred complained dissatisfiedly. This guy was always accurate when it came to bad things.
"Okay." Albert took out McDougal's notes from his pocket and began to read them.
"What is this?" George came over and asked.
"Professor Brod's friend borrowed my notes, which are about ancient magic texts." Albert flipped through a few pages and found that there was a letter written by Professor Brod to McDoug. McDoug had written it very early.
Have you known Professor Broad before?
"I feel like that Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is very kind to you." Lee Jordan was a little jealous.
"We do have a good relationship."
"No, no, it's scary." George corrected.
"Oh." Albert nodded to show that he knew.
However, Albert believes that the relationship between the two parties depends on the exchange of knowledge. Two people who are also good at ancient magic texts communicate with each other, and the other party, as an older senior, gives some kind help to his young junior.
As Professor McGonagall said, he maintained friendly correspondence with those famous wizards, and he and Professor Brod only went one step further.
After all, there is still a layer of professor-student relationship between the two parties.
From this notebook, it is not difficult to see that the relationship between Professor Broad and McDougal is similar to his own. The ancient magic texts discussed in the letters exchanged, or related to the letters left by other wizards.
The content is all in the notebook.
This part of the content was not too difficult for Albert, but it was very novel and allowed him to broaden his horizons.
By the second half of the notebook, several years have passed, and McDougal has already graduated from Hogwarts.
McDoug recorded in it that he was suddenly told that he had obtained a special identity, had the right to read a bunch of ancient documents, and began to learn some ancient spells.
"Special identity?" Albert continued to look down.
McDougal has begun to master how to use ancient magic words to recite spells.
"I can feel how special it is!"
McDougal left this sentence in his notebook.
"It's very late, aren't you still asleep?" Fred muttered in confusion, "Be careful not to get up tomorrow."
"I'm going to sleep too, good night." Albert covered a yawn, turned off the light, lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, when Albert woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
Everyone else in the dormitory went out. Albert stretched out, leaned on the pillow, picked up the notebook he had not finished reading last night, and continued to read.
McDougal began to come into contact with some ancient magic. These spells were very powerful, but they were not too sophisticated.
The notebook contained the name of the spell, but there was no incantation or gesture used to cast the spell, which made Albert a little disappointed.
The next few pages are all about this aspect, as well as McDougal's speculations about ancient magic texts.
From the records, it is not difficult to see that McDoug has researched and explored the special features of ancient magic texts, but has achieved nothing.
Albert noticed one thing, which was mentioned in the letter exchange between McDougal and Dumbledore. They were discussing the topic of Dumbledore asking the Patronus to speak.
Unfortunately, there is no follow-up, and the following written records do not mention this matter again. Moreover, this notebook ends here, and there is no follow-up. It should be said that there may be another one.
"Can I feel how special it is?" Albert quickly got up and went to Professor Brod's office.
McDougal did come, but he looked a little tired.
"Have you finished reading?" McDougal noticed that Albert was holding his notebook.
"Yes, I've finished reading it, but unfortunately, I still didn't find what I was looking for. There should be another half of the notes, right?" Albert asked tentatively.
"No more." McDougal shook his head.
"No more?" Albert was a little surprised. The other party actually said there was no more?
"Okay, I was just making a little joke." McDougal said with a smile: "But, it really doesn't exist anymore. You have to know why runes are considered to have magical powers?"
"You mean, when carving, magic power was injected into it?" Albert expressed his guess.
"Yes, but it's not right." McDoug said softly, "I can't tell you the real answer, because my knowledge is based on my understanding of the magic text. If you can't reach that level, it will be difficult to understand.
, and use it.”
Albert was silent and listened quietly to McDougal continue speaking.
"You need to be very proficient in using runes, secondly, you need to have strong magical power as a foundation. And thirdly, you need to be proficient in using ancient magic spells." McDougal said, "These are the three processes I went through."
"You have already done the first step, but your magic power is not strong enough, and you are not familiar with the magic of using ancient runes. But fortunately, you have already touched the threshold, and you will not be too far away from crossing it.
Already."
Albert's mouth twitched, he hated this vague statement.
You are not a magician.
Tell me clearly!
Otherwise, just put your experience into the magic text skills and let the magic text be directly upgraded to level 3. By then, you won't have so much trouble.
At this time, Albert suddenly remembered something, "Professor Brod, can you give me a certificate? I want to borrow books about ancient magic texts in the forbidden book area."
"Okay!" Professor Brod actually agreed. He turned around and wrote on the parchment: Mr. Albert Anderson is allowed to borrow books on ancient magic texts in the forbidden book area. - Bud Brod.
"Good luck." Albert muttered, took the note from Professor Broad and left.
"Why didn't you tell him?" Professor Broad asked puzzledly.
"What's the use of that? Didn't I tell you before? You haven't learned it yet and you think I'm deceiving you." McDougal glanced at Professor Broad and continued, "Albert is a genius.
We just need to give him some guidance, and you should believe in your own vision."
