Albert has never been a suspicious person, at least not in his previous life. This may be related to his previous living environment, but now he has to say that Professor Rowena Smith is a bit suspicious, at least based on the many pieces of information he has obtained so far.
The results obtained are indeed the same.
It is undeniable that Albert's prejudice as a time traveler is also there, but he still believes that before Voldemort completely takes over the streets, every wizard who comes to Hogwarts as a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is here to cause trouble. Maybe
Something will be involved.
Perhaps, the final answer may be far from his guess, but before Professor Smith leaves Hogwarts, it does not prevent Albert from temporarily putting him on the blacklist.
The form of Boggart is closely related to people's inner fears. Professor Smith's Boggart turned into the corpse of Isobel's father, which had to make Albert suspicious.
He even boldly guessed that the death of Isobel's father was most likely related to Professor Smith. Even if there was no direct connection, there would be an indirect connection.
According to Isobel, her father died during a magical experiment.
If we insist on connecting everything, the only thing the four people have in common is that they are all candidates for successors, and they have all been trained by successors.
Therefore, Albert boldly guessed that the failure of Isobel's father's magic experiment was caused by man-made inducements, and Professor Smith was probably the culprit. Therefore, Isobel's father's body would become a fear of Professor Smith, and it was possible that he
Killing one's friends intentionally, unintentionally, or even indirectly.
Albert recorded his guesses in a small book with a quill. This kind of plot is very common in mystery novels, and the inducement may be for something.
As for the so-called something?
Naturally, it is a matter for the heir.
In order to inherit a large sum of galleons and other valuable inheritances, it is not really a strange thing to do such a thing.
Although such a speculation is a bit ridiculous, it does not mean that such a bold speculation is impossible.
Huge wealth is enough to drive people crazy, and as long as the benefits are big enough, it is not impossible to stab a friend in the back.
Then there is speculation about Ravenclaw's treasure trove of knowledge.
Why does Professor Smith want the wealth in Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets?
There are two speculations about this. The first one is that Ravenclaw’s Chamber of Secrets is related to the heir. The second one is purely for the wealth inside. However, knowing that the wealth inside is knowledge, so Professor Smith previously
That's why his back is so lonely.
If the four people are connected to the Ravenclaw Treasure House, the first possibility is rather high.
Moreover, Isobel may have found Ravenclaw's treasure trove of knowledge from his father's notes, indicating that his father most likely went inside and may have obtained something in it to become the heir.
Because there was only one heir, he was killed?
However, why didn't Professor Smith become the heir?
The reason why Albert was sure that Professor Smith was not the heir was because when he was invited by Mog McDougal to spend Halloween at the lake house last Halloween, he discovered that there was a gap in the ages between Professor Brod and several others. If
If they are really related to the heir, or... In fact, Professor Brod and several others are responsible for selecting the heir, and they are even former heirs themselves?
So, what was the purpose of Professor Broad coming to Hogwarts last year?
For Ravenclaw's treasure trove of knowledge? Or maybe it has something to do with the heir, but one thing even Albert can't deny. Professor Brod finally helped him, and he was not hostile to him, and even treated him kindly like a relative.
Same.
This led Albert not to doubt Professor Smith at first, not only because they knew each other, but at that time he did not know about the heir, and he only thought that Professor Brod was planning to draw him into a certain circle of friends.
If the bold guess is true, what role did Isobel play in this matter?
An avenger to avenge his father?
Or is it a candidate to seize the position of heir?
Or... both?
"So, what role do you play?" Albert looked at the parchment in his hand and muttered to himself, "The unlucky guy who was involved in this incident for no reason? The candidate for the successor?"
What roles do Professor Broad and Mr. Mog McDougal play?
The referee who selects the successor?
So... Mr. Smith is the heir candidate and the villain boss?
No, Professor Smith may have been unqualified. After all, he was the successor candidate in the previous round. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, the role of successor candidate should be eliminated?
What's more, he has failed.
Of course, there is another possibility that Mr. Smith is also the "successor" referee. After all, with Snape's case before him, it is really difficult to say until the end.
No way, the plot of the novel is indeed nonsense sometimes, but reality is sometimes even more nonsense, not to mention that he is in this world where he doesn't know whether it is a novel or reality.
Of course, all of this may be Albert's own delusion, but he still believes that Professor Smith's arrival at Hogwarts is probably related to the matter of the heir. After all, Rowena's surname is Smith, and the so-called coincidence is usually just considered a fabrication.
coincidence.
So, last question.
Isobel seems to know a lot of things. How does she know so many things?
Did someone tell her, or did she infer from the things her father left behind, or did she have some way of gathering information?
All three are possible, but there is no doubt that Isobel knows many things and is even closer to the truth than him, but the other party is unwilling to tell.
In fact, it is not that Albert cannot understand Isobel. If he were to kill him, he would keep the secret and would not trust others easily.
"I don't know why, but I always feel that this world is very unsafe!" Albert tore out the pages from the diary and threw them into the flames and burned them to ashes.
Now, he just hopes that his speculations are just boring delusions.
"Sure enough, you should prepare more things for yourself to defend yourself." Albert murmured, if possible, he really wanted to carry two wands with him.
Why bring two?
This is habitual thinking. Most wizards only have one wand. Many villains like to talk about themselves after disarming the opponent's weapon. This is considered to give others a chance to turn defeat into victory.
