After the holiday, the weather became sunnier and warmer day by day. Everyone finally couldn't bear the temptation, put aside their heavy homework, left the library and wandered on the lawn to relieve the pressure caused by study.
Albert had just returned from Hagrid's hut, and there was little movement in the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid told him three times how he shot the werewolf Yorman in the knee with an arrow and successfully captured him.
Unfortunately, the Ministry of Magic was unwilling to pay the bounty for the unlucky werewolf. The reason was that the werewolf Yorman was not rewarded by the Ministry of Magic. Hagrid himself didn't mind, but Albert looked down on the behavior of the Ministry of Magic and walked away.
What a thing.
Albert returned to the hall and immediately saw Fred and George sitting there playing wizard cards. There were several spectators around them. After two rounds of eliminations, the number of wizard card enthusiasts increased.
Of course, this is related to the fact that the twins are using new wizard cards, and the onlookers want to borrow cards from them to play a game.
Lee Jordan was flipping through today's Prophet newspaper. When he saw Albert coming, he put down the newspaper and greeted him.
"How about it?"
"Everyone is still looking for Professor Smith all over the world." Lee Jordan couldn't help but sigh. "No one still knows where he went. The reward in the newspaper has increased again. Anyone who can help the Smith family find someone or provide
For useful information, I will give you 1,000 galleons as a reward, I really want this money!"
"There is nothing missing in the dream."
Albert took the Daily Prophet from Lee Jordan, read the front page news carefully, and couldn't help shaking his head, "Rita Skeeter actually thinks this is a Hogwarts problem. That woman even blamed Dumbledore."
Headmaster, is she going crazy because she wants to be famous?"
"Dad said that reporter likes to fabricate news." Fred suddenly interrupted.
"Originally, I thought I would be able to find Professor Smith soon." George threw down the card and muttered, "As a result, there was not even a bit of news. Professor Smith seemed to have disappeared out of thin air."
"What do you think?" Angelina took over George's wizard deck and prepared to play a game with Zannah.
"Some people say that Professor Smith may have been killed or kidnapped, so he disappeared inexplicably." Albert hesitated, "I think this possibility is relatively high."
"Hey, hey, you don't have to curse Professor Smith like this!" Fred was speechless immediately. Albert's nonsense was really annoying.
Could Professor Smith really be dead?
"I'm just telling the most likely thing!" Albert shook his head and said, "It is impossible for a wizard as powerful as Professor Smith to disappear without warning, and there is no reason to do so. The most likely thing is that someone
Kidnapped, or already dead, otherwise, why do you think he is hiding?"
Everyone around him was silent, because what Albert said made sense, and this matter is still weird in every way. No one knows why Professor Smith left Hogwarts in a hurry, and where he went.
"I thought you had a good relationship with Professor Smith."
"The relationship is good, and I have been paying attention to this matter."
"Where are you going?" Lee Jordan asked when he saw Albert putting down the newspaper and getting up to leave.
"Go to Professor Broad and see if there is any new news from him." Albert stood up and prepared to go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.
Of course, what I just said was just an excuse.
A few minutes later, Albert knocked on the wooden door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.
Professor Brod opened the door and motioned for Albert to go inside.
"You're here, you're more patient than I thought. What do you want to drink, milk tea?" Professor Brod motioned for Albert to sit down. The Defense Against the Dark Arts office had changed drastically.
"Mr. Mogg said someone would explain it to us." Albert sat down opposite Professor Broad, stirred the milk tea with a spoon, and looked at Professor Broad and said.
"Yes. However, it is not appropriate here." Professor Broad made a shushing gesture, took out a bag of Galleons from his pocket and placed it in front of Albert.
"Your loot."
"too much."
"The extra one hundred Galleons were given to you by Gerber. Of course, Isobel also has a share. He is very sorry about that matter." Professor Brod pushed the Galleons in front of Albert and said, "Take it.
Get off!"
"Did you know this from the beginning?" Albert did not refuse and put the money bag into the deformed lizard bag.
"I have a hunch!" Professor Brod said, "Mog has been living in Hogsmeade temporarily."
"Mr. Mogg is late." Albert reminded.
"He just went over to confirm whether you are alive." Professor Broad said calmly, "You know, there is something called a time turner. If necessary, Gerber will go back to the past and directly solve the source of the problem. So, you
Nothing will happen."
"How rude." Albert raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought some things would be difficult to completely reverse even with a time turner, and would instead drive people crazy."
"Of course you can't do it alone, but a group of people can do it." Professor Broad interrupted, "Well, we'd better not continue this topic. I brought you something that you will definitely be interested in."
As he spoke, Professor Brod placed a wooden box on the table, which contained a thick rusty metal book.
"Book of Bronze?" Albert asked curiously.
"Yes, this is the Bronze Book in Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets." Professor Brod nodded and admitted.
"You want me to put it back?"
"right."
"Why not let Mr. Mogg put it back?" Albert stretched out his hand to touch the lines on the book and asked, "He should have this ability."
"Who knows?" Professor Broad obviously didn't want to say.
"Can I read it?" Albert asked again.
"Of course." Professor Brod said, "It contains records about the use of ancient rune magic. Mog has already read it, and maybe you can understand it. However, I suggest you put it back far away and start slowly.
Watch.”
"This thing is really cumbersome." Albert's eyes fell on the wooden box.
"I know you still have a lot of doubts, but now is not a good time to talk about these things. After the holiday, you come to live with me for a few days, and I will slowly tell you these things."
"Can I give up? I'll give the opportunity to Isobel." Albert suddenly said.
"Don't be so hasty to draw conclusions. Besides, you are still in the investigation stage." Professor Broad winked at Albert and said, "We will eventually find a way to make you agree, I promise."
“Wilder Smith’s legacy?”
"You will know it then, and you will definitely be surprised." Professor Broad showed a meaningful smile, "I was also shocked at first."
"Do you think I will be qualified?" Albert couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Professor Brod just smiled and was not prepared to answer Albert's question.
