When the two walked out of the hall and walked to a deserted corner, Hermione couldn't wait to say, "Or, I should say it's you, right."
"When did you discover it?"
Albert looked at the girl in front of him expressionlessly, and suddenly asked with a smile.
He had no excuses at all and no intention of hiding anything.
When Hermione heard Albert's answer, the expression on her face became very complicated. She probably didn't expect that Albert would admit it so simply.
"Is there something on my face?" Albert asked.
"A few days ago, I saw you received a thick letter." Hermione recalled.
"I didn't expect you would pay special attention to my affairs." Albert raised his eyebrows and teased.
"I discovered it by accident," Hermione said dryly.
"Then what?"
"The sender is Mr. Serra Harris." Hermione took a deep breath and replied.
"I see, Mr. Harry Heath is indeed more famous!" Albert nodded. He understood why Hermione showed that expression, as if he accidentally learned that a famous person was actually a friend of a well-known friend.
It gives people a sense of unreality.
"Last time, when Harry, Ron and I were looking for Nico Flamel, they checked out the "Directory of Famous Contemporary Magicians", "Major Discoveries of Modern Magic" and "Research on the Development of Modern Witchcraft".
His name is in the book." Hermione deliberately lowered her voice and added: "Mr. Harry Heath is proficient in alchemy."
"Well, that makes sense, what else?" Albert continued to nod, looking at Hermione with interest, ready to listen to what the other party would say next.
"I heard from others that you often receive a lot of thick letters." Hermione took a deep breath and expressed her guess: "You must know many famous wizards and maintain good correspondence with them.
"
"Yes, I do know a lot of famous wizards and keep in touch with them through letters." Albert noticed the slightly expectant look in Hermione's pupils and admitted straightforwardly.
"So... why can't you meet Nico Flamel?" After Hermione finished speaking, her tone suddenly paused. She looked at Albert who took out his wand and waved it, and asked doubtfully, "What did you do?
"
"A simple spell can effectively prevent others from eavesdropping on our conversation." Albert put away his wand and explained to Hermione with a smile, "I don't like too many people knowing about me. I miss you.
You should be able to understand.”
Hermione nodded in understanding.
"Go on." Albert made a gesture of invitation, which made Hermione a little embarrassed.
She adjusted her mood before continuing.
"On the French version of the Philosopher's Stone formula, and on several treasure maps that Harry found last time, there is a similar abbreviation alfg. We all thought that alfg should be the abbreviation of a certain name, and we guessed alfg
Who is it?"
"I also suspect that you are alfg, but your initials are a.a."
"Why do you doubt me?" Albert asked curiously.
"Because you seem to like...mystery."
Hermione spoke very softly, but Albert's hearing was very good.
However, Hermione's words made him a little embarrassed.
Are you really a person who likes to be mysterious and pretentious?
Okay, Albert admitted that he did have some points, but all those so-called prophecies came true.
Isn't it?
"Later, I suddenly realized that you have three friends. If you put their abbreviations together, it means alfg." Hermione lowered her head and did not look at the change in expression on Albert's face.
, she spoke out all her speculations in rapid succession. After she finished speaking, she raised her head and stared into Albert's eyes, wanting to know whether her analysis was correct.
"Yes, you are indeed right."
"Fred, George and Lee Jordan once proposed that we should leave something interesting in the school, so we made a lot of treasure maps and buried some small things as treasures." Albert said calmly:
"Of course, I don't deny that this is indeed a joke. The formula of the magic stone is actually not uncommon in the magic world. As long as you have been exposed to alchemy, you will understand that there are actually many such things, but the magic spread among the outside world
But all the stone formulas are fake.”
"So, you deliberately made a French version of the Philosopher's Stone formula, because Nico Flamel is French?" Hermione seemed to have thought of something, and took out the Philosopher's Stone formula from her pocket, which was the formula that Albert had used last time.
To Hermione,
"You're angry."
"I'm not angry."
"That's why you're angry," said Albert.
"I just feel like a fool being played around with." Hermione pursed her lips tightly.
"I didn't expect that Dumbledore would actually hide the stone in Hogwarts, and you found the formula for the Sorcerer's Stone." Albert spread his hands and shrugged helplessly towards Hermione, saying
It was just an accident.
Yes, it was really just an accident.
"Then why do you want to tell us the answer again?" Hermione asked again the doubt in her heart.
"Because I found you, Harry and Ron were both eyeing that stone." Albert looked at Hermione and said, "I don't know what you want to do, but with Gryffindor's character, even if I don't
Let me tell you, you will eventually find the answer. I tell you in advance just to prevent you from asking around for information about the Philosopher's Stone and causing more trouble."
"There is no shortage of guys in Gryffindor House who like to cause trouble everywhere." Albert looked directly into Hermione's eyes and asked, "Okay, Miss Granger, can you tell me what you want to do after asking about these things?"
What?"
"We're just curious."
"This is a really bad excuse." Albert laughed at himself, "I can say ten of them in one breath."
"We didn't want to steal the stone." Hermione hesitated and said honestly, "We were just worried that the stone would be stolen."
She looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then whispered to Albert, "Harry thought Snape was eyeing the Philosopher's Stone. He came across Snape forcing Professor Quirrell to reveal the secret of protecting the Philosopher's Stone."
organ."
At this moment, Albert suddenly wanted to laugh.
It is undeniable that this scapegoat is indeed suitable for Snape.
Especially when these words came from Hermione's mouth, it was so interesting.
"Harry's guess makes sense." Albert nodded seriously, agreeing with Harry's point of view, "Snape is indeed not a good person."
"Actually, you know Nico Flamel, right?" Hermione suddenly asked, "That's why you know so much about the Philosopher's Stone."
"Yes, I do know Nico Flamel and have contact with him." Albert directly denied the second half of the sentence, "But I know the Philosopher's Stone because every alchemist hopes that he can successfully create magic.
Shi, I am no exception."
"Don't talk about this to anyone else, okay?" He deliberately lowered his voice and said to Hermione: "Not even Harry Potter. Can you keep this secret for me?"
"If it's a secret, then why did you tell me?" Hermione asked in confusion.
"I think you can keep this secret for me as promised." Albert showed a heart-warming smile.
Of course, this is pure nonsense to deceive people.
If Hermione lied and was not prepared to help him keep the secret, Albert would be able to tell it and use the forgetting spell to make Hermione forget the memory.
Moreover, this is not an important secret.
Of course, if Hermione can help him keep a secret, the relationship between the two parties will go further, which will help Albert gain more favor from Hermione in the future. He also wants to see if he can gain more favor from the three of them.
The mission is, after all, a trio of saviors. As the protagonists of this world, there is still value in making good friends with them.
"Well, I won't tell anyone, I promise." Hermione nodded seriously and promised Albert to keep it a secret.
