Putting Katrina's riddle bet during the Quidditch match was undoubtedly because she didn't want other people to watch. Perhaps, Isobel had her own considerations. She obviously didn't want too many people to know the secret of entering and leaving Ravenclaw.
Although, students from other houses who successfully answer the riddle have a low chance of entering the Ravenclaw common room.
"Wait!"
Before Isobel turned around and left, Albert suddenly called her to stop her.
"Anything else?" Isobel stopped and turned to look at Albert.
"Professor Snape has an ability, you know? When I look at him, I feel like he has seen through me." Albert took a few steps quickly and walked side by side in the corridor with Isobel, "You
Do you know what’s going on?”
"Why do you think so?" Isobel was silent for a moment and asked.
"I think this should be a kind of magic." Albert said as he walked: "In the Muggle world, there is a saying called mind reading."
Isobel stopped, looked sideways at Albert and asked, "Do you want to learn this kind of magic?"
"No, I want to find a way to counter him." Albert looked helpless, "No one wants to be read by others, especially Professor Snape. To be honest, I hate being read that way.
The feeling of seeing through.”
"You mean Legilimency?"
"So, it is indeed a kind of magic." Albert showed a true expression.
"Legilimency can be used to cheat on exams." Isobel also stopped, looked at Albert up and down, and suddenly said: "Of course, you probably don't need to cheat."
"Is there any countermeasure?" Albert immediately asked: "I mean the magic that can protect yourself from others understanding your thoughts."
"Occlumency, there should be such books in the restricted book area." Isobel stared into Albert's eyes and said coldly: "Actually, you know, right!"
"What's the matter?" Albert's heart suddenly suddenly moved, and he immediately looked away, pretending to be confused and asked.
"About Occlumency." The expression on Isobel's face still didn't change much, "Or, Legilimency."
"Well, I found a similar statement in the library, but I didn't find any related books." Albert knew that he couldn't hide it from the other party, so he didn't continue to pretend to be stupid, otherwise he would really become a fool.
Isobel took a deep look at Albert and looked away.
"I hope to find relevant books. Of course, it would be better if you know how to use this magic and are willing to teach me." Albert said with a smile.
"I do know Occlumency," Isobel said.
He really can!
Albert just talked casually, but he didn't expect Isobel to actually say that he knew this Occlumency technique!
Albert was silent for a moment, then suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked tentatively: "Mr. McDougal taught you?"
"Why do you ask that?" Isobel asked calmly, because Albert guessed it right.
"So, I guessed it right." Albert said to himself: "This Easter, I was taken to Mr. McDougal's party by Professor Broad..."
Isobel suddenly made a shushing gesture towards him. On the opposite side of the corridor, someone was walking towards this direction, it was Professor Smith.
Although Albert was a little confused, he didn't say anything about it after all. When he turned around, he found that Professor Rowena Smith had appeared a few steps away from them.
"Good afternoon." Professor Smith greeted the two of them with a smile, and then his eyes fell on Albert, "Have you written a reply to them?"
"Yes, you just replied to me a few days ago." Albert nodded.
"That's good." Professor Smith suddenly asked, "By the way, what are you talking about?"
"We are discussing ancient magic texts." Albert explained casually, "Professor Babbling is preparing to publish a book related to ancient magic texts. She hopes that I can help her revise this part of the manuscript. Isobel
She is also very good at ancient magic texts, I am asking her if she is willing to help."
"Revise the manuscript?" Smith looked at Albert in surprise. He remembered that Mr. McDoug had also done this to Albert, so he was relieved.
"My attainments in ancient magic texts are far inferior to Albert's." Isobel declined politely.
"Well, that's a good thing." Professor Smith said with a smile: "When it's done, remember to tell me and I'll buy a copy and have a look."
"I will write it down." Albert said seriously. As he said that, he actually took out his notebook from his pocket and simply recorded this sentence on it.
At this moment, both Isobel and Professor Smith were stunned.
None of them thought that Albert would actually write this down.
After Professor Smith walked away, the two of them resumed their previous conversation.
"By the way," Albert asked. "Can you teach me Occlumency?"
"Why should I teach you?" Isobel asked.
"I have Galleons." Albert said without thinking.
"I'm just getting started." Isobel didn't lie. She learned Occlumency this summer. Just like Albert said, it was taught by his uncle Mog MacDoug.
However, what you said just now is considered agreed, right?
"It doesn't matter, I just need you to lead me in." Albert said without hesitation, "I will figure out the rest on my own."
As he spoke, Albert crossed his two index fingers together and said, "How about this price?"
"Are you really rich?" Isobel said meaningfully.
"Learning Apparition also requires Galleons." Albert didn't care, "Of course, because you are not a regular person, I think the price is appropriate."
"Yes, as long as you don't regret it." Isobel agreed.
"When does it start?" Albert asked.
"Sunday, once a week, in the Transfiguration Club classroom." Isobel thought for a while and reminded: "You better not have high expectations. I'm not good at Legilimency, and I don't know how to do it.
Back Galleons.”
"No problem." Albert said with a smile, "If you know which books on Occlumency there are, you can tell me."
"This... "Advanced Occlumency Guide"." Isobel hesitated for a moment, then said, "This is the book that my uncle showed me. If you want to find it, you should be able to find it in the restricted book section of the school."
"See you on the weekend!" Albert nodded and prepared to turn around and leave.
"Aren't you worried about me lying to you?" Isobel said curiously.
"Can you do it?" Albert asked, "What's more, I have galleons."
Isobel's face twitched. Such words always felt like someone who was suddenly rich. Of course, she believed what Albert said. After all, how could the guy who bet Katrina with ten galleons be short of galleons?
Woolen cloth?
As for making fun of yourself with this matter?
Isobel felt that this was unlikely.
Although the trust between the two parties is not high, their current and future social circles are destined to have a large overlap. Both Albert and Isobel have actually discovered this. Moreover, both parties have also
He is a genius and has his own pride. He will never do something so tasteless, nor does he bother to do it.
Of course, in Isobel's view, Albert was just a rich man who took advantage of him, and she did not think that he could easily master Occlumency.
However, Isobel obviously doesn't know that there is something called a plug-in in this world.
