The defeat in the Quidditch match plunged the entire Gryffindor House into a low ebb. The enthusiasm that had originally planned to continue competing for the Quidditch Trophy and House Cup suddenly disappeared. Fortunately, this Quidditch match lasted long enough, and with
The Ravenclaw team played a close match, which silenced some people who had doubts and dissatisfaction with the new players.
The Weasley twins are not in high spirits, but they still go to the stadium for training every week regardless of snow or ice.
This series of changes had little impact on Albert, and his life at Hogwarts remained basically unchanged.
Within a few days after the competition, something new happened in the school. Professor Pomona Sprout finally discovered that a pot of mandrake was missing in Greenhouse No. 3.
However, no one knows who took the pot of mandrake. Some people think that Peeves did it and planned to throw it into the auditorium to entertain everyone.
Administrator Filch is investigating this matter vigorously, trying to seize evidence of Peeves' crime and drive him out of the castle.
No one connected this incident with the crying in the castle half a month ago, except Snape. The potions professor still had a bad temper. He spent a lot of effort, but still could not find the culprit, and
, while preparing a potion, Snape discovered that three precious materials were missing from his warehouse.
"Is someone preparing to prepare a compound potion?"
Snape could tell at a glance what the thief who stole the materials wanted to do from the horns of the bicorn and the skin fragments of the African tree snake. As for the lost rune snake eggs, he did not add them to the Buffy Awakening Potion.
Lenovo, if someone wanted to become the brain of a troll, he wouldn't stop him.
Albert wanted to store some compound potions. With this thing, it would be much easier for him to pretend to be someone else in the future. At least he would not have to worry about being discovered when entering the black market.
However, making the compound potion was a waste of time, and he felt that Snape might also be keeping an eye on it. After all, he had the idea of drawing Snape's attention here in the first place.
Time came to late November, and another Quidditch match was held at the end of the month.
The situation was not optimistic. The Slytherin team defeated the Hufflepuff team with an absolute score advantage. Although Hufflepuff's new seeker Diggory had fought hard, he faced the Slytherin team.
During the encirclement and suppression, he was still as helpless as a kitten in a snowstorm.
Slytherin's victory is undoubtedly not good news for Gryffindor, at least the vast majority of students would rather see Hufflepuff win.
Unfortunately, the cheers could not help the Hufflepuff team win the final victory.
The lead in house scores and Quidditch competitions allowed Slytherin House to regain the confidence it had lost last year, and it was no less sarcastic towards Gryffindor.
"It's so irritating." Fred's quill was bent by him.
"How about we..." George made a tapping motion. He now wanted to give the Slytherin players who were snarling in front of him an unforgettable lesson.
"That's a good idea." Li Jordan narrowed his eyes happily and was ready to do something.
"Just don't worry about them." Albert said calmly.
"Don't be like this." Fred said.
"Old Bat is still watching." Albert reminded, "It will be more troublesome to be caught, and it has already started to snow."
"Cedar mushroom," he reminded.
"Oh fine."
Seeing that Albert was unwilling to help, Fred and the three of them were a little helpless. Without Albert's brains, it would not be easy to quietly harm those people.
Although they all like to cause trouble and want to take revenge on those guys, they definitely don't want to be targeted by Snape.
"I just heard that they seemed to be discussing something." After Fred and others left, Shanna sat down opposite Albert and placed a magazine called "Practical Potion Master" on Albert's table.
In front of Te, he smiled and said, "Congratulations."
"Congratulations for what?" Albert was stunned and looked at Shanna doubtfully.
"The paper," Shanna reminded, "is published in the magazine, "The Practical Potion Master"."
"Well, I don't think I've published the paper on it yet." Albert thought for a while and said. He did write one, but he hasn't sent it yet.
"It is indeed your name on it, Albert Anderson." Shanna looked at Albert suspiciously, opened the magazine to Albert's paper, raised her hand and pointed at it and said.
"Oh, I think I know what's going on." Albert flipped through "The Practical Potions Master" and immediately understood what was going on. Apparently someone helped him behind the scenes. This paper is
revised on his letter.
It seems that this matter has indeed been mentioned.
However, Albert didn't care much about these things anymore. After all, he already didn't lack such things as reputation.
If "Practical Potions Master" paid royalties, perhaps it would be more enthusiastic.
It's a pity that they don't pay royalties.
This magazine is an academic publication jointly organized by a group of potion masters who want to expand their influence. To put it bluntly, it is something that a certain small circle plays to build their own reputation.
Of course, it is still an authority on potions.
After all, the potions in "Practical Potion Master" are indeed very practical, so the reputations of the publishers are actually very good.
However, Albert himself did not actually intend to delve into this field, so he took this aspect very lightly.
However, this attitude is unusual in Shanna's eyes. She feels that few people can face it so calmly.
At this time, someone else came over and placed a magazine in front of them.
Albert and Shanna, who were chatting casually, both raised their heads to look at the person coming.
"Your paper has been selected." Katrina pointed to the "Magic Innovation" on the table.
"Is the new issue out?" Albert asked doubtfully. He remembered that he had also ordered this magazine.
"It came out the day before yesterday." Katrina said, "Congratulations, you have successfully published papers in the two academic journals "Transfiguration Today" and "Spell Innovation". I dare say this is the first
Hogwarts has never been better."
Shanna stayed in shock for a while, then smiled at Katrina and said, "Actually, you don't know, Anderson also published a paper in "Practical Potions Master", and that magazine is here."
"Maybe you can surpass Principal Dumbledore and become another legend." Katrina muttered, "Isobel said that the principal used to be a very powerful genius."
"I'll be embarrassed if you praise me like this." Although Albert said this, there was no trace of embarrassment on his face.
"Anyway, congratulations." Katrina rolled her eyes at Albert and said before turning and leaving, "By the way, Professor Flitwick is looking for you, probably for this reason."
