Albert put down the book in his hand, reached out to cover a yawn, and turned his head to look at the corner of the lounge, where a group of students were gathering together and whispering about something.
"What happened?"
He turned to ask Lee Jordan. This guy had been near the bulletin board just now. He should know what news had just been announced.
"The first Hogsmeade weekend." Lee Jordan pointed to a notice on the bulletin board and said, "Mid-October."
"Great." Fred blinked and said, "We are almost out of stink bombs, so we just went to Zuko's store to replenish them."
"Why do you always like to cause trouble for Filch?" Shanna, who was thinking about the translation of ancient magic texts, asked with raised eyebrows, "I know Filch is not lovable, but there is no need..."
"No, no, it was Filch who caused trouble for us first!" George interrupted.
Fred didn't intend to dwell on this matter, so he changed the subject and said, "Last time, we wanted to try to sell the garlic cross to Professor Quirrell, but unfortunately he seemed to think we were joking. At that time, I wondered, Professor Quirrell wasn't afraid
Will the vampires come to trouble him?"
"You believed what he said?" Albert couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
"Then why did he stuff garlic into the big scarf on his head? The smell can kill people." The Weasley brothers still insist that the big scarf must be stuffed with garlic.
"Who knows!" Albert muttered, "Maybe there is some big secret hidden in it."
"What's the big secret?" Fred asked curiously. He suddenly had an intuition that Albert's guess might be true.
"How do I know? I just guessed." Albert shrugged.
"How about we trick Peeves into picking off Professor Quirrell's big scarf." George's eyes lit up and he suggested. Of course, it's not easy to persuade Peeves. They need to prepare something interesting for the other party.
.
It was Albert who came up with this idea. The relationship between the two parties is still good now, but every time they ask Peeves to do something, they have to spend money.
"Albert, help me see, does this mean what these translations mean?" Angelina interrupted the conspiracies of several people and handed the parchment she had just translated to Albert.
"Unfortunately... they are all wrong." Albert glanced at the translation on the parchment and gave the answer.
"Oh, I really don't know why I chose this course in the first place." Angelina regretted taking the ancient magic text. This course is not very friendly to most students.
"Where's my share?"
Shanna pointed to her homework, which was the answer she had just translated through the Rune Dictionary.
It is indeed difficult for beginners to understand those weird and connected symbols, even with a "Rune Dictionary".
It's like learning a foreign language. Sometimes it's really confusing. What's more, this thing is even more difficult to learn than a foreign language.
Initially, everyone only needed to figure out what 0 to 9 represented. Later, they needed to translate a short rune through a dictionary and remember the meaning of those words.
This is the meaning of this course. In fact, it is to let you know what those weird symbols mean. It is said that the content of the exam also examines these things.
However, the most difficult part is that one rune symbol may often have several meanings, and it is necessary to repeatedly deduce the meaning of this sentence by connecting these symbols.
That's right, this is the so-called translation, a refined translation.
"There are several words in these two sentences that are wrongly translated." Albert pointed out the mistakes.
"Um."
Shanna leaned her head over, glanced at the errors pointed out by Albert, and thought about the meaning of those symbols.
She did not doubt Albert's judgment. The magic text genius who could converse with Professor Basilida Babling in ancient magic script and read ancient magic script books as ordinary reading materials had no qualifications at all. Even if
There's nothing wrong with being a teaching assistant to Professor Bathida Babbling.
As for the homework of ancient magic texts, it was naturally not difficult for Albert.
To be honest, Professor Bascida Barbling's class was the most boring class Albert had ever taken. The introductory knowledge of ancient magic scripts taught by him seemed to Albert now.
It's as simple as teaching yourself Arabic numerals.
However, you still have to take the ancient magic text class, and you can't skip classes at will.
Professor Bathida Barbling also knew about Albert's level. Unfortunately, Hogwarts only had the option of repeating a grade, but there was no such thing as skipping a grade. So as long as Albert did not interfere with class, she allowed him to do his own thing.
Already.
Except for the occasional time when Professor Bathcida Barbling would call Albert up on stage and have a few conversations with her about ancient magic texts, Albert spent the rest of the time doing his own thing.
He found something interesting for himself, looking for mistakes in the book, yes, looking for mistakes in "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Magic Texts". In fact, he was just looking for trouble.
The person who wrote the book is not a cheater with a good panel like Albert. It is impossible for him to make no mistakes at all. As long as he studies in depth, he can always find some mistakes. Albert will point out the mistakes and
Make comments next to it.
"By the way, how are you doing with your research on that thing?" Albert suddenly asked.
"We don't have a clue yet." George shook his head helplessly. "We are thinking about where to get some pus from the Babo tuber."
Not long ago, after the twins heard that a student was trying to remove acne on their face through drastic measures, they wondered if they could make money from this.
Fred and George would not take it for granted. They asked Albert for his opinion. The latter also believed that women all like to be beautiful and would not be stingy with their galleons in this regard. If they could really produce such a product, they would not take it for granted.
You can definitely sell magic potions and make a lot of money.
In fact, there is a similar beauty potion store in Diagon Alley.
Fred and George naturally did not want to compete with Mrs. Primpine for business. Their target group was school students, and they were researching a magic potion that could effectively eliminate acne and pimples.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If the raw materials can be obtained, Albert is willing to provide technical and intellectual support.
He has already asked Professor Sprout how to prepare this magic potion. When the time comes, he only needs to invest some experience in upgrading and improving it, and it will be put to use.
Of course, Albert's willingness to provide support is also related to his sister, who just gave it to Nia as a birthday gift. Isobel may also use it, and can make money from it in the future. No matter how you look at it, it is quite cost-effective.
Fred and George were thinking about the Barbo tubers in the school's No. 3 greenhouse, and planned to sneak over to get some to make a potion for Albert.
Of course, you can also buy it directly from Slug Giggs' pharmacy in Diagon Alley. However, since the school has it ready, Fred and George don't mind making some themselves.
Lee Jordan didn't pay much attention to this. He usually only paid attention to the wizard card.
As for now, this guy is chatting with others about another piece of gossip: another person was almost bitten by the big dog in the restricted corridor on the fourth floor.
"How courageous. Didn't the unfortunate guy who was bitten just come out of the school hospital last time?"
"I heard that he was a Hufflepuff student. He was frightened by the big dog and his legs became weak. Fortunately, Professor Quirrell happened to pass by and used magic to pull him out so that he was not injured."
"This is not quite like Hufflepuff's style." Albert raised his eyebrows.
If it was really impulsive, he should be in Gryffindor!
Albert bent down and picked up Tom, who was warming himself by the fireplace, and scratched the cat's ears. He could probably guess what was going on.
The Imperius Curse?
It seems that Professor Quirrell is looking for someone to try, trying to find a way to defeat the three-headed dog?
What should I say?
The students themselves are curious to death, and it’s not just once or twice anyway. As long as they don’t cause too much trouble, they usually won’t attract the attention of the professors, and at most they will deduct a few points.
Professor Quirrell did deduct 10 points from the Hufflepuff student as a warning.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I wonder when I will be able to complete the great feat of reading a hundred books?" Albert put Tom down on the ground and continued to flip through the book in front of him.
"A hundred books?" Shanna raised her eyebrows and said, "I thought you had finished reading them."
"I read about 45 books," Albert said. Since entering second grade, he has spent much less time reading.
"I read the description of Hogsmeade from the "Wizard Ancients" you have. It is a very interesting place. It is said that the headquarters of the goblin rebellion is there." Shanna put the modified ancient magic
Putting his homework aside, he chatted with Albert about Hogsmeade.
"The headquarters of the Goblin Rebellion is in the Pig's Head Bar. It's a chaotic place, and it's also very dirty. If you go there, remember to bring yourself a cup." Albert said casually. He didn't like the Pig's Head Bar, and he didn't like Aberforth.
He didn't like it either. That bastard hasn't replied to him yet, although Albert didn't really expect the other party to reply to him.
"I heard that it is the only place in Britain where there are no Muggles." Shanna wanted to talk to Albert about this topic, but she didn't know that Albert had sneaked there with the twins several times.
There's nothing new about it.
"You don't seem too interested?"
"Well, not bad!" Albert shrugged towards his roommates, "The Three Broomsticks and Honeydukes are more suitable."
He glanced at the communication bookmark and sent a message to Isobel: Hogsmeade, do you want a date?
It didn't take long for the bookmark to change color. Albert turned it over and glanced at it. The other party only replied with one word: Yeah!
Going to Hogsmeade next weekend, we all got together to talk about what we should do first when we get to Hogsmeade.
"You seem to be familiar with Hogsmeade, remember to introduce it to us." Shanna got everyone's signal and mustered up the courage to say, "Let's go together then!"
"I'm familiar with it too, and I can introduce it to you!" Li Qiaodan said with a playful smile.
"I have an appointment." Albert declined politely, "Let Li Qiaodan introduce it to you!"
The girls couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. After looking at each other, they nodded and reluctantly agreed.
