The Gryffindor team once again defeated the Slytherin team, defeating the Nimbus 2001 that the opponent spent a large sum of galleons to purchase. This is undoubtedly exciting news for the members and students of the Gryffindor team.
To this end, everyone held a brief banquet in the common room to celebrate this great victory. However, unfortunately, the Gryffindor Quidditch hero Harry Potter who helped them win was injured and hospitalized.
I can't come to this banquet.
The banquet lasted for half an hour. After everyone finished eating the food that Fred and George brought from the kitchen, they began to clean up the garbage left at the banquet.
In the corner of the lounge, Lee Jordan was playing cards with Fred, who had just taken a hot bath, and next to him were Ron and Hermione, who were arguing over Lockhart taking away Harry's bones.
After George helped Wood put away the trash, he came over to watch them play cards. Then he turned to look at Hermione and Ron who were arguing, and said casually, "Mrs. Pomfrey thinks the professor who removed Harry's bones is too incompetent.
I even lost my temper because of it."
"Everyone makes mistakes." Hermione argued. She looked at Albert, who was walking this way, hoping to get support from him.
"You can give Potter some candies. His situation is not very good. The process of growing bones in his arm will be very painful."
Albert didn't answer Hermione's words. It was unwise to discuss her admirers with girls. After saying that, he moved his eyes elsewhere and fell on the boy who was looking through the photos, "Creevey, right?"
"What's the matter? Mr. Anderson." The boy named Creevey subconsciously used honorifics after noticing that it was Albert who was speaking.
"If you don't want to be hated by Potter, you'd better apologize to him properly." Albert looked at the stack of photos and reminded, "Porter definitely doesn't want you to take these photos."
"Does Harry really hate me?" Colin Creevey froze and looked at Albert uneasily.
"Give me the photo!" Albert said.
The latter hesitated for a moment, but obediently handed all the photos to Albert.
Hermione, Ron, who were still arguing, and even the trio playing cards came over. After looking at Harry's embarrassed appearance in the photo, Ron finally couldn't help but speak first.
"You deliberately photographed Harry looking embarrassed to make him look bad, and you'd be damned if Harry would look good on you."
"Sorry, I just..."
"It's useless for you to apologize to us here..." Albert pulled out a few photos from the pile, compared them carefully, and handed three of the photos to Lee Jordan.
"What are you doing with these photos?" Hermione asked confused.
"Make them into wizard cards!" Lee Jordan put the photos away with a smile, and said to Creevey, who was looking at him eagerly, "When the wizard cards are finished, I will remember to give you one.
"
"I don't think Harry would like this." Hermione frowned and reminded her. Albert's actions really made her speechless. This guy was clearly teaching Creevey a lesson just now, but...
"This is the victory that Harry Potter worked hard for." Albert said seriously, "We will record it on the wizard card, and the name will be..."
"A difficult victory." Lee Jordan said quickly.
"That's a good name. I'll leave it to you to make the wizard card."
"Are you going on a date again?" Li Jordan raised his eyebrows.
"It's not a date. I have something to do here, so I'll leave first. See you later." Albert nodded, turned around and prepared to leave. He planned to go to the Room of Requirement first to make final preparations for tonight's action.
No matter what, we must successfully control Riddle's diary tonight.
As soon as Albert left the common room, he heard rapid footsteps behind him.
"Is something wrong?" Albert stopped and looked at Hermione suspiciously.
"Do you know about compound potions?" Hermione looked around to make sure there was no one around before asking.
"Compound potion?" Albert was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "I know it's a potion that can disguise a person as another person. Why do you ask?"
"That..." Hermione hesitated for a moment, and finally briefly told Albert about the three of them's suspicion that Malfoy was the heir of Slytherin and their plan.
After a longer silence, Albert nodded and said: "What you said does make sense. Many pure-blood wizards do intermarry with each other. It is not surprising that Malfoy has Slytherin blood. I have the formula for the compound potion.
I do know that there are relevant records in the "Powerful Potion" in the restricted book area."
"We got the signed note from Professor Lockhart for the restricted area, but the book seems..."
"Borrowed by someone?" Albert said with a smile.
"Yes, Mrs. Pince said that the book might have been stolen because she couldn't find the record left by the borrower." Hermione felt depressed when she talked about this.
"Oh..."Powerful Potion" was just...borrowed." Albert corrected, "After using it for a while, it will be returned to the restricted book area."
"Did you borrow it?" Hermione thought carefully about the meaning of these words, suddenly raised her head, and looked at Albert in surprise.
"There are many interesting books in the restricted book area, but it is troublesome to borrow signatures from professors, so I will borrow them at night when I need them." Albert said without hesitation that he came from the restricted book area.
about borrowing books.
Hermione really didn't expect that Albert would directly admit that he had taken the book away.
"If you need it, I can give you the book for now, and then return it to me after you use it." Albert turned his head and raised his index finger towards Hermione, making a shushing gesture, "But, this
Remember to keep this matter confidential.”
"I will." Hermione nodded vigorously and promised.
"Let's go. The "Powerful Potion" is in the dormitory. I'll give it to you."
Albert turned around and returned to his dormitory, and Hermione quickly followed.
This was Hermione's first time in Albert's dormitory. The dormitory was no different from Harry's dormitory. The only difference was probably... Her eyes fell on the cat nest and cat climbing frame, and she couldn't help but ask:
"Didn't you bring Tom to school?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hermione suddenly remembered that she had not seen Albert's cat throughout the semester.
"No, it's not appropriate this year." Albert took out a dated book from the drawer of the bedside table and handed it to Hermione.
The latter carefully took the book, put it on the table and began to read.
"What potion did you steal...borrow this book to refine?" Hermione couldn't help but ask.
"Elixir of Fortune." Albert didn't hide it, "I'm still researching it."
"Elixir of Fortune?" Hermione quickly turned the pages of the book, her eyes fell on the formula of Elixir of Fortune, and she couldn't help but take a breath, "This is definitely the most complicated potion I have ever seen."
"Yes, Elixir of Fortune is almost the most difficult of all potions, but its effect is also great and can bring good luck to people." Albert said with a smile, "You want to configure it?
The compound potion is also very difficult, and it also takes a lot of time to brew, so you have to be mentally prepared."
"It actually takes a month!" Hermione said in disbelief after browsing the recipe for the compound potion.
"Time is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that the compound potion itself is a prohibited trade item, so the horns of the bicorn and the skin of the African tree snake in the ingredients are also listed as Class D prohibited trade items by the Ministry of Magic. I'm afraid you are not allowed to trade them.
You can't get these two raw materials through normal channels. You can consider the black market, but the price will be a bit expensive, but I remember that Harry is very rich. Or..." Albert's tone paused, and a strange look suddenly appeared on his face.
Smile: "You can also consider breaking into Snape's private warehouse. There must be these two raw materials there, but you need to take some risks."
Hermione was silent. He didn't expect that Albert would actually suggest that she break into Snape's private warehouse. If she was caught...
However, if they really wanted to prepare a compound potion, they might not really have many choices, and she would have to find time to talk to Harry about it.
