Although he and Kathleen were just ordinary friends, the other party's slightly intimate behavior still made Albert feel a little uncomfortable.
"Long time no see. I didn't expect to see you here."
Albert glanced at Isobel secretly, then cleared up his expression and greeted Katharine in the same tone as a friend.
"That's your girlfriend, she's more beautiful than expected."
Katherine looked at Isobel with a scrutinizing gaze, and joked with a smile, "However, you came to participate in a competition, and you actually brought your girlfriend with you. It's really enviable."
"How did you become the leader of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" Albert tried to change the topic to avoid being led into a trap by asking him to answer the question of who is more beautiful.
"Grandpa has a good relationship with the principal of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He persuaded him to let me become the team leader. By the way, I forgot to tell you, I am now the potions assistant at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Catherine from
On the playing field, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the young man with unique temperament in front of him again. The opponent was more confident than before.
"What a surprise, I thought you would..."
"I have to find something for myself, and I just have a name in school now." Kathleen interrupted. She is very accomplished in potions, and her exquisite appearance makes her very popular in school.
The most important thing about being popular with everyone is that she is a well-connected person, so she naturally has no difficulty in certain things.
"Don't mind if it takes up a little bit of your boyfriend's time!"
Katherine smiled kindly at Isobel, who was walking towards her, with a bit of ridicule in her tone.
"I don't mind. Anyway, Albert always has a bunch of beautiful female friends around him. I'm used to it now." Isobel gestured to Kathleen to look at the Veela lady from Beauxbatons.
It is undeniable that the girl who is suspected to have Veela blood is indeed more beautiful than the two of them based on her appearance.
"My intuition tells me that she is not a good girl. Maybe you should stay away from her." Kathleen showed a strange smile to Albert: "So as not to follow the footsteps of the unlucky Wagadu student, although
There is no evidence, but I think no matter how hot the African continent is, it won’t burn people’s brains out.”
"She is right, witches of Veela descent are very talented in charm magic, and most boys can't resist it." Isobel agreed with Kathleen's words.
The two of them didn't have the slightest fondness for the girl who was more beautiful than them, especially after the other party did such a bad thing, their sense of her became even worse.
Professor Slughorn was actually very curious about Kathleen's identity, and even more curious about their relationship.
Having said that, Mr. Anderson is really popular with girls.
"The game is almost over, don't you have to comfort your students?" Isobel's words meant to drive them away.
Just now, a student from Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry messed up the potion by adding the wrong ingredients while brewing it, and had to give up the competition.
Cases like this are actually not uncommon here.
"He doesn't need my comfort."
Katherine actually didn't care much about the outcome of this game, or she thought that Albert would most likely win the final championship and take away the golden crucible.
That man is very powerful.
Katherine asked someone to investigate Albert's affairs. When she received a pile of magazines and books, she felt quite subtle.
There are various signs that Albert has long been far ahead of the students participating in the competition in the field of potions. It is not difficult to see this from the competition just now, and there are people he knows even on the referee's bench.
People, you have to know that Albert is still underage, but he has already been recognized by more than one potion master.
"How is the research on beauty potions going?" Kathleen lowered her voice and asked about her relationship. "Or, you have been in love recently and forgot about it."
"There is no major breakthrough yet." Albert motioned for Isobel to explain the current progress to this person.
"Essential oil extract?"
Katherine frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about the feasibility of this direction.
The whistle at the end of the game suddenly sounded, interrupting the three people's chat.
The pharmacists who were whispering in the referee's seat all fell silent. They got down from the referee's seat one after another and began to inspect the finished products of the elation potion brewed by the contestants. Some people scooped some with a spoon to observe the color, and even drank some.
Take small sips and taste carefully.
The players were very nervous and looked longingly at the whispering referees, like prisoners waiting for the final trial.
"86 points."
After some discussion, a referee raised a sign and announced the final score.
The red-haired boy from Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry couldn't help but frown slightly, obviously not very satisfied with the score.
A table, the referee only selects the best finished product for scoring.
In fact, this is very unfair to some players, but this is the current rules of the game.
Yes.
They changed the rules of the Potions Championship.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to encounter a situation like today's.
Everyone is not blind, so they can naturally see that the finished products of the two joy potions produced by Hogwarts School are of very high quality, even far superior to those produced by other schools.
This means that one school will be squeezed out, which would be embarrassing because it is unfair to other schools.
Fortunately, according to the rules of the competition, the judges did not score Isobel's work, so this embarrassment can be avoided.
As for Albert's elation potion, it naturally received high marks.
Even if a wizard wants to cause trouble for him, it cannot be denied that Albert finished it first, and the finished product is far better than the joy potion brewed by most contestants.
If such a finished product cannot win first place, it means that the fairness of the referee has been questioned.
Of course, the wizards who can serve as referees are all potion masters with reasonable moral integrity. Naturally, no one will be biased. Give them as many points as they deserve, otherwise you will have to become the laughing stock of everyone after dinner in the future.
As a result, Albert scored a high score of 99 points, which immediately shocked a lot of contestants like toads.
They all know that this is a score that cannot be shaken.
There is actually no difference between 99 points and a full score. It is just that a certain referee did not want the other party to get a full score, so he deliberately deducted a point.
The person with the second highest score is Guy Bernard from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
This guy got a high score of 94 points.
Albert was sure that this score was definitely boosted by the grandson, the president of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association, and it must be inflated.
Of course, it is undeniable that Guy Bernard has shown a very high standard.
Without Albert, he would have probably stole the show in the first round. Unfortunately, he met Albert and was crushed ruthlessly and inhumanely.
As for the Veela lady, her potion skills are not bad either. In fact, Alice is considered to be at the normal level for most players participating in the Potion Championship.
Unfortunately, when I encountered a few cheating dogs, I didn't even have the slightest strength to resist, so they were bulldozed and ruthlessly eliminated.
The third place was the girl from Kastrobuše, the one with whom Albert had chatted about "cuckolding" in the morning. Her pleasure potion was much worse than the two of them, and she only scored 89 points.
The fourth one belongs to the red-haired boy from Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is said that he is of Scottish descent and has a somewhat hot temper. The guy is staring at Albert with his heart full of envy and jealousy.
The high score of 99 points and the two beautiful girls beside him made Albert a lot of hatred in front of other players.
The fifth place was a certain handsome man from the magic house wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a golden running suit, who scored 85 points. The guy was followed by two girls, who were also secretly observing Albert, his competitor.
After all, 99 points is too dazzling, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the referee does not want to give full marks.
The sixth place was a blond girl from Kodos Dorez, with a slender figure and a sweet appearance. Unfortunately, beauty did not benefit the potion, and she only scored 81 points.
The other party was looking at Albert curiously, and even greeted the three of them generously despite their gazes.
This beautiful Russian girl actually overheard the conversation between several people just now and was interested in the youth potion they mentioned.
Well, any beautiful girl will be interested in potions that can keep her appearance beautiful.
Who makes the girls there age very quickly?
Valeria naturally hopes to preserve her appearance, otherwise she will start to age in a few years.
However, in the eyes of others, this student from Kodosdorez was obviously attracted to Albert.
Hate value 1
Hate value 1
…
The seventh place went to a pudgy girl from Durmstrang College. This school, which is famous for black magic, obviously does not have any advantage in potions, scoring 78 points.
The two unlucky guys who were infatuated with Miss Veela were also ruthlessly abandoned by Miss Veela after they were eliminated cleanly.
No matter how you look at it, Albert is still the best, but it's a pity that he has three beautiful girls there, and they seem to be having a good time chatting with each other, so it's obvious that he has nothing to do with her.
In the end, of course, the students from Wagadu managed to score 68 points.
In fact, his potions were only barely up to standard, and a group of potions masters even got together to discuss whether to let the tall Wagadu student participate in the competition.
To be honest, having him ranked eighth is a travesty of Isobel, or a travesty of fairness.
With Isobel's level, she could definitely be ranked in the top three, but she was eliminated. In order to be fair, every school must have rules for individual participation.
"It's really fair!" Kathleen looked at Isobel and asked, "Are you angry? You should have been in the top three."
"not angry?"
"Why?"
"I can't win the championship anyway, so participating in the first round is just for fun." Isobel said without thinking.
"Oh, that's right, the championship probably belongs to this guy anyway." Kathleen suddenly understood that Isobel's mentality would be so good, and others would probably be wronged like this.
well!
It is fair to other schools, but not necessarily fair to the participating students.
