Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 128: Text with magic

Professor Broad is a funny old man. Albert was looking forward to this invitation. Just as he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, the door of the Defence Against the Dark Arts office opened automatically.

Albert's hand froze in place. He knew that this was Professor Broad's invitation, so he reached out and gently pushed the door open and walked into the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.

Professor Broad has prepared cakes and drinks.

And, of course, a lined up wizard chess game.

"Wait a moment." Professor Broad sat at his desk, staring at some parchment in front of him, not knowing what he was busy with.

Albert didn't bother the other party, sat quietly on the sofa, got himself a cake, and ate it on his own.

Ten minutes later, Professor Broad finally finished his business, sat in front of Albert, smiled and said to him, "I heard Professor McGonagall say about you, she feels for you Proud."

"The "Transfiguration of the Day" thing?" Albert asked with some doubts.

"Yes." Professor Broad nodded, "For your age, that's amazing."

Albert was silent, suddenly not knowing what to say. In fact, he really didn't care much about this issue.

Professor Broad noticed the stun and silence that flashed on Albert's face, and asked suspiciously, "You don't seem to care much?"

"Eh?" Albert nodded awkwardly. In fact, he wanted to say, that fame was not as beneficial to him as Garen.

Hogwarts students publish papers in Transfiguration Today with no royalties. Of course, the relationship has always been mutually beneficial.

Only students who have won the Best and Most Promising Rookie Award will "Transfiguration" give a symbolic Galleon award. award this title.

"White moves first." Professor Broad did not discuss this topic, but made a gesture of invitation to Albert.

Albert immediately focused and began to carefully test Professor Broad's strength. He is very aware of his own situation, the level of wizard chess is only one level, and it is still far from the second level.

This level is good for ordinary people, but it is a lot worse for international wizard chess champions.

Actually, when facing the attack, Professor Broad deliberately released water, but Albert still failed to block the opponent's offensive, and he was killed by Professor Broad's knight after holding on for less than ten minutes.

Although he lost the chess game, Albert benefited a lot from playing chess with Professor Broad. After the second game of chess started, Albert slowed down his speed of chess to avoid some small mistakes in the first game. The two sides fought for 20 minutes, and in the end, the queen of the other side was checkmate.

"I lost again." Albert said with emotion, "Is this the level of an international wizard chess champion? The level of wizard chess games must be very high."

"No, you're wrong, the wizards who participate in the International Wizarding Chess tournament are of average level." Professor Broad took a sip of his milk tea and explained gently: "In fact, very few actually train. Wizards in this area, they may be a bit high-level, but that's it. In two years, you should be able to reach that level."

"You mean... the players participating in the International Wizarding Chess tournament are all amateurs?" Albert was a little stunned.

In fact, it is said that at the age of seventeen, many aspects begin to peak, and Albert once suspected that this is the reason for adulthood at seventeen.

"Yes, there's never been a so-called professional or amateur. However, every game is like this, and when you are an adult, you may also be able to participate in the international wizarding game." Professor Broad said with a smile: " Although the prize money is not much, the championship title is quite good."

"Well." Albert replied absentmindedly, in fact, he didn't care much about whether he was famous or not.

"Famous, and sometimes useful." Professor Broad smiled meaningfully.

Why does he sound like... well, it's weird.

"What were you doing just now?" Albert changed the subject, "Of course, if it's inconvenient..."

"Study the ancient runes." Professor Broad didn't mind at all, "Bathceda just helped me sort it out. However, I haven't touched these things for a long time, and it's quite laborious to study them now. ."

"Ancient Rune?" Albert raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that it was an elective course for the third grade."

"Yes, a third-year elective." Professor Broad nodded again and again.

Albert suddenly said: "It is said that in the era of the Big Four, this type of Rune was used to cast spells."

"Yes, there is such a saying." Professor Broad looked at Albert, "Some people once speculated that the ancient wizards would be so powerful that they were inseparable from the ancient Rune."

"It is indeed... powerful," Albert whispered: "The ancient magic of Hogwarts can last for thousands of years, which is a miracle in my opinion. Although it may be disrespectful to say this, I doubt that Deng Could Principal Bledow do the same?"

"Haha, Dumbledore." Professor Broad put down the teacup in his hand, "He is widely recognized as the most powerful wizard of this century, and he has also sat well in the position of the chief wizard of Wizengamore. It's been decades!"

"It is rumored that You-Know-Who is afraid of him." Professor Broad continued: "Well, do you know who You-Know-Who is?"

"Yes." Albert nodded, "I read his story in the book, it is said that the savior Harry Potter defeated the Dark Lord."

"This was a much-discussed matter. At that time, a lot of people thought You-Know-Who would be defeated by Dumbledore, only to lose to..." Professor Broad realized that the topic should end there. His tone of tone ~IndoMTL.com~ brought the topic back again: "There are many legends in ancient rune, it is said that this is a kind of magic word, using it to recite spells can enhance the magic power of wizards. Well, Dumbledore uses them too, and he's an expert in it himself."

"Professor." Albert suddenly said.

"What's the matter, Mr. Anderson." Professor Broad raised his head suspiciously.

"I have also taught myself rune script." Albert hesitated for a while, but asked, "But I didn't feel the mysterious power of this ancient rune as you said."

"You taught yourself." Professor Broad was surprised.

"Yes." Albert said. "Just over the Christmas holidays this year, I taught myself runes and could barely read them, but...the truth is, they're not as magical as you say."

"After all, it's just a legend..." Professor Broad said softly, "However, did you really bring me a lot of surprises?"

"Surprise?" Albert frowned slightly.

"It's nothing." Professor Broad smiled, "Actually, many wizards have studied ancient rune, but at their level, they can usually only achieve common understanding and simple application. The real experts in this field, In fact, there are not many anymore."

Albert was silent.

It took a long time to say "no one digs deep"

"Dig deep" Professor Broad shook his head and said, "For most people, this kind of ancient text is good as long as you can understand it. After all, no one will use it, so it will take time and effort to dig. What about its secret?"

"Can school..."

Professor Broad interrupted, "Hogwarts will offer ancient rune classes, just because they don't want future generations to see these ancient writings."
