Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 221: 10 feet of confidence
"Have you seen these things?"
In the Defence Against the Dark Arts office on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle, Professor Rowena Smith looked at the parchment in his hand and looked up at Albert in surprise. The student, just by glancing at the ancient rune on the parchment he gave him, was able to give an answer immediately.
Even if Albert has made good achievements in ancient runes, Professor Smith does not think that the other party can translate it at the first time, the only possibility is that he knows or has seen it. After all, the relationship between Professor Broad and Albert is also very good. If the professor has shown something similar to Albert before, it would not be a strange thing for the other party to give a translation at the first sight. .
"I've seen it before." Albert simply admitted, "Professor Brod once asked me to help translate something similar, and the content basically hasn't changed much."
Professor Smith stared at the parchment and fell into silence. To be honest, he was embarrassed now, because with Albert's cleverness, he naturally saw that what he showed him was actually split from a large piece of ancient rune. It came out, and I didn't want the other party to know the content.
"I suggest you show me the whole content, so I can better translate it. Of course, if it's not convenient, then forget it!" In fact, Albert can guess the ancient runes Where did it come from? Even if Professor Smith is unwilling to share it, he will naturally be able to see it when he enters the treasure house of Ravenclaw knowledge, so Albert doesn't care too much whether Professor Smith is willing to share the records of these ancient runes with him.
"I'll sort them out in a few days, and I'll leave it to you." Professor Smith was silent for a moment, then made a quick decision. Although he has not weak attainments in ancient rune, but compared with Albert, is the gap really a bit big?
At least, Professor Smith looked at the secret room for a long time, but still could not fully understand the meaning of the ancient runes left on the walls.
"That's my honor." Albert smiled.
"Go and do your own business!" Professor Smith said to see off the guest.
Albert stood up and nodded at Professor Smith, then turned and left the Defence Against the Dark Arts office.
"Did Professor Smith come to Hogwarts for the Ravenclaw treasure trove of knowledge?" Albert murmured as he stood at the end of the corridor, looking out at the majestic rain.
"You said, when will this heavy rain stop?" Soon after, Fred's voice rang in his ear.
"Who knows?"
"If you miss this time, you probably won't have the chance to go into the woods again this year to look for beating toadstools." Lee Jordan looked in the direction of the Forbidden Forest, then turned to look at Albert, not just him, Weasley The brother was also looking at Albert.
"Don't look at me like that, I won't rush into the woods on such a rainy day." Albert peeled off the package, put a hard candy in his mouth, shrugged his shoulders and said, "So, you should give up. ."
After he looked around and determined that there was no one else, he continued: "It's time to get it from Greenhouse No. 3, or the pharmacy in Diagon Alley."
On a rainy day, going into the woods in the rain to look for something is definitely something you do when you have a problem with your brain. In this kind of weather, Albert would like to go back to the common room, sit by the fireplace, read a book, and enjoy leisure time rainy days, that is the day people should live.
"The common room is full of people now." George seemed to see through Albert's thoughts at a glance, and reminded with a smile.
Honestly, for a Quidditch player, this rain is nothing, after all, all Quidditch players train rain or shine.
But...speaking of which.
George suddenly looked at Albert with a strange look.
Does this guy... hate rain?
They used to suspect that the root cause of Albert's reluctance to become a full Quidditch player was... unwilling to go to the Quidditch pitch to train in rainy weather.
On rainy days, Albert prefers to stay by the fire and read a book.
"Then go to the auditorium, just finished this week's homework." Albert comforted casually: "Maybe, this is just a shower, and it will stop soon. Before the rain stops..."
Albert has regretted saying these words, because his words really came true, it was just a shower, the rain came and went quickly, about two o'clock in the afternoon , the rain stopped completely, and the sky began to clear.
Albert, who has just written half of his thesis, deserves to go out with the three of them to find the beating toadstool in the Forbidden Forest.
This mushroom is of special significance to the four people. In order to study it, the four people did not spend time and energy to inquire about the relevant information about the beating toadstool, and how to catch it and how to transform the beating toadstool. Galleon's research.
So, Fred and the others have paid so much ~IndoMTL.com~ that they don't want to give up this obsession easily.
Like last year's garlic planting, as long as it takes a little longer, it is estimated that this matter will soon be forgotten!
"Hagrid should be in his hunting lodge, but we'd better go around into the woods from the side." Fred mentioned his last entry into the Forbidden Forest, which was far away from Hagrid's hunting lodge. Easily detected by Hagrid.
"Don't think we're unprepared for anything," George said mysteriously. "We know of a few places where we might have a chance to find the bouncing toadstool."
"Remember the last time we entered the woods?" Fred continued, "The route we took..."
"You actually plan to use these nonsense to fool me? I followed you into the Forbidden Forest last time." Albert got a pair of rain boots for himself.
It had just rained, and the ground was wet and muddy. Albert didn't want to make a mess, so he pulled up the hood on his cloak to cover his head to prevent the remaining rain from the forest from spilling on his body and wetting his clothes.
"We'd better be back before five o'clock. Winter nights come very early." Albert glanced at the pocket watch in his hand and said to Fred, "There are still two and a half hours."
"There should be enough time, if we're lucky."
"Did you bring the elixirs," Fred asked in a low voice. This is the source of their self-confidence. Albert, who drank the Fuling agent, had a lot of luck, so he didn't need to worry about finding the beating toadstool.
"I brought it." Albert was quite helpless, and before he was unable to prepare the Fuling Elixir, he drank a little less.
"It probably only takes a two or three hour dose." Lee Jordan comforted.
Albert couldn't help rolling his eyes and taking a sip. How could he be so precise?
