Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 279: Secret

The two returned to the castle, quietly entering the Room of Requirement without disturbing the students.

Albert pretends he doesn't know anything, but thanks to the help of the elixir, his acting is excellent.

"Success!" Albert let out a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Professor Smith beside him, and smiled excitedly, "We succeeded professor, we succeeded."

"Yes, you succeeded!" There was a hint of relief in Professor Smith's tone. He reached out and patted Albert's shoulder and praised, "Let's go in together!"

Speaking, Professor Smith walked in first.

Professor Smith's reaction was not what Albert expected. He quickly looked around, as if looking for something, but was not disappointed by the loss of the bronze book placed here, as if he already knew what was in the secret room situation.

"Professor, there is nothing here." Albert looked around, looked at the writing on the wall, and pretended to be annoyed, "The books left by Ravenclaw were taken away directly, Greedy guys are really annoying."

Honestly, I was a little disappointed not to be able to double that bronze book.

By the way, Professor Broad said that if I could open the secret door of Ravenclaw's chamber...Albert suddenly thought of a possibility!

That book of bronze, shouldn't it be...

"Dumbledore really came here!" Professor Smith swiped his fingers across Dumbledore's handwriting, narrowed his eyes, and muttered, "But why didn't he tell me?"

"What's the matter, Professor?" Albert asked in a low voice, looking at Professor Smith's back.

"Nothing."

"That... Professor Smith, can I leave my name here too." Albert asked cautiously.

Like so-and-so visiting here, honestly, it's very unethical to do so.

However, Albert felt that he could leave some research results here for later generations to admire.

"This is your right." Professor Smith smiled at Albert, "Do you need me to help you?"

"No, that's not a problem for me." Albert began to find a space to engrave his name. After the engraving, he walked to Professor Smith's side, his eyes fell on a certain name, and he asked, pretending to be puzzled, "Is Will De Smith the ancestor of the Smith family?"

"I don't remember." Professor Smith shook his head. "However, I know there is a surname called Wild Smith!"

"Last name, Wild Smith?" Albert was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Is there such a surname?"

"Haven't you heard of it?" Professor Smith looked at Albert with a half-smile, and said softly, "This surname is very famous."

Albert felt a little uncomfortable when Professor Smith mentioned the name, and the other party looked at his eyes... um, Legilimency.

However, Professor Smith received no useful information.

"No!" Albert shook his head and said, his Occlumency is already very clever, and it is also related to Fuling, so he disguised himself very smoothly.

Actually, Albert had never heard of this surname.

"Many wizarding families in the magic world have their own secrets. Although some ancient families have disappeared in the long river of history, a large part of them are still passed down, and the Smith family is one of them." Professor Smith Explained to Albert, "However, some of these families have been very careful to hide themselves, so that others do not know their realities."

"Is it the Wild Smith family?" Albert asked suspiciously: "But isn't he from your family?"

"Well, I think it should have something to do with the Smith family." Professor Smith did not deny this, he continued, "However, I am not currently the first in line to the Smith family, and I am not sure about some things. Too clear."

"Professor, why are you telling me these things?" Albert asked suspiciously, vaguely feeling that it had something to do with the successor's problem. To be honest, Albert really didn't want to get involved in this property fight, which has always been brutal.

"Because you are also Wild Smith's candidate." Smith said this very directly, making Albert's eyes wide open in disbelief.

"What are you waiting for"

"Alternate."

"Alternate, what does this mean?" Albert continued to play stupid.

"It's a candidate for succession," explained Professor Smith.

"Me? Heir candidate' are you sure?" Albert raised a finger to himself, and said stunned, "But I'm just a Muggle wizard, my parents are ordinary people, and they don't know magic at all. Are you sure? Wild Smith's candidate is to choose a gifted magical genius, not his own family?"

"Magic genius?" Smith looked up and down Albert, nodded and said, "This is indeed a reason."

"Isobel is also a magical genius!" Albert reminded: "Besides, she is a pure-blood wizard herself, so she is more likely to be the candidate you mentioned. I heard that pure-blood wizards are very Pay attention to your own blood, and don't like a wizard of Muggle blood like me."

"Well, how do you say it!" Smith said softly, stroking the writing on the wall, "There must be a wizard in your family, no doubt about it!"

"Impossible." Albert and Professor Smith looked at each other and said very seriously, "My parents and grandparents are just ordinary people, and they don't know magic at all, I can be sure of that."

"I am very sure that you are an alternate, otherwise Mr. Broad would not easily provide you with convenience." Professor Smith did not care about the facts that Albert told, and he trusted his own judgment more.

"What does this have to do with Professor Broad." Albert suddenly understood why Professor Broad didn't like this one. No one would like a guy who wants to dig up his own secrets.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, you'll find out for yourself later!" Professor Smith interrupted Albert's question, "Let's continue talking about the topic just now."

"The topic just now?"

"For example, the Book of Bronze, and that surname." Professor Smith said

"Actually, I don't really want to know." Albert coughed lightly and explained, "The more you know, the more troublesome it will be."

"But you already know, don't you?" Professor Smith looked at Albert with a half-smile, "Originally, the book of bronze placed there was taken away by Will de Smith."

"Is the Bronze Book in your house now?" Albert's eyes widened, his hands clasped together, and he asked, "Can you let me borrow it."

"No, not at Smith's house. However, I have checked relevant records and found similar information." Professor Smith continued to bring the topic back to the issue of surnames: "Wilder Smith is the most mysterious person in the entire magical world. One of the family."

"I don't know, I haven't heard of Wild Smith." Albert hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Really?"

Albert really doesn't know.

"Floo fans." Professor Smith didn't bother to explain, and Ravenclaw's Book of Bronze really wasn't with him.

"This... Floo powder, I do know a little bit. It is said that no one knows how to make Floo powder!" Albert felt that Professor Smith had revealed the tip of the iceberg of inheritance for himself.

"The inventor of Floo powder is called Ignatia Wildsmith." Professor Smith solved the mystery of the surname.

"The production of floo powder is strictly controlled, and there is only one licensed production in the UK. The company is based in Diagon Alley, but it is just an empty shell." Professor Smith began to give Albert Popular science about Floo powder.

"There has never been a shortage of Floo powder, nor has anyone else been able to make it. Its price hasn't changed in a hundred years, it's always been 2 scoops."

"So, you're saying that I might inherit a lot of wealth from Floo fans and the Wild Smith family?" Albert thought he might have guessed part of the answer.

To be honest, Floo Fan's patent is good, but it will definitely come with a lot of trouble, and, compared to the trouble caused by Floo Fan, Albert doesn't care much about the wealth of the Wild Smith family.

After all, money is such a thing, as long as you master the method of making money, you can make it while lying down.

"I don't know this, actually." Professor Smith is also half-knowledgeable about the actual situation, and he has collected a lot of information through hard work.

"However, Isobel is also one of the candidates."

"So...Wild Smith's heir is based on talent, not blood?" Albert's eyes widened, off topic.

"It must be related by blood, but it's hard to tell if you are close."

"Isobel is actually my cousin?"

"I thought you would care more about Floo fans." Professor Smith felt that Albert was a little tired of talking. He could see that Albert was not interested in these things, nor did he want to know.

"Well, I'm curious about one thing. Floo powder should have been invented for hundreds of years. Why hasn't anyone really cracked it?"

"This? It is said that someone made Floo powder. However, it has probably been silenced by the Wildsmith family! After all, if it was you, the formula for Floo powder would definitely not leak out! "

"What he did, he was able to create Floo fans. He must be a talent. If I was asked, I would definitely coerce and lure the other party into working for me." Albert said nonsense in a serious manner.

Professor Smith was speechless, silent for a moment, and continued: "Later, some people tried to make Floo powder by the method that was passed down, and the birth of "pseudo-floo", this powder contains runes The composition of snake venom tooth powder.”

"Is it successful?" Albert asked curiously.

"Failed, the powder is dangerous, it can burn people, and it can even blow people out of a chimney. St Mungo's healers treat at least one case of "pseudo-floo" injuries each year Patient." Professor Smith shook his head.

"That group of people is really stupid. This formula may be deliberately created by the Wild Smith family to fool others." Albert speculated maliciously.

Professor Smith: "..."

"Professor, I have a question!" Albert suddenly said.

"Why do I know so well?" Professor Smith asked rhetorically.

"Yes!"

"Because, I was also one of the candidates!" Professor Smith did not intend to hide this, "you should have guessed it."

"You gave up?" Albert asked.

"No, I'm supposed to be non-compliant and dropped."

"Why not? I think you are very good professor!" Albert is sincere. Smith is not very old and has achieved good results in many fields.

"I don't know." Professor Smith shook his head. "Anyway, it just doesn't match. I learned this information through some special means. Maybe, only after meeting and becoming the heir will I be told all the secrets!"

"That... I always feel that this matter is very troublesome, can't they just let Isobel inherit it." Albert said simply that he didn't want it.

"Well, don't you want it?" Professor Smith was very surprised.

"I don't want it, I have this, it's actually very easy to make money." Albert raised his hand and tapped his head, "Besides, I'm so good myself, why should I leave someone else's arrangement? Where's the road?"

Professor Smith was at a loss for words. He didn't expect Albert to look down on those wealth. Well, one thing he must admit ~IndoMTL.com~ Albert is really powerful, more powerful than most people.

Perhaps, this is the pride of genius!

Professor Smith suddenly became a little jealous of Albert, and reminded resentfully, "That's a lot of money! Hundreds of years of accumulation, this amount of wealth is unimaginable!"

"I don't want it!" Albert shook his head and said, "Whoever wants to inherit, let him go. Anyway, I'm not greedy for other people's money. If I take things that don't belong to me, I will always cause unnecessary trouble. , although I like Galleon, I've never been a greedy person."

"Hey, I think I know why Professor Broad is optimistic about you." Professor Smith couldn't help but sigh, "If you want me, I'm also optimistic about you."

"I'll be embarrassed if you praise me like that." Albert continued, "I heard that the professor is very familiar with the Isobel family, can you tell them about it and say I'm giving up that alternate candidate? The identity of the author, let his family borrow ancient books to read."

"You should go to Ravenclaw." Professor Smith whispered.

"I think Gryffindor is pretty good too. People shouldn't discriminate against others because of the Academy." Albert said seriously.

Professor Smith was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't think there is much chance. Think again, don't rush to make a decision!"

"No no, I think it's better for me to give up!" Albert was determined, he really didn't want to get involved in this matter.

Professor Smith in front of him still seems to want to be the so-called heir, wait, shouldn't he want to kill himself and Isobel?

Probably not!

The two sides have no grudges.

Or, you can't get it if you ask for it, so...Professor Smith holds a grudge?

Albert feels he may be getting closer to the truth.
