Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 317: Book of Bronze

After the holidays, the weather is getting brighter and warmer every day. Finally, everyone couldn't bear the temptation to leave the heavy homework and leave the library to hang out on the lawn to relieve the pressure of study.

Albert had just returned from Hagrid's hut. There was no movement in the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid told him three times how he shot the werewolf Yorman in the knee three times and successfully captured the man.

Unfortunately, the Ministry of Magic was unwilling to pay the bounty for the hapless werewolf on the grounds that the werewolf Yorman was not offered a bounty by the Ministry of Magic. Hagrid himself didn't mind, but Albert looked down on the actions of the Ministry of Magic.

Albert returned to the hall, and at a glance, he saw Fred and George sitting there playing wizard cards, and there were several spectators around them. After two knockout rounds, the number of sorcerer card enthusiasts has grown.

Of course, this has something to do with the twins using brand new wizard cards, and the crowd looking to borrow them to play a game.

Lee Jordan flipped through today's Prophet newspaper, and when he saw Albert coming, he put down the newspaper and greeted him.

“How is it?”

"Everyone is still looking for Professor Smith all over the world." Lee Jordan couldn't help but sigh: "No one knows where he went. The bounty in the newspaper has increased again, as long as the Smith family can be found. People, or provide useful information, I will give 1000 Galleons as a reward, I really want this money!"

"There is nothing missing in a dream."

Albert took over the Daily Prophet from Lee Jordan, read the news on the front page carefully, and shook his head, "Rita Skeeter thinks it's a Hogwarts problem, that woman is to blame When it comes to Headmaster Dumbledore, is she going crazy trying to be famous?"

"Dad said that reporter likes to make up news," Fred interjected suddenly.

"Originally, I thought that Professor Smith would be found soon." George threw down the card and muttered: "As a result, there is no news at all, and Professor Smith seems to have disappeared out of thin air."

"What do you think?" Angelina took over George's wizard deck, ready to play a game with Shanna.

"Some people say that Professor Smith may have been killed or kidnapped, so he disappeared inexplicably." Albert hesitated, "I think this is more likely."

"Hey, you don't have to curse Professor Smith like that!" Fred was speechless, Albert's rude mouth was really annoying.

Professor Smith isn't really dead, is he?

"I just said the most likely thing!" Albert shook his head and said, "A wizard as powerful as Professor Smith cannot disappear without warning, and there is no reason to do so, the biggest Maybe he was kidnapped, or already dead, otherwise, what do you say he was hiding for?"

Everyone around was silent, because Albert made a lot of sense, and this matter is still full of weirdness. Why Professor Smith left Hogwarts in such a hurry, and where he went, no one knows.

"I thought you had a good relationship with Professor Smith."

"It's a good relationship, and I've been following it all the time."

"Where are you going?" Lee Jordan asked when he saw Albert put down the newspaper and got up to leave.

"Go to Professor Broad and see if there is any new news from him." Albert got up and prepared to go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.

Of course, what I said just now was purely an excuse.

A few minutes later, Albert knocks on the wooden door of the Defence Against the Dark Arts office.

Professor Broad opened the door and motioned Albert to go inside.

"You're here, you're more patient than I thought. What do you want to drink, milk tea?" Professor Broad motioned Albert to sit down. The Defense Against the Dark Arts office had changed a lot.

"Mr. Mogg said someone would explain it to us." Albert sat down opposite Professor Broad, stirred the milk tea with a spoon, and looked at Professor Broad.

"Yes. However, it's not suitable here." Professor Broad made a booing gesture, took a bag of Galleons from his pocket and put it in front of Albert.

"Your spoils."

"More."

"The extra hundred Galleons were given to you by Gerber. Of course, Isobel also has a share. He is very sorry for that." Professor Broad pushed Galleons to Albert. , "Take it!"

"You knew it from the beginning?" Albert didn't say no, putting the purse into the shapeshifting lizard bag.

"Have a hunch!" Professor Broad said, "Mogg has been living in Hogsmeade."

"Mr. Mogg is late," Albert reminded.

"He's just going over to make sure you're alive." Professor Broad said calmly, "You know, there's something called a time-turner, and if necessary, Gerber will go back to the past and go straight to the source of the problem. , so you will be fine."

"It's rude." Albert raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought some things would be difficult to reverse completely even with the use of a time converter, and instead would drive people crazy."

"Of course not alone, but a group of people will do." Professor Broad interrupted: "Okay, we'd better not continue this topic, I have brought you something that you will definitely be interested in. ~IndoMTL.com~ said, Professor Broad placed a wooden box on the table containing a heavy rusted metal book.

"The Book of Bronze?" Albert asked curiously.

"Yes, this is the Book of Bronze in Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets." Professor Broad nodded in acknowledgement.

"You want me to put it back?"

"Yes."

"Why don't you let Mr. Mogg put it back?" Albert asked rhetorically, "He should have this ability."

"Who knows?" Professor Broad obviously didn't want to say.

"Can I flip through?" Albert asked again.

"Certainly." Professor Broad said: "It records the use of ancient Rune magic. Mog has seen it, and maybe you can understand it. However, I suggest you put it back. Watch slowly."

"This thing is too bulky." Albert's eyes fell on the wooden box.

"I know you still have a lot of doubts, but now is not a good time to talk about it. After the holiday, you can stay with me for a few days, and I will tell you these things slowly."

"Can I give up? I gave the opportunity to Isobel." Albert suddenly said.

"Don't jump to conclusions in such a hurry, and you are still in the investigation stage." Professor Broad winked at Albert and said, "We will eventually have a way to get you to agree, I promise."

"Wild Smith's Legacy?"

"You'll know then, and you'll be surprised." Professor Broad smiled meaningfully. "I was taken aback too."

"You think I'll pass?" Albert raised his eyebrows.

Professor Broad just smiled, not ready to answer Albert's question.
