Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 354: Have a lot of fun

"Everyone wants to be a great wizard like Headmaster Dumbledore."

Albert gently stirred the black tea in front of him with a spoon, took a sip, his eyes lit up, and couldn't help but praise: "Your craftsmanship is awesome, this is the best black tea I've ever had. If If you can, please don't have to teach me how to make such a delicious cup of black tea."

If it was a previous life, Albert would really not be able to drink black tea as good or bad, but in this life, he has been drinking black tea for several years.

All I can say is that, as expected of someone who has lived for hundreds of years, the ratio of black tea, milk and sugar is really good.

"Of course." Perenal smiled, "I tell you, Albus doesn't like drinking my tea very much. He always says my tea tastes too bland."

"Everyone has their own favorite taste. I heard that Headmaster Dumbledore prefers sweets." Albert tasted another buckwheat biscuit baked on a plate, which was equally good, with a strong aroma of wheat , the more you eat, the more fragrant it is, but it is not sweet.

For those who like sweets, it's not delicious!

As the two old men spoke, they recalled their first meeting with Dumbledore.

Similar to Albert, they met the LeMay couple through the introduction of other wizards. Unlike Albert, Dumbledore had been in correspondence for several years before meeting the LeMays.

Dumbledore graduated from Hogwarts School and began to travel the world through France, meeting the LeMays for the first time through an acquaintance.

When the two sides met for the first time, they had a lot of common topics and had a good chat.

Afterwards, Dumbledore spent several months in France, mostly discussing magic and alchemy with Nicole.

"At that time, we found other uses for dragon blood together and successfully created a stain remover."

"Headmaster Dumbledore discovered twelve uses for dragon blood, which I recited in my book."

"How should I say, this statement is actually wrong." Nico sipped his lipstick tea and recalled, "When Albus found other uses for dragon blood, some uses of dragon blood had already been invented by other wizards. It's just that the exchange of information in that era was not as convenient as it is now, and not many people knew about it."

"Later, Albus published a paper on the uses of dragon blood, which led most wizards to agree that Albus had discovered twelve uses for dragon blood."

"I still remember Dumbledore clarifying this," Perenal said. "It's just that word of mouth has become like that, and no one really cares if the dragon's blood is used for him or not. invented."

"I remember Ivan Dillonsby once claiming that when Dumbledore 'borrowed' his paper, he had discovered eight uses for dragon blood," Harris said with a smile. From an incident more than ten years ago, "In fact, Ivan Dillons was a step behind, thinking that Dumbledore stole his achievements, so he slandered Dumbledore everywhere. That guy's reputation is not very good. Well, I remember he also claimed to have cracked the recipe for Floo powder and blew himself out of the fireplace when he tried it."

Listening to several people recalling the past, Albert felt that he had really learned a lot. Although he didn't care about Dumbledore's past, he didn't mind listening to it as a story. Sometimes it was really interesting, especially the dusty past.

The truth of history is often not necessarily the information recorded on parchment.

After all, that's what the victors wrote.

"Forgive my nagging, it's always like this when I'm older." Nicole said to Albert with a smile while drinking the cold black tea.

"No, these stories are very interesting." Albert shook his head to show that he didn't mind. "My grandfather also liked to tell me stories from the past."

"By the way, can you tell me about the fourteenth century, what kind of era was it?" He continued, "I heard that ancient magic was more prosperous than it is now, and a lot of magic and alchemy were used in this era. The times are gone."

"It's not that it's gone." Nicole shook his head, "it's that it doesn't fit."

"Not suitable?" Albert pondered what he meant.

"The fourteenth century, that era, was called the Dark Middle Ages," the old man recalled. "To a certain extent, this statement is actually true. It was a very ignorant and very dark age. Wizards Although they have their own rules and constraints, most of them are relatively unscrupulous, and they will not hide like the wizards now, so they create a very prosperous illusion."

"Knowledge was very precious in that era, and many wizards would hide their knowledge. Because they rarely communicated with each other, wizards could only try to develop and master some magic, and most of these magics were messy. Spells. Magic is invaluable when you don't know much about it."

"However, most of the spells have been eliminated by time."

"Sure enough, the so-called prosperity is just self-prosperity." Albert murmured.

"Yes, it is undeniable that some magics have indeed been lost, but many magics are still left after the test of time." Nico explained softly, "It's just that this part of the knowledge is well preserved and needs to be It takes a lot of contact to know these things.”

"For ease of administration?" Albert murmured.

"Yes, for ease of administration."

It wasn't Niko who answered him, but Mr. Harrisis, who had been silent since just now.

"Maybe I shouldn't be talking about this."

"Few people see these things clearly," Nicole said. "However, there are two sides to everything, and it's definitely more peaceful now than before."

"But it is undeniable that it was an era when even Muggles were very keen on alchemy." Nico changed the topic, "It was indeed the most prosperous era of alchemy, and many theories, origins and studies were It was born in that era."

"For alchemy?"

"Yes, for alchemy, for getting rich." Perenal said with a smile, "At least, most of the Muggles at the time were indeed for this purpose."

"Only you have succeeded." Albert said with a smile.

"The Philosopher's Stone doesn't make gold ~IndoMTL.com~ Nicole shook his head in denial.

"But you are immortal."

"It wasn't gold, and we didn't realize it until later." Nicole's tone was helpless. "It's like gold made with a Transfiguration or Duplication Charm."

"Of course, Muggles can't tell."

Recognizing that Nico seems reluctant to talk about the Philosopher's Stone, Albert takes the conversation in a different direction.

He occasionally asks questions about alchemy, and he also takes the protective bracelet he made to ask Niko for advice, hoping that the other party can give him some good advice.

Nico really understands a lot of things, because the alchemy of that era covered a lot of things. Although he may not be proficient when he was young, he may even only be able to dabble, but after living for a long time, he should understand also understand.

Albert's situation was different. He was only a thirteen-year-old.

Nico vaguely realizes that the boy in front of him has extraordinary talents during his communication with Albert.

Magic is an apt term to describe it.

Actually, Nico knows something about the Wildsmith family, and he has dealt with more than one "Wildersmith".

The topics the two talked about next involved many fields, and Albert gave his own opinions based on his own understanding.

Even if he didn't check it, he knew that the experience of the panel skills was increasing rapidly.

The chat continued on and off for several hours, and it wasn't until noon that the two sides stopped to prepare for lunch, and Albert was enjoying French food when he realized that Harrisis had quietly left.

"You can stay here temporarily, Mr. Harrisis will come and pick you up in a few days," Perenal said to Albert.
