Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 385: Do you want to make an appointment?
"Ha~"
Albert put down the book in his hand, covered a yawn with his hand, turned his head and looked at the corner of the lounge, where a group of students were whispering together and talking about something.
"What happened"
He turned his head and asked Lee Jordan, this guy just got close to the bulletin board and should know what was announced just now.
"First Hogsmeade Weekend." Lee Jordan, pointing to a notice on the board, said, "Mid-October."
"That's great." Fred said with a wink. "We're running out of stink bombs, so we just went to Zoke's to refill."
"Why do you always like to make trouble with Filch?" Shanna raised her eyebrows, who was pondering the translation of ancient Rune. "I know Filch isn't likable, but it's not necessary..."
"No no, Filch is the first to trouble us!" George interrupted.
Fred didn't bother to dwell on it, and changed the subject by saying, "Last time, we tried to sell the garlic cross to Professor Quirrell, but he seemed to think we were joking. At the time, I wondered, Quirrell. Isn't the professor afraid that vampires will come to trouble him?"
"You believe what he says?" Albert couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"Then why did he put garlic in the big scarf on his head, that smell is choking." The Weasley brothers still insist that the big scarf must be stuffed with garlic.
"Who knows!" Albert muttered. "Maybe there's some big secret inside."
"What's the big secret?" Fred asked curiously, he suddenly had a directness, Albert's guess might be true.
"How would I know, I just guessed." Albert shrugged.
"Or, let's fool Peeves into taking off Professor Quirrell's big scarf." George's eyes lit up and suggested. Of course, it's not easy to talk to Peeves, they need to prepare something interesting for each other.
Albert came up with the idea, and the relationship between the two is pretty good now, but every time they ask Peeves to do something, they have to spend money.
"Albert, help me see, do these translations mean this?" Angelina interrupted the conspiracy of several people and handed the parchment she just translated to Albert.
"Unfortunately...all wrong." Albert glanced at the translation on the parchment and gave the answer.
"Oh, I really don't know why I chose this course in the first place." Angelina regretted taking Ancient Rune, this course is not very friendly to most students.
"What about mine?"
Sanna pointed to her homework, which she had just translated through the Rune Dictionary.
For those weird and connected symbols, it is really difficult for beginners to understand, even if there is a "Rune Dictionary".
It's like learning a foreign language, sometimes it's confusing, and what's more, it's even harder to learn than a foreign language.
Initially, you just need to figure out what 0 to 9 stand for. Later, you need to translate a small rune of meanings through a dictionary and memorize the meaning of those words.
That's what this class is about, actually, it's to let you know what those weird symbols mean, and it's said that the content of the exam also examines these things.
The hardest part, however, is that a rune can often have several meanings, and you need to figure out the meaning of the sentence by connecting the symbols together.
That's right, this is what's called a translation, a scrutinized translation.
"Several words in these two sentences are wrongly translated." Albert pointed out the mistakes.
"Hmm."
Sanna leaned her head over, glanced at the mistakes Albert pointed out, and pondered the meaning of the symbols.
She didn't doubt Albert's judgment. She could talk with Professor Bathcida Babbling in Ancient Rune, and read a book of Ancient Rune as an ordinary book, but there was no Rune genius at all. Moisture, even as a teaching assistant for Professor Bathcida Babbling.
As for the homework of the ancient rune, it was naturally not difficult for Albert.
To be honest, the class taught by Bathcida Babling is the most boring class Albert has ever taken. It's as simple as someone teaching themselves Arabic numerals.
However, the ancient rune class is still required, and it cannot be skipped at will.
Professor Bathcida Babbling also knows Albert's level, but it's a pity that Hogwarts only repeats grades, but there is no such thing as skipping grades, so as long as Albert doesn't interfere with the class, he will be allowed to do it. its own business.
Except for the occasional occasion when Professor Bathyda Babbling would call Albert on stage and have a few ancient rune conversations with her, Albert was doing his own thing the rest of the time.
He found something interesting for himself, wrong in the book, yes, wrong in "An Easy Guide to Ancient Rune", in fact, it was nothing to find fault with.
The person who wrote the book is not someone like Albert who owns a panel. It is impossible for him to be without the slightest mistake. As long as he researches deeply, he can always find some mistakes. Albert will point out the error and comment next to it.
"By the way, how's your research on that thing?" Albert asked suddenly.
"No clue." George shook his head helplessly. "We're trying to figure out where to get the pus from Babo's tubers."
Not long ago, the twins wondered if they could make a profit after hearing about a student trying to get rid of pimples on their faces with drastic measures.
Fred and George don't take it for granted, so they asked Albert for his opinion. The latter also believes that women like beauty and won't be stingy with their Galleons in this regard. Producing this potion is sure to sell well and make a lot of money.
Actually, there is a similar beauty potion store in Diagon Alley.
Fred and George have no intention of vying for business with Mrs. Primpeniere. Their target group is school students, and the two are working on a potion that can effectively eliminate acne and pimples.
If the raw materials can be obtained, Albert is willing to provide technical and intellectual support.
He has already asked Professor Sprout how to formulate this potion, and when the time comes, as long as you invest some experience to upgrade and improve, it will come in handy.
Of course, Albert is willing to give support, and it is also related to his sister, who just happened to be a birthday present for Nia. Isobel may also use it, and it can be used to make money in the future, no matter how you look at it, it is quite cost-effective.
Fred and George are working on the idea of balbo tubers in the school's greenhouse No. 3, and are going to sneak over to get a little potion for Albert.
Of course, it can also be purchased directly from Slug Giggs Pharmacy in Diagon Alley. However, since there are ready-made ones in the school, Fred and George don't mind getting some of their own.
Lee Jordan doesn't pay much attention to this, he usually only focuses on wizard cards.
As for now, this guy is gossiping about another gossip: Someone else was almost bitten by the big dog in the corridor of the restricted area on the fourth floor.
"You're so brave. Last time, didn't that unlucky **** just come out of the school hospital?"
"I heard that it was Hufflepuff's student. He was frightened by the big dog and his legs were weak. Fortunately, Professor Qi Luo happened to pass by and used magic to pull the man out so that he was not injured."
"This is not very Hufflepuff's style." Albert raised his eyebrows.
If it's on impulse, he should be in Gryffindor!
Albert bent down and picked up Tom, who was cooking by the fireplace, and scratched the cat's ears. He could probably guess what was going on.
Is it the Imperius Curse?
Looks like this Professor Quirrell started looking for someone to try, trying to find a way to not defeat the three-headed dog?
How to say it?
Students kill themselves because of their curiosity, not once or twice anyway. As long as they don't cause too much trouble, they generally won't attract the attention of professors, and at most they will deduct more points.
Professor Quirrell did deduct 10 points from the Hufflepuff student as a warning.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering when will I finish the great feat of reading a hundred books?" Albert put Tom on the ground and continued to flip through the book in front of him.
"One hundred books?" Shanna raised her eyebrows. "I thought you had finished reading it."
"I've probably read about 45," says Albert, who has spent much less time reading since his sophomore year.
"I read the description of Hogsmeade from your copy of The Wizarding Monument ~IndoMTL.com~. It's a very interesting place. It is said that the headquarters of the Goblin Rebellion is there." Shan Na put aside the revised ancient rune homework and chatted with Albert about Hogsmeade.
"The headquarters of the Goblin Rebellion is at the Pig's Head Bar. It's a messy place and it's also very dirty. If you go, remember to bring yourself a glass." Albert said casually, he didn't like the Pig's Head Bar, but he didn't like it. Not Fausi didn't like him either. The **** didn't reply to him so far, even though Albert didn't expect the other party to reply to him.
"I heard it's the only place in the UK where there are no Muggles." Shanna wanted to talk to Albert about this topic, however, she didn't know how many times Albert and the twins sneaked past Well, there is nothing new anymore.
"You don't seem very interested?"
"Well, it's okay!" Albert shrugged at his roommates, "Three brooms and Honey Duke are more suitable."
He glanced at the newsletter bookmarks and sent a message to Isobel: Hogsmeade, an appointment?
It didn't take long for the bookmark to change color, Albert turned over and glanced, and the other party only replied: um!
Going to Hogsmeade next weekend and we all get together to talk about what to do first once in Hogsmeade.
"You seem to be very familiar with Hogsmeade, remember to introduce us." Shanna got a signal from everyone and gathered up her courage to say, "Let's go together then!"
"I'm familiar with it too, and I can introduce it to you too!" Li Jordan said with a smile.
"I have an appointment." Albert politely declined, "Let's let Li Jordan introduce you!"
The girls raised their eyebrows, looked at each other, nodded and reluctantly agreed.
