Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 39: The chicken or the egg

The second class for freshmen in Gryffindor is History of Magic, which is undoubtedly the most boring class at Hogwarts, bar none.

The History of Magic classroom is located on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle. Freshmen in Gryffindor will have twenty minutes after their first class.

However, because Albert and Professor Flitwick chatted for a long time, the four of them had no extra time to waste, so they had to hurry up to the History of Magic classroom.

When the four of them hurriedly arrived at the History of Magic classroom, the administrator Argus Filch had already come over to open the door ahead of time. After all, Professor Binns, who was a ghost, couldn't open the door for everyone.

Gryffindor's History of Magic is presented with Ravenclaw, and everyone sits in their seats before class chatting.

Albert ignored the playful twin brothers beside him, took out a box containing multi-flavored beans from his pocket, picked a blue bean and threw it into his mouth, chewing it and found that it was blueberry flavor.

"Good luck." Albert muttered, while he took out "History of Magic" from his schoolbag, he took out "Selected Curses of the Nineteenth Century" by the way, and with the help of the cover of reading, he flipped through his own List of skills.

After taking the Charms class, Albert finds he has acquired another skill: Charms Theory.

In Albert's memory, this basic skill was very useful, so he immediately upgraded the spell theory to level 1. He carefully recalled some of the extra knowledge of the magic spell theory in his head, and he couldn't help frowning. It seems that the effect of only upgrading by one level is not great.

What do you say?

His own magic theory has indeed improved, but Albert has the same feeling that most of the knowledge is not difficult to understand as long as it is broken, which is why he has the illusion of nothingness. .

While thinking about the knowledge of the Luminous Charm, Albert took the multi-flavored beans and threw them into his mouth, as if he were eating chocolate beans.

The next moment, he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and a hot taste escaped from his mouth.

Damn, the one I just ate was a chili-flavored multi-flavored bean. Albert was so hot that he swore that he would never eat this thing in a trance in the future.

"What's the matter with you?" Fred noticed Albert's change.

"Multi-flavored beans, pepper-flavored." Albert pointed to the small box on the table. The multi-flavored beans he bought on the train last time have not been eaten yet.

"Each bite is a great adventure." Fred laughed schadenfreudely, not forgetting to tease Albert about the Beanstalk slogan.

Albert glared fiercely at the guy in front of him, then took out a toffee from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth to ease the spicy taste, and handed the multi-flavored beans to Fred.

"Be very careful when you eat multi-flavored beans." Fred squeezed one and threw it into his mouth, chewing, "spinach flavored."

"Mine is strawberry," George announced happily.

"I eat this a lot..." Lee Jordan also came over and picked one and threw it into his mouth.

"Do you want multi-flavored beans?" Albert asked, shaking the box towards the others.

As soon as the voice fell, Li Jordan's voice came from beside him.

"It smells like rotten eggs, it's disgusting." The little black man's cheeks were almost contorted together, and he spit out the multi-flavored beans he was chewing on the ground.

A Ravenclaw girl next to him cast a disgusting look at Lee Jordan.

Aware of the other party's eyes, Li Jordan's face was a little embarrassed, and he scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Clean it up." Albert raised his wand, pointed to Lee Jordan's vomit, and threw a fruit candy at him.

"I'll never eat Domi Beans again," Lee Jordan swears.

"You've said that more than once," George teased. "He just ate another one, marmalade flavored.

After the Lee Jordan incident, everyone was close to Albert's little box of savory beans, and they didn't want to eat anything weird.

"What magic did you use just now." The Ravenclaw girl introduced herself: "My name is Katrina McDougall."

"Hello Katrina, I'm Albert Anderson." Albert put another piece of chocolate into his mouth, and the hot taste in his mouth gradually subsided after chewing, "It was a descaling spell just now. , a very practical magic."

"Most freshmen are not as good at magic as you are, even if they have family members who teach them in advance. And..." Katrina glanced at the "Selected Curse of the Nineteenth Century" that Albert was flipping through and said, "I bet the Sorting Hat has put you in the wrong house."

"There's nothing wrong with Gryffindor." Albert didn't pay attention to what he said: "And... I'm from a Muggle family."

"This is impossible. Only from a wizard's family, their family will teach magic knowledge in advance." The expression on Katrina's face was a little stunned.

"I heard... Entering the Ravenclaw's lounge, a question needs to be answered..." Albert diverted the topic stiffly, he didn't want to argue about his bloodline.

"Yes, you need to answer the question about the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker before you are allowed to enter the Ravenclaw common room." Katrina looked at Albert suspiciously and asked, "However, I'm very curious. , how did you find out about this? A lot of people don't know how to get into the restrooms of other colleges.

"Overheard a Ravenk student complain about not being able to answer questions ~IndoMTL.com~ being left outside the lounge or something." Albert rambling.

"Oh!" Katrina is still a little suspicious of Albert, after all, the chance of encountering such a thing is not large.

"Do you feel that Albert can chat with anyone." George, who was sitting next to him, muttered softly.

Fred nodded repeatedly, and Li Jordan agreed. He reached out and took out a multi-flavored bean from the box. This guy actually likes to eat multi-flavored beans.

Albert glared at the three of them, coughed lightly and asked, "Tell me about any interesting problems you have encountered?"

"Phoenix or fire, which comes first." Katrina picked a question she happened to know the answer to

"What do you think?" Albert turned his head to look at the twins

"I think the phoenix should come first?" Fred said.

"I think so too?" George immediately agreed.

"Why?" Li Jordan asked in confusion.

"Of course I guessed it!" The twins said in unison, their expressions of course amused everyone.

Albert couldn't help but laugh.

"What about you?" Katrina asked again.

"In the Muggle world, there is a similar problem." Albert did not answer the other party directly, and continued: "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

"What is this answer?" Katrina asked curiously. She thought she had guessed the answer.

"The chicken came first." Albert replied, and the answer was indeed different from what Katrina thought.

"Why?"

Albert explained: "How can there be an egg in the world for no reason?"

Katrina shook her head and said, "That's not enough."
