Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 570: Evening class
For Hogwarts students, Filch's Lady Norris was attacked a long time ago. Their memory is similar to that of a fish, and if they can last for seven days, it is already quite remarkable.
"Hogwarts, A History of the School" in the school library is no longer sought after by the majority of students, and has returned to the bookshelf to eat ashes.
After all, the description of the Slytherin Chamber in that book is only a few words. Except for a few students who like to read books, very few people have enough patience to chew through this blunt book.
Miss Hermione Granger finally got her wish to borrow the book, but she was disappointed by the account of the Chamber of Secrets.
Of course, she is not the only one who is disappointed by this. In front of her, there are 23 classmates who have also borrowed this book who have had similar experiences. It was after the attack, and they have borrowed the book now. The number of students in this book averages more than four a day.
For this reason, Hermione also specifically asked Albert about the Chamber of Secrets, who shied the matter to Lockhart.
Time is like a gentle palm, gently smoothing everything.
Hogwarts has returned to its usual calm, and even the professors have reservations about whether Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets has been opened.
After all, a cat petrified doesn't prove anything.
Albert also felt that most of the professors did not pay much attention to this matter, and the only person who cared was probably Mrs. Norris's owner, Mr. Filch, the administrator!
This manager is still in the castle tirelessly looking for the prisoner who attacked his cat, and his temper is getting more and more irritable every day, which brings a lot of trouble to everyone, especially when it rains, he needs to withstand the heavy rain The Quidditch players who are training will always be troubled by the manager, who has been unable to find the prisoner, with the charge of "destroying the castle". The two sides have clashed more than once.
If the attack had the biggest impact, it was Ginny Weasley. I don't know if it was related to Tom Riddle's diary. The red-haired girl was tortured to the point of insanity. , it seems that she may collapse at any time, and she is already suspecting that she is the culprit, but because she dare not tell others at will, Tom's diary has become the object that she can frequently confide in, forming a bad circular chain.
Apart from Filch and Ginny, Albert, who knew the truth, was probably one of those most affected by the attack.
Ever since the attack, Albert's life has become busier. Due to the need to study the relationship between advanced shielding spells, he has even gone to various clubs less, and even attracted the attention and inquiries of several professors. But they were all put off by him using the excuse of being too busy.
Albert is indeed very busy, busy studying and dealing with basilisks, busy thinking about how to solve the problem, these things take a lot of his energy.
If there is any good news recently, it is probably that Bud has helped Albert get the compound potion. The old man doesn't care what Albert does with this stuff, and he generously gave a large bottle, which can be Leave him alone for a long time.
As for who?
Albert has made his choice between Lockhart and Malfoy, and the poor professor has succeeded in winning the new role.
No way, who makes every Defence Against the Dark Arts professor suspicious?
At that time, he can also perform some indescribable tests on the diary in the capacity of a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Let's be honest, Albert's conscience wouldn't hurt if Lockhart took the blame.
He himself is a relatively cold-blooded guy. Except for a few people who are more important, the life and death of others have nothing to do with him.
At this moment, the room of Requirement was enveloped by a warm orange-red light. Albert was sitting by the burning fireplace, drinking a cup of hot milk tea, and occasionally glanced at the mirror on the small round table next to him. He was waiting for a meeting with someone. people get in touch again.
After the hour hand on the pocket watch finally passed eight o'clock, the old man's soft call finally came from the double-sided mirror, and Nico's face appeared in the mirror.
"Good evening, Mr. Nicole."
Albert put down his teacup and greeted the old man in the mirror with a smile.
Next, it's time for Nico's lectures and Albert's time for solving puzzles.
It's just that this time Albert first asked his doubts and the problems he encountered in learning advanced shielding spells.
Nico patiently listened to Albert's remarks, and could see that Albert's use of shielding spells was very skilled, and he was on the verge of advanced use.
Nico has a high level of achievement in this area, and after listening to it, he slowly talks about the advanced usage of the shielding spell.
Use it for yourself or others. It is a normal use of shielding spells. The stronger the spell, the more you can cover up your existence, making yourself easy to be ignored by everyone and won't be tracked and found by people using the spell.
If Albert wants to block the lock of the Tracing Charm, he can do it by using a strong enough shielding spell on himself, which is simple and rude, but the consequence is that he will never receive any more letters from owls.
The other is to use for a certain area, so that people who enter that area cannot be tracked. The difficulty is slightly higher, but it is also a relatively common use of shielding spells, which is used in Nico's residence.
The last one is to use it on someone alone, that is, to block someone alone. It is a relatively advanced usage, and the difficulty is directly increased by several times. After the release is successful, the targeted person can ignore their existence, even if they use Neither the tracking spell nor the owl can find themselves, while others are unaffected.
Albert proposed to use shielding to create magical props that can shield their own existence, and only the second method can be used.
As for the fact that the magic items he made can't block the lock of the Tracing Charm well, a large part of the reason is that the magic items he made are not strong enough.
The elderly wizard also specifically explained to him his use of spells. Although he couldn't watch the other party use it himself, he could understand Albert's advanced use of shielding spells only by seeing that the experience of shielding spells was slowly improving. Learn more.
The exchange was fairly easy, they were like sitting in front of the computer on a video call, except that Albert needed to be distracted and take notes.
The two chatted for about two hours before it ended.
Before the communication ended, Nicole told Albert that the refining of the elixir of immortality had been completed, and the quantity of the elixir was enough to last for several years.
As for the Philosopher's Stone ~IndoMTL.com~ has been completely destroyed with the help of Dumbledore.
Albert actually felt that destroying the Philosopher's Stone was a waste. After all, it was Nicole May's lifelong effort. It may be that he does not have the courage and heart of Nico, but Albert still respects their decision.
"By the way, Dumbledore hasn't solved the basilisk problem yet?" Nicole suddenly asked in the double-sided mirror.
"No, Dumbledore probably didn't find the location of the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, or wanted to catch the heir." Albert was stunned and shook his head.
He couldn't guess the headmaster's thoughts. Dumbledore was really powerful, but he was only one person after all. He didn't know the direction of the plot, and there was no system to help him. To be able to do it to that extent was actually very powerful. .
"Perhaps, you should find time to talk to Dumbledore about this," Nicole suggested. He didn't want anything wrong with Albert, especially knowing that the so-called heir to Slytherin liked to find Muggle wizards.
"I will," Albert added inwardly, "but not yet."
Fifty years ago, the Chamber of Secrets was opened, when Dumbledore taught Transfiguration at Hogwarts, and Hagrid was the ultimate scapegoat, Albert believes Dumbledore wanted to Catch the culprit, but after all he has no evidence and can't do anything.
The attack on Mrs Norris once again attracted the attention of the Headmaster, who now just needs to be patient and sooner or later the so-called heir to Slytherin will be revealed.
Perhaps, Dumbledore didn't know the saying "If you walk by the river, you don't have wet shoes." But he obviously knew it, and he was more patient than anyone else.
