Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1018 Albert's Secret

   "Did you tell them about the Room of Requirement?"

  As soon as Katrina sat down in the empty seat next to her, she stared at Albert with complaining eyes.

   Few people knew of the existence of the Room of Requirement at first, and no one came to **** it when it was in use, but since the members of the Defense Association knew of the existence of the Room of Requirement, it was often occupied by others.

   "Fred told Potter." Albert closed the thick book, looked at the completed "reading madman" task prompt, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  The **** mission is finally done.

  Honestly speaking, the rewards for this mission are a bit tricky, and the panel skills given are too random, so Albert really didn't have much expectations for it. But after all, it was a task that had been done for several years, and Albert always panicked if he didn't complete it.

  After the completion, I really feel that the whole person is in a good mood and has a sense of accomplishment.

  He no longer needs to spend a lot of time in the library to continue reading books.

   When Albert closed the book and was about to return it, he found that Katrina was still staring at him.

   "What's wrong?" Albert asked suspiciously.

  Katrina didn't speak. She didn't believe that the Weasley Brothers would leak the news about the Room of Requirement to others without notifying Albert.

  After all, where is the secret stronghold of the few of them, this matter must have been approved by Albert.

   "Nothing!" The red-haired girl sighed, and said suddenly, "Would you mind giving me a copy of your latest book, I think it's called "Guide to Survival."

   "Oh, of course it's okay." Albert raised his eyebrows slightly, and readily agreed, "I'll let Dobby send it to you."

   "I really don't know what you are thinking." Katrina felt that the establishment of the Defense Association had something to do with Albert.

"They have to learn to resist, and then they will have the courage to stand up and resist." When Albert was about to return the book, he seemed to think of something, and took out a note from the non-marking stretch bag and handed it to Katrina, "This is a black book. The key points of the magic defense exam, after you master the knowledge points in it, we will continue the class."

   "Isobel's notes?"

  Katrina took the note, recognized her sister's handwriting at a glance, and looked up at Albert.

   "Yes, the ones marked on it are the key points." After Albert finished speaking, he walked towards the counter of the library, preparing to return the books he had just finished reading.

   "What a perfunctory guy," Katrina muttered.

  She put away Isobel's notes. With this thing at hand, the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam next summer will be much easier. Although she felt that she could get good grades even if she didn't read this notebook, but... the girl still hopes that she can graduate from school with excellent grades.

  Although she also knows that this report card may not be useful, she has already been far behind Albert and Isobel in many aspects. Katrina does not want her N. E． w． Ts grades are too different from theirs, that is the last trace of stubbornness in her heart.

Looking at the back of Albert's departure, Katrina looked back and took out a letter from her pocket. It was a letter from a friend on the other side of the ocean. She has been keeping in touch with them and sharing the development of beauty potions. schedule.

  When Katrina opened the letter and read the contents, the expression on her face froze for a moment, and she raised her head to look at Albert's leaving back, frowning slightly.

  Albert didn't know what Katrina saw in the letter. After he left the library, he went straight back to the Gryffindor dormitory, ready to take the "reading maniac" quest.

  Before accepting the task, Albert was considering whether to use Felicity Elixir. Although that thing could not bring him substantial benefits, it could always provide some comfort.

  Although he is a European, although he always claims to be a lucky one, Albert never considers himself very lucky.

  The only problem is that I have used Felicia a lot this year. Although they are used separately and the dosage is very small, they should be avoided as much as possible.

  After hesitating again and again, Albert finally didn't use the Felicity Elixir because he didn't have much left.

   Time to show real luck!

   Albert received the task directly.

   Then, start flipping through the skills panel, looking for new rewards you've earned.

  Albert actually seldom browses the panel, because there are too many skills in the skill panel, there is no automatic search, and sometimes it is inconvenient to add some, so you have to find it yourself.

  He took out his small notebook and began to compare the above skills. Only by comparing this thing can Albert be sure what new skills he has acquired.

  After half an hour of comparison, Albert found two new third-level skills.

  As for why it is certain that this is the reward of "Reading Maniac"?

  Because after acquiring new skills, it is impossible to rise to level three in a short time.

  The two extra third-level skills are the psychedelic spell and the elimination spell.

   The psychedelic spell is a spell similar to a love potion. Lockhart once said that Professor Flitwick is proficient in psychedelic magic.

Albert carefully checked the effect of the spell, and found that it was useless. The psychedelic spell was basically a spell version of the love potion, and its effect was similar to that of the love potion. love.

  The only advantage is probably offspring, and there may not be a loveless thing like Tom Riddle.

  Albert actually didn't know if it would, anyway, it wasn't recorded on the panel.

  If the psychedelic spell can increase the goodwill of both parties, the situation will be much better, but unfortunately there is no such spell at all, even the Gregory flattery potion can only make the user obsessed.

  As for the other elimination spell, it is actually a general-purpose counter-spell. Its effect is to eliminate the effects of the spell. There are actually many similar counter-curses to Albert.

   As for which one is easy to use, Albert can't tell, but he can only say that each has its own use.

For example, Mantra Stop has little effect on people who planted the stun spell, but the Elimination Curse can awaken people, but it is not very effective on some spells. Before further development and excavation, it can only be regarded as a good anti-spell. .

  As for the third spell, it was probably a spell that Sui had mastered before, so Albert didn't pay attention to it. He was already very satisfied with getting two new spells.

  After stuffing the notebook back into the cabinet, Albert took out a box from the cabinet and prepared to go to the Room of Requirement to pack things.

Since the members of the Defense Society knew about the existence of the Room of Requirement, it was no longer safe there, and Albert felt that it was necessary to take away the things placed in the Room of Requirement, lest someone accidentally break in, God knows what would happen thing.

   On the way to the Room of Requirement, Albert ran into an acquaintance.

   "Are you going to use the Response Room?" Albert asked after looking around to make sure there was no one around.

   "Albert, you gave me a big jump." Hermione put her hands on her chest, took a deep breath and said.

"Sorry, I thought you could hear footsteps, don't you mind letting me use it first?" Albert smiled gently: "I'm about to graduate from school, so I'm going to tidy up the things I put here take away."

   "Oh, of course no problem." Hermione casually picked up a topic, "Fred said you found a way to enter the Room of Requirement."

"Well, Fred and George were forced to hide inside by Filch during their night tour. Later, I found a way to enter the Room of Requirement based on their memories." Albert passed the wall three times and opened the Room of Requirement. Behind the door, he lifted his foot and walked in.

"here it is…"

Hermione also followed Albert into the Room of Requirement, and she found that it was a private room with carpets on the floor, soft yellow lights on the walls of the room, sofas, windows, heavy curtains, and a bed. It looks like someone's room.

"The Room of Requirement is very mysterious, and I occasionally rest here." Albert opened the box, turned his head to Hermione, who was observing the room, and said, "I won't take the furniture here. If you find a boyfriend in the future, You can also bring him here for a date, the Room of Requirement is the best dating place in the school, no one will come to disturb your date, and you can even ask the house elf to prepare a romantic candlelight dinner for you."

   "Do you date here often?"

   "That's right." Albert waved his wand, and all the things he put here flew towards Albert and were put into the opened box.

   “That was a long time ago, though,” he recalls.

   "A long time ago?" Hermione was a little puzzled.

   "Isobel has graduated for many years." Albert reminded with a smile, "This became my private study later. Fred and George also occasionally use some of the records here."

"It's a great place, it's really suitable for a date." Hermione suddenly understood why Albert came to pack her things. She came to the window, opened the curtains and found that there were two large windows behind the curtains, and it was falling outside. It was pouring rain, Hermione closed the curtains, sat down on the sofa, looked at Albert who was tidying up his things, chatted with him occasionally, and sometimes glanced and looked at the whole room, and her eyes fell on the bed.

  After packing up his things, Albert waved his wand lightly, and saw a door in the corner of the room. Inside the door was a narrow room with a large cabinet.

   "This is?" Hermione watched curiously as Albert moved the cabinet out of the room.

   "The disappearing cabinet can connect two places, allowing people to leave here immediately." Albert waved his wand and moved the disappearing cabinet into another suitcase.

   "You used it to leave Hogwarts?" Hermione guessed the reason, no wonder she heard that Albert sometimes disappeared.

   "Yes, it's not easy to leave Hogwarts quietly, but you can always find other ways." After packing up everything in the room, Albert signaled Hermione to follow him and leave.

   Albert then re-entered the Room of Requirement.

   This time, Hermione found herself in a room with many windows. There were many flower pots in the room, and various plants were planted in the flower pots.

   "Could it be..."

"Yes, this is a greenhouse. We got some things from the school greenhouse to grow here. You probably don't know that there are many plants in the school that are rarely seen outside. When Fred and George were making those magical candies, they also I need to pick some raw materials from here. The house elves will help me water and fertilize them regularly." Albert signaled Hermione not to get too close, some plants are very dangerous, and Albert will always treat them very carefully them.

"this…"

  Hermione couldn't speak out in surprise, she had no idea that Albert did so many things in school, and many things should be illegal, but Hermione pursed her lips, and finally said nothing.

   "As long as it is not discovered, it is not illegal." Albert laughed at himself. "This is the law of the Ministry of Magic. I just use it."

Albert opened another layer of the box, took Hermione back for a distance, raised his wand and waved towards the flowerpots in the garden, letting those flowerpots with various plants fly into the box. Burt heaved a sigh of relief after casting a spell to lock the box.

  No way, there are many dangerous plants in there, so we have to be careful, so as not to capsize in the gutter anytime.

   "I think Sirius said something like that," Hermione muttered.

   "Let's go!"

  Albert took the box and left the Room of Requirement. When they entered again, Hermione found that they had come to a room similar to a potion classroom.

She walked to the test bench next to her and picked up a test tube with an A3 attached to it from the shelf. There were many similar test tubes or crystal bottles in the cabinet next to it. This place should be used by Albert to brew potions. place.

"I remember when I was in the second grade, I used to cook compound potions in the girls' bathroom on the second floor." Thinking of this, Hermione couldn't help laughing, "If there was such a good place back then, we wouldn't have to fix it The sky is nestled in the bathroom."

   "When you become a cat."

   "Yeah, I made a mistake at the time, it was a bad memory." Hermione picked up a test tube containing a pink potion and asked Albert, "What is this?"

"The most primitive version of the beauty potion is not very effective, but I think girls will like it. If you want, you can take away all the beauty potions in the cabinet." Albert reminded with a smile, " The ones sealed with sealing wax inside should still be usable."

   "Beauty potion?" Hermione knew what a beauty potion was, but she was not interested in that kind of potion, because the so-called beauty potion could not make herself beautiful, but a beautiful person.

"It's not the same as what you think. The thing in your hand is actually used to clean the face. It was inspired by Muggle facial cleanser. Regular use is really effective and can make the skin more delicate." Albert laughed He squeezed his cheeks and said, "I'm actually using it too. The latest improved beauty potion works pretty well."

   "You invented it?" Hermione was surprised, she knew exactly how popular this thing in her hands would be with girls.

   "Probably." Albert said casually, "However, the beauty potions here are all the results of Isobel's improvement, and the girls are very persistent and passionate about making themselves beautiful."

   "I can understand her mood very well." Hermione whispered.

  Albert only took away part of the potion, all the equipment and medicinal materials, and left the rest here, because most potions cannot be stored for a long time if they are not strictly preserved.

"these are?"

  Vomiting, dizziness, nosebleed, diarrhea, fever, laughing wildly... Hermione saw a labeled medicine bottle on a certain cabinet, and the expression on her face suddenly became weird.

   "The raw materials Fred and George used to make quick-acting class skipping candy." Albert said casually.

   "Quick-acting skipping class sugar?"

   "It's a bit similar to the intelligence-enhancing candy I gave you last time, but it has different effects."

   Albert finally put the potion ingredients in the cabinet in front of Hermione into the box, and was about to leave.

   "Don't you want all these things?" Hermione asked, pointing to the items in another cabinet.

   "No more." Albert said.

   "These are all magic items!" Hermione recognized what was on it, and there were more defensive bracelets and defensive amulets inside.

   "They are all invalid, and they are no longer usable." After packing up his things, Albert left in no hurry, and checked the entire laboratory again to see if he had left anything here.

   "Is this a newsletter bookmark?"

   "That's right, the original communication bookmark is like this." Albert introduced, "The principle is actually very simple, it is the changing spell. It's just that students who don't know how to use the changing spell can't use it."

   "How did you make the bookmark for the newsletter later?" Hermione asked curiously.

   "That involves the advanced use of the transformation spell." Albert did not hide it, because there are very few wizards who can reach that level, and it is difficult for him alone to make new progress.

"I think the Defense Association also needs a tool to deliver messages." Hermione once thought about asking Albert for a way to create a communication bookmark to solve the problem of communication between DA members, but she found that it was not enough to achieve the level of communication bookmarks. not easy.

"There are many ways to use the Changing Charm, and you can use it in newspapers." Albert gave Hermione some ideas, "Anyway, you only need to use it to pass the party time, and you don't need it to communicate intelligence."

   "You're right, I originally planned to make them into magic gold coins." Hermione briefly talked about her plan.

   "You have a good idea. Umbridge will definitely not recognize her. Her magical attainments are average."
