Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 260 Uncle Ma

This gathering is not only for academic exchanges, but also to strengthen the relationship between everyone and expand contacts. To some extent, it is an enhanced version of Professor Horace Slughorn's Slug Club in the Half-Blood Prince. .

  Professor Broad asked the house elf to prepare a sumptuous dinner, and Albert was also fortunate enough to taste the delicacies of other countries. Obviously more than one house elf was busy in the kitchen, and a lot of food was served on the table.

  Of course, when it comes to European cuisine, most people probably think of France and Italy. In fact, most of the food on the table comes from these two countries.

  At this small banquet, Albert turned into a little transparent, ate delicious food in silence, and listened to everyone chatting about interesting things in the magic world.

  For example, some shady things about the election of the British Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge becoming the Minister of Magic is not an accident at all like it appears on the surface.

   Many people are optimistic that Barty Crouch will ascend to the position of Minister of Magic. However, in order to fight him, many wizards use the fact that his son Barty Jr. is a Death Eater to discredit him.

  Later, everyone knew that Dumbledore declined the invitation of the Minister of Magic, and finally got the position of Minister of Magic by Fudge, who had a good relationship with the pure-blood wizard.

   However, to discredit Barty Crouch, Fudge is one of them.

   "Mr. Anderson, what do you think of this matter?" Professor Broad looked at Albert who was eating.

After Albert put down his fork and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, he said calmly, "Barty Crouch is Barty Crouch, his son is his son, no matter what his son does, it cannot be wiped Take credit for what Barty Crouch once did."

   Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Professor Broad was probably a little surprised to get such an answer, but he was obviously satisfied.

"Of course, you can't expect everyone to have rational judgment. Most people are easily influenced by the outside world." Albert suddenly said, "If Harry Potter, who defeated the mysterious man, suddenly announces to everyone that the mysterious man is still alive, what will happen?"

What will happened?

   Everyone is sure to think their savior is crazy.

   "Don't mention this to others." Professor Brod kindly reminded, "People in the magic world cannot accept such a fact, they will only do their best to deny it."

   This was said to Albert, reminding him that there is no need to cause trouble for himself.

   "Obviously." Albert shrugged, and continued to bury his head in tasting delicacies he hadn't tried.

Adolf changed the topic quite appropriately, and talked about the recent bad news of Durmstrang College. The new headmaster, Igor Karkaroff, made the school's reputation even worse. Many parents of students put their own The child was picked up from school and transferred to Beauxbaton Academy of Magic.

  Nelson told everyone the latest news he got, because some students copied the Grindelwald logo on textbooks and clothes, trying to scare others with it, but those who lost loved ones because of Grindelwald taught them some lessons.

"I read about this school in the book. It is said that Durmstrang College is popular with black magic and does not accept Muggle wizards." Albert asked curiously, "By the way, what is Grindelwald's mark?" He asked knowingly.

   "Actually, that's not Grindelwald's mark, ignorant people would think that." Nelson drew a Deathly Hallows mark with his wand, which looked like a triangular eye with a vertical line in the middle of the pupil.

  He shook his head helplessly and said, "This mark comes from the legend of the three brothers, Mr. Anderson, have you heard of the legend of the three brothers?"

   "The legend of the three brothers in "The Tales of Beedle the Poet"?" Albert nodded to indicate that he had read it.

   "Yes, the triangle symbolizes the invisibility cloak, the circle symbolizes the resurrection stone, and the vertical symbolizes the wand." Adolf explained, "The legend of the three brothers is actually very famous in our circle. Everyone thinks that the legendary items are products of alchemy."

   "Why would Grindelwald use it as a marker?" Albert continued to ask.

"We think Grindelwald found the legendary item." Professor Brod explained, "Of course, this cannot be proven. There are many legends in the magic world, but some of them may deviate from the original facts, but Not without basis."

   "It's like the Philosopher's Stone that allows people to concoct the elixir of life?" Albert smiled, and didn't deny anything, because he knew more than others, and Grindelwald did get the Elder Wand.

  When everyone was talking about the list of prohibited trade recently released by the British Ministry of Magic,

  Claude recommended his kind and helpful friend Mr. Delacour to them. He is working for the magic garden and occasionally stops by as a raw material supplier, and said that if necessary, he can help everyone introduce.

  The magic garden is a good place. There are many rare magic plants in it, which are available in limited quantities.

  Of course, the most noteworthy thing about this Mr. Delacour is that he has a wife of Veela descent. His daughter is studying at the Beauxbaton Academy of Magic, which is also very good.

  Adolf even jokingly said that Albert's French is very good, and he can try to make a French pen pal.

  Before the banquet was about to end, everyone focused on Albert, and they were very surprised to learn that he was "Mabo".

   "What is Mabo?" Albert asked sideways.

"'Mabo' is an ancient name for wizards of Muggle descendants, and it is a kind of affectionate name." Mr. Smith did not care about the weirdness on everyone's faces, and explained to Albert, "In 1692, "International Wizards It was popular before the Federal Secrecy Act."

"Many people may have forgotten that before the implementation of the "International Confederation of Wizards' Secrecy Act", most wizards believed that Muggle-borns were much more talented than wizards from pure wizarding families." Professor Brod kindly reminded them. "Later, wizards began to no longer believe in Muggles, and pure-blood supremacy began to spread gradually, and this term was gradually abandoned by people."

   "Of course, bloodline discrimination does not exist here. Everyone pays more attention to wisdom and ability." Adolf said softly. He didn't deny Brod's words, but this was the status quo in the wizarding world.

  However, everyone present could see that Albert would not be excluded because of his identity, because he made friends with many famous wizards, and a large number of wizards would be willing to **** him.

   It cannot be said that most wizards pay attention to bloodlines, but in front of true geniuses, everything is not that important.

   After all, knowledge and ability are more worthy of respect.

  Since Albert will be invited here to attend the party, it has already explained a lot of problems.
