Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 444 Cognitive bias

  Since mastering Voldemort's spell-casting technique, Albert has been spending a lot of time and energy on practice, trying to master this spell-casting technique thoroughly.

  Isobel also learned this new spell-casting technique with Albert, and the learning speed was astonishingly fast, which made Albert wonder which of the two of them was cheating.

"you are great."

Seeing Isobel skillfully using Voldemort's spell-casting techniques, Albert's expression was very complicated. His learning progress was naturally faster than Isobel's, but if there was no panel bonus, he would have been overwhelmed by the other party. A few blocks away.

   "The truly powerful person is you." Isobel kissed Albert's forehead like a comforting child, and said softly, "I'm just imitating you."

  Actually, Isobel was also confused, not understanding why Albert showed such a complicated expression.

In her eyes, Albert is worthy of being a genius among geniuses. He has even begun to create his own spell-casting techniques. Being able to explain them to her in detail does not mean that this set of spell-casting techniques is very mature. up.

  Can you be immature?

  Voldemort himself didn't know how many years he had been using it, and he was gradually perfecting it in practice. It was not comparable to the record left when he won the Barnabus Finkley Award for Excellent Spellcasting Technique.

   "Most wizards don't pay much attention to spellcasting techniques, and don't even have the concept." Albert turned the slippers on the table into a rabbit, "I can't see the spellcasting techniques of other professors either."

"It's normal if you don't see it. Unless you deliberately learn, observe and study, the spell-casting techniques of ordinary wizards are more derived from the usual spell-casting habits." Isobel tapped the rabbit lightly with his magic wand, shaking it Become a kitten.

   "Only wizards who really specialize in magic will spend time and energy paying attention to this issue?" Albert probably understood what Isobel meant.

  Do ordinary people pay special attention to it?

   No, not even the professors in the school.

"Professor Flitwick's spell-casting technique is very clever, and he should have invented it himself. Last year's Rowena Smith's spell-casting technique was obtained from the records of the Barnabus Finkley Award for Excellent Spellcasting Technique. From what I learned, it’s not surprising that the Smith family has related records.” Isobel picked up the kitten and pinched its soft cheeks, “However, Rowena’s set should also be improved and suitable for his own use.”

   "You actually saw it?" Albert admired Isobel's vision.

   "I didn't see it. I knew it because I asked Rowena a similar question."

   "Then how did you see my spellcasting technique?"

   Albert became even more curious.

   "You were too deliberate at that time, and wizards who have learned about spellcasting techniques can naturally feel it." Isobel suddenly laughed, "However, I was more casually asking at the time."

   "Oh, it turned out to be like this."

Albert also thought about whether he would be directly targeted by Dumbledore if he used Voldemort's spell-casting technique. Now it seems that as long as he masters the spell-casting technique proficiently, even if he uses it in front of the principal, he should not be caught. Special attention.

   After all, no one would associate Albert with Voldemort.

   Moreover, the probability of him casting a spell in front of the principal may not be too high.

   "What are you thinking?"

   "It's nothing." Albert couldn't help but sigh, "The more you study magic, the more complicated it will be."

   "There are not many people who have such an idea." Isobel said softly, "Most wizards only learn superficial magic, and I am no exception. There are very few wizards who study magic in depth."

   Albert suddenly fell silent, feeling that he was thinking too much. He is not a wizard who likes to delve into the essence of magic.

  …

   In the past few days, Albert has been running to Hagrid very frequently, just to make sure whether Quirrell sent Hagrid a dragon egg, and whether he entered the Forbidden Forest to hunt unicorns.

   While the two were drinking tea and chatting, Hagrid told him about Harry's reminder.

   "Well, if it were me, I would probably say the same thing."

  After hearing Hagrid's words, Albert couldn't help laughing, "Did you tell Dumbledore about this?"

   "No, I don't think Dumbledore should be bothered with this kind of thing." Hagrid shook his head.

"Actually, I think you can talk to Dumbledore about this matter, he will definitely pay attention to Potter's affairs." Albert suggested with a smile, "After all, in the second Quidditch match this year, Deng Principal Bullido is here too, isn't he?"

   "You also think Professor Snape is suspicious?"

   "I don't like Snape." Albert took a sip of his tea and looked at Tom who was in the corner who didn't know what to do. "Anyway, I think he is really suspicious."

  Hagrid opened his mouth, staring blankly at Albert who was drinking tea, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"You should also know that Snape doesn't look like a good person at first glance." Albert said with a smile after seeing Hagrid's expression, "I doubt him because some of his own actions really look suspicious. "

   "I think Albert is right. Snape is not a good person at first sight." Harry, who had just walked into Hagrid's cabin, nodded repeatedly in support of Albert's point of view.

   "Sorry, I couldn't help it." Ron couldn't help laughing, and after noticing that everyone was looking over, he quickly explained, "Albert's words are so incisive, I completely agree."

   "Hagrid, I suspect that Snape is forcing Professor Quirrell to tell how to pass the level of protecting the Sorcerer's Stone." Harry saw Hagrid's deep frown, and told him what happened a while ago.

   "Harry, do you know what you're talking about?"

Hagrid didn't agree with Harry's slander of the professor. Snape had served at Hogwarts for several years. If he was really untrustworthy, how could Dumbledore allow him to stay and teach at Hogwarts? ?

  Hagrid did not trust Snape, but he believed in Dumbledore.

   "Of course I know." Harry said dryly.

   "Don't worry Harry, no one can steal the Sorcerer's Stone, let alone pass Lu Wei." Hagrid almost patted his chest to promise.

Speaking of Lu Wei, Hagrid couldn't help but secretly glanced at Albert. He actually told Dumbledore about it, but the headmaster said that Albert would not think about the Sorcerer's Stone, so Hagrid didn't. Too concerned about this matter.

  Albert also noticed Hagrid's gaze on him, but he didn't pay much attention to it, because he saw his own Tom take out a fat mouse from the corner.

   "Tom, don't eat those messy things." Albert stepped forward to stop him.

   "Doesn't your cat eat mice?" Hermione asked confused.

   "It has never eaten a mouse." After Albert took out his wand to stun the mouse, he fished his own Tom from the ground.

   "It's really fat." Ron muttered softly, "I didn't expect such a size to catch mice."

"Hagrid." Harry wanted to bring the topic back, "Didn't you say that Gringotts was safe before, but in the end a dark wizard broke into Gringotts, and even the goblins couldn't catch that dark wizard. Maybe Hogwarts is really safe, but Gringotts can be hacked, why do you think Hogwarts can't?"
