Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 454 Hermione's Discovery

   "ALFG is you, right!"

   When the two walked out of the hall and reached a corner where there was no one there, Hermione couldn't wait to say, "Or, it should be you, right?"

   "When did you find out?"

   Albert looked at the girl in front of him expressionlessly, and suddenly asked with a smile.

  He has no sophistry or concealment at all.

  Hearing Albert's answer, Hermione's face became very complicated. She probably didn't expect Albert to admit it so simply.

   "Is there something on my face?" Albert asked back.

   "A few days ago, I saw you received a thick letter." Hermione recalled.

   "I didn't expect you to pay special attention to my affairs." Albert raised his eyebrows and teased.

   "Accidentally discovered." Hermione said dryly.

"Then what?"

   "The sender is Mr. Serra Harrisis." Hermione took a deep breath and replied.

"So that's it. Mr. Harrisis is indeed quite famous!" Albert nodded. He understood why Hermione showed that expression, as if he accidentally learned that a certain celebrity was actually a friend of a friend he knew well. A sense of unreality.

"Last time, when Harry, Ron, and I were looking for Nicole Flamel, we checked "Contemporary Famous Magicians", "Major Discoveries of Modern Magic" and "Research on the Development of Modern Witchcraft". His name is everywhere in the book." Hermione deliberately lowered her voice and added: "Mr. Harrisis is proficient in alchemy."

   "Well, it makes sense, what else?" Albert continued to nod, looking at Hermione with interest, ready to listen to what the other party said next.

"I heard from others that you often receive a lot of thick letters." Hermione took a deep breath, and said her guess: "You must know many famous wizards and keep good correspondence with them. "

   "Yes, I do know many famous wizards, and I keep in touch with them by letter." Albert noticed the slightly expectant look in Hermione's pupils, and admitted it straightforwardly.

   "Then...why can't you know Nicole Flamel?" Hermione paused suddenly after finishing speaking, looked at Albert who took out his wand and waved it, and asked suspiciously, "What did you do?"

"A simple spell can effectively prevent others from eavesdropping on our conversation." Albert put away his wand and explained to Hermione with a smile, "I don't like too many people knowing about me, I miss you Should be able to understand."

  Hermione nodded half understanding.

   "You continue." Albert made a gesture of invitation, which made Hermione a little embarrassed.

   She adjusted her mood before continuing.

"On the formula of the French version of the Sorcerer's Stone, there are similar abbreviations ALFG on the treasure maps Harry found last time. We used to think that ALFG should be the abbreviation of a certain name. We guessed that ALFG Who is it?"

   "I also suspect that you are ALFG, but your initials are A.A."

   "Why doubt me?" Albert asked curiously.

   "Because you seem to enjoy...mystery."

  Hermione spoke very softly, but Albert's hearing was very good.

   It's just that Hermione's words made him a little embarrassed.

  Are you really a person who likes to pretend to be mysterious and put on airs?

   Well, Albert admits that he is a little bit, but all those so-called prophecies have come true.

   Isn't it?

"Later, I suddenly figured it out. You still have three friends. If you put their initials together, it would mean ALFG." Hermione lowered her head, not looking at the expression on Albert's face. , uttered all her conjectures like a cannonball, and after she finished speaking, she raised her head and stared into Albert's eyes, wondering if her analysis was correct.

   "Yes, you are indeed right."

"Fred, George, and Lee Jordan once suggested that some interesting things should be left in the school, so we made a lot of treasure maps and buried some small things as treasures." Albert said calmly: "Of course, I don't deny that there is indeed a teasing nature in it. The formula of the Philosopher's Stone is actually not uncommon in the magic world. As long as you have been in contact with alchemy, you will understand that there are actually many such things. The stone formulas are all fake."

"So, you deliberately made a French version of the formula for the Philosopher's Stone, because Nicole Flamel is French?" Hermione seemed to think of something, and took out the formula for the Philosopher's Stone from her pocket, which was Albert's last time to Hermione,

   "You're angry."

"I'm not angry."

   "That's anger." Albert said.

   "I just feel like a fool being played around." Hermione pursed her lips tightly.

"I never thought that Dumbledore would hide that stone in Hogwarts, and you guys found the formula for the Sorcerer's Stone." Albert spread his hands, shrugged helplessly at Hermione, and said It was just an accident.

  Yes, it was really just an accident.

   "Then why did you tell us the answer again?" Hermione asked again, expressing her doubts.

"Because I found that you, Harry, and Ron were all staring at that stone." Albert looked at Hermione and said, "I don't know what you want to do, but with Gryffindor's character, even if I don't Let me tell you, you will find the answer in the end, and I told you in advance to prevent you from asking around for news about the Sorcerer's Stone and causing more trouble."

"Gryffindor College has never been short of guys who like to make trouble everywhere." Albert looked directly into Hermione's eyes and I asked, "Okay, Miss Granger, can you tell me what you want to do after asking about it?" what?"

   "We're just curious."

   "This excuse is too bad." Albert laughed at himself, "I can say ten in one breath."

   "We didn't want to steal that stone." Hermione hesitated, and said honestly, "We were just worried that that stone would be stolen."

She looked around and made sure no one was eavesdropping, then whispered to Albert, "Harry thought Snape was after the Philosopher's Stone, and he came across Snape forcing Professor Quirrell to tell the truth about protecting the Philosopher's Stone." organ."

  At this moment, Albert suddenly wanted to laugh.

   It is undeniable that this scapegoat is indeed suitable to be pinned on Snape's head.

  Especially when it came out of Hermione's mouth, it was so funny.

   "Harry's guess is very reasonable." Albert nodded seriously, agreeing with Harry's point of view, "Snape is indeed not a good person."

   "Actually, you know Nicole Flamel, right?" Hermione asked suddenly, "That's why you know so much about the Philosopher's Stone."

"Yes, I do know Nicole Flamel and have contact with him." Albert directly denied the second half of the sentence, "But the reason for knowing the Sorcerer's Stone is that every alchemist hopes that he can successfully create magic Shi, I am no exception."

   "Don't tell anyone else about this, okay?" He deliberately lowered his voice and said to Hermione: "Not even Harry Potter, can you keep this secret for me?"

   "Since it's a secret, why did you tell me?" Hermione asked puzzled.

   "I think you can keep this secret for me as promised." Albert showed a warm smile.

  Of course, this is pure nonsense to fool people.

  If Hermione is lying and is not going to help him keep the secret, Albert can tell it, and then use the Amnesia Charm to make Hermione forget this memory.

   And, it's not a big secret either.

  Of course, if Hermione can help him keep the secret, the relationship between the two parties will go further, which will help Albert gain more favor from Hermione in the future. He also wanted to see if he could get a mission from the three of them. After all, they were also the trio of saviors. As the protagonists of this world, it was worth making good friends.

   "Well, I won't tell anyone, I promise." Hermione nodded seriously, promising to keep Albert a secret.
