Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 574 Guide

  The Gryffindor team defeated the Slytherin team again, defeating the Nimbus 2001, which the opponent spent a lot of Galleons to buy. This incident is undoubtedly exciting news for the members and students of the Gryffindor team.

   To this end, everyone held a short banquet in the common room to celebrate this great victory. Unfortunately, however, Harry Potter, the Gryffindor Quidditch hero who helped them win, was injured and hospitalized and was unable to attend the banquet.

  The banquet lasted for half an hour. After everyone finished eating the food Fred and George brought from the kitchen, they began to clean up the garbage left by the banquet.

  In the corner of the lounge, Lee Jordan was playing cards with Fred who had just taken a hot bath, and next to him were Ron and Hermione, who were arguing endlessly about Lockhart taking Harry's bone.

After George helped Wood clean up the garbage, he came here to watch them play cards, then turned to look at Hermione and Ron who were arguing, and said casually, "Madam Pomfrey thinks that the professor who took out Harry's bones is too incompetent, And I lost my temper a little bit because of it.”

   "Everyone makes mistakes," argued Hermione. She looked at Albert who was walking this way, hoping to get his support.

   "You can send some candy to Potter, he is not in a good situation, and the process of growing bones in his arms will be painful."

  Albert didn't answer Hermione's words, it would be unwise to discuss her admirers with girls. After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze elsewhere and landed on the boy who was flipping through the photos, "Creevey, right?"

   "Is there something wrong? Mr. Anderson." After the boy named Creevey noticed that it was Albert who was speaking, he subconsciously used honorifics.

   "If you don't want to be hated by Potter, you'd better apologize to him." Albert looked at the stack of photos and reminded, "Potter definitely doesn't want you to take these photos."

   "Does Harry really hate me?" Colin Creevey froze and looked at Albert uneasily.

   "Give me the photo!" Albert said.

  The latter hesitated for a moment, but obediently handed over the photos to Albert.

   Hermione and Ron, who were still arguing, and even the trio who were playing cards came together. After seeing Harry's embarrassed appearance in the photo, Ron finally couldn't help but speak first.

   "You purposely photographed Harry in a state of embarrassment to make him look ugly, and Harry will give you a good look, the devil."

   "Sorry, I just..."

   "It's useless for you to say sorry to us here..." Albert took out a few photos from the pile, compared them carefully, and handed three of them to Lee Jordan.

   "What are you doing with these photos?" Hermione asked puzzled.

"Make them into wizard cards!" Lee Jordan put the photos away with a smile, and said to Creevey who was looking at him eagerly, "When the wizard cards are ready, I will remember to give you one. "

   "I don't think Harry would like this." Hermione frowned and reminded that Albert's actions really made her speechless. This guy was clearly teaching Creevey just now, but in the end...

   "This is the victory that Harry Potter worked hard for." Albert said solemnly, "We will record it on the wizard card, and the name is..."

   "A difficult victory." Lee Jordan said quickly.

   "That's a good name, and I'll leave the making of wizard cards to you."

   "Are you going on a date again?" Lee Jordan raised his eyebrows.

   "It's not a date. I have something to do here, so I'll go first. See you later." Albert nodded, turned around and prepared to leave. He planned to go to the Room of Requirement first to make final preparations for tonight's action.

  In any case, tonight must successfully control Riddle's diary.

  As soon as Albert left the common room, he heard hurried footsteps from behind.

   "What's the matter?" Albert stopped and looked at Hermione suspiciously.

   "Do you know compound potions?" Hermione looked around and asked after making sure there was no one around.

   "Compound potion?" Albert was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, it is a potion that can disguise a person as another person. Why do you ask this?"

   "That..." Hermione hesitated for a moment, and finally briefly explained to Albert the three of them' suspicion that Malfoy was the heir of Slytherin, and their plan.

After a longer silence, Albert nodded and said: "You are indeed quite reasonable. Many pure-blood wizards do intermarry. It is not surprising that Malfoy has Slytherin blood. The formula of the compound potion, I I do know that there are relevant records on the "Power Potion" in the restricted area."

   "We got a signed note from the Restricted Section from Professor Lockhart, but the book seems to be..."

   "Borrowed?" Albert said with a smile.

   "Yes, Mrs. Pince said that the book might have been stolen, because she couldn't find the record left by the borrower." Hermione felt depressed when she talked about it.

   "Oh... "Power Potion" was just... borrowed." Albert corrected, "After a while, it will be returned to the restricted area."

   "You borrowed it?" Hermione thought carefully about the meaning of these words, suddenly raised her head, and looked at Albert in astonishment.

"There are a lot of interesting books in the restricted section, but it is very troublesome to borrow the signatures of professors, so I will borrow them at night when I need them." Albert said without hesitation that he came from the restricted section. The matter of borrowing books.

  Hermione really didn't expect that Albert would admit directly that he took the book away.

"If you need it, I can give you the book for the time being, and return it to me after you use it up." Albert tilted his head towards Hermione and raised his index finger, making a hush motion, "However, this Remember to keep it a secret."

   "I will." Hermione nodded vigorously, promising.

   "Let's go, "Power Potion" is in the dormitory, I'll bring it to you."

   Albert turned and returned to his dormitory, and Hermione quickly followed.

This is Hermione's first time in Albert's dormitory, and the dormitory is no different from Harry's dormitory, the only difference is probably... Her eyes fell on the cat litter and the cat climbing frame, and she couldn't help asking: " Didn't you bring Tom to school?"

  Hermione suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Albert's cat in the whole semester.

   "No, this year is not suitable." Albert took out a book of some years from the drawer of the bedside table and handed it to Hermione.

  The latter took the book carefully, put it on the table and started flipping through it.

   "What kind of potion are you stealing... borrowing this book to refine?" Hermione couldn't help asking.

   "Felix Elixir." Albert didn't hide it, "I'm still researching it."

   "Felix Elixir?" Hermione flipped the pages of the book quickly, her eyes fell on the formula of Felicia Felicia, and she couldn't help but gasped, "This is definitely the most complicated potion I've ever seen."

"Yes, Felix Elixir is almost the most difficult potion of all potions, but its effect is also very good, and it can bring people good luck." Albert said with a smile, "You want to configure The difficulty of compound medicine is not low, and it also takes a lot of time to brew, so you have to be mentally prepared."

   "It will take a month!" Hermione said in disbelief after browsing the formula of the compound potion.

"Time is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that the compound potion itself is a prohibited trade item, so the horn of the bicorn and the snake skin of the African tree snake in the ingredients are also listed as D-class prohibited trade items by the Ministry of Magic. You can’t get these two raw materials through normal channels, you can consider it on the black market, but the price will be expensive, but I remember that Harry is very rich. Or…” Albert’s tone suddenly showed a strange look on his face Smiling: "You can also consider breaking into Snape's private warehouse. There must be these two raw materials in there, but you need to take some risks."

  Hermione was silent, he didn't expect Albert to suggest that she break into Snape's private warehouse, if she was caught...

  However, if they really wanted to prepare compound potions, they might not have too many choices. She had to find time to talk to Harry about it.
