Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 884 Detecting the Wand

  Recently, Albert found that he seemed to have encountered a little trouble. The trouble came from the fact that he rejected Yanila's prom invitation a few days ago. Now no matter what class Albert is in, the other party will listen quietly. Yanila, who didn't wrap her face in a scarf, was not as glamorous as Fleur, but it still made it difficult for the boys in the class to concentrate in class. For this reason, Albert was forced to be in the last row of the classroom.

  Although the professors were somewhat dissatisfied with this, no professor would do such a rude thing as accusing a distinguished guest.

  With the poor example set by Yanila, Albert soon finds out that several more girls come to the classroom where he teaches, which makes the professors even more unhappy.

   "Okay, what do you want to do?"

  In order to nip the worst in the bud, Albert decided to have a showdown with Yanila.

   "It's quite interesting to listen to the lectures given by the professors at Hogwarts." Yanila pretended not to understand, and said with a smile, "The course contents of Beauxbatons and Hogwarts are different."

   "I remember that many schools use the "Standard Spells" series in their charm classes." Albert said, staring into Yanila's eyes.

  "Professors teach in different ways." Yanila was not embarrassed either. As a singer, she was much better than others in some aspects.

   "I suggest you speak directly." Albert reminded kindly.

"To treat a beautiful girl, you should be a gentleman. I heard that British men are very gentlemanly." Yanila winked at Albert. If it was another man, she would have been rejected by her. The girl's delicate face and lively personality fascinated her.

   "Maybe it's because I'm not a gentleman!" Albert simply admitted that he was not a gentleman.

   "You..." Yanila choked.

"Okay, Miss Yanila, I know it's because of your partner, but I won't change my mind, so you can give up, and I don't really like dancing, and my dancing skills are terrible." Albert didn't want to Go around in circles and directly point out this matter.

   "It doesn't matter, as long as I can dance." Yanila said indifferently.

   "Do you know how I usually solve your troubles?" Albert said suddenly.

   "How to solve it?" Yanila suddenly had a bad feeling.

   "Just let you forget a small part of the memory." The expression on Albert's face became more and more kind. "To be honest, I am still very confident in my Forgetting Curse."

   "You really are not a gentleman at all." Yanila couldn't help complaining.

   "No, I'm actually quite a gentleman, otherwise I wouldn't be here to tell you this." Albert was very satisfied with his persuasion method, and the effect was really good.

   "Okay then, I think you don't mind dancing with me!" Yanila put her face close to Albert's ear and whispered.

  The girl compromised.

  She didn't want to bet on whether Albert dared to use the Oblivion Curse on herself.

   Without giving Albert a chance to refuse, Yanila got up and walked away.

   After the girl walked away, Albert said to the flower bed not far away: "She is gone, come out."

   As soon as the voice fell, Fred, George, Lee Jordan and a group of girls appeared out of nowhere.

   "As I said earlier, the Disillusionment Curse cannot fool Albert."

   "We're just... a little curious." Lee Jordan smiled awkwardly. They hid in a nearby flower bed to eavesdrop, but they never heard what the two were talking about.

   "What did she ask you for?" Angelina asked impatiently.

   "About the Christmas ball." Albert said, "I said I have a dance partner."

   "I think she wants to know you and chase you back." Lee Jordan couldn't hide his envy, "I don't know when I will be as popular as you."

   "I suggest you go back to sleep now, anything is possible in your dreams." Fred reached out and patted Lee Jordan on the shoulder, jokingly.

   "Albert, who is your dance partner?"

   "Temporary confidentiality." Albert did not intend to reveal the news, after all, Katrina came out as a shield, so it is better not to add unnecessary trouble to the other party.

"I can almost foresee that a large group of girls will come to invite you to dance at the ball." George suggested with a smile, "You'd better take the time to find someone to practice dancing, as a Hogwarts warrior, if your dancing is too bad No, Fred can dance pretty well, you can ask him to practice... ahem, I mean you can ask girls to practice, there are quite a few girls here who know how to dance."

  George changed his words under the oppressive stares of a group of girls.

   "Don't be silly, of course I can dance." Albert tried to divert everyone's attention: "I think you should think about your dance partner."

   At this moment, a girl from a lower grade trotted over here, stopped in front of Albert, and said with a flushed face, "Mr. Bagman asked me to take you there..."

   "Detect the wand?" Albert finished speaking for the other party.

   "Yes, check the wand, and seem to take pictures."

   "I'm afraid I have to go first, see you later." After greeting the others, Albert motioned for the little girl to lead the way. When he passed, there were only two people in that classroom, Rita Skeeter and cameraman Fu Zuo.

   "Long time no see, Rita Skeeter." Albert greeted the witch in front of him, "It's really unpleasant to see you here. It seems that you plan to use this opportunity to make trouble again."

   "You don't mind if I give you an exclusive interview. I heard that you have a good relationship with the warriors of Beauxbatons." Rita Skeeter was not embarrassed at all.

   "You know, I don't like being in the newspaper, believe me, you have better options." Albert hinted that Rita Skeeter went to interview the savior Harry Potter.

   "Everyone is very interested in you," Rita Skeeter took out the parchment and quill from the crocodile bag.

"If you really want to interview me, I suggest you change to a quill, or I can change one for you. You know, I hate the language processed by your quill." Albert reminded kindly , "Hate them even more in the Daily Prophet."

   Rita Skeeter curled her lips and gave up reporting on Albert.

  She has her own plan, and if she wants to get ahead, she needs to know who cannot be offended and what cannot be reported.

Rita Skeeter once thought that Albert Anderson was just a talented Muggle wizard. When the other party won the International Wizard Chess Championship, he cleverly used his ability to read pictures and make up stories, and fabricated a lot of things that everyone liked. In the end, he bumped his head against the steel plate and was approached by the other party.

Albert revealed her Animagus identity as soon as they met and threatened her with it. Although the two parties finally reached a settlement and promised not to publish Albert's reports indiscriminately, Rita Skeeter was not too serious. Take this matter to heart, because as long as she reports the Animagus to the Ministry of Magic and pays a high fine, the matter will be over.

But Rita Skeeter hesitated. If the identity of Animagus is exposed, it will be difficult for her to obtain more valuable information in this way. People will inevitably be wary of her, and those who hate him People who don't know her will definitely make trouble for her.

   Reaching a settlement with Anderson is obviously more cost-effective, but it needs to take some risks, but it is still worthwhile. Without those scoops, it would be difficult for Rita Skeeter to write news that satisfies everyone. The fame accumulated over the years will quickly disappear, and people will soon forget who Rita Skeeter is.

  Although Rita Skeeter has a bad reputation now, she is famous after all. As a result, her articles can be sold and sought after by people, and even have a group of loyal fans.

However, Rita Skeeter has always been unable to see through the person in front of her. The other party is definitely not a Muggle wizard. A Muggle wizard cannot be awarded the title of Wizengamot British youth representative, let alone the third class of the Order of Merlin authorization. It's an underlying rule in the wizarding world that they only award the Wizengamot and the Order of Merlin to pure-blood wizards.

  However, this rule was broken by the opponent, and Albert, who broke the rule, was still safe, which can explain the problem.

  The door of the classroom was pushed open again, and Filch walked in with a velvet. He first connected the three desks to each other, and then covered them with a long piece of velvet.

   Put five chairs behind the velvet-covered desk.

Not long after, Fleur walked into the classroom, and behind her was Ludo Bagman, the director of the Department of Sports and Sports of the Ministry of Magic, who hadn't had a good time recently. He forced a smile at Albert, and then told Rita Skeeter chatted.

   On the contrary, the cameraman Fu Zuo was very interested in Fu Rong, and kept watching her secretly from the corner of his eyes, but Fu Rong didn't bother to look at her more, and sat directly next to Albert.

   "I heard that Yanila came to pester you recently." Fleur talked to Albert in French, and with her English level, it was very difficult to use it to communicate with others.

   "She's just interested in Hogwarts courses." Albert smiled.

   "Do you believe this kind of thing?" Fu Rong said contemptuously, "That woman really doesn't give up."

   Albert did not make any comments.

   "However, this kind of thing is actually quite rare. It is undeniable that that woman was quite popular when he was in Beauxbatons. If his suitors know that you treat her like this, they will probably trouble you."

  Fleur is actually very curious about the man in front of him, what is the charm that attracts the woman Yanila, even her cousin Louise also likes him very much.

   While the two were talking, the door of the classroom was opened again, and Viktor Krum walked in. He still had a gloomy face as usual, standing quietly in the corner, not talking to anyone else.

  Fleur glanced at Krum, and suddenly asked, "By the way, do you still have contact with Louise?"

   "What happened to her?" Albert asked.

   "She closed the cold drink shop, and opened a witch beauty shop with two American friends she just met."

   "She mentioned it in her letter."

   "She seems to say that this shop is related to you?" Fu Rong looked at Albert, "Could it be that you supported her to open that witch beauty shop?"

   "You think too much." Albert shook his head.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the classroom again, and Harry Potter appeared outside the classroom, immediately attracting the attention of Ludo Bagman, the director of the Department of Sports and Sports of the Ministry of Magic, who was very enthusiastic about Harry , Rita Skeeter, who was talking to him, was more enthusiastic about Harry, and directly dragged him to the broom room for an exclusive interview.

Not long after the two left, Dumbledore walked in with Professor Karkaroff, Mrs. Maxime, Mr. Crouch and Mr. Ollivander, and sat on the five chairs prepared by Filch. Sweep from three people in the classroom.

   "Isn't Harry here yet?"

   "Rita Skeeter said she was going to do an exclusive interview with Harry," Ludo Bagman explained. "I don't think they went far."

   Dumbledore walked outside, and brought Harry back in a short while, along with Rita Skeeter.

  Dumbledore still carried out his habit of not talking nonsense, and after briefly explaining the reason to everyone, the wand testing ceremony officially began.

Fleur, who was sitting next to Albert, was the first warrior to be tested. Mr. Ollivander seemed surprised that Fleur's wand core was actually a Veela hair, and what was even more surprising was the source of Fleur's hair As for her grandma, although Albert knew that Furong had Veela blood, Fu Zuo, who had been staring at Furong just now, seemed to think it was a good topic.

   Albert is the second warrior to be tested. Mr. Ollivander seems to prefer to talk about his own works compared to others' works.

"You know what? Sequoia wands are always fascinating when paired with successful wizards and witches, and when I send them out of my studio I always look forward to hearing about their exciting feats later." Ollie Mr. Vander smiled and said to Albert: "Actually, I'm very glad that it didn't take me long to hear about your deeds."

   "It's in excellent condition and I can tell you've been in the habit of tending to it regularly."

   "It's very easy to use, and it always brings me luck." Albert said with a smile.

   "I remember you didn't believe this at the time." Mr. Ollivander waved his wand, and a stream of silvery white smoke was blown out, forming a smoke raven, which flew through the open window into the faint sunlight.

"I still stand by my point of view, redwood wands do not bring luck in themselves, they are only strongly attracted to certain wizards, and those wizards already have the ability to save the day, make the right choice, and seize the advantage in danger. Admirable ability." Mr. Ollivander nodded towards Albert, "Obviously, that is your ability, not the luck brought to you by the wand."

   Krum is the third warrior to be tested. His wand comes from another outstanding wandmaker, Grigovich.

  Grigorovich retired a few years ago, and Albert also has several wands made by Gregorovich himself. These wands have a characteristic, and their power is usually stronger.

  Perhaps, it is precisely because of this reason that Gregorovich will try to copy the Elder Wand!

Harry was the last warrior to be tested. Mr. Ollivander just stared at the wand for a long time, tested it briefly, and declared that it was in very good condition. He returned the wand to Harry, and did not reveal the two wands to anyone. news.

  The wand detection is over.

After taking a group photo for everyone, Rita Skeeter still asked to take a solo photo of the warriors, but Albert ignored her, deftly dodged the other party's hand, and went straight to Olivan Mr. De went.

   "Mr. Ollivander, I have something to tell you, you don't mind wasting a few minutes with me!" Albert called to the wand maker who was about to leave.

   "Is there something wrong? Mr. Anderson." Mr. Ollivander and several others looked at Albert in surprise.

   "I want to talk to you alone." Albert signaled Mr. Ollivander to come with him.

   "Oh, well!" Mr. Ollivander was still happy to hear what Albert wanted to say to him.

The two entered an empty classroom. After making sure that no one was around, Albert said to Mr. Ollivander who was staring at him curiously, "In two years, you are likely to encounter some big troubles. I suggest you Go out before next winter, you'd better travel around the world, don't let people find you easily. If you have a family, you'd better go together."

   "What?" Mr. Ollivander was a little taken aback, probably not expecting Albert to say such a thing.

   "You can think that this is the kind advice of a fortune teller, which can save you from some troubles." Albert said calmly: "I originally wanted to invite you to participate... It seems that there is no chance."

   "A fortuneteller?" Mr. Ollivander stared at Albert with surprised eyes, as if he wanted to read something from his face.

"I suggest you observe the situation next year and then consider my suggestion. It will be good for you." Albert reminded kindly: "By the way, please don't spread this matter. Many people actually don't believe that I have such a Ability."

   "So, you knew the content of the Triwizard Tournament from the beginning." Mr. Ollivander's mind is very flexible.

   "This is a personal ability, and it is not considered cheating." Albert argued: "The first item is a dragon, I think this is enough for you to verify my words."

   "You are right, that is indeed a personal ability." Mr. Ollivander smiled and said: "Thank you for your advice, Mr. Anderson, I will think about it carefully."
