Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 942 Butterfly Wings

  In a remote corner of the Hogwarts library, Albert, who was staring at the previously compiled Defense Against the Dark Arts manuscript, frowned. He found that many contents of the manuscript in his hand needed to be revised.

Since learning combat skills from Professor Flitwick, he has gained a new perspective on certain things. The Defense Against the Dark Arts manuscripts that he spent a lot of time writing before now look more like empty theories filled with gorgeous rhetoric .

  Perhaps, this is the so-called growth.

  Of course, Albert is not in a hurry to delete his manuscript. Before he has learned all the knowledge and experience from Professor Flitwick, the revision of the manuscript is only a preparation for the next revision.

  He took out a piece of parchment and began to record his views and perceptions on certain things on it, in preparation for subsequent comprehensive revisions.

   "Hope I didn't bother you!"

  Hermione sat on the right side of Albert at some point, looking at what Albert was writing with great interest.

As if aware of the line of sight coming from somewhere, Albert raised his head and looked in the direction of his line of sight. After catching a glimpse of a certain star behind the bookcase not far away, he looked back at Hermione who was beside him, and asked with a smile, " How is your training going?"

   "Great, I learned a lot of useful knowledge from Sirius and Professor Lupine." Hermione lowered her voice and shared with Albert the training in the Forbidden Forest some time ago.

  Even if she and Ron were only training with Harry, they learned a lot of useful knowledge.

  However, from Hermione's tone, the other party seemed to hope that he could also go to training together and learn something useful from Professor Black and Lupine.

  Albert could hear Hermione's good intentions, and just smiled.

What Professors Black and Lupine taught Potter is actually useless to him. Those are the most basic knowledge, which should have been taught by the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, but this course is too cumbersome , resulting in Hogwarts students basically not learning any useful knowledge.

  Hermione noticed the smile on Albert's face, seemed to realize something, and said to herself: "That's right, what we've learned now is only the most basic thing for you."

"There's no harm in learning more about self-protection." Albert comforted softly, "Our school's Defense Against the Dark Arts class is indeed too bad. If you want to get high marks in this class, Sirius and It is a good choice to learn more from Professor Lupine."

  To be honest, since Albert practiced against Professor Flitwick, he has doubts about the overall strength of the entire British wizarding world.

  Let’s not talk about Ronald Smith, who has already grown grass on his grave. The other guys who have fought against him don’t feel weak.

  A Death Eater who is good at black magic is not a hooligan, after all, he is also a guy who can be tough with Aurors, how weak can he be.

  As for Aurors, only elites who can get high scores in school exams, and those who have passed through layers of screening can become Aurors, and the overall level cannot be stretched.

   Well, although wizards are a group of guys with high offense and low defense, the entire wizarding world gave him the illusion that the entire wizarding world was stretched during the final Hogwarts decisive battle.

   Could it be that the savior actually has an advantage in numbers, or is it that Voldemort is all paddling monsters?

  The novel is not easy to delve into, but Potter did solve the basilisk in the secret room alone. This matter cannot be faked, although Albert did not know what happened in the secret room.

   But he finds the whole thing odd.

  Because Harry Potter actually gave Albert a very weak overall feeling, not even as good as Fred, George, and Lee Jordan who had been trained by him.

   Sure enough, it should be said that the halo of Potter's protagonist is too strong?

   Noticing that Albert was deep in thought, Hermione asked, "What are you thinking about?"

   "Nothing." Albert smiled and changed the subject, "By the way, did you catch Rita Skeeter?"

"No, I haven't found Rita Skeeter's beetle for the time being." Hermione seemed to remember something, and said suddenly, "By the way, there is one more thing, I found that Sirius seems to be very wary of Professor Moody, you know why ?"

  Hermione told Albert about Professor Moody appearing during the break and suggesting that Harry become an Auror.

   "Professor Moody also believes that Harry should give up the game to ensure his own safety."

   "Give up the game?" Albert repeated.

   "What are you going to do, give up the game too?" Hermione asked expectantly. She actually didn't want Albert to take risks, especially when she heard that the third project involved Voldemort's conspiracy. She actually hoped that Harry and Albert would give up the competition and put their own safety as the first priority.

   "Let's talk about it at that time, I haven't thought about it yet." Albert really didn't think about it. "If it feels really dangerous at that time, I will just give up the game and wait for the end of the game at the exit of the maze."

"As for the suspicion of Professor Moody, it is a normal phenomenon. The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts is actually somewhat problematic. Whether it is Quirrell who is possessed by a mysterious person, or the big liar Lockhart, or even a werewolf and Lupine, the best friend of the fugitive, so it's normal for Sirius to suspect Professor Moody." Albert shrugged, "Honestly, even if Professor Moody is a fake, I don't think it's strange."

  When Albert said "the werewolf and the best friend of the fugitive", Hermione couldn't help squinting at Albert, obviously not liking this statement.

   "This was the case last year. You can't deny that Professor Lupine's identity was very problematic before the truth was revealed," Albert reminded.

   "You think there's something wrong with Professor Moody."

   "Maybe, anyway, there are frequent accidents in that position, and there is no harm in looking at it with suspicion." Albert actually didn't quite understand what Moody was doing. He didn't understand why the other party gave Harry such advice.

  Unknowingly thought that Moody was thinking about Porter's safety.

All right.

  In fact, Albert would think so if he didn't know it.

   But he knew very well that Moody was an imposter, and he planned to attack Potter, and everything he did was naturally a preparation for taking Potter away from Hogwarts.

  What if the fake Moody took Harry Potter straight away?

  It's not that Albert hasn't considered this possibility, but Dumbledore should be able to follow the trace left by the Portkey and find Voldemort's resurrection directly.

  So fake Moody will definitely delay Voldemort's time, and he will definitely not be exposed easily.

  However, what if my own butterfly **** its wings and kills Harry?

  Albert thought maliciously.

   The savior Potter was killed by Voldemort, then the following plot changed completely.

  If it really changes like that, just flip the table, push Dumbledore forward, and let him face Voldemort.

   As for Albert going to line up with Voldemort, forget it!

  My own life is very precious.

  …

   "Where are you now?"

   "What?" Hermione was taken aback by Albert's words.

   "Your relationship with Krum." Alberto looked at Hermione's astonished expression and asked puzzledly, "Did he not take the initiative to ask you for a date?"

   "We're just friends." Hermione said dryly.

   "Ordinary friends wouldn't invite you to their home during the summer vacation." Albert pointed out the flaws with a smile.

   "It's really just ordinary friends who can get along with each other." Hermione said with a flushed face.

   "Don't explain to me." Albert comforted.

"It's not a shame to find someone you like." He said softly, "Sometimes if you like it, you have to seize the opportunity. Some boys are like idiots. If you don't tell them yourself, he doesn't know at all. Just count on him someday I suddenly realized that I didn’t even know that I had to wait until the Year of the Monkey. Don’t look at me like that, I’m talking about Harry Potter.”

   "Harry?"

  Hermione agrees with Albert's words very much, Harry is very slow in emotion, he looks like an idiot.

  She thought of Ginny, who had always had a crush on Harry, and couldn't help but sigh.

   "Krum is not bad, but he is not brave enough. If it were me, he would definitely come here instead of planning to block me later."

Hermione didn't want to talk about Krum with Albert, and she and Krum were just ordinary friends. Although Hermione knew what Krum wanted to do, she also knew that a foreign relationship basically had no good results. So pay more attention to the friendship between the two sides.

   "Where are you and Isobel?"

   "We are all mature and know what we want." Albert shrugged.

   "Can I see this thing?"

  Hermione stared at the folders spread out on the desk, and changed the subject, she didn't want to discuss this uncomfortable topic.

   "It's okay." Albert pushed the folder to Hermione, "However, the contents inside may not be useful to you."

   There was silence again in the corner, and Hermione was flipping through the Defense Against the Dark Arts manuscript.

  Albert continued to write his feelings during the recent period. Anyway, record it first. Although it may be a bit bloated, it doesn’t matter. He will make some deletions and revisions at that time. This is his experience in writing novels in his previous life.

  If you don’t want to delete or modify, the content will be a little bit less serious.

   "Are you going to publish it?"

Hermione found that the content of the manuscript was almost finished. It contained how to protect herself and guard against black magic, but she saw Albert's bad prediction of the future, as if telling them that Voldemort's resurrection could not be stopped. .

   "Yeah, people will use it soon." Albert said calmly.

   "You seem to think that the Mysterious Man will rise?" Hermione put down the manuscript and asked in a low voice.

"It's not what I think, but many prophecies have pointed this out." Albert shook his head and said, "Although the prophecy may not come true, it is still worthy of vigilance, because when most people prophesy like this, you'd better Be cautious. By the way, you can help me with a name, I'm not very good at naming."

  Hermione didn't know what to name the book for a while, but she still agreed to help Albert think of a title.

  Hermione left quickly without saying hello to Krum. She left in a hurry, apparently eager to tell Harry and Ron what she had found.

  Albert didn't care about these things. He remembered that he had told many people about this matter, and it didn't matter how many more people. If something happened by then, maybe it would be better to fool them.

  He opened his notes, looked at the calendar, estimated the time, and planned to let Isobel choose a remote house to prepare for their next stay in England.

  I will be living in the house for most of the next time, so I need to make it more comfortable. Moreover, once I cast the Fidelity Charm on the house, it is basically refusing others to visit me.

   This is the worst part of the Loyalty Curse. Once used, it can no longer be undone.

  By the way, there is one more thing. I will be graduating next semester, so I have to find a way to complete those valuable remaining tasks.

   Albert put down the quill, flipped through the task panel, and looked for tasks related to Hogwarts. He still remembered that when he first entered school, he triggered several tasks related to Hogwarts.

  The Millennium Ancient School: Hogwarts.

   Current progress: 68%

   These are one of the few large-scale tasks with rich rewards, but it is too difficult to complete them completely.

  If you visit all the common rooms of other colleges, and then visit the girls' dormitories and bathrooms, you should be able to reach more than 85%, and it will be a bit difficult to continue to improve the rest.

   "It should be enough to sneak back for a summer vacation." Albert wrote this plan in his notebook.

  As for the task of reading the madman, the current progress is stuck at 83.

  In this semester, he basically seldom read the Hogwarts books. It would be a shame to complete this task before graduation.

  However, he did not intend to give up on this task, and planned to borrow a few more books to read through it in time to complete the task. The task rewards are quite rich. Although the three random skills are a bit tricky, they are all experience and cannot be easily given up.

Before leaving the library, Albert went to the restricted area to borrow a copy of "Toxic Magic". It's useless, but after careful study, it's also good to use it to improve progress, and if you want to better deal with black magic, you'd better understand black magic.

  As soon as he left the library, he was blocked.

   "Is there something wrong?"

   Albert looked at the gloomy Krum and asked calmly.

   "I want to know," Krum asked with a sullen face and lowered his voice, "what's going on with you and Hermione?"

   "I have a girlfriend, and you should have seen her." Albert didn't care about Krum's staring, and joked with a smile, "So you don't have to worry that I will steal your girlfriend from you."

   "Hermione often talks about you." Krum raised his eyebrows slightly, recalling the beautiful red-haired girl next to Albert during the second project.

   "Hermione and I are just good friends." Albert shrugged, "Maybe you should care about Potter."

   "Are they dating?"

   "Probably not, but Potter doesn't have a girlfriend yet." Albert looked at Krum and said, "You didn't fail to pursue Hermione, did you?"

  Krum's face became even more gloomy, obviously being poked at a pain point by Albert.

   "To be honest, the chances of you being together are not great."

  Krum stared at Albert, his eyes were very unfriendly, but he still resisted not to do anything.

"Usually cross-border love usually does not have any good results, especially after you go back, it will be very difficult for you to meet each other." Albert reminded kindly, "Unless one of you desperately puts everything down Everything, stay in another country."

   "Are you willing to give up your Quidditch career and stay in England until Hermione becomes an adult?" Albert asked Krum.

   "Are you trying to persuade me to give up?" Krum asked hoarsely.

"No, I'm just telling you how cruel the reality is." Albert said calmly, "Hermione is a very smart girl, she must be aware of this, so she rejected you and only intends to be friends with you. "

  Croom was silent, he knew that he would definitely not give up his status as a Quidditch player and stay in the UK.

"If you want to keep your friendship, I suggest you become friends and keep in touch with each other by letter." Albert smiled and patted Krum on the shoulder and said, "As long as you keep in touch, there is always a chance. As for the result , it just depends on your own level."

   "I think this international star is aggrieved. It's not easy to find a beautiful girl to fall in love with." Klum couldn't help complaining.

  He really wanted to pursue Hermione, but hearing what Albert said, Krum knew that his chances were slim.

"Thanks for your advice."

   Before leaving, Klum didn't forget to thank Albert.

  He knew that if Hermione hadn't found a boyfriend after graduation, he would still have a chance to pursue her.

   "What did he ask you for?"

   As soon as Krum left, Katrina appeared out of nowhere.

   "He wants to chase a certain girl." Albert said with a smile

   "So, what the magazine said is true, Krum wants to chase that Granger?" Katrina asked curiously, "He came to ask you for news?"

   "Well, I told him the chances are slim." Albert said with a smile, "I suggest that they become friends first and keep in touch."

   "You are really bad." Katrina knew very well that Krum probably had no chance, and even a couple couldn't stand such a toss.

"I'm just telling the truth. It's too difficult to have a result in a cross-border relationship, unless one of them is desperate, but most of the time it will end in a 'tragedy'." Albert turned to Katrina and said: "Even Huo There are very few Gewartz couples who get together after graduation."

   "You are really..." Katrina turned her head and left. Although she didn't want to admit it, what Albert said was the truth.

  Looking at the back of Katrina's departure, Albert was a little curious whether Hermione would marry Ron in the end.

   After all, there is a butterfly flapping its wings.

  It is really hard to say how the future will change.

   After all, even the relationship between Hermione and Krum was biased by me.

  From what Ginny said later in the novel, it is not difficult to speculate that Hermione actually had a short relationship with Krum, and they dated and kissed together.

   This kind of thing is actually very normal. Krum is the first boy to appreciate Hermione, and he is also a big star, and he also actively pursues her. It seems not surprising that the two sides have a good impression and become a couple, otherwise, no one would invite each other to go home for the summer vacation from the very beginning.

   It's just that this matter seems to have been messed up by myself.

  Because Albert became the first boy who knew how to appreciate Hermione, and might even become Hermione's first love.

  Although he was a bit narcissistic, Albert could tell that Hermione liked and admired him a little bit, as Krum ran to find him on purpose.

  It is really important to be handsome, if he takes the initiative...

   Albert quickly put aside all the practical thoughts in his head and walked towards the common room.
