Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 571 Night Lessons
For Hogwarts students, Filch's Mrs. Norris was attacked a long time ago.Their memory is similar to that of a fish, and if it can last for seven days, it is considered quite remarkable.

"Hogwarts, A Piece of School History" in the school library is no longer sought after by the majority of students, and has returned to the bookshelf to eat ashes.

After all, the description of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets in that book is only a few sentences.Except for a few students who like to read, very few people have enough patience to read this blunt book.

Miss Hermione Granger finally borrowed the book as she wished, but she was disappointed by the records about the Chamber of Secrets.

Of course, she is not the only one who is disappointed by this. There are 23 other students who have also borrowed this book before her. That is the number of students who have borrowed that book since the attack. , an average of more than four people a day.

For this reason, Hermione also specifically asked Albert about the Chamber of Secrets, and the latter shirked the matter to Lockhart.

Time is like a gentle palm, gently smoothing everything.

Hogwarts has returned to its usual calm, and even the professors have reservations about whether the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets has been opened.

After all, a cat being petrified proves nothing.

Albert also felt that most of the professors really didn't pay much attention to this matter, and the only one who cared about it was Mrs. Norris' master, the administrator Mr. Filch!
The administrator is still tirelessly looking for the criminal who attacked his cat in the castle, and his temper is getting more and more irritable every day, which brings a lot of trouble to everyone, especially when it is raining, the chief who needs to withstand the rainstorm to train Diqi players will always be troubled by the administrator, who has been unable to find the prisoner for a long time, with the charge of "defiled the castle". The two sides have clashed more than once.

If the attack had the greatest impact on anyone, it would be Ginny Weasley. I don’t know if it was because of the frequent use of Tom Riddle’s diary. She may collapse at any time, and she is already suspecting that she is the culprit, but because she dare not tell others casually, Tom's diary has become the object she can frequently confide in, forming a bad cycle.

Apart from Filch and Ginny, Albert, who knew the truth, was probably one of the people deeply affected by the attack.

Since the attack, Albert's life has become more busy. Due to the need to study the relationship between advanced shielding spells, he even went to various clubs less, and even attracted the attention and inquiries of several professors, but they were all rejected. He prevaricates it with the excuse of being too busy.

Albert was indeed very busy, busy researching and dealing with the basilisk, busy thinking about how to solve the problem, these crap things took a lot of his energy.

If there is any good news recently, it is probably that Bud has helped Albert get the compound medicine. The old man didn't care what Albert did with this thing, so he generously gave him a big bottle, allowing him a People use it for a long time.

As for who?

Albert has already made a choice between Lockhart and Malfoy, and the poor professor has successfully won the new blame man.

No way, who made every Defense Against the Dark Arts professor suspicious?

At that time, he can still carry out some indescribable tests on the diary under the guise of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

To be honest, Albert's conscience would not feel pain if he blamed Lockhart.

He himself is considered a relatively cold-blooded guy, except for a few people who are more important, the life and death of others has nothing to do with him.

At this moment, the Room of Requirement is shrouded in a warm orange-red light. Albert is sitting by the burning fireplace, drinking a cup of hot milk tea, and glances at the mirror on the small round table next to him from time to time. He is waiting to get with someone again. connect.

After the hour hand on the pocket watch finally passed eight o'clock, the old man's soft call finally came from the double-sided mirror, and Nico's face appeared in the mirror.

"Good evening, Mr. Nicole."

Albert put down his teacup and greeted the old man in the mirror with a smile.

Next, it was Nico's teaching time and Albert's puzzle time.

However, this time Albert was the first to ask his own doubts and the problems encountered in learning advanced shielding spells.

Nicole listened patiently to Albert's narration. It could be seen that Albert was very proficient in using the shielding spell, and he also touched the edge of advanced use, but he was a bit short.

Nico has a high attainment in this area, and after listening to it, he slowly explained the advanced usage of the shielding spell.

Using it for yourself or others belongs to the normal use of shielding spells. The stronger the spell, the more it can hide your existence, making it easy for you to be ignored by everyone and not to be tracked and found by people using the spell.

If Albert wanted to block the locking of the Human Footprint, he could do it by using a powerful enough blocking spell on himself. It was simple and rude, but the consequence was that he would no longer receive any letters from owls.

The other is to use it for a certain range, so that people who enter that range cannot be traced.It's a bit more difficult, but it's also a relatively common application of shielding spells, and Nico's residence uses this method.

The last one is to use it on a certain person alone, that is, to block someone alone. It is a relatively advanced usage, and the difficulty is directly increased by several times. Owls are unable to find themselves, while others are unaffected.

Albert proposed to use shielding to create magic items that can shield his own existence, so he can only use the second method.

As for the magic items that he made could not well block the locking of the Human Tracking Curse, a large part of the reason was that the magic items he made were not strong enough.

The elderly wizard also specially explained to him how to use the spell. Although he couldn't watch the other party use it in person, he could understand that Albert's advanced use of the shielding spell was more advanced as long as he saw that the shielding spell's experience was slowly improving. understanding.

The communication was fairly easy, they were like sitting in front of a computer and making a video call, except that Albert needed to be distracted to take notes.

The two chatted for about two hours before ending.

Before the communication ended, Nico told Albert that the refining of the elixir of life had been completed there, and the quantity of the elixir was enough to last for several years.

As for the Sorcerer's Stone, it has been completely destroyed with the help of Dumbledore.

Albert actually felt that destroying the Sorcerer's Stone was a waste. After all, it was Nicolas Lemer's life's work, and it would be destroyed if it was destroyed.It may be that he does not have the courage and heart of Nicole, but Albert still respects their decision.

"By the way, Dumbledore hasn't solved the problem of the basilisk?" Nicole in the double-sided mirror suddenly asked.

"No, Dumbledore may not have found the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, or he wants to catch the heir." Albert froze for a moment, shaking his head and said.

He also couldn't guess what the headmaster was thinking. Dumbledore was indeed powerful, but he was still only one person after all. He didn't know the direction of the plot, and he didn't have the help of the system. To be able to do that was already considered very powerful.

"Maybe, you should take the time to talk to Dumbledore about this." Nico suggested.He didn't want anything to go wrong with Albert at all, especially knowing that the so-called heir of Slytherin liked to target Muggle wizards.

"I will." Albert added in his heart, "but not yet."

The Chamber of Secrets was opened 50 years ago, when Dumbledore was teaching Transfiguration at Hogwarts, and Hagrid was the ultimate scapegoat, Albert believed Dumbledore wanted to catch the culprit back then , but after all he didn’t have any evidence, so he couldn’t do anything.

Mrs. Norris was attacked, which once again attracted the headmaster's attention. He just had to wait patiently, the so-called heir of Slytherin would show his feet sooner or later.

Perhaps, Dumbledore didn't know the saying "Walk by the river, there's no way your shoes won't get wet." But he obviously knew this truth, and he was more patient than anyone else.
