The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 282 Black History

After class, Albert stayed behind on purpose, blocked Professor Smith in the classroom, and asked the other party to fulfill his promise and help him learn the Untraceable Stretching Curse.

The mission rewards on the panel are not good, sometimes the rewards will be sent to him through other methods.This time it was a bit tricky, not directly learning the Untraceable Stretching Curse, but teaching myself through Professor Smith.

We're going to Hogsmeade tomorrow, and the Untraceable Stretching Charm will come in handy after we've dealt with Mundungus and got the swamp digger's fur from him.

"Do you think that part of what I said in class...was a bit extreme?" Professor Smith stopped in front of the office, looked sideways at the absent-minded Albert, and asked.

"It's really too early for most second-year students." Albert nodded. Professor Smith's teaching level is indeed very high, but Albert still doubts whether this group of second-year students can accept this part of knowledge.

"I will probably leave Hogwarts early like Professor Broad did." Professor Smith turned the doorknob and turned his head to Albert and said, "Probably around May."

"Is it May?"

Albert was not too surprised. The curse of Defense Against the Dark Arts was too dangerous. For his own safety, resigning early was the best choice.

"Before I leave school, I will teach as much useful knowledge as possible. Come in..." Professor Smith invited Albert into his office.

Albert sat on the sofa as usual.

"Is it still milk tea?"

"Yeah." Albert responded.

Professor Smith waved his wand and changed Albert into a cup of milk tea.

"To be honest, Hogwarts students are very bad at Defense Against the Dark Arts." Professor Smith said to himself, as if talking about something interesting, "You can't believe it, so many people, even most of them are The people who work in the Ministry can't recite a decent Iron Armor Curse, and they are really bad in the field of defense against the dark arts."

"This is an era of peace." Albert said without hesitation, "and the Ministry of Magic does not want them to master... You know, there are not many things that schools really teach students, most of them need to be taught by others, or learn by themselves ..."

"I heard some news that the mysterious man is still alive." Professor Smith interrupted.

"Well, at the alchemy party, I heard other wizards talk about this." Albert nodded to show that he knew.It's just that Albert feels that Professor Smith's lectures in class are not for this, but for other reasons.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Professor Smith didn't seem to want to talk about it, "I can probably guess why you want to learn the Untraceable Stretching Curse, but I need to remind you that the Untraceable Stretching Curse is It is an advanced spell that is very difficult to learn, so you have to be prepared."

"I'm already mentally prepared." Albert said calmly.He is already prepared to put a lot of experience into it after mastering the Untraceable Stretching Curse, and directly upgrade the skill level to three levels quickly.

"Let's start, pay attention." Professor Smith raised his wand and cast a spell on the finished teacup.

"Expansion Increment!"

His wand hit the teacup, then smiled and said to Albert, "Try to pour water into the teacup, and you will find that the capacity of the teacup has become larger."

Albert pulled out his wand, used clear water like a spring, and slowly filled the teacup with water, and the capacity inside had indeed become very large.

"Pick it up." Professor Smith made a gesture of invitation.

Albert found that the teacup didn't sink as expected.

"The Untraceable Stretching Charm can not only expand the internal dimension of the object while keeping the appearance of the object unchanged, but also make the object contained inside lighter." Professor Smith explained.

"This magic is very practical." Albert told the truth, he already had several ideas to use this thing.

"It is indeed very practical." Professor Smith continued, "However, due to the risk of being abused, the Untraceable Stretching Charm is strictly monitored by the Ministry of Magic."

"If you make full use of the Stretching Charm, you can turn a suitcase into the width of a room. This teacup is the best proof, but this kind of magic also has a big problem, that is, it is easy to recover." Professor Smith waved his wand, and put the contents of the teacup The clear water was swept away.

"If a wizard walks down the street with a suitcase that has been casted with a traceless stretching spell, and the spell on the suitcase suddenly fails, what will happen? As you can imagine, this is already a serious violation of the International Statute of Secrecy .”

"Will everything come out?" Albert asked tentatively.

"Well." Professor Smith shook his head, "Anyway, the Ministry of Magic has issued a bunch of strict regulations. Wizards can no longer expand the capacity at will, let alone use it for personal use, otherwise they will be fined."

Speaking of this, Professor Smith was even more disdainful, "You know that there are many loopholes in those bullshit rules, or when the law was written, loopholes were intentionally left!"

Regarding the law, Albert strongly agrees that the laws in the magic world are basically riddled with holes, and essentially serve a small number of people.

"You probably don't know that the Untraceable Stretching Curse cannot be used privately, otherwise you will be fined. It's more for your own profit." Speaking of this, Professor Smith was even more disdainful, "Only related to the ministry The exception is department-approved manufactures, suitcases or family travel tents, which, of course, are actually prescribed by a family for profit."

Albert couldn't help being dumbfounded when he heard the words, but he didn't expect such a truth to exist.

"Of course, those suitcases or family travel tents have been strictly inspected." Smith talked about the black history of some people, but he was not polite at all.

"Using power to gain some benefits for myself is considered a normal operation." Albert laughed at himself, "If I had the chance, I would definitely do it too."

Smith was stunned, probably not expecting Albert to say this.

However, if it were him, [-]% would do the same.

Who would go against Garen?

What's more, it's legitimate money making.

"Ahem, anyway, just pay attention to yourself." Professor Smith reminded, "I don't want you to be charged and imprisoned in Azkaban Prison."

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's try it!"

"Expansion and increment!" Albert waved his wand and cast a spell on the teacup he had finished drinking.

"The gesture is wrong, it should be like this." Professor Smith raised his wand and showed Albert a demonstration.

"Incremental expansion!" Albert tried several times, but failed.

However, Albert was not discouraged, and continued to try while paying attention to the changes in the panel.

"Okay, it's almost done. Don't worry too much. With your talent, you can master it in a short time." Professor Smith was not too surprised that Albert's teacup did not change. After thinking about it, he said to Albert, " There are also books about the Untraceable Stretching Charm in the Restricted Section of Hogwarts, I will write you a note and you can borrow it."
