The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 91
Weekends are undoubtedly a good day for students living at Hogwarts.

On weekends, everyone doesn't have to worry about being late for class, and they can sleep until they wake up naturally. After waking up, they don't need to think about the problems they will encounter in class. They can have a good time and relax the pressure accumulated during the week. Allowing students to take a breather from their busy academic life.

Early in the morning, the Weasley brothers' beds were already empty. The two of them got up early and went out, planning to plant garlic in a clearing on the edge of the forbidden forest where the sun could shine.

It's a location they took a lot of effort to find, it's sparsely populated, and they don't need to worry about being discovered.

To be honest, Albert really can't understand what Fred and George are thinking, is it really just to make that ridiculous amulet?

Maybe!
Anyway, the two of them have clear brains, and it's not surprising to do anything.

Before Albert finished breakfast, Fred and George had returned, their robes and hands were stained with mud, and after hurriedly going to the bathroom to wash, they chatted with him about growing garlic.

Listening to the chatter of the two, Albert actually wanted to complain for a long time, did they not have the concept of planting garlic in flowerpots?
Rejecting Lee Jordan's invitation to go to the Quidditch pitch for training, Albert reached out and slammed the wooden door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office on the second floor of the castle just as the clock on his pocket watch reached ten o'clock.

In other words, did you tear down the wooden door of the other party's office when you entered Professor McGonagall's office last time?
At that time, how many of them were not punished by Professor McGonagall, it is a bit incredible to think about it now!
The wooden door was opened from the inside, and Professor Bud Broad looked at Albert who was standing outside the door, and invited him into his office with a smile: "It's just ten o'clock, you came on time!"

"I hope I didn't disturb you." Albert walked into Professor Broad's office and looked at this extremely comfortable room, with a few soft sofas, a bronze-colored carpet under his feet, and neat walls. There are several bookshelves on the ground, and the bookshelves are filled with various books, and the number must be over a hundred.Blue silk curtains hang by the windows, from which you can see the courtyard of the castle.Now, there are students walking in the yard, chatting and basking in the sun.

"What would you like to drink?" Brod asked.

"Milk tea." Albert asked curiously: "Professor, take the liberty to ask, did you graduate from Ravenclaw?"

"Yes, it's not hard to guess, right." Brod winked at Albert. He raised his wand and tapped the empty teacup in front of the two of them, and the cup immediately exuded a fragrant milk tea smell. .

Albert put a few pieces of sugar into his milk tea and slowly stirred it up with a spoon.After a moment, he took a sip from the teacup, "I heard that Ravenclaw's eagle-shaped bronze door knocker is very interesting."

"Yes." Professor Broad nodded. "The Ravenclaw common room will be open to you as long as you can answer the question about the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker."

Albert smiled without saying a word, shaking his head imperceptibly.

While Professor Broad said so, he did not think Ravenclaw students would welcome a stranger into their common room.

People are always xenophobic, and if students from other houses run into the Gryffindor common room, it's not hard to guess the outcome.

Professor Broad pointed to the dessert on the table and said, "You may like the freshly baked pumpkin pie."

"I also like pumpkin pie, it tastes great when it's hot!" After taking a piece of pumpkin pie, Albert talked about the book he read a while ago: "By the way, professor, I just read it. After "Simple Alchemy", that book made me feel... very special."

He organized his vocabulary a little, and hesitated for a moment before continuing: "It's hard to imagine that what is described in that book is the so-called alchemy, do you know anything about it?"

"I don't want to pretend to be an expert in alchemy. On the contrary, my knowledge of alchemy is limited to the knowledge in books." Professor Broad shook his head and said, "I think you are definitely not here today to discuss with me. Alchemy thing, right?"

Albert knew that he should end the topic of alchemy, so he pulled the topic to "Dark Power: Self-Defense Guide", talked about some of his doubts about reading this book, and talked about the spells described in the book by the way.

"I'm glad you talked about this topic." Professor Broad said happily: "Yes, that's right, as you can see, there really aren't many useful defensive monsters recorded in the Dark Forces: Self-Defense Guide. Curse, but do you know why this book has become a must-have book for Defence Against the Dark Arts?"

"Yes." Albert nodded and said, "This book can help us recognize the dark creatures that exist in this world, and teach everyone how to deal with these dark creatures."

"Yes, you are right. In fact, this book is really not enough for a gifted student like you." Professor Broad put down his teacup and said: "However, the Ministry of Magic does not like to let students have access to A moderately aggressive spell."

"Yes, it's not hard to see." Albert picked up another piece of pumpkin pie, took a bite, and continued, "If I want to learn more about Defense Against the Dark Arts, I don't know if you have any good suggestions."

"I recommend that you read the book "Practical Defense Magic and Its Restraining Against the Dark Arts"." Professor Brod took a book from the shelf and handed it to Albert, "However, this set of books has The price is a bit expensive, there is no collection in the school library yet, if you want to see it, I can borrow it for you."

"Oh, what a coincidence, I just bought this set of books. I think the Iron Armor Charm and Disarm Charm are very useful." Albert hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped his greasy palm, and reached out to take the hand from Professor Broad. The book that came over, "Of course, the stun spell and the obstacle spell are also good. Unfortunately, I don't know much about the spell removal."

"No no, Mr. Anderson, it's amazing that you can master so many spells in a short period of time." The surprise in Professor Broad's eyes flashed, and he asked with a smile, "I heard that McGonagall The professor is very optimistic about your accomplishments in Transfiguration."

"I think my talent in magic is not bad, plus I have been practicing magic well, the speed will not be too slow." Albert thought for a while and said, "There is no harm in learning more, maybe in the future I will send useful."

"The greed for knowledge is not a fault." Professor Broad suddenly showed an exaggerated expression, "Merlin's beard, to be honest, you are more Ravenclaw than Ravenclaw, the Sorting Hat will definitely let you choose Bar!"

"Yes, the Sorting Hat thinks that I am suitable for other academies except Slytherin." Albert blinked: "Actually, I have no particular prejudice against other academies, but because I met the current one on the train Friends, so I chose to go to Gryffindor."

"Yes, yes, no prejudice is a good thing, and it is difficult for many people to do this." Professor Broad's eyes showed an admiring smile.

"One day, after you finish "Practical Defense Magic and Its Restraint Against the Dark Magic", your level of defense against the dark magic will reach the level of OWL." Professor Broad regretted to Aber Special said: "Because this class was cursed by a certain wizard, the obviously important Defense Against the Dark Arts class has become a dispensable existence, and most students are not at a high level in this regard."

"Professor, is the person who cursed Defence Against the Dark Arts still alive?"

"I'm afraid yes." Professor Broad nodded and said, "Otherwise, Dumbledore should try his best to lift the curse. After all, it is quite hard to find a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor every year."

"I heard from my roommates that the Ministry of Magic has a profession called Aurors. They are all experts in Defense Against the Dark Arts. Why didn't Headmaster Dumbledore invite Aurors to teach students?" Albert asked curiously. road.

To be honest, this is also Albert's doubt in his previous life. Retired Aurors are undoubtedly suitable for becoming Defence Against the Dark Arts professors. They have rich experience, and only need a little experience to impart, they can benefit the students of the school a lot. .

"Many people are afraid." Professor Broad blinked, and Albert dared to pat his chest to assure that he had seen contempt in Professor Broad's eyes just now.

"Fear?"

"They think this profession is unlucky, they are afraid of curses, and very few professors leave this position safely." Professor Broad did not worry about his own safety because of his position. "And, the Ministry of Magic actually I don’t really want to see that happen.”

"Professor, I have another question." Albert said again.

"what is the problem."

"Have Principal Dumbledore ever thought about... stop the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, re-select a new course, or change the name of the course." Albert said what he thought in his previous life, since Voldemort imposed on the Defence Against the Dark Arts class The curse, as long as this class disappears, the curse may disappear as well.

As for the name of the class, it can be completely changed. It is called defense class, self-defense class, etc., it's just a name.

Professor Broad smiled, smiling happily, as if he had heard something interesting.

"You are very reasonable. Defense Against the Dark Arts is only a name after all, and it is not impossible to give up when necessary." Professor Broad nodded in agreement with Albert's point of view, "I think Dumbledore should have thought about this too. But the wizard who cursed the Defence Against the Dark Arts class is not dead, and after dropping the name, maybe he will curse the new class again."

Although this explanation is reasonable, Albert thinks it is an excuse.However, he didn't ask more and ended the topic in this regard.

"If you learn the spells on "Practical Defense Magic and Its Restraint Against Black Magic", you can borrow "Defense and Deterrence Spells" from the library. This book introduces many powerful defense spells, which should be able to satisfy your needs. You." Professor Brod continued, "However, there are some things you need to know. What you see is only the surface of magic. The magic of magic is that it will produce some subtleties with your whimsy. Changes. Powerful spells don’t mean everything, and sometimes a small spell can easily solve a problem.”

While Albert was still thinking about the meaning of this sentence, he heard Professor Broad say, "Okay, it's time for lunch, you'd better not miss it, it's a pleasure to chat with you, most of the students have nothing to do with the professor. In awe, it’s hard to sit down and talk like you and I do.”

"I also benefited a lot, and I look forward to the next chat." Albert nodded slightly to Professor Broad, turned and left the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.

　On the shelves, half a month earlier than expected.However, after the strong push, there is already a foreboding.

　　Forget the monthly pass, if you think the book is okay, just subscribe, you won't get pregnant anyway.
