Study Days at Hogwarts

"Did you tell them about the Room of Requirement?"

As soon as Katrina sat down in the empty seat next to her, she stared at Albert with a complaining look.

Originally, not many people knew about the existence of the Room of Requirement, and no one came to snatch it when it was in use. However, ever since people from the Defense Association became aware of the existence of the Room of Requirement, the place has been frequently occupied by others.

"Fred told Potter." Albert closed the thick book and couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw the completed "Reading Maniac" task prompt.

The damn mission was finally accomplished.

To be honest, the rewards for this mission are a bit confusing. The panel skills given are too random, and Albert really doesn’t have high expectations for it. But after all, it was a task that had been done for several years, and not completing it always made Albert feel panicked.

After finishing it, I really felt relaxed and had a sense of accomplishment.

He no longer needs to spend a lot of time in the library reading books.

When Albert closed the book and was about to return it, he found that Katrina was still staring at him.

"What's wrong?" Albert asked doubtfully.

Katrina didn't say anything. She didn't believe that the Weasley brothers would leak information about the Room of Requirement to others without notifying Albert.

After all, where is the secret base of several of them, this matter must have been approved by Albert.

"Nothing!" The red-haired girl sighed and suddenly said, "Would you mind giving me a copy of your latest book? I think it's called "Survival Guide."

"Oh, of course, no problem." Albert raised his eyebrows slightly and agreed readily, "I will ask Dobby to send it to you."

"I really don't know what you are thinking." Katrina felt that the establishment of the Defense Association had something to do with Albert.

"They have to learn to resist, so that they have the courage to stand up and resist in the future." When Albert was about to return the book, he seemed to have thought of something, took out a notebook from the traceless stretch bag and handed it to Katrina, "This is the black The key point of the Magic Defense Examination is, after you master the knowledge points, we will continue the class."

"Isobel's notes?"

Katrina took the note, recognized her sister's handwriting at a glance, and looked up at Albert.

"Yes, everything marked on it is the key point." After Albert said this, he walked towards the library counter, preparing to return the books he had just finished reading.

"What a perfunctory guy," Katrina muttered.

She put away Isobel's notes. With this thing on hand, the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam next summer would be much easier. Although she felt that she could get good grades even without reading this note, but... the girl still hoped that she could graduate from school with excellent grades.

Although she also knows that this transcript may not be of use, she has been separated by Albert and Isobel in many aspects. Katrina does not want her N.\\nE.\\nw. \\nTs results were so different from theirs, that was the last trace of stubbornness in her heart.

Looking at Albert's leaving back, Katrina retracted her gaze and took out a letter from her pocket. This was a letter from friends across the ocean. She had always kept in touch with them and shared the development of beauty potions. schedule.

When Katrina opened the letter and read the contents, the expression on her face was suddenly stunned. She raised her head and looked at Albert's leaving back, frowning slightly.

Albert didn't know what Katrina saw in the letter. After he left the library, he went directly back to the Gryffindor dormitory, ready to take on the task of "Reading Maniac".

Before accepting the mission, Albert was considering whether to use Felixir. Although it could not bring him any substantial benefits, it could always provide some psychological comfort.

Although he was a European and although he always claimed to be a lucky man, Albert never considered himself very lucky.

The only problem is that Fuling agent has been used a lot this year. Although it is used separately and the dosage is very small, it should be avoided as much as possible.

After much hesitation, Albert finally did not use the Elixir of Fortune because he did not have much left.

It's time to show your true luck!

Albert received the task directly.

Then, start flipping through the skill panel, searching for new rewards you’ve earned.

Albert actually rarely browses the panel anymore, because there are too many skills in the skill panel, and there is no automatic search. Sometimes it is inconvenient to add some, so you have to find them slowly by yourself.

He took out his small notebook and began to compare the skills on it. Only by comparing this thing, Albert could determine what new skills he had acquired.

After half an hour of comparison, Albert found two new level three skills.

As for why you are sure that this is the reward for a "reading maniac"?

Because after acquiring new skills, it is impossible to reach level three in a short period of time.

The two additional third-level skills currently are the psychedelic spell and the elimination spell.

The Charm is a spell similar to a love potion. Lockhart once said that Professor Flitwick was proficient in psychedelic magic.

Albert carefully examined the effect of this spell and found that it was actually useless. The Psychedelic Spell was basically a spell version of the love potion. The effect was similar to the love potion. It would make people feel obsessed and could not create a real love at all. love.

The only advantage is probably that future generations may not be born with no love like Tom Riddle.

Albert actually didn’t know if it would happen, since it wasn’t recorded on the board.

If the psychedelic spell could increase the goodwill of both parties, the situation would be much better. Unfortunately, there is no such spell at all. Even the Gregory flattery agent only makes the user obsessed.

As for the other elimination spell, it is actually a universal counter-spell. Its effect is to eliminate the influence of the curse. There are actually many similar counter-spells for Albert. For example, the curse of stop is a commonly used counter-spell at present.

As for which one is more useful, Albert can't tell, he can only say that each has its own uses.

For example, the Curse Stop has little effect on people who have been planted with the Stunning Curse, while the Elimination Curse can wake people up, but it is not very effective for certain spells. Before further development and excavation, it can only be regarded as a good counter-spell. .

As for the third spell, it was probably a spell that he had already mastered before arriving, so Albert didn't pay attention to it. He was already very satisfied with getting two new spells.

After stuffing the notebook back into the cabinet, Albert took out a box from the cabinet and prepared to go to the Room of Requirement to pack his things.

Ever since the members of the Defense Association learned of the existence of the Room of Requirement, it was no longer safe there. Albert felt it was necessary to take away the things placed in the Room of Requirement to prevent someone from accidentally breaking in. God knows what would happen. thing.

On the way to the Room of Requirement, Albert bumped into an acquaintance.

"Are you going to use the Room of Requirement?" Albert asked after looking around to make sure there was no one around.

"Albert, you're so shocking to me." Hermione put her hand on her chest and took a deep breath.

"Sorry, I thought you could hear the footsteps. Do you mind letting me use it first?" Albert smiled gently: "I'm about to graduate from school, so I'm going to sort out the things I put here. take away."

"Oh, of course, no problem." Hermione casually found a topic, "Fred said you found a way to enter the Room of Requirement."

"So, Fred and George were forced to hide inside by Filch when they were wandering at night. Later, I found a way to enter the Room of Requirement based on their memories." Albert passed the wall three times and opened the Room of Requirement. Behind the door, he walked in.

Grain rafter

"here it is……"

Hermione also followed Albert into the Room of Requirement. She found that it was a private room with carpets on the floor. Soft yellow lights exuded on the walls of the room. There were sofas, windows, heavy curtains, and a bed. Look. It looks like someone's room.

"The Room of Requirement is very mysterious. I occasionally rest here." Albert opened the box and turned to Hermione who was observing the room. "I won't take away the furniture here. If you find a boyfriend in the future, You can also bring him here for a date. The Room of Requirement is the best date place in the school. No one will come to disturb your date. You can even ask the house elf to prepare a romantic candlelight dinner for you. "

"Do you often date here?"

"So be it." Albert waved his wand, and some of the things he had placed here flew towards Albert on their own initiative, and then were put into the opened box.

"But that was a long time ago," he recalled.

"A long time ago?" Hermione was confused.

"Isobel has graduated many years ago." Albert reminded with a smile, "This later became my private study. Fred and George also occasionally used some of the records here."

"It's a great place, it's really suitable for a date." Hermione suddenly understood why Albert came to pack things. She came to the window, opened the curtains and found that there were two large windows behind the curtains, and it was raining outside. It was pouring rain, and Hermione closed the curtains, sat down on the sofa, and looked at Albert who was sorting things. She occasionally chatted with him for a few words, and sometimes she glanced and looked at the entire room, and her eyes fell on the bed.

After Albert finished packing his things, he waved his wand gently and saw a door appearing in the corner of the room. Inside the door was a narrow room with a large cabinet.

"This is this?" Hermione watched curiously as Albert moved the cabinet out of the room.

"The disappearing cabinet can connect two places, allowing people to leave here immediately." Albert waved his wand and moved the disappearing cabinet into another suitcase.

"You used it to leave Hogwarts?" Hermione guessed the reason. No wonder she heard that Albert sometimes disappeared.

"Yes, it's not easy to leave Hogwarts quietly, but there are always other ways." After Albert packed up everything in the room, he motioned for Hermione to follow him.

Then, Albert re-entered the Room of Requirement.

This time, Hermione found herself in a room with many windows. There were many flower pots in the room, and various plants were planted in the flower pots.

"Could this be..."

"Yes, this is a greenhouse. We got some things from the school greenhouse and cultivated them here. You may not know that there are many plants in the school that are rarely seen outside. When Fred and George were making those magical candies, they also I need to pick some raw materials from here. The house elves will help me water and fertilize them regularly." Albert told Hermione not to get too close. Some plants are very dangerous, and Albert will always treat them with caution. them.

"this……"

Hermione was so surprised that she couldn't say anything. She had no idea that Albert had done so many things in school, and many of them should be illegal, but Hermione pursed her lips and said nothing in the end.

"As long as it's not discovered, it's not illegal." Albert laughed at himself, "This is the law of the Ministry of Magic. I just use it."

Albert opened another layer of the box, took Hermione back a certain distance, raised his wand and waved towards the flower pots in the flower bed, causing all the flower pots with various plants to fly into the box. Bert breathed a sigh of relief after casting a spell to lock that layer of the box.

There is no way, there are many dangerous plants in there, and you have to be careful to avoid capsizing in the gutter.

"I remember Sirius saying something similar," Hermione muttered.

"Let's go!"

Albert left the Room of Requirement with the box, and when they entered again, Hermione found that they had entered a room similar to a potions classroom.

She walked to the test table next to her and picked up a test tube labeled A3 from the shelf. There were many similar test tubes or crystal bottles in the cabinet next to her. This should be where Albert used to brew potions. place.

"I remember when I was in the second grade, I used to sit in the girls' bathroom on the second floor brewing compound potions." Hermione couldn't help laughing when she thought of this. "If there had been such a good place, we wouldn't have had to renovate it." It's in the bathroom."

"When you turn into a cat."

"Yes, I made a mistake. It was a bad memory." Hermione picked up a test tube containing pink potion and asked Albert, "What is this?"

"The original version of the beauty potion is not very effective, but I think girls will like it. If you want, you can take away all the beauty potions in the cabinet." Albert reminded with a smile, " There should be some that are sealed with sealing wax.”

"Beauty potion?" Hermione knew what a beauty potion was, but she was not interested in that kind of potion, because the so-called beauty potion did not make herself beautiful, but turned her into a beautiful person.

"It's not the same as what you think. The thing on your hand is actually used to cleanse the face. It was inspired by Muggle facial cleanser. It is really effective when used regularly and can make the skin more delicate." Albert smiled He pinched his cheeks and said, "I'm actually using it too. The latest improved beauty potion works pretty well."

"Did you invent it?" Hermione was surprised. She knew exactly how popular this thing would be with the girls.

"That's right." Albert said casually, "However, the beauty potions here are all the results of Isobel's improvements. The girls are extremely persistent and enthusiastic about making themselves beautiful."

"I can understand how she feels," Hermione whispered.

Albert only took away part of the potion, all the equipment and medicines, and he left the rest here, because most potions cannot be stored for too long if they are not stored strictly.

"these are?"

Vomiting, dizziness, nosebleeds, diarrhea, fever, laughing... Hermione saw a labeled pill bottle on a cabinet, and the expression on her face suddenly became weird.

"Ingredients used by Fred and George to make quick-acting skipping candies." Albert said casually.

"Quick-act skipping candy?"

"It's a bit similar to the intelligence-enhancing candy I gave you last time, except it has various effects."

After Albert finally put the potion ingredients in the cabinet in front of Hermione into the box, he was ready to leave.

"Don't you want any of these things?" Hermione asked, pointing to the items placed in another cabinet.

"No more," said Albert.

"These are all magic items!" Hermione recognized what the items above were. There were more defensive bracelets and defensive amulets inside.

"They are all invalid and can no longer be used." After packing up his things, Albert left in no hurry and checked the entire laboratory again to see if he had left anything here.

"Is this a communication bookmark?"

"Yes, this is the original version of the communication bookmark." Albert introduced, "The principle is actually very simple, it is the transformation spell. It's just that students who don't know how to use the transformation spell cannot use it."

"How were the communication bookmarks made later?" Hermione asked curiously.

"That involves the advanced use of the transformation spell." Albert didn't hide it, because there were very few wizards who could reach that level, and it would be difficult for him alone to make new progress in the communication bookmark.

"I think the Defense Association also needs a tool for transmitting messages." Hermione once thought about asking Albert for advice on how to create communication bookmarks to solve the problem of contact between DA members, but she found that it was not possible to achieve the level of communication bookmarks. not easy.

"There are many ways to use the transformation spell. You can use it in newspapers." Albert provided Hermione with some ideas. "Anyway, you only need to use it to convey the party time, and you don't need to use it to communicate. intelligence."

"You're right, I originally planned to make them into magic gold coins." Hermione briefly explained her plan.

"That's a good idea. Umbridge will definitely not recognize her. Her magical attainments are average."
