Study Days at Hogwarts

"Are you here already?"

Watching Albert, who was also slightly pale, push open the door and walk into the hall, Hermione felt like she was in a dream. Obviously just for a drink of water, Albert came over and told himself that they had arrived in Australia?

"Isn't it much faster than expected?"

Albert forced a smile at Hermione and used Apparition to fly from country to country, which really made him a little unable to bear it.

"It's really fast, but are you okay?" Hermione had also noticed Albert's slightly pale face.

"It's like riding a lot of roller coasters in one breath. Just sit down and rest for a while." Albert was also a little surprised at his resistance in this regard. The last time he used Apparition to go to the Far East, he spent a lot of time. We're only halfway across the world. If something like this happened a few more times, I'd probably be able to use Apparation to wander around the earth without even taking a breath.

"Anyway, we have arrived in Australia, why don't you sit down and rest for a while?" Hermione looked at Albert with a particularly complicated look. After reaching out and pouring him a glass of water, she suggested: "Wait until we regain our composure. , let’s go out together to look for people.”

"good!"

Albert did not reject Hermione's kindness, but quickly went through the next plan to find the person in his mind.

After losing the initial preliminary tracing means, if you want to find Hermione's parents in the vast country of Australia, you have to use other tracing methods.

He knows best how well Albert's divination is, and it is indeed effective, but he may not be able to find the person in the first place.

We should be able to find people from Muggles, but we just want them to help pull out the immigration lists from a few years ago. It will take a certain amount of time to locate the approximate location of Hermione's parents, and it may also alert the Australian Ministry of Magic. .

After all, even if Albert felt that he was embarrassed, he didn't think that the Muggle government's Immigration Bureau would be willing to actively cooperate. If he wanted to get the other party to help obediently, he would have to use the Imperius Curse. Directly using the Unforgivable Curse is definitely a very stupid approach.

Then they would have to use other more laborious and stupid methods.

"I remember you changed their names." Albert suddenly asked.

"Wendell and Monica."

Hermione was stunned, not knowing why Albert suddenly mentioned this matter, but she briefly thought about it for a while and told Albert the name she had changed to her parents.

"Where's the last name?"

"I remember it was Wilkins." She looked at Albert in confusion, "Are you planning to find them by name?"

"It might be easier to find someone if you know the name. Whether you want to find your family through the Muggle government or use other methods, it should come in handy." Albert heard Hermione say that he She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at her parents' new names. If she had even forgotten this, Hermione would probably have to find other ways to recall it.

"How are you going to find them?" Hermione asked curiously.

"When the time comes, go to the town and buy a detailed atlas of Australia, use the large-scale human traces spell on it, and screen out Wendell and Monica Wilkins." Albert briefly stated the purpose of his search. ideas.

"Can such a thing really be done?"

Hermione opened her mouth in surprise. Of course she knew the Human Trace Charm. The Marauder's Map Harry used had a similar ability, but the Human Trace Curse would make everyone's names appear on the map, and she wanted to find her parents in the vast sea of ​​people. , just like a dream.

"I haven't tried it, but it should be no problem. I can make a certain person's name appear alone. The only problem is whether it can be effective on a large map. If not, I can only narrow the scope and piece together the map piece by piece. ”

Albert has never tried to use the human trace spell on a large map.

Well, he actually tried to use it in the UK, but Australia's land area is about 31 times that of the UK, so he really has never tried to use this spell on such a large scale.

If he had the Elder Wand in his hand, Albert wouldn't worry about failure, but without the Elder Wand, he really couldn't be sure whether his spell would be effective.

"Shouldn't you..."

"Even without the help of that wand, my magical power is far more powerful than most wizards." Albert shook his redwood wand and comforted with a smile, "Of course, if this plan still doesn't work, , we can only think of other ways, but I think it’s better not to have that situation happen.”

If Hermione hadn't "lost" the missing persons method, Albert could directly locate the Grangers through the connection between the two items, and directly take Hermione there with Apparition.

However, since the thing is lost, there is nothing that can be done and we can only use other more troublesome methods.

Listening to Albert's words, Hermione nodded repeatedly and admired Albert's clear thinking. If it were her own words, she might not be able to come up with such a solution.

"Let's go to the city and buy a map." Albert suddenly stood up from the sofa and said to Hermione with a smile, "Fortunately, English is also spoken here. It would be troublesome if we moved to a place where the language is different. "

"now?"

Hermione also didn't expect Albert to be so impatient, and asked with worry: "Your face is still ugly, do you really not want to continue to rest for a while?"

"No, you probably also want to see your family as soon as possible!" Albert gave Hermione a reassuring smile, saying that he would definitely help her find her family.

"No...I mean, since we have arrived in Australia, it will be a matter of time to find them, so there is no need to be so anxious." Hermione was so nervous that she stuttered a little. In order to prevent herself from getting more confused, she stepped forward and gave Albert a message. A big hug.

"Thank you," she said softly.

"You're welcome, I promised you."

Albert tapped Hermione on the shoulder, indicating that the other party could let go of him.

Hermione let go of her hand in a panic. After taking a deep breath and gradually calming down, she carefully considered her words and said, "You have just experienced a long-distance Apparition. You should continue to rest and regain your energy. If you collapse from exhaustion, it will delay the search for someone." "

"Don't worry, I didn't force myself. Forget it, I'll drink some Felixir later. Maybe the whole process will go smoother."

Looking at Hermione sitting opposite him, Albert couldn't help but sigh. Girls in love are always more emotional than rational.

He wasn't stupid, so why didn't he know Hermione's thoughts?

But Albert knew very well that he couldn't respond to the other party because he really couldn't give the other party what he wanted.

Why ruin the other person's life for your own selfish desires?

He really has no shortage of women, and he's not that horny.

If I were myself in my previous life, I wouldn't have to worry about this at all.

"No wonder Isobel isn't worried at all." Albert sighed silently in his heart and stood up from the sofa.

"Where are you going?" Hermione asked confused.

"Pharmacy, although the symptoms similar to the door key fainting cannot be completely eliminated, they can be alleviated through magic potions. I will prepare some medicine so that we can recover as soon as possible."

Under Hermione's gaze, Albert walked into a room filled with potions. After a while, he came out and handed one of the potions to Hermione: "After drinking it, you should feel It’s better, but the effect of this thing is a bit like motion sickness medicine. You will feel sleepy after drinking it. We should be able to fully recover by sleeping here for an hour or two. "

With that said, Albert walked towards the outside of the box. Although there should be no problems during the rest period, years of caution have allowed him to instinctively strengthen the protection of the suitcase, and even hide it completely to avoid trouble during the rest period.
