Study Days at Hogwarts

"Look, this report..."

While eating breakfast, George, who was flipping through the Daily Prophet, suddenly shouted, startling several people around him.

"Don't yell so early in the morning!" Lee Jordan glared at George angrily. The sound just now scared him so much that he shook the pieces of bread off his hands.

Albert covered a yawn, spread jam on his slice of bread, took a bite, and then leaned over to read the Daily Prophet that George pushed over.

There is a paper on Baffy's Brain Refresher above. The Ministry of Magic is reminding everyone not to believe in Buffy's Brain Refresher and not to use Buffy's Brain Refresher indiscriminately, because all the Buffy's Brain Refresher that can be purchased on the market are poisonous.

"I thought something was wrong." Albert covered another yawn, "Turns out, it's just to scare others!"

"Scare others?" Li Jordan reached for the newspaper, read it carefully and said, "It should be true, right?"

"It's true. The actual situation is indeed what the newspaper said. However, the newspaper exaggerated the matter." Albert ate the jam-smeared bread in two bites and muttered, "This is a smart method. , is more useful than making any laws.”

"Why?" George didn't understand why Albert said this.

"Laws can be exploited in the law, and if you were told clearly that the Bafa brain-reviving potion on the market is poisonous, would you still spend a large sum of galleons to buy a bottle of poisonous potion to try?" Albert He pouted. "Speaking of which, that Slytherin student was so unlucky that he was pulled out and whipped to death by the Daily Prophet."

"That's right. I guess no one would dare to buy those unexplained Baffy brain-reviving potions now." Fred closed the newspaper, looked at Albert and said, "But in this case, your plan will probably be ruined." It’s going to be ruined!”

"Who said that? Haven't you heard of the brand?" Albert said mysteriously as he looked at several roommates.

"I don't understand!" The three of them shook their heads in unison.

"Well... Just like Floo powder, besides Floo Bang Company, would you go anywhere else to buy Floo powder?" Albert thought for a while and gave a simple case.

It is said that there is fake floo powder on the market that can blow wizards out of fireplaces.

"It seems...not possible!"

The three of them looked at each other and looked at Albert again.

"But, this and...oh, I see, I probably know what you mean, this is not easy."

"I'm just giving you an example."

Albert added another fried egg to his plate and looked up.

The mail has arrived!

Dozens of owls flew into the halls, flying over the heads of the students, dropping letters or packages to their recipients.

Fortunately, the owl leaves just as quickly as it comes. Otherwise, when eating in the morning, shit suddenly falls from the sky. How could I have endured it?

Albert received two letters and a heavy-looking package.

"There is no sender written on it." George said with a frown.

"I know."

Albert opened the package, took out the bag inside, made a "shut up" gesture to the three roommates next to him, and then quickly stuffed the bag, which could vaguely hear the crisp metal collision sound, into his pocket. inside.

He made a lot of galleons from selling Bafei's brain-boosting potion. Although he didn't immediately count the gold coins, he didn't worry about others defaulting on their debts.

"Big money!" Fred couldn't help but muttered: "How much?"

Albert raised three fingers and shook them.

"That's great. But do they dare to use it? I heard that the Ministry of Magic is particularly strict in detecting cheating this year."

"Don't be stupid. If it were so easy to check out, the Ministry of Magic would have done it long ago." Albert curled his lips disdainfully.

The Ministry of Magic does not check whether students are taking the Buffy Refresher. The reason is more of a hassle and a waste.

The Bafe Brain-Refreshing Potion is the same as the Fuling Potion. The manufacturing process is very complicated, the material cost is extremely high, and the success rate is extremely low. If you drink the failed product, you will be poisoned. It is completely unrealistic for ordinary students to buy this magic potion for cheating. Even if you buy it, you still have to consider whether you are taking risks.

Intelligence enhancers and the use of dragon claw powder are the two most common methods of cheating in exams, but the Ministry of Magic has long been prepared for prevention.

Here’s an ad, I’m currently using the book-chasing app, [\\Mi\\Mi\\Reading\\app\\\\] to cache books and read aloud offline!

As for Legilimency, many students have never even heard of it. It is not easy to cheat with Legilimency. Most wizards may not be able to contact them even after graduation.

"Mr. Anderson." A voice came from behind Albert.

Albert put down his knife and fork, turned around and saw Professor McGonagall standing behind him at some point.

"Good morning, Professor McGonagall." Albert greeted the other party immediately.

"Principal Dumbledore wants to see you for something." Professor McGonagall motioned for Albert to follow her to the principal's office.

"Um...professor, I have class later."

"Mr. Weasley, remember to ask for leave for Mr. Anderson." Professor McGonagall said without thinking.

"See you later!" Albert finished the remaining food in a few mouthfuls, threw his schoolbag to George, waved to everyone, and followed Professor McGonagall.

Of course Albert knew why the principal was looking for him.

Dumbledore estimated that the letter he sent yesterday was somewhat incomplete, and he was going to confirm it.

Albert had already weaved a true and false story in his mind, and he was ready for this day.

The two of them turned a corner silently and stopped in front of a griffin.

“Chocolate Frog!!”

After she said the password, the gryphon came to life, revealing the spiral staircase behind the wall. Albert and Professor McGonagall stepped on it and followed the escalator to the principal's office.

Professor McGonagall knocked on the door and took Albert in. No one was inside, and Dumbledore didn't know where he was.

Professor McGonagall told Albert to wait, then turned and left, leaving him alone in the principal's office.

Dumbledore didn't keep Albert waiting for long. He walked in from outside the office. It seemed that something had happened just now.

"Mr. Anderson." Dumbledore looked at Albert with a smile and said, "I have read your letter..."

"If you are looking for the crown in the photo, I will take you there right now." Albert looked at Dumbledore and said softly.

"Then let's go!" Dumbledore nodded, very satisfied with this efficiency.

"Principal, what do you think that is?" Albert asked softly.

"It's hard to say. You need to see the real thing to know." Dumbledore followed Albert to the opposite side of the tapestry where the troll beat Barnabas silly.

"It's right here," said Albert. "I call it the Room of Requirement."

"A response to any request?"

"Well, it can be turned into the room you need. I think this name is appropriate." Albert asked curiously, "Don't Principal Dumbledore know about this place?"

"Although I am the principal of Hogwarts, I may not know all the secrets in the school." Dumbledore winked at Albert, "However, I think I went in once inadvertently. At that time There was a room with many exquisite chamber pots in it. When I went out, the room suddenly disappeared."

"Hold on"

Albert walked back and forth three times, waiting for the door of the Room of Requirement to open, and then walked in first.

"How did Mr. Anderson discover this place?" Dumbledore looked around at the garbage and asked curiously.

"I didn't discover this place first." Albert briefly talked about Fred and George's night trip, and then said that he had speculated and figured out the correct way to open the Room of Requirement.
