Study Days at Hogwarts

"This way!"

As soon as Albert walked into the hall, he saw George standing up from his seat and waving to Albert to indicate that he was here. After Albert sat down in the empty seat specially reserved for the three of them, he had been sitting there. Lee Jordan, who was talking to others, turned around and asked, "What are you talking about with Professor Flitwick? Why have you been gone so long?"

At this moment, a junior girl hurriedly walked over, lowered her head and handed a note to Albert and said: "Professor Snape asked me to pass this note to Mr. Anderson." ”

"Thank you." Albert took the note and thanked the other party with a smile.

"You're welcome."

As soon as the girl's eyes met Albert's, she immediately lowered her head with her face flushed with embarrassment, stammered back "You're welcome", and stumbled away.

"You're still as popular as ever."

"If you are envious, just find a girlfriend as soon as possible." Albert glanced at the trio with smirks on their faces and said, "When you have girlfriends, you won't be envious of this kind of thing." ”

"Ahem, don't tell me that Snape also wants to have afternoon tea with you." George coughed lightly and joked with a smile.

This kind of thing is almost impossible to happen. One day Snape invites someone to drink tea, and the mysterious person may pop out of the cemetery the next day.

Albert unfolded the note, quickly read the content on it, and opened his mouth slightly in surprise.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Albert's surprised reaction, several people leaned their heads over to see what was written on the note in Albert's hand.

"See for yourselves!" Albert looked slightly strange and handed the note to George.

George took the note and spread it out to share with Fred next to him. Lee Jordan also leaned over to read the contents with the two of them.

Afterwards, the three of them couldn't help but widen their eyes with expressions of disbelief.

"I've never heard of Snape giving any tutoring lessons," muttered Fred.

"That's not the point. The point is that Albert still needs to make up classes. Damn it." George also didn't understand what Snape's letter meant. He only felt that the content on the note was ridiculous.

"Are you sure someone is not playing a prank on purpose?" Li Jordan also felt that this incident was fake, more like someone was playing a prank on purpose.

Albert understood the content of the letter, but he also felt that this matter was really a ghost. He never expected that Dumbledore was actually going to let Snape teach him fighting skills?

Unfortunately, he didn't believe the fake Moody, and he didn't want to have too much contact with Snape.

What's more, Albert had just convinced Professor Flitwick to teach him fighting skills, so why bother with Snape?

Although he didn't plan to go, he still had to write a reply to Snape, politely refuse, and explain the reasons to show his respect for the professors.

"This is not a prank."

Albert briefly told a few good friends that he was going to find Dumbledore, hoping that the principal could teach him fighting skills.

"I think it would be more appropriate for Principal Dumbledore to ask Professor Moody to teach you combat skills. That person himself is a very good Auror." Fred thought this matter was nonsense and asked the Dean of Slytherin to do it. Teaching a Gryffindor is nothing short of asking for trouble.

"I told Principal Dumbledore that I didn't believe in Moody." Albert made no secret of his distrust of Moody. "And, actually, I hope that Professor Dumbledore can teach me fighting skills in person, you know, He has a lot of experience in this area.”

"Dumbledore asked you to find someone else?" Lee Jordan asked doubtfully.

"God knows what Mr. Headmaster thinks. Anyway, I have just negotiated with Professor Flitwick." Albert shrugged.

In fact, even if the negotiation was not settled just now, it must be settled. Anyway, Albert had no intention of learning combat skills from Snape.

"Oh, you really dislike us." Fred pretended to be sad.

"Eat your food." Albert glanced at Fred, who turned into a showman, with disgust, shook his head and said, "Now it's best to find an experienced wizard to teach us fighting skills. Of course, you learn now There is no harm in having some Auror knowledge, but these things are actually of little use to me."

"What do you think our level is now?" Fred and George exchanged glances and asked.

"I should be able to barely be a trainee Auror." Albert said without thinking.

In fact, Albert didn't know what the level of the Aurors in the Ministry of Magic was, but he was confident that he could knock down one or two Aurors head-on because they wouldn't throw the Unforgivable Curse around. Many times, in a system like the Ministry of Magic, Personnel are not dangerous, they will not cross the line easily, and they will not appear out of nowhere to tell you about Avada Kedavra.

After eating, Albert began to write a letter.

A letter was sent to Snape, declining his "invitation" to make up lessons, and bluntly stating that Professor Flitwick was willing to teach him fighting skills.

As for the other letter, it was written to Sirius Black, reminding him that the third project was dangerous, and secretly hinting that Sirius should take time to teach Harry how to fight and protect himself. By then, he might also be able to take time to talk to Sirius. Let’s discuss magic.

The two letters were quickly sent by Albert.

We also encountered some trouble during this period. The owls who delivered the letters were a little reluctant to go out, because the cold wind in March was not a good weather to go out to deliver letters. They might be blown away by the cold wind after they went out.

Therefore, Albert decisively arranged the easiest job for Sheila. As for the letter to Sirius, Albert chose the strongest owl and comforted it for a long time before letting the owl deliver the letter to him obediently.

Snape, who had received the letter that night, had a distorted expression on his face after reading Albert's reply. He never expected that he would agree to Dumbledore teaching Albert fighting skills, only to be declined by the other party with the excuse Snape was speechless.

After Snape read the letter, he sneered and threw the note into the fireplace and burned it.

Professor Flitwick promised to teach Albert fighting skills?

Whether this was true or not, it had nothing to do with Snape.

However, for some reason, Snape became angrier as he thought about it.

All right.

He always felt that he had been tricked by Dumbledore.

The current situation looks like Albert Anderson went to learn combat skills from Dumbledore, but Dumbledore obviously did not agree to teach him personally and planned to let himself teach the other party combat skills.

The two parties did not explain things clearly, or Dumbledore did not explain things clearly. As a result, Anderson was not an ordinary person. He decisively gave up on Dumbledore and found a new teacher for himself.

As a result, he foolishly wrote to the other party like this. Thinking of this incident, Snape became very angry. In the end, he felt that he could not feel uncomfortable, so he went to Dumbledore to share the good news with the other party.

Dumbledore was a little helpless after receiving the news. He did not expect that Albert would be so efficient and find a teacher willing to teach combat skills so quickly.

There is no doubt that Professor Flitwick is suitable. He has also been a dueling champion and is also a professor, so he will definitely be able to do the job.

However, when it comes to dealing with dark wizards, Moody and Snape are obviously more suitable.

After getting the news from Snape, Dumbledore also realized that Albert had never expected himself to be able to teach the opponent combat skills from the beginning. The other party came to him just to try his luck, and even the backup candidates had been selected. Well, maybe Professor Flitwick is not the only candidate.

To be honest, Dumbledore regretted not making things clear at that time. As Phineas said, Albert was indeed a very good friend. He even considered the possibility of pulling him into the Order of the Phoenix, but Dumbledore Little did Bumbledore think that after Albert received the signal that he was not going to teach him, he would immediately sneak away. He left so cleanly that even the suitable candidate that Dumbledore originally planned to recommend to Albert was gone. I almost didn't say it.

What Dumbledore didn't expect was that Professor Moody, whom he thought was most suitable to teach Albert, ended up receiving a disbelief from Albert.

"I don't believe Alastor. Is this an excuse, or... do you really not believe it?"

After careful consideration, Dumbledore felt that the latter was more likely. People like Albert would be more willing to trust his own judgment, so Alastor has always been a suspicious guy in the eyes of the other party?

However, something was fishy. Did he overlook something?

Dumbledore and Moody had known each other for half a century and found nothing suspicious about each other.

Is it a prophecy?

No, if the prophecy really testified against Alastor, he should have told himself about it.

Looking at the troubled Dumbledore, when Snape turned to leave, he suddenly felt that his bad mood seemed to have improved.

…

…

At noon the next day, Sirius finally received Albert's letter.

When he learned that Dumbledore would probably ask Harry to learn fighting skills from Snape, Sirius was immediately very angry.

Well, of course Albert didn't tell Sirius so directly, he just hinted that he had received a "make-up lesson" note from Snape and pointed out the fact that he had a premonition that the third project was dangerous. The meaning is obvious, anyway, Sirius can definitely see what Albert wants him to understand.

Just as Albert expected, Sirius's first thought after seeing this letter was: How can Harry learn from a slug? What if he is bullied by a slug?

I'm not dead yet!

Moreover, Sirius had also heard about Harry's glorious deeds in recent years, and he simply liked to cause trouble more than James.

Moreover, the things he encountered were all thrilling and big scenes: for example, when he was in the first grade, he faced off against the devil in order to protect the magic stone. When I was in second grade, I ran into the secret room and killed a basilisk. In the third grade, Harry had an encounter with himself, the prisoner, and Peter, the traitor. In the end, Lupine turned into a werewolf. If Albert hadn't been present, God knows how it would have ended.

Who knows what will happen this year?

Albert mentioned in his letter that the third event of the Triwizard Tournament is very dangerous, and God knows what big event it will be.

Even a guy as powerful as Albert felt that his life was threatened. Something would definitely happen, and this incident was probably directed at Harry.

If possible, Sirius really wanted Harry to give up participating in the Triwizard Tournament, but due to the contract, Harry could not give up the competition, so what Sirius can do now is to make Harry "safe" Preparing to go on the "battlefield" again, their goal is not to win the championship, but to wait until the end of the game alive, so things are easier than expected.

Also, Sirius felt that it was necessary to write a letter to Dumbledore to remind them to strengthen the security measures for the third project so that Harry could be rescued in a short time.

If it were in the past, Sirius would definitely not believe what Albert said, thinking that most fortune tellers are liars, but after being awakened by Albert with the truth one after another, Sirius now would rather believe it, and he does not think that Albert Bert had to lie to him, how boring would it be to do that.

"Remus, I have something to discuss with you." Sirius called to Lupine who was preparing food for the owl in the kitchen. He thought it was best to discuss this matter with Lupine. Lupine had been a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and was obviously better at teaching people than him. It would undoubtedly be more reliable for the two of them to teach Harry fighting skills together than if he were alone. .

For Harry, Sirius unknowingly became reliable. After all, Harry himself was unreliable, and if his godfather was unreliable, it would be even less reliable.

After Sirius helped the owl straighten its feathers that were blown around by the wind, he sent it back to Hogwarts with the letter.

After Harry received Sirius's letter, he was very happy that Sirius actually planned to come over and teach him magic.

However, Harry was a little confused. Sirius seemed worried that he would encounter danger in the third event of the Triwizard Tournament?

"It's no accident that your name appears in the Goblet of Fire. There have been no accidents so far. If someone really wants to do something, this is their last chance." Hermione frowned after reading Sirius's letter. Said, "Just, why is Sirius so sure that something unexpected will happen to the third project?"

"Don't you think it's cool?" Ron said excitedly: "Can we go with you then? I think Sirius is right. You should receive training and you can't go to the third party without preparation." For this project, even if it is not to compete for the championship, at least it can protect itself."

"Hermione, do you want to come too?" Harry looked at Hermione.

"Of course, let's get together then." Hermione nodded. She always felt that this matter was a bit abnormal, especially Sirius's letter, which seemed to confirm that Harry would be attacked.

Compared with Harry, Dumbledore was a little confused after receiving Sirius's letter, because Sirius wrote that he and Lupine planned to take time to come to Hogwarts on the weekend, hoping to train in the Forbidden Forest. Lee so that Harry can get through the third project smoothly. Sirius also secretly hinted to Dumbledore that there was no need to prepare additional professors for Harry.
