Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 256 What's the situation

   "Albert is not only a genius in the field of language, but also good in other fields."

A voice came from the entrance of the hall. Wearing a trench coat, it was Gerber Smith, whom Albert had met once, who strolled in, "I have read that he has published papers in several academic journals, It’s a field that embarrasses most self-proclaimed geniuses.”

   "Including you." The French old man tilted his head and asked.

   "Including me." Gerber Smith admitted quite simply.

  Albert was very speechless, he is not a person who likes to brag about himself, although with the help of the panel, he can indeed pretend to be a genius.

   But Albert is a humble person and never likes to brag about himself, although it sounds very useful.

   "Son, what are you best at?"

  Finally someone present couldn't stand it anymore, and asked Albert.

   "What are you best at?" Albert was stunned for a moment, thought carefully and replied: "At present, it should be ancient runes. I have spent a lot of time and experience on it."

   This time, Albert spoke using ancient runes.

The other wizards here automatically ignored 'and experience', because they really didn't understand what it meant, and Albert's skillful tone, even wizards who are familiar with ancient runes may not be as good as Albert fluent.

   "It has something to do with alchemy. However, it is still biased towards language." The old man with a monocle and gloves introduced himself to Albert, "Metalsmith, Yeron Bald, the maker of the Snitch."

   "Hello, Mr. Yeron Bald." Albert shook hands with the other party.

"If, I mean, if you are interested in metalworking after graduation, you can consider becoming my apprentice. It is not easy to find a suitable apprentice now." Yeron Bald said to Albert with a smile, " It's a promising career and we've been delivering a brand new Snitch for the Quidditch game."

"I heard that the Snitch was never touched by bare skin before it was released, and it was made with gloves on." Albert asked, "When there is controversy in the game, it can identify the first person by itself. someone who touched it?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Anderson, it seems that you are not ignorant of making golden snitches." Balder winked at Albert and said happily, "If you are interested, you can write to me letter."

   "Balder, are you planning to dig a corner?"

  Suddenly, a voice finally couldn't help interrupting their conversation.

"This is the first time we have met, Mr. Anderson. I am Serra Harrises. We have exchanged letters several times before." Serra Harrises stepped forward to shake Albert's hand, He looked at Yeron Bald with a smile. Although they were all experts in alchemy, most of them were involved in different fields.

   "Hello, Mr. Selah Harrisis, nice to meet you in person." Albert reached out to shake hands with Selah Harrisis. At this moment, everyone understood that the relationship was prepared by themselves, and it was brought to show off to everyone, and by the way, let Albert show his face in the circle.

   "We just chatted speculatively." Yeron Bald was not angry, and said to Harrisis with a smile.

   "By the way, this year is so rare!" Serra Harrisis changed the topic and sat down beside Albert, next to him was Gerber Smith.

   "It's very little. But, that's it now, so it doesn't matter." Professor Broad continued the topic.

   "Speaking of which, Niko didn't even come." Selah Harrisis frowned and said, "He told me last time that he would come to participate."

   "Who told Gobalot to tease the formula of his elixir last time?"

"He fooled us with a fake formula." Although Gobalot said this, he didn't take it seriously. Although they were very interested in the Philosopher's Stone, they didn't really want to pay attention to it. But Nicole's lifeline, let alone whether he can get it, if he really does it, then there is no need to mess around.

   What's more, Nicole Flamel has lived for centuries, and he is also a very powerful wizard. His residence is protected by layers, and finally there is a barrier of the Fidelity Curse. The secret keeper is their old friend Dumbledore.

  Besides, to get the Philosopher's Stone, you have to be able to configure the elixir of life.

   "Nico has encountered some troubles recently and cannot come for the time being." Professor Broad explained helplessly.

   I'm curious as to who could be causing him trouble. "Another French old man asked.

   "Mysterious man!" Professor Broad said in a low voice.

   "Isn't the devil who can't even mention his name already dead?"

   For Voldemort, everyone here showed disgust. In the last wizarding war, many acquaintances were innocently involved and died.

"Dumbledore said that the devil whose name cannot be mentioned may still be alive." Professor Broad frowned deeply, "He must have his own basis, although this is not very pleasant news. "

  The shadow of the Dark Lord also hangs over everyone here (except Albert), and no one wants to recall the unpleasant past.

   "He's eyeing the Sorcerer's Stone." Harrises frowned, "Do you want to use the Sorcerer's Stone to make a comeback?"

   This is not good news.

   "He won't succeed." Professor Broad comforted, "It is well known that the devil whose name cannot be mentioned is afraid of Dumbledore..."

  To be honest, Albert was surprised when he heard the news, because he guessed what was going on.

   Isn’t this the plot of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone? Voldemort asked Quirrell to help him steal the Philosopher's Stone to sustain his life.

  However, Quirrell's strength is really not very good.

  Nicole is undoubtedly safe, even the mysterious man can't get Nicol's hiding place from Dumbledore!

  They all know that Dumbledore is Nicolas May's secret keeper.

  Under the protection of the Fidelity Curse, no one can easily enter Nico's hiding place, even if he squeezes his nose on the window of Nico's house.

   "I think Nicole must be unhappy, so he can't go out to see the opera!"

   "I think Muggle opera performances are quite boring. I went to see them with Nicole a long time ago..." The man was about to make some more complaints when he was interrupted by Professor Brod's light cough.

   "Okay, let's not talk about that, since everyone is here, let's start!" Professor Broad asked with a smile, "Who will come first?"

  At this moment, Albert was a little dazed, what comes first? Why didn't anyone tell me what's going on?
