The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Friday, quarter past ten, in the Gryffindor common room.

Albert is sitting in the armchair by the fireplace, reading the manuscript of "Advanced Rune Translation" that Professor Rune gave him a few days ago.

Not far away, Angelina, who had finished her homework, was playing wizard cards with Arya, while Lee Jordan, who was always looking at the next card game, was doing her homework on astronomy under Shanna's guidance.

"I won this game." Angelina smiled as she packed up the wizard cards, looked at Lee Jordan who was still doing her homework next to her, and asked with a puzzled face, "Why haven't you finished it yet."

"Why don't you do your homework first, and then spend the rest of the time playing?" Arya couldn't understand Lee Jordan's thinking pattern.

Angelina covered her yawn and asked, "Sanna, are you going back to the dormitory to rest?"

"Go back first, I'm almost there." Shanna said, looking at the button in front of her. She wants to turn buttons into beetles, but turning non-living things into living things is much harder than turning living things into non-living things.

"Then let's go back to rest first." Arya put the wizard card back in her pocket and returned to the dormitory with her friend's hand.

"Failed again." Shanna sighed, looked up at Albert and asked, "Is there any way, or a trick?"

"Practice a lot." Albert said without hesitation.

"Oh, those words again," Shanna muttered. "What have you been looking at since just now?"

"The manuscript, the manuscript that Professor Babuling asked me to help her revise." After Albert finished marking, he stuffed the manuscript back into the bag.

"Professor Barblen?" Shanna hadn't heard the professor's name.

"Professor Rune." Albert reminded.

"Ancient Rune? I heard that the third grade has this elective course, what are you going to choose?" Shanna asked suddenly.

"Electives?" Lee Jordan asked curiously. "What electives?"

"Divination, protection of magical creatures, Muggle research, ancient rune, arithmetic divination." Albert quickly said five subjects, "I'm going to choose all."

"Select all, do you have enough time?" Shanna was very surprised.

"Enough, there is a way to give me plenty of time." Albert said with a smile.

"I heard from others that ancient Rune is difficult to learn." Shanna was a little confused whether she should choose Ancient Rune.

"Ancient Rune is like learning a foreign language.

"

"I remember that you are good at foreign languages." Lee Jordan looked at Albert with envy on his face, "I remember that you can speak French, and you just went to France for the summer vacation."

After a moment of hesitation, Shanna said, "If it's not particularly difficult, I want to choose all."

"What's easier?" Lee Jordan asked.

"Divination and Muggle research." Albert said without hesitation, "I heard it's two out of five."

"Why?" Lee Jordan continued.

"Divination requires talent. If you don't have talent, you are just messing around. It doesn't matter if you write homework." Albert picked up the teacup and sipped the cold milk tea. Can't figure out what batteries, TVs, light bulbs are?"

"Really?" Shanna asked in surprise.

"Do you know what a light bulb is?" Albert asked Lee Jordan next to him.

"Of course I do." Lee Jordan couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, "My family lives in the Muggle community, but some pure-blood wizards who are completely isolated from the Muggle world may really not know."

"It's hard to imagine." Shanna was very surprised.

"It's not hard to imagine," Albert teased, "like my father didn't know how slugs turned into potions, just like Fred and George's father didn't know what rubber ducks were for."

"Rubber... duck?" Shanna bit her lip to keep herself from laughing.

"I remember Albert giving Fred and George a rubber duck over the summer." Lee Jordan also remembered this.

"You're really..." Shanna finally couldn't help laughing, which immediately caught the suspicious eyes of many people, "...It was definitely intentional."

"By the way, what about Fred and George?" Albert silently looked at Shanna, who was smirking. He really couldn't understand what the other party's laughter was.

"You said the two bastards, Fred and George, they went to the kitchen." Lee Jordan said after thinking for a while, "I said I was hungry and wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat."

"Who are you calling a bastard!"

The voices of the two came from the entrance of the common room.

Lee Jordan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Fred and George walking towards them, both with a pie in their hands, eating as they walked.

"We worked hard to get you something to eat..." They walked over and couldn't help complaining, "Hum, I don't have your share."

"Cough, you heard it wrong." Lee Jordan coughed dryly and asked, "What's there to eat."

The few people next to him were holding back their laughter.

"You think we're deaf? Hmph, go away, you don't have a share of the pie." Fred scolded and laughed and pushed Lee Jordan away, while George next to him took out the oil-paper bag with the pie from the pocket of his robe, and took it out. The pie inside is distributed to Shanna.

"What pie?" Shanna asked curiously, taking the oil paper bag.

"Steak and kidney pie," George said.

She took a piece and handed the oil paper bag to Albert next to her.

Albert looked down at the steak and kidney pie in front of him, and to be honest, he had no appetite.

"Give it to Lee Jordan!" Albert handed the oiled paper bag to Lee Jordan.

"Don't give it to that bastard." Both Fred and George couldn't help complaining.

"It was given to me by Albert." Lee Jordan took the oiled paper bag and snorted softly, "It has nothing to do with you now."

"You guy."

"Aren't you going to eat?" Lee Jordan quickly changed the subject and asked Albert.

"No, I have no appetite." Albert shook his head.

"Or, I'll give you half?" Shanna said with a smile, "It's not advisable to eat too much at night."

Saying that, she actually split the steak and kidney patty in half and stuffed one half into Albert.

Albert was speechless for a while.

Steak and kidney pie is a traditional British food, probably!

This kind of thing has just been made, and it actually tastes good when it is hot, but when it is cold, the taste is not very good.

It's worse than the meat buns that have been completely cold.

Under the watchful eyes of several people, Albert took a bite of the steak and kidney pie, which tasted a little salty and a little subtle.

"Does it taste good?" George asked with a smile.

"I prefer to eat it while it's hot," Albert said.

During the chatter, the common room gradually disappeared, the wind rattled the windows, and the fire in the fireplace was about to go out.

"I'll prepare later..." Albert made a sly gesture to the few people who were playing wizard chess.

"What if I get caught?" Lee Jordan was a little worried. "Last time, William Night Tour was caught, and the angry Professor McGonagall made him brush the chamber pot for several days. I don't want to get a little prince of chamber pot or something. nickname."

"The little prince of the night pot?"

"In the Muggle world, there is a prince named William." Albert explained with a smile, "I remember he only brushed it once last year."

"More than once." Fred said with a smile.

"It's not important!" Lee Jordan looked helpless, he was really worried that Ye You would be caught.

"Don't worry, we won't be caught." Fred and George looked at each other, blinked and said in unison, "You have to have confidence in Albert."

"What are you going to do with your night tour?" Lee Jordan asked in a low voice.

"Go to the forbidden area to find books, remember Snape's ability to see through other people's thoughts?" Albert whispered, "It is indeed a kind of magic called Legilimency, I plan to go to the library to ban books Look for books that can counter this magic."

"When are we going?" Lee Jordan asked excitedly.

"Don't you want to go?" Fred couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"I also want to learn this kind of magic." Lee Jordan said excitedly, "What's more, if you are caught, everyone will be unlucky together, what are you afraid of."

"No one can catch us." George snorted softly, "However, I don't think you can learn that Legilimency either."

"How will you know if you don't try it."

"It's really hard to read Legilimency." Albert coldly poured cold water on Lee Jordan, which made Fred and George burst into laughter.
