This gathering is not only an academic exchange, but also to strengthen the relationship between everyone and expand their contacts. To a certain extent, it is the enhanced version of the slug club of Professor Horace Slughorn in the Half-Blood Prince. .

Professor Broad asked the house-elves to prepare a sumptuous dinner, and Albert was also fortunate to taste the delicacies of other countries. Obviously, more than one house-elves were busy in the kitchen, and a lot of food was brought to the table.

Of course, when it comes to European cuisine, most people will think of France and Italy. In fact, most of the food on the table comes from these two countries.

At this small banquet, Albert turned into a small transparent, silently eating food, listening to everyone talking about interesting things in the magic world.

For example, some of the shady things about the British Minister of Magic election, Cornelius Fudge becoming Minister of Magic is not at all an accident as it seems.

Many people are optimistic about Barty Crouch's appointment as Minister of Magic, but in order to combat him, many wizards use the fact that his son Barty Jr. is a Death Eater to discredit him.

Later, as everyone knows, Dumbledore declined the invitation of the Minister of Magic, and finally Fudge, who befriended the pure-blood wizard, got the position of Minister of Magic.

However, to discredit Barty Crouch, Fudge is one of them.

"Mr. Anderson, what do you think of this?" Professor Broad looked at Albert who was eating.

After putting down his fork and wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, Albert said calmly, "Barty Crouch is Barty Crouch, his son is his son, and no matter what his son does, it cannot be wiped away. Go to what Barty Crouch once did."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Professor Broad was probably a little surprised to get such an answer, but he was obviously satisfied.

"Of course, you can't expect everyone to have rational judgment, most people are easily influenced by the outside world." Albert suddenly said, "If Harry Potter, who defeated You-Know-Who suddenly announced to everyone that You-Know-Who is still alive, Live, what will happen?"

what will happen?

Everyone would have thought their savior had gone mad.

"Don't mention this to others." Professor Broad reminded kindly, "People in the magical world can't accept this fact, they will only try their best to deny it."

This was said to Albert, reminding him that there was no need to cause trouble for himself.

"Obvious.

"Albert shrugged and continued to immerse himself in the food he had not tried.

Adolf appropriately diverted the topic and talked about the recent bad news at Durmstrang Academy. The new principal, Igor Karkaroff, made the school's reputation even worse, and many parents of students put their own The child was picked up from school and transferred to Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Nelson told everyone the latest news he got, because some students copied the Grindelwald logo on their textbooks, on their clothes, and tried to use it to scare others, but those who lost loved ones because of Grindelwald taught them some lessons.

"I read about this school in books. It is said that Durmstrang College is popular with black magic and does not accept Muggle wizards." Albert asked curiously, "By the way, what is Grindelwald's mark?" He asked knowingly.

"Actually, it's not Grindelwald's mark, and ignorant people think that way." Nelson used his wand to draw the mark of the Deathly Hallows, which looked like a triangular eye with a vertical line in the middle of the pupil.

He shook his head helplessly and said, "This mark comes from the legend of the three brothers, Mr. Anderson, have you heard of the legend of the three brothers?"

"The legend of the three brothers in "The Story of Bedouin the Poet"?" Albert nodded and said he had read it.

"Yes, the triangle symbolizes the invisibility cloak, the circle symbolizes the resurrection stone, and the vertical symbolizes the wand." Adolf explained, "The legend of the three brothers is actually very famous in our circle, and everyone thinks that those legendary items are the products of alchemy."

"Why did Grindelwald use it as a marker?" Albert continued.

"We think Grindelwald has found the legendary item," explained Professor Broad. "Of course, this cannot be proven. There are many legends in the wizarding world, and some of them may deviate from the original facts, but Not without basis."

"It's like a magic stone that can make people elixir of life?" Albert smiled and didn't deny anything, because he knew more than others, and Grindelwald did get the elder wand.

When everyone talked about the recently released list of banned trade by the British Ministry of Magic,

Claude recommended to them his kind and helpful friend, Mr. Delacour, who was working for the magic garden, and occasionally came to work as a raw material supplier, and said that he could help everyone to introduce him if needed.

The Magic Garden is a good place, and there are many rare magic plants in it, which are available in limited quantities.

Of course, this Mr. Delacour is most noteworthy for having a wife of Veela blood, and his daughter, who attended Beauxbatons, was also very good.

Adolf even jokingly said that Albert's French is very good, you can try to make a French pen pal.

Before the banquet was about to end, everyone focused on Albert and were surprised to learn that he was "Mabo".

"What is Mabo?" Albert asked sideways.

"'Mumbo' is an ancient term for a wizard of Muggle descent, an affectionate name." Mr. Smith, ignoring the oddities on the faces of the crowd, explained to Albert, "The 1692 International Wizarding This designation was very popular before the Federation Secrecy Act came into effect."

"Many people may have forgotten that before the implementation of the International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy Act, most wizards believed that Muggle-born wizards were much more talented than wizards from pure wizarding families." Professor Broad reminded kindly. them. "Later, wizards began to stop believing in Muggles, and pure-blood supremacy began to spread, and this title was gradually abandoned by people."

"Of course, ancestry discrimination does not exist here. What everyone pays more attention to is wisdom and ability." Adolf said softly. He doesn't deny Brod's words, but that's the state of the wizarding world.

However, everyone present could see that Albert would not be excluded because of his identity, because he had made friends with many famous wizards, and a large number of wizards would be willing to escort him.

It can't be said that the vast majority of wizards pay attention to blood, but in front of real geniuses, everything seems to be less important.

After all, knowledge and ability are more worthy of respect.

A lot has been said since Albert would be invited here to the party.
