The Alchemist of Harry Potter

"You made that bet with Katrina last time, isn't that what it was for?" Isobel looked at Albert with an increasingly weird expression, completely ignorant of what the guy in front of him was trying to do?

"Ah, you actually guessed it!" Albert pretended to be surprised. Of course, this clumsy performance was naturally hidden from Isobel's eyes.

The latter didn't say anything, just looked at Albert calmly, as if to say to him: you go on, I'm watching from the side.

"Cough, okay. Actually, I'm just chasing Katrina. It's just that your sister is too stubborn, and she probably won't give up easily if you don't let her win once." Albert gave another reason casually.

In other words, in front of other people's sisters saying that they are going to chase her sister, it seems, seems to be a little... exciting. Well, Albert did want to see how Isobel would react.

Isobel's expression was very complicated, and there was no expected anger or other too intense emotional reaction, but said faintly: "I don't mind you chasing Katrina. However, it's still too early for Katrina. It's too early to tell!"

"Why?" Albert couldn't help but blurted out.

Of course, I'm not asking why it's too early, I'm asking Isobel to agree, and she seems to agree with her chasing her sister, which is... too strange. At least, in Albert's eyes, it was too strange.

Little kids know shit about love.

If there was a 12- or 13-year-old kid who wanted to pursue his sister, Albert would have to punch out the other person's shit.

"Because Katrina's mentality is not mature enough." Isobel looked up at Albert and answered the question directly, "Your mentality is mature enough, but Katrina is not mature enough, which is not good for you. Fall in love now."

"As for, why would I agree?" Isobel looked at Albert, she sometimes felt that this guy's thinking was very different.

"Why?" Albert was a little curious about the reason.

"After all, you are the best student in Hogwarts school, no one." Isobel's words were a direct acknowledgement of Albert's talent and ability.

In fact, he was right. Albert is indeed the most outstanding student in the entire academy. After all, no one has a plug-in companion like him.

"Cough cough,

I was just joking. The expression on Albert's face was a little stiff, and he smiled awkwardly at the other side.

"I know, I can see it." Isobel nodded, not angry because of it, but found it interesting.

Since you know how to say things like that, are you implying that I agree to go after your sister?

Albert suddenly had a strange feeling: It turns out that his three views have not been completely assimilated with this world!

Still retaining the ideas of the previous generation, no wonder it sometimes makes him look a little out of place.

"However, ten Galleons, you are very generous!" Isobel sighed and said, "Thank you for that. I haven't seen Katrina so happy for a long time."

"Knowledge is always precious, and to a certain extent, I don't suffer!" Albert raised his hand and shook the note on the Eagle Ring Riddle, "One day I collected the Eagle Ring Riddle that I collected. Organize it into a book, let alone ten Galleons, you can earn a hundred Galleons, and you will definitely be able to return to your original book.”

Isobel felt more and more that Albert's thinking was strange, but his ideas were not wrong. Knowledge was precious, and it was indeed possible to do so, but many people didn't think about it.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here, and I'll tell you what I found after entering the secret room later." Isobel brought the topic back again, pulled a chair to the side, and looked at Abe quietly. To knock on the door to answer the eagle ring riddle.

To be honest, the rest of the riddles are not difficult, at least not difficult for Albert. It’s like brushing the questions. Below the riddle. After he confirmed on the quest panel that he had completed "The Greedy Predator", his mood suddenly became happier, but Albert did not rush to receive the quest reward, but pushed open the door of the secret room to meet Eze, who had been waiting beside him for a long time. Bell goes in together.

"What secret have you discovered?" Albert walked to the wall, reached out and brushed the ancient rune on the wall, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"What about you? What did you find?" Isobel didn't answer immediately, but asked aloud.

"You speak first, then I speak." Albert made a gesture of please speak.

"Well, you know Ravenclaw's riddle of the eagle ring, right." Isobel walked to Albert's side, stared at the ancient rune on the wall, and said softly: "We need to answer the riddle of the eagle ring to enter. "

Albert raised his eyebrows, but still listened quietly to Isobel to continue.

"It's like the first threshold outside," Isobel looked sideways at Albert and continued: "If you answer wrong, you have to wait for someone else to answer right, so that you can learn knowledge, this is LaVine Crowe."

"Learn knowledge? So, do you think Ravenclaw hopes that the latecomers who enter the Chamber of Secrets will learn knowledge?" Albert immediately grasped the key, not because of the hint given by Isobel, but because Albert also thought about it. This issue.

"Yes, you are really smart. You figured it out all at once. This is my discovery." Isobel nodded and asked, "What about your discovery?"

"Ancient Rune. Maybe, Ravenclaw hopes that we can master the correct use of ancient Rune." Albert brushed the words on the wall between his fingers and said to himself, "It is said that the rune script is A magical script, however, which is clearly beyond our comprehension of runes."

There was an eerie silence in the secret room.

"Is the purpose of Professor Smith coming to Hogwarts really to find Ravenclaw's secret room?" Albert spoke again to break the silence, and asked Isobel his doubts.

"Why do you have such an idea?" Isobel was a little surprised, looking up and down Albert.

"I don't know, it's an intuition. Although Professor Smith has shown enough curiosity about Ravenclaw's secret room, but..." Albert frowned and said, "I don't think Professor Smith is risking this in Hokkaido for this matter. There should be other reasons for Gwartz to teach."

"You think I know something inside?"

"Yes, I think you should know a lot."

"You want to know?" Isobel didn't deny it, but asked instead, she really knew something.

"Well." Albert nodded.

"Well, it's okay to tell you, it's also about you anyway."

"It's about me?"

"It should be said that it has something to do with an inheritance of the Smith family, or it doesn't have to be the Smith family. Anyway, it is a matter of inheritance." Isobel didn't seem very happy to talk about this matter.

"I think you may have misunderstood. I am a Muggle wizard and come from a Muggle family." Albert reminded kindly.

"Muggle wizard? No, I don't think you're just a pure Muggle wizard," Isobel shook his head in denial, and was quite sure of his own judgment, "Professor Broad and Uncle Mog McDougall You're not being helped just because you're a genius."

"Why do you say this..." Albert was surprised, although he actually thought it was a bit strange, Professor Broad obviously had the idea of ​​​​cultivating himself.

"Because of your situation, I have also experienced it. To a certain extent, you are a copy of me. Don't get me wrong, I mean something." Isobel's face became more gloomy, and Abel said Te talked about some childhood memories, "Since my father died, Professor Broad and Uncle Mog, and some of my father's friends have taken good care of me and my family, and thanks to their help, I have We had a pretty good childhood with Katrina."

"I was considered a genius from a very young age." The girl continued with a bit of irony in her tone, "Before I was considered a genius, they were not so enthusiastic."

"You hate them?"

"No, it's not annoying. I'm actually very grateful to them. Thanks to their help, my childhood was quite pleasant." Isobel shook his head and said, "Later, my situation was similar to yours now, and they seemed to be Doing my best to train me is like cultivating a…”

"Heir?"

"Yes, heir." Isobel didn't deny it, but nodded and continued, "At first, I didn't pay too much attention to these things, I just thought it was a little strange. Later, I read my father's diary..."

"As far as I know, my father and Professor Rowena Smith had a similar experience." Isobel turned his head to prevent Albert from meeting his eyes, "Now you have met again, you Why do you think this is?"

"My situation is similar to yours?" Albert said without hesitation, "Because I'm also a genius?"

"Not only that, although you are also a genius, it is definitely not for this reason." Isobel shook his head and said, "They are still trying to help you achieve further achievements."

"So, you must have a blood connection with the Smith family?"

"I'm a Muggle wizard." Albert reminded with a half-smile.

"I know, but it doesn't mean that your family is necessarily Muggle, they may also be Squibs, or wizards living in the Muggle world, they must be traced back to a certain generation, and may be related to that family, otherwise you will not be selected ."

Come on, I guessed it right!

Albert could feel his heart beat faster.

This guy is really not easy!

"Oh!" Albert pretended to know nothing, answered noncommittally, shook his head and said, "What else?"

"There is no love for no reason in the world," Isobel reminded.

"That's true. By the way, you seem to know a lot of things?" Albert looked at Isobel again and frowned deeply, "But I don't think they will tell you these things, that is, Say, the things you said are all conjectured by yourself, or derived from some places, but I think the former is more likely, how did you do it, I don't think about it, but why do you Tell me? As you said, there is no love for no reason in the world, are you going to use me? Or do you want me to help you?"

Isobel fell into a brief silence after hearing the words, and seemed to be hesitating whether to let Albert know more.

Albert took advantage of this spare time to glance at the new mission. Although he had already guessed some things, what happened to the heir.

ancient secret.

You seem to be involved in something involving an ancient family, and you have become a candidate for the heir inexplicably, and it is necessary to find out what is going on.

Reward: 2000 experience, Isobel McDoug's opinion +10.

Albert stared at the task panel, feeling a little surprised, did not expect that his favorability would increase?

"Tell me what you know, if you need me to do something." Albert made a gesture of invitation to the girl.

"Actually, I don't know too much. I only know that it is for a certain heir's place. More precisely, it should be to compete for a certain surname. People know these things."

"Heir, surname?" Albert raised his eyebrows a little, he naturally knew that he was related to the Smith family, but he didn't expect this matter to fall on his own head.

"Every Smith has that opportunity? Or, every man of that pedigree has that opportunity?"

"It shouldn't be. I feel that the places should be selected. As far as I know, my sister Katrina was not selected." Isobel shook his head and said.

"Is she really pitiful?" Albert curled his lips and asked curiously, "How can you be sure?"

"She didn't have much contact with Professor Broad and Uncle Mog, and she was not introduced to other famous wizards." Isobel continued: "Our situation is similar. Of course, it is undeniable that you are better than me in some ways. more genius."

"Do you care about this matter?" Albert asked rhetorically.

"No." Isobel didn't lie, she didn't really care about being the so-called heir.

"Your father was also one of the candidates for the heir?" Albert thought of Professor Smith's Boggart, and had some bad premonitions.

"Well, I think so." Isobel whispered.

"You think I'm one of them, and you're looking for an ally?" Albert thought he had guessed the answer, which was very likely. "By the way, what benefits can I get?"

"Should be able to inherit a large sum of Galleons." Isobel said without thinking, "Old families are usually very rich."

"Do you think I'm someone who will be short of Galleon? Even if it's missing Galleon, don't you think I can't earn Galleon? Why fight for that ridiculous inheritance?" Albert snorted impatiently. Cut off, "To be honest, I'm quite disgusted to be involved in any family dispute, what's more, I have nothing to do with the Smith family, and, even if it is related, is it possible that you are going to give me the right of inheritance?"

Isobel fell into a brief silence, then nodded towards Albert.

"To be honest, I'm also quite disgusted by this." Isobel didn't hide his disgust, and continued: "My sister and mother are more important than these damn inheritance rights."

"Why don't you just give up?" Albert asked rhetorically.

"Don't you think this is funny?" Isobel's expression became even weirder. "Do you expect me to go to Uncle Mog to say this directly? What do you think he will think? Honestly pretend to know nothing. , that is the wisest choice.”

"Okay, you're right." Albert nodded in acknowledgement.

"However, the inheritance you're talking about has something to do with Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets?"

"I don't know." Isobel shook his head and said, "I'm still looking for a way to solve it, but I'm still blocked here. Tell me about your discovery!"

"Well, you think I was lying just now?" Albert asked rhetorically.

"At least not completely telling the truth." Isobel said.

"Well, according to what you said earlier, Ravenclaw prefers people to learn actively, just like the eagle ring riddle, although some people can get the answer with their own wisdom, but that's only a few, most people still have to learn ." Albert's fingers crossed the line on the wall "Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wealth of mankind".

"Those who want to pass here and get treasure from Ravenclaw's secret room need to master what Ravenclaw wants us to master in this secret room... Ancient Rune!"

"So, you didn't lie, you just kept some secrets."

"No, it's just that you didn't notice it yourself, or you noticed it but didn't want to admit it. You should have discovered it when you were studying ancient runes. Ancient runes are just an ancient script." Albert reached out and brushed over it. The text, "I think you need to understand how to really use them, in order to pass this level set by Ravenclaw and enter the next level, but when we find that we really master it, it means that we get Ravenclaw treasure, it's Ravenclaw, isn't it?"

"Knowledge is sometimes a kind of wealth." Isobel suddenly smiled, smiling happily.

"Yes, this is very Ravenclaw, and it echoes the saying that extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wealth of mankind." She said softly, "Are you going to tell Professor Smith about this?"

"Why not? But I don't think he can open the hidden room either. Maybe he can go to Headmaster Dumbledore for help, but what's the use of that? If he opens it, he just enters the next room. He will still I found nothing." Albert curled his lips and said, "Of course, maybe in the secret room, you can find some of Ravenclaw's legacy, such as the disappearing crown."

"Ravenclaw's crown? I don't think you put your wisdom on that thing!"

"I just said it casually! In other words, Professor Smith is a bit pitiful. The treasure in the secret room that he was looking forward to is actually like this."

Albert shrugged and didn't pay much attention to this matter. Is Professor Smith pitiful?

Who knows!

"You may be the next person to open the secret room." Isobel leaned against the wall and couldn't help but sighed. After all, Albert's ancient rune level is far superior to them, and although she has learned well, she is only just getting started.

The two chatted about trivial matters for a while, and Isobel suddenly said, "It's ten o'clock, and Professor Smith should be coming soon."

"Is he coming here?" Albert asked with a wrinkle.

"Yeah, I made an appointment yesterday, you should stay too, just study the ancient rune at that time." Isobel seemed to be in a good mood: "When he comes, tell him your previous guess! "

"okay!"

About ten minutes later, there was another sound outside the secret room, the door was opened from the outside, and Professor Smith walked in. His eyes fell on Albert, and he seemed a little surprised that the other party was here.

"You're here too, that's just right..." Professor Smith greeted Albert with a smile.

"Professor Smith, I had a discussion with Isobel just now..." Albert hurriedly interrupted, and immediately told Professor Smith what he and Isobel had guessed.

After a long silence, Professor Smith sighed deeply and said bitterly: "It's very possible what you said, so that explains why this is the case here."

Maybe, what I shouldn't have told him, most of the time the truth is more cruel than the lie.

Professor Smith took a few deep breaths, suppressed his emotions, reached out and patted Albert on the shoulder: "You are the only one of us who can open the secret room, I hope you can work harder and wait. After you officially open it, just remember to let me know, I have paid so much, I don't want myself to still be unclear in the end, it is too cruel."

After speaking, Professor Smith turned around and left a little lonely, his back was desolate, and he seemed to have aged several years at once.
