The Alchemist of Harry Potter

More and more Hogwarts students know about the game Witcher's Cards since the last Witcher's Card Club promotion. Several students even expressed their desire to have cards unique to their own academies, and were willing to join the Wizards Card Club to help Albert design brand new cards.

This is conducive to the promotion of wizard cards. As long as wizard cards enter other academies, the number of players will definitely be gradually expanded. Albert believes that it will not be long before more and more students will like this card game, which is easy to learn, has various ways to play, and can freely design various strategies.

At present, the biggest problem with wizard cards is the number of players. As long as everyone is playing wizard cards, other people will definitely be curious and follow the trend. Albert believes that the charm of wizard cards can conquer everyone.

However, the design and manufacture of cards is still a hassle. While Fred, George and Lee Jordan were all helping him as much as possible, most of the time it was still up to Albert to do it himself.

Having said that, there are really a lot of things that I need to worry about.

The design and manufacture of wizard cards, the magic training and homework of various courses, frequent correspondence with other wizards, the routine of borrowing books from the library every week, and the research on perfecting the protective bracelet is still going on. There is currently no progress in the research on Wen casting spells. The manuscripts written for "Transfiguration Today" are also academically researched by the Magic Spell Club. They occasionally take time to practice Patronus spells, and look for books related to Occlumency in the forbidden book area.

Filch was brooding about what happened last semester, and he stepped up the nighttime patrols of the castle as soon as school started. Snape would occasionally help patrol, so that Albert would directly dispel the idea of ​​visiting the forbidden book area in the middle of the night.

He didn't want to be the next unlucky one who got caught on a night out, and by the way, Gryffindor with fifty points deducted went straight to the bottom.

If you insist on anything good recently, it is probably Albert's small breakthrough in ancient Rune!

Professor Bathcida Babling is indeed an expert in this field and has high attainments in the field of ancient Rune.

Every Tuesday afternoon, Albert would go to Professor Babuling's ancient rune improvement class, and stay after the class to exchange ancient rune with Professor Babuling.

Not long ago, they also studied, analyzed, and discussed McDoug's "Basic Rune Complete Solution" and "Advanced Rune Research" together, and Albert's Rune experience also increased rapidly.

Today, Albert's Rune experience is more than half of Level 2.

Although Professor Barbring is the Rune Professor at Hogwarts, she doesn't actually live in the castle herself and only has five classes a week.

There are only four students in the Ancient Rune Advanced Class, two Ravenclaw, one Slytherin, one Hufflepuff, and Albert who came to visit.

Originally, Ancient Rune was an elective course for the third grade, and even fewer students could pass O·W·Ls with good grades. There are only two or three kittens in the advanced class.

Of course, the ancient rune is not the worst, and there is no advanced class for Muggle studies at all.

A good O.w.Ls certificate in Muggle Studies will allow you to work as a Muggle liaison at the Ministry of Magic.

As for the advanced classes for divination, mathematical divination and protection of magical biology, the number of people is also pitiful, and there are very few who can really learn something from the advanced class and use it after graduation.

After graduating from school, it is not uncommon for careers and majors to be incompatible.

After the get out of class bell rang, several people greeted each other and left.

Albert did not leave, he would stay and continue the last exchange with Professor Babu Ling.

"How do you feel?" Professor Babbling asked gently. This is the advantage of being an excellent student. The relationship between the two is actually pretty good.

"It's okay, the content of the class is not difficult, I have mastered most of it." Albert flipped through the notes and said.

"You should already have the level of N·E·W·T." Professor Babbling sighed softly. Although some people have the talent to learn ancient rune, but the talent like Albert, it is also the first time that Professor Babuling was stunned.

"The difficulty is lower than I thought." Albert said.

"N.E.W.T is really not that difficult." Professor Babbling explained, "What is difficult is how to go further in this area after graduating from Hogwarts, we only learn the tip of the iceberg, like Mike After all, there are only a few people who have studied as deeply as Mr. Doug."

Albert nodded and admitted that he couldn't tell from the fact that few "Advanced Rune Research" could fully understand it.

Footsteps sounded outside the corridor of the ancient classroom on the sixth floor, and someone knocked on the door.

Isobel pushed open the door and walked in. She was also good at ancient runes, and she had McDoug's connection, and Professor Barbring allowed her to participate in this extra exchange outside of class.

Professor Babbling waved his wand, and several people's favorite refreshments and cookies appeared on the table. This was not a serious class, but a good atmosphere for communication.

Sitting on the comfortable sofa to enjoy afternoon tea, and having two classes in a row, Professor Babuling was also a little tired.

The topic started after the three of them finished their first cup of afternoon tea.

"The topic we are studying today is the divination of runes."

"I remember that there seems to be a divination class in the third grade, and it seems to teach how to use runes for divination?" Albert looked up at Isobel and asked, "Did you choose a divination class?"

However, Albert already guessed the answer after seeing the change in the expression on the other's face. Obviously, this Ravenclaw genius is very similar to Professor McGonagall, and thinks that choosing a divination class is a waste of effort.

"I don't have that kind of talent." Isobel picked up the teacup and took a sip, glanced at Albert and said lightly, "Maybe, you will."

"Sybil is good at this, and I specially invited her to come over." Professor Babuling saw that the two seemed not very interested in runes divination, so he said, "Rune divination is an ancient British divination. It is said that it is very accurate, but there are not many wizards who really know how to interpret the divination of runes. Fortunately, Sybil has some research in this area."

Albert couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard the words, and said in simple words, "I heard... divination requires talent, and only a few people have that kind of talent."

As far as he knew, most of the students would choose divination classes purely to mess around, and they didn't care if they could get good grades in OWLs.

After graduation, there are almost zero wizards who will be engaged in divination. After all, a fortune-teller with no ability to predict is no different from a liar, and no one would welcome such a liar.

Sybill Trelawney does have the ability to predict the future, but her ability is uncontrollable, and she can't make predictions through a crystal ball like other fortune-tellers, and directly see certain fragments of prophecy.

"Sybill should have such ability." Professor Babbling was also not sure. She knew that her friend had the ability to predict. After all, she was the great-great-granddaughter of the famous fortune-teller Cassandra Trelawney. Abilities are often passed down through the bloodline.

While the three were chatting around ancient runes, runes and runes, the door of the ancient rune classroom was knocked again, and the people the three of them were talking about appeared outside the door.

This is Albert's first close encounter with Sybill Trelawney.

It was a very thin woman, wearing a pair of big glasses, with a bunch of chains and beads hanging around her neck. She looked a little crazy, maybe she just didn't want people to find out.

"Oh, Basilda, I hope I'm not too late." Trelawney stuck her head into the classroom, her eyes falling on Albert and Isobel.

"I mentioned it to you." Professor Babbling invited Professor Trelawney into the classroom with a smile, and the relationship between the two was really good, "We are studying runes for divination, I think you can definitely help in this regard. You are very busy, after all, you are an expert in this field."

"Oh, rune divination, this is an ancient knowledge, and there are very few wizards who are really good at this kind of divination." Trelawney walked in, sat next to Professor Baabling, and obeyed He took out a delicate bag from his pocket, "... Now, I will only briefly mention in the divination class that predicting the future from tea residues and crystal balls is easier for most students, at least they can compare books Find the answer. Of course, students who don't have the "Tianmu" talent can only do this in this subject."

Professor Trelawney is right in what he said. Divination requires talent. If you don't have talent and you can't predict, you will only be regarded as a liar and won't get any respect.

Trelawney opened the delicate bag and poured out the runes inside. She reached out and stroked the symbol on it. She said "thank you" to Professor Babelin who brought the tea to her, and continued: "Everything." The symbols on the runes tell the stories and mysteries contained in the symbols of ancient writing...and can also be used to seek the desired results."

Albert bit a cookie, listened to Trelawney's chatter quietly, and smiled at Isobel who frequently drank black tea, who seemed a little restless, and she obviously didn't believe Trelawney's nonsense.

"Hold the bag with the runes in the palm of your hand, and meditate on your own problems. You also need to meditate." Trelawney nagged, as she put the runes back in the bag, "Remember, stay ethereal. state, follow the instinct to feel the force of nature, and then take a rune from the bag and put it in the palm of your hand."

Albert and Isobel looked at each other, and they could see the twitches at the corners of their mouths, but they didn't say anything.

"Why don't you test it out, which one of you will come first." Professor Babbling said.

"Ladies first!" Albert gestured towards Isobel.

"No, you go first." Isobel didn't actually believe this prophecy.

"Okay!" Albert took the bag containing the runes, meditated on the question in his mind, and then meditated, keeping his thoughts as ethereal as possible.

He reached out and took out the runes from the bag and placed them in the palm of his hand.

"What's your problem?" Trelawney asked.

"Future fortune." Albert said without hesitation.

"I think you are very talented in divination." Trelawney walked over to Albert and said suddenly.

"Thank you." Albert responded politely.

"It's a positive Fehu." Trelawney glanced at the runes on Albert's palm with a strange expression, "Fehu itself represents wealth and material gain, which means Your fortune is very good, it represents some form of success, as long as you hold the things in your hand, you can achieve success and overcome the difficulties encountered during the period."

"My wealth has always been good." Albert said inexplicably. Put the runes back in the bag and hand the bag to Isobel.

"I want to know, will I be in trouble in the near future?" Isobel said his question lightly, and then took out a rune from the bag.

"Reverse EIHWAZ" Trelawney glanced at the runes in Isobel's hand, "This is an obvious warning, warning you to be careful... This is not a good sign ."
