Chapter 245： Accident and necessity

In the last week of the semester, the sky suddenly cleared, and the wind and snow that lasted for several days seemed to be wiped away by a pair of invisible hands. The winter sun was sprayed on the round table in front of the bed through the window covered with morning frost.

Albert looked at the clear sky, and his heart became better. He covered a yawn, sat back in the armchair, and read the eagle ring riddle recorded last time by the sunlight outside the window. Albert is going to take advantage of everyone’s free time in Hogsmeade to complete the "greedy predator" task on the task panel and try to answer more than a hundred eagle ring riddles, which is really not for Albert now. What a difficult thing.

Especially after drinking Buffy Brain Rejuvenant, completing the task of "expanding the brain" and acquiring new skills and active thinking.

Active thinking is another wonderful skill. Unlike other skills, it cannot be upgraded.

Yes, active thinking cannot be upgraded. To a certain extent, this is a tasteless one, but it is undeniable that after gaining active thinking, Albert's brain has indeed become more flexible, and his instant memory is super strong, and some things have changed. It has to be more sensitive to smell, just like taking a small amount of Buffy refreshing agent.

Perhaps the so-called genius is like this!

Albert always felt that one day, this fake genius of himself might be able to become a real genius through skill accumulation.

"Are you really not going to Hogsmeade with us?" Fred asked again. He felt that the lack of one person in the foursome would lack a lot of fun.

"No, I have something else to do today, and there are two replies to write." Albert thought for a while and said, "When I come back, bring me a bottle of Butterbeer and the sweets on the list."

"Well, see you this afternoon, we will bring you back a bunch of candies!" After Lee Jordan greeted Albert, he began to count the coins in his purse.

"A big dung egg!" George said suddenly.

"Thank you, I don't need that stuff." Albert said badly.

"But we know who needs it!" Fred winked at Albert mischievously.

"Who? You?" Albert asked back.

"No, it's Peeppy. Its relationship with Filch is not very good. We don't mind giving Peeppy a few big dung eggs so that it can trouble Filch!" George said mischievously, "We It has been agreed with Pippi."

"Why did you meet Filch again?" Albert frowned. Although he didn't like Filch, he never took the initiative to trouble him.

"What happened the other day, I finished Quidditch last time and I was met by Filch, so I was called to the office for defilement of the castle." Fred's face was filled with uncontrollable disgust. Just forget about practicing with the wind and snow, and being asked for trouble after coming back, how could I feel happy in my heart.

"This charge is quite common," Albert said. The main reason is that Filch is not magical and it is troublesome to clean up mud footprints. If Filch is a wizard, it only takes three seconds at most.

Unfortunately, he is not.

"Pippi promised us that he would send Filch some big **** bombs on Christmas." Fred said cheerfully, "Okay, see you later."

The three hurried to the secret road behind the mirror on the fifth floor, and Albert also set off to the House of Request.

After skillfully entering the Ravenclaw Knowledge Treasury in the House of Request, he moved an armchair for himself and sat in front of the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker, raising his hand and gently tapping on the wooden board twice.

At the next moment, the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker asked:

Two pairs of father and son were fishing together, each of them caught one fish, three fish in total, why?

"Grandpa, father and son, exactly two pairs of father and son, three fish." Albert hardly thought much, and answered the riddle easily.

"It makes sense."

In fact, Albert has heard of many riddles of the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker. The difficulty is not too big, and the "greedy predator" mission is not continuous. Now you only need to answer 96 riddles to complete the mission. .

"The difficulty is easier than I thought." Albert murmured. He raised his hand and continued to knock on the door to answer the riddle of the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker, easily answering one question after another. It took about half an hour to get more than fifty correct answers. These riddles basically did not cause him any trouble. .

Last time, Katrina’s 100 riddles and answers were already firmly remembered by Albert. Thanks to Katrina, otherwise I don’t want to answer so easily now. She is such a good person. !

Albert sent Katrina a nice card in his heart.

Just as Albert was about to continue answering the riddle, the door of the House of Request was suddenly opened. He noticed that someone had broken in. Albert was also taken aback. He almost instinctively pulled out his wand and pointed to break in. By.

"It's you, scared me." Albert muttered, putting away his wand.

"What are you doing here?" Isobel glanced at Albert's wand, not caring at all, but rather curious about why Albert appeared here.

Although Isobel also knew that Albert knew Ravenclaw's secret room, it still felt very strange to meet him in such a place.

"What? Guess the riddles!" Albert raised his finger to the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker and said, "I'm challenging my limits to see if I can guess a hundred riddles right in one go."

When Isobel heard this, his eyes became weird, as if he was looking at some rare creature.

"Interesting?" she said slowly.

"Interesting." Albert headed. This is a panel task, how could it be boring?

"By the way, what are you doing here?" Albert changed the subject.

"Study the Ravenclaw's secret room and find a way to open it." Isabel's answer is almost the same as Albert's guess, and it is undoubtedly for the treasure trove of knowledge.

"Are there any latest research results?" Albert asked curiously Yes. "Isabel's answer was a bit unexpected by Albert, but he didn't care much, just asked casually, "What is it?" "

"Go in and talk." Isabel didn't tell Albert directly.

"You go in first, and I plan to continue to challenge the riddle!" Albert motioned to Isobel to enter the secret room.

"You are not really curious at all." Isabel looked at Albert in amazement. She regretted teaching the other party Occlumency, and now she can't understand the person in front of her.

"Curious. However, you won't run away in a hurry. It's the same if you ask later. I still have this patience." Albert is really not in a hurry. "I'll talk about the task reward when I get it.

As for the new discoveries that Isabel said, he really didn't care too much. After all, he also had new discoveries of his own. By the way, about Professor Smith, he might be able to get some information from Isabel.
