Chapter 229： Famous again.

Chapter 229 is famous again.

The loss of the Quidditch match plunged the entire Gryffindor Academy into a low ebb, and the spirit that originally planned to continue to compete for the Quidditch trophy and the Academy Cup disappeared all of a sudden. Thanks to the fact that this Quidditch match lasted long enough and the Ravenclaw team was evenly matched, some people who had doubts and dissatisfaction with the new players shut up.

The Weasley twins are not in high spirits, but they still go to the stadium for training every week regardless of the weather.

This series of changes had little effect on Albert, and his life at Hogwarts basically remained unchanged.

In the few days after the competition, something new happened in the school. Professor Pomona Sprout finally found a pot of Mandrakes missing in Greenhouse 3.

However, no one knows who took the pot of Mandrake. Some people think that Peeves did it, and they are going to throw it into the auditorium for everyone's entertainment.

The administrator, Filch, is trying his best to investigate this matter, trying to catch Peeves' evidence in one fell swoop and drive it out of the castle.

No one connected this incident with the cries in the castle half a month ago, except for Snape. The potions professor still had a bad temper. He spent a lot of effort, but he still couldn't find the culprit. , when preparing a potion, Snape found that three precious materials were missing from his warehouse.

"Someone is going to make a compound potion?"

Snape saw at a glance what the thief who stole the material was trying to do from the horn of the bicorn and the snake skin fragments of the African tree snake. As for the lost rune snake egg, he didn't associate it with Buffy's brain-boosting potion. If someone wanted to become a giant monster's brain, he wouldn't stop it either.

Albert wants to store some compound medicines. With this thing, it will be much more convenient for him to pretend to be someone else in the future. At least he doesn't need to worry about being discovered when he enters the black market.

However, making Polyjuices was a waste of time, and he thought Snape might be looking at it too. After all, he had the idea of ​​drawing Snape's attention in this direction at the beginning.

Time came to late November, and another Quidditch match was held at the end of the month.

The situation is not optimistic, the Slytherin team defeated the Hufflepuff team by absolute points. During the siege, he was still as helpless as a kitten in a blizzard.

The Slytherin team's victory is undoubtedly not good news for Gryffindor, at least the vast majority of students would prefer to see Hufflepuff win.

Unfortunately, the sound of cheering did not help the Hufflepuff team win the final victory.

The lead in the house score and the Quidditch match allowed Slytherin House to regain the confidence it lost last year, and they often ridiculed Gryffindor.

"It's so irritating." Fred's quill was crooked.

"How about we..." George made a tapping motion, and now he can't wait to teach the Slytherin players who were still in front of him an unforgettable lesson.

"That's a good idea." Lee Jordan narrowed his eyes equally happily, ready to make trouble.

"Just don't worry about them." Albert said indifferently.

"Don't do that." Fred said.

"The old bat is still watching." Albert reminded, "It's more troublesome to get caught, and it's already snowing."

"Cedar mushrooms," he reminded.

"Oh fine."

Seeing that Albert was not willing to help, the three of Fred were a little helpless. Without Albert to provide the brains, it is not easy to quietly harass that group of people.

Although they all like to make trouble and want to take revenge on those guys, they definitely don't want to be targeted by Snape.

"I just heard that they seem to be discussing something." After Fred and the others left, Shanna sat down opposite Albert, and put a magazine called "Master of Practical Potions" on Albert. In front of Te, smiled and said, "Congratulations."

"Congratulations on what?" Albert was stunned, looking at Shanna suspiciously.

"The paper." Shanna reminded, "It's on the magazine, Master of Practical Potions."

"Uh, I don't seem to have published a paper on it yet." Albert said after thinking for a while. He did write one, but it hasn't been sent yet.

"It's indeed your name, Albert Anderson." Shanna looked at Albert suspiciously, opened the magazine, turned to Albert's paper, and pointed to it.

"Oh, I think I know what's going on." Albert flipped through "The Master of Practical Potions" and immediately understood what was going on. Obviously someone helped him behind the scenes. This paper is Revised on his letter.

It seems that this matter has indeed been mentioned.

However, Albert doesn't care much about these things anymore. After all, he doesn't lack such things as reputation.

If "Practical Potion Master" paid for the manuscript, maybe he would be more enthusiastic.

Unfortunately, they don't pay royalties.

This magazine is an academic journal jointly organized by a group of potion masters in order to expand their influence. To put it bluntly, it is something that a small circle of people is playing with themselves, and it is used to gain their own reputation.

Of course, it's an authority on potions.

After all, the potions in "Master of Practical Potions" are indeed very practical, so the publishers in it are actually very famous.

However, Albert himself did not plan to delve into this field, so he was very indifferent in this regard.

However, this attitude is unusual in Shanna's eyes. She felt that very few people could face it so calmly.

At this time, someone came over and put a magazine in front of them.

Albert and Shanna Qiqi, who were chatting casually, looked up at the person coming.

"Your paper has been selected." Katrina pointed to the "Spell Innovation" on the table.

"A new issue is out?" Albert asked suspiciously. He remembered that he also subscribed to this magazine.

"It came out the day before yesterday." Katrina said, "Congratulations, in this way, you have successfully published papers in the two academic journals "Transfiguration Today" and "Spell Innovation". Hogwarts like never before."

Shanna was stunned for a while, then smiled at Katrina, "Actually, you don't know, Anderson also published a paper in "Master of Practical Potions", and that magazine is here."

"Perhaps, you can surpass Principal Dumbledore and become another legend." Katrina muttered, "Isobel said that the principal was also a very powerful genius before."

"I'll be embarrassed if you praise me like that." Although Albert said this, there was no embarrassment on his face.

"In short, congratulations." Katrina gave Albert a blank look, and said before turning and leaving, "By the way, Professor Flitwick is looking for you, probably for this reason."
