Chapter 247 Role Playing
Albert has never been a suspicious person, at least not in his previous life. This may have something to do with his previous living environment, but now he has to say that Professor Rowena Smith is a bit suspicious, at least from the many information he has obtained in series. And it did.
It is undeniable that there is also Albert's prejudice as a time traveler, but he still believes that every wizard who came to Hogwarts to serve as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts before Voldemort completely fell down the street may have come to cause trouble. It's more likely that something will be implicated.
Perhaps, the final answer may be far from his own guess, but before Professor Smith leaves Hogwarts, it does not prevent Albert from temporarily blacklisting him.
No way, who made the Boggart form closely related to the fear in people's hearts, and Professor Smith's Boggart turned into the corpse of Isobel's father, which made Albert doubtful.
He even boldly speculated that the cause of Isobel's father's death was very likely to be related to Professor Smith. Even if there was no direct connection, there might be an indirect connection. Otherwise, how could Professor Smith's Boggart form be explained?
According to what Professor Brod once said, Isobel's father died in a magic experiment.
If you insist on connecting everything together, the only thing the four have in common is that they are all candidates for the heir, and they have all been trained by the heir.
Therefore, Albert boldly guessed that the failure of Isobel's father's magic experiment was caused by human beings, and Professor Smith is likely to be the culprit. Therefore, Isobel's father's body will become the object of fear of Professor Smith. It may be The shadow in his heart caused by killing his friend intentionally, unintentionally, or even indirectly, is his friend after all.
Albert recorded his guesses in a small notebook with a quill pen. This kind of plot is actually a very common story in mystery novels, and the trigger may be for something.
As for, so-called something?
Naturally, it is the heir's business.
In order to inherit a large sum of Galleons and other precious inheritances, it is not too strange to do such a thing.
Although such speculation is a bit ridiculous, it does not mean that such a bold speculation is illogical and impossible.
When the wealth is large enough to make people crazy, as long as the benefits obtained are large enough, it is not impossible to backstab a friend.
Furthermore, it is speculation about the treasure house of Ravenclaw knowledge.
Why does Professor Smith want to get the wealth in the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets?
There are two speculations about this point. The first one is that the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets is related to the heir, and the second one is purely for the wealth inside. However, after knowing that the wealth inside is knowledge, the back view of Professor Smith That's why I'm so lonely.
If the four are linked to the Ravenclaw treasure house, the first possibility will be relatively greater.
Moreover, Isobel may have found the existence of Ravenclaw's knowledge treasure house from his father's notes, indicating that his father was very likely to have entered it, and might get something from it to become the heir.
However, because there was only one heir, he was killed?
But why didn't Professor Smith become the heir?
The reason why Albert determined that Professor Smith was not the heir was because at Easter, he was entertained by Mog McDougal to the lake house. He found that Professor Broad and several other people's age group appeared, but two or three There is a generation gap at the ten-year-old position, if they are really related to the heirs, or... In fact, how many people in Professor Brod are responsible for choosing the heirs, and they are even the heirs themselves?
Then, what was the purpose of Professor Broad's visit to Hogwarts last year?
For Ravenclaw's treasure trove of knowledge? Maybe it has something to do with the heir, but even Albert would not deny that Professor Broad helped him a lot in the end, and he was not hostile to him, and even treated him kindly like a relative.
This led Albert to not doubt Professor Smith at first, not only because they knew each other, Albert didn't know about the heir at that time, he only thought that Professor Broad was going to draw him into a certain circle of friends.
If his bold guess is true, what role does Isobel play in this matter?
Avenger who avenged his father?
Or is it a candidate to seize the position of heir?
Or...both?
"So, what role am I playing?" Albert looked at the parchment in his hand and muttered to himself, "The unlucky guy who was involved in this incident for no reason? Or one of the candidates for the heir?" ?”
Finally, what roles do Professor Broad and Mr. Mog McDougal play?
The referee who picks the heir?
Then...Mr. Smith is the heir candidate and villain boss?
No, Professor Smith may have been disqualified. After all, he was a candidate for successor in the last round, regardless of whether he was successful or not, the role of candidate for successor should have been eliminated?
What's more, he has already failed.
Of course, there is another possibility that Mr. Smith is also the "heir" referee. After all, with the case of Snape before it, it is really hard to say what the truth is until the end.
No way, sometimes the plot of the novel is really nonsense, but the reality is sometimes even more nonsense, not to mention that he is now living in this world that does not know whether it is a novel or a reality.
Of course, everything may just be Albert's own delusion, but he still thinks that Professor Smith's coming to Hogwarts is probably related to the heir. After all, Rowena's surname is Smith. The so-called coincidence is usually just a man-made coincidence.
So, one last question.
Isobel seems to know a lot of things, how on earth does she know so many things?
Did someone tell her, or did she deduce it from what her father left behind, or did she have some way of sniffing out information?
All three are possible, but there is no doubt that Isobel knows a lot of things, even closer to the truth than him, but the other party is unwilling to say it.
Albert is actually not unable to understand Isobel's thoughts. If he killed himself, he would keep the secret and would not trust others easily.
"For some reason, this world always feels unsafe!" Albert tore off the pages from the diary, threw them into the flames and burned them to ashes.
Now, he just hopes that everything is just his own guesswork and idle delusion.
"The world is so dangerous, so I really should prepare more things for self-defense." Albert muttered to himself, looking at the paper that had been burned to ashes in the fire.
If possible, I really want to carry two wands with me.
As for, why bring two wands?
This is actually a kind of inertial thinking. Most wizards only carry a wand. However, losing the wand means losing the power to resist. Many villains like to show off their superiority and enjoy the feeling of victory by babbling some words after disarming the enemy's wand.
However, this is an opportunity to give others a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Who let the villain die of talking too much?
