Chapter 317 The Book of Bronze
After the holidays, the weather is getting clearer and warmer every day. Finally, we couldn't bear the temptation, left the heavy homework, left the library to hang out on the lawn, and relieved the pressure of study.
Albert just came back from Hagrid's hut, and there was no movement in the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid told him three times how he shot the werewolf Yorman in the knee with an arrow and successfully captured him back.
Unfortunately, the Ministry of Magic is unwilling to pay the bounty for the unlucky werewolf, on the grounds that the werewolf Yorman was not offered a bounty by the Ministry of Magic. Hagrid himself didn't mind, but Albert looked down on the behavior of the Ministry of Magic. It's nothing to pat his **** and leave.
Albert returned to the hall, and saw Fred and George sitting there playing wizard cards at a glance, and there were several spectators around them. After two rounds of elimination, the number of wizard card lovers has increased.
Of course, this has something to do with the twins using brand-new wizard cards, and the crowd of onlookers wanted to ask them to borrow cards to play a game.
Lee Jordan was flipping through today's Prophet newspaper, and when he saw Albert coming, he put down the newspaper and greeted him.
"How about it?"
"Everyone is still looking for Professor Smith all over the world." Lee Jordan couldn't help but sighed: "No one knows where he went. The rewards in the newspapers have increased again, as long as they can help the Smith family find someone, or Provide useful information, and give 1000 Galleons as a reward, I really want this money!"
"There is nothing missing in the dream."
Albert took over the Daily Prophet from Lee Jordan, carefully read the news on the front page, and couldn't help shaking his head, "Rita Skeeter actually thinks this is a problem with Hogwarts, and that woman blames Dumbledore Headmaster Lido, is she crazy because she wants to be famous?"
"Dad said that reporter likes to make up news." Fred interrupted suddenly.
"Originally, I thought that Professor Smith would be found soon." George threw down the card and muttered, "As a result, there was no news at all. Professor Smith seemed to have disappeared out of thin air."
"What do you think?" Angelina took over George's wizard deck and prepared to play a game with Shanna.
"Some people say that Professor Smith may have been killed or kidnapped, so he disappeared inexplicably." Albert hesitated, "I think this possibility is relatively high."
"Hey, you don't have to curse Professor Smith like this!" Fred was speechless immediately, Albert's broken mouth that said something was really embarrassing.
Professor Smith is not really dead, is he?
"I'm just telling the most likely thing!" Albert shook his head and said, "It is impossible for a wizard as powerful as Professor Smith to disappear without warning, and there is no reason to do so. Kidnapped, or dead, otherwise, what do you think he is hiding for?"
Everyone around was silent, because what Albert said made sense, and this matter is still full of weirdness. Why Professor Smith left Hogwarts in such a hurry, and where he went, no one knows.
"I thought you had a good relationship with Professor Smith."
"The relationship is good, and I have been paying attention to this matter."
"Where are you going?" Lee Jordan asked when Albert put down the newspaper and got up to leave.
"Go to Professor Broad and see if there is any new news from him." Albert got up and prepared to go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.
Of course, what he said just now was purely an excuse.
A few minutes later, Albert knocked on the wooden door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.
Professor Broad opened the door and motioned for Albert to go inside.
"You are here, and you are more patient than I imagined. What do you want to drink, milk tea?" Professor Brod motioned for Albert to sit down. The Defense Against the Dark Arts office has changed a lot.
"Mr. Mogg said that someone will explain it clearly to us." Albert sat down opposite Professor Brod, stirred the milk tea with a spoon, looked at Professor Brod and said.
"Yes. However, it's not suitable here." Professor Brod made a booing gesture, took out a bag of Galleons from his pocket and put it in front of Albert.
"Your spoils."
"too much."
"Gerber gave you the extra 100 Galleons. Of course, Isobel also has a share. He is very sorry for that." Professor Brod pushed Galleons in front of Albert. Come down!"
"You knew it from the beginning?" Albert didn't refuse, and put the money bag into the shape-shifting lizard bag.
"Have a hunch!" Professor Brod said, "Mogg has been staying in Hogsmeade temporarily."
"Mr. Mogg is late." Albert reminded.
"He just went there to make sure you were alive." Professor Broad said calmly: "You know, there is something called a time converter. If necessary, Gerber will go back in time and directly solve the source of the problem, so, Nothing will happen to you."
"It's really rude." Albert raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought that some things would be difficult to completely reverse even with a time converter, and would drive people crazy instead."
"Of course not one person, but a group of people." Professor Broad interrupted: "Okay, let's not continue this topic. I have brought you something that you will definitely be interested in."
Speaking, Professor Broad put a wooden box on the table, which contained a thick rusty metal book.
"Book of Bronze?" Albert asked curiously.
"Yes, this is the Bronze Book in the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets." Professor Broad nodded and admitted.
"You want me to put it back?"
"right."
"Why didn't you let Mr. Mogg put it back?" Albert stretched out his hand to caress the lines on the book, and asked, "He should have this ability."
"Who knows?" Professor Broad obviously didn't want to say.
"Can I read it?" Albert asked again.
"Of course." Professor Brod said, "It contains records about the use of ancient rune magic. Mogg has read it, and maybe you can understand it too. However, I suggest you put it back to its original place and wait a little longer." Watch slowly."
"This thing is really too heavy." Albert's eyes fell on the wooden box.
"I know you still have a lot of doubts, but now is not a good time to talk about these things. After the holiday, you come to live with me for a few days, and I will tell you these things slowly."
"Can I give up? I will give up the opportunity to Isobel." Albert said suddenly.
"Don't be so anxious to draw conclusions, and you are still in the investigation stage." Professor Broad winked at Albert and said: "We will finally have a way to get you to agree, I promise."
"Wild Smith's Legacy?"
"You will know when the time comes, and you will definitely be shocked." Professor Broad smiled meaningfully, "I was also taken aback at the time."
"Do you think I will pass?" Albert couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
Professor Broad just smiled, not ready to answer Albert's question.
