Chapter 558 is targeted

The cumulonimbus clouds in October never dissipated from the heads of everyone. The heavy rain kept falling, and a musty smell could be faintly smelled in the corner of the castle.

For the upcoming Halloween dinner, Hagrid had to spend a lot of time rescuing those big soaked pumpkins in the pumpkin field, lest they be soaked by the rain.

The weather on the weekend was rarely sunny. Albert went to Hagrid's hunting lodge for afternoon tea, and heard the other party casually talk about Professor Kettleber's hospitalization. "

"When did it happen?" Albert asked, rubbing his teeth.

"Yesterday." Hagrid sighed softly, "Professor Kettleburb bought a house in Hogsmeade, and he planned to settle there to accompany his cuties. I stumbled, but fortunately the house elf who brought the food found it in time, and I am still recuperating in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Wounds."

"Professor Ketelber may have to retire early." Albert was not surprised, the professor's health was not very good, "If you want to apply for a professor of protection of magical creatures, you should think about what you want to teach everyone in advance , Don't underestimate the risks you will encounter when getting along with magical creatures, students are not as rough-skinned as you, and they can't bear to toss."

Hagrid looked at Albert in amazement, and the other party said very bluntly that he would fill the vacancy of Professor Kettlebur and become Hogwarts' Professor of Protection of Magical Creatures.

"You can take time to visit Professor Kettlebo and ask him for teaching skills." Albert reminded: "Don't bring any weird things into the classroom, especially those that may hurt students magical creatures."

Albert doubted whether his words would have any effect, but as a friend, he should remind him.

When he left the hunting lodge, Hagrid was still in a daze, as if thinking about what Albert had just said.

No way, one of Albert's words is very accurate, maybe he can really apply for the professor of protection of magical animals?

However, Hagrid felt that it was necessary for him to probe Mrs. Graplan to see if she wanted to apply for the post of Professor of Protection of Magical Beasts.

On the way back to the castle, Albert met Ginny Weasley. The red-haired girl walking towards him gave him an inexplicable sense of weirdness. Albert raised his head to meet her gaze, and found that Ginny Weasley's eyes seemed to have lost the agility that a child should have, making his The pupils could not help dilating slightly.

"Have you been controlled by Voldemort?" Albert walked away before looking back at Ginny's back, hesitating briefly.

If you bring Ginny Weasley down now, you will definitely be able to find Tom Riddle's diary from the opponent's body. As long as you destroy the Horcrux, there will be no further attacks, but those panel tasks of your own are extremely difficult. It might all be over, and it would be hard to explain it to Dumbledore.

Albert has never underestimated Dumbledore, and he will definitely be seen as a flaw.

Once can be accidental, twice accidental, it is worthy of Dumbledore's careful consideration.

"Forget it, just be careful, and let other things take their course." Albert raised his hand and pushed the frame, and continued to walk towards the castle.

What Ginny Weasley, or Tom Riddle wants to do, is actually not difficult to guess.

The crowing of a rooster is fatal to a basilisk.

Tom Riddle is naturally aware of this, so he would never want a rooster around the castle.

"Should I keep a rooster as a pet?" Albert said to himself, and the idea was quickly forgotten by him. It was too troublesome to keep a rooster, and he thought it would make a **** The barking toy is a good choice, but I don't know if it will be useful to the basilisk.

"The 'screaming chicken' in my previous life was very popular." After careful consideration, Albert felt that the "screaming chicken" was a good selling point, and it didn't have to be screaming, it could be other sounds, and he could use it in the future The product of joke props.

As for selling the 'Screaming Chicken' as an amulet after the attack, Albert never thought about it. After all, it is easy to be targeted, and no one would buy that thing as an amulet.

After Albert walked away, Tom Riddle turned his head and looked at Albert's leaving back. For some reason, an inexplicable anxiety suddenly surged in his heart.

Tom didn't realize it at all. He almost got cold just now. If Albert directly subdued Ginny, he would be able to arrange his Horcrux clearly in minutes.

Tom once heard Ginny mention this Muggle wizard named Albert Anderson. It is said that he is a genius, and he won the international wizard chess championship not long ago.

Of course, Albert Anderson is an irrelevant existence to Tom. He cares more about Harry Potter and wants to know how the young Harry defeated Voldemort, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. Albert, even if the opponent is a famous genius in Hogwarts school.

After all, Tom Riddle has been a genius in school since before, and he really doesn't have much interest in so-called geniuses. It would be a good choice to treat him as a prey.

Such a genius being killed by a basilisk will definitely cause a sensation.

Suddenly I'm looking forward to it!

After discovering that Hagrid was at home, Tom didn't attack the rooster in the coop. After wandering around the hunting lodge, we headed straight back to the castle.

When Albert returned to the castle, he noticed that he had a new mission. Before he checked the mission, he saw Hermione trotting towards this side in a hurry and told him about the last time thing.

Hermione brought up the establishment of the Defense Against the Dark Arts club and invited Lockhart as an instructor, which won the support of a group of Lockhart fans, but this was not organized by her, but by a Lockhart admirer. Senior students formed a club called "The Gilderoy Lockhart Worship Club".

Hermione soon discovered that this club was different from what she had imagined, so she wanted to invite Albert to set up their own Defense Against the Dark Arts club.

"Sorry, I'm afraid not." Albert shook his head and refused.

He is very busy, he has twelve courses to attend, and several clubs to join, there is no extra time to join the Defense Against the Dark Arts club.

However, Albert still gave Hermione some advice, let her invite Harry Potter to join this club.

"Is this really okay?"

"Didn't you notice that Professor Lockhart pays special attention to Harry Potter?" Albert reminded: "If you want to succeed, you need to bring Harry Potter into the club, because Lockhart only pays attention to Harry Potter. Harry Potter is interested, and trust me, as long as Harry Potter is in the Defense Against the Dark Arts club, Lockhart will be more than happy to come and guide you."

"Why is Professor Lockhart interested in Harry?" Hermione was very puzzled by this.

"I don't know, maybe Lockhart is interested in Harry's defeat of You-Know-Who!" Albert casually found an excuse to perfuse Hermione. He knew very well that a club whose starting point was to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts would be of great interest to Lockhart. Said there was no attraction at all.

Only Harry can attract Lockhart.

Although Hermione still doesn't understand the meaning of Albert's words, she knows that Harry simply avoids Lockhart, and it is impossible for him to be willing to join the "Defense Against the Dark Arts Club" unless... Hermione A solution was quickly thought of.
