Chapter 938 Egoist

At this moment, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan all looked at Albert, and they were all surprised from ear to ear.

"Really?"

George really had a hard time imagining that Professor Flitwick planned to teach Albert about black magic.

"Well, Professor Flitwick is actually not opposed to using black magic to deal with the enemy, as long as it is not used for abuse, it is fine." Albert still underestimated the influence of black magic.

The three of them all hope that Albert can teach them after he learns black magic.

"You want to learn too?"

"Of course, why not learn, it would be better to learn more, and we also believe that Professor Flitwick will not teach you messy black magic."

"The Explosive Curse is really not some kind of messy black magic." Albert said noncommittally.

"Don't you know this spell?"

"The Explosive Curse is black magic?" Lee Jordan asked stupidly.

"This spell is indeed black magic, and its power is much stronger than the smashing spell. Pettigrew Peter once used this spell to blow up a street." Albert looked at the three people in doubt, and explained, "It's very powerful when you use it. Generally, it is because your current magic power is not strong, and there is another part of the reason, which is the same as some people cannot kill people by chanting Avada Kedavra."

"No wonder we use the Explosion Charm so weakly." George muttered, "What is Professor Flitwick going to teach you?"

"How to use the Explosive Curse flexibly, and the advanced use of the Explosive Curse."

Hearing this, the three of them couldn't help being a little disappointed, because they couldn't learn many of Albert's tricks, such as the simplest luminous spell, and the technique of letting the light ball float away from the wand. If you can't do the simplest things well, then don't even think about the difficult ones.

If Albert wants to learn black magic, he can choose from the books in the restricted area, which contain a lot of books about black magic.

This can be regarded as one of the benefits of the Triwizard Tournament warriors.

Of course, even if he is not a warrior, Albert can still use the books in the restricted area at will.

If possible, Albert would like to create his own spell, but this step is really difficult to take, even with a panel.

It's not that Albert didn't expect to complete the task of obtaining the specified skill, and try to get a talent similar to spell creation.

However, spell experimentation is a very dangerous job. As far as Albert knows, many wizards have died because of it, and Isobel's father is one of them.

The mysterious man might be one of them, and Albert suspected that the Dark Lord turned himself into that ugly figure, which might have something to do with the spell.

However, Albert is not in a hurry. If he has money for such a dangerous job in the future, he can set up a research institute and recruit a group of wizards to help him avoid thunder.

The euphemistic name is to promote the younger generation.

Of course, this kind of thing is just thinking about it now, the most important thing at the moment is to get through the current difficulties.

If you don’t want to interfere, you can actually stay near the entrance of the maze. Albert believes that the fake Moody can’t do anything about him. After all, Dumbledore is outside, and the fake Moody will definitely not dare to trouble him.

Sure enough, I was still too greedy. If I didn't want to solve the task in one go, I might not need to bear such a big risk.

Sure enough, greed is the original sin.

Although the world without the mysterious person is the best, if there is no external pressure from Voldemort, there probably won’t be so many related tasks. Usually, tasks are not common, and even if they are triggered, there is not much experience.

Is this a combination of danger and opportunity?

It's a pity that after the wave of mysterious people, it may be difficult to find similar opportunities in the future.

Although there are still a lot of experience and skill points stored, this thing is not expensive at all!

Just as Albert sighed, an owl threw the envelope in front of him. Then, landed on the table and ate nachos from Albert's bowl without waiting for an invitation

"This guy is really rude." Albert didn't care, reached out and touched the owl's head, then picked up the envelope, glanced at the sender, and found that the letter to him was Percy, who was unlucky a while ago .

In his letter, Percy described his current situation. Because old Barty Crouch was controlled by the Imperius Curse, he has been under investigation by the Ministry of Magic. The unscrupulous officials of the Ministry of Magic asked him a lot of questions. Things, and put the blame on him again. Anyway, everything is his fault. As you can imagine, Percy almost lost his job, or has already lost his job. He was temporarily suspended by the Ministry of Magic for investigation , You can't reinstate until the results of the investigation come out. As for when the results of the investigation will come out, there may never be any results of the investigation.

Albert shook his head when he saw the paper full of grievances.

Whether Percy is looking for someone to confide in, or to gain sympathy, Albert can understand the meaning of the other party's letter.

He wrote a reply letter directly to the other party. As for what Percy plans to do, that is his own choice. However, Albert doubts that he will still go his own way. After all, he is an assistant to the Minister of Magic, no matter how he looks at it. It's a good resume.

If you want to be promoted in the Ministry of Magic, although connections are important, resumes are also important.

"Here, here is this month's manuscript."

A voice came from the side. At some point, Hermione stood beside Albert, handed a few pieces of parchment to Albert, put down three Galleons and said, "Sirius gave me five Galleons." The manuscript fee, and several letters from readers, whether you want to read it or not, they are all here."

"That's your own royalties."

Albert didn't want the three Galleons, he picked them up and put them in Hermione's hand,

"You also contributed a lot to our royalties."

"I don't lack three Galleons." Albert put away the manuscript and reminded him kindly: "I suggest that you don't read letters from readers, ordinary readers will not write to you, and those who will write to you will not be anything Good thing."

"How do you know?" Hermione asked in surprise.

Albert was quite speechless.

What did I write, do I really have no clue?

Most wizards are not interested in such articles at all, and wizards who are willing to write letters, except for a very small number of supporters, can know what the rest will be even with their knees.

"If you really want to read it, show it to others first. Potter or Weasley are both good choices. They will have fun after reading it. If the content is not bad, you can watch it again. If the content is bad, directly read it. Just burn it so you don't feel sick."

Hermione's novels serialized in the magazine did not directly use her own name, but used the middle name "Jane". This was Albert's proposal to avoid someone sending her bad letters like last time, or even roar letter.

Not to mention, there are such guys.

After much hesitation, Hermione finally accepted this kind reminder. After all, some people's letters were not so friendly. She has experienced it a few times before, and there is no need to make herself feel guilty.

"By the way, Sirius is coming to teach Harry Defense Against the Dark Arts this weekend, do you want to go together?" Hermione asked suddenly.

"Potter asked you to invite me?" Albert asked in surprise, he didn't think Hermione would invite herself on her own.

"No, Sirius asked me to ask you in the letter." Hermione shook her head and said, "He didn't know where he heard that you planned to publish a book on Defense Against the Dark Arts, and said he wanted to talk to you about it. "

"No, I might be busy recently," Albert stuffed the folded parchment back into Percy's envelope, changed the names of the recipient and the sender by the way, and restored the opened envelope to its original state, letting the owl Take the letter to Percy.

"You're saving money, whose letter is this?" Fred was stunned by Albert's saucy operation, how could this be possible?

"A letter to Percy," Albert said.

"What did that guy write to you for?" Both Fred and George cast curious eyes.

"The unlucky guy was recently suspended by the Ministry of Magic. He has accumulated a lot of grievances and depression, and wants to find someone to chat with." Albert looked at Hermione and said, "I remember that you have a good relationship with Percy."

"We have different opinions on house elves." Hermione said it very euphemistically, but the meaning was already obvious.

The two had a falling out over a house-elf.

"They fell out because of Crouch's house elf!" George explained to Albert, looking at Hermione's leaving back.

"Oh, is that the house elf named Winky in the kitchen?" Albert suddenly said, "It's not surprising. After all, Percy has to flatter his boss, otherwise he won't be promoted in the future."

"Pfft! Hahaha, you're right, Percy did try his best to curry favor with his boss, and as a result..." The Weasley twins laughed extremely nastyly, "Crouch misremembered his name, I think it's called ...Wetherby, yes, Wetherby."

"Speaking of which, we didn't know that you and Percy have such a good relationship, that guy actually wrote to you to chat?"

"That guy was stopped, probably because he wanted me to introduce him to a job at the Ministry of Magic."

"Can you still introduce the work of the Ministry of Magic to others?" Fred and George were very surprised. They didn't expect Albert to have such a relationship in the Ministry of Magic.

"After all, I have met a lot of people. It is no problem to introduce a job, but it must not satisfy Percy, so I let him wait first, and he will soon get a satisfactory job." Albert explained

"What satisfying job?" George asked.

"Assistant to the Minister of Magic," Albert said.

"That Percy guy can really become the assistant minister?" Fred was very surprised.

"Under certain conditions, of course."

"What conditions?" George frowned. He really couldn't imagine what circumstances could make Percy suddenly become the assistant of the Minister of Magic?

I always feel that it is not a good thing.

"You will know later, this is a good opportunity for him, I don't think he will give up." Albert thought for a while and said.

"That's right, that guy has big ambitions." Fred muttered, "I don't even doubt he'd throw the whole family over to the Dementors if he had to."

"Although Percy is indeed an exquisite egoist, at least his head is clear enough to know what to do." Albert comforted softly.

"Exquisite egoist, what you say is as sharp as ever. Percy is that kind of guy." Fred agreed with Albert's evaluation.

"Actually, you don't have to judge Percy like that." Albert said softly, "It's normal. There are so many similar guys in Europe. Look at the students in Slytherin. Most of them are this kind of guy. The whole Hogwarts Most of Ci's students are."

"I don't think you are," interjected Lee Jordan.

"Why do you think I'm not?" Albert felt a little funny. It should be said that most of the guys who can be crowned as traversers are similar.
