Chapter 547： A gift from N·F

Chapter 547 Gift from N·F

 After seeing off Hermione and Ron, Albert was also preparing to go to the Room of Requirement.

As soon as he arrived in the common room, a girl hurried towards Albert with a package in her arms. She handed the package to him and stammered, "Ann... Anderson, your owl."

As soon as her eyes met Albert's, her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

Albert noticed that there was a gray owl following the girl, just like a competent postman watching the package being delivered to the recipient.

"Thank you." Albert quickly stretched out his hands to take the package and looked at the sender: N·F.

"And you, thank you for your hard work." Albert smiled and squatted down, reaching out and touching the owl's head.

"Wait a mininute."

 Seeing the owl preparing to leave, Albert quickly stopped it.

Hurried upstairs to prepare some water and owl nuts for the owl. This guy had just flown over from France, which was not an easy task.

The gray owl gave a grateful cry and began to eat nuts. He looked really tired.

 After Albert sent it away, he hurried to the Room of Requirement.

 “It’s rare that you are late.”

By the burning fireplace, Isobel put down the book in her hand and looked at Albert who had just entered the Room of Requirement.

 “Sorry, I encountered something trivial.”

Since the announcement of their relationship, Katrina has stopped acting as a lightbulb. It can be said that this place has completely become a date place for the two.

 Albert walked to Isobel's side and placed the package on the small round table.

“Who is N·F?” Isobel asked, glancing at the sender of the package.

 “Nicola Flamel.”

Albert took out his wand from his pocket, swiped it gently on the package, and used the cutting spell to cut open the outer wrapping paper, revealing the exquisite metal box inside.

"What's this?"

 “Something I asked Mr. Flamel to help me make.”

Albert reached out and pressed on the metal box, and the entire metal box slowly unfolded, revealing two pairs of gold-rimmed glasses placed inside, as well as a letter left for Albert.

“Are you nearsighted?” Isobel picked up the gold-rimmed glasses in surprise, wondering why Albert specifically asked the person to make two pairs of glasses for him.

“A pair is for you, these are flat-rimmed glasses.” Albert picked up the glasses and put them on Isobel, looked them up and down and nodded: “They look good.”

 “What’s the use of it?” Isobel also put the glasses in her hand on Albert.

 “Weaken the curse.” Albert said without thinking.

 “Weaken the curse?”

Isobel frowned slightly: "Did something happen?"

"Well, something bad did happen." After thinking about it again, Albert nodded: "Do you know Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?"

"Is it related to Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?" Isobel recalled carefully, "It is said that it is just a rumor. Is the legend of the Chamber of Secrets true?"

"Well, this matter should start from last semester." Albert talked about the prophecy at the end of last semester, what happened to Harry Potter during the summer vacation, and the prophecy he just gave to Hermione Granger. By the way, he combined it with his own speculation.

"So, you think the monster hiding in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets is the Basilisk?" Isobel frowned, digesting the information provided by Albert, "Fifty years ago, the student who was killed was the Basilisk. The ghost of Moaning Myrtle in the second floor bathroom?”

"I once asked Myrtle, and she didn't know how she died." Albert recalled, "According to Myrtle Elizabeth Warren's description, 'I only remember seeing a pair of terrifyingly large Yellow eyes. It was like my whole body was grabbed and I floated away...'"

"Slytherin is a snake. He can control snakes, and the basilisk is also a snake." Isobel understood the purpose of the glasses. "The gaze of the basilisk can kill people, just like the cry of the mandrake." Deadly. Your idea is correct. A weakened mandrake can only make people unconscious, but a weakened basilisk's gaze is not so deadly. It is probably not able to kill people at once, but it is just your assumption. I hope you Don’t risk your life.”

"This is just a kind of insurance." Albert said with a wry smile, "After all, I am so famous now that I am very suitable to be the first target to be killed."

 “Did you predict it?” Isobel’s frown deepened.

"The first attack..." Albert lowered his voice and said, "It will happen before November. Although it shouldn't attack a pure-blood wizard like you, you still need to protect yourself."

"When are you going to tell Dumbledore about this?" Isobel knew Albert's character, but was still worried about his safety.

 There is no way, Gryffindor is really uneasy.

 “After the attack.”

“Although I don’t know what you want to do, you must protect yourself.” Isobel kissed Albert’s lips.

"I will."

The girl sighed softly in her heart. She really couldn't understand what Albert wanted to do, but she was still very happy when the other person told her these things.

 In the past, Albert gave her the impression that he was hiding something deep and could not understand it at all. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why she was attracted to him in the first place!

I don’t know how long it took before the two separated again.

Isobel helped Albert analyze the legend of the secret room.

If the basilisk really exists, why has it not been discovered for so many years?

The girl soon discovered that Albert knew the legend of the secret room very well, just like he told her not to approach the second floor bathroom alone.

Although it is not stated directly, the entrance to the secret room is most likely there.

 But, Isobel didn’t understand why no one had discovered the location of the secret room after so many years.

 Furthermore, according to rumors, only the heir should be able to open the secret room and release the monsters inside.

Then...who will be the heir?

 Why has this never happened before? Is the heir a new student?

"No, I checked, there should be no Slytherin heir among the freshmen." Albert couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the girl's keenness.

 “The mark of the heir may be Parseltongue.”

Albert pointed to the metal box on the table, "Just like the metal box in front of me, which requires my fingers to touch a certain location to open it, the entrance to the secret room will most likely require Parseltongue to open."

"As far as I know, the devil who cannot even be named is Parselmouth." Isobel's pupils dilated slightly, and she remembered the Sorcerer's Stone incident last year. Professor Quirrell seemed to be controlled by a mysterious person.

"It was indeed the mysterious man who opened the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago." Albert sighed softly. "Hagrid was one of the victims at the time. Everyone thought he was the prisoner who opened the Chamber of Secrets, and was eventually killed by Hogwart. Ci was fired."

 “Is the other party’s target Harry Potter?” For some reason, Isobel breathed a sigh of relief.

"That should be true." Albert nodded, "However, you still have to pay attention to safety."

After talking to Isobel about these things, Albert felt a lot more relaxed. It was really unpleasant to keep some things in his heart.

He suddenly understood why the villain always talks so much nonsense. When he is about to succeed, he always lacks a sense of accomplishment if he doesn't share his achievements with others. That's why the villain always likes to talk a lot of nonsense to the protagonist.
