Chapter 864: Fever Sugar

 “I heard someone said that the wizard card competition has been advanced?”

Seeing Albert coming over, Cedric reached into his schoolbag and pulled out the "Defense Guide" he borrowed a few days ago, and handed it back to him with a smile.

"Yeah, they all think that the Wizarding Card Competition should be moved forward to avoid the Triwizard Tournament. I think it makes sense. In the second half of the semester, everyone will definitely pay more attention to the Triwizard Tournament, and not many people will care about the Wizarding Card Competition. "

"I also heard..." Cedric looked at Albert and smiled, "The winner of the Wizarding Card Competition can be your partner at the Yule Ball?"

"Not a dance partner." Albert noticed that the girls around him were casting curious glances and immediately corrected him, "Even if he danced a few times at the ball, it was all Fred's bad idea. He thought that this would Bring more popularity to the Wizard Card Club.”

"What if the winner of the wizard card is a boy?" Cedric blinked and joked: "Do you have to dance with a boy? I think many girls may be looking forward to seeing you dancing with a boy. .”

"No, if the winner of the wizard card championship is a boy, he will get an extra small gift." Albert shook the "Defense Guide" in his hand and said.

“This magazine is good, but the price is a bit expensive.” Cedric complained: “If the price could be cheaper, I would spend my own money to subscribe to it.”

"Is it expensive? I think the knowledge in it is very practical." Albert's evaluation of Lupine was quite good. "Professor Lupine's teaching level is also pretty good. In fact, he is very suitable for teaching freshmen who are new to Defense Against Dark Arts." , it’s a pity that due to his identity as a werewolf, no parents will be willing to let their children get close to him, so running a magazine can be considered as a way to use my spare energy.”

"You are right." Cedric did learn a lot of useful knowledge from the "Guide to Defense." "Professor Moody is indeed more suitable for teaching advanced students."

"I think Professor Moody should teach some practical magic. The magic that Professor Lupin mentioned in the "Defense Guide" is very practical." Angelina borrowed the "Defense Guide" from Albert.

"I'm more curious, is Azkaban really like what is described in the magazine?" Zannah had read Sirius's description of Azkaban Prison, and she could only describe it as horrific.

“I don’t think Blake deliberately exaggerated the situation in Azkaban.” To be honest, after reading Blake’s description of Azkaban, Albert finally understood why Hagrid was afraid of such a place.

This kind of gloomy, terrifying ghost place with an atmosphere of despair everywhere, I am afraid that only those crazy Death Eaters can survive, but it is undeniable that Azkaban Prison does have a strong deterrent effect on ordinary wizards.

"We should take the time to practice the magic mentioned in the "Defense Guide." George suggested, "There are many very practical magics in it that we don't know how to use."

 Many people looked this way. They actually hoped that Albert could continue the defense association last semester. Everyone can always learn a lot of useful things at the party.

“We can let Professor Moody spend some time teaching everyone.” Albert said without hesitation, “After all, he is a professional in this field, and he must be much better than a dabbler like me.”

Although it is true, everyone also heard that this was Albert's excuse. Moreover, it would be difficult to get Professor Moody to spend time teaching them the spells in the magazine.

After a while, distinctive thumping footsteps came from the corridor. Professor Moody walked over on crutches. He stood in front of the classroom door and took out a key from his pocket to open the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

"Today is a practical class." Moody announced to everyone after entering the classroom. "I will take turns to cast the Imperius Curse on each student to let everyone experience the effect of this curse and teach you how to resist its influence. .”

There was an uproar in the classroom. Everyone knew that the Imperius Curse was an Unforgivable Curse and had strong psychological resistance to it.

"Professor Dumbledore hopes you can feel..." Before Professor Moody could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a weak voice.

"Professor, I seem to be sick..." Albert suddenly said, "I'm afraid I have to go to the campus hospital."

Everyone turned to look at Albert, the expressions on their faces were a little confused, because they found that Albert, who was still alive and kicking, suddenly turned pale, with an abnormal flush, and looked special. Haggard.

"Professor, Albert seems to have a fever. I think he has the flu." George reached out to probe Albert's forehead and said immediately, "I will send him to the campus hospital right now!"

 Before Professor Moody could react, George took Albert and walked out of the classroom.

 Then, before everyone could react, he disappeared from their sight.

“That guy was fine just now, why did he suddenly have a fever?” the boy next to Cedric said, “Maybe he was pretending to be embarrassed later, so he pretended to be fake!”

“He doesn’t look like he’s pretending.” Cedric shook his head.

However, he probably guessed the reason. Albert most likely did not want Professor Moody to use the Imperius Curse on him, so he skipped the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon in this way.

Well, as long as the students in the classroom are clear-headed, they will know that Albert actually does not want Professor Moody to use the Imperius Curse on him, and uses this method to find a ladder for both parties.

As for how he did it, no one knew, but the look on his face just now clearly didn't look like he was pretending.

At this moment, Moody was confused. He originally planned to use this opportunity to test Albert's resistance to the Imperius Curse. However, after hearing the content of the class, Moody pretended to be sick and skipped class to sneak away. Don't give him any chance at all.

  Anyway, when everyone saw Albert in the auditorium, his face did not look like he had been sick and had a high fever just now.

“Albert, what method did you use in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class?” Angelina asked curiously, “It was like having a real high fever. How did you do it?”

 “Use this thing.” Fred mysteriously took out a two-color hard candy from his robe pocket.

"What's this?"

"Quick-acting truant candy, one of the magical candy series." Fred explained in a low voice: "If you eat this candy, you will have fever symptoms. Of course, if you use it directly, it is just an ordinary candy, even if you are a professor Take this thing out of your pocket and let you eat it, and you will find that it is just an ordinary candy."

“It’s very useful. Can you give us a few?” Angelina asked expectantly. “Maybe it will come in handy sometime.”

 “Two things are worth one.” George said without thinking.

 “So expensive?” The girls all stared.

“If we can improve the material formula and production tools, the price should be lowered to about one sieko. Now these are all made by hand, so it is normal for the price to be relatively expensive.”

Albert took out a few fever candies from the pocket of his robe, gave them one each, and warned, "I won't accept your sugar this time. Remember to keep it secret. The way to use it is to separate the candies and mark them with N." That part is the antidote.”

“What a genius idea, who came up with it?” Shanna looked at the candy in her hand.

"Fred and George." Albert changed the subject and said, "Tell me about what happened in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

After Albert changed the topic, the girls started chatting about interesting things in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. For example, Fred sang a Hogwarts school song about Professor Moody being controlled, and Cedric She danced an elegant ballet in front of everyone, almost shocking others' jaws.

In any case, no one among the sixth grade students could resist the spell. They only returned to normal after Moody removed the spell.

"What spell did Professor Moody use to eliminate the influence of the Imperius Curse?" Albert found this matter a bit strange.

If the Imperius Curse could really be lifted, the original Imperius Curse would not have had a serious impact on the British wizarding world. After all, as long as the person who has been hit by the Imperius Curse can be lifted every day, the risk of contact infiltration can be completely avoided.

 At least, he didn’t think wizards were all idiots, not even that.

Albert thought that when he went to see Dumbledore in two days, he could ask him about this matter. It would be better if Dumbledore knew the principle of the anti-thief waterfall.

However, Albert suspected that the anti-thief waterfall in Gringotts may be related to the magic of goblins. The magic of goblins and the magic of wizards are not in the same system.
