Hogwarts Reading Days

"Everyone wants to be a great wizard like Headmaster Dumbledore."

Albert gently stirred the black tea in front of him with a spoon, picked it up and took a sip, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "Your craftsmanship is awesome, this is the best black tea I've ever had. If you can, Please don't have to teach me how to brew such a delicious cup of black tea."

If it was in his previous life, Albert really couldn't drink black tea whether it was good or bad, but in this life, he has drunk black tea for several years, and he can really feel it when he drinks it.

It can only be said that he really deserves to be a person who has lived for hundreds of years. The ratio of black tea, milk and sugar is really great.

"Of course." Perenal smiled, "Let me tell you, Albus doesn't really like the tea I made. He always said my tea was too weak."

"Everyone has their own favorite taste. I heard that Principal Dumbledore prefers sweets." Albert tasted another piece of buckwheat biscuit baked on the plate. It was also very good, with a strong wheat fragrance. The more fragrant it is, the less sweet it is.

For those who like sweets, it is not delicious!

The two old men recalled their first meeting with Dumbledore while talking.

The situation was similar to that of Albert, who met the LeMays through the introduction of other wizards.Unlike Albert, Dumbledore had been exchanging letters for several years before meeting the LeMays.

Dumbledore passed through France when he graduated from Hogwarts School and began to travel the world, and met the LeMays for the first time under the introduction of acquaintances.

When the two sides met for the first time, they had many common topics and had a very happy chat.

Later, Dumbledore stayed in France for several months, most of the time discussing magic and alchemy with Nicole.

"At that time, together we found other uses for dragon's blood and successfully created a spot remover."

"Principal Dumbledore discovered twelve uses of dragon's blood. I have memorized this in the book."

"How should I put it, this statement is actually wrong." Nico sipped his black tea and recalled, "When Albus found other uses of dragon blood, some uses of dragon blood had already been invented by other wizards, but , The exchange of information in that era was not as convenient as it is now, and not many people knew about it.”

"Later, Albus published a treatise on the uses of dragon's blood, which directly led most wizards to believe that Albus discovered twelve uses for dragon's blood."

"I still remember that Dumbledore once clarified this matter." Perenal said, "It's just that it has become like that from word of mouth, and no one really cares whether he invented the use of dragon blood. "

"I remember Ivan Dironsby once claimed that when Dumbledore "borrowed" his paper, he had discovered eight uses of dragon's blood." Harry Xis said with a smile about ten years A past event before, "In fact, Evan Dillons was one step behind, thinking that Dumbledore took away his achievements, so he went around slandering Dumbledore. That guy's reputation is not very good, I remember him Claiming to have cracked the recipe for Floo powder back then, and blowing himself out of the fireplace trying it out."

Listening to several people reminiscing about the past, Albert felt that he had learned a lot.Although he didn't care about Dumbledore's past, he didn't mind listening to it as a story. Sometimes it was really interesting, especially those dusty pasts.

The truth of history is often not necessarily the information recorded on parchment.

After all, that's what the winners write about.

"Please forgive me for my nagging, it's always like this when I get older." Nicole said to Albert with a smile while drinking the cold tea.

"No, these past events are very interesting." Albert shook his head and said that he didn't mind, "My grandfather also liked to tell me the old stories."

"By the way, can you tell me about the [-]th century, what kind of era was that?" He continued, "I heard that ancient magic was more prosperous than it is now, and many magic and alchemy have been developed in this era. Disappeared."

"It's not that it disappeared." Nico shook his head and said, "It's that it doesn't fit anymore."

"Not suitable?" Albert pondered what he meant.

"The fourteenth century, that era, was called the Dark Ages." The old man recalled, "To a certain extent, this statement is actually true. It was a very ignorant and dark age. Although wizards have Their own rules and constraints, but most of them are relatively unscrupulous, and they will not hide like wizards now, so they will create a false appearance of prosperity."

"Knowledge was very precious in that era, and many wizards would hide their knowledge. Since they rarely communicated with each other, wizards could only try to develop and master some magic, and most of these magics were messy spells. Magic is invaluable when you don't know much magic."

"However, most spells have been worn out by time."

"Sure enough, the so-called prosperity is just that they think they are prosperous." Albert murmured.

"Yes, it is undeniable that some magic has indeed been lost, but a lot of magic has survived the test of time." Nico explained softly, "It's just that this part of knowledge is well preserved and needs to be contacted specially. to know these things.”

"For ease of management?" Albert murmured.

"Yes, for ease of administration."

It wasn't Nico who answered him, but Mr. Harrisis who had been silent since just now.

"Maybe I shouldn't talk about it."

"Few people can see these things clearly." Nico said, "However, everything has two sides, and it is indeed more peaceful now than before."

"But it is undeniable that it was an era when even Muggles were very keen on alchemy." Nicol changed the topic, "It was indeed the era when alchemy was at its peak, and many theories, origins and researches were in that era born of time."

"For alchemy?"

"Yes, for alchemy, to get rich." Perenal said with a smile, "At least, most of the Muggles at that time were indeed for this purpose."

"Only you succeeded." Albert said with a smile.

"The Philosopher's Stone cannot refine gold." Nico shook his head and denied it.

"But you are already immortal."

"That's not gold. We didn't really realize it until later." Nico's tone was full of helplessness, "It's like gold made by using the transformation spell or the copying spell."

"Of course Muggles can't tell."

Realizing that Nico seemed reluctant to talk about the Philosopher's Stone, Albert diverted the topic in other directions.

Occasionally, he would ask some questions about alchemy, and he also took the protective bracelet he made to consult Nico, hoping that the other party could provide him with some good advice.

Niko really understood a lot of things, because the alchemy of that era included a lot of things. Although he might not be proficient when he was young, or even dabble in it, but people have lived for a long time, and they understand everything they need to know up.

Albert's situation is different, he is only a 13-year-old kid.

During the communication with Albert, Nicole vaguely realized that the boy in front of him had extraordinary talents.

It is very appropriate to describe it as magical.

In fact, Nico knows something about the Wild Smith family, and he has dealt with more than one "Wild Smith".

The topics they talked about next involved many fields, and Albert gave his own opinions based on his own understanding.

Even if he didn't look it up, he knew that the experience of panel skills was rising rapidly.

The chat continued intermittently for several hours. It was not until noon that the two sides stopped to prepare for lunch. Albert was enjoying French food when he realized that Harrises had quietly left.

"You can stay here temporarily, and Mr. Harrisis will come to pick you up in a few days." Perenal said to Albert.
