"It may rain later. Fred looked up at the cloudy ceiling above him and turned his head to the group sitting next to him.

"If I were you, I'd finish the food on my plate while it's hot, and it wouldn't taste good when it's cold. Albert was cutting the potato and egg pancakes on his plate with a knife and fork, and the house-elf had brought the dish to the students' plates.

"I wonder why you want it to rain. Angelina swallowed a large piece of bacon and looked at Fred with a strange expression.

The rainy season has been going on for a long time, and the rainy weather is really uncomfortable.

Fred was about to answer when he was interrupted. A student hurried up to Albert and said, "You're Albert, I've heard your name, and Professor Smith asked me to give it to you." ”

"Thank you. Albert nodded at the visitor.

"What's that?" Angelina asked curiously, "Invitation?"

"Invitation. Albert glanced at the parchment and said, "Professor Smith invited me to his place for tea. ”

A few people around looked at each other, and if it was someone else, they didn't believe it at all, but Albert was different, he was invited to tea by the professor, he was a regular visitor, and he often encountered this kind of thing last year.

"It's enviable. ”

If there are not many students in Hogwarts who can get special treatment from the professors, even the president of the student council does not necessarily have Albert's treatment, this is not only good grades, but also strong enough relationships.

As he spoke, an owl flew towards Albert and threw a package into Albert's arms, temporarily diverting everyone's attention.

Albert picked up the package, glanced at the sender's name, and guessed what the contents were.

Dragon's claw powder, an ingredient Albert bought from a pharmacy in Diagon Alley.

A while ago, he spent ten Galleons to buy a pint (568 ml) of dragon's claw powder from the drugstore, and now he has two of the hardest ingredients to make Bafei's brain rejuvenator.

"You're so popular. Arya's tone was odd. As they spoke, two more heavy letters were tossed in front of him by the owl, and Albert took them and stuffed them into the pockets of his robes.

"Your pen pal?" asked Shanna.

"Old friend. ”

Literally. George explained for Albert.

Several girls at the table were stunned and didn't react for a while.

"I've got to go, I'm going to have afternoon tea later. If it rains, you will be waiting for me in the common room. Before leaving, Albert reminded him, "Remember to finish your homework first." ”

"I always think that guy is mysterious. Shanna looked at Albert's departing back and couldn't help but mutter, "He seems to be hiding a lot of secrets." ”

"Who knows?"

"I heard he had a Ravenclaw girlfriend. Arya said suddenly.

"When it happened, we don't know. Fred looked at each other, staring in disbelief.

"It's that Ravenclaw genius. Arya pouted in a certain direction and continued, "A lot of people see them talking together a lot. ”

"I think they seemed to be two grades behind. "The girls gossip endlessly.

"In fact, they are only a year apart. Alya kindly reminded, "Albert's birthday is not until September. ”

"Genius and genius?

......

Albert didn't know that someone was gossiping about himself behind his back. As soon as I entered the Room of Requirement, I put on earmuffs for myself and began to perform the initial treatment of the mandrake.

"How does it feel like pickling dried turnips?" Albert spat as he buried the washed mandrake in a vat of salt.

Since he got a lot of salt, he naturally won't easily give up the opportunity to concoct a mandrake, although it will become a dangerous black magic item, but in Albert's opinion, it is completely worth paying this insignificant price, it is definitely a Yin artifact, the effect is comparable to a concussion bomb, and the sound itself is unguardable.

If, in the near future, Voldemort hadn't risen and the future had been easy, Albert wouldn't have been too keen on making such a thing.

After all, what do you say about black magic items? It is inherently dangerous, especially in the process of making, and it is said that wizards often come into contact with black magic items, which will affect a person's behavior and personality, and are very likely to make people more irritable and irritable.

After Dumbledore dies, Voldemort and his minions will openly trouble Muggle wizards, and they are Muggle wizards themselves, so they will naturally be in danger, and it is normal to want to get something to protect themselves.

While some things can't be sold, some can be used to start a business, and the fact that the Weasley twins in the story can make a lot of money is already very telling something.

Galleon may not be very important, but Galleon can sometimes solve a lot of problems, after all, you can't do it without money.

As a traverser, Albert is also well aware that wealth without power to protect is a sin in itself, and may eventually become the target of other people's plunder.

He needs strength, and that's important.

Next, it's time to get the cloak of the swamp digger, a magical creature that is the nemesis of the mandrake, and their favorite food is the mandrake, which can be pressed well as long as the skin of the swamp digger is made into a container to store the mandrake.

The so-called children dare not cry at night, probably to this extent!

Then there's the container for dark magic items, and ...... You need to learn the Traceless Stretching Spell, which seems to be strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic, and I don't know if you can find a book on it in the library.

Finally, when designing a combination container, you need to take into account the risk of carrying a black magic item with you.

Albert recorded these things in the alchemy notebook, closed it and took out another notebook, looked at the information on it confidently, and frowned slightly.

A new task appears on the Tasks panel.

There is another purpose

Everyone knows that the position of Professor of Dark Arts is cursed, and every wizard who comes to Hogwarts as a Professor of Dark Arts has his own reasons for taking risks. You seem to have discovered some secrets about Rowanna Smith's arrival at Hogwarts, so please find out why Professor Smith came to teach at Hogwarts.

Rewards: 2000 experience, 1 skill point, random Rowenna Smith skills.

Ever since this mission appeared, Albert had found Professor Smith a bit eccentric, and besides, he was now interested in ancient magic texts, and invited Albert over for tea?

Well, sure enough, it's weird no matter how you look at it.
