As soon as Albert left the principal's office, the portraits, who had been pretending to be asleep, began to come alive and discuss what had just happened.

The boy looked ...... Clever. The bald wizard in the portrait at the top right of the desk suddenly spoke, "He doesn't speak and act like a twelve-year-old boy, and adult wizards don't have the composure of him when they encounter such things." ”

"Mr. Anderson is smart and ...... Particularly. Dumbledore's glasses flashed with an unusual glow, and he whispered, "Of course, confident." ”

Yes, Albert is confident.

"I also think he expected this to be the case. The curly-haired witch next to the portrait of the bald old wizard spoke, "He clearly knows the value of the Gold membership card, and knows that Hertock won't give it up easily." ”

"It's obvious. Dumbledore said

Albert naturally knew the value of the gold membership card, and knew that Hertok would not give up, that thing was too important for the pharmacist.

An old wizard with a goatee and a silver and green pajama said, "I don't like him very much." ”

"What surprises me, Phineas, what makes you dislike that boy?" a shrewd-looking witch asked, holding up a thick wand made of birch strips, "Muggle wizard status, or his last words?"

"What did I just say?" Phineas covered a yawn, pretending he had just woken up and forgotten what he had just said.

It would be bad for him to continue this topic.

"That boy has a lot of magical talent, a lot of talent, not quite like a Muggle wizard. A frail old wizard spoke.

"He's a Muggle wizard, Armando. Dumbledore said calmly, "However, if you go back a few generations, it should be a side line of Smith." ”

"Is that the famous Smith family?" the former headmaster was a little surprised, he knew something about the mysterious Smith family.

"Well, I think so. Dumbledore said, "Last semester, I looked up his information, Anderson's grandfather was a Squib, and his father was a Muggle, but Anderson himself is indeed a rare genius of magic. ”

"It's rare to hear you describe a person as genius. The curly-haired old witch said.

"Dumbledore wants to say that boy will be the next him?" Phineas said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "a sphinx of wisdom and courage?"

"Mr. Anderson is better than me. Dumbledore didn't shy away from his praise.

"It's certainly the funniest joke I've ever heard this century. Phineas clutched his stomach and laughed exaggeratedly.

It's just that he was the only one laughing in the principal's room, which made the former headmaster feel very bored, and the laughter gradually subsided.

"Mr. Anderson has surpassed too many others in the study of ancient magic texts. Dumbledore remembered what the other party had said about Albert during a small talk with Broad:

Albert, a genius.

Especially in the study of ancient magic texts, he has an almost natural instinct, and he can master knowledge that many people may not be able to grasp in a lifetime without any effort.

Later, Albert looked for books in the library and helped MacDoug revise his new book, which Dumbledore naturally knew.

To be honest, he didn't fully understand McDoug's book himself.

Since Albert went deep into the Forbidden Forest a few months ago to rescue Fred and George, Dumbledore has a higher opinion of Albert and admires Broad's eyesight.

Without extraordinary courage, wisdom and strength, it is very likely that after going deep into the Forbidden Forest, you will not be able to come back.

The periphery of the Forbidden Forest is not dangerous, but the depths are dangerous!

"It's no surprise that the Smith family always has some genius coming up. Phineas pouted.

Although Blake hates to admit it, the Smith family does have a much older history than Blake, and it is a very mysterious family.

As for why the Smith family is mysterious?

Even the people of the Smith family did not know the mystery of the Smith family.

Even fewer people know about these things.

Only those wizards who have lived long enough and are wise enough are likely to find some clues in the long years.

Rumor has it that someone in the Smith family will inherit the so-called secret.

Who's this man?

No one ever knew.

Anyway, that's what it used to say.

However, it is through this strange way of passing on that the secrets of the Smith family are preserved.

It's just that no one ever knows what secrets the Smith family is hiding.

If you ask the direct heirs of Smith?

He could only helplessly say, I don't know either!

"There have been quite a few good wizards in that family. Dumbledore nodded in agreement with Phineas, and Rowanna was a direct member of Smith's, "I remember...... Broad has a good relationship with Rowanna. ”

Hertock would say that Broad has a wide circle, but he is not wrong.

The more famous wizards in Britain and even Europe knew them and maintained friendly relations.

It's just that this is a looser group, and most people are usually neutral, and the rules for entering this circle are to show amazing talent in some way, to be favored by them, and to keep in touch through correspondence.

As for why did Dumbledore know?

That's because he's also part of the circle.

Before graduating from Hogwarts, Dumbledore met a number of very famous wizards, received help from them, and kept a friendly correspondence with them.

It wasn't until Dumbledore entered the Wizengamot that he faintly saw the terrifying influence of this loose and large circle.

Together, if they wanted to, they could decide a Wizengamot Supreme Court verdict or get some of the Minister of Magic out of office who had done a terrible job.

Although, they never did, and perhaps because they didn't, no one ever noticed the problem.

But, Dumbledore found out.

Because he has a good relationship with most of the members of the Wizengamot.

The topic of the portraits of the principals has been pulled back again.

"The boy seems to have a dislike for the Ministry of Magic. ”

"It's really a matter for the Ministry of Magic, Evra, and I'd be angry if it were me. ”

"I thought you were the best-grumpy of us, Talis. ”

"Good temper does not mean weakness. Dai Lisi said, "I support his approach, I guess the director himself has problems." ”

But he seems to be ready to step down the head of the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic. That's what Evra doesn't like.

"No, he just asked Hertock to tell the truth. Dumbledore smiled, "She'll agree to apologize, as Anderson said, it's the cheapest solution." ”
