Chapter 443: Cognitive Biases
Ever since mastering Voldemort's spell casting technique, Albert has spent a lot of time and energy practicing it, trying to master it thoroughly.
Isobel also learns this new spell with Albert, and the speed of learning is so fast that Albert can't help but wonder which of the two of them is hanging up.
"You're amazing. ”
Seeing that Isobel was skillfully using Voldemort's spell casting technique, the expression on Albert's face was complicated, his learning progress was naturally faster than Isobel, but if it wasn't for the addition of the panel, he would have been thrown out of the other party several streets long ago.
"You're the one who is really good. Isobel kissed Albert on the forehead as if he were a child, and said softly, "I'm just imitating you." ”
In fact, Isobel was also confused and didn't understand why Albert had such a complicated expression.
In her eyes, Albert is worthy of being a genius among geniuses, and has even begun to create his own spell casting techniques, and being able to explain them to her one by one in great detail does not mean that this spell casting technique is very mature.
Can it be immature?
Voldemort himself didn't know how many years it had been, and it had been perfected in practice, comparable to the record he had left behind when he had not won Barnabus Finkley's Award for Outstanding Spellcasting.
"Most wizards don't care much about spell casting, they don't even have the concept of it. Albert turned the slippers on the table into a rabbit, "I can't see the spells of the other professors. ”
"It's normal not to see it, unless you deliberately learn it, deliberately observe and study it, otherwise the spell-casting techniques of ordinary wizards are more derived from the habit of casting spells on weekdays. Isobel tapped the rabbit with his wand, turning it into a kitten.
"Only a wizard who really specializes in magic would take the time and energy to pay attention to this issue?" Albert probably understood what Isobel meant.
Do ordinary people pay attention to it?
No, even if it's a professor in school, I'm afraid not.
"Professor Flitwick's spell-casting technique is very clever, and he should have invented it himself, and last year's Rowanna Smith's spell-casting technique was learned from the records of Barnabus Finkeley's Award for Excellence in Spell-Casting Techniques, and it is not surprising that the Smith family has a record of this. Isobel picked up the kitten and pinched its soft cheek, "Rowanna's set should have been improved for his own use, though." ”
"You can see that?" Albert admired Isobel's eyesight.
"I didn't see it, I knew it because I had asked Rowanna about something similar. ”
"And how did you see my spell casting?"
Albert was even more curious.
"You were too deliberate at the time, and wizards who have known how to cast spells can naturally feel it. Isobel suddenly laughed, "However, I was more of a casual question. ”
"Oh, I see. ”
Albert had also considered whether he would be directly targeted by Dumbledore if he used Voldemort's spell-casting techniques, and now it seems that as long as he is proficient in spell-casting techniques, even if he uses them in front of the headmaster, he should not be paid special attention to.
After all, no one would associate Albert with Voldemort.
Moreover, the probability of him casting a spell in front of the headmaster is probably not too high.
"What are you thinking?"
"Nothing. Albert couldn't help but sigh, "The more you delve into magic, the more complex it feels. ”
"There aren't many people who think that way. Isobel said softly, "Most wizards only learn superficial magic, and I am no exception, there are very few wizards who study magic deeply. ”
Albert suddenly fell silent, feeling that he was thinking too much, he was not a wizard who liked to delve into the nature of magic.
......
In recent days, Albert has been running to Hagrid's side to find out if Quirrell has given Hagrid dragon eggs or if he has entered the Forbidden Forest to hunt unicorns.
As the two chatted over tea, Hagrid told him Harry's reminder.
"Well, if it were me, I would probably say the same thing. ”
After listening to Hagrid's words, Albert couldn't help but laugh, "Did you tell Dumbledore about it?" ”
"No, I don't think Dumbledore should be bothered with this kind of thing. Hagrid shook his head.
"Actually, I think you can talk to Dumbledore about it, he'll definitely be interested in Potter. Albert smiled and suggested, "After all, Headmaster Dumbledore was there for the second Quidditch match of the year, wasn't he?"
"You also think Professor Snape is suspicious?"
"I don't like Snape. Albert took a sip of his tea and looked at Tom, who was in the corner and didn't know what to do, "I think he's suspicious anyway." ”
Hagrid opened his mouth and stared blankly at Albert, who was drinking tea, and suddenly did not know what to say.
"You should also know that Snape doesn't look like a good guy at first glance. Albert smiled at Hagrid's expression, "I suspect he does it because some of his own practices do look suspicious." ”
"I think Albert was right, Snape wasn't a good guy at first glance. Harry, who had just walked into Hagrid's cabin, nodded in support of Albert's point.
"I'm sorry, I can't hold back. Ron couldn't help but burst out laughing, and after noticing everyone's gaze, he quickly explained, "Albert's words are so incisive, I completely agree. ”
"Hagrid, I suspect Snape is forcing Professor Quirrell to tell him how to get past the level of protecting the Philosopher's Stone. Harry saw Hagrid's deep frown, and told him what had happened a while ago.
"Harry, do you know what you're talking about. ”
Hagrid disagreed with Harry's accusation that the professor had been at Hogwarts for several years, and if he was really not credible, how could Dumbledore allow him to stay at Hogwarts to teach?
Hagrid didn't believe in Snape, but he believed in Dumbledore.
"Of course I'm very clear. Harry said dryly.
"Don't worry, Harry, no one can steal the Philosopher's Stone, let alone pass through Loe. Hagrid almost patted his chest and promised.
Speaking of Lou Wei's matter, Hagrid couldn't help but sneak a glance at Albert, he had actually told Dumbledore about it, but the headmaster said that Albert wouldn't have the idea of hitting the Philosopher's Stone, so Hagrid didn't pay much attention to it.
Albert also noticed Hagrid's gaze at him, but he didn't pay much attention to it, because he saw his own Tom pulling a fat mouse out of the corner.
"Tom, don't eat that mess. Albert stepped forward to stop it.
"Don't your cats eat mice?" asked Hermione, confused.
"It hasn't eaten mice. Albert took out his wand and stunned the rat, then scooped his Tom out of the ground.
"It's so fat. Ron muttered quietly, "I didn't expect to catch rats with this size." ”
"Hagrid. Harry wanted to bring the conversation back to the table, "Didn't you say Gringotts was safe before, but there were still dark wizards who broke into Gringotts, and even the goblin didn't catch the dark wizard. Maybe Hogwarts is safe, but Gringotts can be invaded, so why don't you think Hogwarts can't?"
