Chapter 197: I Have Galleons
Placing Cattrina's riddle bet during a Quidditch match was undoubtedly not intended to be watched by anyone else, and perhaps Isobel had his own considerations and apparently didn't want too many people to know the secrets of getting in and out of Ravenclaw.
Although, students from other colleges can successfully answer riddles, the chances of entering the Ravenclaw common room are low.
"Wait!"
Before Isobel could turn to leave, Albert suddenly stopped her.
"Is there a real thing?" said Isobel, who stopped and turned to look at Albert.
"Professor Snape has a capability, you know, when I look at him, I feel like he's seeing through it. Albert took a few quick steps and walked side by side with Isobel in the hallway, "Do you know what's going on?"
"Why do you think that?" said Isobel, after a moment of silence.
"I think it's supposed to be magic. Albert said as he walked, "In the Muggle world, there is a saying called mind reading. ”
Isobel stopped, stared sideways at Albert and asked, "You want to learn this magic?"
"No, I want to find a way to counter him. Albert looked helpless, "No one wants to be read what they're thinking, especially Professor Snape. To be honest, I hate the feeling of being seen through. ”
"You mean the Deception?"
"So, sure enough, it's magic. Albert had a look on his face.
"Regents can be used for cheating on exams. Isobel also stopped, looked Albert up and down, and suddenly said, "Of course, you probably don't need to cheat." ”
"Is there any way to counter it?" Albert immediately asked, "I mean magic that can protect oneself from being read by others." ”
"Occlumency, there should be this kind of book in the forbidden area. Isobel stared into Albert's eyes and said coldly, "Actually, you know, right!"
"What's the matter?" Albert asked, looking away, pretending to be confused.
"Something about Occlumency. The expression on Isobel's face still hadn't changed much, "Or, the matter of the deception." ”
"Well, I found something similar in the library, but I didn't find any books about it. Albert knew that he couldn't hide it from the other party, so he didn't continue to pretend to be stupid, otherwise he would really become a fool.
Isobel gave Albert a deep look and looked away.
"I hope to be able to find books about it. Of course, if you know how to use this magic and are willing to teach me, so much the better. Albert said with a smile.
"I do do Occlumency. Isobel said.
I really do!
Albert just said casually, but I didn't expect Isobel to say that he would do this brain occlusion!
Albert was silent for a moment, and then suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked tentatively, "Did Mr. McDoug teach it?"
"Why do you ask that?" asked Isobel quietly, for Albert had guessed correctly.
"So, I guessed right. Albert said to himself, "This Easter, I was taken by Professor Broad to Mr. McDoug's party......"
Isobel suddenly made a shushing gesture at him, and on the other side of the hallway, someone was walking this way, it was Professor Smith.
Albert was a little confused, but he didn't say anything more, and when he looked back, he found that Professor Rowanna Smith had appeared a few steps away from them.
"Good afternoon. Professor Smith greeted the two with a smile, and then his eyes fell on Albert, "Did you write back to them?"
"Yes, I wrote back a few days ago. Albert nodded.
"That's good. Professor Smith suddenly asked, "By the way, what are you talking about?"
"We're talking about ancient scriptures. Albert casually explained, "Professor Barblin has prepared a book on ancient scriptures, and I want me to help her revise this part of the manuscript, and Izebel is also very good at ancient scriptures, and I asked her if she would like to help." ”
"Revised manuscript?" Smith looked at Albert in surprise, and he was relieved to remember that Mr. McDoug had done this to Albert before.
"My knowledge of ancient magic is far inferior to Albert's. Isobel politely refused.
"Well, that's a good thing. Professor Smith smiled and said, "Okay, remember to tell me, I'll go buy a copy and read it." ”
"I'll make a note of it. Albert said seriously. As he spoke, he really took out a notebook from his pocket and simply wrote down this sentence on it.
At this moment, both Isobel and Professor Smith were stunned.
None of them expected that Albert would actually write it down.
After Professor Smith walked away, the two continued the topic they had just discussed.
"By the way," Albert asked. "Can you teach me Occlumency?"
"Why should I teach you?" asked Isobel rhetorically.
"I have Gareons. Albert said without thinking.
"I'm just getting started. "Isobel wasn't lying, she learned Occlumency this summer, as Albert said, and his uncle, Mog McDoug, taught it.
However, you can agree with that sentence just now, right?
"It doesn't matter, I just need you to get me started. Without thinking, Albert said, "I'll figure out the rest." ”
As he spoke, Albert crossed his two index fingers together, "How about the price?"
"Are you really rich?" said Isobel meaningfully.
"Learning apparition also requires Galleons. Albert disagreed, "Of course, because you're not regular, I think the price is right." ”
"Yes, as long as you don't regret it. Isobel agreed.
"When?" Albert asked.
"Sunday, once a week, in the Transfiguration Club classroom. Isobel thought for a moment and reminded: "Don't expect too much, I'm not good at retrieving spirits, and besides, I won't retreat from Galleons." ”
"No problem. Albert laughed and said, "If you know of any books on Occlumency, you can tell me." ”
"This ...... the Advanced Occlumency Guide. Isobel hesitated for a moment, but then said, "This is the book that my uncle showed me at the beginning, if you want to find it, you should be able to find it in the forbidden area of the school." ”
"See you over the weekend!" Abel nodded and prepared to turn and leave.
"You don't have to worry about me lying to you. Isobel said curiously.
"Will you?" Albert asked rhetorically, "What's more, I have Galleons." ”
Isobel's cheeks twitched, and this kind of talk always felt like an explosive rich. Of course, she believed Albert's words, after all, how could the guy who took ten Galleons out to bet with Katrina be without Galleons?
As for playing yourself with this?
Isobel doesn't think that's likely.
Although the trust between the two sides is not high, the social circles of the two now and even in the future are destined to overlap a large part, whether it is Albert or Isobel, they have actually discovered this. Moreover, both sides are geniuses and have their own pride, and they will not and disdain to do that kind of tasteless thing at all.
Of course, in Isobel's opinion, Albert is a rich man, and she does not think that the other party can easily master Occlumency.
However, Isobel obviously doesn't know that there is something in this world called cheating.
