Chapter 428: Guidance

Does Quirrell try to make Philosopher's Stones?

It would be so much fun if Quirrell did try.

The formula for the Philosopher's Stone has been circulating in the wizarding world for a long time, and most wizards who have studied alchemy know that this thing exists, and no one knows whether the formula is real or fake.

Albert thinks the formula for the Philosopher's Stone is a fake.

After all, there is no second Philosopher's Stone in this world.

Quirrell had never been exposed to alchemy, so he shouldn't be able to figure out the authenticity of the Philosopher's Stone formula for a while, and he didn't know when he would fully react.

After trying and failing to refine the Philosopher's Stone yourself?

Or was it Voldemort's poignant reminder when he found out?

Or, Quirrell was blinded and couldn't figure out what to do.

Albert felt that the third possibility was more likely, Quirrell had never touched the field of alchemy, and it was most likely that he would be caught blind.

Although Albert wanted Quirrell to spend time making the Philosopher's Stone, he suddenly realized that he had spent a lot of time and money on it, and ended up with a waste stone.

It's just that what will become of this matter is not something he can control personally.

Next, Albert will take the initiative to find Hermione, give them another translated formula for the Philosopher's Stone, and guide them to Nicol Lemay's information. Anyway, Harry Potter will eventually know about Nicol Lemay, so it wouldn't be better to just let himself be used as a favor.

"You say what is written on this parchment is fake?" asked Hermione, confused.

"Just look up what the Philosopher's Stone is, and you'll know why I say it's fake. Albert said mysteriously.

At this time, Ron came to Hermione with a wizard's chess game, and Hermione herself had never played a few games of wizarding chess at all, so he suggested playing wizard cards instead.

Unfortunately, Ron himself didn't know how to play wizard cards, and he didn't have his own deck, so he naturally didn't want to play wizard cards, and when he saw Hermione reading the contents of the parchment, he gave up his plan to play chess with her, and instead invited Albert to play wizard chess.

Albert, who was scooping up his cat, thought about it and agreed, as a way to pass the time after dinner, and also to test Ron's wizarding chess skills by the way.

After all, he was going to break into the chessboard set up by Professor McGonagall another day.

The two had barely reached the halfway point when they saw Harry hurrying back to the common room.

"Your face isn't good-looking, shouldn't you be sick in the rain?" Hermione, who was watching the two of them play chess, asked worriedly as she looked up at Harry who walked by.

"He'd probably want to tell you about Snape's preparation to be a referee!" Albert commanded the Queen to eat Ron's knights, preempting Harry and telling Ron and Hermione the bad news.

Being preemptively spoken, Harry felt his chest clog uncomfortably.

"Oh my God, it's not fair, how could Snape be qualified to be a referee, everyone knows he hates Gryffindor students. Ron looked at Harry in disbelief, wanting to learn the truth from Harry himself.

"It's true, Wood just told me. Harry said depressedly, "Against the Hufflepuffs, Snape will be off the pitch to referee. ”

"Don't compete. Hermione said immediately.

"Just say you're sick. Ron said, "If you can't, you'll break your leg." ”

"Don't be nervous, Snape isn't as scary as you think. Albert looked at the two of them speechlessly, how did it sound as if Potter was going to face a terrible monster, "And Ron, if you don't play chess seriously, you will lose this game." ”

Ron's wizarding chess skills are not bad, at least better than most of the people Albert knew, so it's no wonder that he was able to pass Professor McGonagall's chess game.

"Oh no, it's already lost!"

Ron looked at the chessboard for a long time, depressed to find that after his knight was eliminated, the whole game fell into a complete disadvantage, and the last chance to turn defeat into victory was completely gone.

Just then, a fat-faced boy falls into the common room. His legs were glued tightly together, apparently under the Leg-Locking Charm.

Everyone was laughing when they saw the boy's embarrassed appearance, and Hermione immediately stepped forward to undo the spell.

"What's going on, Neville?" asked Harry.

"Malfoy," Neville's voice trembled slightly, "I ran into him outside the library, and he was looking for someone to practice the Leg Lock Charm. ”

"Go to Professor McGonagall!" suggested Hermione, "sue him!"

"I don't want to get in trouble anymore. Neville shook his head, muttering vaguely.

"If you're timid, people will just bully you even more. Albert frowned slightly, it was not the first time he had encountered school violence, and weakness would only be bullied.

"What should I do?" Neville asked, choked up.

"You should practice spells well, and the next time Malfoy dares to cast a spell on you, you can just find an excuse to teach the other person a hard lesson. Albert narrowed his eyes and suggested, "If you can't, punch him by surprise, and if you knock off his wand, the other party will be like a Muggle." ”

"Yes, that's a great idea!" said Harry, agreeing with Albert.

"I can't do it. Neville said sadly, "I don't like to fight. ”

"But others are going to bully you. Ron didn't like Neville's personality, "You're too cowardly. ”

"Can't help him?" Hermione looked at Albert.

"It takes him to be brave. Albert smoothed Tom's hair and said.

"I know I'm cowardly," Neville choked up, "and Malfoy says I don't deserve to be in Gryffindor. ”

"Alright, don't be sad, at least the Sorting Hat has assigned you to Gryffindor, and it thinks you don't lack courage. Albert pulled out a candy and handed it to Neville.

"Thank you. Neville peeled off the candy and put it in his mouth.

"If you don't want to be bullied, you should be courageous. Albert said to Neville, "It's not as hard as you think to muster courage, and if someone tried to bully your most important person, would you watch it?"

Neville's face turned pale, and he clenched his fists and walked silently towards the boys' dormitory.

"Neville is too timid. Ron shook his head.

"He just lacks the courage to take the first step. Albert left with his cat.

"What's that in your hand?" Ron asked curiously, looking at the parchment Hermione was holding in his hand.

"This is what Albert just gave me, remember the parchment that was found in the last treasure store?" Hermione explained.

"Oh, that's that pit treasure map!" Ron couldn't help but spit out, "there's something written on it." ”

"This is the recipe for the Philosopher's Stone. Hermione hesitated, but said, "Albert said the recipe was fake. ”

"Fake?"

As soon as Harry heard that the recipe was fake, most of his interest in parchment vanished.

"How would he have known this was fake?" Ron said with a slight frown.

"He didn't say, let me check for myself what the Philosopher's Stone is, and I'll know why this parchment is fake. Hermione was going to take the time to find out what the Philosopher's Stone was.
