For the Hogwarts students, it was a long time ago that Filch's Lady Loris was attacked. Their memories are similar to those of fish, and if they can last for seven days, they are already quite remarkable.

"Hogwarts, a School History" in the school library is no longer sought after by the majority of students, and it is back on the shelves to eat dust.

After all, the description of the Slytherin Chamber in that book was only a pitiful few sentences. Except for a few students who like to read, there are very few people who have enough patience to nibble on this blunt book.

Miss Hermione Granger finally got her hands on the book, but she was disappointed by the account of the Chamber of Secrets.

Of course, she wasn't the only one disappointed, as there were twenty-three other students in front of her who had also borrowed the book, and that was from the time of the attack to the current number, an average of more than four a day.

For this reason, Hermione also asked Albert about the secret room, and the latter passed the matter on to Lockhart.

Time is like a gentle palm, gently smoothing everything.

Hogwarts has returned to its usual calm, and even the professors have reservations about whether or not the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets has been opened.

After all, a cat being petrified doesn't prove anything.

Albert also felt that most of the professors really didn't pay much attention to this matter, and the only one who cared about it was probably Mrs. Loris's owner, Mr. Filch, the administrator!

The caretaker is still working tirelessly in the castle to find the prisoner who attacked his cat, and his temper is getting more and more irritable day by day, causing a lot of trouble to everyone, especially when it rains, the Quidditch players who need to train under the rainstorm will always be troubled by the caretaker who has been unable to find the prisoner for a long time with the charge of "defiling the castle", and the two sides have clashed more than once.

If the attack is the most affected by anyone, it is none other than Ginny Weasley, and I don't know if it is related to the frequent use of Tom Riddle's diary, the red-haired girl was tortured and was about to go insane, and it looked like she could collapse at any time, and she was already suspecting that she was the culprit, but because she didn't dare to tell others casually, Tom's diary became the object of her frequent confiding in her heart, forming a bad cycle chain.

In addition to Filch and Ginny, Albert, who knows the truth, is estimated to be one of those who were deeply affected by the attack.

Since the attack, Albert's life has become busier, and due to the need to study the relationship between advanced shielding charms, he has even visited various clubs less, and even attracted the attention and inquiries of several professors, but he used the excuse of being too busy to prevaricate.

Albert was indeed very busy, busy researching how to deal with the basilisk, busy thinking about how to solve the problem, and these things took away a lot of his energy.

If there was any good news recently, it was probably that Bard had already helped Albert get a compound potion, but the old man didn't care what Albert was doing with it, and generously gave him a large bottle that he could use alone for a long time.

As for whom?

Albert had already made a choice between Lockhart and Malfoy, and the poor professor had been named the new backbiter.

No way, who makes every Defence Against the Dark Arts professor suspicious?

When the time comes, he can also take on the role of a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and do some indescribable tests on the diary.

To be honest, throw the blame on Lockhart, and Albert's conscience will not hurt.

He himself is a relatively cold-blooded guy, except for a few people who are more important, the life and death of others have nothing to do with him.

At this moment, the room is shrouded in a warm orange-red light, Albert is sitting by the roaring fireplace, drinking a cup of hot milk tea, glancing at the mirror on the small round table next to him, he is waiting to get in touch with someone again.

After the hour hand on the pocket watch finally crossed eight o'clock, the old man's soft call was finally heard in the two-way mirror, and Nicol's face appeared in the mirror.

"Good evening, Mr. Nicol. ”

Albert put down his teacup and greeted the old man in the mirror with a smile.

Next, it's Nicol's lecture time and Albert's puzzle time.

It's just that this time, Albert preemptively asked his doubts and the problems he encountered in learning advanced shielding charms.

Nicol listened patiently to Albert's story, and could see that Albert was very skilled in the use of masking charms, and he was still a little short of touching the edge of advanced use.

Nicol is highly accomplished in this area, and after listening to it, he slowly explains the advanced use of the shielding charm.

The stronger the spell, the more it can disguise its existence, making it easy for everyone to ignore and not be tracked down by others.

If Albert wanted to block the locks of the Shadow Charm, he could do so by using a sufficiently strong shielding charm on himself, which was simple and rude, but the consequence was that he would never receive any more letters from owls.

The other is to use it for a certain range, so that the person who enters that range cannot be tracked. It's a little more difficult, but it's also a common use of shielding spells, as is the case with Nicol's dwelling.

The last one is to use it on someone alone, that is, to block someone alone, which is a more advanced usage, and the difficulty is directly increased several times, after the release is successful, the targeted person can ignore his existence, even if he uses tracking spells and owls, he can't find himself, and others are not affected.

Albert proposed that the only way to create magic items that could shield themselves from their existence was to use the second method.

As for the magic items he made, he couldn't shield himself from the locks of the Shadow Spell well, a large part of the reason was that the magic items he made were not strong enough.

The old wizard also made a point to explain his own use of spells to him, and although he was not able to see the other party use it himself, he could only understand that Albert had a better understanding of the advanced use of the shielding charm by seeing that his experience was slowly improving.

The conversation was relaxed, they were like sitting in front of a computer and making a video call, except that Albert needed to be distracted and take notes.

The two chatted for about two hours before it ended.

Before the communication ended, Nicol told Albert that the refining of the elixir had ended, and that the amount of potions was enough to last for several years.

As for the Philosopher's Stone, it had been completely destroyed with the help of Dumbledore.

Albert actually felt that it was a waste to destroy the Philosopher's Stone, after all, it was Nicolame's life's work, and if he said that he would destroy it, he would destroy it. It may be that he doesn't have the courage and heart of Nicol, but Albert still respects their decision.

"By the way, Dumbledore hasn't solved the problem of the basilisk yet?" asked Dencol in the two-way mirror.

"No, Dumbledore may not have found the entrance to the chamber or wanted to capture the heir," Albert said, shaking his head.

He couldn't guess the headmaster's thoughts, Dumbledore was really powerful, but he was just a person after all, he didn't know the direction of the plot, and he didn't have the help of the system, so he could do that to that extent, in fact, he was already very powerful.

"Perhaps, you should take the time to talk to Dumbledore about this. Nicol suggested. He didn't want anything wrong with Albert, especially knowing that the so-called heir of Slytherin liked to go after Muggle wizards.

"I will. Albert added in his mind, "But not yet." ”

Fifty years ago, the Chamber of Secrets was opened, when Dumbledore taught Transfiguration at Hogwarts, Hagrid became the ultimate scapegoat, and Albert believed that Dumbledore wanted to catch the culprit at that time, but he couldn't do anything without any evidence after all.

The attack on Lady Loris has once again caught the attention of the Headmaster, and he now has to wait patiently, the so-called heir of Slytherin will sooner or later show his feet.

Perhaps, Dumbledore didn't know that "if you walk by the river, you can't get your shoes wet." But he obviously knew it, and was more patient than anyone else.
