Chapter 209: I want to grow up quickly
As soon as Albert and the others returned to the common room, they heard the rest of the students talking about this year's Halloween performance, and the famous Hogwarts choir will present a newly rehearsed chorus for the school's teachers and students on Halloween night.
Hogwarts Choir?
Albert remembered the chorus of last year's admission, and the group of people holding large toads in their hands looked really "funny".
In the common room, Albert sat in an armchair doing his homework. After a long time, he stood up and moved his body, took out a thick book from his bag, sat back in the armchair, and flipped through it without hurry
, by the way, take the opportunity to check out the panel tasks that appeared not long ago.
The dead.
You stumble upon Peter Pettigrew, who was supposed to die, but now he appears at Hogwarts, which seems to involve a big secret, how can you give up the opportunity to dig into this secret? Find out why Peter Pettigrew is playing dead.
Rewards: 2000 experience, 1 skill point.
"It's not a difficult task to accomplish. Albert remembered that Peter Pettigrew pretended to be dead because he was the secret keeper of the Potters, but eventually defected to Voldemort, resulting in the killing of the Potters, who were protected by the Loyalty Curse, and Peter Pettigrew also blamed Sirius Black for this, resulting in the other party being captured in Azkaban for more than ten years.
If you don't remember part of the plot, this task is probably really not easy to do.
Albert thought to himself, his eyes falling on another task.
First acquaintance with mandrakes.
You've got a rudimentary idea of the mandrake, but this magical plant can be used for more than you think, get a mandrake and dig deeper.
Bonus: Basic knowledge of mandrakes.
When Albert saw this task reward, he was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect that there would really be such a strange task reward.
Basic knowledge of mandrakes?
Common sense?
That is, the knowledge about mandrakes?
But where do you get the mandrake? Is it possible to steal a pot from the greenhouse?
To be honest, Albert didn't want to do it if he could, and the mandrake stolen from the greenhouse wasn't ripe yet.
Is it possible to get a pot of mature mandrake from the black market?
Albert remembered that there was a guy in the Order of the Phoenix who did just that, but he couldn't remember the name of that guy anymore.
Moreover, Albert also found a big problem, how did he get the items he wanted from the black market!
At Albert's current age, he was not suitable to appear in front of a black marketeer.
Is it difficult to find someone to buy on your behalf?
Hagrid?
Albert immediately shook his head and denied the idea, and Hagrid probably wouldn't help him in this matter.
Albert himself had no good access to these things, otherwise he would have been completely exposed.
Why hadn't he noticed this big problem before?
No, it should be said that Albert is actually aware of this problem, but he himself thinks that he can solve the problem of the task, but how to solve the problem of age...... Compounds?
I'm afraid not.
Use the Imperius Curse to control one person to help trade?
No, the Imperius Curse itself is illegal, and it is even more troublesome to be discovered.
Or...... Write a letter to Hertok Dagworth asking for the help of this potions expert?
I'm afraid it still won't work, I'm afraid Dagworth won't help.
"Age, indeed, is the biggest problem!" Albert thought distressedly.
It's been smooth sailing, but the result is a little taken for granted!
It's hard to get unprocessed mandrakes in pharmacies!
Well, by the way, there's also the Elixir!
Albert wasn't sure if a sip of the elixir would help him solve this big problem.
"Alas!"
With a deep sigh, Albert returned to his dormitory, found the letter sent to him by Dagworth from the box containing the letters, read it, took out his quill and began to write a reply to the other party.
With his potions mastery, Albert was occasionally able to make surprising remarks in his correspondence with Hertok Dagworth, and the two had a good conversation about improving potions.
At the end of the parchment, Albert writes about mandrakes in his herb class, asking if he can help him.
After writing the letter and stuffing the parchment into the envelope, Albert took a deep breath, he didn't really expect Dagworth to really help.
"Albert. Fred suddenly looked up and said, "Have you finished writing that Grindy Lowe paper in Defense Against the Dark Arts class?"
"Oh, I'll see where I put it. Albert opened his bag, picked up "Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense" and rummaged through it, finding that he had not found a paper on Grindy Lowe.
"What's wrong?" Fred asked, with a strange expression, "Haven't you written yet?"
"Probably...... Albert took out his notebook and looked at it, and sure enough, Grindy Lowe's paper was not ticked.
"There are times when you forget to do your homework. Lee Jordan couldn't help but joke, "Why don't you borrow my share?"
"Have you ever borrowed a book about Grindy Lowe. Albert frowned and asked, this is going to finish this paper tonight, although this paper is ......?
"Oh, no! isn't this the homework assigned in Defence Against the Dark Arts class today?" Albert snapped back to his senses, turning his head and glaring at the three Fred, knowing that he had just been tricked by these guys.
"Don't be angry, we see you've been thinking about it, and Fred said you're going to ......," George forced himself not to laugh.
"Nonsense, when did I say it. Fred immediately shirked his responsibility.
Albert couldn't help but roll his eyes at the three of them, ignoring the three teases, he glanced at his pocket watch, packed his things and prepared to go back to the dormitory to rest.
"Don't be angry, it's just a joke. Lee Jordan hurriedly said.
After returning to the dormitory, Albert made sure that no one was eavesdropping on the map of the living spots, and then sorted out the affairs of Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black, and James Potter, and the task of the "dead man" was completed by himself, which was easier than drinking water.
1 skill point is credited.
Reveal secrets.
You've discovered Peter Pettigrew's crimes, and you've made it public so that everyone knows what kind of person he is.
Reward: 5000 experience.
"It seems that this is a continuous mission. Albert grunted. He remembered that the rewards for the last consecutive mission were abundant.
However, this should be completed in a few years, as for doing it now, it's too early, if the follow-up task is gone, it will be a fool.
As for Blake's grievances, it's his own business.
Locked up in Azkaban, most of the pot was Blake's own question.
At that time, Blake did not deny the incident, which led to the Ministry of Magic convicting him without trial and throwing him into Azkaban, who is to blame!
