This gathering is not only for academic exchanges, but also to strengthen the relationship between everyone and expand the network, in a way, it is an enhanced version of Professor Horace Slughorn's Slug Club in the Half-Blood Prince.

Professor Broder had the house-elves prepare a sumptuous dinner, and Albert had the privilege of tasting the delicacies of other countries, and it was clear that more than one house-elf was busy in the kitchen, and a large amount of food was served to the table.

Of course, when it comes to European cuisine, I'm afraid most people think of France and Italy. In fact, most of the food on the table comes from these two countries.

At this small banquet, Albert turned into a little transparent, silently eating food, listening to everyone talk about interesting things about the wizarding world.

For example, in some of the shady aspects of the election of the British Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge becoming Minister of Magic was not at all just an accident as it seemed.

Many people are optimistic about Barty Crouch taking the position of Minister of Magic, but in order to combat him, many wizards use the fact that his son Barty Jr. is a Death Eater to discredit him.

Later, as everyone knows, Dumbledore politely declined the invitation of the Minister of Magic, and finally Fudge, who was befriended by the pure-blood wizard, was offered the position of Minister of Magic.

However, to discredit Barty Crouch, Fudge is one of them.

"Mr. Anderson, what do you think about this?" Professor Broad looked at Albert, who was eating.

Albert put down his fork, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said calmly, "Barty Crouch is Barty Crouch, his son is his son, no matter what his son does, it can't erase Barty Crouch's former credit." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Professor Broad was probably a little surprised to get such an answer, but he was obviously quite satisfied.

Of course, you can't expect all of us to exercise rational judgment, and most of us are susceptible to outside influences. Albert suddenly said, "What would happen if Harry Potter, who had defeated the Mystery, suddenly announced to everyone that the Mystic Man was still alive?"

What will happen?

Everyone would surely think that their savior had gone mad.

"Don't talk about it to anyone. Professor Broad kindly reminded, "The people of the wizarding world can't accept this fact, and they will only do their best to deny it." ”

This was addressed to Albert, reminding him that there was no need to get himself in trouble.

"It's obvious. Albert shrugged his shoulders and continued to savor food he hadn't tried.

Adolf appropriately digressed from the topic and talked about the recent bad news at Durmstrang College, where the new headmaster, Igor Karkaroff, had made the school's reputation even more stinky, and many parents of students had taken their children out of the school and transferred to Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Nelson told everyone the latest news he had gotten because some students copied the Grindelwald logo to textbooks and clothes in an attempt to scare others with it, but those who had lost loved ones because of Grindelwald had taught them some lessons.

"I've read about this school in books, and it's said that Durmstrang House is popular with dark arts and doesn't accept Muggle wizards. Albert asked curiously, "By the way, what is Grindelwald's mark?" he asked knowingly.

In fact, that's not a sign of Grindelwald, as only the ignorant would think. Nelson drew a Deathly Hallows mark with his wand, which looked like a triangular eye with a vertical line in the middle of his pupil.

He shook his head helplessly and said, "This mark comes from the legend of the three brothers, Mr. Anderson, have you heard of the legend of the three brothers?" ”

"The legend of the three brothers in The Tales of the Poet Bean?" Albert nodded to indicate that he had seen it.

"Yes, the triangle symbolizes the cloak of invisibility, the circle symbolizes the resurrection stone, and the vertical symbol symbolizes the wand. Adolf explained, "The legend of the three brothers is actually very famous in our circles, and everyone thinks that those legendary objects are the products of alchemy. ”

"Why would Grindelwald use it as a marker?" Albert continued.

"We think Grindelwald has found the legendary item. "Of course, this cannot be confirmed. There are many legends in the wizarding world, but some of them may be different from the original facts, but they are not unfounded. ”

"Like a philosopher's stone that can concoct an elixir?" Albert smiled, not denying anything, because he knew more than anyone else, and Grindelwald did get the Elder Wand.

When everyone talks about the recent ban on trade list released by the British Ministry of Magic,

Claude introduced his kind and helpful friend, Mr. Delacul, who worked for the Enchanted Gardens and occasionally visited the door as a supplier of raw materials, and offered to introduce them if needed.

The Enchanted Garden is a great place to be, with a lot of rare magical plants on display, which are available in limited quantities.

Of course, the most noteworthy thing about this Mr. Delacour is that he has a wife of Meiwa blood, and his daughter is also very good at Beauxbatons School of Magic.

Adolf even jokingly said that Albert's French was so good that he could try to make a French pen pal.

Towards the end of the feast, everyone focused on Albert and were surprised to learn that he was "Mabo".

"What's Mabo?" Albert asked, tilting his head.

"'Mabo' is an old and affectionate term for wizards of Muggle descent. Unconcerned by the strangeness on the faces of the crowd, Mr. Smith explained to Albert, "Before the International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy Act of 1692 was enacted, it was very popular. ”

"Many people may forget that before the International Federation of Wizards Secrecy Act was enacted, most wizards believed that Muggle-born wizards were much more gifted than wizards from pure wizarding families. Professor Broad kindly reminded them. Eventually, wizards began to stop believing in Muggles, and pure-blood supremacy began to spread, and the term was gradually abandoned. ”

"Of course, blood discrimination does not exist in our country, and everyone pays more attention to wisdom and ability. Adolf said softly. He didn't deny Broad's words, but that's the state of the wizarding world.

However, everyone present could see that Albert would not be excluded because of his status, because he had made many famous wizards, and a large number of wizards would be willing to escort him.

It can't be said that the vast majority of wizards pay attention to bloodlines, but in the face of true geniuses, everything does not seem so important.

After all, knowledge and ability deserve more respect.

The fact that Albert was invited here for a meeting speaks volumes.
