Chapter 561: New Discoveries (2)
After separating from Hertock, Albert and Isobel went on a trip to three broomsticks. Now that you're all in Hogsmeade, why don't you miss a drink at the Three Broomsticks Bar?
The bar was noisy and crowded, but it was also warm, and the fireplace was blazing.
Albert overhears a glimpse of Fred, George, and Lee Jordan sitting in the corner drinking, who are huddled together and whispering, seemingly unaware of him and Isobel.
Albert found a vacant seat and went to the counter to ask Ms. Rosmerta for two glasses of Butterbeer. Although this is a bar, alcoholic beverages other than butterbeer are not served to minors.
Albert felt that the bar could actually sell some low-alcohol liqueurs, which would be very popular with the girls, and it was well known that the girls' galleons were far more profitable than the boys'.
However, most dessert wines in Europe are wine, and Ms. Rosmerta obviously doesn't sell wine to students.
Speaking of sweet wine, Albert remembered the glutinous rice wine in his previous life, which was one of his few favorite wines, which tasted like a drink, but it was not easy to store.
"What are you thinking?"
Isobel noticed that Albert was actually distracted while chatting with him, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and asked.
"There's a nice dessert wine in Muggles, and maybe a house-elf can try some of it. Albert said suddenly.
Anyway, the house-elf stays in the manor, in fact, there is nothing to do, find something to do for it, you can better mobilize its enthusiasm, and he also believes that the house-elf will definitely be happy to master one more skill.
"Dessert wine, is it good?" said Isobel, interested in the dessert wine Albert had said.
"Well, kind of like a drink, you're going to love it. Albert had already figured out how to get the sticky rice, and I believe that Mundungus would probably be more than willing to help him get it.
After the two of them finished drinking, they walked around Hogsmeade again, bought Nya a birthday present, and then returned to Hogwarts Castle.
Before parting, Albert did not forget to advise, "There may be an accident in the castle today, remember not to run around." ”
"Got it, be careful yourself. ”
Isobel felt strange, but he didn't intend to run around, and Albert said that there must be some reason, maybe he had predicted something again.
If it was a Gryffindor student, listening to him say this, it is estimated that he would have been ready to die a long time ago.
No sooner had they returned to the common room than Fred, George, and Lee Jordan popped up without warning.
"Failed!"
Fred got straight to the point: "However, Mr. Jokowi is interested in the Wizard card and seems to be interested in working with us. ”
"That's a pity. Albert was not in the least interested in this unequal collaboration.
"You seem to have guessed a long time ago?" George raised an eyebrow, looking at Albert a little depressed.
When they went to Jokowi, they were completely ignored, and that guy was extremely arrogant in some ways.
At least, that's what all three think.
"No money, who will help you. Albert gave Lee Jordan a blank look, and did not shy away from this.
Most of the people are profit-oriented, not to mention that Jokowi himself is a businessman, and it is strange that he will pay attention to a few people if he asks him for advice and does not give benefits.
"Okay, don't worry about it. Albert said with a smile, "Jokowi wouldn't want a similar shop to compete with him, so it's normal not to have a good opinion of you." If your shop becomes popular in the future, maybe his shop will go out of business. ”
"I see. ”
The three of them were still a little depressed, thinking that if Albert went, things would be better.
"Alright, be happy. We're going to a Halloween party later, isn't there a skeleton dance troupe?" Albert pulled candy out of his pocket and shoved it into the hands of several people.
The Halloween dinner party begins at seven o'clock, and Albert plans to find time to write a letter to the thief Montungus.
Of course, Albert didn't expect Mundungus to get things right all at once, but there were enough Galleons that he believed the thief would be willing to help.
After all, money can make ghosts grind, let alone let people help find something?
So, just before seven o'clock, Albert and his roommates went straight to the Great Hall, where they met the Harry Potter trio, who left the crowd and headed for the basement classroom.
"Where are they going?"
Lee Jordan looked at the backs of the three of them and asked suspiciously.
"Going to the ghost banquet, of course. Albert ignored the three Harry and headed straight for the crowded auditorium.
In the corner of the auditorium was a huge jack-o'-lantern, a swarm of bats flying around the enchanted ceiling, and perhaps the most striking was the stage ahead, where a large area had been vacated, and a hazy fog obscured everyone's view.
A lot of people looked over there, and they knew that the Skull Dance Troupe was behind the fog.
Soon after, the banquet opened with a performance by the Skull Dance Troupe, presided over by Dumbledore, and the audience erupted in thunderous applause.
Albert looked up at the stage and saw a pile of musical instruments placed on the stage, and the wizard in heavy metal costume began to speak to adjust the atmosphere, and a large group of students surrounded by him looked like a group of fanatical star chasers.
Sure enough, it was heavy metal style music, and the sound echoed in Albert's ears, but unfortunately he just didn't have much appreciation, and when everyone shouted feverishly, he slowly cut the steak and stuffed it tightly in his mouth.
"I don't know why they're so famous. Shanna muttered quietly, she was one of the few Gryffindor students who didn't come forward to watch.
"Probably because of the music!" Albert glanced at the parchment in his hand, Ginny Weasley had disappeared from the map, apparently entering the Chamber of Secrets.
"Do you believe that?" said Shanna, looking at Albert with a strange expression.
The singing lasted for more than a quarter of an hour, and the Skull Dance Troupe sang three songs to the students before they left the stage under the reluctant gaze of everyone.
Everyone else returned to their places and enjoyed the exquisite feast.
It was probably the Skull Dance Troupe that caught everyone's attention, but no one noticed that the savior Potter was missing.
The food at the dinner was exquisite, and after Albert had eaten his fill, he began to think about a question.
The basilisk incident was never fatal, was it an accident, or was it intentional?
Does Tom Riddle really not know?
There are a lot of things that can't stand scrutiny!
So many coincidences come together, and they can't be considered coincidences.
Moreover, Albert suspects that Tom Riddle must also be a human curse, otherwise how can the other party accurately attack the target without being detected by others?
"Damn. ”
Thinking of this, Albert's whole person was not good, and he felt that he needed to master the advanced shielding charm as soon as possible, so that he could disappear directly from the map of the human charm, only in this way could he ensure that he would not be deliberately targeted.
If he uses the Advanced Shielding Charm to block his existence, it will be difficult for the owl to find him, and he has a lot of owl letters, so he can't give up contact with other people, so he has to find another way.
