Chapter 554: Visible, tangible, but not useful

I really don’t know how the Weasley twins managed to stuff such a firework into the mouth of such a salamander.

Just when Albert was sighing, he suddenly heard a "swish" sound, and the poor salamander suddenly jumped into the air. It seemed like someone had a flamethrower in its mouth, constantly spraying out sparks, crazily. Running around the common room, the crackling sound immediately attracted everyone's attention.

With some loud noises, the fireworks exploded in the mouth of the salamander. It was incredible that the explosion did not blow the poor salamander to pieces.

At this moment, the salamander was still jumping around in the air, spraying out very beautiful orange-red stars from its mouth, attracting the attention of countless students.

 “What the **** are you doing!”

Percy, who had just come down the stairs, roared at the top of his lungs at Fred and George. The poor salamander finally seized the opportunity, escaped from the clutches of the twins, and slipped into the fire to hide.

"Don't be angry Percy, everyone thought it was funny." Someone came out to smooth things over. They didn't blame Fred and George for disturbing them, but Percy still scolded the twins hard for several minutes in a hoarse voice.

 After the fun is over, people continue to sit down and read, chat, and do homework.

At this moment, it was still pouring rain outside the window. Fred and George sat next to Albert and talked about their new idea of ​​making fireworks.

"You should record them, so that it will be easier to improve." Albert interrupted ruthlessly, "Also, you have to hand in your curses paper tomorrow. If you don't do your homework and you are detained by Professor Flitwick, Don’t blame me.”

“Wait, where is your magic spell homework?” Fred saw that Albert seemed to be leaving for something, and he and George quickly held his shoulders.

"At Lee Jordan's place, you go to him and ask for it. I'll come back later to bring you supper." With that, Albert got up and left.

 “That guy’s going on another date,” Fred muttered.

 “A guy who forgets his friends when he sees sex.” George complained.

 When Albert arrived at the Room of Requirement, Isobel had already arrived. She seemed to be writing a paper. Albert did not disturb her and found a place to sit down and study Nicola Flamel's notes.

"What are you thinking about? You were distracted just now." A girl's voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

“It’s nothing, I just feel that Nico Flamel’s notebook is a bit too difficult for me.” Albert put down the notebook in his hand and sighed softly.

The notebooks that Nico Flamel gave to Albert were all good things, but they were not easy to use. Many of them could not be converted into panel skills, and the advanced use of magic spells was not something that could be mastered casually.

  After all, you still need to master the spells first, and then learn their advanced uses. Even using the panel requires a certain amount of experience.

 The advanced use of every magic spell is never so easy to master. Albert has never forgotten how long it took to practice the advanced use of the Patronus Charm.

Most of Nicol Flamel's notes to him involve these things. It's like having a delicious steak in front of you. You can see it and touch it, but you can't eat it. It's really depressing.

"Just be content. How could it be possible for you to learn all the results that Nico Flamel took hundreds of years to achieve in just a few months?" Isobel reached out and touched Ai who was leaning on her shoulder. Bert's head said as if comforting a child: "You are already very powerful and can sort out the above content in a short time. Don't be too anxious. You still have a lot of time to study it. Still say , you hope to become as powerful as Dumbledore when you grow up."

"It would be nice if that could be done." Albert muttered softly, "Then I don't need to work hard anymore in this life. I can just lie down and eat and wait to die."

 “Don’t you think that’s too tiring?” Isobel said softly.

“Here, take a look at it, the contents in the notebook are still very practical.” Albert handed the notes to Isobel, “I have seen them at Nico’s.”

 During these years, Nico Flamel kept his whereabouts secret and protected very strictly, and the knowledge in this notebook was used to create a safe house.

He has been to Nico's home several times. Those residences are well protected and it is very difficult to find them, let alone break into them.

Of course, Albert also has a way to solve the problem, which is to use strong fire to directly burn the house clean. If the people inside do not escape, they will naturally be burned to death. After all, such a thing as strong fire will basically destroy everything. Swallow it clean.

 The safest part of a safe house is actually that it can’t be found or discovered. Once found, no matter how safe the place is, it is no longer safe.

"In the future, we can use it when we have our own new home." Albert suddenly said, "It won't be too peaceful for a long time."

“You mean about the mysterious person?” Isobel raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Well." Albert changed the topic casually, "By the way, what were you doing just now?"

"Writing Lockhart's thesis." Isobel was a little irritated when talking about it, "The content is: how to help the village get rid of the wolf disaster."

“You say, is there really a spell that can restore a werewolf to its human form?” Albert suddenly raised his head and asked, remembering the description in Lockhart’s “Wandering with the Werewolf”.

"I don't know." Isobel shook her head. She didn't think what Lockhart described was true. In fact, if such a curse existed, it would probably have become famous long ago.

Albert knew, however, that Lockhart's book was stealing someone else's work, but that such a spell might have once existed. Why do you say that in the past, because that unlucky guy was cast by Lockhart and all his memories were forgotten by the Forgetting Curse, then now the only person who may know this spell is Lockhart, but the possibility is really slim, Able Turtle never believed that Lockhart was capable of mastering the spell.

"Forget it, let's ask Lockhart again when we have the chance!" Albert thought.

"What's wrong?"

"nothing."

 “Just tell me if you have anything to say, you always look like you are hesitant to speak.”

"Well, it's nothing. Are you hungry? Would you like to go to the kitchen to eat something." Albert suggested.

 “Eating too much can easily lead to obesity.”

 “I don’t mind, and besides, you don’t exercise all the time.”

"All right."

Putting away the notebook, the two of them left the Room of Requirement and headed to the kitchen. When they passed the secret passage on the sixth floor, the light of the wand startled the kissing couple.

Percy Weasley and his girlfriend Penelope Crevat.

 The passage was suddenly filled with an awkward atmosphere.

"Remember to keep it a secret." Percy muttered to the two of them, then took the girl and ran away.

"It seems that we disturbed them." Albert looked at the girl beside him helplessly and said: "I didn't expect them to have a date here."

“After all, not everyone can use the Room of Requirement like us.” Isobel said softly, looking back at the two people leaving.

 “Then again, every time I meet them they’re kissing.”

 “Have you encountered it many times?”

“When taking a shortcut, I occasionally bump into couples having a date in the passage.” Albert moved the portrait and walked out, “Of course, usually I won’t disturb their date.”
