Chapter 198： What are you planning (1/2)
Friday, ten thirty in the evening, in the Gryffindor common room.
Albert is sitting in the armchair by the fireplace, reading the ”Advanced Magic Text Translation” manuscript given to him by Professor Mowen the other day.
Not far away, Angelina, who has finished her homework, is playing the wizard card with Alia, while Lee Jordan, who is always looking to the side of the card game, is doing astronomy homework under the guidance of Shanna.
”I won this round.” Angelina smiled and packed up the wizard cards, looked at Lee Jordan, who was still doing homework next to him, and asked with confusion, ”Why haven't you finished it yet.”
”Why don't you do your homework first, and then use the remaining time to play?” Alia can't understand Lee Jordan's thinking mode at all.
Angelina covered a yawn and asked, ”Sanna, do you go back to the dormitory to rest?”
”You go back first, I'm almost.” Shanna looked at the button in front of her. She wants to turn buttons into beetles, but it is far more difficult to turn non-living creatures into non-living creatures.
”Then let's go back and rest first.” Alia put the wizard card back into her pocket and returned to the dormitory with her friend's hand.
”Failed again.” Shanna sighed, looked up at Albert and asked, ”Is there any way, or trick?”
”Practice a lot.” Albert said without hesitation.
”Oh, these words again.” Shanna muttered, ”What have you been looking at since just now?”
”The manuscript, Professor Babling asked me to help her revise the manuscript.” Albert finished marking the manuscript and stuffed it back into the bag.
”Professor Babling?” Shanna had never heard the name of the professor.
”Professor Mowen,” Albert reminded.
”Ancient magic text? I heard that there is this optional course in the third grade. What do you plan to choose?” Shanna asked suddenly.
”Elective course?” Lee Jordan asked curiously, ”What elective course?”
”Divination, protection of magical creatures, Muggle research, ancient magic writing, arithmetic divination.” Albert quickly said five subjects, ”I am going to choose all.”
”Select all, do you have enough time?” Shanna was surprised.
”Enough, there is a way to give me plenty of time.” Albert said with a smile.
”I heard people say that ancient magic texts are difficult to learn.” Shanna was a little entangled whether she should choose ancient magic texts.
”Ancient magic text is like learning a foreign language.”
”I remember you are very good at foreign languages.” Lee Jordan looked at Albert with envy on his face, ”I remember you can speak French, and I just went to France during the summer vacation.”
Shanna hesitated for a while, and said, ”If it's not particularly difficult, I want to choose all.”
”What's easier?” Lee Jordan asked.
”Divination and Muggle studies.” Albert said without hesitation, ”I heard it was two out of five.”
”Why?” Lee Jordan continued to ask.
”Divination requires talent. If you don’t have talent, you just mess around. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have any talent.” Albert took a sip of the cold milk tea ceremony. “As for Muggle research, I don’t think wizards understand Muggles. I don’t even know what batteries, TVs, and light bulbs are?”
”Really?” Shanna asked in surprise.
”Do you know what a light bulb is?” Albert asked Lee Jordan next to him.
”Of course I do.” Lee Jordan couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, ”My family lives in the Muggle community, but some pure blood wizards who are completely isolated from the Muggle world may really not know.”
”It's hard to imagine.” Shanna was surprised.
”It's not hard to imagine.” Albert teased, ”It's like my father doesn't know how a slug turns into a potion, just like Fred and George's father doesn't know what a rubber duck is for.”
”Rubber...duck?” Shanna bit her lip to prevent herself from laughing.
”I remember Albert gave Fred and George a rubber duck for summer vacation.” Lee Jordan also thought of this.
”You are really...” Shanna finally couldn't help but laughed, and suddenly attracted many people's suspicious glances, ”...It's definitely intentional.”
”By the way, where's Fred and George?” Albert looked at Shanna who was grinning dumbly. He really couldn't understand the other side's smile.
”You said Fred and George, two bastards, they went to the kitchen.” Lee Jordan thought for a while and said, ”I said I was hungry and wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.”
”Which **** are you scolding!”
The two voices came from the entrance of the common room.
Lee Jordan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Fred and George walking towards this side, both of them holding a pie in their hands, eating as they walked.
