Study Days at Hogwarts

I can't understand it at all!

Isobel just took the parchment from Albert's hand, and after just glancing at the contents, she found that she couldn't understand it at all.

Even though Isobel had already been exposed to ancient magic texts, she was far ahead of other students in the same class. However, this genius witch found helplessly that without the help of a magic word dictionary, she could not even read the contents on the parchment, let alone understand it.

Can this guy in front of me really understand?

Isobel was skeptical.

After all, Albert's age is there, even if it is exaggerated, there must be a limit for me!

However, Albert's appearance did not look like he was pretending at all. Even Professor Broad agreed with him. His previous words showed that Albert's attainments in ancient magic texts were very high, so high that they completely surpassed hers. Imagined.

Right now, the guy actually took a quill and began to make modifications on Uncle Mog's parchment, adding his own views and insights in certain aspects. Occasionally, he would discuss a certain issue with Professor Brod and speak from his mouth. The words that come out are also in ancient magic script. There is no need for a "Magic Phonetic Chart" or a "Magic Dictionary".

"What's going on with this guy?" Isobel was really confused. She couldn't understand how Albert mastered the ancient magic text in a short period of time. It was really strange.

The silent genius girl was mired in deep self-doubt when a flame suddenly burst into flames in the office fireplace, attracting the attention of several people.

"I'm sorry, I'm late. I didn't expect something to happen suddenly on the Wizengamot." Mog McDougal walked out of the fire. He raised his hand to dust off the ashes on his robe and said to Professor Broad: "Bud, did you not receive notice of your absence?"

"I received it suddenly in the morning. However, it came very suddenly, so I pretended that I didn't receive it. It's not a big deal anyway." Professor Broad curled his lips and said, "They didn't notify me in advance, and I couldn't spare the time to attend. .”

"That's a good excuse." McDougal nodded, as if he was considering whether he could use this excuse in the future.

"What's the final result?" Professor Broad asked.

"What else, fine her a lot of money and go to jail again," McDougal said disapprovingly. "They break her wand again and she goes to jail for ten years."

"Ten years? I thought it would be a life sentence. This is not the first time Carlotta Pinkston has used magic at will in front of Muggles in public." Professor Broad reminded: "I remember last time. This time, her wand was broken."

"Carlotta Pinkston found someone to get another wand. Now, the Ministry of Magic has announced that Carlotta will be stripped of her right to use the wand." McDoug explained: "Everyone has unanimously decided that if Carlotta continues If she violates the confidentiality law, she will be given a permanent bed in Azkaban."

When Albert heard this, he curled his lips and asked, "Does the Ministry of Magic often break other people's wands? I mean when the law of confidentiality is violated."

Professor Broad and McDoug looked at each other and fell into a brief silence. Finally, Mogg answered Albert's question: "Usually, no, at most, you will be fined."

"What about the Law on the Reasonable Restraint of Minor Wizards?" Albert asked again.

"The third paragraph of the Reasonable Restraint of Minor Wizards Act states that it is a crime to deliberately and knowingly use magic in the presence of Muggles in a Muggle-inhabited area." McDougal shrugged at Albert Shrugging his shoulders, he said: "In fact, the word "deliberately and knowingly" here refers to someone who has been warned by a letter once. If it is not too serious, the offender usually only needs to go to the director of the Office for the Prohibition of Abuse of Magic for an interview. Usually In this case, it won’t be too serious, and at most you will be fined a little. Of course, if you have a criminal record and have bad records, you may be in trouble.”

"What about Muggle wizards?" Albert asked again: "If I violate the Reasonable Restraint of Minor Wizards Act twice in a row, am I likely to be expelled from school?"

"Why do you ask?" McDougal asked, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"It's just a precaution. One day I really break the law, I can find a loophole to exploit. After all, my family is a lawyer. Oh, you may not know what a lawyer is. It is a person who defends people in court." Albert stated the reason why he wanted to understand this.

"You don't seem to have a good impression of the Ministry of Magic?" Isobel was speechless for a while. She realized that the person in front of her was not a peaceful guy, and he was actually ready to start exploiting loopholes in the Ministry of Magic's laws?

"Before school started, I encountered some bad things." Albert didn't mention the bad thing about Truman.

"Is it related to this?"

"Yes."

"You may be expelled." Professor Brod answered Albert's question. "To a certain extent, the person who makes the decision is the director of the Office for the Prohibition of Abuse of Magic. If they do this, they will have to leave. processes to ensure..."

"If you really encounter some little trouble one day, I will help you solve it, provided that you help me finish this book." McDoug raised his hand to interrupt Professor Brod, and said with a smile: "Ministry of Magic The situation is indeed what you think, but the "Reasonable Restraint of Minor Wizards Act" is actually more aimed at wizards living in Muggle residential areas. You also know that young children often cannot be restrained well. I, especially after possessing magic, can’t help but want to try it, so that’s why we need the “Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards Act.”

"When you become an adult and enter the wizarding world, you will find that wizards rarely interact with Muggles, even Weasley who likes Muggles." McDoug thought for a while and said.

"So, it's still a matter of connections and power?" Albert said meaningfully.

"Yes, if something small happens, and you have enough connections and power, nothing will happen to you at all. At most, you will be fined a little." Mog talked about this kind of thing in front of Albert without hesitation.

"Uncle Mog!" Isobel frowned and warned aloud.

"This is indeed a fact. It is quite important to have power in the magical world." Mog blinked and said: "Of course, if you know the Minister of Magic and have a good relationship with him, as long as it is not a serious violation of the law, He will turn a blind eye!"

"Do you want to..."

"Actually, I'm very interested in Apparition." Albert said without hesitation, "If you can learn it, you won't have to worry about where to go."

"I suggest you write a letter to the Knight Bus and ask it to pick you up." McDougal said with a smile: "The way to get on the Knight Bus is to extend the wand in your hand into the air."

"No, no, Mog, I think Albert just wants to... save trouble." Professor Broad saw through Albert's intention at a glance and reminded: "Apparition is still too difficult for you now. That’s right.”

"Okay, I think we should bring the topic back up!" McDoug waved his wand, and a stack of parchment appeared out of thin air and landed on the table in front of the two of them.

"This is the second manuscript."
