Study Days at Hogwarts

"I have received the package you sent. It seems that you have successfully solved the problem that has been bothering you."

In the mirror, Nico's pleased smile appeared in front of Albert, "To be honest, I was really surprised after I opened the package. I didn't expect you to actually kill a basilisk."

"I was not the one who killed the basilisk." Albert shook his head slightly. "You know my character. The eyes of the basilisk are very dangerous. I will not take such a risk."

"Dumbledore? His phoenix is ​​very suitable for dealing with that beast."

"That was killed by Harry Potter, the famous British savior. I just got some light." Albert said softly: "The process is probably similar to what you think."

"Oh, Dumbledore really worked hard." Nico immediately guessed the reason. He knew about the divination of the savior and what Dumbledore wanted to do, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, so he asked: "What do you want me to do? What can I do for you?"

"Do you know about evil things like Horcruxes?"

There was a moment of astonishment on Nico's face, and after a long silence he said: "Why do you ask this?"

Albert directly told Nico Flamel that the mysterious man's diary controller had opened the secret room.

"Honestly, it's hard for me to believe that just a memory can have its own actions and thoughts?

Just a memory that sucks the life out of the girl who gets it?

No, the diary is no longer just a black magic item. There may be something more evil hidden in the diary... the soul of a mysterious person, or a fragment of the soul may be more appropriate to describe it.

I checked a lot of information and speculated that the diary was a Horcrux.

According to records, Horcruxes are difficult to destroy by ordinary means, and Harry Potter actually destroyed the Horcrux with a basilisk fang. This really shocked me, you know what I mean? "

"I'm not sure whether the basilisk's venom glands can still extract toxins." Nico glanced at the venom glands frozen by magic in the box and said to Albert in the mirror, "However, I can help you try it."

Nico Flamel didn't have the slightest fondness for Voldemort. If it hadn't been for Voldemort, he probably wouldn't have completely given up on the Philosopher's Stone!

Nico couldn't say he regretted giving up the Philosopher's Stone, but he wasn't very satisfied either.

He realizes that he may not have enough time.

Albert is a very good successor, talented and hard-working enough, but if you want to completely inherit his legacy, you need more time, and time is exactly what Nico lacks now.

Everyone holds a grudge, and Nico Flamel is no exception, and he still has not forgotten it.

"If you are free, come to France during the summer vacation." Nico suddenly invited.

"I know!" Although Albert was a little surprised, he immediately nodded in agreement.

"By the way, I remember you can predict, right?"

"Yes, I can indeed see through the crystal ball what may happen in the future." Albert was a little surprised that Nico suddenly changed the subject.

Why did we suddenly talk about prophecies?

"Then you should know that for a prophet, it is painful to predict people's disasters but be unable to prevent them and can only watch them happen."

"You made a prediction about me?" Albert frowned slightly, suddenly realizing something, and stopped asking further.

As for the result, it is actually not difficult to guess from Nico's words.

It's definitely not going to be a good thing.

Nico didn't answer, but he obviously acquiesced.

"I think the predicted results can be changed, otherwise the prediction is meaningless." Albert seriously explained his point of view to Nico in the mirror, "Just like some of the rules of the time turner, but sometimes If you pay enough, you can still change some bad endings in advance.”

When he said this, Albert couldn't help but hold the time turner in his pocket tightly. He knew the risks involved in rashly changing the future, but sometimes changing a person's destiny was not as difficult as imagined.

"You are right. Although it is difficult, prophecies can be changed." Nico's face showed a satisfied smile, and he said to Albert: "The future is never unchanged, otherwise the prophecies will be It’s meaningless. By the way, when you come here, bring your girlfriend with you. As for other things, we’ll talk about it in person then!”

"I know." Albert looked at the mirror that had returned to normal and fell into a long silence.

Is this thing related to Isobel?

"Oh, this feeling is so annoying. No wonder prophets like to move around." Albert said softly to himself. He immediately took out the prophecy ball from the box and was about to predict himself when Bit's voice suddenly came from the double-sided mirror.

"I'm here." Albert put the mirror in front of him.

"Master, the house elf named Dobby you are paying attention to is now free." Bit appeared in the double-sided mirror and reported his progress to Albert, "However, I think it will be difficult for him to find a job. , there are almost no wizards willing to pay house elves for their work."

When it said this, Bit felt a little uneasy. It felt that its master might be able to do such a thing, but the master no longer needed another house elf when he had Bit.

"Thank you for your hard work, there is no need to pay attention to it anymore!"

"This is what Bit should do." The house elf seemed relieved, bowed slightly towards Albert, and disconnected the double-sided mirror.

Albert put away the double-sided mirror and turned his gaze back to the crystal ball in front of him, trying to divine some of the information he wanted, but the crystal ball failed and he could see nothing except a swirling white mist.

Divination failed?

Albert knew that his divination ability was very limited and he could not predict the future that was too far away, but since he upgraded his skills to level three, he rarely encountered this kind of situation again.

After hesitating for a moment, Albert invested skill points, upgraded divination to level four, and once again cast his sights on the crystal ball.

This time, the crystal ball finally changed. The white mist spun quickly, and some brief pictures appeared in the crystal ball, reflecting in Albert's eyes.

That is--

The Dark Mark!

Albert's face suddenly darkened, and he didn't even realize when he stood up.

Was I killed by Voldemort?

impossible!

With his own personality, it is impossible for him to do such a risky thing.

Quidditch World Cup?

No, if it were him, even if he was going to watch the Quidditch World Cup, he would definitely leave directly after watching the game and actively avoid the commotion.

but--

no doubt.

Seeing the Dark Mark on a crystal ball is definitely up to no good.

This means there is danger.

"You have to plan a little ahead of time." Albert murmured.

"By the way, let me see, what exactly does Nico want to do with me?"

Albert refocused his attention and looked at the changes on the crystal ball. After the prophecy reached level four, his prophecy ability seemed to have improved a lot.

In the crystal ball, the two were hugging and kissing.

Albert was stunned.

Is this considered... eating your own dog food?

However, Albert really couldn't understand why he saw such a scene.

"Being brought forward? This is unreasonable. They are still just children in a sense. Why would Nico do such a thing?"

Albert looked at the people in the crystal ball who were sending blessings and frowned deeply: "Could it be that...it turns out that...could it be the reason he guessed? But, would he really let that happen? Happen?"
