The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Several people appeared in a remote corridor on the seventh floor of the castle, and came to check the location of the secret passage that Fred mentioned last time.

"The entrance is here."

The four stopped in front of a portrait of a middle-aged wizard. After Albert determined that there was no one around on the map, Fred immediately stepped forward and said the password to the portrait: "Sneak."

The wizard in the portrait put a thumb up on his lips, made a shush gesture towards several people, and then turned to open the picture frame, revealing the secret passage hidden inside.

The entrance is very secret, and it is hidden behind Edgar Stroug's portrait. A special password is required to open the secret passage, which fully meets Albert's requirements.

"This password is like what we do now." Lee Jordan teased.

"Just talk too much."

All three looked at Albert, waiting for his further action.

Albert put a heavy book in his backpack on the ground, took out his wand from his pocket, and tapped the front of the book three times.

The book suddenly unfolded, and a door slowly rose in front of everyone's eyes, just embedded in the passage, as if there was really a secret room here.

"Cool, when did you make this thing?" Lee Jordan reached out and knocked on the door in front of him. No one else could guess that it was a book.

"This is just a test item, similar to a wizard's tent." Albert said simply, "I call this a fairy tale house."

Several people couldn't wait to push the door open, and what was in front of them...darkness.

"Close your eyes, I'm going to light up." After reminding Albert, he raised his wand and released a few balls of light. The whole room instantly lit up, and the space inside the door was much larger than the classroom.

"The Unmarked Stretching Spell can always bring us unexpected surprises." George sighed with emotion. When they were at home, they also used the Unmarked Stretching Spell to expand the space for the development of joke props.

"It's empty," said Fred, looking around. "We've got to move something in there."

"It's already been prepared, everything is here."

Lee Jordan smiled and put down the box in his hand, which contained the items they had transferred from the Room of Requirement a while ago.

"when?"

"When you were doing Quidditch training.

"

Albert took out his pocket watch from his pocket, glanced at the time on it, turned his head and said to George, "Please wait outside for other people, so that they don't know how to get in."

"No problem, leave it to me!" George took the map that Albert handed over and asked in confusion, "Why don't you make the map more detailed?"

"It's enough to be able to use it. It takes a lot of time to make it like a Marauder's Map." Albert motioned for Fred and Lee Jordan to come and help arrange the scene.

The room soon had a whole lot of upholstered, a blackboard and armchairs, plus a few magic dolls for the students to practice their magic.

"I think everyone will be surprised." Fred arranged the armchair in an arc around the blackboard.

"It's really nice here, George said this is your secret base?"

As soon as Shanna entered the room, she immediately looked around and complained to Albert, "You should have told me earlier, I was worried that I would not find a suitable meeting place."

"After all, this is our secret base." Lee Jordan said with a smile, "Originally we didn't want others to know about it, and then we decided to use it as a gathering place."

"I didn't expect that there is such a place in the school." Angelina sighed softly.

"There are a lot of secrets hidden in Hogwarts school. As long as you dig it, you can always find some unexpected surprises." Fred blinked and said, "There are actually other secrets in this secret room."

"What secret?" Angelina was also aroused curious.

"Only at a certain time, this secret room will appear."

"Liar."

"You'll find out later."

"A certain time?"

"What kind of magic are you going to teach us today?" Arya walked to the magic doll, fiddled with the fake wand in the doll's hand, turned her head and asked Albert who was setting up the scene, "By the way, where did you get this stuff?"

"This is a teaching tool for a certain Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." Albert paused and continued, "After the professor left, things were thrown into the Hogwarts storage room. We found the storage room at the beginning. When I was around, I found that these magic dolls can be used for practicing magic."

"Storage room? Do you mean the dungeon?" The girls were surprised, they had never heard of such a place in Hogwarts Castle.

"no."

"Actually, I think it's more appropriate to call it a junkyard. Most of the things that are not used at Hogwarts are thrown there." Lee Jordan said, "There is a mountain of things over there, and a lot of them can't be used."

"Actually, I'm more curious about what that is?"

After Cedric greeted Albert, he looked up at the luminous object hanging in the air. There were several similar objects in the room, providing sufficient light source for the whole room.

"A magical prop that can be used to provide lighting, you can call it: a magic lamp." Albert introduced.

Cedric seemed to have guessed something, looked at Albert in shock, and said with admiration, "I think this is a great invention."

George closed the door of the room at the end and said to Albert, "Everyone is almost there, it's time to start."

Albert counted the number of students, and there were about a dozen students. In addition to the fifth-year students of Gryffindor, some fifth-year students from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff also came, but the number was very small. Some of them were acquaintances Albert knew.

"Okay, take a seat!" Albert motioned for everyone to sit down.

"Aren't you going to teach us magic?" A Hufflepuff boy next to Cedric found that Albert seemed to be planning to teach them, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Alger, we're here to gather more so that we can get better results in the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam." Cedric gave his friend a look, signaling him not to interrupt and waste other people's precious time.

"What I'm going to talk about tonight is the focus of the exam." Albert looked around the crowd and suddenly had the illusion that he had become a professor. He continued, "Of course, Professor Lupin may talk about what he thinks is important in class, but that doesn't prevent you from listening to me first, just to strengthen your memory."

"Why not just practice it?" asked the famous Ravenclaw girl, raising her hand.

"The Defence Against the Dark Arts exam is not only practical, but also written. Well, don't interrupt me, we'd better hurry up." Albert ignored her and continued, "According to the papers I collected, There is basically no change in the content of the common wizard rank exams in the past dynasties..."

Albert shared his understanding of the common wizard rank exam and what he thought was mandatory after reading the exam paper for everyone to listen to.

The so-called key points of the test are not boring. After Albert finished speaking, he would always come up with the corresponding test questions, and everyone could not help but abandon their distracting thoughts and concentrate on listening to his key points.

"...Five characteristics of werewolves. In the written examinations of Defense Against the Dark Arts, students' knowledge of werewolves has been tested. I think the reason for this question is more because the Ministry of Magic cannot determine whether werewolves are lurking around us. They hope We can tell and stay away from these dangerous dark creatures."

"I'm curious, where did your test questions come from?" the Ravenclaw girl asked again.

"As long as you're willing to spend Galleons, it's not difficult to get the .LS test papers of the last few years." Albert took out three pieces of parchment from his backpack and said to everyone, "Okay, today's party is over, I estimate that 80% of you will not be able to write these things down with a pen, so I helped you to organize them simply, the content is on the parchment, and you can circulate it yourself when you go back!"

With that said, Albert handed the parchment to Cedric of Hufflepuff and Katrina of Ravenclaw.

"Why only questions?"

"The content I just talked about is in "Dark Power: Self-Defense Guide", you can draw it and recite it yourself." Albert said calmly, "Actually, the scope of the .Ls exam is "Dark Power: "Guide to Self-Defense", there is still no question above this book, so you don't have to worry about the exam being too difficult. As long as you study in the right direction, you can get a high score on the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam."

"At the next meeting, we will practice defensive spells and spells to ensure that everyone can pass the practice exam. Before that, I suggest you memorize what I said today, and you should start reviewing anyway! "Albert said after finishing speaking, "I will let someone inform you of the time of the next meeting."

"Albert, do you teach other classes?" Shanna asked expectantly.

"Only Defense Against the Dark Arts class, well, let's leave this room in an orderly manner. Lee Jordan, you arrange for them to leave in an orderly manner." Albert said to Lee Jordan.

"It's very detailed and great." Katrina deliberately stayed behind to talk to Albert, "Have you considered coming to the school as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts in the future?"

"I didn't think about it, this class is very evil, and I never thought I could resist that curse." Albert flatly rejected it.

"If they were charged for surprise tuition, I think many students would be willing to pay for it." Katrina knew the value of the parchment in her hand. She had turned over the test paper for so long, and Albert could easily summarize it. Exam focus.

"Forget it, I never do thankless things." Albert shook his head, "Also, I'm no longer short of money."

"It's weird to say that out of your mouth." Katrina rolled up the parchment and put it in her pocket, smiling as she looked at the crowd that was gradually leaving in front of her. "I think a lot of people must regret not coming today."

"At least, the Slytherin students won't come."

After everyone left, Albert raised his wand to extinguish the light above his head. After closing the door, he turned it back into a book and stuffed it back into his backpack.

In the corridor outside, everyone was still waiting to say goodbye to Albert.

"It's better to hurry up next time, I can't wait." Cedric asked with a smile, "By the way, and you won't mind if I bring more people over next time."

"It doesn't matter, as long as it's not to cause trouble," Albert said.

"Goodbye, Mr. Albert."

I don't know who spoke first, so everyone cheered and said goodbye to Albert in a slightly mocking tone, and gave him the title of teacher.

"Mr. Albert?" Fred teased.

"I'm not old at all," said Albert.

"But you are a year older than us," George reminded maliciously, "so you are indeed older than us."

"You will be envious soon, why aren't you a year older than me." Albert said mysteriously.

"Oh, really, don't keep your appetite!" Lee Jordan put his arm around Albert's neck and said, "Did you predict something again, tell me the truth."

"Humph, you'll know next semester, just wait!"
