If Self-Discipline Worked, Then...

Since meeting McDougal, Albert cannot believe that his campus life has changed dramatically.

Digging too deeply into Runes's secrets has put a considerable burden on Albert's brain, which is directly reflected in the fact that during the recent period, Albert's spirit has been a bit sluggish.

However, there are still some benefits to this high-load situation.

The experience of Albert's Runes skill increased at an incredible speed. In less than half a month, it had soared by nearly 1,000 points.

The most important thing is that Albert feels that he is about to get in touch with what he wants, and McDougal talks about the real method of using Ancient Runes.

If Runes's skills were upgraded to level 3, he might be able to master that part of the knowledge in a short time, but Albert would rather spend more time in this area. Even if he upgraded his skills directly to level 3, the knowledge gained would still take a long time to digest.

Moreover, using too much experience to upgrade skill levels at one time is a big burden on the experience pool, and Albert will not take the risk of doing so.

For him, directly upgrading a skill to level 2 is currently within the acceptable range, and it must be a practical skill to do so.

The experience in the experience pool is not only reserved for upgrading the economy and finance, but is also Albert's biggest backup and guarantee.

If you can only get out but not get in, it is undoubtedly not a good thing.

"What's wrong with you recently? You feel very tired." George said.

"It's okay, I just have a lot to do. Please push the marmalade over there to me." Albert was putting two sausages, a fried egg, and half a diced and fried tomato on his plate.

"Here." George glanced at Albert suspiciously and didn't ask any more questions.

Taking the marmalade from George, Albert spread a thick layer on the slice of bread, put it to his mouth and took a big bite. He casually took out his diary from his pocket and started to look through the things he had recorded before to see if there was anything he had forgotten.

Albert's memory is indeed very strong, but after starting to do something seriously, other things tend to be forgotten.

"Are you reading your little notebook again?" Fred said with a smile, "By the way, there is Apparition Class in the afternoon, do you want to read it?"

"I remember that in the last Apparition Class, a boy from Hufflepuff was cut into pieces." Li·Jordan smiled and talked about the interesting things about Apparition Class.

"It's Splinching, not dismemberment." Angelina opposite glanced at Li Jordan with disgust and corrected, "Don't use such a terrible word in the wrong place."

"I remember that person's name seems to be Figg." Li Jordan said.

"It's Figo." Albert took a bite of the fried egg and weakly corrected the other party's mistake.

"How do you know?" Li·Jordan asked a little unconvinced, "I remember..."

"Last time, I met a friend of Hufflepuff in the library... cough cough." Albert poured a big mouthful of Pumpkin Juice into his mouth, glanced at the fried egg on his fork, and put it aside temporarily, ready to eat it later.

"Do you have any friends from Hufflepuff?" Aylia is very curious that Albert actually knows Hufflepuff's students. This guy has a wide range of friends!

"Who doesn't have a few friends?" Albert disagreed with this.

"I remember it was... the fierce man who punched Ravenclaw Prefect to the ground last time. His name seemed to be..."

"My name is Truman." Fred reminded, "I found that your memory is really bad."

"Who would go out of their way to remember these things?" Li·Jordan argued.

Speaking of Truman, Weasley Twins suddenly looked at Albert and asked in a low voice, "Last time, was that the idea you gave Truman?"

Albert did not answer, pretending not to hear, and continued to flip through the small notebook. His eyes fell on a record, raised his head and looked at George and asked, "I couldn't repair the "The Biography of Uric" last time. However, it seems that you took the book away, have you repaired it and returned it?"

"It's not repaired, but it has been returned. Mrs. Pince didn't notice it." George's face looked a little unnatural.

"At that time, we made a bold decision." Fred explained, "We tore the page completely. As long as we don't turn to that page, we will not be discovered."

"You're in good luck." Albert was speechless. He thought Twins would repair the book and return it, but he didn't expect it to be like this. Anyway, as long as Mrs. Pince didn't discover it, it would be fine.

"I wonder which unlucky guy will take the blame for you."

"Ahem, that has nothing to do with us." Twins looked a little embarrassed.

George quickly changed the subject. "By the way, are you going to see Apparition Class this afternoon?"

"Go, it's good to listen to the class for a while. You can always learn something." Albert nodded and said. He wanted to see if he could make Apparition appear in his Skill List in this way.

Basically, every time Waiki·Tycroes comes to Hogwarts to teach Apparition Class, Albert will watch it and record some knowledge that needs to be mastered. In his little notebook are the three Ds (three things to note) mentioned by Tycroes.

It would be great if I could try it myself.

It is a pity that first-year students cannot register, otherwise they can practice Apparition under the guidance of someone, which will undoubtedly greatly improve the safety and learning efficiency of Apparition.

"What are you thinking about?" Shanna interrupted.

"I guess I'm worried about why the lower-grade students can't sign up for Apparition Class." George looked like I've seen through Albert.

"This kind of opportunity is rare. However, Apparition is too difficult for lower grade students. We don't have enough Magical Power to support ourselves to complete this magic." Although Albert said this, he was actually very depressed. Unlike others, he did not have such troubles. As long as he could master the skills, he could immediately master Apparition through experience points at any time.

"You can use Disillusionment Charm!" Fred whispered.

"Don't be stupid, do you think that thing can surpass Professor McGonagall?" Albert rolled his eyes at Fred.

"Even if you learn it, you can't use it. You are not allowed to use magic during the summer vacation." George said seriously.

"Why?" Shanna asked puzzledly.

"Anyway, this is the rule of Ministry of Magic. It is said that you will be severely warned for the first time, and you may be expelled for the second time. Even if you are lucky enough not to be expelled, you will be severely fined a large amount of Galleon." George reminded seriously.

"How do you know?" Shanna asked with a frown, "Christmas Holiday, I was using it at home without any warning?"

"That's because you haven't received the official notification yet." Percy sat next to George and answered Shanna's question for him. "After receiving the official notice from Ministry of Magic during the summer vacation, you cannot use it unless you are 17 years old."

"As far as I know, you will not be warned when using magic in an area with dense wizards like Diagon Alley. It should be fine if Pure-blood wizard uses it at home." Albert said softly, "Ministry of Magic has no way of figuring out who used it."

"How do you know?" Shanna stared at Albert curiously, while Percy next to him was a little embarrassed.

"Ever since that unlucky guy Truman was almost expelled for this stupid thing." Albert curled his lips disdainfully and said, "I have been paying special attention to this issue, and later I asked some senior students and learned that Ministry of Magic uses something called Trace to locate and monitor our surroundings. As long as you use magic in the Muggle area, Ministry of Magic can send you a warning letter in minutes."

"If magic is used in Diagon Alley or a place where wizards live, Ministry of Magic can't figure out who used it?" Shanna asked tentatively.

"Yes, that's it." Albert nodded.

"It's so unfair." Shanna said angrily.

"Wizard families need to rely on conscious supervision by family members." Percy explained with a dry cough.

"If self-consciousness is really useful, why would Ministry of Magic enact so many laws?" Shanna sneered.

"I like what you said." Albert couldn't help laughing, "How philosophical, don't you think?"
