In the Great Hall, Twins scuffled and played together, which aroused the laughter of many people.

Albert just raised his head and glanced at them, quietly moved to the empty seat next to him, pretending that he didn't know the two funny guys in front of him, turned over the notebook in his hand, and felt the benefits brought by Potions Mastery's addition.

Li·Jordan glanced at Twins who was still playing around, sat next to Albert, and asked, "What were you thinking about just now?"

"I returned that Gold Card. I wonder what kind of thank you gift Hertok will give me." Albert flipped through the notebook and said casually, "I'm looking forward to it a little bit."

"I thought you didn't care about the other person's thank you gift." Li Jordan was very surprised when he heard Albert mention this. In his impression, would Albert care about other people's thank you gifts?

Obviously not! So...

Li·Jordan suddenly came to his senses. This guy was changing the subject! At this moment, a long-eared owl came towards Accio and threw a small package into Albert's arms.

Albert smiled and said, "Look, it's coming."

Li·Jordan:"..."

Just now Albert was talking about the thank-you gift, but unexpectedly, an owl brought the thank-you gift in the blink of an eye.

"What's coming?" Angelina also sat over and happened to hear Albert say something was coming, so he asked casually.

"Thank you." Albert shook the package in his hand. He naturally knew what was inside, but he still opened the package on the spot. There was a piece of folded parchment and a glass medicine bottle with a golden liquid inside.

"What is this?"

Seeing the golden liquid in the glass medicine bottle, Lee Jordan couldn't help but widen his eyes. He had never seen Potions of this color before.

"It should be Felix Felicis." Albert said without thinking, "It is also called Lucky Potion. There are about two spoons in it. The effect of the medicine should last all day."

"Felix Felicis?"

The Twins who were originally struggling with each other also stopped playing and came over one after another, wanting to see the legendary Lucky Potion with their own eyes.

"What is Felix Felicis?" Angelina looked at the glass medicine bottle containing the golden liquid in confusion and asked.

"Is this the legendary Lucky Potion?" Fred took Felix Felicis from Li Jordan's hand, looked at it carefully, and made a drinking gesture, "I really want to take a sip and give it a try."

"Who gave it to you?" George couldn't help but ask.

"Hertok. I sent the things back to him. This is his thank you gift." Albert explained simply.

"It's really enviable. You're lucky enough. After drinking this bottle of Felix Felicis, your luck will explode!" George took the bottle from Fred, took a look at it, and then returned it to Albert, who took the bottle of Felix Felicis and stuffed it directly into his pocket.

"Felix Felicis cannot bring real luck. It can greatly improve the drinker's various abilities, make him think more actively, and do things smoothly." Albert explained while reading the letter, "To a certain extent, its effect can be regarded as bringing luck. Unfortunately, this stuff is poisonous if you drink too much."

"Drink too much? You want to drink more!"

Several people couldn't help but stare at Albert. They felt that this guy was really too big-hearted, and he actually wanted to drink too much? You are obviously lucky enough. Being able to receive this bottle of Felix Felicis as a thank you gift is a very lucky thing in itself.

As a result, this guy actually wanted to drink Felix Felicis often? "This is only a small bottle!" Angelina reminded.

"There is no need to drink it all at once. A small sip can last for about two or three hours. Moreover, I will brew it myself in the future." Albert said, "When I brew it, you will have a chance to try it."

"You won't be poisoned directly." Li Jordan pinched his neck and made a look like he was poisoned and died. "Didn't you say that Felix Felicis is difficult to brew? If you don't do it well, it will become a highly poisonous substance."

"You have to believe me." Albert said with a smile, "If you can drink a little every six months, your life will become better."

"That's not bad." George muttered, "But, I thought you were going to sell it for money."

"Come on, don't keep thinking about Galleon." Albert stood up and was about to put Felix Felicis back in the dormitory. If he accidentally broke it or lost it, he would probably faint from crying in the toilet.

"By the way, tell me, can you use Felix Felicis to find... Secret Treasure hidden in Forbidden Forest." Fred was talking in a low voice about the incident a few months ago in the deserted corridor.

"Why haven't you given up on this yet?" Albert frowned upon hearing this, turned his head and glared at Fred, and warned, "Have you forgotten that you almost got into Acromantula's belly?"

"Last time, we were not very lucky. However, this time, you have Felix Felicis, and if you are well prepared." George also has some ideas, "Also, as long as we can learn the spell to deal with spiders, the three of us..."

"You three? Bastards, you are actually planning to exclude me." Li Jordan waved his fists in dissatisfaction and was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. "Besides, didn't you say that Treasure Map was thrown into Forbidden Forest by Albert? Without Treasure Map's guidance, how would you go to find Secret Treasure?"

"You believe Albert's words. Even if he really throws Treasure Map into Forbidden Forest, there must be a way to get it back." Fred looked at Li·Jordan like an idiot.

"What's that look in your eyes?" Li·Jordan said dissatisfied.

"Look at the idiot's eyes." Fred said honestly.

"Hey, I've been in the same dormitory with Albert for a semester, and you still don't understand his character?" George was finishing his blows next to him.

What Albert said may be true, but how much truth there is in it is unknown.

Because what he is best at is creating so-called facts.

"No, I still want to live for a few more years, but I don't want to take risks in the woods anymore. What if I get dragged away and eaten by Acromantula?" Albert shook his head and refused.

"It would be nice if you don't catch them and sell them for money." Fred looked like your current special code is teasing me.

"Treasure Map is really still in your hands?" Li Jordan suddenly asked.

"I said I threw it in the forest." Albert said.

"You must have gotten it back." Fred curled his lips, "Just use Summoning Charm."

"I don't know how." Albert spread his hands to express that he didn't know how. In fact, he really doesn't know how to Summoning Charm.

"You don't know how?" The three of them looked at each other, but no one believed his nonsense.

When a few people passed the corner, they stopped talking about this topic. Someone came towards the corner, it was Professor Smith.

After Smith saw Albert, he said, "Anderson, I just have something to ask you."

"What's the matter, Professor Smith?" Albert asked.

"The research on Boggart has already yielded results." Smith said with a little excitement in his tone, "Follow me, I will show you the photos. This is a major discovery. Why has no one thought of using this method to explore the form of Boggart before?"

"See you later." Albert said to his roommate.

The three of them looked at each other in confusion, watching the leaving figures of Albert and Professor Smith. The topic turned to the Boggart research that Professor Smith had just talked about, and they speculated on what Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor had discovered.

Albert followed Professor Smith and asked curiously, "Have you photographed the entity of Boggart?"

"Yes, I got it." Smith stretched out his hand to open the wooden door and invited Albert into his office.

"I photographed the body of Boggart through the camera. It is a constantly rotating mist. Boggart itself does not have a real entity."

Professor Smith took out some photos from the drawer. The thing in the photos was a rotating mass, a bit like fog. He announced, "I am going to publish this major discovery in the magazine Incredible."

"Congratulations, Professor Smith." Albert said with a smile.

"No, no, congratulations to you too, Anderson, you also have a share of credit for this." Professor Smith said with a smile, "This is the method you came up with. Without you, I would not have discovered this secret. So, I plan to write your name on it too."

"No need, Professor, this is your achievement." Albert shook his head and refused. "If you feel you have taken advantage of me, you can teach me some useful spells or alchemy."

"This..." Smith had a strange look on his face, nodded and said, "Your alchemy level is only average, but I can give you some help in this regard."

"That's great." Albert said, "It's a pity that Hogwarts didn't teach alchemy."

"This subject requires a relatively high starting point." Smith explained, "In Britain, there are not many people who value alchemy, and the books on alchemy in Hogwarts Library are of little use. Generally, you need to wait until you graduate to study it yourself."

He suddenly said, "I still plan to fill in your name. It is not a good idea to monopolize other people's achievements."

Albert was very surprised, but he no longer refused Professor Smith's decision.

"By the way, I just heard that you wanted to be imprisoned? What did you say Secret Treasure?" Professor Smith suddenly frowned and warned, "This is not a good idea. Forbidden Forest is very dangerous. Don't be fooled by Treasure Map."

"Uh, I know." Albert nodded.

"So what are Mr. Weasley talking about?" Professor Smith asked suspiciously.

"Last semester, Fred and George were fooled into the woods with a Treasure Map. I will tell them to give up this idea and not to be fooled again." Albert said briefly.

"That's good." Smith nodded, "Forbidden Forest Although the outside is not dangerous, the depth is very dangerous. Don't take risks foolishly. No matter how many lives you have, it is not enough to lose."

"I know, then I'll leave first." Albert and Professor Smith said hello. When they were about to leave, they suddenly turned around and asked, "Can you give me this photo?"

"Of course." Professor Smith didn't refuse. There were several photos like this on the table.

Albert put the photo into the pocket of his robe, turned and left the office.

"Secret Treasure?" Smith looked at Albert's leaving back, with a strange light shining in his eyes.

Albert left the office and just walked a few steps when he saw a boy walking towards him, and the boy also glanced at him.

Then, he walked to Defence Against the Dark Arts office and raised his hand to knock on the wooden door.

"That person seems to be... Smith?" Albert looked away and muttered, "Do you really know him?"

However, it's not surprising that they know each other. Britain is so old, so the wizards named Smith are probably related.

After Albert returned to Common Room, Fred was not found. He put Felix Felicis in a wooden box, then placed the box in his drawer and used Anti-Alohomora Charm on it to ensure that no one could open the drawer.

At least, most students can't.

There are some personal notes in the drawer, his camera, the previously made Protective Bracelet, and... the treasure map of Secret Treasure.

Enter Forbidden Forest? Albert has indeed had this idea, and now with Felix Felicis, he is a little more certain of success.

However, he didn't plan to go now. It would be too risky. He had to wait until he became stronger and strong enough that his life was not in danger before going in.

Although exciting adventures are fun, life is undoubtedly more important.

Just as Albert was about to put the map back into the drawer, the door was suddenly opened, and the three of them walked in with a smile, just in time to see Albert holding the map.

"Look, let me tell you, that map must still be in Albert's hand." Fred looked like I knew it.

Albert calmly put the map back into the drawer and cast a spell on it. He shrugged and said to a few people, "Don't venture into Forbidden Forest until you are fully prepared. I will go with you when I am ready."

The three of them couldn't help but look at each other, and then couldn't help laughing.

"Look, I said Albert also likes adventure." George patted Albert on the shoulder and said, "When will you teach us the spell to deal with spiders?"

"If you want to enter and exit Forbidden Forest safely to find treasures, optical Spider Repelling Spell won't work." Albert shook his head, "Even if you learn that spell, you will be eaten by spiders sooner or later."

"Why?" Li·Jordan looked puzzled.

"Because Acromantula's most powerful thing is sneak attack." Fred explained, "In the forest, once Acromantula successfully sneak attacks, it's really over."

"Then why are you still alive now?" Li·Jordan said angrily.

"Last time, those big spiders didn't intend to kill us all at once." George explained, "However, this time it's not necessarily the case."

As he spoke, he pointed at Albert and said, "Last time, when Albert rescued us, he knocked down a large group of Acromantula. I think those big spiders will definitely hold a grudge."

"Hold a grudge?"

"I checked Acromantula's information. They can talk and have wisdom." Fred explained, "Next time they meet us, they will probably... kill us directly."

"It seems that you guys didn't just want to go into the forest and die in a flash of your mind." Albert was quite satisfied. If Fred and George just wanted to take risks in Forbidden Forest without any brain, then he would have to think about it carefully.
