Hogwarts School is actually quite small, so any little thing can quickly spread to everyone. In particular, when people heard that Albert had given Professor Snape Prophecy, countless onlookers were almost shocked.

Some admired Albert's audacity, for daring to use Prophecy to frighten Professor Snape.

Harry and Ron, who witnessed the whole process, almost became Albert's staunch supporters. Nothing could please them more than seeing Malfoy suffer or Snape get humiliated.

Of course, some people were more curious about whether the two Prophecy were true. Those students who disliked Professor Snape sincerely hoped that their Potions Professor would get his wish and become the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor.

There aren't many students who take Albert's Prophecy seriously. Most people are unwilling to admit that Albert has Prophecy abilities. They think, "We're all students, so why are you so outstanding?"

However, Snape had come to believe some of these two Prophecy, especially Albert's statement. "Beware of black and white."

Snape, a former double agent, naturally understood the meaning of this statement. Black and white was undoubtedly a vivid description of himself. Snape did not believe that Albert knew about his past, but if Albert could truly Prophecy future, then it would be clear.

Did Albert Anderson really have Prophecy? Snape didn't know either. He had discussed this with Dumbledore, but Dumbledore didn't know either, because he had also reviewed Albert's detailed records and knew very well that there had never been Seer among Albert's ancestors.

Most Prophecy Master ' abilities are Prophecy talents passed down through their family bloodline.

Of course, it's undeniable that some wizards possess Prophecy abilities, but could Albert be one of them? Dumbledore genuinely didn't know, and he wasn't planning to ask Albert. Even if he did, Albert would probably just give him a perfunctory answer. He decided to wait and see how things unfolded and see if Albert possessed Prophecy abilities.

Compared to the two's calm demeanor, Malfoy's situation was much worse. His mental fortitude was not as good as Snape's, and he was driven almost insane by Albert's so-called Prophecy.

Finally, he could only write home, explaining his situation and seeking his parents' help. Lucius Malfoy came to visit Snape the following evening.

In fact, Lucius didn't believe in so-called Prophecy either. As a Pure-blood wizard, he knew better than anyone how difficult it was to become a Seer.

Is it really possible for a Muggle-born wizard to be Seer? The probability is extremely small.

Lucius was very unhappy with his son's disheveled appearance and gave Draco a severe scolding. He was very dissatisfied that Draco had been intimidated by a few words from the other party.

Worst of all, Draco believed Albert's Prophecy might be true. Lucius, left with no other option, used the Memory Charm to erase his son's memories of Albert's Prophecy, making him completely forget everything.

After watching Draco leave, Lucius looked at Snape again and said, "I heard he also made a Prophecy about you?"

Snape simply nodded and calmly looked at his old friend, saying, "You don't need to worry about that guy. He can't cause any trouble. Also, keep Draco away from him. Albert Anderson is very vengeful, and nothing good ever comes of dealing with him."

"Also, the person who sent you the anonymous package wasn't him. His owl is white, and the owl that sent you the package last time was clearly not his."

"Yes, I understand." Lucius understood Snape's meaning, nodded, and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he asked his old friend to look after his son.

Snape agreed.

Albert's Prophecy faded within a few days and was eventually replaced by the Slytherin Team vs. Ravenclaw Team match.

As expected, Ravenclaw Team lost to Slytherin Team. Although the match wasn't one-sided at the start, Ravenclaw Team struggled and ultimately lost.

Are you planning to participate in Wizard Card Competition?

In the private library of the Room of Requirement, Albert was quite surprised after hearing Isobel's words. He never expected that his girlfriend, who had been busy studying, would actually take time out to participate in the second Wizard Card Competition.

"Not welcome?"

I thought you didn't have time.

"I need to relax sometimes too. Is Katrina going to compete?"

"I think I'll pass." Katrina waved the parchment in her hand, indicating that she was already overwhelmed with her studies.

Although Albert and Isobel's help has eased Katrina's pressure somewhat, she still has a lot to do every day. For example, she has to write a lot of papers every week, sometimes continuing to write even when her hands are sore.

As for the automatic Quill invented by Albert, it was very difficult to use. It did not memorize quickly like Quick-Quotes Quill. The automatic Quill simply recorded the words on parchment according to the thoughts in one's mind.

Using it to write an article is not as efficient as using a pen directly.

Katrina watched Isobel's departing figure and said hesitantly, "Will we become like Isobel when we're in fifth grade?"

Isobel is undoubtedly a genius among geniuses, and almost no students can compare to her. If even she feels tired, what will they do then? Even if they use the Time-Turner, they still need to learn on their own, and a person's energy is limited.

Look at Percy Weasley, who is also an excellent student. His situation is not good either. The daily homework and review of knowledge are almost breaking his nerves. He has become very irritable and does not like to linger in the Common Room. Percy Weasley always runs to the library.

Katrina suddenly felt a little afraid that she would become like that when she was in fifth grade.

"That's a matter for the future, it's not too late to worry about it then!" Albert wasn't worried, after all, he was a man with a panel on his body.

"By the way, I heard you gave Snape Prophecy," Katrina suddenly said.

"Well, I was just trying to scare them. Who told Malfoy to try and touch my cat?" Albert said with an expression that said, "It's not my fault." He would only tell others that he was just saying it casually, and whether they believed him or not was none of his business.

"Give me Prophecy!" Katrina suddenly said.

"What do you want to Prophecy?" Albert asked. "And my Prophecy aren't free."

"How many Galleon?" Katrina asked.

"Well, since we're good friends, I'll give you a discount of ten Galleon." Albert smiled and rubbed his hands together.

"You're such Money-grubber." Katrina couldn't help but roll her eyes. "I'm Galleon, and you're charging such high prices for a third-rate Seer."

"Even a third-rate Seer still Seer," Albert reminded him with a smile. "And how do you know my Prophecy won't be accurate?"

"I don't have Galleon," Katrina said irritably.

"You can participate in the Wizard Card Competition; the champion gets ten Galleon." Albert didn't quite understand why Katrina wasn't planning to participate in the Wizard Card Competition.

"Forget it, if Isobel were to participate in the Wizard Card Competition, I doubt anyone but you could beat her," Katrina said with a hint of helplessness. "I've never seen her lose since we were kids."

She added in her mind: It doesn't count if you deliberately lost to me!
