Since mastering Voldemort's spell-casting technique, Albert has been spending a lot of time and energy on practice, trying to completely master this spell-casting technique.

Isobel also followed Albert to learn this brand-new spell-casting technique, and the learning speed was so fast that Albert couldn't help but wonder which of the two was cheating.

"You are so awesome."

Seeing Isobel skillfully using Voldemort's Curse Method, the expression on Albert's face was very complicated. His learning progress was naturally faster than that of Isobel, but without the bonus of the panel, he would have been thrown out by the other party.

"You are the one who is really powerful." Isobel kissed Albert's forehead as if comforting a child, and said softly, "I'm just imitating you."

In fact, Isobel was also confused and didn't understand why Albert showed such a complicated expression.

In her eyes, Albert is indeed a genius among geniuses. He has even begun to create his own spell-casting techniques. Being able to explain them to her in detail doesn't mean that this spell-casting technique is very mature.

Can you be immature? Voldemort himself doesn't know how many years he has been using it, and he has gradually improved it in practice. It can be compared with the record left when he won the Barnabus·Finkley Excellent Spellcasting Technique Award.

"Most wizards don't care much about spell casting techniques, and they don't even have this concept." Albert turned the slippers on the table into a rabbit, "I can't see the spell casting techniques of other professors."

"It's normal to not see it. Unless you deliberately learn it, observe and study it, the spell-casting techniques of ordinary wizards are more derived from their daily spell-casting habits." Isobel tapped the rabbit lightly with his wand, turning it into a kitten.

"Only wizards who truly specialize in magic will spend time and energy paying attention to this issue?" Albert probably also understands what Isobel means.

Will ordinary people go out of their way to pay attention? No, even the professors in the school probably won't.

"Professor Flitwick's spell-casting technique is very clever. He should have invented it himself. Last year's Rowena·Smith's spell-casting technique was excellent from Barnabus·Finkley I learned it from the records of the Spellcasting Technique Award. It's not surprising that Smith Family has relevant records." Isobel picked up the kitten and pinched its soft cheeks. "However, Rowena's set should have been improved and suitable for his own use."

"You actually saw it?" Albert admired Isobel's eyesight.

"I didn't see it. I know because I asked Rowena for similar questions."

"Then how did you figure out my spell casting technique?"

Albert is even more curious.

"You were too deliberate at that time. Wizards who know how to cast spells can naturally feel it vaguely." Isobel suddenly laughed, "However, I was just asking casually."

"Oh, that's what it is."

Albert had also considered whether he would be directly targeted by Dumbledore if he used Voldemort's spell-casting technique. Now it seems that as long as he masters the spell-casting technique, he will not be specially noticed even if he uses it in front of the principal.

After all, no one would associate Albert with Voldemort.

Moreover, the probability of him casting a spell in front of the principal is probably not too high.

"What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing." Albert couldn't help but sigh, "The deeper you study magic, the more complex it becomes."

"There are not many people who think like this." Isobel said softly, "Most wizards only learn superficial magic, and I am no exception. There are very few wizards who study magic deeply."

Albert suddenly fell silent, feeling that he was thinking too much. He was not a wizard who liked to delve into the nature of magic.

In recent days, Albert has been running to Hagrid very frequently, just to confirm whether Quirrell sent dragon eggs to Hagrid and whether he entered Forbidden Forest to hunt unicorns.

When the two were drinking tea and chatting, Hagrid told him about Harry's reminder.

"Well, if it were me, I would probably say that."

After listening to Hagrid's words, Albert couldn't help but laugh, "Have you ever told Dumbledore about this?"

"No, I don't think we should bother Dumbledore with this kind of thing." Hagrid shook his head.

"Actually, I think you can talk to Dumbledore about this matter. He will definitely pay attention to Potter's affairs." Albert suggested with a smile, "After all, Quidditch Match and Dumbledore are also present at this year's second game, aren't they?"

"You also think Professor Snape is suspicious?"

"I don't like Snape." Albert took a sip of tea and looked at Tom who was doing something in the corner. "Anyway, I feel that he is indeed suspicious."

Hagrid opened his mouth, staring blankly at Albert who was drinking tea, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"You should also know that Snape doesn't look like a good person at first glance." Albert said with a smile after seeing Hagrid's expression, "I suspect him because some of his own actions do look suspicious."

"I think Albert is right. Snape is not a good person at first glance." Harry, who had just walked into Hagrid's Hut, nodded repeatedly in support of Albert's point of view.

"Sorry, I just couldn't help it." Ron couldn't help but laugh out loud. After noticing everyone's gaze, he quickly explained, "What Albert said is so insightful. I completely agree."

"Hagrid, I suspect that Snape is forcing Professor Quirrell to tell him how to pass Protect the Philosopher's Stone's level." Harry saw Hagrid's deeply frowned brows and told him what happened a while ago.

"Harry, do you know what you are talking about."

Hagrid does not agree with Harry's statement of slandering the professor. Snape has been working at Hogwarts for several years. If he is really untrustworthy, how could Dumbledore allow him to stay at Hogwarts to teach? Hagrid really doesn't believe in Snape, but he believes in Dumbledore.

"Of course I know it very well." Harry said dryly.

"Don't worry Harry, no one can steal Philosopher's Stone, and no one can pass Fluffy." Hagrid just beat his chest to guarantee it.

Speaking of Fluffy, Hagrid couldn't help but glance at Albert. He actually told Dumbledore about it, but the principal said that Albert would not have Philosopher's Stone's idea, so Hagrid didn't pay much attention to it.

Albert also noticed the way Hagrid looked at him, but he didn't pay much attention to it because he saw his own Tom take out a fat mouse from the corner.

"Tom, don't eat those messy things." Albert stepped forward to stop him.

"Don't your cats eat mice?" Hermione asked in confusion.

"It has never eaten a mouse." Albert took out his wand and knocked the mouse unconscious, then picked up his Tom from the ground.

"It's really fat." Ron muttered quietly, "I didn't expect that it could catch mice with such a size."

"Hagrid." Harry wanted to bring the topic back, "In the past, didn't you also say that Gringotts was very safe? But in the end, Dark wizard still broke into Gringotts. Goblin didn't catch Dark wizard. Maybe Hogwarts is really safe, but Gringotts can be hacked, why do you think Hogwarts can't?"
