Just after breakfast, Albert and his friends chatted in the Great Hall for a while. Fred, George, and Lee Jordan planned to go to the library.

"I didn't know when you two became so diligent?" Percy stared at his younger brothers, raising an eyebrow.

"We've always been hardworking," Fred protested.

"We're planning to look up something. Will Albert join us?" George instinctively looked at Albert.

"Did you forget? Albert has an appointment with Professor Brode," Lee Jordan said, rolling his eyes at the two of them and teasing, "And you two dimwits have the nerve to say my memory is bad."

"We were wrong." The twins said in unison.

"Hmph, it's good that you know you were wrong," Lee Jordan said triumphantly, sticking his nose up, and soon began play-fighting with the twins.

"Don't forget there's Quidditch training in the afternoon," Angelina reminded the twins, then turned her head to Albert and asked, "What about you?"

"I'm afraid I can't." Albert shook his head.

"What are you doing with Professor Brode?" Alicia asked curiously. As far as she knew, Albert had been going to Professor Brode's place for the past few weeks, but she didn't know what he was doing there.

"Well, it's a secret, oh!" Albert winked at them.

"Are you close with Professor Brode?" Percy looked somewhat surprised as he looked at Albert. "As far as I know, that professor is quite remarkable."

"Not quite sure." Albert took out his pocket watch, glanced at the time, and said, "Well, I have to go now."

"This guy is always so mysterious. I wonder what he's up to?" Angelina muttered, "He's already skipped Quidditch training several times, and Charlie has been quite unhappy. You know, ever since Albert caught the Snitch, he's been designated as Charlie's successor as the Seeker."

"Designated?" Shannon didn't understand what that meant.

"Charlie is about to graduate, and the next Quidditch captain will be Wood. Charlie originally planned to let Albert stay in the Seeker position for a while. However, he himself isn't too keen on Quidditch," Angelina said honestly, expressing her envy of Albert's good fortune.

"He's involved in a lot of things. Don't forget about the Transfiguration Club..." Shannon reminded.

At that moment, a senior student walked towards them, and his voice quickly rang in their ears, "Where's Anderson? Have any of you seen him?"

"Beck, why are you looking for Anderson?" Whether it was Angelina, Alicia, or Shannon, they could hear the respect in Percy's voice.

"I heard Anderson was here for a meal." Beck looked helpless, then turned to Shannon and said, "Please tell him not to forget to submit the Transfiguration Club paper. That's it, I have to go."

"Who is he?" Angelina asked curiously.

"You guys don't even know Beck? He's the Gryffindor Prefect. It's said that he has published articles in Today's Transfiguration and has won the Most Promising Newcomer Award in Today's Transfiguration," Percy explained.

Beck was Percy's benchmark, just like his brother Bill, but this Prefect was even more dazzling than his brother Bill.

"I feel like I'm seeing a future Albert," Alicia suddenly said.

"I have the same feeling," Shannon agreed with Alicia's point.

...

At this moment, Albert, who was being talked about by people, stood at the door of the Dark Arts Defense office on the second floor. However, he was surprised to encounter someone familiar - Isabelle from Ravenclaw.

Then...

"A paper?" Albert took out his notebook and realized that there was no relevant record.

"You were absent the week before last," Isabelle reminded him.

"Oh, when is the deadline?"

"During the Transfiguration Club tonight."

"It's too late!" Albert was speechless. If he had known earlier, he would have had time to write it, but now... he couldn't make it.

"If you go and write it now..." Isabelle looked at Albert skeptically and curiously asked, "By the way, what are you here for with Professor Brode?"

"Well, I have something." Albert raised his hand and knocked on the door of the office.

"Sooner than I expected." Professor Brode smiled and greeted Albert. The gentle smile on his face surprised Isabelle, who was standing beside Albert, and she scrutinized Albert suspiciously.

"Isabelle, come in too!"

The Dark Arts Defense office was in a mess. Not to mention the various books and parchment papers piled on the table, even the walls were affected. They were covered with various pieces of parchment, which were the research results of Albert and his friends in recent days.

"What's going on here?" Isabelle stared wide-eyed at the Dark Arts Defense office in front of her, finding it hard to believe her eyes. Was this still the Dark Arts Defense office? In Isabelle's memory, Professor Brode's office was a cozy and comfortable place. What happened to this messy and eccentric appearance?

"It's nothing. Could you please take these books to Madame Pince, and also bring back the books written on these notes?" Professor Brode pointed to several books on the parchment and said to Isabelle.

Then, he picked up a roll of parchment from his desk and handed it to Albert. "This is from Mog. He'll come by later. Take a look first."

"Is this the finished product?" Albert took the parchment and quickly glanced at its contents, asking.

"No, it's still a work in progress. He has only completed one-third of it," Professor Brode said. "What would you like to drink?"

"Milk tea, please. I just had breakfast not long ago." Albert sat on the sofa and began to read the parchment handed to him by Professor Brode, nodding, "It's faster than I expected."

He was somewhat surprised, but even more surprising was Isabelle, who was about to leave. This genius was trying to figure out what was going on.

"Uncle Mog is coming to the school?" Isabelle was very surprised by this news. In her memory, Uncle Mog was a busy man.

"Mog is writing a book, and Albert and I are assisting him," Professor Brode explained casually, "You can also come and help later. I remember you have started studying Ancient Runes, and it would be helpful for your Ancient Runes proficiency."

"Oh?" Isabelle glanced deeply at Albert and left with the book.

"How is it?" Professor Brode asked.

"I feel like there are only a few who can understand it." Albert flipped through a few pages and finally came to this conclusion. "This is not a book meant for ordinary people. Without a solid understanding of Ancient Runes, even if you know the meaning of every word, it's difficult to understand the content of the book."

It should be noted that Albert himself was a participant in the book.

Recently, his proficiency in Ancient Runes had improved a lot, but he still found it somewhat challenging to read, let alone others.

What's the point of such a book? Albert seemed to have guessed Professor Brode's thoughts, and he smiled, saying, "Actually, I can't understand the book either. In Mog's words, this book is meant to elevate the overall proficiency of Ancient Runes. It doesn't matter if ordinary people can't understand it. There will always be someone who can."
