I can't understand it at all!
Izebell just received the parchment from Albert's hands and, after glancing at its contents, she realized she couldn't make sense of it at all.
Even though Izebell had already come into contact with ancient magical scripts and was far ahead of her classmates in the same year, the brilliant witch helplessly discovered that she couldn't even make sense of the parchment without the help of a magical dictionary, let alone understand it.
Can this guy really understand it?
Izebell had her doubts.
After all, Albert's age was there for all to see, and even if it were exaggerated, there should be some limits! However, Albert's appearance didn't seem like an act at all. Professor Brode also agreed with him, as evidenced by their previous conversation, which showed Albert's high proficiency in ancient magical scripts, surpassing her imagination completely.
At this moment, the guy was actually holding a quill and making modifications on Mr. Mog's parchment, adding his own views and insights on certain aspects, occasionally discussing a certain issue with Professor Brode. The words he spoke were also in ancient magical scripts, without the need for anything like "The Sound Table of Magic Words" or "The Dictionary of Magical Scripts."
"What is going on with this guy?" Izebell was truly perplexed. She couldn't understand how Albert managed to master ancient magical scripts in such a short time; it was really strange.
The silent genius girl was deeply immersed in self-doubt when flames suddenly rose from the fireplace in the office, grabbing the attention of several people.
"Sorry, I'm late. I didn't expect something sudden to come up with Wiesen Gamow," Moog MacDough walked out of the fire, brushing off the soot from his robe. He said to Professor Brode, "Bard, you missed it. Didn't you receive the notification?"
"I received it this morning. But it came up suddenly, so I pretended not to receive it. It's not a big deal anyway," Professor Brode pursed his lips and said, "They didn't notify me in advance, so I couldn't spare the time to attend."
"That's a good excuse," MacDough nodded, seemingly considering whether to use such an excuse in the future.
"What was the final outcome?" Professor Brode asked.
"What else could it be? She was fined a large sum of money and imprisoned again," MacDough said nonchalantly, "They broke her wand once again and sentenced her to ten years in Azkaban."
"Ten years? I thought it would be a life sentence. Carotta Pinkston has not been using magic recklessly in front of Muggles for the first time," Professor Brode reminded, "Last time, her wand was broken too."
"Carotta Pinkston got herself a new wand. Now, the Ministry of Magic has announced the revocation of Carotta's wand-use privileges," MacDough explained, "Everyone has unanimously decided that if Carotta continues to violate the Statute of Secrecy, she will be given a permanent bed in Azkaban."
Upon hearing this, Albert couldn't help but sneer and asked, "Does the Ministry of Magic often break other people's wands? I mean, when they violate the Statute of Secrecy."
Professor Brode and MacDough exchanged glances, fell into a brief silence, and finally, MacDough answered Albert's question, "Under normal circumstances, no, at most, they would impose fines."
"What about the 'Reasonable Restraints on Underage Wizards Act'?" Albert asked again.
"The third clause of the 'Reasonable Restraints on Underage Wizards Act' states that the deliberate and knowing use of magic in front of Muggles in a Muggle residential area constitutes a criminal offense," MacDough shrugged at Albert, "In fact, 'deliberate and knowing' here refers to having received a warning letter at least once. If it's not too serious, the offender usually only needs to have a face-to-face meeting with the Director of the Office for the Prohibition of the Abuse of Magic. Under normal circumstances, it won't be too severe, at most, imposing fines. Of course, if you have a criminal record and a bad reputation, you might be unlucky."
"Muggle wizards?" Albert asked again. "If I violate the 'Reasonable Restraints on Underage Wizards Act' twice in a row, is it possible for me to be expelled from school?"
"Why are you asking that?" MacDough raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Just as a precaution, in case I really break the law, I can find a loophole. After all, my family is in the legal profession. Oh, you may not know what lawyers are. They are people who defend others in court," Albert casually stated the reason why he wanted to understand all this.
"It seems like you don't have a good impression of the Ministry of Magic?" Izebell couldn't help but feel speechless. She realized that the person in front of her wasn't a well-behaved guy either. He was actually planning to exploit loopholes in the Ministry of Magic's laws?
"Before the start of the school year, I encountered some unpleasant things," Albert didn't mention the incident involving Durmstrang.
"Is it related to this?"
"Yes."
"You might get expelled," Professor Brode answered Albert's question. "To some extent, the decision is made by the Director of the Office for the Prohibition of the Abuse of Magic. If they do decide to take such action, there is a process to ensure..."
"If you ever run into some minor trouble, I'll help you sort it out, provided you help me complete this book," MacDough interrupted Professor Brode, raising his hand. He smiled and said, "The situation in the Ministry of Magic is indeed as you thought, but the 'Reasonable Restraints on Underage Wizards Act' is mainly aimed at wizards living in Muggle residential areas. You know, young children often struggle to restrain themselves, especially after obtaining magic, they can't help but want to try it out. That's why the 'Reasonable Restraints on Underage Wizards Act' is needed."
"When you come of age and enter the wizarding world, you will find that wizards rarely interact with Muggles, even the Weasleys, who love Muggles," MacDough thought for a moment and said.
"So, it's still a matter of connections and influence?" Albert said meaningfully.
"Yes, if it's just some minor matters and you have enough connections and influence, nothing will happen, at most, you'll be fined," MacDough openly discussed such matters in front of Albert.
"Uncle Moog!" Izebell frowned and reminded him.
"It's true. Having power in the wizarding world is quite important," Moog blinked and said, "Of course, if you know the Minister of Magic and have a good relationship with him, as long as it's not a serious offense, he'll turn a blind eye!"
"Are you suggesting..."
"Actually, I'm very interested in Apparition," Albert said openly, not avoiding the topic. "If I can learn it, then I won't have to worry about transportation anymore."
"I suggest you write a letter to the Knight Bus, asking it to pick you up on its way," MacDough said with a smile. "The way to board the Knight Bus is to raise your wand in the air."
"No, no, Moog, I think Albert just wants... to take the easy way out," Professor Brode saw through Albert's intentions with a single glance and reminded him, "Apparition is still too difficult for you at the moment."
"Alright, I think we should get back on track with the topic!" MacDough waved his wand, and a stack of parchment appeared out of thin air, landing on the table in front of the two.
"This is the second draft."
