Perhaps he had a bit of fame. Or maybe it couldn't be considered fame at all.

In any case, Albert was astonished to find that a renowned wizard had replied to his letter.

The person's name was Ed Fosco, and the response was very brief. Fosco expressed a willingness to correspond with Albert through letters and left him with a question, wanting to hear Albert's insights on the basic principles of Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration.

The question left by Mr. Fosco wasn't particularly difficult, in fact, it could be considered quite simple. It made Albert wonder if the person already knew his age.

However, Albert didn't mind. What concerned him more was the appearance of a new task on his task board.

Wide Circle of Friends.

Make friends with five renowned wizards in the wizarding world and maintain correspondence with them. You will receive unexpected rewards.

Number of wizards befriended: 1/5

Reward: 5000 experience points, +500 reputation in the wizarding world

He hadn't expected a task like this to appear. Even though Albert might not be able to complete it at the moment, it didn't mean he couldn't do so in the future. Albert never considered experience to be a burden. Feeling in a good mood today, he began to think about how to reply to Mr. Fosco.

After spending some time, he finished writing the letter, sealed it in an envelope, and handed it to Shera, watching as the owl flew off. He then turned his attention back to his food, only to find that his slice of bread had been pecked full of holes by Shera.

Albert shook his head lightly, used magic to clear the items on his plate, and picked up another piece of bread to continue enjoying his breakfast.

"You seem to be in a good mood. Did something good happen?" Angelina, who was sitting next to him, asked curiously.

"Mr. Fosco replied to me," Albert naturally didn't mention anything about task boards.

"Mr. Fosco?"

"I don't know him either. I just received his letter and replied," Albert casually replied, "Anyway, it's just one letter, it won't waste too much time."

And there were some things Albert didn't say.

He didn't think that they would exchange letters frequently. Famous individuals were usually very busy every day, and they didn't have so much time to write to him. Not everyone was like Tom in his family, who spent his days eating, sleeping, and sunbathing.

"Have you heard?" Lee Jordan came over with a mysterious look on his face, as if he had heard something interesting.

"I haven't heard. What's the matter?" Albert raised his head and looked at his roommate. "What's going on?"

"Phantom Apparition class," Lee Jordan said excitedly, revealing the news he had just heard.

"Wasn't that mentioned shortly after returning from Christmas break?" Albert was somewhat puzzled as he looked at Lee Jordan. "Can lower-year students sign up for the Phantom Apparition class?"

"Are you thinking of signing up?" Fred asked lazily.

"Well, Phantom Apparition is a convenient magic to learn," Albert nodded, "Don't you want to learn? It would make traveling much easier in the future."

"Forget it, unless you're already seventeen," Lee Jordan replied irritably. "The class starts this afternoon, but you can go and watch the upper-year students practice Phantom Apparition."

"I once read a section of Hogwarts history, and it seemed like Phantom Apparition wasn't allowed to be used in the school?" Angelina said uncertainly. "Sothey're going to practice the Phantom Apparition spell in the Great Hall?"

"No, the location is the courtyard," Lee Jordan pointed to the area.

"That's not possible," Angelina frowned.

"Nothing is impossible. I suppose the Headmaster will remove the protective enchantments that prevent Phantom Apparition within the school, allowing it in the Great Hall. By the way, does anyone have an owl I can borrow? I want to order something," Albert flipped open his potion book, where he recorded the recipe for developing solution, and asked the others.

"Don't you have one?" Lee Jordan asked, puzzled.

"Shera flew off to deliver the letter. I'm planning to write a letter to a apothecary in Diagon Alley to purchase some potion ingredients," Albert explained.

He was ready to complete the task of magical photography as soon as possible and acquire the skill of alchemy. Albert originally thought that once he created the protective wristband, the task board would display the skill of alchemy. However, his task board never showed any related skills, so Albert decided not to continue trying.

Albert planned to obtain the skill of alchemy first and then consider its effects.

"You can use mine!" Alicia offered.

"What kind of potion are you planning to brew?" Fred curiously asked, "Is it the Elixir of Luck?"

"It's a developing solution," Albert pointed to the page in the book, saying, "I heard that the developing solution can make the people in the photos come alive."

"That sounds interesting. Can you share some with me?" Angelina asked awkwardly, "Of course, I'll help."

"If there's any left, I don't mind giving it to you," Albert agreed.

"Albert, we're planning to go out for a stroll later. Are you coming?" Fred nodded towards the door and asked.

"Where to?" Angelina asked, puzzled. "To the Quidditch pitch?"

In the afternoon, there was a training session for the Gryffindor team, and they were close to winning the championship. Charlie didn't dare to slack off.

"I have an appointment later," Albert politely declined the twins' invitation.

"With whom?" George couldn't help asking. "You're not planning to join us in the Forbidden Forest?"

"Into the forest?" Angelina's voice rose in surprise. "What are you guys doing in there?"

"Adventure and treasure hunting!" the twins said in unison.

In reality, they were going to search for some valuable potion ingredients. Especially after the incident last time, the Weasley twins had read A Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi multiple times and were prepared to go into the forest to search for treasures.

As for Lee Jordan, the last punishment had been quite severe, which made him reflect on whether the risk of venturing into the forest was worth it.

Lee Jordan was aware that there were many precious things inside the Forbidden Forest, but sometimes luck was also a factor. That's why the twins wanted to bring Albert along since he had always been lucky, and if Albert went, Lee Jordan would follow.

In their words, if Albert went along, the risk of the adventure would decrease significantly.

"I'm planning to play a game of Wizard Chess with Professor Bard Broad," Albert casually mentioned.

"I remember Professor Broad is the International Wizard Chess Champion! I have a feeling you're going to lose miserably," not only George, but everyone else looked at Albert with pity.

"It's interesting to play against skilled opponents. Even if I lose, it doesn't really matter. It's all about having the right mindset. Besides, think about it, having a Wizard Chess champion as a dedicated mentor isn't a bad feeling," Albert said without hesitation.

"That sounds reasonable," Fred nodded. "But I still have a feeling that you're just making excuses for your impending failure."

Albert couldn't help but roll his eyes.He didn't bother paying attention to this group of unreliable friends. Instead, he continued to read the instructions for the developing solution.

Alchemy.

He was feeling a bit excited!
