Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 170 is weird

   After entering the train, Albert walked along the corridor, looking for an empty carriage. Along the way, I didn't see my roommate in Hogwarts for the time being.

   "Probably haven't come here yet." Albert thought to himself, planning to find an empty carriage.

  Just opened the door and was about to enter the car, but heard someone calling his name next door. Albert looked up and saw Lee Jordan waving at him.

   "Albert, this way." Lee Jordan walked towards this side, and greeted Albert with a smile, "How is your summer vacation?"

   "Very good, my family and I went to the French beach for vacation." Albert closed the door of the carriage again, and followed Lee Jordan to his carriage with his luggage.

   "Who was that guy who talked to you just now?" Lee Jordan asked curiously when he opened the car door. He obviously saw the scene of Albert and Hutok confronting through the window.

   "That person seems to be called Hetok Dagworth." Albert briefly talked about his experience in France, and the warning letter he received from the Ministry of Magic after returning home.

   "The Ministry of Magic made another mistake?"

  Lee Jordan expressed sympathy for Albert's experience, and expressed worry and annoyance at the unreliable traces of the Ministry of Magic. Their family also lives in the Muggle community, and God knows that one day he will be blamed for no reason.

   "The Ministry of Magic is like this. I never expected it to be reliable." Albert's tone was full of contempt for the Ministry of Magic, and he pushed his luggage into the carriage.

  Lee Jordan was ready to help Albert put his luggage on the luggage rack.

   "No need, I'll do it myself!" Albert took out his wand and waved at his luggage. All the luggage floated up, and he directed them to put them on the upper luggage rack.

   "Excellent." Lee Jordan gave a thumbs up and continued, "Heto...does he ask you for something?"

   "Well, he came to find me the membership card that I wanted to pick up." Albert said with a strange expression, "However, he doesn't seem to intend to help me solve the trouble."

   "That guy has a really thick skin." Lee Jordan was very angry, "You probably didn't give him anything, did you?"

   "No, I simply refused." Albert shook his head and said, "I just told him to go to the Ministry of Magic to help me solve this matter, and return the things to him."

   "Did he say yes?"

   "No, I still want to use magic to get it back." Albert couldn't help but sneered, "Unfortunately, that thing is not on me for the time being."

   "What a... bastard, irresponsible bastard." Lee Jordan looked down on Hetok's behavior, looked at Albert and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I think that Dagworth will help me solve this matter." Albert waved his wand confidently, and changed the subject: "It was a big mistake not to bring a wand when I went to France, so I will It’s unlucky to encounter such a mess.”

  Lee Jordan barely squeezed a smile, he really couldn't understand Albert's thinking mode. However, I am very happy for Albert to see that the other party is confident that he can solve this matter.

   In the following time, both of them were chatting about what happened during the summer vacation.

  As the departure time of the train approached, the smoky platform became more lively, and students could be seen dragging heavy luggage to bid farewell to their families everywhere.

  About a quarter past ten, Fred, George and his family finally appeared on the platform.

   Albert and Lee Jordan saw through the window of the carriage that they were saying their final goodbyes to their families.

   "I'll go find them."

   After throwing a multi-flavored bean into his mouth, Lee Jordan opened the door of the carriage and walked out, preparing to lead the way for the two so that they would not have to spend time looking for their location.

   After a while, the sound of footsteps approached, and Albert in the carriage vaguely heard Lee Jordan's exclamation.

   "Wow! You all bought broomsticks."

   "It's Sweeping Seven Stars 5." Fred grinned happily, "Charlie managed to convince Mom to buy us a broomstick."

   "Actually, we want to sweep Seven Star 6 more. Unfortunately, the price of a new broom is more expensive..." George was a little entangled.

  Buying two broomsticks at once is still very difficult for the Weasley family.

   Overall, George and Fred are very happy to have their own broomsticks.

  Albert opened the door and walked out, looked at the twins who were pushing their luggage and said, "Congratulations."

   "Albert, what type of broom did you buy?" Fred asked curiously. He thought Albert would probably buy the best broomstick.

   "I didn't buy a broomstick." Albert's answer was beyond everyone's expectations.

   "Didn't buy it?" Fred froze for a moment and repeated in disbelief.

   "Yes, I didn't buy it." Albert shrugged.

   "What about the game?"

   "It's not necessarily that I will be selected for the Gryffindor team, and, as you know, I am very busy in the academy, and I may not have time to play."

   Not only Fred and George, but even Lee Jordan widened his eyes and opened his mouth. Everyone wants to squeeze into the Gryffindor team, but you are lucky, you can get into the team but you don't want to be in.

Albert sighed and reminded, "The most important thing is that if we all join the team, it will be too hated. Once we lose the game, Charlie will immediately become the target of everyone's accusations. I told you before It's over."

  The three of them were silent.

  Although he didn't want to admit it, Albert's considerations were not unreasonable.

   "Okay, don't crowd here." Albert signaled them not to block the passage, making it difficult for others to pass.

   "Charlie will be very disappointed." George muttered, dropped his luggage and walked away, probably to find Charlie.

   "Sorry, wait a moment." Albert said to the girl, and waved his wand, causing Fred and George's luggage to fly into the carriage.

   "Your magic is getting stronger and stronger." Fred forced a smile, "This saves us a lot of luggage."

  Shortly after they got into the carriage, Charlie rushed over. He sat down next to George and asked, "Don't you want to join the team?"

"I'm not sure if I have extra time to practice Quidditch." Albert explained casually, "You also know that I have joined Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club. By the way, this time Defense Against the Dark Arts The professor is probably someone I know too..."

   "Who? Who is the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this time?"

   "Rowena Smith." Albert said, "He is a very powerful wizard. I have been in correspondence with Rowena throughout the summer vacation. If possible, I would like to take the opportunity to learn something from him."

  Charlie was silent for a long time. He knew that Albert had made an excuse for him, but he still said, "If the team can't find a suitable player, I hope you can join."

   "Okay, I'll try my best." Albert hesitated, nodded and agreed.

   "How about your broom, though?" Charlie frowned slightly.

   "Don't worry, I have Garen. If I really need it, I will spend money to order a broomstick from the Quidditch boutique." Albert comforted.

   It's just, why does this sentence sound like a strong local arrogance?

"Well, that's good." Charlie sighed and suggested: "You can consider the sweeping seven-star series, the price is very affordable. Now the mainstream of this series is sweeping No. 6, which is faster than No. 5, suitable for seekers use."

  Charlie left after speaking, his face a little depressed.

  What Albert said, George has already told him.

  The other party quit automatically, just because he didn't want to put too much pressure on him.

   What a nice guy!

   "Charlie has great ambitions. He hopes to win a Quidditch trophy." George looked at the closed carriage door and said to Albert, "As long as he can win, no one dares to say anything."

   "Several new players have been added to the team this time, and the probability of winning..." Albert hadn't finished speaking when Fred, who rushed over, covered his mouth.

   "Shut up, you should say we will definitely win." George said sternly, he was a little afraid of Albert's broken mouth.

  Fred changed the subject in order to prevent Albert from saying something ominous, "By the way, what exactly is the rubber duck you sent over the summer vacation?"

   "Oh, that, a small toy for playing in the bath." Albert explained with a smile, "Muggles usually put it in the bath water."

  Fred and George couldn't help but stare at the words, and they decided not to tell their father about it.

   "What little yellow duck?" Li Qiaodan asked curiously.

   "The gift Albert gave us is a toy bought in a foreign country." Fred explained.

   "Ahem." George coughed hard, then changed the subject stiffly, "By the way, is your matter resolved?"

   "No, the Ministry of Magic's Prohibition of Misuse of Magic Office did not reply to my letter." Albert changed the subject very cooperatively, "I guess they threw the letter directly into the trash can after receiving it."

   "Probably not?" Fred and George said in unison.

   "Why do you think they threw your letter into the trash can?" Li Qiaodan felt that Albert would not be aimless, and there must be some reason or evidence to say so.

   Albert talked about Hetok's plan to give himself 20 Galleons as a thank you gift.

   "You didn't tell me about this just now." Li Qiaodan couldn't help complaining.

   "I just said it briefly, anyway, I have to say it again."

   "You actually refused?" Fred and George envied Albert's luck, "That's twenty Galleons!"

"Why haven't you thought about it?" Albert looked at Fred and George who were still feeling sorry for the twenty Galleons with a speechless expression, and couldn't help reminding, "Why is the other party willing to spend twenty Galleons? But you don't want to go to the Ministry of Magic to help me with that?"

"I think what Albert said is right. It doesn't take much effort, but the other party is willing to spend twenty Galleons to settle the matter. No matter how you look at it, it's a bit weird." Lee Jordan thought about Albert What Te said made sense, "Twenty Galleons is not too much, but it is definitely not too little!"
