Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 205 The mouse

  The busy and fulfilling college life always goes by very fast.

  In the blink of an eye, time rushed to the end of October.

  The rainy season is still going on every year, and the weather is getting colder and colder, just like last year, and the situation is as bad as ever.

   "It's raining, it's always frustrating!"

  Albert suppressed a yawn, looked up at the rainy ceiling, looking for an excuse for being lazy.

"morning."

  Fred and George reached out and patted Percy's shoulder vigorously, and greeted his brother sitting next to him with a smile. This beat made Percy, who was eating, choked and coughed dryly.

Albert was a little amused, and passed over the drink next to him. Percy took a big gulp of the drink, swallowed the food in his mouth, and stared fiercely at Fred and George, who used Albert as a shield .

  The two people hiding behind Albert are opening and closing their lips. If they can read the lip language, it is impressive: You swallowed it yourself, don't blame us.

Just then, the students' attention was drawn to the arrival of a horde of postmen, owls who had traveled long distances in the rain, swooping through the splashed windows and splashing rain on everyone's heads in the auditorium and body.

  A gray owl threw a boxy package in front of Albert.

   "Feel like you get the mail every day." Fred said enviously, pointing to another owl flying in this direction.

  The owl delivered a letter.

Albert glanced at the sender, stuffed the envelope into his pocket, and then opened the package in front of him. Inside was a copy of "Advanced Magic Text Translation" that still smelled of ink. This book was most likely from Lihen Bookstore Just sent. "

   ""Advanced Runes Translation"?" Percy glanced at the title of the book and frowned slightly, because he, who also took the ancient runes, had never heard the name of this book.

   "This is the latest book compiled by Professor Babling. It seems to be a reference book for the ancient magic text courses in senior grades." Albert explained casually.

   To be honest, the publication of this book is faster than he expected.

   "A book compiled by Professor Babling himself?" Percy looked at the advanced magic text translator suspiciously, and borrowed it from Albert to read it.

  A moment later, Fred and George also had a thick family letter in front of them, and they were still chattering: "Mom got us wrong again."

   "What's the matter?" Albert noticed that Percy looked at him a little strangely, so he asked aloud.

   "You helped edit and annotate?" Percy was stunned when he turned the first page, because it said: Dedicate this book to Albert, thank him for his help with this book.

   Albert looked confused, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

   "This..." Percy pointed to the content on the first page. There was no doubt that Albert was referring to the Albert Anderson in front of him.

   "Yes." Albert nodded directly and admitted, "I did help to revise the content in "Advanced Magic Text Translation"."

  At this time, the attention of the students in the hall was attracted by the slender package held by six owls together.

   "Broomstick!" Fred pursed his lips and murmured softly.

  While the people around were still eager to know what was in the package, the people around Albert had already guessed the contents of the package.

  Before the owls knocked over the breakfast in front of him, Albert hurriedly got up to catch the slender package grabbed by the owls flying towards him.

   "Can I unpack it?" Lee Jordan stared at the slender package and asked Albert excitedly.

   "Okay." Albert agreed to let Lee Jordan open the package on the spot, and took out the broomstick inside the package.

   "Sweeping No. 6." George also leaned over to admire the flying broomstick of this sweeping series. This broom of sweeping No. 6 is more expensive than their sweeping No. 5, and it is also faster.

   "You actually bought a broomstick." Albert's roommates were surprised that Albert would actually buy a broomstick, because Albert hadn't participated in Quidditch training for a long time.

   "Fifty Galleons, not bad." Albert murmured softly.

   When he felt a line of sight cast towards him, Albert turned his head and looked in the direction of the line of sight. It was Isobel, the Ravenclaw girl who had just withdrawn her gaze from looking at herself.

  Since the last teaching of Occlumency, Albert and Isobel have maintained a friendly relationship. It's a bit like what was said in the previous life, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.

  Well, it’s really as plain as water.

  When we met in the club, we would occasionally chat for a few words. The biggest communication between the two is to write letters to each other, and the contents of the letters are all ancient runes.

  When Lee Jordan was introducing the superiority of sweeping six stars to other people next to him, he suddenly turned his head and asked, "Are you going to try the superiority of the new broom later?"

   "If you want to try it first, go out and play by yourself!" Albert didn't mind riding a new broom right away, especially when it was raining.

   "Then I will try this broom for you first!" Li Qiaodan said happily.

   "By the way, do you know where you can get a live mouse?" Albert asked suddenly when he took out his notebook and flipped through it.

  The mandrake's cry storage project has been successful, and it is still a baby cry, however, Albert is not sure whether the sound can kill a mouse.

  Actually, Albert hoped that Shela could catch a living mouse for him at the beginning, but what happened?

  Shela brought back a bunch of dead mice for him, forcing Albert to come out to stop the farce.

   Originally, Albert hoped to catch a few mice in Hogwarts for experiments, but unfortunately, he still couldn't find the mice after searching for a long time.

   "In the kitchen?" Lee Jordan said uncertainly.

   "Don't bother, Percy has a mouse as a pet." Fred looked at his brother maliciously.

   "What do you want a mouse for?" asked Percy, frowning.

   "Ah." Albert thought for a while, "I'm trying a magic experiment, the effect is actually similar to the stun spell, I want to use the mouse to try the effect first. But, I can't find the mouse for a while."

   "So you got my attention?" Percy frowned slightly.

   "Well, don't say that, Albert will definitely give the money." George reminded with a smile, "One Sickle, two Sickles?"

   "Three Sickles, no more." Fred patted his thigh vigorously and said suddenly, his action startled the others.

   "Anyway, your Scabbers isn't a pet mouse, so it wouldn't be a pity to die." When the twins mentioned this, Percy frowned slightly.

   You can't use people to try it!

  Although it is said that the crying of the Mandrake in its infancy can't kill people, Albert still doesn't want to face its power by himself. Finding a mouse to try is undoubtedly the best choice.

  After all, the majority of experimental mice are still contributing to mankind.

  Even if you really can’t find a white mouse, the house mouse is actually fine.

  Well, Ron's mouse seems to be his brother Percy's original pet. He remembered that the mouse seemed to be a wizard named Peter or something.

   I heard that the price of the Firebolt is 500 Galleons. Does any book friend know the specific situation.
