Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 32 Albert's tricks

  The weather on Sunday was not very good, and it was still raining outside the castle.

  At seven o'clock in the morning, it was dawn, and Albert, who had just washed his hands, yawned, and was carried by the excited roommates to the auditorium for dinner.

   "I really don't understand, what's so exciting about this?" Albert broke free from the twins' hands and straightened his robe.

   "That's Hogsmeade Village, the most fun place in England." Lee Jordan said exaggeratedly.

   "All of Britain?" Albert sighed softly, he felt that his thinking was not on the same channel as the three people next to him.

  On the way to the castle hall, the twins practice the Luminous Charm as they walk. Unfortunately, however, Filch ran into him.

   Then, the unlucky George was caught by Filch and taken to the administrator's office.

  Filch happily took out a large roll of parchment from the desk drawer, spread it in front of him, then picked up a long black quill, and dipped it into the inkwell:

  Name…George Weasley.

  Crime... indiscriminate use of spells in the hallway

   Proposal... Penalty Proposal...

   "Ahem, I only use the glow spell because my vision is dim. You know, it's still very early, in the corridor..." George opened his eyes and said nonsense, the corridor he just passed was lit with torches.

   "...washing the chamber pot for the school hospital." Filch glanced at George, with a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth, "It just so happens that the chamber pot in the school hospital hasn't been washed all summer."

  George's expression froze.

   "You can go now, I'd better not let me see you using magic in the corridor." Filch smiled triumphantly, and drove George out of the administrator's office.

"Pfft!" Albert couldn't help laughing after listening to George's words. He stretched out his hand and patted George's shoulder, comforting him: "Don't worry, I can teach you a very simple descaling spell, clean the chamber pot or something Yes, it will be resolved soon. Besides, Filch only has punishment suggestions, in fact, he can't directly punish you."

   "That guy is really annoying." George glanced at the door of Filch's office, looking in a very bad mood, no one wanted to wash the chamber pot.

   "Don't be depressed, I'll treat you to a glass of butterbeer later." Albert couldn't help laughing again, and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, tell me what you saw in Filch's office just now?"

"See what? There are a lot of drawers in there, and there are things like handcuffs and shackles hanging on the wall behind the desk." George complained after thinking about it carefully, "That old guy, no, the old pervert must have some quirks. "

  Actually, Albert felt that the "old idiot" that Hagrid took might be more suitable for Filch. After all, as a squib, he was really as useless as an idiot in Hogwarts.

  Ordinary people should stay in the world of ordinary people and enjoy the happiness of ordinary people.

  However, he didn't say this idea, after all, it's not very good to give someone such an insulting nickname.

   "What else?" Albert asked again, "He must have confiscated a lot of things!"

   "Yes, I did see a filing cabinet drawer that read: Confiscated Supplies, Highly Dangerous."

   "I guess all the items he confiscated are in there." Fred's eyes lit up, and he seemed interested in the contents of the drawer.

   "If it was really highly dangerous, it wouldn't be placed in that kind of place." Albert remembered a good thing, the Marauder's Map of Hogwarts, which should be placed there.

   "Yes, we think so too." The twins looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

   "Don't you think... don't get caught." Albert warned, "Otherwise, you will definitely be in trouble."

  The twins Qiqi protested: "You are slandering, how could we do such a thing?"

British breakfast is always the richest. Albert made himself a bowl of oatmeal with milk, and put a fried egg, two slices of bacon, two slices of bread, a sausage and a small vegetable salad on the plate .

   "Hi, good morning!" a boy greets the twins as they pass by.

   "I remember you seem to belong to Hufflepuff..." Lee Jordan couldn't call out the boy's name for a while, and looked at Albert for help.

   "Cedric Diggory," the boy introduced himself.

   "Hi Cedric." The twins greeted their neighbors, "I didn't expect you to be in Hufflepuff."

   "I don't think Hufflepuffs are bad." Cedric doesn't like people saying bad things about Hufflepuffs.

   "We didn't say he was bad."

   "Just Gryffindor is better."

  The Weasley twins each said a sentence.

   "Long time no see, Albert." Another person came over and greeted Albert, "I didn't expect you to enter Gryffindor. I was really shocked."

   "Long time no see, Gabriel." Albert greeted his pen pal with a smile.

   "You guys know each other." Cedric Diggory asked suspiciously. He had a pretty good relationship with his senior.

   "Of course we know each other. We met during summer vacation." Gabriel showed a mysterious smile to Digory, "The one I mentioned to you..."

   Cedric Diggory looked at Albert with very surprised eyes. He had heard Gabriel mention that incident himself, but he never mentioned the man's name.

  After Gabriel walked away, the twins looked at each other and said in unison: "Could it be..."

   "What is it?" Li Qiaodan has not yet reacted.

  The twins looked at each other and said, "That thing!"

   "Which thing?" The guy still didn't respond.

   "Ahem, it's good to know, remember to keep it secret!" Albert coughed lightly, otherwise he won't give you a Christmas present this winter vacation.

   "We will keep it secret." The twins said meaningfully, stretching out their index fingers and crossing them around their mouths, indicating that they will keep it strictly confidential.

   "Hey, don't exclude me, you three bastards." Li Qiaodan was very upset, feeling that he was excluded from this small circle.

   "Ahem, newspaper, remember what we talked about on the train when we came to Hogwarts?" Fred reminded.

   "50 Galleons." George reminded.

   "Wow, that thing!" Li Qiaodan immediately understood what was going on, "How did you do it..."

   "I don't want the whole school to know about this." Albert put a finger next to his mouth, telling the three to shut up.

   "Okay, but you are amazing!" The Weasley brothers still admire Albert's methods, if only they could easily earn 25 Galleons.

   "No wonder you are willing to gamble all the Galleons you get." Lee Jordan said sourly.

   "It's not necessarily a loss." Albert curled his lips and said foolishly, "Do you know why wands made of red cedar are popular with wizards?"

   "Can bring luck?" George said uncertainly.

   "Yes." Albert continued to fool around, "At that time, I had a hunch that I might make a lot of money if I gambled, so I gambled."
