Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 419 Compromise and Conspiracy

   "So, have they compromised?"

  When Fred told Albert the good news, he was indeed a little surprised. He originally thought that the group of Slytherin diehards would grit their teeth and persist for a while.

"One of them came to us and said that they were willing to pay back the Galleons they owed, but they were unwilling to pay back the four times the odds, they were only willing to give half." George added: "That group of people think the four times the odds are too much. Too much."

   Albert was silent for a moment, and said to Fred: "You ask other people's opinions to see if they are willing. If not, then reject them directly."

   "Are you ready to agree?" Lee Jordan ate the multi-flavored beans he bought from the Honeydukes candy store last time, and looked at Albert in surprise. "I think those Slytherin guys have bad intentions."

"I know."

   "Since you know, why do you still..."

Albert raised his hand to interrupt Lee Jordan, and calmly expressed his guess, "Maybe, they just want to break up this debt collection team. After all, after they pay back the money, they are going to settle accounts with us one by one. The other party has suffered a lot, saying that they don’t want to seek revenge from us, I’m afraid it’s a lie.”

"Then what should we do? If we refuse, forget it. We can get back the four times the bet slowly." Fred was a little anxious. He didn't want to disband the debt collection team. With this group of people, they would not be afraid. Those **** of Slytherin.

   "No, let them choose for themselves." Albert shook his head and said, "Even if we don't agree, others will definitely agree. Why bother to be that annoying villain?"

  The three of them were silent. They knew what Albert meant. The purpose of forming this debt collection team was to get back their own money. It was a bit unreasonable to refuse.

   "Give them the right to choose, let them suffer a bit, and then you have to be careful."

   "A little bit of a loss?" Fred frowned, "Are you going to watch them die?"

   "Isn't your statement too exaggerated? Just tell them my analysis." Albert really didn't care what happened to those people. Anyway, after the task was completed and the reward was received, he didn't care what happened to the others.

"All right."

   "Then I'll leave it to you."

  Albert continued to study the research report on the tracking spell in his hand.

  If Tom's diary cannot be arranged next year, Albert plans to stay away from Ginny Weasley, so as not to be taken away by a wave of basilisks accidentally.

It didn't take much time for the two parties to reach an agreement. Fred took the remaining Galleons to Albert, and the wizards who had joined the debt collection team also got their money back. Although it was only half of the winnings from gambling, this It was over, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

  As for other students who are still owed debts, naturally they have nothing to do with them.

  …

  Christmas holiday is approaching, Albert packed his luggage and went downstairs with Lee Jordan.

   “I really feel sorry for those people.”

  When the two passed the hall, they heard a blond boy saying to his companion: "They have to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas because the family doesn't want them."

  When Malfoy said this, his eyes had been fixed on Harry Potter, and there was an undisguised sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

  Fred, who was helping Albert carry the cat cage, frowned slightly, and George had an even more disgusted expression on his face, as if he saw something dirty.

   "Congratulations Potter, you have another supporter."

When Albert passed by Harry Potter, he stopped and put his arms around Harry's shoulders, motioning him to look in Malfoy's direction, "Get along well with him, he is your loyal supporter, in order to attract you Concentration, he has taken great pains."

  Ron, who was standing next to Harry, couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard Albert's words.

   "Is there anything funny?" Albert looked at Ron, who immediately suppressed himself from laughing.

"No."

   "You guys have to get along with your new friends."

   Albert glanced at Malfoy, who was blushing, took the cat cage, and walked towards the carriage parked outside the castle, leaving behind the laughing and furious Malfoy.

   "I bet you did it on purpose." Lee Jordan kept laughing on the way to the station.

   "Isn't it? I see that Mr. Malfoy has been scurrying up and down, obviously to get Potter's attention." Albert scratched Tom's chin with his hand, talking nonsense solemnly

  : "Isn't it because he's a fan of Harry Potter, trying to get his attention?"

   "What you said is too reasonable." Lee Jordan laughed even harder.

  After getting in the car, Tom occupied the table and slapped his tail on the table, as if he was urging Albert to take out the dried fish quickly.

  As for Albert's Sheila, when she delivered a letter to her home a few days ago, she stayed directly, so that the two pets would not like to fight when they met.

The two had just played two sets of wizard cards when someone knocked on the door next door. Standing outside the door was an old acquaintance of the two, Kenneth Toller. This guy's face was gloomy, as if something bad had happened. things.

   "Is there anything?" Lee Jordan asked while shuffling the cards.

   "Flint wants to pick my underwear." Kenneth Toller's face was ugly.

   "It's not difficult to guess." Albert said calmly, "After all, if you paid someone to take off his pants, it's not difficult for him to ask for your underwear."

   "Then what should I do!" Kenneth Toller was very worried. It was impossible for him to prevent himself from being attacked by Flint all the time.

"It depends on what you are going to do." Albert raised his head and glanced at Kenneth Toller, and said with a smile: "You can go to reconcile with him, return the pair of pants to him, and give him a pair of yours by the way." Underpants."

"You are joking!"

  Kenneth Toller stared at Albert dumbfounded, and Lee Jordan next to him couldn't straighten up with laughter.

  In the end, Kenneth Toller failed to get a better solution from Albert, and left with a face full of disappointment.

   "If it were you, what would you do?" Lee Jordan asked curiously.

"Use the Forgetting Curse on Flint to make him forget this unpleasant memory. Of course, this is not an easy task." When Albert played the first card, he explained: "How long does the Forgetting Curse use?" It will also have a bad influence on people, and in serious cases, it may even make people become idiots who don’t understand anything.”

   "It would be great if they could be turned into idiots!" Lee Jordan sighed, looked at the situation on the field, and asked puzzledly: "Haven't you touched the wizard card for a long time? Why are you still so powerful?"

   "After all, I invented the game, so I know how to play it better than you." After Albert won another round easily, Lee Jordan didn't plan to continue playing.

   "I feel that the wizard card still has a long way to go." He sighed when putting away the wizard card, "Maybe, we can consider adding some other effects to the wizard card."

   "Everything you think will be available."

   "Really?" Lee Jordan asked happily.

   "Really, the wizard card has a long way to go."

   "That's really cool, if I can help then, remember to let me know."

   "Yes, you can definitely help." Albert said while giving Tom a small dried fish.

   "Having a cat seems like a good idea."

   "You don't have the talent to keep pets."

Li Jordan sighed. His marsupial spider died a long time ago, and he forcefully raised it to death. The corpse was made into a specimen by Fred and George, and it seemed that it was going to be given to Ron for this year's christmas gift.
