Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 686 is confinement

  The next morning, Albert opened his eyes, sat up suddenly from the bed, and gasped for breath.

  He just had a nightmare.

  Dreamed that on the night of his wedding, Katrina became the bride and almost smothered him to death with her chest.

"No...don't wake me up in that way again, do you know!" Albert looked at the culprit who caused his nightmares, reached out and hugged Tom in front of him, and said every word to the cat's face Say, "Go run the wheel yourself, it's time for you to lose weight."

Meow!

  After Tom was put down, he squatted beside the bed, scratched his ears with his paws, and stared straight at Albert with his cute eyes.

   "It doesn't work to be cute, give me a good exercise, you are almost too fat to walk. Don't try to be lazy, I will let the house elf watch you."

   Albert got off the bed, quickly got dressed, and opened the window, a gust of cold wind came in from outside.

  The rain stopped last night, but the sky was still gray, and a cold fog shrouded Hogwarts Castle.

  The fog must have been formed by the activity of the dementors.

  It seems that it will be difficult to see the sun again in the next period of time.

"Morning~ You woke up really early today. Oh, hell, can you close the window first." Fred got up from the bed, stretched lazily, and was frozen by the cold wind blowing in from the window , and retracted into the bed again.

"Feel sorry."

  Albert closed the window with a smile, and began to tidy up the dormitory, preparing a spacious activity room for Tom by the way.

   "The space inside is really huge. You can already expand such a stable space with the Untraceable Stretch Curse?" George walked to the cat nest, looked at the enlarged cat cage, and exclaimed.

  The space inside the cat cage is actually larger than the dormitory in their room, and Albert also prepared all kinds of toys.

   "In the future, we don't need to bring tents on vacation." Fred joked.

"It's okay, I hope to use the traceless stretching spell to open up a wide and stable space, so that we can grow the raw materials we need in it in the future, and have a comfortable workshop to make those joke props." Ai Bo Te smiled and described to them the effect of the traceless stretching spell.

   "It's interesting to think that as long as you open the cabinet, there will be a workshop inside." Fred agrees with Albert's point of view. The capacity of a store is limited after all.

  George reminded: "The Ministry of Magic prohibits wizards from abusing the Untraceable Stretching Charm."

   "As long as it is not discovered, the Ministry of Magic will not come to make trouble." Lee Jordan said disapprovingly.

   "If you want to open a store in the future, raw materials will also be a big problem. Many things are grown and cultivated by yourself, which is more cost-effective than buying them with money." Fred agrees with Albert's point of view, "So you still use the weather spell?"

   "Last time I went to France to learn from others." After Albert prepared breakfast for Tom, he locked him in this special cat cage.

   "In this way, we don't need to spend a lot of money to rent those expensive shops when we open a store in Diagon Alley." Lee Jordan thought it was very economical to do so.

"Believe me, we will graduate from Hogwarts in three years, and we will definitely not be short of money." Albert is not worried about money, "But there is one thing that we really need to worry about, we can't put those things in the store , Once the joke item shop becomes popular, people will definitely be targeted, so we need to withstand the investigation of the Ministry of Magic."

   "You are still as cautious as ever."

   "I think it would be nice to have a secret base."

  The three of them thought of Gryffindor's secret base located deep in the Forbidden Forest. That place is very secretive, and there are many traps, which is very suitable for a secret base.

   When the four of them came to the auditorium for dinner, there was no one in the hall. Professor McGonagall walked over with a stack of papers and handed over the schedules of each age group to Albert.

   "By the way, Anderson, come here, I have something to tell you." Professor McGonagall said to Albert.

   "You guys send me the timetable, don't make any mistakes."

  Albert handed the schedules of each grade to Fred, George, and Lee Jordan, and walked with Professor McGonagall to a corner of the hall where no one was there.

   "Professor McGonagall, what's the matter?" Albert asked directly.

   "Anderson, do you know about the Magic School Potions Tournament?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"I know something, the author of "Book of Potions", Sigismund Batch, is said to be because the headmaster of Hogwarts didn't let him participate in this so-called magic school potion tournament, and he finally left Hogwarts angrily. He dropped out of Cici School." Albert had already guessed what Professor McGonagall wanted to say.

  His words choked Professor McGonagall.

  Sigismund Budge is undoubtedly a potion genius, as evidenced by his "Book of Potions".

  Back then, the headmaster who refused to let him participate in the Potions Tournament in the name of a minor now seems to have become a "bad guy".

   This can be regarded as one of the dark history of Hogwarts.

   "This year, the magic school potion tournament is going to be held in the magic garden." Professor McGonagall coughed lightly, and continued: "Someone recommended you to participate in the competition."

   "I shouldn't be old enough!" Albert reminded.

   "There is no rule that minors cannot participate in the competition." Professor McGonagall suddenly felt a little embarrassed when talking about this, because Zigmunt Bach was rejected by the principal in the name of "underage".

   "Isobel should also be very good in the potion field?" Albert asked again.

"Miss McDougal will also go together. There is no requirement for how many people to participate, but there will be an assessment, and the contestants will be deleted." Professor McGonagall explained: "Starting from the weekend, Professor Snape will give you extra lessons .”

   "Can I change it?" Albert muttered softly.

   Asking Snape to give him extra lessons is undoubtedly suffering.

  No way, because of Lupine's relationship, Snape might not be in a good mood. Isn't it fun to go to him to make up lessons at this time?

   "What?" Professor McGonagall raised his eyebrows slightly.

   "When does the Potions Tournament start?" Albert immediately changed the topic.

   "Early November." Professor McGonagall looked at Albert and said, "Professor Snape is an expert in the field of potions."

   "I know he is an expert." Albert said without hesitation, "But I don't want to touch him, I can see that he has been in a bad mood recently."

  Professor McGonagall opened his mouth, never expecting Albert to say this so bluntly.

"Professor Snape has been teaching Potions for several years. When teaching you knowledge, you will not be affected by emotions." Professor McGonagall can only comfort Albert in this way, "Also, we can't find other The Potions Master is here to teach you about potions."

   "Come on, no one in Hogwarts has won the golden cauldron for a long time, I believe you can do it." Professor McGonagall hurriedly interrupted Albert, lest he heard any shocking words.

   Watching the back of Professor McGonagall leaving in a hurry, Albert couldn't help curling his lips.

  After seeing Albert come back, the gossip Lee Jordan asked impatiently, "What does Professor McGonagall want from you?"

"It was said that the Magic Garden will hold the Magic School Potions Championship this year." Albert lowered his voice, "She asked me to represent the school in the competition, and then said that I should go to Snape's for tutoring on this during the weekend break." Knowledge."

   "Oh, God, why not go to Snape's confinement for the weekend?" Both Fred and George had miserable expressions on their faces.

   "It's tutoring." Albert said stubbornly.

   "That's confinement." Lee Jordan complained: "There is not much difference between the two."

   "I don't think it's difficult to win the championship with your strength." George was very confident in his little friend, "By the way, when will you leave school?"

"November."

   "Speaking of which, the old bat actually recommends you to participate in the competition. I always feel that he is uneasy and kind." Fred complained.

   "I don't think so." Albert shook his head.

   "Is there no one else from the school competing?"

  Fred felt that there should be no shortage of senior students in the school who are good at potions. Maybe they are not as good as Albert, but they also have other advantages.

   Suddenly there was a burst of laughter from the Slytherin table next door.

"New third grade timetable." When George was handing out the timetable to Harry, he happened to see Malfoy pretending to faint again, his expression not changing much, "That little idiot, when the dementors were inspecting the train compartment, She was so frightened that she ran to our compartment."

   "He almost **** himself," Fred said contemptuously.

   "Dementors are more terrifying than you think, but if you want to overcome those monsters, you can try to learn the Patronus Charm, although the **** spell is difficult to master."

   "The Patronus Charm? What's that?" Hermione looked away from the timetable and asked, "Professor Lupine's spell to drive away the dementors?"

"Yes, only the patron saint can drive away the dementors, but the patron saint spell is a very profound spell, which is very difficult to learn. We have been learning it for a long time, but we have not been able to master that spell. However, Albert played this spell out Lots of tricks."

"I'm busy."

   Albert, who was studying fried tomatoes, blocked what Harry wanted to say.

  To be honest, he really didn't understand why the tomatoes should be fried.

   What the hell.

   "Yes, Albert is not free, he has other things to do next, Harry, you may consider looking for Albert after he is finished." George reminded.

"You can teach him spells first, or Potter, you can go directly to our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, I think he should be willing to teach you, I have always done this before." Albert did not intend to waste time on Potter .

  Harry said it was a lie not to be disappointed, and was considering the possibility of asking Professor Lupine for the Patronus Charm.

  Ron pointed to Hermione's class schedule and said, "There is a problem with your class schedule."

   "I'll figure it out."

   "But you can't take three classes at the same time, can you?"

  Hermione put away the timetable and interrupted Ron directly, "I've already discussed everything with Professor McGonagall, there will be no problem at all."

"She probably knows the clone spell, just like Albert." George looked at his silly brother, shook his head and said, "It is said that it is a secret that only all subjects can know, my silly brother, there are some secrets, you shouldn't ask Yes, even if you ask, they won't tell you easily."

   "I'm not stupid at all." Ron said annoyed, he knew Hermione had something to hide from him and Harry.
