Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 917 Reasonable

Albert casually flipped through the notes in his hand, listened to the whistling snowstorm outside, raised his head and looked out the dark window, then glanced at the pocket watch next to him, it was clearly already seven o'clock in the morning, and it was still four o'clock in the morning outside It feels like five o'clock, and the snowstorm has been blowing all night.

  Tom heard the sound of turning the book, opened his eyes and looked at the only light source in the room, poked his head out of the warm cat nest, opened his mouth and yawned, then retracted again.

  It's really cold outside.

  This is the true portrayal of the vast majority of students, who lie in the warm blanket and don’t want to wake up. Fred, George and Lee Jordan are ready-made cases.

  The heater in the dormitory can't dispel the cold feeling around, and it's the coldest winter in Scotland.

Albert looked at the notes that had been messed up by himself, and sighed softly. It recorded his own plans for the future: building a safe house, forming a force to resist Voldemort, taking advantage of the trend to gain reputation and mission rewards, and even To gradually eliminate Voldemort. And a backup plan if Potter died in the confrontation with Voldemort. There is also a plan to infiltrate the Ministry of Magic and install his own people. Although Albert doesn't like politics, he still needs to have his own help in the Ministry of Magic. In fact, he is already doing it. Fred, George, and Lee Jordan are all part of the plan to build a profitable integrated company. At that time, he will also bring in Sirius and Lupine. As for the follow-up beauty products, they have also been arranged. Then there are marriage arrangements and life planning.

   Well, the last one is complete nonsense. Albert hasn't planned his life well at all, or he's actually already doing it.

This notebook was made by Albert from the year he came to Hogwarts to study. It has been several years. A few things that were unexpected, but generally smooth.

After supplementing the final backup plan for fleeing to England by sea ship, Albert repacked the notebook into the alchemy box given to him by Nicole Flamel, stretched lazily, and rubbed Tom with a smile. Under the bewildered eyes of the fat cat, he lay back in the bed and continued to sleep back in the cage.

   Sure enough, in winter like this, you should still sleep comfortably with your girlfriend in your arms.

   Not long after the warmth hit, Albert closed his eyes and fell asleep.

   When he opened his eyes again, he found that Fred, George and Lee Jordan had all woken up.

  The three of them were getting together, and they were discussing something. This group of bad guys got together to talk about something bad.

   "What are you talking about?" Albert asked, holding his yawn.

   "Have you forgotten?" Fred said excitedly, "We're going to Hogsmeade today."

   "I haven't forgotten."

   "We hope you can take us..." The three looked at each other, and finally George said, "Use Apparation to take us there."

"Aren't you afraid of accidents? I've never shown my followers before." Albert looked at the three of them speechlessly, and reminded him kindly: "If something happens, we will definitely be enchanted by magic at that time." The Ministry severely fined a large sum of Galleons."

   "We have confidence in you." Fred reached out and patted Albert on the shoulder and said. "Anyway, sooner or later, we plan to experience the feeling of Apparition in advance."

"Well, don't blame me if you run into trouble then." Albert covered his yawn and glanced at his skill panel. Apparition was already level three. Appearance raised to level four.

   Several people went downstairs to have breakfast, and after looking for Filch's signature in the foyer, they walked slowly towards the gate of the castle.

   "When are we going to take a stroll under the Black Lake?" Fred asked, looking at the still frozen Black Lake.

   "Are you crazy? If you go swimming at this time, you're really not afraid of being frozen to death in the lake?" Lee Jordan looked at Fred like a madman.

   "People shouldn't freeze to death." George pointed to the black lake and said, "Look over there..."

  The three of them looked in the direction of George's finger, and saw Viktor Krum appearing on the deck wearing only a pair of swimming trunks. He quickly climbed to the side of the ship, stretched his arms, and dived into the black lake with a plop.

   "Is he crazy?" Lee Jordan's eyes widened in shock.

"That's not the point, the point is that Krum seems to have uncovered the secret of the golden egg." George frowned and said, "I thought that without Karkaroff, Krum would not be able to figure out the secret of the golden egg." It's a secret."

   "I told him the secret of the golden egg." Albert said calmly, "However, it does take courage to jump directly like him, at least I can't do it."

"What?"

  The three of them all looked at Albert in astonishment, really unable to understand why Albert would tell Krum the secret of the golden egg.

   "If he doesn't say anything, he will probably encounter danger or even die in the black lake. Although Krum seems to be very good at swimming, it is impossible to successfully complete the second project without any preparation."

   "He died in the Black Lake, and it doesn't matter what happened to you!" Lee Jordan muttered, "Besides, I don't think he will die. At most, the second project failed."

   "I'll win anyway, so I should have some grace." Albert really didn't care.

  The three were speechless. After looking at each other, they put their arms around Albert's neck with a smile and said, "It's really you, probably you are the only one who can say such a thing."

   While the three were laughing and playing, Harry, Hermione, and Ron walked towards this side.

Harry and Ron looked at Albert with complicated expressions. They obviously heard what Albert said just now. They really couldn't understand how confident Albert had to do such a stupid thing. Hermione admired Albert very much, and most people really didn't have such courage.

   "I really don't understand why Albert would do this." Ron whispered to Harry and Hermione after staying away from Albert.

   "Maybe, he didn't regard us as opponents from the beginning!" Although Harry hated that feeling, he felt that this was probably the truth.

   "Albert is different from you." When Hermione turned her head to look back, she suddenly froze in place.

  Harry stopped in his tracks, looked suspiciously at Hermione who was standing there, and asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong, Hermione?"

   "They're… gone."

  Hermione looked at the empty snow field in surprise, Albert and his little friend disappeared without warning.

   "Maybe, they used magic to hide themselves."

Ron seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, and said through gritted teeth, "Fred and George are both good at using the Disillusionment Charm. I asked them to teach me before, but those two **** thought I was too stupid to learn it." .”

   "Perhaps, they found it troublesome to walk, so they just flew away on broomsticks." Harry said without thinking, "Isn't this very similar to what Anderson would do?"

  In a remote snow field near Hogsmeade village, four figures appeared out of nowhere accompanied by crackling sounds.

   "Ouch!"

  The three of them squatted down neatly and retched, obviously a sequela of using Apparation for the first time.

   "Are you all right?" Albert looked at the three unlucky guys with concern, and explained to them: "This feeling needs to be adapted slowly. It was like this at the beginning, but overall it is more comfortable than using a port key."

   "Uh, I hate this feeling, like being squeezed out of a rubber tube." After retching for a while, George breathed in the cold air, and reached out to take out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe away his tears and snot.

  Lee Jordan took a long time to recover, and muttered, "Apparition is terrible."

   "It's more comfortable than a portkey." Albert didn't like to travel with a portkey, that feeling was too bad.

   "You're right, but it's still very uncomfortable."

   "So, I have always thought that wizards are really magical creatures, and they can adapt to this feeling." Albert looked at Hogsmeade village not far away and asked, "Let's go, where are you going first?"

   "Are you not going to go on a date?" All three looked at Albert in surprise.

"Sirius has something to ask me. We made an appointment to meet at the Three Broomsticks. It's still early." Albert took out his pocket watch and looked at the time and said, "He seems to want to publish a big news in the "Defense Guide". I discuss this."

   "What big news?" Lee Jordan is very interested in gossip news.

"About how Peter Pettigrew escaped from Azkaban prison." Albert actually didn't intend to object to Sirius publishing this matter, but Lupine thought there were some things that needed to be discussed with him, in order to prove that they still I take Albert's opinion very seriously.

   "How did you escape?" Lee Jordan asked curiously.

"Fudge took money from Mrs. Peter and let her go to Azkaban to visit Peter Pettigrew, which caused Mrs. Peter to use compound medicine to help her son Peter escape from Azkaban." Albert said lightly Make this shocking news.

   "Sirius also believes that the Minister of Magic has connections with the Death Eaters, and even has some private transactions." Albert continued.

   "It's really big news." Fred murmured.

   "The Minister of Magic really has a connection with the Death Eaters?" Lee Jordan couldn't help asking. He felt that this kind of thing was fake. Lee Jordan knew something about the situation of Death Eaters, even if he didn't know much about it.

"Fudge has a good relationship with Malfoy, and Lucius Malfoy is a Death Eater, you say they have no contact? Do you really think Fudge doesn't know that Lucius Malfoy is a Death Eater? No, he does, But as long as Malfoy is not caught, he can pretend not to know. Besides, Peter was released by Fudge by accident, so it’s hard to say whether it was an accident or not.” George sneered, he didn’t like Fudge very much, he His father, Arthur, has worked in the Ministry of Magic for many years, but his inability to get promoted and raise his salary has something to do with Fudge. It is because Arthur likes Muggles and is considered to lack the dignity that wizards should have.

   "You can't talk about this kind of thing, at least you can't report it indiscriminately, otherwise there will definitely be problems." Lee Jordan frowned and reminded.

   "No, this is actually the truth." Albert glanced at Lee Jordan and continued, "So, I actually don't intend to stop Sirius from doing this."

   "I don't think this is a good idea. The Defense Guide is likely to be found fault by the Ministry of Magic and shut down." Lee Jordan didn't think Albert really didn't know these things.

   "Just seal it, anyway, the "Defense Guide" may not be published this year." Albert didn't mind at all.

   Well, in fact, Sirius dared to mention this matter so boldly, more because Albert once hinted to Sirius that this year's "Defense Guide" may encounter some troubles, and may not be published smoothly.

   Sirius believed this, and was ready to expose this matter.

"Tell me, can we let Sirius report Bagman's affairs and discredit Ludo Bagman, the director of the Department of Magical Sports." Fred's stomach began to rise badly, hoping to see Bagman Bad luck again for German.

   "You can write to Rita Skeeter anonymously. That woman is better at reporting this kind of news. I think she will be happy to report this matter." Albert suggested.

   "Honestly, we hate that woman."

  Fred, George, and Lee Jordan didn't want to deal with Rita Skeeter very much. "That woman is very good at distorting the truth. God knows how she will report this after we anonymously report it."

   "How did you shut up Rita Skeeter." George asked Albert curiously.

"Use this..." Albert raised his wand and said, "Rita Skeeter is a bully after all. When dealing with a person like her, you can't reason with him, but you should talk to her about fists." , as long as your fist is hard enough, she will be very willing to take the initiative to reason with you, and when the time comes, as long as you use a little coercion, the other party will not dare to make trouble."

   "I like your approach. Since it doesn't make sense to reason, just talk about fists, and the other party will be willing to reason with you." All three of them felt that what Albert said was too reasonable.

"Rita Skeeter has a degree in her heart and knows who can be messed with and who can't be messed with. That's why the woman can report those offending news so recklessly, because others hold her at the legal level of the Ministry of Magic. Way." Albert sneered, "So as long as she understands that I can't be provoked, and that I may die violently one day if provoked, Rita Skeeter will not dare to report my news at will. At least, after I die Before, she wouldn't have dared to do that, and she'd obviously die before me."

   "To deal with that kind of person, you really shouldn't use normal methods."

   All three of them felt that what Albert said was very reasonable and useful. At least so far, Rita Skeeter did not dare to continue to report the news about Albert indiscriminately.

  After some discussion, the four decided to tell Rita Skeeter that Ludo Bagman owed a huge debt, and use the other party's hand to discredit Ludo Bagman.
