Study Days at Hogwarts

Rain pattered against the window glass.

Fred opened the curtains and looked out the window, feeling that his mood was as unattractive as the weather outside.

Since facing the pressure of the O.W.Ls exam, everyone's life has not been easy... Well, that bastard Albert is a special case. Regardless of whether he needs to take an exam or not, that guy has always had a good life.

Unlike them, who not only have a lot of homework to finish every day, but also need to take a lot of time to practice magic.

well!

The gap between people is really wider than the gap between people and dogs.

Fred felt that Albert's words always made sense.

hateful!

He had to concentrate and finish the homework on his desk before going to bed.

I really don’t want to do my homework!

"What's this?"

Fred looked away from the window, stared at the parchment on the table for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Safe house."

"Safe house, what is that?"

George also came over and looked at the parchment with Fred. They could understand the floor plan of the house and the spells marked on it, but they were still confused.

"You can think of it as a safe hiding place." Albert lowered his voice and said, "I'm looking for more ways to better hide a house, like the one on the eighth floor, so that people can't find it. It’s impossible to reach its location, but it’s not easy. Once the specific location is known, wizards have many ways to find it.”

"Honesty detector, or black magic detector?" George asked without thinking.

"Yes, so the most important thing for a place like this is to be hidden. Then, use a spell to make it impossible to track and mark it on the map. No tracking spell, including owls, can find its specific location. There are still people around it. There needs to be strong magical protection to ensure that the wizard who enters needs to use a special method to enter. As long as you hide inside, you don't have to worry about being found by the enemy."

"Well, it's the so-called secret base, right?"

The two came to this conclusion with limited thinking.

In fact, the Gryffindor Chamber of Secrets they went to last time was just such a place.

"I think with your approach and a safe place to poop, you don't have to worry about being found by others." Fred felt that Albert just thought too much.

yes!

As long as they are not exposed, no one will go to a quiet place to find some secret base.

"You will find later that this is still not safe enough."

Since the basilisk crisis was over, Albert began to prepare for the Second Wizarding War.

He never expected to nip Voldemort right in the cradle.

There will definitely be resurrection again.

When the time comes, just find a safe place to lie down and wait to reap the benefits.

Albert will definitely participate in next year's Triwizard Tournament. He is sure that the rewards for the missions in the Triwizard Tournament will be very rich. It is impossible to give up, and there is no danger during the period.

Crouch Jr. disguised as Mad-Eye?

Albert is not worried at all, he has plenty of ways to arrange for Little Crouch.

As for the resurrection of Voldemort, Albert is even less worried. As the final boss, even without the help of Peter Pettigrew and Barty Crouch Jr., Voldemort can definitely transform into a noseless monster and emerge from the boiling cauldron. Climb out.

This is Albert's confidence in the big boss.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering if the golden cauldron in the Magic School Potions Championship is gold-plated." Albert muttered quietly, "I don't know if there is a bonus for winning the championship."

"I think it should probably be gold-plated." George said uncertainly, "This kind of award is usually very stingy, just give it a title."

"Was your last International Wizarding Chess Championship trophy gold-plated?" Fred asked curiously.

"I'm sure it is, otherwise Albert wouldn't complain about whether the golden crucible is gold-plated." George couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "As long as the bonus is given, the trophy must be gold-plated."

Albert's eyes twitched. He just said it casually, and the two of them kept talking. Is this an excuse for why he doesn't want to do his homework?

Just as Fred and George were complaining about how many of the prizes in the prize room were not gold-plated, Lee Jordan finally came down from upstairs.

"What were you doing in the dormitory? Did it take you so long to find a book?"

"No, you'd better go back to the dormitory and have a look. Didn't Albert say he didn't receive a birthday gift this morning? Who knows who sent those gifts to the room." Li Jordan motioned for the three of them to go back to the dormitory.

The three of them looked at each other, packed up their homework, and hurried back to the dormitory.

"Wow, this amount is really amazing! Others don't know it, and they think you celebrated Christmas early." Fred just opened the door and saw the pile of gifts on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't be stupid, there are still several months before the Christmas holiday." Albert was also a little surprised. He never thought that he would receive a bunch of birthday gifts.

He picked up the package casually, looked at the sender, and found that it was a gift from an old friend.

Since having a house elf, Albert has asked the house elf to give some Christmas gifts such as wool socks, wool gloves or wool hats to his older friends every year. He knows that the elderly are actually not short of things, but The meaning of giving these woolen products is obviously more flattering.

Of course, many of the packages inside are gifts from friends at school.

"You have so many friends."

Fred and George looked at each other and asked expectantly, "Do you want us to help you unpack the package?"

"Test it with the honesty detector for me." Albert pointed to his drawer, "Check it first before opening the package."

"You are really cautious." Fred muttered, opening the drawer and finding the metal rod inside.

"I bet half of this is books." George took the honesty detector and began to detect whether the package was enchanted or contained magic items.

In fact, what George said is right. Most people like to give books to Albert. They all know that Albert likes to read books. Obviously there is nothing more suitable than giving this thing, and the price is not expensive and it is very stylish. Still high.

After a while, the table was piled with books.

"I think you'll be able to open your own library in a few years." Li Jordan looked at the pile of books and couldn't suppress his desire to complain.

"I think so too. The total number of books I have received before adds up to a bookshelf." Albert took out a small box from his suitcase and opened it to reveal a miniature bookcase with densely packed books on it. .

In fact, after George learned that Albert was going to participate in the Potions Championship, he also gave him a copy of "The Witch's Potion".

Fred's gift was a small box of magical candies, all of which they had made themselves, with a note on which ones had not yet been tested.

Lee Jordan's gift was indeed a large box of Bibi's All-Flavour Beans.

Then, the guy unceremoniously opened the box of Bibi's multi-flavor beans and shared them with the three of them.

Hermione's gift was a beautiful quill.

Isobel's is a gray scarf with no pattern. It is quite delicate, but a bit short. She must have knitted it herself.

Katrina actually sent a copy of "Alchemy, Ancient Art and Science" and said in the letter that it was a gift in return for the hat. She was a very arrogant girl.

What surprised Albert the most was the gift from the United States. Kathleen seemed to know that he planned to participate in the Potion Championship and sent him a potion book called "Potion".

As for the gift from Daisy and Herb, which was a brick-thick foreign dictionary, well, it was the language Daisy and Herb were learning recently, and it was said that it took a lot of effort to get it.

Daisy also mentioned in the letter that Herb planned to visit the colony.

Not many relatives are willing to join, and most people have no confidence in cross-border investment. What's more, in a few years, the country will lose control of the colonies. God knows whether they will be beaten and retaliated by colonial thugs. Almost no one is willing. Taking risks, except for Uncle Charlie, he heard Daisy say that it was Albert's suggestion. After thinking about it carefully, he thought it made sense, so he put some pounds into it to show his support for Daisy.

After all, Charlie’s current achievements are inseparable from Albert’s advice. Moreover, he also felt that Albert was very promising and had a vicious vision. He would definitely not lose money. Otherwise, how could he possibly convince Herb to fly halfway around the world to inspect the colonies without going crazy?

"Do you believe it?" Albert couldn't help but sigh at the power of money.

Next, it should be okay for the family to leave England temporarily and live in the colonies for a while.
