Study Days at Hogwarts

After successfully sending Yanila away, Albert was ready to get out of the way while the other girls came over. However, sometimes things didn't go as planned. He was blocked by the girls blocking him at the entrance of the auditorium.

"You wouldn't mind dancing with us," Angelina said.

"One for each person," Alia added.

"Why are you here?" Albert asked as he looked at the three of them in surprise.

"Fred and George said you would definitely leave early." Shanna blinked and looked at him expectantly.

"Okay, one for each person. Remember to help me later. I've been dancing all day." In the end, Albert didn't refuse and held out his hand to Shanna, making an invitation gesture.

Shanna put her hand on her. She actually knew that Albert didn't want to dance anymore, but if such an opportunity was missed, he might not get it again in the future.

"You didn't find a dance partner?" Albert asked doubtfully.

"I haven't found a suitable dance partner." Shanna said with a smile, "Besides, I'm not used to participating in such a venue."

Albert didn't ask any more questions, and skillfully led Shanna around in circles on the dance floor. When the song ended, Shanna just said a gentle thank you and gave up her position as a dance partner.

"You all danced great."

Angelina stepped forward to take Shanna's place. She danced even more wildly and unrestrainedly, forcing Albert to adjust his rhythm.

"You dance much better than Fred. He can't keep up with my rhythm." Angelina didn't mind being taken away from the initiative at all. She was in a good mood. Now she just wanted to enjoy this short time. She knew that there must be countless girls looking at her with envy.

Angelina's replacement was Aaliyah, whose dancing could only be considered quite satisfactory. When Albert finished dancing and was about to step aside, he found someone else standing in front of him.

"You won't refuse, right?" Fleur took the lead in extending her hand to Albert.

Albert: "...Of course."

How could he refuse?

Fleur's dance was beautiful, and her dancing skills were not inferior to Yanila's, but this guy was a swindler. After the dance, he didn't help Albert escape, and just threw him to the group of girls.

Albert, who was surrounded by girls, was helpless. He suddenly remembered that he had seen Hermione just now, so he used the excuse that he had invited other girls to get through the crowd and ran over to invite Hermione to dance. Krum's expression was quite expressive. Wonderful, Hermione didn't refuse, she obviously discovered Albert's situation.

Looking at the resentful looks of the girls around her, Hermione smiled and said to Albert, "It seems that you are in trouble."

"Yeah, I'm in some trouble. Remember to help me after the dance." Albert said helplessly.

"It seems that it's not good to be too popular." Hermione couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, there is some trouble." Albert said helplessly, "Sometimes they are not rational. Forget it, I will ask Krum to help me get out later."

In the end, Albert did not let Hermione help attract firepower, and Krum was obviously a more suitable candidate.

"Looking for Krum?"

"The secret of the golden egg, I think he still doesn't know the secret of the golden egg." Albert said calmly.

"Are you going to tell Krum?" Hermione was very surprised.

"Karkaroff ran away. It is estimated that no one told Krum the secret of the golden egg." Albert saw Hermione's surprised expression and said calmly, "You don't need to be surprised. The Triwizard Tournament has happened throughout the ages. Sooner or later, other warriors will know about cheating cases. Don't think too highly of others, Hermione. Cheating is normal in school competitions. Even in international competitions, this kind of thing happens often. As long as it is not discovered, it will be fine. There’s no problem, that’s the underlying rule.”

"But you just figured out the secret of the golden egg yourself." Hermione said with a raised eyebrow.

"It seems you have overlooked one thing." Albert did not continue the topic and suddenly asked, "Have you told Potter about the golden egg?"

"Not yet..." Hermione said after a moment's hesitation.

"Tell him, I don't care." Albert said confidently, "Honestly, it's not that difficult for me to win the Triwizard Tournament."

"I will." Hermione suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She had actually been hesitating whether to tell Harry.

"By the way, thank you for the Christmas gift. Did you knit it yourself?"

"Well, I just learned." Hermione said with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"For a novice, you are already knitting very well." Albert comforted.

The song came to the end, and after Albert completed the last move, he left the stage with Hermione.

As soon as they left the scene, other girls came over, looking eager to try.

"Sorry." Albert declined and led Hermione towards Krum's position.

The Durmstrang warrior's face was a little gloomy, and he seemed to be still unhappy about having his dance partner taken away.

Of course, it's possible that Krum has always been like this.

"You don't mind going out with me for a walk, I have something to tell you." Albert said calmly.

"What's the matter?" Krum asked gloomily.

"You will definitely care about it." Albert smiled and motioned for him to follow.

"Go ahead," Hermione reminded.

Krum hesitated for a moment, and finally followed Albert out of the ball at Hermione's urging.

Krum looked at Albert who took out a piece of parchment in confusion, not knowing what he wanted to say.

"Put the golden egg into the water and you will find its secret." Albert said to Krum after making sure no one was eavesdropping.

"Why tell me?" Krum looked at Albert in confusion. He really didn't expect that the other party would tell him the secret of the golden egg.

"Karkaroff escaped. I guess no one can tell you this secret. Other warriors will have a way to know the secret of the golden egg." Albert reached out and patted Krum on the shoulder and said, "If you want to thank me , help me deal with those girls later."

"What?"

"Merry Christmas."

With that said, Albert took out his wand, cast a disillusionment spell on himself, and disappeared directly in front of Krum.

"Don't worry about it. Since Harry Potter became the fourth warrior, the meaning of this game has changed. Don't die inexplicably."

Krum stood there blankly, looking confused, still recalling the meaning of Albert's words just now.

Perhaps, Albert never regarded them as opponents from the beginning.

Because he is too strong.

So strong that no one else is qualified to be his opponent.

However, Krum soon lost his mind to think about this, because a group of girls came over and surrounded him.

Krum, who was surrounded by a large group of girls, was suddenly in a trance. He actually had the illusion that the other party did not want to tell him the secret of the golden egg, but wanted him to help hold these girls back.

After using Krum to get rid of the girls behind him, Albert appeared in the secret room of Hogsmeade through the disappearing cabinet, and then used the time turner to go back to a few hours ago.

When he put the time turner into his pocket and came out of the secret room, Isobel was sitting on the beanbag next to the fireplace in the hall reading a book.

"Is the dance over?"

The girl heard the familiar footsteps coming from behind and asked without moving her head.

"I haven't missed you yet, so I left in the middle." Albert reached out and picked up the book Isobel was reading, and kissed her on the forehead, "I didn't keep you waiting for a long time."

"Glib tongue, could it be that you were scared by the girls and ran away early?" Isobel said this just as a joke. Of course, she knew that Albert was very popular with the girls, but it was obviously impossible to be scared and run away. Albert would definitely be able to find a way to defeat the girls who came up to him.

"Yes, they are indeed quite enthusiastic." Albert's face looked like it was yours.

"Where's Katrina?" Isobel was more concerned about her sister.

"I danced with Katrina for a long time until she had no energy left. I think she was satisfied."

Albert sat down on the sofa opposite and rubbed his legs. He felt that he might have backache and leg cramps tomorrow. This was completely the sequelae of sudden movement without regular exercise. Even a wizard could not avoid this aspect. Case.

"Well, she should have a good time tonight." Isobel was still more concerned about her sister. She looked at Albert and asked, "What about you?"

"Me? It's okay. You know, I don't really like the lively atmosphere, especially when there are no acquaintances around to chat with, which makes it even more boring. Besides, I would rather my dance partner be you. Do you want to dance for a while?"

"I thought you had danced enough." Isobel was a little surprised. She knew that Albert didn't really like dancing.

"For you, I don't mind dancing a little longer." Albert said softly, "Come on."

"Then I'll go change my clothes."

"No, it's up to me." Albert took out his wand and waved it gently, conjuring a new dress for Isobel. By the way, following his wand, the tables in the hall moved aside, and the beautiful people around him were remembered. song.

"This tune is great." Isobel said, humming the tune.

Albert made an inviting gesture toward Isobel, and the girl raised her hand.

The two danced to the music, spinning happily in circles and making beautiful tracks in the hall. They danced together for a long time, and they did not stop until their faces were red from dancing and their hearts beat faster.

"It's awesome."

Albert drank a glass of mulled wine prepared by the house elf for himself. After resting for a while, he planned to go to the hot springs for a while to relax.

Isobel didn't refuse. In fact, she was a little confused at first, but then she got used to it.

"There is an island country in the Far East where cherry blossoms bloom. Hot spring bathing is very popular there. The famous magic place is in that country. When we are free some other time, we can quietly travel to that country as Muggles."

Albert looked at Isobel who entered the hot spring wrapped in a bath towel and said, "They also boil eggs in the hot spring to make half-boiled hot spring eggs. It is said to taste good."

"You seem to be very familiar with the Far East." Isobel pulled the wooden barrel floating on the hot spring, took a sip of the mulled wine and said.

"Before becoming a wizard, I had been thinking about how to make money. In the Muggle world, money is very important. With money, you basically own most of the things. The Far East is a good place to make a fortune, so I spend I spent a lot of time researching it.”

"No wonder you care so much about money." Isobel leaned her head on Albert's shoulder and murmured, "But you are right. With money, it is indeed much easier. Before Katrina He told me about opening a beauty shop a while ago. It’s very profitable to start this business.”

"What do you think?"

"If she is willing, I will support her. Then she can be sent to the United States to learn how to open a beauty shop with Kathleen and Valeria, and she can also stay away from this place of right and wrong." Isobel hesitated for a moment and said, "As for mom, I can't convince her."

"You didn't tell her clearly?" Albert asked.

"She said it, but she didn't want to do that." Isobel sighed softly. Since her father's death, her work at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries has been almost everything to her, even more important than taking care of her two daughters. Heart.

"Use the forgetting spell." Albert frowned and said his suggestion, "I will send my family away next summer. You can go with my family, and they will take good care of her."

Isobel shook her head, she didn't think this was a good idea.

"So, it's still my last suggestion. After we get married, get pregnant as soon as possible and let her put down her work to take care of you." Albert whispered.

Isobel's cheeks turned red, but she quickly realized that Albert was teasing her.

"Some things are necessary to prevent the future."

"If you don't get involved with the mysterious person, maybe they will..." Isobel hesitated for a moment and said.

"If I wasn't so dazzling, of course you have no problem. They would blackmail, win over, and even use the Imperius Curse to control them, but they wouldn't kill pure-blood wizards at will. But... it's too late. If I'm too dazzling, I'm destined to become A thorn in the side, especially after we get married. If we are lucky, they may use the Cruciatus Curse to interrogate our whereabouts. If we are not lucky... So don't take chances." Albert hugged Isobel and rested his chin. The other person asked over his shoulder, "Do you have any regrets, or do you want to delay your marriage?"

"Let's use other methods then." Isobel rested her head on Albert's chest and made a decision.

Albert heard the firmness in Isobel's tone, and he was actually very happy that the other party had made a decision.

After the two took a bath, they sat down and ate some late-night snacks specially prepared by the house elves. Albert didn't eat much, and he spent a lot of time watching Isobel eat, while chatting about some messy things at the dance.

However, Albert soon became sleepy and fell asleep deeply on the sofa.

"Really," Isobel complained softly, looking at the sleeping Albert's cheek, but she also knew that Albert used a time turner, and it was probably very late when he came over, so the other party could run over to accompany him. She spent Christmas, and Isobel was very happy. If Albert didn't come, she might have to spend the holiday alone this year.

When Albert opened his eyes again, he found that he was already lying on the bed, and Isobel was lying next to him looking at him.

"Sorry." Albert stretched out his hand to cover his yawn and asked, "Is there something on my face?"

"Sometimes I think you are suitable for your current age when you are asleep."

"Go to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Albert fell asleep with his sweet-smelling girlfriend in his arms.
