Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 357: To be a dead cat
Albert didn't predict the winning lottery numbers, but he predicted what he would write on his notes in two days, so...he won.
Although a small prize of a few hundred pounds was planted, the experiment was undoubtedly a success.
The money was used for the Anderson family's dinner to celebrate Nia's attendance at Casterton Middle School.
Since this time, Daisy has been looking at her son's expression oddly.
Heb was disappointed to learn that he had worked for many years, but the result might not be worth a lottery ticket from Albert. It's also a loss that they all like the profession of lawyers, otherwise they would probably quit and let Albert directly predict a grand prize.
For the rest of the summer vacation, Albert stayed at home and did his homework. Because he was doing repetitive things every day, he always felt that time passed by very fast.
On the last night of August, Albert was packing his luggage in his room when there was a knock on the door. After the door was opened, Tom was trying to get in through the crack of the door.
"Mom asked me to give this to you."
Speaking, Nia put a pack of candy beside the suitcase, then sat down on the bed, looking at Albert who was busy packing things, seemed to be about to say something, but didn't say anything.
"After going to Casterton Middle School, remember to find a few good friends and stop being bullied." Albert urged without looking up.
"I also learned karate," Nia reminded.
"Learning that is not for you to fight with others." Albert pushed Tom aside, turned his head to look at Nia and said, "Girls, don't be so violent, or you will be disgusted by others. ."
"Then why are you learning karate?" Nia pouted in dissatisfaction, she didn't forget that someone had brought down a few unlucky people in school.
"I'm learning karate!" Albert said without hesitation. "Of course it's for others to talk to me calmly!"
"Sophistry!"
"When the other party can't beat me, you say that he is willing to be beaten, or he is willing to reason with me." Albert took a candy and threw it into his mouth, smiled and said to Nia: "By the way, there is one Things, you have to remember."
"What's the matter?"
"Don't show what I give you. Ordinary people are very afraid of magic, and they may even do some irrational things." Albert reminded seriously: "You should learn to protect yourself. ."
"You're more verbose than mom."
"By the way, this is for you." Albert didn't care about the other party's complaints, and took out a garnet pendant and handed it to Nia.
This is the amulet he tried to make with Nico when he went to visit Nico. By the way, that garnet was kindly provided by Nico.
He is very satisfied with the finished product made in cooperation with Albert, both of whom have applied powerful protective magic to the amulet.
"Amulet again?"
Nia took the amulet and looked up and down, she thought it was more like a work of art.
"The amulet I gave you in the past has expired. This one should last longer. I made it for you after consulting Mr. Nicole Lemay."
"You carved it?" Nia asked in disbelief.
The pendant is a phoenix that was reborn from ashes. It's very fine, and it's really beautiful with red garnets.
"Otherwise? Your brother and I are versatile, I really don't know why my mother is always worried that I can't find a job." Albert nagged, "Remember, don't mention magic to people, future letters , I'll let my family forward it to you."
"Got it." Nia took the necklace and ran downstairs to share the gift with Daisy.
Albert shook his head.
The next day, Albert woke up early.
It took him a long time to convince Tom to stay in the cage.
Tom is reluctant to be locked up despite his previous travel experience.
After Herb loaded the suitcase into the car, the family set off towards King's Cross. They arrived at the station well before ten o'clock.
Herb helps unload the suitcase onto the cart while Albert is saying his final goodbyes to his family.
"Remember to write to me." Nia stepped forward to give Albert a hug.
"When you find good friends at school, you'll leave me behind."
"No." The girl was a little unhappy.
"Okay, take care of yourself when you go to school."
"I'm not a kid anymore, don't keep talking about these things."
Herb and Daisy couldn't help laughing. They both stepped forward to give Albert a hug, and Daisy kissed Albert's forehead.
"Then I'm leaving."
Albert pushed his car through the wall when no one was paying attention.
At this point in time, not many students have arrived, and the platform is deserted, only the Hogwarts locomotive is smoking white smoke.
Finding an empty compartment in the middle compartment, Albert went in and closed the compartment door before releasing Tom from the cage.
The fat cat found himself in an unfamiliar place and seemed very insecure. After sniffing from side to side, he squatted on the table in front of Albert, staring straight at him, as if he was asking Where is Bert going to take himself?
Sheila ~IndoMTL.com~ in the cage next to her is shaking her head and looking at the back of Tom's head. If it weren't for the cage, it would have given the fat cat a head.
Perhaps aware that the back of his head was being remembered, Tom turned his head to stare at the owl shaking its head in the cage, licked his paws, jumped into Albert's arms, and gave a demonstrative meow to the owl in the cage.
The owl in the cage began to claws at the cage, seemingly ready to come out and peck the fat cat's head.
"Okay, let's go."
Albert hurriedly reassured the two pets to avoid a commotion in the carriage.
In a short while, the platform began to become lively, and more and more wizards appeared here, sending children on the train, or saying goodbye to their children.
Albert looked outside the platform through the window, looking for the boy with the lightning scar on his forehead.
Although he knew he was unlikely to find Harry Potter by doing so, he didn't mind using it as a time-killing activity.
At this moment, a voice caught Albert's attention. When he turned around, he saw Tom squatting in front of Shera's cage, slapping the birdcage with his claws, provoking the owl in the cage.
What a hell!
Tom didn't dare to do this before. Did he know that Shera was locked in a cage and couldn't get out?
Albert stretched out his hand to help his forehead, preparing to separate the two guys before they fell out.
However, it's too late.
I don't know if Shera suddenly became enlightened. She actually knew how to use her claws to pick up the latch on the birdcage, kick the door of the cage open, and get out from the inside.
Before Tom could react, Sheila stretched out her head and pecked at its head, and there was a sudden pounding in the carriage.
