Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 169: Adults like to play tricks
This summer would have been perfect if it hadn't happened to the Ministry of Magic.
Even if magic can't be used during the summer vacation, Albert still has a lot to do, such as reading books that he didn't have time to read before~IndoMTL.com~ has always been one of Albert's hobbies, not to mention reading books. If you can gain experience, why not do it?
On the last night, Herb took his family to an Italian restaurant for authentic seafood pasta, which tasted really good.
When we got home, we sat together on the sofa, ate snacks and chatted while watching the latest funny TV series.
Before ten o'clock, Daisy cooked hot cocoa for everyone and went to bed after drinking it.
The next morning, Tom woke Albert again with his fluffy tail.
Albert, dressed neatly, walked to the table, opened the drawer with the key, and took out the gold card.
There is also a letter on the desk. Professor Brod wrote to himself. In addition to explaining some of the use of magic skills, it also vaguely mentioned one thing: Hetok had visited him.
Well, the meaning of this sentence is that Hetok knows that the gold card is with him.
However, Albert doesn't care either, he will put the gold card in a letter and give it to Sheila, and let Shera deliver the letter to Grandpa Luke. Then, it was sent to Hogwarts by Grandpa Luke by mail.
There are no doors, let alone windows, if Hetok wants to get his gold card back in some other way.
Albert has already decided that if the other party doesn't settle the matter, he won't want to get the gold card back from him.
Anyway, his request is not too much.
Since you caused the trouble, go and fix it for me.
As for how to settle this matter, that's none of Albert's business.
Breakfast was great, Daisy made Albert's favorite food and helped prepare a ham sandwich.
At half past eight, the family set off on time for King's Cross.
Unfortunately, today's luck doesn't seem very good. There appears to be a traffic accident on the road ahead while stuck in traffic on the way to London. By the time Albert arrived at the station, it was a quarter past ten.
Herb helped find the luggage cart and unloaded Albert's suitcase from the cart.
"You're not going to take Tom away, are you?" Nia asked, hugging Tom.
"No, Tom will stay at home with you." Albert patted his sister's head, "I believe you can definitely take care of yourself and Tom."
"Don't touch the lady's head." Nia pouted in dissatisfaction, but didn't dodge, "Remember to write to me, and don't forget about the photos."
"I know, I won't forget it." Albert reached out and touched Tom's head, admonishing: "Don't eat too much, or no one will be able to hold your big fat cat in the future."
"Meow!" Tom called out, not knowing if he was protesting or what, causing everyone to laugh.
"If you need to buy a broom, use this Galleon." Herb pushed the luggage in front of Albert, took out a bag of Galleons from the car and handed it to Albert. He nodded, smiled and said, "I'm really looking forward to seeing you play."
"If I can find a wizard who knows how to take pictures, you will see the pictures." Albert smiled and shook his head as a reminder, "But don't have high expectations."
"See you over the Christmas holidays!" Daisy hugged Albert, kissed him on the cheek, and instructed, "If you have any trouble, you can write to us and discuss it."
"I will." Albert looked at Nia and spread his hands.
Nia handed the cat to Daisy and stepped forward to give Albert a big hug.
"Okay, see you on vacation." Albert trotted toward the wall between platforms 9 and 10, pushing the luggage cart.
Anyway, there was no one else at this time, so Albert did not deliberately hide, and went directly through the wall to enter platform nine and three-quarters from the side.
He looked up and saw the Hogwarts express train, and the little sense of loss completely disappeared. After returning to the magic world, he could use magic.
Smoke from the scarlet steam locomotive, there are already wizards on the platform who have come to put their children on the train.
As Albert pushed his luggage toward the train door, someone suddenly stood in front of him. He stopped, looked up at the middle-aged man in a suit and tie in front of him, and couldn't help squinting.
He has a very good memory and recognizes who this person is at a glance.
Hertok.
Didn't expect to meet each other here?
Although it was a bit of a surprise, it was also what he expected.
Albert's face froze, but quickly returned to normal. He pretended that he didn't know each other, and was about to pass by with his luggage.
However, Hetok spoke first.
"Albert Anderson!" Hertok's tone was a little excited, and he looked at the boy in front of him. He was sure that the guy in front of him had picked up his golden membership card.
"Who are you?" Albert asked pretending to be puzzled.
"Hertok Dagworth." Hetok introduced himself.
"I don't know." Albert replied simply, "Do you have anything to do with me? Just don't stop here."
Hetok's face twitched, he'd never seen a guy so disrespectful.
Hetok is a very well-known potion master in the wizarding world, and most people who know him will be very polite to him.
However, the boy in front of him is an exception.
However, Huttock was not angry either. According to the information he collected, Albert was a Muggle wizard who was preparing to enter second year at Hogwarts. Very normal.
"We met in France, at the Opera," Hertok reminded, "Romeo and Juliet"
"Oh, you were there at the time." Albert looked at Hertok, and said, "And then? If you have anything, just say it directly, don't waste everyone's time."
"Yeah!" Hetok looked at Albert in a daze. He didn't expect the other party to be so direct. He suddenly had a bad premonition.
"I know you found a gold card. It's a card made of gold."
The boy in front of him is not quite the same as the twelve-year-old boy in Hetok's impression. It's really... It's hard to say, it's just not the same.
"Well, that's true," Albert admitted, surprising even Hettock.
"I hope you'll be able to return the Gold Membership Card to me." Hetock paused and added, "Of course, as a thank you for helping me find it, I'll give you a thank you gift."
"Thank you?" Albert looked at Huttock with interest. "What thank you?"
"Twenty Galleons." Hetok said embarrassedly, "I don't know what gifts you like, but I think this money should allow you to buy a gift you like, I hope you don't think so. I was offended."
"No." Albert shook his head.
"Then..." Hetock took out the purse he had prepared in advance, ready to hand it to Albert, but the latter did not take it.
"Actually, even if you don't thank me, I will return the gold card to you." Albert added with a smile: "Of course, it would be best if you were willing to give me a sum of money. But..."
"But what?" Hetok couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and his bad premonition deepened.
"At the beginning, when I just left the opera house, the gold card showed signs of flying away." Albert said to Hetock: "You used the Flying Charm on the gold card, right!"
Hetok opened his mouth and didn't speak, but undoubtedly tacitly acquiesced.
"Later, shortly after I returned home, the British Ministry of Magic sent me this letter." Albert reached into his pocket, took out the warning letter the Ministry had sent him, and handed it to Hettock, continued: "How do you say it? This has nothing to do with me, and I'm not surprised given that the Ministry of Magic had a similar oolong incident last year."
"What do you want me to do?" Hertok seems to have realized what Albert wanted to say, and Brod's words may be fulfilled.
"Well," Albert continued to himself, "Actually, I've written a letter to the Ministry of Magic's Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic, trying to explain it to them, but they seem to ignore me. I think my letter probably went straight to the trash can.”
Hetok's bad premonition grows stronger.
"My request is very simple, since you caused this, I can only ask you to go to the Ministry of Magic's Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic and explain it. I know they don't want to hear my explanation, but if it's you Will definitely listen," said Albert calmly. "Have the head of the Ministry of Magic's Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic write me a letter apologizing for the Oolong incident that the Ministry of Magic created itself. After all, it was themselves. It's not too much to apologize for the mistakes you made. Whenever I receive that letter of apology, I will send you the gold card. As for your galleons, you don't have to. Picking up gold is a good quality, isn't it? What?"
"By the way, your name is Hetok Dagworth, right, I remembered your name." Albert turned around and said to Hettock as he pushed his luggage away, " Let the Director of the Ministry of Magic write it himself, then there will be sincerity, otherwise it will not count."
Hetok stood dumbfounded, looking at the back of Albert leaving, the muscles on his face were twitching constantly, as if his entire face was cramping.
The other party really didn't make any excessive demands.
If you cause trouble for the other party, the other party asks him to clarify things, which is what it should be.
If you make a mistake, you can be forgiven with a simple apology, which shows that the other party has been sincere.
But... want to convince the Ministry of Magic to apologize?
He looked down at the letter in his hand, knowing what was written even if he didn't need to look at it.
Hertok finally decided to take a tougher approach. As for whether the other party is willing to accept his thank you, it is not his concern.
"The golden membership card is flying." Hetok took out his wand and used the Flying Charm in Albert's direction.
He has already made up his mind, he will leave here after he gets the gold membership card, and then ask the owl to send Garen to the other party. As for whether Albert accepts it or not, it is none of Hertok's business.
Hertok was stunned, however, because nothing happened after he cast the spell.
The gold membership card did not fly, indicating that Albert did not keep the gold membership card with him.
"Don't try, I know you adults like to be fooled." Albert stood in front of the carriage, turned to Hetock and said, "Don't you think I can't guess what you're going to do? Don't Make a pointless attempt, the gold card is indeed in my hands. However, I will not bear the blame for that matter. Since it is your trouble, I will trouble you to solve it."
"By the way, don't use this unreliable method, otherwise I wouldn't mind remelting the gold card into gold and taking it to a Muggle gold shop to sell it for money." Albert said with a smile, "I'm sure it's worth more than twenty Galleons of yours."
Worth it Albert not sure, but he sure wants an apology from the Ministry of Magic... hum.
It might be difficult!
He doesn't care what Hetok wants to do.
If the other party is playing underhand tricks, he also has a hundred ways to kill the other party. Since the last time he went deep into the Forbidden Forest to fight against the spiders, Albert has also changed a lot.
The most intuitive point is that he is stronger than before~IndoMTL.com~ Moreover, with strength comes courage.
Watching Albert disappear into the back of the carriage, Hertok fell into a brief silence.
"It's really not that simple to be valued by Brod." Hetok couldn't help but smile bitterly.
His relationship with Brod is indeed very general, but he also knows that the other party has his own circle, and those who can enter that circle are all elites in a certain field of magic.
Albert Anderson is apparently one of them.
Actually, Hetok didn't want to have a bad relationship with each other either.
No way, Albert is too young, too young, which means that twenty years later, he will be an expert in a certain field again, and the other party also makes him feel inexplicably stable.
Looking at the stationery in his hand, Hertok suddenly realized a terrible fact.
The other party knew that he would come to him, but it was all disguised just now?
Did Brod write to him?
However, he knew that Albert had no malice, and it was precisely because he had no malice that he had the greatest malice.
Will the Ministry of Magic apologize for this?
Hertok doesn't think there is any precedent.
Even if this incident is indeed an oolong by the Ministry of Magic, as Albert said, he once sent a letter explaining the incident, but it was ignored by the other party, and the letter may have been thrown directly into the trash can.
Hetock wondered if Albert Anderson knew this, and if he did, the man would be horrible.
No, maybe he already guessed it?
Hetok's face is gloomy, and he Apparates away.
To be honest, as a potions researcher, Hettock doesn't like dealing with people from the Ministry of Magic, so that's why the golden membership card that can be used as a pass is so important to him.
