Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 179: Awful Fact

History of Magic is so boring. During the class, the students in the entire classroom are lethargic, and it is not until the end of the get out of class bell that everyone is revived.

Before dinner, Albert prepares to write to the others. The advantage of keeping in touch with those famous wizards by letter is that when discussing and researching a certain field, the experience increases very quickly, but the price that needs to be paid is that it takes a lot of time and energy to write back letters.

After all, everyone is a professional, and most of the content of the letter is academic issues, or views on a certain field, except for simple greetings.

To be honest, such a letter is much higher than writing a manuscript for an academic journal, but the content is a little less formal.

But no one really cares about it, and for them, it's enough to be able to explain it.

Albert often mentions some of his own doubts and novel ideas in his letters.

Albert dined alone in the auditorium, Fred and George both went to the Quidditch selection, and Lee Jordan went to cheer them on and watch the selection process.

After dinner, Albert first went back to Gryffindor's lounge and put the schoolbag back in the library, and then appeared in front of the stone monster at the entrance of the headmaster's room before seven o'clock in the evening.

"Mead," Albert said to the Stone Monster.

The stone monster suddenly came to life and jumped to the side, revealing a gap hidden behind him.

Albert walked through the gap in the wall and stepped up the spiral stone staircase. The monster blocked the gap again, and the stone staircase began to slowly rise, leading him to a wooden door with a brass knocker.

"Is this a magical elevator?" Albert couldn't help muttering, took out his pocket watch from his pocket, checked the time, and knocked on the wooden door of Dumbledore's office on time.

The next moment, the office door opened.

"Good evening, Headmaster." Albert nodded slightly towards Dumbledore.

"Come in, Mr. Anderson." Dumbledore smiled.

This is Albert's first visit to the headmaster's office, which is a circular room with pictures of previous Hogwarts headmasters hanging on the walls, all pretending to be asleep.

Albert is not the only visitor in the office, which is not surprising.

Hertok Dagworth arrived early.

"Hertok told me there was a little misunderstanding between you," Dumbledore said to Albert. "He wants to sit down and talk to you calmly. Wouldn't you mind?"

"Yes, a small misunderstanding." Albert nodded and said, "I also hope this matter can be resolved smoothly."

"That's great," Dumbledore asked happily. "What would you like to drink?"

"No, no need. After all, he's the Potions Master." Albert's tone was calm, but Dumbledore couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, clearly hearing what Albert meant.

Hertok Dagworth is the master of potions.

Who knows if he'll add something to the drink?

Example: Veritaserum.

"Oh, that's a pity." Dumbledore glanced at Hertok, who said nothing, and was not too optimistic about the outcome of the meeting.

The relationship between the two sides is not as friendly as Hetok said.

"I went to the Ministry of Magic two days ago." Hettock finally spoke up, "I went to talk to the other party about this, but that short, fat ugly woman just didn't want to admit it, and she didn't want to admit it. I would like to apologize."

"I just suddenly couldn't hear it." Dumbledore pretended not to hear Hertok.

"That's a pity." Albert shrugged, but there was no regret in the words on his expressionless face.

"One hundred, no, five hundred Galleons." Hetok offered his price, "I really can't do anything about the Ministry of Magic."

"Why don't you bribe the other party?" Albert asked curiously.

"I'd rather give this money to you than to that ugly ugly woman." Hetok's face showed a disgusted expression, obviously not fond of the woman in his mouth: "A thousand Galleons, Give me back my gold membership card."

"I see." Albert nodded, "Ten thousand Galleons, I'll return the card to you."

"Ten thousand Galleons, are you crazy? This is a blatant extortion." Hertok's face flushed instantly, and he was almost delighted by Albert's words. He felt that he was sincere enough. .

"Yes, I am indeed blackmailing you now." Albert directly admitted.

Heartok's heart throbbed at these words, and even Dumbledore couldn't help raising his eyebrows. The two never thought that Albert would admit it so plainly.

"Mr Anderson, how could you be willing to return the Gold Membership Card to Hettock?" Dumbledore interjected.

"It's very simple, Dagworth will solve the trouble he caused, and the director of the Office of Prohibition of Misuse of Magic will write to me and apologize to me in person." Albert said his conditions and spread his hands helplessly towards Dumbledore. : "I don't think I'm asking too much."

"That's it?" Dumbledore frowned. He had noticed that Albert directly addressed Hertok by his surname, and obviously didn't like him.

"It has always been, I only need Dagworth to solve the trouble he caused himself, and I will return the gold card to him, no Galleon or any thank you." Albert asked back. said, "That's fair, isn't it, Headmaster Dumbledore."

"It's true." Dumbledore admitted that Albert's actions were fine, and he couldn't fault him at all, because the other party's request was completely reasonable, which made people feel that everything was Hertok Looking for something on purpose.

"Sometimes, it's not just a matter of reason." Hetok said angrily.

"I know, so I didn't reason with you, I'm threatening you now." When Albert said the threat, it was as if he was telling people what to eat today.

"Mr. Anderson..." Dumbledore knew that this was the only way to go. Unless Hetok fulfilled the not-too-excessive request, he would not even think about getting the gold membership card back.

"I know what you mean, Professor Dumbledore. It's a pity that I don't see the slightest sincerity in Dagworth." Albert's voice was very calm, and it was precisely because he was very calm that he let He Toke felt deeply disturbed, "In my opinion, face is given to each other, and Dagworth doesn't give me face, you still expect me to give him face?"

Dumbledore was very surprised. To be honest, he had a good impression of Albert, but he never thought that the young boy in front of him would have such a tough side.

"I said, I've already gone to the director of the Office of Prohibition of Misuse of Magic, but she doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do about it." Hetok gradually calmed down.

"Then use a special method." Albert said.

"A special way?" Hetok repeated.

“If the director of the Office of the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic is still unwilling to apologize for the mistake, just ask the new director to apologize.” Albert said calmly, “Go to the Daily Prophet and publish an apology paper, All the blame goes to the head of the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic. Anyway, this is the Ministry of Magic's fault, and it's also the fault of the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic. If you don't know how to make good use of it, I can recommend you a reporter who is very good at this sort of thing, if you're willing to pay a little Galleon for her writing fee."

Not only Hertok's eyes widened, but even Dumbledore looked at Albert in surprise.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm just telling the truth." Albert shrugged. "Of course, I didn't want the Ministry of Magic staff to show up near my house afterwards. To be honest, I never doubted the way the people at the Ministry behaved."

Hetok suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

The boy in front of him was just telling the truth. However, the fact that he said in a calm tone made Hertok feel very bad.

He even felt that if he used a tough method, maybe the other party would have already figured out how to deal with him.

As he said, this is the truth.

Awful truth.

"I know what to do." Hetok was silent for a long time, before nodding and saying, "Although I can't understand why you want that **** apology letter, I think you will soon receive a letter from the Ministry of Magic. A handwritten apology letter from the Director of the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic."

"You want to know why I want it?" Albert narrowed his eyes at Hettock, then turned to Dumbledore.

The latter seems to be very interested.

Hetok also nodded.

"It's not my fault, why would I have to endure that? Why should I have to pay for the mistakes of the Ministry of Magic?" Albert asked rhetorically.

Hetok opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"If I did something wrong, just apologize to me obediently. This is already the cheapest and most peaceful solution." Albert raised his lips contemptuously, "My family has told me since I was a child that when others don't If you are willing to use a peaceful way to solve the problem, then you don't need to be polite, just go up and punch the other party, and punch him until he is willing to solve the problem peacefully."

Whether it was Dumbledore or Hertok, the expressions on their faces froze.

Of course, they also don't think there is a problem with Albert's tutoring. After all, he is still willing to solve the problem peacefully first.

It's just that this kind of thing happened to Hertok, and it really gave him an incomparable headache. He discovered that he was the unlucky **** whose face was covered in fists.

"Why don't you want Galleons? A thousand Galleons, is a lot of money for anyone?" After Hetok was relieved ~IndoMTL.com~ did not rush away and sat down. Come down and have a friendly conversation with Albert.

As Albert said, if you give me face, I will give you face.

"Knowledge is the greatest wealth of mankind." Albert said without hesitation.

Hetok was stunned for a moment, but listened to the other party continue to say, "This means that knowledge is equal to wealth. As long as you have enough knowledge and find the right way, you can quickly turn it into wealth." /

Hetok was speechless, and although he felt it was far-fetched, he knew he had been persuaded by the other party.

Albert is an expert in Rune, which means that his words are actually self-confidence.

"I now understand why Brod is so optimistic about you. His eyesight is indeed beyond my reach." Hetok sighed and stretched out his hand towards Albert: "I am in this matter. It will be resolved soon, if you are interested in the potion, or have any questions, you can write to me."

"If I had, I would write to you, Mr. Dagworth." Albert nodded.

"If you don't like the Ministry of Magic, you can solve it yourself. I believe that with your talent, you can be the Minister of Magic within thirty years at the latest." Before leaving, Hetok suddenly turned his head. Dao: "Brod's circle is wider than you think."

"I'm not interested in that stuff."

"That's a shame!" Hetok disappeared into the fireplace.

"It seems that this matter has been solved perfectly." Dumbledore looked at Albert with a smile, "I think Filius will be very disappointed that you didn't go to Ravenclaw."

"Except for Slytherin House, the rest of the Houses are suitable for me." Albert finished, turned and left.
