Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 198: What are you planning?
Friday, 10:30 p.m. in the Gryffindor common room.
Albert is sitting in an armchair by the fireplace, flipping through the "Advanced Rune Translation" manuscript that Professor Rune gave him a few days ago.
Not far away, Angelina, who has finished her homework, is playing wizard cards with Arya, while Lee Jordan, who is always looking at the next game, is doing astronomy homework under Shanna's guidance.
"I won this game." Angelina smiled as she packed up the wizard cards, looked at Lee Jordan who was still doing her homework beside her, and asked with a puzzled face, "Why haven't you finished it yet."
"Why don't you do your homework first and then spend the rest of your time playing?" Arya couldn't understand Lee Jordan's mindset.
Angelina covered a yawn and asked, "Sanna, are you going back to the dormitory to rest?"
"You guys go back first, I'm almost there." Shanna said, looking at the button in front of her. She wants to turn buttons into beetles, but turning non-living things into living things is much harder than turning living things into non-living things.
"Then let's go back to rest first." Arya put the wizard card back in her pocket and returned to the dormitory together with her friend's hand.
"Failed again." Shanna sighed, looked up at Albert and asked, "Is there any way, or a trick?"
"Practice a lot." Albert said without hesitation.
"Alas, those words again," Shanna muttered, "what have you been looking at since just now?"
"The manuscript, the manuscript that Professor Babling asked me to help her revise." After Albert finished marking, he stuffed the manuscript back into the bag.
"Professor Babbling?" Shanna had never heard the professor's name.
"Professor Rune," Albert reminded.
"Ancient Rune? I heard that the third grade has this elective course, what are you going to choose?" Shanna asked suddenly.
"Electives?" Lee Jordan asked curiously, "what electives?"
"Divination, Protection of Magical Creatures, Muggle Research, Ancient Rune, Arithmetic Divination." Albert quickly said five subjects, "I'm going to choose all."
"Select all, do you have enough time?" Shanna was surprised.
"Enough, there is a way to give me plenty of time." Albert said with a smile.
"I've heard from others that Ancient Rune is difficult to learn." Shanna was a little hesitant about whether to choose Ancient Rune.
"Ancient Rune is like learning a foreign language."
"I remember that you were good at foreign languages." Lee Jordan looked at Albert with envy on his face, "I remember that you can speak French and just went to France for the summer vacation."
After a moment of hesitation, Shanna said, "If it's not too difficult, I'd like to choose all of them."
"What's easier?" Lee Jordan asked.
"Divination and Muggle studies." Albert said without hesitation, "I heard it's two out of five."
"Why?" Lee Jordan continued.
"Divination requires talent, and if you don't have talent, you are just messing around. It doesn't matter if you write homework." Albert took a sip of the cold milk tea and said, "As for Muggle research, I feel that wizards don't understand Muggles. , they probably don't know what batteries, TVs, light bulbs are?"
"Really?" Shanna asked in surprise.
"Do you know what a light bulb is?" Albert asked Lee Jordan next to him.
"Of course I do." Lee Jordan couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, "My family lives in the Muggle community, but some pure-blood wizards who are completely isolated from the Muggle world may really not know."
"It's hard to imagine." Shanna was taken aback.
"It's not hard to imagine," quipped Albert, "like my dad didn't know how slugs turned into potions, like Fred and George's dad didn't know what rubber ducks were for. ."
"Eraser... duck?" Shanna bit her lip to keep herself from laughing.
"I remember Albert giving Fred and George a rubber duck over the summer." Lee Jordan also remembered this.
"You are really..." Shanna finally couldn't help laughing, which immediately caught the suspicious eyes of many people, "...It was definitely intentional."
"By the way, what about Fred and George?" Albert silently looked at Shanna, who was smirking. He really couldn't understand what the other party was laughing at.
"You said the bastards, Fred and George, they went to the kitchen." Lee Jordan said after thinking for a while. "He said he was hungry and wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat."
"Who are you calling a bastard!"
The two voices come from the entrance of the common room.
Lee Jordan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Fred and George coming this way, both with a pie in their hands, eating as they walked.
"We worked hard to get you something to eat..." They walked over and couldn't help complaining, "Hum, I don't have your share."
"Cough, you heard it wrong." Lee Jordan coughed dryly and asked, "What's there to eat?"
Several people next to them are holding back their laughter.
"You think we're deaf? Humph, go away, you don't have the pie." Fred laughed and scolded Lee Jordan away, while George next to him took out the oil-paper bag with the pie from the pocket of his robe , and handed over the pie inside to Shanna.
"What pie?" Shanna asked curiously, taking the oiled paper bag.
"Steak and kidney pie," George said.
She took one and handed the oil paper bag to Albert next to her.
Albert looked down at the steak and kidney pie in front of him, and honestly, he had no appetite.
"Give it to Lee Jordan!" Albert handed the oiled paper bag to Lee Jordan.
"Don't give it to that bastard," both Fred and George couldn't help complaining.
"Albert gave it to me." Lee Jordan took the oiled paper bag and snorted softly, "It has nothing to do with you now."
"You bastard."
"Aren't you going to eat?" Lee Jordan quickly changed the subject and asked Albert.
"No, no appetite." Albert shook his head.
"How about I give you half?" Shanna said with a smile, "It's not advisable to eat too much at night."
As she spoke, she actually split the steak and kidney pie in half and stuffed one half into Albert.
Albert was speechless for a while.
Steak and kidney pie is a traditional British delicacy, probably!
This kind of thing has just been made, and it tastes okay to eat while it's hot, but it doesn't taste very good when it's cold.
It's worse than the meat buns that have been completely cold.
Under the watchful eye of several people, Albert took a bite of the steak and kidney pie, which was a little salty and a little subtle.
"Is it not bad?" George asked with a smile.
"I prefer to eat it while it's hot," Albert said.
During the chat, the people in the common room gradually disappeared, the cold wind rattled the windows, and the fire in the fireplace was about to go out~IndoMTL.com~ I'll be ready later..." Able Te made a sly gesture towards the few people who were playing wizard chess.
"What if I'm caught?" Lee Jordan was a little worried. "Last time, William was caught at night, and the angry Professor McGonagall made him brush the chamber pot for several days. I don't want to get a little prince of chamber pot. nicknames like that."
"The Little Prince of the Chamber Pot?"
"In the Muggle world, there is a prince named William." Albert explained with a smile, "I remember he only brushed it once last year."
"More than once." Fred said with a smile.
"It's not important!" Lee Jordan looked helpless, he was really worried that Ye Yu would be caught.
"Relax, we won't be caught." Fred and George looked at each other, winked and said in unison, "You have to have confidence in Albert."
"What are you going to do with your night tour?" Lee Jordan whispered.
"Go to the forbidden area to find books, remember Snape's ability to see through other people's thoughts?" Albert whispered, "It is indeed a kind of magic called Legilimency, I plan to go Look for books that can counter this magic in the forbidden section of the library."
"When are you leaving?" Lee Jordan asked excitedly.
"Don't you want to go?" Fred couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"I also want to learn this kind of magic." Lee Jordan said excitedly, "What's more, if you are caught, everyone will be out of luck together, what are you afraid of."
"No one can catch us." George snorted softly, "However, I don't think you can learn that Legilimency either."
"You won't know until you try it."
" Legilimency is really hard." Albert coldly poured cold water on Lee Jordan, causing Fred and George to laugh.
