Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 446: Fortune telling
The next morning, the weather was overcast, and there was a gloomy cloud over everyone's heads. While Albert was having breakfast, the sky began to drizzle.
At this time, there was a sudden noise in the hall, and the surroundings began to be filled with whispers, and everyone seemed to be talking about something in a low voice.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know." George took a step ahead of Lee Jordan and ran to find someone else to inquire.
"This guy stole my job again." Lee Jordan pulled out a piece of parchment from his backpack and handed it to Albert.
"What is this?"
"The list of the top sixteen players in the Wizarding Card Tournament." Lee Jordan replied inarticulately, taking a big bite of a slice of bread smeared with peanut butter.
Albert picked up the list of players for the Wizarding Card competition given by Lee Jordan after he had finished destroying the food on the plate. The selection for the top sixteen ended yesterday, and it has not changed much from the previous edition.
If there's a difference, it's that there may be a dark horse.
Isobel, who rarely plays wizard cards, can beat other players and easily reach the top sixteen.
"I just heard that Filch found Kenneth Toler unconscious in the bathroom on the third floor." George brought back some unpleasant news.
Fred smeared peanut butter on the bread, looked up at George, "Kenneth was attacked?"
"When Filch found Kenneth, his head was stuffed in the toilet, his pants were stripped, and he looked very miserable."
It's anyone's guess who attacked Kenneth.
Eight achievements are Slytherin's Flint.
The last time Kenneth Toller had Slytherin Quidditch captain Marcus Flint's pants ripped off, the two sides feuded, and just earlier this month, Kenneth was found unconscious In the bathroom, the pants were also stripped.
"If he was in the bathroom on the third floor, why didn't he find him in advance?" Fred asked in confusion, taking a bite of a slice of bread.
"He should have been disillusioned by someone, or stuffed directly into the compartment. If he didn't wake up, he would be hard to find." Albert stuffed the list into his schoolbag .
"There's something odd about this," George muttered.
"Tell me about your findings." Fred motioned George to continue.
"Will Marcus Flint take revenge on Kenneth Toler twice?" George thought for a moment and asked, "If the first time was revenge, what would the second time be?"
"It's also revenge." Lee Jordan hurriedly finished his slices of bread, picked up his schoolbag and left the hall with his roommates.
Fred and George disagreed with Lee Jordan.
On the way to the divination classroom, Albert suddenly asked, "Have you taught Kenneth the Disillusionment Charm?"
"I've taught it, and Kenneth has already mastered it initially, although he can't use the Illusionary Charm proficiently yet." When George answered Albert's question, he seemed to have thought of something.
"You mean..."
"This time, it is estimated that Kenny thought to find revenge on Flint, but accidentally fell into the opponent's hands." Albert told the three of his guesses.
If that's the case, some things are easy to explain.
If someone comes to trouble them, they're sure to teach the other person an impressive lesson.
At this moment, Albert and his partners also realized that the Disillusionment Curse was not as reliable as before, and Flint had obviously been prepared against the Disillusionment Curse.
"By the way, there is one more thing." George whispered: "I heard that Kenneth can't remember who attacked him, and the memory is 80% erased."
"It seems that the other party is prepared!"
Albert can guess what's going on without thinking, Marcus Flint is ready for revenge.
"What are you going to do?" Fred also found it troublesome. Since they started researching joke props, they didn't want to waste time on that group of people.
"Look for an opportunity to wipe them all out and erase some of their memories along the way." Albert is also ready to solve the problem at one time, and doesn't want to continue entanglement with them.
"How about you do a divination later?" Fred suggested, just as they were going to a divination class.
The second half of the divination class is crystal ball divination. At present, apart from Albert, who is suspected to be able to predict the future, there are no other wizards who can predict the future. Most of the students are just messing up to deal with Trelaw. Professor Ni.
"That's a good idea." Albert walked up the stairs into the attic.
Before the class, Professor Trelawney directly announced that the crystal ball divination will be the main content of the final exam, and everyone needs to tell her what they see in the crystal ball.
"What do you think we should think about when it's better to predict when?" Lee Jordan whispered to himself, "How about the prediction of Gryffindor winning the Quidditch trophy?"
"I think it should be predicted that Gryffindor will eventually win the House Cup over Slytherin," Fred said without hesitation. "In fact, we did predict future outcomes."
"See what?" George asked in a low voice. In his field of vision, nothing could be seen in the crystal ball except the whirling white fog.
"Well, I saw... an attack, and there were many people on the other side." Albert could not help frowning, recalling the picture passing over the crystal ball, he speculated, "You and Fred may have been killed by Someone attacked?"
"Son, tell me, what did you see in the crystal ball?" Professor Trelawney came this way at some point.
"I see there's no paper in the bathroom." Albert muttered.
"Does this mean that if you want to go to the toilet, you'd better bring your own tissues," Fred quipped in a wacky tone.
Other students in the class burst out laughing when they heard Fred's teasing.
Professor Trelawney frowned, looking unhappy.
"Mr. Weasley, tell me, what did you see in your crystal ball?" Professor Trelawney couldn't help raising his voice.
After being asked to do a divination by Professor Trelawney, Fred began to pretend, and it took about two minutes before he told everyone that he had seen a trophy and announced that Gryffindor would win this year's Quidditch trophy.
"Okay, dear," Professor Trelawney sighed after looking at the crystal ball, "I'm sure you've done your best."
"She actually thinks Gryffindor will lose the game?" Fred said sarcastically, watching Professor Trelawney walk away, "Harry easily defeated Team Slytherin and Hershey. Chipach, this year's Quidditch trophy must go to Gryffindor."
"That's not the point, Albert said we would be attacked." George reminded in a low voice, "the other party may find a lot of help."
All three of them participated in Albert's training, and their actual combat ability is much stronger than most of the students. Even if the opponent is a senior student, their side will not necessarily lose.
But it's a different story if the opponent is numerically superior.
"Why didn't the two of us act as bait and take the initiative to lure each other into taking the bait?" Fred obviously disagreed with George's point of view~IndoMTL.com~ He knew he was being attacked, but did nothing to subdue the other party. It's not a stupid thing they would do, not to mention that they still have Albert. Even if there is a numerical disadvantage, they will not necessarily lose, unless Albert is attacked and brought down directly.
This probability is very small, after all, Albert can see through those inferior illusion spells.
After listening to Fred's words, Albert was also stunned.
He understood what Fred meant. Was he going to use it as a bait to hook him out and catch him all at once?
This seems to have been said in the past, but...it seems a bit...
"We also can't be sure when the other party will attack us. Don't forget that Albert said there are many people in the other party."
"Being able to gather a group of people means it must be meal time, or weekend break time."
"We can use him if we really want to do that." George raised his finger to Slytherin's monte, who was out of his mind.
"I think it's a good idea."
All three looked at Albert, waiting for his final decision.
"Okay, just do it."
Albert glanced at the new panel quest and nodded in agreement with the trio's plan.
After class, Albert deliberately whispered to Fred, George, and Lee Jordan about the next plan, and coincidentally let the Slytherin montage overhear.
"Do you think he will believe it?" Lee Jordan looked at Monty's back, and didn't think the other party would believe the conversation just now.
After all, they made it too obvious just now, as if they were deliberately letting him hear it.
"No," said Albert softly, "but I think he'll be smart enough, and that's enough."
