Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 915: Good words are hard to persuade
Chapter 916 Good words are hard to persuade
"Albert, do you know about Hagrid?"
When Albert and the others got dressed and were about to leave the prefect's bathroom, Hermione quickly stepped forward and called Albert to stop.
"Hagrid's question?"
Albert let Fred, George and Lee Jordan go first.
"Rita Skeeter reported on Hagrid's lineage in the Daily Prophet." After the three of them walked away, Hermione told Albert about Hagrid, "We had some time ago I went to visit Hagrid, but he didn't open the door for us, I'm a little worried..."
"Oh, Rita Skeeter overheard Hagrid talking about his mother being a giant?" Albert was not surprised at all, and said to Hermione, "I think Hagrid Ge probably suffered a great blow, and it is estimated that many wizards sent letters to scold him to die quickly!"
"I can't help it. This matter has already spread. No matter what you do, it will not help. You can only let the matter calm down."
Albert rushed to block what Hermione wanted to say before she could speak.
"A long time ago, I warned Hagrid not to mention his bloodline to others. I warned him more than once and told him the consequences." Albert sighed softly, shook his head helplessly and said , "But Hagrid obviously didn't take my words seriously, so he's 'inflicted on himself' now."
"Do it yourself?"
Hermione couldn't believe that she heard such words from Albert.
"Otherwise?" Albert asked back, "What do you want me to do, go to comfort Hagrid with you, and then be shut out with you?"
Hermione opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Even she didn't know what she wanted Albert to do, and she stopped him just to find someone to discuss. In Hermione's eyes, Albert was much more reliable than Harry and Ron after all, and he might be able to think of a way to get Hagrid out of his current depression.
However, Albert said that Hagrid's current situation is completely self-inflicted.
"It's useless for you to look at me like this." Albert looked at Hermione and said calmly: "I've reminded him so many times, and he doesn't care, what can I do? Now let Hagrid It is also a good thing to suffer a little, learn a lesson, and have a long memory. As for Hagrid, you don’t need to worry about him. Hagrid is older than the three of you combined, and he can handle this matter by himself. After a while, just wait for his mentality to adjust."
"As for Rita Skeeter, it's not the first time that woman has written this kind of article in order to gain everyone's attention. If you want to find an opportunity to teach her a lesson, I think you will There is a chance, because that guy is probably after Harry." Albert signaled Hermione to listen to him quietly, "However, you'd better be quick and ruthless, at least don't let her have a chance to trouble you, otherwise you will definitely There will be big trouble, that guy is very good at uglifying people."
Hermione looked at Albert, opened her mouth blankly, and asked after a long time: "Why didn't she report your news."
"When she reported my news indiscriminately last time, I came to her door and taught her an impressive lesson, so that she would not dare to report any news about me in the newspaper." Albert's tone was calm, as if it was just a matter Insignificant little things.
Hermione opened her mouth, watching Albert's leaving back, speechless for a long time.
By the time Hermione returned to the prefect's bathroom, Harry had already taken off his robe and was soaking in the bathtub with the golden egg, not knowing what to say to Ron.
"What are you looking for with Albert?" Harry asked suspiciously.
"I told him about Hagrid."
"Oh, how did he say..."
Hermione was silent for a moment, and repeated Albert's words.
"How could he say such a thing? It's a good thing for Hagrid to suffer a little and get a lesson to improve his memory." Both Harry and Ron were very angry about this, "Isn't he Hagrid's friend? ?”
"Albert...probably also very helpless?"
Hermione understood Albert's helplessness. After all, he had been reminded and persuaded so many times, but Hagrid wouldn't listen, so what could he do?
This kind of thing can never happen, Hagrid's current encounter is completely paying for his own stupidity.
Besides, things have happened, what can Albert do?
At most, he went to comfort Hagrid like the three of them.
Hermione actually felt that Albert was right. Hagrid had already made enough troubles. Many times it was Albert who helped him clean up the mess, but this time he couldn't help it.
She peeked at Harry and Ron again, and sometimes felt that they were really immature, and so was she.
"Alright Harry, how is your golden egg research going?" Hermione changed the subject casually,
Harry demonstrated it directly to Hermione. He soaked the golden egg in the water, and soon there was a faint singing sound in the water.
"You need to stick your head into the water to hear it clearly." Harry explained to Hermione, "The situation is the same as Fred and George singing, the warriors need to get their treasure back within an hour. However, there is a problem now... I can't swim."
Harry brings up the point of this matter again, he can't swim.
Yeah, Harry won't.
Dudley had swimming lessons as a child, but Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon no doubt hoped that Harry would drown someday, so they never taught him to swim.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became very serious. If Harry couldn't swim, even with the Bubble Curse when he entered the water, it would be difficult for him to complete the second project of the Triwizard Tournament alone.
"Why don't you start learning now? You still have more than a month." Hermione asked tentatively, "I'm actually not very good at swimming, Ron, how about you?"
"I'm not very good at it either." Ron stammered.
"I think this is a good idea, it's winter, do you expect me to learn how to swim here?" Harry thinks this is a crazy idea, before he learns to swim, he may be drowned or frozen to death up.
"I don't think it's just about swimming and breathing." Hermione said to herself, "Don't forget, the competition started on February 24th, and the weather was still very cold at that time. Krum should have the advantage, he told me that their school is very cold, but I doubt whether he can stay in the lake for an hour."
"He told you?" Ron said strangely.
"Even for ordinary people, it is difficult to stay in the water for an hour, let alone in such a low temperature environment, the physical strength will definitely not last."
"You're right Hermione, I think I'd freeze to death in a matter of minutes if I got in the water at that time." Harry found trouble after trouble, much to his dismay.
"Besides, you may also need to fight the murlocs to get back the stolen treasure." Ron asked pretendingly casually, "By the way, Hermione, are you really going to be Krum's son?" Baby?"
"Albert said it was only possible!" Hermione said sullenly.
"His words have always been accurate." Ron sneered.
……
The Christmas holiday is finally over. On the first day of school, Fred, George and Lee Jordan, who could no longer hide, ushered in the iron fist of sanctions. Obviously, it was the last time they distributed love potion to the students. The pastry, which annoyed some of the students.
After all, it seemed normal to take revenge on the three of them for making them so ugly in front of the girls. Especially those three bastards, who also played missing like Albert, and the students who had a backlog of Christmas vacation, did not calm down as the twins hoped, but became more and more angry.
So there was the attack not long ago.
It's a pity that a group of people can't beat Fred, George and Lee Jordan.
Different from the three people who had been trained by Albert, those guys who came to trouble the three people were simply rookies who only knew how to throw spells. Although this statement was strange, it was probably the case.
"I thought they would calm down after the Christmas holiday, but I didn't expect..." Fred and Lee Jordan shrugged at Albert: "I didn't expect them to remember that, You can't let us stand and be beaten!"
"That's why I said that we should eat together at the time, pretending that we accidentally got the love potion, so they wouldn't come to trouble us. After all, we didn't know that the dessert was mixed with the love potion, and it was the same Victim." George had the look on his face that if you'd listened to me, this wouldn't have happened to you.
"Who makes you like to die." Albert said speechlessly: "I heard that Bagman sent you to St. Mungo's Magical Injury Hospital."
Speaking of this, the four of them couldn't help laughing.
No one here will sympathize with that **** Bagman.
After returning to the common room, the four found that the school had given them a surprise, and a big notice was pinned on the notice board in the common room:
Apparition class
If you are seventeen or over by 31st August, you can attend a twelve week Apparition course taught by a Ministry of Magic Apparition teacher.
Those who would like to participate please sign below.
Tuition Fee: Twelve Galleons.
"We'd better pass once, Charlie took Apparation twice." Fred took out a quill and signed it and said to the other partners, "Of course, Albert must be fine."
"Twelve Galleons is a lot of money." George took the quill pen from Fred to sign on it, and muttered, "Albert, don't you mind lending us some Galleons first?" , and we will return it to you when we have money."
George actually knows that Albert, who is rich and powerful, doesn't mind at all that they use research funds to pay for the Apparition class, but he still has to tell Albert about it.
Taking out twenty-four Galleons in one breath will undoubtedly make things worse for the Weasley family who are not well-off.
"No problem, remember to return my thirteen Galleons when the time comes." Albert took the quill, signed it and said with a smile: "However, after the joke shop opens, you probably won't do it again." I'm short of money."
Angelina greeted Albert with a smile, then looked at Fred, George and Li Jordan meaningfully, and said with a smile: "You are miserable, I heard that someone wants to find you Trouble."
"I've already found it," Fred said, shrugging indifferently, "However, their strength is very poor, and they have been settled by the three of us."
"Really?"
"Of course, we have received Albert's training, and it is no problem to deal with a few students."
"What training?"
"Defense Against the Dark Arts training, of course." Fred said logically, "The Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts is really bad. You can't learn anything useful. Of course you have to learn it yourself."
"Then why did you hide some time ago?" Arya asked sharply, she felt that the Weasley twins were bragging.
"We're just studying things in retreat." George explained with a light cough.
"I'm more curious about where you were hiding some time ago?" Angelina asked curiously
"Of course they are hiding in the dormitory." Fred and George said in unison.
After signing and handing the quill to Lee Jordan, Albert walked towards the periphery of the crowd.
"I remember that neither the castle nor the hunting ground can Apparate." Shanna appeared beside him at some point, frowning and said, "And I heard that Apparating is not very comfortable."
"The principal actually has the power to lift certain restrictions in the school." Albert explained with a smile: "As for the apparition, you can only adapt to those discomforts yourself. It is still very convenient after you get used to it. In the blink of an eye, the destination will be reached."
"It really sounds like what you would say."
"You shouldn't have used Apparation secretly!"
Several people remembered that Albert quietly left school during the Christmas holiday, and they became more and more suspicious that Albert had already mastered apparation.
It is Albert after all, even if he learned it, it doesn't seem to be a strange thing.
"Didn't you know it, why did you still sign up?" Angelina asked puzzled. She saw Albert signing it just now.
"Training ~IndoMTL.com~ is required to take the exam. This is the rule of the Ministry of Magic, because most of those who did not attend the training class will fail the exam." Fred explained, "Remember Charlie took the test twice before passing."
"Tell us about Apparation!"
The sixth grade students gathered around Albert, hoping that he could tell everyone about the experience of Apparition and the key points of how to quickly master Apparation. They now believe that Albert has mastered Apparation.
However, Albert naturally has a way to deal with them. He took out his wand and waved it lightly, and summoned a booklet from his dormitory called "Common Mistakes and Avoidance of Apparition" and handed it to To everyone present, he picked up his cat and went back to the dormitory with a smile, leaving behind a group of girls with resentful eyes.
“Albert is always preparing, no wonder he always learns these things faster than others.”
Seeing the pamphlet issued by the Ministry of Magic in her hand, Shanna sighed softly. They actually knew that Apparition was trained every year in the school, and they naturally knew that this thing actually existed, but no one I really care, and no one went to the senior students who took the test to borrow and read it, but Albert had one, which showed that he had been preparing for the Apparition test a long time ago.
