Chapter 15： The wizard’s taste is a bit strange (1/2)
”You...you really bet?” George Weasley swallowed, ”That's 25 gallons, in case... in case...”
He never dared to say the words that he guessed wrong, for fear that he would say it.
”I believe in my luck and intuition.” Albert said quietly, ”You don't try it, if you guess it, you can make a fortune.”
”We don't have any money.” The twins shook their heads after looking at each other. The Weasleys are relatively poor, and even if the twins have some savings, they won't be wasted on guessing.
”Don't look at me, I want to save some money for other things.” Li Qiaodan shook his head repeatedly. He only thought that Albert's approach was crazy, and if he really had the money, he would never use it like this. ”
During the conversation among the four, the train had left London and was speeding along the meadows and fields.
Albert was flipping through the newspaper and listening to the trio chatting about Quidditch. In this regard, he couldn't speak at all. Even if he knew the rules, he had to pretend not to be clear.
After all, Albert comes from the Muggle world, and it is logically impossible to know these things about Quidditch.
”By the way, have you heard about Gabriel Truman?” George suddenly mentioned the matter a while ago.
”Natley was almost fired by the Ministry of Magic.” Fred whispered, ”Later, he went to apologize to Gabriel Truman in person, and the matter was over.”
”I also heard. But my mother said Rita Skeeter's article is not credible.” Li Jordan said, ”That woman likes to exaggerate facts.”
”Most newspapers are like this, but the content always needs two points of truth.” Albert closed the newspaper and said. As one of the culprits of all this, he naturally knew what had happened.
”I've been to Truman's cubicle before and heard him talk to others about it, saying that he met a Hogwarts freshman practicing magic during the summer vacation, and then I received a letter inexplicably saying that it was Gerwarts fired.” Fred said suddenly. ”At that time, Dumbledore and a Ministry of Magic staff came to the door. The Ministry of Magic had a very bad attitude and didn't even give an apology, so he just...”
Albert raised his eyebrows when he heard the words. He can only say that Westerners are more ostentatious. He reminded Truman to keep it secret. Obviously he had forgotten it. However, he didn't tell his story.
Albert's soul is an Oriental after all, the humility and implicitness in his bones have not disappeared, and he doesn't like publicity.
”By the way, do you know how the school is divided?” Albert changed the subject.
”I don't know, the family won't tell me.” Li Qiaodan shook his head and said.
”Percy said it would go through a kind of test.” George said a little annoyed. ”They are always reluctant to tell us that it is an interesting thing.”
”How is the life of a wizard? Is it interesting?” Albert thought for a while and said, ”At first, when I received the letter, they were very surprised. My mother didn't even welcome Professor McGonagall. She was worried. I cannot find a job after graduation.”
”That's not true, my two brothers have graduated.” The twins said in unison.
”Bill worked for Gringotts in Africa.”
”Charlie studies dragons in Romania.”
”Where is your father?” Albert asked knowingly.
”He works at the Ministry of Magic.” The twins looked at each other and said in the same way.
”I think I will stay in the Muggle world after graduation.”
”Why?” The three asked in a puzzled way, in their opinion this is difficult to direct.
”I came to Hogwarts mainly to learn magic and how to use magic. Professor McGonagall said that if you don't learn magic, you may lose control of magic in the future.”
”But in the world of Muggles, we can't use magic at will, and we can't let Muggles know the existence of magic, otherwise we will cause trouble for ourselves.”
”By the way, what do you want to do from now on?”
