Chapter 173： Make a card (1/2)

On the first day of school at Hogwarts, there was a weekend day, which is a pleasant thing for most students.

In the morning, Albert opened his eyes and got up from the bed. It was still raining outside the window. He covered a yawn and looked up at his roommates, still lying in bed and not wanting to get up.

Every time I encounter rainy weather, I always don't want to get up.

Albert changed into his clothes and was about to go to the auditorium for dinner. Before leaving, he took out two brick-thick books from the suitcase.

These two books were borrowed by Albert from the library before the summer vacation, and naturally need to be returned after school starts. By the way, for the task of reading a hundred books, Albert has now read 17 books.

As he passed the common room, Albert saw a scene that surprised him.

There are already people on the armchairs in the common room, and many Gryffindor students... actually working hard to do their homework.

Is this the sun going to rise from the west?

No, it's still raining outside now.

”Good morning.” Shanna came down the other staircase and greeted Albert, who was also standing at the top of the staircase. Looking at the people in the common room, they asked in surprise, ”Everyone is doing...summer homework?”

”Well, copy summer homework.” Albert responded and walked towards the entrance of the common room.

Shanna glanced at the students in the common room and left behind Albert.

Along the way, both of them were talking about copying the curse.

”The items copied using the copying spell usually have no added value.” Albert gave the lost new student the way and said to Shanna: ”If you use the copying spell to copy a silver spoon, the copy itself is only a spoon. The use of silver, no precious metal silver.”

Shanna nodded to express her understanding.

Before arriving in the auditorium, they met Charlie and Wood in the foyer, and they were discussing the Quidditch selection.

As we all know, Wood will be the successor to the next Gryffindor Quidditch captain.

No way, after Charlie graduated, Wood was the oldest in the team and spent the longest time on the team.

Albert stepped forward and greeted the two of them, and then he was about to enter the auditorium for a meal.

”Albert.” Charlie suddenly called Albert.

”What's the matter?” Albert suddenly asked, turning around.

”The Quidditch selection will be held next Wednesday, don't be late.” Charlie reminded.

”Wednesday? I'm not sure when Professor McGonagall's transformation club will start.” Albert hesitated and said, ”Or, you can give me a replacement position.”

”Don't make excuses.” Charlie narrowed his eyes. ”Order the flying broom earlier. Your position is the seeker.”

Albert was taken aback for a moment, and asked suspiciously, ”What about you?”

”I can be qualified for the position of chaser.” Charlie's tone was flat, ”So, don't make excuses for yourself. I allow you not to come to Quidditch training occasionally.”

”That's not good.” Albert twitched his mouth.

”There is nothing wrong with it. Seekers themselves don't need to cooperate with others. You just need to catch the Snitch for us.” Charlie waved his hand impatiently, indicating that Albert can go.

After Albert and Shanna entered the auditorium, Wood looked at Charlie and asked, ”Is this really good?”

”You don't know the Quidditch level of the people in Gryffindor.” Charlie curled his lips in disdain. ”Besides, I didn't give them a chance. I can't do it. Who can blame.”

After speaking, Charlie patted Wood on the shoulder again, and continued: ”You know, chaser and batsman are easier to find, but seeker is not easy to find, so I have to leave you one A great seeker, otherwise, after you take over the Gryffindor team next year, no qualified seeker will be unlucky and will definitely lose.”

”Albert is fully qualified as a seeker, and you have seen him last time.”

”I'm just worried...” Wood hesitated, but still didn't say anything.

”What's to worry about? George and Fred are Albert's good friends. Angelina and Albert have a good relationship, and everyone else knows him too. It doesn't matter if he doesn't come occasionally.” Charlie means a lot. He reminded, ”The task of the seeker is to find the Snitch.”

Albert didn't know about Charlie's dealings with Wood, and he didn't even know that the original Quidditch players had already been scheduled.

He is teaching Shanna how to use the copy spell.

It is basically impossible to succeed at the first attempt. So, Shanna, who practiced with a spoon, failed as expected.

While the two were chatting about the precautions for copying the spell, Albert was attracted by a white owl.

In this torrential rain, Sheila still delivered the letter as scheduled.

”Thank you!” Albert took the owl nut from his pocket and placed it in front of Shera.

”What's in the letter?” Shanna asked curiously. When the letter fell on the table, there was a clear metallic sound.

”A piece of gold.” Albert said without hesitation. He didn't plan to open the letter in the auditorium, but put the envelope back into his pocket.
