Chapter 176： Throwing Mandrakes (1/2)
Since the beginning of Hogwarts, Albert's school life is back on track.
He doesn't stay up late every day, goes to bed on time, and wakes up at seven o'clock in the morning.
On rainy days, I occasionally slack off in bed.
Yesterday, the weather finally cleared up, and this morning it started to rain again. Well, he is definitely not making excuses for his bedtime.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Albert went downstairs to dine with his friends. Gryffindor’s long table already had plenty of oatmeal, pickled herring, and sliced bread, as well as plates of golden fried eggs and fried bacon.
The pickled herring has not been fermented. After frying in a pan, the meat is hard and slightly salty. It is suitable for oatmeal.
Of course, the premise is that sugar and milk are not added to the oatmeal.
”Good morning. Have you heard about the Defense Against the Dark Arts class?” Angelina picked up a bowl of oatmeal with milk and sat on the chair opposite Albert.
This topic quickly aroused the interest of the surrounding students. The Defense Against the Dark Arts class has always been a popular course at Hogwarts.
”What's the matter?” Albert asked.
”According to the Ravenclaw students, our first class is learning how to deal with Bogut.” Angelina was adding sugar to the oatmeal.
”You mean Roger? I just heard it. He's still talking about how he dealt with Bogut.” George curled his lips in disdain. ”As everyone knows, Bogut is basically not a threat. The worst case is Was taken aback.”
”Bogut will become a creature that others are afraid of. It is said that with more people, it doesn't know what it should become.” Albert recalled it, it seems that Lupin only talked about how it was when Potter was in third grade. Deal with Bogut. However, considering Lockhart’s scam, he didn’t use ”Dark Force: A Guide to Self-Defense” to lecture the entire semester, so it’s not hard to guess that the progress is behind.
”I suddenly looked forward to what I was afraid of?” Albert took a bite of his homemade salted fish sandwich, thinking about what he was afraid of.
”Fail the exam?” Shanna said, raising her eyebrows.
”I think he has never worried about this kind of problem.” Lee Jordan took a bite of the slice of bread and said slurredly, ”I think he has no money, that is, he has become a poor ghost, um, yes, he has become Poor ghost.”
”I like money, yes, but I'm never afraid of becoming a poor man.” Albert said irritably. After all, it's easy to be a wizard and have a system to make some money.
”I think it's because I don't have a book to read, or I'm an ordinary person.” Fred said without hesitation, ”I bet on Nat.”
”Then you must have lost.” Albert smiled and stretched out his hands at Fred. ”A Nat, who else wants to bet?”
Fred slapped Albert's hand away and complained dissatisfiedly, ”I haven't lost yet.”
”No, you are determined to lose.” Albert said with a smile. ”After all, what am I afraid of, how could I not know?”
”Are you kidding?” Fred pretended to be shocked, causing everyone to laugh.
”I think it's busy work.” George said: ”After all, Albert has a better life than anyone else. I definitely don't want to be busy with work in the future.”
”This...” Albert touched his chin, shook his head and denied: ”If I am rich, I don't need to go to work, so I don't need to worry about busy work. Why do most people work? It's not for money. There are very few people working with interest in reality.”
”So... George, Nat bring it.” Fred said with a smile.
”Ahem, by the way, when shall we take the Defense Against the Dark Arts class?” George gave a dry cough and changed the subject.
”Don't change the subject.” Fred dissatisfied.
”I didn't say that I would bet.” George protested, ”You misunderstood.”
”How can I get it wrong, we are twin brothers, what are you thinking, don't I know?”
”The first session of the afternoon is the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.” Angelina took out the class schedule from her schoolbag. ”However, I am a little worried that this professor will teach soon.”
”That's for sure. The smarter professor quit his job before finishing the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.” Albert said naturally. ”No one wants to get a curse and bring himself a bunch of bad luck.”
”What the **** is this curse?” Shanna asked curiously. ”do you know?”
”You want to know?” Albert gave a malicious smile. ”I've heard some rumors.”
”Let's talk about it, don't sell it.” Angelina urged.
”I heard it has something to do with mysterious people.” Albert whispered.
”The mysterious man put a curse on that position.” Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, ”You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing.”
”How did you know?” Li Qiaodan asked curiously.
”It's all rumors.” Albert pretended to be mysterious. ”There are still many rumors about mysterious people. Do you want to listen?”
”Let's talk.” Fred is also very curious. He knows that Albert has a wide range of friends, and it is not surprising that he will know a lot of messy things.
”Well, don't you guys don't tell the story.” Albert said pretendingly mysteriously:
”The mysterious man is rumored to have stolen Ravenclaw's crown.”
”It is rumored that a mysterious person can communicate with snakes. It is Slytherin's great, great... grandson.”
”It is rumored that mysterious people are immortal.”
”It is rumored that a mysterious person once opened a secret room.”
”It is rumored that the mysterious man once served as the chairman of the Slytherin student union.”
”It is rumored that the mysterious man was expected to take the position of Minister of Magic.”
”rumor……”
”It feels like you are getting more and more ridiculous as you talk.” Shanna interrupted, ”Go, don't be late. The morning herbal medicine lesson will be with the students of Hufflepuff.”
”Fifteen minutes left is enough.” Fred said without hesitation. ”We can still play the wizard card.”
