Chapter 181: New people (1/2)
Things went smoother than Albert expected.
However, this time there is no panel task, which makes Albert very surprised. In the past, when encountering such things, the panel task usually appeared first. How did it feel a bit...uncomfortable?
Albert stopped in front of the portrait of the fat lady and checked the task panel. As expected, there was still only the damned task of collecting gold.
”Do you want to go in?” The fat lady who was waiting impatiently couldn't help but ask.
”Oh, sorry. The password is: singer.”
After Albert gave the order, the portrait of the fat lady turned away, revealing the tunnel hidden behind.
As soon as Albert walked into the common room, he heard someone calling him.
It's George.
He was watching Fred and Lee Jordan play the Wizard Card at the table.
”How is it?” Albert asked.
”George and I became batsmen, Angelina became a pursuer, Wood is the goalkeeper and Charlie is the seeker.” George said, ”The other two seekers are Danny and Paris.”
”As expected.” Albert headed.
”Alia Spinnett was selected as the alternate pursuing hand, along with Katie Bell in the first grade, and Cormick McLagen as the alternate goalkeeper. Of course, you must also include your unreliable Seeker alternate.” George couldn't help asking, ”How is your side, what is Dumbledore asking for you?”
”The last time. But, Mr. Hertok agreed to help me solve the problem.” Albert explained casually, turning his head to the girl next to him, ”Congratulations, you got your wish, Angelina.”
”Thank you.” Angelina said with a smile, ”However, I didn't expect you to go.”
”There are other things to be busy.” Albert said.
”Alia is flying well.” Angelina pulled her friend and said, ”Unfortunately, if she goes to practice together last semester, she will definitely become a full-fledged player this year.”
”Practice more this year, and you will be able to play next year.” Albert paused, then came: ”I remember Katie Bell seems to be a girl. It seems that Gryffindor chasers will be long. The girls have been playing for a while. I dare say that this is absolutely an extremely rare situation.”
”Indeed.” George nodded in agreement, ”Don't be time, everyone is on the court, but you are still waiting.”
”Isn't that good? You can be lazy.” Albert joked: ”However, I know some people expect to be waiting for a long time.”
”Who?” George asked.
”Cormac McLagen.”
Albert noticed that when he mentioned the name, he cast his eyes towards this side, and Albert turned his head and looked at Cormac McLagen.
”Why?” George asked puzzledly.
”Stupid!” Albert reminded quite speechlessly: ”Wood will be the next Quidditch captain. His goalkeeper position is estimated to last until graduation, so there is actually no need to choose an alternate. However, Charlie probably wants to leave a stand-by just in case, to prevent the incidents of last year from happening again.”
”It makes sense.” Fred suddenly said, ”Would you like to have a game.”
”Okay!” Albert said, ”However, my card is in the dorm.”
”I didn't talk to you, you go and stay with me again.” Fred waved his hand at Albert with a disgusting face: ”Now, no one wants to play cards with you anymore. Go aside. Develop more cards, and there are still too few cards.”
”The next day, I will make one myself.” Angelina took the card handed over by Lee Jordan, ”This game is much more interesting than Gobish, but the card is a bit rougher.”
”Well, it's still in the initial stage after all.” Albert asked, ”Do you want to join the Wizard Card Club?”
”What is that?” Angelina was a little surprised.
