Chapter 220： Pickle root? (1/2)
”It may rain later.” Fred raised his head and looked at the clouded ceiling above him, and said to the people sitting next to him.
”If I were you, I would have eaten the food on the plate while it was hot. It would not taste good when it was cold.” Albert was slicing the potato and egg pancakes on his plate with a knife and fork. The house elf moved the dish. Serve the students' dinner plates.
”I wonder, why do you hope it will rain later.” Angelina swallowed a large piece of bacon and looked at Fred with a strange expression.
The rainy season has lasted for a long time, and the rainy weather is really uncomfortable.
When Fred was about to answer, he was interrupted. Some students hurriedly came here and said to Albert: ”You are Albert. I have heard your name. Professor Smith asked me to give you this thing.”
”Thank you.” Albert knotted the note and nodded to the person who came.
”What's that?” Angelina asked curiously, ”Invitation letter?”
”Invitation letter.” Albert said, scanning the contents on the parchment. ”Professor Smith invited me to his place for tea.”
Several people around looked at each other. If someone else said this, they would not believe it, but Albert was different. He was invited to have tea by the professor. He was a frequent visitor. He often encountered this kind of thing last year.
”It's enviable.”
If there are not many students who can receive special treatment from professors at Hogwarts, even the chairman of the student council may not be treated like Albert. This is not only good grades, but also requires a strong relationship.
While talking, an owl flew towards Albert and threw a package in Albert's arms, temporarily diverting everyone's attention.
Albert picked up the package, glanced at the sender's name, and guessed what was in the package.
Dragon Claw Powder, the raw material Albert bought from the drugstore in Diagon Alley.
A while ago, he spent ten gallons to buy a pint (568ml) of Dragon's Claw Powder from the pharmacy, and now he has the two most difficult ingredients to make Buffy Brain Rejuvenant.
”You are really welcome.” Alia's tone was strange. While they were talking, two more heavy letters were thrown in front of him by the owl, and Albert took them and stuffed them into the pockets of the robe.
”Your pen pal?” Shanna asked.
”Old friend.”
”Literally.” George explained for Albert.
The girls at the table were stunned, and did not react for a while.
”I have to go, and I will have afternoon tea later. If it rains, you will wait for me in the common room.” Albert reminded me before leaving, ”Remember to finish homework first. ”
”I always think that guy is mysterious.” Shanna looked at Albert's leaving back and couldn't help muttering, ”He seems to have hidden a lot of secrets.”
”Who knows?”
”I heard that he made a Ravenclaw's girlfriend.” Alia said suddenly.
”We don't know when.” Fred and the others looked at each other, staring in disbelief.
”It's the genius of Ravenclaw.” Alia snorted in a certain direction and continued, ”Many people have seen them chatting together often.”
