Chapter 374 Smart tricks

Time flies in a busy time. After entering the third grade, there are more and more homework, more and more difficult, and more and more demanding.

However, for a time thief like Albert, the heavy homework did not bring him pressure, and his life was very comfortable.

After a few more hours a day, it is very important how to arrange time reasonably, otherwise it is easy to stay up late and make yourself very tired.

It is best not to exceed five hours a day, this is Isobel's reminder to Albert.

However, Albert didn't pay much attention to it. For him, it would be a good idea to go back to the past through the Time Converter when necessary, and go to the Room of Requirement to sleep.

In short, although he has more classes every day than others, Albert also spends more than 24 hours a day, and has more time for rest and homework than others.

The only small problem is that the life expectancy will be half a year shorter than originally estimated, but Albert doesn't care much about such small things.

After all, most wizards live far longer than Muggles. Dumbledore is the best example, having lived for a century. As long as he doesn't get sick and die for no reason, Albert believes that he must be more able to survive than Dumbledore.

After all, the old man lost his life shortly after Albert graduated from Hogwarts.

This is a really sad story.

Just returned to an hour ago through the time converter, Albert is going to take his cat to the kitchen, say hello to the house elves there, and ask them to help take care of Tom if they are free.

As soon as he came down from the boys' dormitory, Albert was blocked by Fred, George and Lee Jordan.

"Albert."

"Your prophecy has come true."

"It's incredible that your words have come true."

"Harry Potter has really become the house team's Seeker."

The three of you talked to each other, which made Albert a headache.

Fred and George took strange steps and surrounded Albert. Tom, who had followed Albert down the stairs, hurriedly hid aside.

Then, one of them took Albert's arm and started to circle him.

Having said that, these two guys are really strong, how could they lift him from the ground like this?

"Stop, stop, I'm almost dizzy from you."

Albert felt nauseous, that's how he felt when he first tried Apparation, it was very bad.

When he came back to his senses and realized that his feet were off the ground, he couldn't help but look in a certain direction, glaring at Lee Jordan who secretly cast a levitation spell on him, he said how could Fred and George lift him up so easily? stand up.

"Enough, I'm about to make you spit out." Albert struggled hard, trying to get rid of the twins' arms.

"Guess how Harry joined the team." Fred smiled and let go of Albert's arm.

"I do not guess you guess guess."

Albert felt a little nauseous, he reached into his jacket pocket, took out a pack of dried fish, and stuffed it back.

"Come, eat some multi-flavored beans!" Lee Jordan took out a bottle of multi-flavored beans from his pocket and handed it to Albert.

"Thank you, I don't want to eat any more inexplicable things." Albert flatly declined, and began to take out a box of chocolates from the leather bag he carried, opened the package and fished a piece from it. This box of chocolates is Bought for pounds left over from a last family dinner, and a few more boxes, not too expensive.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

The three immediately surrounded and reached out to take chocolates from the box.

Lee Jordan unwrapped the package and took a bite. While chewing, he muttered, "Chocolate in the Muggle world is not bad either!"

Albert took a big bite, glared at the three and complained, "Enough is enough for you!"

"Give me another piece."

"I also want."

"Give me a piece by the way."

"Well, if you like, this is the Christmas present." Albert suddenly said to the three.

"OK!"

"As expected of Albert."

Unbeknownst to the three of them, Albert was already preparing to give each of them a piece of super bitter dark chocolate. "

"The skin bag of the deformed lizard is really a good thing!" Fred chewed the chocolate in his mouth, watched Albert put the box back, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Fred, don't change the subject." George pushed Fred away dissatisfied. "What hasn't Albert said yet? That question just now."

"Yeah, how do you know?"

"What else!" Albert looked around, looking for Tom, and said, "It must be approved by Professor McGonagall or Principal Dumbledore."

"However, I guess it's the former." Albert bent down and hugged the reluctant Tom, walked towards the entrance of the common room, turned back to the three before leaving, "Professor McGonagall was also a Quebec Geek lovers."

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Three more exclamations.

"As expected of Albert, he even guessed this!" Lee Jordan exclaimed.

"What Wood told us just now, you didn't even see his expression." George remembered the captain's reaction and couldn't help laughing, "It's like picking up a big bag of Galleon halfway."

"Wood said that the first time Harry rode a broomstick, he could dive fifty feet and grab a memory ball." Fred followed the others out of the common room, secretly watching Albert's reaction while talking. Then he opened his mouth and said, "Is there any scratch on the flesh?"

"He thinks Harry might be more talented than you." Before Lee Jordan finished speaking, Fred and George patted his back hard.

"I'm not that stingy, and I don't care about these things. Harry Potter can replace me. In fact, I knew it a long time ago. It is really thanks to him that I can get rid of Wood's clutches." Albert shook his head with a smile Said, "For me, flying on a broomstick is more about enjoying the fun of flying. When I get tired of riding a broomstick in the future, maybe I will get a flying motorcycle, bicycle or flying carpet."

"Forget it, flying carpets are banned," Fred interrupted. "Our grandfather had an Axminster pile rug that could seat twelve people. I remember when I was a kid. When I was young, I sat on a flying carpet and flew around my grandfather's house."

"If you don't tell me, no one will think you're dumb." Albert glared at Fred. Of course he wouldn't go for a flying carpet. It's too obvious. At most, he would get a motorcycle or a bicycle. Give it a makeover.

It's quite emotional to think about a bicycle riding over your head one day.

Well, it’s called a land, sea and air all-in-one bicycle.

"Are we going to say hello to Harry and go together?"

"No, I'm going to take Tom to the kitchen to let him meet the house elf. If Tom gets lost in the castle one day, I'll be more at ease with the house elf looking after me," Albert said. The purpose of going to the kitchen by myself.

"Are you too unconfident in your cat?" Lee Jordan couldn't help complaining, he always felt that Albert's cat was just for display.

"That can't be helped." Albert said indifferently, "Muggle cats are usually more delicate and not smart enough."

"Fat enough, right!"

"By the way, let me tell you, I found a new secret passage that can lead to the outside of the school." Lee Jordan said suddenly, "Would you like to go there together and see if we need it next time? Follow that passage."

"I guess we must have discovered what you said a long time ago." Fred and George grinned, "If you don't believe me, we can bet."

"It's a gamble." Lee Jordan unscrupulously took the chocolates from Albert as gambling money.

"It's so, we'll just use this." Fred and George looked at each other, and took out a few taffy from their pockets.

"Could it be the one from last time?" Lee Jordan thought of the toffee he ate on the carriage after seeing the taffy.

"No. Does Albert want to go together?"

"No, I'll see you later." Albert asked Tom to follow him. Ever since he was summoned by the Flying Curse, Tom left the common room and didn't dare to run around.

However, the fat cat Tom can't run very far, his physical strength is really poor.

On the way to the kitchen, many students saw Albert walking the cat. Although they all thought this scene was very interesting, geniuses always have something special.

Having said that, since Albert took Tom out for a walk, some girls would take this opportunity to chat with Albert, and Lee Jordan also envied the female popularity Tom brought to Albert.

There are relatively few Hogwarts students who keep cats. They usually keep owls. There is no way. Most students don’t really know how to take care of their pets. Owls are the most worry-free, and they can also help send letters and deliver things. A wizard's best friend.

When Albert went down to the fourth floor, he found that his Tom was too tired to walk, so he could only let Albert hold him in the end. Maybe walking such a distance is a kind of intense pressure for a fat cat. sports.

Of course, walking to the kitchen with a fat cat in his arms was also a challenge for Albert.

One person and one cat rested in the secret passage for a while, and then continued on their way. When they came to the picture of the big fruit bowl in front of the kitchen, Tom was already lying on the ground tired.

Albert stretched out his index finger and scratched the big green pear.

After the pear quickly turned into a green doorknob, he opened the door, picked up a pile of Tom lying on the ground, and walked into the kitchen.

"Sir! Mr. Albert Anderson!"

"Long time no see, Carla." Albert warmly greeted the house elf in front of him.

"Yes sir, long time no see, would you like something to eat?" Kara asked expectantly.

"If there is a pumpkin pie, please bring me one."

"It's a pity sir, I didn't make pumpkin pie today," Carla said sharply, her voice sounding a little frustrated that she couldn't help.

"It's okay, I'm not here to eat."

As he spoke, Albert took out the gift he had prepared for the house elf from his leather bag.

"Is this for me?" Kara said in disbelief.

"Yes, it's for you, I bothered you last semester. This is a gift I bought, but I don't know your house elves' tastes very well, I hope you like it."

"Sir is so kind, so kind!" Carla screamed, and then she bowed deeply to Albert, her eyes filled with tears again.

"Why don't you take it apart and taste it?" Albert said to the other house-elves, "Come here together, it won't take much of your time."

"thank you, sir."

"You are so kind."

The house-elf chattered words of gratitude.

"This is Tom, my pet cat."

Albert pointed to the fat cat and said, "It's a very stupid domestic cat. It often gets lost. I'm worried that one day it will run around in the castle and get lost. If you see it in trouble in the future, please let me know." Do reach out, and if it doesn't come back to the Gryffindor common room late at night, please help send it back."

As he spoke, Albert bowed slightly to the house elves to express his please.

"Oh, of course." The house-elf said in a hurry.

The house elves at Hogwarts had a good impression of Albert. After all, Albert respected house elves and never treated them as slaves.

Probably, most house-elves have never eaten chocolate, at least not chocolate given to them by wizards.

Seeing that the box of chocolates had been divided up and some house elves hadn't eaten, Albert took out another box, opened it and handed it to those house elves who hadn't eaten it.

The house-elf burst into tears on the spot.

"Eat slowly, then I won't bother you."

Albert took Tom up and was about to leave. Several house elves enthusiastically brought freshly baked pies to Albert, asking him to take some back to eat.
