Chapter 562 New Discovery (2)
After separating from Hetok, Albert and Isobel went to the Three Broomsticks. Now that we're all in Hogsmeade, why would we miss a drink at the Three Broomsticks?
The bar is noisy and crowded, but it is also very warm, with a fire burning in the fireplace.
Albert caught a glimpse of Fred, George, and Lee Jordan who were drinking in the corner by accident. They were whispering together, and they didn't seem to notice him and Isobel.
Albert found a vacant seat, went to the counter and asked Ms. Rosmerta for two glasses of butterbeer. Although this is a bar, minors are not provided with alcoholic beverages other than butter beer.
Albert felt that the bar could actually sell some low-alcohol rum, which would definitely be very popular with girls. As we all know, girls' Galleons are far more profitable than boys'.
In Europe, however, most liqueurs are wines, and Ms. Rosmerta is clearly not selling wine to students.
Speaking of sweet wine, Albert thought of the glutinous rice wine from his previous life. It was one of the few wines he liked. It tasted like a drink, but it was not easy to store.
"What are you thinking?"
Isobel noticed that Albert was actually distracted while chatting with him, so he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
"There is a very good liqueur among Muggles, maybe let the house elves try to brew some." Albert said suddenly.
Anyway, the house elf didn't have much to do when he was staying in the manor. Finding something to do for him could better mobilize his enthusiasm, and he also believed that the house elf would be happy to master another skill.
"Is the rum delicious?" Isobel was very interested in the rum Albert said.
"Well, it's a bit like a drink, you'll like it." Albert had already figured out how to get the glutinous rice, and I believe Mundungus would be willing to help him get it.
After drinking, the two walked around Hogsmeade and bought Nia a birthday present before returning to Hogwarts Castle.
Before leaving, Albert did not forget to remind, "There may be an accident in the castle today, remember not to run around."
"Understood, you should also be careful."
Isobel felt very strange, but he didn't plan to run around. There must be some reason for Albert to say that, maybe he predicted something again.
If he was a student of Gryffindor, he would probably be ready to die long ago after hearing what he said.
As soon as they returned to the common room, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan appeared without warning.
"Failed!"
Fred said straight to the point: "However, Mr. Zuko is very interested in the wizard card, and it seems that he intends to cooperate with us."
"That's a pity." Albert was not at all interested in this unequal cooperation.
"You seem to have guessed it a long time ago?" George raised his eyebrows and looked at Albert a little depressed.
When they went to Zoko, they were completely ignored. That guy was extremely arrogant in some ways.
At least, all three of them think so.
"No money, someone will help you." Albert rolled his eyes at Li Qiaodan, not shying away from this point.
Most people are profit-seeking, not to mention Zuko himself is a businessman, and it is strange how many people he would care about if he asks him for advice and does not give him any benefits.
"Okay, don't worry about it." Albert said with a smile, "Zoko won't want a similar store to compete with him, so it's normal to have a bad impression of you. If your store becomes popular in the future, maybe His shop is going out of business."
"So it is."
The three of them were still a little depressed, and felt that if Albert went, the situation would be better.
"Okay, be happy. I'm going to attend the Halloween banquet later. Didn't you say there is a skeleton dance troupe?" Albert took out candy from his pocket and stuffed it into the hands of several people.
The Halloween dinner started at seven o'clock, and Albert planned to take the time to write a letter to the thief Mundungus.
Of course, Albert didn't expect Mundungus to find the right thing in one go, but with enough Garen, he believed that Mr. Thief would be willing to help.
After all, money can turn ghosts around, not to mention asking people to help find something?
So, before seven o'clock, Albert and his roommates went directly to the auditorium. On the way, they met the Harry Potter trio. They left the crowd and walked towards the underground classroom.
"Where are they going?"
Lee Jordan looked at the backs of the three leaving, and asked suspiciously.
"Of course to attend the ghost banquet." Albert ignored the three of Harry and walked straight towards the crowded auditorium.
In the corner of the auditorium was a huge jack-o-lantern, and a large group of bats were flying around the enchanted ceiling. The most eye-catching thing was probably the stage in front, where a large area was vacated, and there was a floor The hazy fog blocked everyone's sight,
Many people looked over there, they knew that the Skeleton Dance Troupe was behind the mist.
Soon after, under the auspices of Dumbledore, the banquet opened with the singing of the Skeleton Dance Troupe, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Albert looked up towards the stage and saw a bunch of musical instruments on the stage. The wizard in heavy metal style costumes began to speak to adjust the atmosphere, surrounded by a large group of students like fanatical groupies.
It was indeed heavy metal music, and the sound echoed in Albert's ears. It's a pity that he just didn't have the ability to appreciate it. When everyone was shouting wildly, he cut the steak slowly and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I don't know why they are so famous." Shanna murmured softly. She was one of the few Gryffindor students who didn't come forward to watch.
"Probably the charm of music!" Albert glanced at the parchment in his hand. Ginny Weasley had disappeared from the map and had apparently entered the secret room.
"Do you believe this?" Shanna looked at Albert with a strange expression.
The singing lasted for more than a quarter of an hour. The Skeleton Dance Troupe sang three songs to the students before leaving the stage under everyone's reluctant eyes.
Others returned to their respective positions and enjoyed this exquisite banquet.
Probably the skeleton dance troupe attracted everyone's attention, but no one noticed that the savior Potter was missing.
The food at the dinner party was exquisite. After Albert was full, he began to think about a question.
The basilisk incident insisted that no one died from the beginning to the end. Is it an accident or intentional?
Does Tom Riddle really not know?
Many things really cannot stand scrutiny!
There are so many coincidences together, it is not a coincidence.
Also, Albert suspects that Tom Riddle must also have the human footprint spell, otherwise how could the other party accurately attack the target without being noticed by others?
"Damn."
Thinking of this, Albert is in a bad mood. He feels that he needs to master the advanced shielding spell as soon as possible, so that he can disappear directly from the map of the human trace spell. Only in this way can he ensure that he will not be specifically targeted.
If he uses an advanced shielding spell to block his own existence, it will be difficult for the owl to find him, and he has a lot of owl letters, so he can't give up contact with other people because of this, so he has to find another way.
