Chapter 15： Wizards have a bit of a weird taste

Chapter 15 The wizard’s taste is a bit strange

"You...you really bet?" George Weasley swallowed and said, "That's 25 Galleons, just in case...in case..."

He never dared to say the words he guessed wrong, for fear that he would say it out loud.

"I believe in my luck and intuition." Albert said calmly, "If you don't give it a try, if you guess it right, you can make a lot of money."

“We don’t have money.” The twins looked at each other and shook their heads. The Weasley family is relatively poor, and even if the twins have some savings, they won't waste it on betting.

“Don’t look at me, I want to save some money to buy other things.” Li Qiaodan shook his head repeatedly. He just thought what Albert was doing was crazy, and if he really had the money, he would never use it like this. "

While the four of them were talking, the train had left London and was speeding along the pastures and fields.

Albert was reading the newspaper and listening to the three chatting about Quidditch. In this regard, he couldn't get a word in. Even if he knew the rules, he had to pretend not to know.

 After all, Albert comes from the Muggle world, and it is logically impossible for him to know these things about Quidditch.

“By the way, have you heard about Gabriel Truman?” George suddenly mentioned what happened a while ago.

“Nutley was almost fired from the Ministry of Magic,” Fred whispered. “Later, he personally went to apologize to Gabriel Truman, and the matter was settled.”

“I heard about it too. However, my mother said Rita Skeeter’s article was not credible.” Li Jordan said, “That woman likes to exaggerate the truth.”

"Most newspapers are like this, but the content always needs to be true." Albert said, closing the newspaper. As one of the culprits of all this, he naturally knew what happened.

"I had been to Truman's cubicle before and heard him talking about this matter with others. He said that he met a new student at Hogwarts who was practicing magic during the summer vacation, and then I received a letter inexplicably, saying that he had been fooled by Hogwarts. Gwartz is fired," Fred said suddenly. "At that time, Dumbledore and a person from the Ministry of Magic came to the door. The person from the Ministry of Magic had a very bad attitude and didn't even give an apology, so he..."

Albert raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It can only be said that Westerners are more open-minded. He had reminded Truman about keeping it secret, but he had obviously forgotten it. However, he did not tell his story.

 Albert’s soul is after all an Oriental, and the modesty and reserve in his bones have not disappeared, and he doesn’t like to be ostentatious.

"By the way, do you know how the school is divided into schools?" Albert changed the topic.

“I don’t know, my family didn’t tell me.” Li Qiaodan shook his head and said.

"Percy said there was a test." George said a little annoyed. "They are always reluctant to tell us. They think it is a fun thing."

"How is the life of a wizard? Would it be interesting?" Albert thought for a moment and then said, "When I received the letter, they were all surprised. My mother didn't even welcome Professor McGonagall. She was worried I couldn’t find a job after graduation.”

“That’s not true, our eldest brother has graduated.” The twins said in unison.

 “Bill works for Gringotts in Africa.”

 “Where is your father?” Albert asked knowingly.

 “He works at the Ministry of Magic.” The twins looked at each other and said in unison.

“I think after I graduate, I will probably stay in the Muggle world.”

"Why?" the three asked in confusion. In their opinion, this was something that was difficult to be straightforward about.

“I came to Hogwarts mainly to learn magic and master how to use magic. Professor McGonagall said that if you don’t learn magic, magic may get out of control in the future.”

“But in the Muggle world, we cannot use magic at will, and we cannot let Muggles know the existence of magic, otherwise we will get ourselves into trouble.”

 “By the way, what do you want to do in the future?”

 “I don’t want to work at the Ministry of Magic.”

"Me too." The twins looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"It's good to be a Quidditch player. Charlie became the Quidditch captain of Gryffindor this year, but it's a pity that he can only join Quidditch in the second year." George said regretfully.

 “I didn’t think about it well.” Li Qiaodan said.

 “What about you?” All three people looked at Albert.

 “Me? Find a job that is easy and easy to make money.”

"Is there really such a job?" The three people couldn't help but look at each other again. If there was such a job, they would also want it!

"There should be, I'm looking for it." Albert said with a smile. He was curious when the twins came up with the idea of ​​opening a joke shop.

"If you find it, remember to tell me." Li Jordan patted Albert's shoulder seriously and couldn't help laughing.

"You don't mind if I take a picture of you." Albert took out his camera and said.

 “Take pictures?”

“Yes, my family wants to know about things in the magical world.” Albert asked the three of them to sit together and raised his camera to take a few pictures of them.

“Why don’t the photos move?” Li Qiaodan raised his hand and poked at the photos, probably trying to make them move.

"Muggle photos won't move." Albert explained, took the photo and took a look at it. He was quite satisfied with it. "It seems that my skills have improved a bit."

“What’s the point of a photo that doesn’t move?” The three quickly lost interest in the photo.

 Towards noon, there was a noise in the aisle of the train.

 After a moment, a witch pushed open the compartment door, poked her head in and asked, "Honey, do you want to buy some food?"

 “I want a serving of Bibi’s multi-flavor beans.” Li Qiaodan said that he had brought his own food. The twins also brought sandwiches, but they didn't have much money, so they didn't buy anything.

“Give me some of all the food.” Albert said to the witch with a kind smile.

 Having just seen Albert's huge gamble, the three of them were already numb to his lavish way of spending money.

 For this, Albert paid a galleon and bought a pile of things on the table.

“I dare say that your family must be very rich.” Li Qiaodan muttered.

“They’re not very rich either.” Albert opened Bibi’s multi-flavor beans and ate one, which was bean sprout-flavored. “They are all lawyers.”

 “What is that?” None of the three understood Muggles.

“You also think people who litigate cases for others are people who legally exploit legal loopholes.” Albert thought for a while and said.

“Legitimately exploiting legal loopholes.” The three of them were a little confused after hearing this. What does it mean to legally exploit legal loopholes? Can it be legal to exploit legal loopholes?

What kind of cool operation is this?

“Tell me what kind of food these are.” Albert made a gesture of invitation. He didn’t want to eat something incomprehensible. Wizards’ tastes were a bit strange. Moreover, this is an opportunity. Things like friendship still need to be managed and maintained.
