Chapter 486： Slytherin heroes

 Chapter 486 The Heroes of Slytherin

“Albert, Albert, look over there and tell me if I’m wrong.”

The next morning, when Albert and his friends passed by the huge hourglass that recorded the Academy Cup scores, Lee Jordan glanced at the hourglass inadvertently, suddenly reached out to hold Albert, pointed to the huge hourglass of Gryffindor and said: "Why did our college fall to last place all of a sudden?"

“You read that right, we really came in last place.” George opened his mouth in surprise. They were about to defeat Slytherin House and win the House Cup again.

“Tell me, is it possible that the huge hourglass for the score is broken?” Fred raised his hand and tapped the hourglass twice.

"About one hundred and fifty points less." Albert raised his hand to stop Fred from trying to die, and calmly expressed his speculation: "It was probably last night when someone was wandering around the castle and was killed by Filch. He was caught, so our college was deducted a lot of points.”

"Do you know something? I remember you went out on a date last night. Could it be that you were caught by Filch?" Fred, George and Lee Jordan all looked at Ai Suspiciously. Bert. They didn't believe that Albert would be caught by Filch, but this guy definitely knew what caused Gryffindor to be deducted a lot of points.

"Well, last night, there were many students wandering around the castle." Albert spread his hands helplessly and said, "Okay, let's go and have breakfast."

"Aren't you angry at all?" Fred muttered: "We are finally going to defeat Slytherin again and win this year's House Cup."

"Don't be angry." Albert said indifferently, "Winning or not doesn't make any difference to me."

This morning is hopeless for the Gryffindors!

 In just one night, all hopes of Gryffindor winning the House Cup were destroyed.

All the Gryffindor students immediately went into a panic after discovering that their house had been deducted 150 points for no apparent reason.

How could their college suddenly have 150 points less than yesterday?

 What exactly happened last night?

　　Everyone was looking around for the reason, until Percy Weasley bit the bullet and asked Professor McGonagall, and finally found the reason why their college lost one hundred and fifty points in one night.

   You mean, Harry and two other students wandered around the castle at night, causing the college to lose so many points?

“Why didn’t you help Harry last night?” The three roommates were all complaining about Albert. Most of the students expected their college to win the Academy Cup.

"They were caught by Filch because of their carelessness." Albert said helplessly, "Sometimes, it's really not a question of whether to help or not."

This incident soon spread slowly in Hogwarts Castle.

 Gryffindor’s Quidditch hero, the famous Harry Potter, actually caused Gryffindor House to lose so many points.

 Harry, Hermione and Neville became the most disliked people in Gryffindor in just one breakfast.

 A certain Slytherin student who learned about this came to Harry, reached out and patted the savior on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, Potter, you have done us a big favor!"

 “We won the Academy Cup because of your contribution!”

More and more Slytherin students came to say hello to Harry Potter. They surrounded Potter at the dining table, applauded, whistled, and cheered, making him tireless. Finally, he was in front of McGonagall. With the help of the professor, Harry struggled out of the crowd and left in embarrassment.

 As for everyone else who looked at Harry Potter with cold eyes, no one gave him a good look.

“Do you care about the score?” Albert asked the three roommates around him after eating a piece of sausage.

“I just feel that it is not easy to defeat Slytherin and win the Academy Cup.” Lee Jordan muttered softly: “It feels very unwilling to be ruined like this.”

"Why are you unwilling? You haven't added many points to Gryffindor yourself." Albert calmly spread jam on the bread slices and said quietly: "If you really cared, you would have worked hard to help. Extra points for the academy. What’s more, I’m not depressed myself, so why are you depressed?”

 Lee Jordan was choked and speechless.

 “What are you talking about?”

　　After hearing these words, several hot-tempered senior students turned their heads and glared at the speaker. However, when they saw Albert, they were all stunned.

 “Do you think I’m not qualified?” Albert asked without looking up.

Although those people were very dissatisfied, they still kept their mouths shut.

If it had been anyone else, these words would probably have drawn the glares of other Gryffindor students, but the person who said these words was Albert.

Even though his words directly touched the most vulnerable parts of many students’ hearts, they had to admit that Albert was qualified to say these words.

 Albert can always add a lot of points to Gryffindor every year.

 You must know that most Gryffindor students are doing well without deducting points from their own house, let alone taking the initiative to add points to the house.

The students of Gryffindor are so dissatisfied. After all, the House Cup they are about to get is lost. Everyone is dissatisfied with the three unlucky people. Potter is under the greatest pressure and there is nothing he can do about it. Who What makes him most famous?

In the evening, Albert went to find Harry, preparing to ask him to get the invisibility cloak from him. However, he saw that Potter actually went to Wood to express his intention to quit the Quidditch team.

 In the end, of course, he was given a severe lesson by Wood.

Although Wood was also very angry, his mind was still not confused by the anger. If they lost Harry, Gryffindor might even lose the Quidditch trophy.

"Wood, would you mind lending me Potter for a few minutes?" Albert raised his hand to greet Wood.

 “Please!” Wood said angrily.

In full view of everyone, Albert took Harry to a deserted place.

"Okay, don't be sad, it's just a point deduction." Albert said, "You forgot to take the invisibility cloak away last night. Remember to go to my place to get it back later!"

 “Aren’t you angry?” Potter asked in surprise.

 At present, Ron is probably the only one in the entire Hogwarts Castle who would say this to him.

"Angry? No, I don't value the so-called Academy Cup as much as others. If you have that thing, you have it, and if you don't have it, you don't have it." Albert smiled and patted Porter's shoulder to comfort him: "If you can't bear it, If they gossip, keep a low profile and spend more time and energy reviewing their homework. Most students' memory in this area is not very long, and they will forget it in a week or two. At most, they will be in the next semester. You will completely forget about it.”

 After being comforted by Albert, Harry's mood improved a lot, but his situation still did not change.

There is no other way, I climbed high and fell hard.

 Sometimes it’s not good to be too famous.

 No matter where Potter went, someone would point fingers at him and say something insulting to him in front of Potter.

People, maybe they are all like this!

 This is the answer Albert finally came up with.

As Harry's accomplices, Hermione and Neville also had a hard time because they were not as famous as Harry. Not many students in the school knew them, but they could not avoid being criticized, ridiculed and insulted behind their backs.

At first, Hermione was still trying desperately to make up for the lost points from other professors, but every time she actively spoke or received extra points, she always got cynicism and malicious slander from behind.

 So, Hermione no longer showed her face in the class. She always lowered her head and studied silently.

If anyone among the three had the hardest time, it was undoubtedly Neville.

 At least Harry and Hermione still have friends to hug each other for warmth.

Since Gryffindor House was deducted a lot of points, Neville has really become a loner. Even his roommates in the dormitory no longer want to talk to him.

He could only endure it all silently, secretly shedding tears many times in the dead of night.
