Chapter 557： pits all over the ground

Chapter 557 The ground is full of pits

"Are you really going to use this book as the championship prize in this wizarding card competition?" Lee Jordan looked at the "Magical Me" handed to him by Albert, and looked up speechlessly and asked, " I would venture to say that this has to be the most unpopular championship prize of all time.”

“It’s valuable, it’s signed by Lockhart!” Albert reminded with a smile.

"Signature? As long as it is a book written by Lockhart, he will be willing to sign it." Fred curled his lips disdainfully, "I think this champion would probably be more willing to take ten galleons instead of this book. Broken book.”

"Could it be that you didn't want this book as a prize in the Wizarding Card Competition?" George looked at Albert with a strange look on his face, "I remember you wrote this book for Lockhart. Let’s get the prize after a poem!”

At this moment, the three of them all looked at Albert with strange eyes.

"No, this is a prize kindly provided by Professor Lockhart after he knew that I planned to use his book as the championship prize." Albert said with a smile, "That is to say, this time the champion will not only have ten galleons, but also... Received a copy of "Magical Me" courtesy of Professor Lockhart, autographed."

The corners of the mouths of the three people twitched slightly, which means that this book was obtained from Lockhart for nothing. He is indeed Albert!

None of the three had anything to say. Maybe the girls would be interested in Lockhart's book?

"By the way, how is your contact there?" Albert casually changed the subject.

"Dad has already contacted us. You also know that there is a way there, but the price may be high. The reply should be within the next few days." Fred and George looked at each other and said in unison.

"But is this really good? It is estimated that a large amount of galleons will be invested, and it will definitely not be profitable to put into production now." Lee Jordan said a little irritably, it would be a good thing how the Wizard card can be officially put into production, but if If they can't sell it, they will definitely lose money, and they don't have much capital.

"Do you think I am a person who likes to lose money?" Albert smiled and reassured, "We will definitely be able to make money, don't worry, after all, this is a unique business, and this is not about asking the price first, nor immediately Put into production.”

Although Albert is very confident, and they are also very confident in Albert, they still have no psychological confidence after all!

In the end, several people could only believe in Albert's arrangement, although the Weasley twins preferred that Albert spend his limited Galleons on the research and development of joke props.

 After chatting about this matter, the three of them went back to the dormitory to get their homework and prepare to go to the library together.

Hermione suddenly came over and discussed with Albert the magic spell Lockhart used in the book "Walking with Trolls".

"Didn't you ask Professor Lockhart for advice?" Albert looked at Hermione in confusion.

“Professor Lockhart thinks I should be left alone…”

"No, no, Professor Lockhart may be right, but it will waste a lot of your time." Albert interrupted, "I think you should consult Professor Lockhart, at least better than before." It would be more appropriate to ask me, wouldn’t it?”

Hermione felt that what Albert said made sense. If there was no one to explain the knowledge in the book, it would be difficult to learn it.

"You can join other girls." Albert reminded kindly, "It is best to form a Defense Against the Dark Arts Club, and then invite Professor Lockhart to give you professional guidance. It is not difficult to see from the book that the professor is very good. He is good at dealing with dark magic and dark creatures, and even if it is just verbal guidance, everyone can benefit a lot."

"That's a good idea." Hermione nodded, and then heard Albert say, "If Lockhart is unwilling, you just need to invite Harry into the club, and Lockhart will definitely be willing to help you."

 “I understand, thank you Albert.” Hermione ran away quickly.

 “You shouldn’t do this.”

 After Hermione walked away, Harry and Ron came to Albert's side, but his face looked very gloomy.

Harry didn’t want to be dragged into the “Lockhart-worshiping club” by Hermione at all.

"Professor Lockhart has done many great deeds. He must be experienced in fighting black magic and dark creatures. As long as he can reveal some experience, you can benefit a lot." Albert said with a smile.

Harry's expression froze. Hearing Albert praise Lockhart so much, although it sounded reasonable, it still felt very unreliable.

 What kind of person Lockhart is, Harry has fully realized in this month, and to be honest, he doubts Lockhart's great deeds. After all, most Muggle books are fictions made by their authors. Who knows if Lockhart’s many great books are also fictions made by him?

"Harry, do you want to join us?" Hermione hurried back, holding a notebook in her hand and looking at her two friends, "We are..."

Just when Albert was thinking about how to escape, Fred, George and Lee Jordan came over with homework and gave him a perfect assist.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first, and you can continue chatting." Albert said to Hermione: "If you need a badge, you can come to us and we can give you the cost price."

 Speaking, Albert and his roommates went to the library.

"I always feel that that guy has bad intentions." Harry muttered quietly as he looked at Albert's leaving back.

"I heard from Fred that Albert is very good at defense against the dark arts, and their dueling skills were all taught by Albert." Ron suddenly said, "I saw them use wands to duel during the summer vacation. , it’s really awesome.”

"Didn't you say you can't use magic outside of school?" Harry thought again about the warning letter he received from the Ministry of Magic, and he suffered a lot because of it.

"As long as there are other wizards in the magical world, the Ministry of Magic will not be able to figure out who is using magic." Ron reminded: "I remember telling you about this before."

"Oh, that seems to be the case." Harry became even more depressed. He didn't want to talk to Hermione about Lockhart. Now that he saw Lockhart hiding, it was too late. How could he be willing to take the initiative to get closer? Isn’t that asking for trouble?

"Is Albert really that powerful?" Hermione looked at Ron curiously, trying to get an answer from him.

"It's amazing." Ron said quietly, "Remember last semester, when Albert scared the **** out of Malfoy with just a few words?"

"I remember that Albert seemed to have made a prophecy for Malfoy, and what did he say." Harry was very happy that the two of them turned the conversation to Malfoy.

“By the way, did that prophecy finally come true?”

"have no idea."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. None of the three could remember what Albert had said to Malfoy, and the topic could no longer be discussed.
