Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 693 Interests Are Motivation
Rain pattered on the window panes.

Fred drew back the curtain and looked out of the window, feeling that his mood was as unbeautiful as the weather outside.

Since facing the pressure of the owLs exam, everyone's life is not easy... Well, that bastard Albert is a special case, whether he needs an exam or not, that guy has always had a good life.

It's not like they not only have a lot of homework that can't be finished every day, but also need to spare a lot of time to practice magic.

Ugh!
The gap between people is really bigger than the gap between humans and dogs.

Fred felt that Albert's words were always very reasonable.

hateful!

He had to concentrate and finish the homework on the desk before going to bed.

I really don't want to do my homework!

"what is this?"

Fred looked away from the window, stared at the parchment on the table for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking.

"Safe house."

"Safe house, what's that?"

George also came over and looked at the parchment with Fred.They can understand the floor plan of the house and the spells marked on it, but they are still confused.

"You can think of it as a safe hiding place." Albert lowered his voice, "I'm looking for more ways to hide a house better, like the one on the eighth floor, so people can't find it It’s even harder to get in, but it’s not easy, once the exact location is known, wizards have many ways to find it.”

"The Honesty Detector, or the Dark Arts Detector?" George asked without thinking.

"Yes, so the most important thing in this kind of place is concealment. Then, use a spell to make it untraceable and unmarked on the map. Any tracking spell, including owls, cannot find its specific location. There needs to be strong magic protection to ensure that the wizard who enters needs to use a special method to enter. As long as you hide inside, you don’t have to worry about being found by the enemy.”

"Well, it's the so-called secret base, right!"

The two came to such a conclusion with limited thinking.

In fact, the Gryffindor Chamber of Secrets they had been to last time was such a place.

"I think according to your approach, coupled with a place where the birds don't shit, you don't have to worry about being found by others." Fred felt that Albert was thinking too much.

Yes!

As long as it is not exposed, who will run to a place where the birds don't shit to find some secret base.

"You'll find out later that it's still far from safe."

Since the crisis of the basilisk was resolved, Albert began to prepare for the Second Wizarding War.

He never expected to kill Voldemort in the bud.

Resurrection will definitely be resurrected again.

When the time comes, just find a safe place to hang around, and wait to lie down and win the benefits.

Next year's Triwizard Tournament, Albert will definitely participate. He is sure that the task rewards generated by the Triwizard Tournament must be very rich. It is impossible to give up, and there is no danger during the period.

Crouch Jr. disguised as Mad-Eye?
Albert is not worried at all, he has plenty of ways to arrange for little Crouch.

As for the issue of Voldemort's resurrection, Albert is even less worried. As the final boss, even without the help of Pettigrew Peter and Barty Crouch Jr., Voldemort will definitely be able to incarnate as a noseless monster. crawl out.

This is Albert's confidence in the big boss.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering if the golden cauldron of the Potions Tournament in the School of Magic is gold-plated." Albert muttered softly, "I don't know if there is any bonus for winning the championship."

"I think it should be gold-plated." George said uncertainly, "This kind of award is usually very stingy, just give a title."

"Was your last Wizards Chess championship trophy gold-plated?" Fred asked curiously.

"I'm sure it is, otherwise Albert wouldn't complain about whether the golden cauldron is gold-plated." George couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "As long as the bonus is given, the trophy must be gold-plated."

The corners of Albert's eyes twitched. He said casually just now, and the two of them kept talking. Is this to find an excuse for not wanting to do homework?
Just as Fred and George complained about how many prizes in the prize showroom were not gold-plated, Lee Jordan finally came down from upstairs.

"What are you doing in the dormitory? Did it take you so long to find a book?"

"No, you'd better go back to the dormitory to have a look. Didn't Albert say he didn't receive any birthday presents in the morning? Someone sent those gifts to the room." Lee Jordan signaled the three of them to go back to the dormitory.

The three looked at each other, packed up their homework, and hurried back to the dormitory.

"Wow, this amount is really amazing! Others don't know, and they think you have Christmas early." Fred couldn't help sighing when he saw the pile of presents on the ground as soon as he opened the door.

"Don't be silly, there are still several months before the Christmas holiday." Albert was also a little surprised, never thinking that he would receive a bunch of birthday presents.

He randomly picked up the package, glanced at the sender, and found that it was a gift from an old friend.

Ever since he had a house-elf, Albert would ask the house-elf to give some Christmas gifts such as woolen socks, woolen gloves or woolen hats to those older friends every year. He knew that the old people did not lack things, but The meaning of giving these wool products is obviously more flattering.

Of course, many of the packages inside were gifts from friends at school.

"You have a lot of friends."

Fred and George looked at each other and asked expectantly, "Do you need us to unpack the package for you?"

"You guys help me test it with the honesty detector." Albert pointed to his drawer, "Check first before opening the package."

"You're so cautious." Fred muttered, opening the drawer and finding the metal rod inside.

"I bet there are definitely half of them are books." George took the honesty detector and began to detect whether the package was enchanted or contained magical items.

In fact, what George said was right. Most people like to send books to Albert. They all know that Albert likes to read books. Obviously, there is nothing more suitable than sending this thing, and the price is not expensive. Still high.

After a while, the table was full of books.

"I think you will be able to open your own library in a few years." Lee Jordan looked at the pile of books, unable to suppress his desire to complain.

"I feel the same way. The books I received before add up to a shelf of books." Albert took out a small box from the suitcase, and when he opened it, there was a miniature bookcase with dense books on the shelf. .

In fact, George also gave Albert a copy of "The Witch's Potion" after he knew that Albert was going to participate in the Potions Tournament.

Fred's gift was a small box of magic candies, all of which they made themselves, and marked which ones had not been tested.

Lee Jordan's gift was indeed a large box of Bibi's multi-flavored beans.

Then, that guy unceremoniously opened the box of Bibi Multi-flavored Beans and shared it with the three of them.

Hermione's gift was a beautiful quill.

Isobel's is a gray scarf with no pattern, which is quite delicate, but it is a bit short, so she must have knitted it herself.

Katrina actually sent a copy of "Alchemy, Ancient Art and Science", and said in the letter that it was a gift from the hat, a very arrogant girl.

What surprised Albert the most was the gift from the United States. Catherine also seemed to know that he planned to participate in the Potions Championship and sent him a potion book of "Potion".

As for Daisy and Herb's gift is a brick-thick foreign dictionary, well, it is the language that Daisy and Herb are learning recently, and it is said that it took a lot of effort to get it.

Daisy also mentioned in the letter that Herb planned to visit the colony.

There are not many relatives who are willing to join the group. Most people have no confidence in cross-border investment. What's more, in a few years, the country will lose control of the colonies. Taking risks, except for Uncle Charlie, he heard Daisy say it was Albert's suggestion, thought it over and thought it made sense, so he put some pounds into it to express his support for Daisy.

After all, Charlie's current achievements are also inseparable from Albert's suggestion.Moreover, he also felt that Albert was very promising and had a vicious vision, so he would definitely not lose money. Otherwise, how could he possibly persuade Herb to fly halfway across the world to inspect the colony? It's not crazy.

"Is this believed?" Albert couldn't help feeling the power of money.

Next, it should be no problem to let the family leave the UK temporarily and live in the colonies for a while.
