Chapter 223 A kid knows nothing about love
Three days have passed since the four people captured the jumping toadstool in the Forbidden Forest, and the correspondence between Albert and Dagworth continues.
In the morning, in the letter he received, Dagworth mentioned that the next time he met in Hogsmeade, he would be given instructions on how to make Baffy's brain-reviving potion.
Dagworth appears to have had his own house there. However, the Potions Master seemed to have forgotten that Albert was only in his second year and was not yet old enough to go to Hogsmeade.
At that time I will definitely have to sneak away to Hogsmeade again.
However, it’s a good thing to have someone to teach you, so that you don’t have to figure out how to prepare Baffy’s Brain Refresher on your own.
Putting away Dagworth's letter, Albert began to write a reply to the other party. Dagworth was far more wary of Buffy's brain-reviving agent than he imagined. Maybe this is what is called the more you know, the more wary you become.
However, Dagworth didn't know that for Albert, the difficulty of learning to prepare Baffy's Brain Refreshing Potion was almost the same as that of other ordinary potions. After all, there was no difference in the experience used to upgrade skills. The only difference was the cost of practice. expensive.
Even if he had the skills, Albert did not expect to succeed in one go, especially when preparing a medicine like Baffy's Brain Refreshing Potion, which did not allow for even the slightest mistake.
“What a mess.”
Suddenly there were voices outside the door, and the door of the dormitory was pushed open. Fred and George walked in one after another, followed by Lee Jordan who was holding a paper bag.
“Wow, what is this?”
As soon as the three of them entered the dormitory, they saw a large glass jar on the ground, with blue flames burning strangely inside.
"A kind of magic fire, I read it in a book two days ago. It's pretty good for heating." Albert turned his head and explained to his roommate.
"This thing is quite convenient. It is indeed the magic fire you like." Fred went to warm himself by the fire and found that this thing was very useful.
“That’s natural, this thing is waterproof.” Albert picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the hot milk tea. He looked at Fred and asked, “What did you just say is a mess.”
"Quidditch training." George replied dejectedly: "Charlie lost a lot of temper because of this. He seems to think we will screw up this year's Quidditch match."
"You need experience. Very few people can win from beginning to end." Albert comforted, "This year's Gryffindor team has undergone a major change. Apart from those true geniuses, accumulating game experience is an essential process. Win or lose. The key will be on the Seeker."
“Genius, you mean yourself?” Fred muttered.
“I didn’t say that.” Albert shook his head in denial.
“What kind of magic fire is this? Can you put it in a bottle like jam?” Lee Jordan was even more curious about the magic fire in the glass bottle.
“Do you know about Gubrai’s Immortal Fire?” Albert suddenly asked.
“Don’t tell me, this is the Fairy Fire of Gubuli?” George looked like you were kidding me.
“Well, I never said this thing was the Gubler Immortal Fire.” Albert shrugged.
"Tell me, what are you going to do with this thing?" Fred also took the initiative to change the subject and stopped talking about Quidditch.
Furthermore, they all felt that Albert would not come up with this thing out of thin air.
“Hand warmer.” Albert handed a silver metal tube to Fred. After the latter took it, he found that it was actually very warm.
“What’s the use of this thing?” Fred asked in surprise.
“It’s used for heating in winter. It works like a hot water bottle. I’m not sure how long the effect will last, but it should last more than a month.” Albert thought for a while and added: “It’s safe, reliable and guaranteed.”
The expressions of Fred and the three of them instantly became very exciting. They all looked like you are kidding me.
"Of course it was caused by the transformation spell." Albert opened the oil paper bag, which contained butter biscuits. He picked up the biscuits, took a bite, and continued: "The first thing you do when you join the Transfiguration Club is to transform yourself into a chair. It’s a ticket to the Transfiguration Club!”
“You’re the only one who can enjoy it.” The twins pulled Lee Jordan up and sat on it to experience the warm feeling.
"Of course, it doesn't matter who made it." Albert took the hand warmer from George's hand and said with a smile, "This thing is not completely finished yet, and it is a gift I prepared for someone else, so I can't I'll let you play with it."
“Is that someone else, Isobel?”
"What?" Albert almost choked on his biscuits and looked at the three people with strange expressions in astonishment, "Why do you say that?"
“Many people say that you and Isobel are dating?” George reminded.
"This is a birthday gift for my sister." Albert couldn't help rolling his eyes and asked angrily: "Also, who said I was dating Isobel?"
"Is it a rumor?" Lee Jordan looked strange, "Someone saw you and Isobel whispering in the corridor tonight."
"It's a rumor." Albert didn't want to continue this topic.
Although Europeans usually start falling in love very early, Albert can't help but wonder whether these three guys know what falling in love is.
In his words, a twelve-year-old child knows nothing about love.
“What’s that look in your face?” Li Jordan was a little unhappy with Albert’s kid-like look.
"It's nothing, I think it's too early to talk about love with you." Albert said angrily, "Besides, don't you think this is gossip?"
He and Isobel were actually just talking about the bet. Katrina was also present at the time. It was obvious that someone wanted to distort the facts. Journalists who like to gossip often do this.
His relationship with Isobel is still just about mutual acquaintance, and their friendship is not yet full, let alone love.
"Very early? It is said that Muggles reach adulthood at the age of sixteen." Fred said something that surprised Albert.
“You actually know?”
As far as Albert knows, the so-called coming of age ceremony is popular in England.
“Percy mentioned that he has a Muggle friend.”
“I remember you mentioned this last time.”
“The girl came of age before the summer vacation, and soon after that she slept with a Muggle she knew. Percy was depressed about this for the entire summer vacation.” The twins revealed information that shocked Albert.
“How did you know?” Albert frowned.
"We took a peek at Percy's diary." Fred said with a playful wink at Albert.
"It's not a good idea to peek into other people's diaries." Albert sternly criticized, "It's not interesting or funny at all."
“We were just taking care of our family.” Fred raised his hands and swore, “Really, we’ve never done it again except that one time, and we can’t read French.”
Having been in the same dormitory for so long, the three of them all know that Albert can speak many languages, and some things can even be recorded in other languages. Even if he deliberately peeks, he can't understand it.
As far as they know, several of Albert's letters were written directly in ancient magic script, and they would not be able to understand them even if they were shown them directly.
Albert looked at the Weasley twins and felt speechless. He suddenly sympathized with Percy. It was unlucky to have such a younger brother.
