Chapter 32 Albert’s trick of cheating
The weather on Sunday was not very good, it was still raining outside the castle.
At seven o'clock in the morning, it was dawn. Albert, who had just washed up, covered his yawn, and was carried to the auditorium for dinner by his excited roommates.
"I really don't understand, what's so exciting about this?" Albert broke away from the twins' hands and straightened his robe.
“That’s Hogsmeade, the most fun place in Britain.” Lee Jordan said exaggeratedly.
“All of Britain?” Albert sighed softly. He felt that his thoughts were not on the same channel as the three people next to him.
On the way to the castle hall, the twins practiced the glowing spell as they walked. However, unfortunately, Filch hit him.
Then, the unlucky George was caught by Filch and taken to the administrator's office.
Filch happily took out a large roll of parchment from the desk drawer and spread it in front of him. Then he picked up a long black quill and dipped it in the ink bottle:
Name…George Weasley.
Crime…using random spells in the hallway
Suggestions… Penalty suggestions…
"Ahem, I just used the glowing spell because my vision was dim. You know, it's still early, and the corridor..." George opened his eyes and said nonsense, and the corridor he just passed had a torch.
"...wash the chamber pot in the campus hospital." Filch glanced at George, with a malicious smile on his lips, "It just so happened that the chamber pot in the campus hospital hasn't been washed all summer."
George's expression froze.
"You can go now. It's best not to let me see you using magic in the corridor." Filch smiled victoriously and drove George out of the administrator's office.
"Pfft!" After hearing what George said, Albert couldn't help laughing. He reached out and patted George's shoulder, comforting: "Don't worry, I can teach you a very simple descaling spell to clean the chamber pot or something. Yes, it will be solved soon. Moreover, Filch only has suggestions for punishment. In fact, he cannot punish you directly. "
"That guy is really annoying." George glanced at the door of Filch's office. He seemed to be in a very bad mood. No one wanted to wash the chamber pot.
"Don't be depressed, I'll treat you to a cup of butterbeer later." Albert couldn't help but want to laugh again, and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, tell me what you just saw in Filch's office?"
"What did you see? There are a lot of drawers in there, and there are handcuffs, shackles and other things hanging on the wall behind the desk." George complained after thinking about it carefully, "That old guy, no, the old pervert must have some weird quirks. "
In fact, Albert felt that the "old loser" Hagrid chose might be more suitable for Filch. After all, as a squib, he was indeed as useless as a loser at Hogwarts.
Ordinary people should stay in the world of ordinary people and enjoy the happiness of ordinary people.
However, he did not express this idea. After all, it was not a good idea to give someone such an insulting nickname.
"What else?" Albert asked again, "He must have confiscated a lot of things!"
“Yes, I did see a filing cabinet drawer that said: Confiscated supplies, highly dangerous.”
“I guess all the items he confiscated were put in there.” Fred’s eyes shone, and he seemed to be very interested in the contents of the drawer.
"If it was really highly dangerous, it wouldn't be placed in that place." Albert thought of a good thing, the Marauder's Map of Hogwarts, which should be placed there.
"Yes, we feel the same way." The twins looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"You shouldn't think...don't get caught." Albert warned, "Otherwise, you will definitely be in trouble."
The twins protested together: "You are slandering. How could we do that?"
“Hi, good morning!” a boy greeted the twins as they passed by.
"I remember you seem to be from Hufflepuff..." Lee Jordan couldn't pronounce the boy's name for a moment, and looked at Albert for help.
“Cedric Diggory,” the boy introduced himself.
“Hello Cedric.” The twins greeted their neighbor, “I didn’t expect you to enter Hufflepuff.”
“I don’t think Hufflepuff is bad.” Cedric didn’t like people saying bad things about Hufflepuff.
“We didn’t say anything bad about him.”
“It’s just that Gryffindor is better.”
One sentence for each of the Weasley twins.
"Long time no see, Albert." Another person came over and greeted Albert, "I didn't expect you to enter Gryffindor. It really shocked me."
“Long time no see, Gabriel.” Albert smiled and greeted his pen pal.
“Do you know each other?” Cedric Diggory asked doubtfully. He had a good relationship with his senior.
"Of course we do, we met during the summer vacation." Gabriel showed a mysterious smile to Digory, "The one I told you about..."
Cedric Diggory looked at Albert with very surprised eyes. He had heard Gabriel mention that incident himself, but he never mentioned the person's name.
After Gabriel walked away, the twins looked at each other and said in unison: "Could it be..."
“What is it?” Li Qiaodan has not yet reacted.
The twins looked at each other and said, "That thing!"
“Which thing?” This guy still didn’t react.
“Ahem, it’s good to know, remember to keep it a secret!” Albert coughed lightly, otherwise I won’t give you a Christmas gift during this winter vacation.
"We will keep it a secret." The twins said meaningfully, crossing their index fingers to their mouths to indicate that they would keep it strictly confidential.
“Hey, don’t exclude me, you three bastards.” Li Qiaodan was very unhappy and felt that he was excluded from this small circle.
“Ahem, newspaper, do you remember what we talked about on the train when we came to Hogwarts?” Fred reminded.
“Fifty Galleons.” George reminded.
“Wow, that happened!” Li Qiaodan immediately understood what was going on, “How did you do it in the first place…”
"I don't want the whole school to know about this." Albert raised a finger to his mouth to shut up the three of them.
“Okay, but you’re so good!” The Weasley brothers still admired Albert’s methods. It would be great if they could easily earn 25 Galleons.
"No wonder you were willing to gamble all the galleons you got." Lee Jordan said sourly.
"You don't necessarily lose." Albert curled his lips and said, "Do you know why wands made of redwood are so popular among wizards?"
“Can it bring luck?” George said uncertainly.
"Yes." Albert continued to cheat, "At that time, I had a hunch that I might be able to make a lot of money by betting, so I took the gamble."
