Chapter 329: Convincing people with virtue
As Fred said, this matter really spread around the school very quickly. Many people are speculating on how Albert added 100 points to Gryffindor House out of thin air, making Gryffindor House, which was originally at the bottom, jump to the first place at once, and made everyone unhappy. Slytherin was also pushed to second place.
Slytherin House is really not very popular. Their various tricks make students in other houses hate them and do not want to see them win the House Cup.
After this incident started to develop, many Slytherin students would point fingers at Albert and say some insulting words to him.
On this day, several senior Slytherin students stopped the four Alberts, yelled at him in front of him that he was a liar, and said a series of unpleasant words.
Fred and the others all had unkind expressions on their faces, and were ready to fight with these guys. They had been practicing their fighting skills for a long time, and their hands just happened to be itchy.
Other Gryffindor students will certainly not let the hero of their own house be wronged, and are ready to come over to join in the fun. They don't think it's a big deal. Anyway, this is not the first time they have had a conflict with Slytherin House.
The surrounding atmosphere is getting more and more heated, and the air is already filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and a fight may break out at any time.
Albert didn't pay attention to the atmosphere around him. He just looked at the person who just sprayed him with a very calm look and said helplessly: "Sure enough, you are still too young. When you hear a little rumor, you come here to scold me. It's really How reckless... Do you have any real evidence to prove that what you just said is true? Don't tell me that your so-called rumors are evidence? "
"I..." The Slytherin student was about to speak when Albert's hand landed on his shoulder at some point.
Albert sighed lightly, shook his head and said: "To be honest, you always spread rumors, and I am also very troubled."
Other people around started whispering.
"I also know that your brain is not very smart, but next time don't believe any rumors you hear. What you are doing now is completely mindless behavior. It really makes me wonder whether you are mentally retarded or intentional. Are you here to cause trouble for me?"
Albert glanced emotionlessly at a Slytherin student who wanted to interrupt him, and continued, "Honestly, I hate when others cause trouble for me, and I'm sure you don't like it either, right?"
The surroundings were eerily quiet for a moment!
"So, apologize for your gaffe just now." Albert said softly, "Otherwise... although I usually don't like to use violence, I still don't mind hanging you outside the castle. You can try it, I will say To do it.”
“Sorry!” The senior student finally chose to retreat after being stared at by Albert for a while.
"No exception." Albert patted his shoulder and said meaningfully, "Also, don't take it for granted after hearing some rumors. Doing so will make you look stupid."
Except for the Slytherin students, everyone else couldn't help laughing, but they soon stopped laughing, because Albert said very clearly that those who believe rumors are idiots, and here everyone Some people are obviously idiots.
"It's obvious that the exam is about to take place, so why do you still have time to pay attention to those rumors? Is it because I'm too busy, or because I have too little homework, why don't I focus on the exam?" Albert murmured to himself With that said, he didn't care about the others and walked directly towards the library.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan looked at the people around them strangely and hurriedly followed Albert's footsteps.
The Slytherin student who had suffered a series of blows was flushed red at the moment and almost exploded on the spot, but he did not dare to catch up and cause trouble for Albert.
He couldn't even imagine that he was actually suppressed by Albert's momentum.
Actually, this is related to the last battle between Albert and Smith. That kind of life-and-death fight made Albert's momentum very sharp.
He finally made up his mind to "kill people", so how could he be compared to other students?
However, the most unacceptable thing for most people was Albert's performance. He was not angry throughout the whole process, and just looked at him with pity in a very calm tone.
Looking at him with pity, it was the expression of a mentally retarded person.
Moreover, this is not just for the Slytherin student, but for most people. Those who believe in rumors easily are mentally retarded in Albert's eyes.
“Interesting, hahaha... It’s so interesting. How did you do it? I can’t do it anymore. My stomach hurts.”
As soon as they turned into a deserted place, Albert looked at his roommates who were laughing so hard that he suddenly didn't know what to say.
“Did you just notice the constipated expressions on those Slytherin students?”
What Albert said just now made them laugh. None of the three of them thought it could be like this. It was so interesting.
“Speaking of which, how on earth did you do it?” Fred wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and couldn’t help but ask.
"I just want them to listen to me." Albert said calmly.
“What if he doesn’t apologize?” George asked curiously.
"Of course I will keep my word and hang him outside the castle." Albert narrowed his eyes and said, "I will put him down after he is sincerely willing to apologize."
The three of them looked at each other in confusion. They originally thought they were just threatening, but they didn't expect that Albert was not joking just now.
They don't know that since ancient times, the word "conquering others with virtue" is not just a word, but refers to using fists to convince others.
This incident spread quickly in the school, but no one laughed at the Slytherin student. Everyone calmed down and thought about what happened.
After all, that matter was really a rumor in the school.
Although everyone said that it was Albert who gave Gryffindor points, there was no solid evidence. Even Albert himself said he was unaware of this matter.
Everyone actually knew it, spread it everywhere, and used it to make a fuss.
No wonder Albert would say that.
Just hearing some rumors and actually believing them to be true will indeed make you look weak.
No one will admit that they are stupid or retarded, so everyone shuts up.
But what exactly is going on?
There are always a few curious people who want to uncover this secret.
However, Dumbledore did not disclose any information, and Albert, the person involved, also stated that he had no knowledge, so there was no need to investigate the matter.
As for the special contribution award, no one really pays attention to it.
Everyone soon lost their mind to think about this matter, because the shadow of the exam had quietly fallen, and everyone had to devote more attention to review.
Albert also heard that due to the use of Baffet, this exam will be more stringent than the last time to prevent anyone from cheating by using Baffa.
Actually, nothing has changed at the Ministry of Magic. Because they simply have no way to monitor on a large scale whether anyone has taken Bafei brain-rejuvenating agent. Moreover, during this period, the Ministry of Magic was hyping up the dangers of Buffy's brain-reviving potion. The actual victim had just been discharged from the hospital not long ago, and had some not-so-good side effects. However, they never expected that someone would secretly use Buffy. A refreshing drug, and got good grades for it.
