Chapter 337 A few things before the holiday
That morning, Albert and others quietly returned to Hogwarts Castle on their broomsticks.
Although none of them got any treasure, this interesting adventure will always become a precious memory for the four of them. Perhaps, this is the so-called Gryffindor treasure!
In fact, Albert did not gain nothing. After using the food in the giant Dai Winch's crucible, he obtained a special skill that cannot be upgraded: the heart of the brave.
It was only after he saw the changes in the mission of Gryffindor's Secret Treasure that he noticed that he had this special skill. Although he didn't get Gryffindor's treasure, it wasn't a disadvantage to get such a special skill.
By the way, Heart of the Brave is indeed very Gryffindor. The effect of the skill is: when encountering difficulties, stay calm and face them bravely.
Albert was curious whether Fred, George, and Lee Jordan, who also used food from the giant Devinch's cauldron, also acquired this ability.
Of course, the three of them have no skills.
Unlike Albert, Fred, George and Lee Jordan were disappointed not to be able to bring the Sword of Gryffindor back to school, as they obviously hoped to bring Gryffindor the glory of the House Cup.
Perhaps, this is a land rich in heroes.
After all, Gryffindor House's points were surpassed by Slytherin House. Many Gryffindor students felt very regretful. However, few people thought about earning points for Gryffindor House. College Cup points.
Even if you really take the sword away, one day, the Sword of Gryffindor will disappear quietly.
This enchanted silver sword belongs only to Gryffindor.
When a Gryffindor student really needs it, the sword reappears, falling out of the Gryffindor's pointed hat.
So, Albert had never thought about the sword, and he was not prepared to tell his roommates about this guess.
The final exams are completely over, and there are still a few days left before the school holidays. The students who have finished the exams walked out of the sweltering castle in twos and threes, playing and chatting on the grass.
Albert and his friends were no exception. They got some iced pumpkin juice from the kitchen, sat on the picnic cloth that Albert had made, played wizard cards, and chatted about what they were going to do during the summer vacation.
“I miss my Tom a little bit.” Albert stroked Aaliya’s black cat and shared Tom’s photo with everyone with a smile.
“It’s so fat!”
Alia took the photo and couldn't help but said, "I don't want Winnie to look like that."
Just now she was still depressed about how her cat could be easily abducted by Albert, only to see him taking food out of his pocket and feeding it.
“Why don’t you bring it to school?” Angelina, who had just lost a game, asked doubtfully, “Also, are you sure you are raising a cat?”
"It seems... lack of movement." Shanna looked at the photo and said after a long time.
“Well, I tried to help it lose weight, but it didn’t work.” Albert said and looked in a certain direction. Many students were flocking to the castle. It seemed that something had happened.
"It seems like something happened. I'll go take a look." Li Jordan ran towards the castle. Several other people looked at each other, but no one followed, preparing to wait for Li Jordan to bring them news.
About fifteen minutes later, Lee Jordan came back with news.
"Kenneth Toler was found passed out in the toilet, like a ball of mud. It was done by a Slytherin student." Lee Jordan explained, "Do you still remember the Buffy Brain Refresher? It is said that it was The Slytherin student who drank the potion and was sent to the school hospital did it."
"Kenneth Toller brought it upon himself entirely." Albert shook his head, "He is too greedy."
“I wonder who sold the formula of Buffy’s Brain Refresher to Kenneth Toller.” Fred and George couldn’t help but rolled their eyes at Albert.
“I’ve reminded him a long time ago.” Albert said calmly.
“I remember that your bottle of Baffy Awakening Potion was drunk. How was the effect?” Shanna asked curiously.
"We didn't drink it. Albert fooled everyone with a simple trick. At that time, what he gave us to drink was an intelligence-enhancing potion. The guy resold the bottle of potion that day and made several times the profit. Long." Fred directly dug into Albert's background.
“That bottle of Buffy Brain Refresher is real. If that Ravenclaw boy knew about it, he would probably faint in the toilet.”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, envious of Albert's ability to make money. No wonder he had the money to hold a wizard card competition.
In the next few days, Albert spent a lot of time writing replies, and with the help of Isobel, he finished the pile of letters.
After returning home, there won’t be that many owls to help send letters, and Albert doesn’t want to tire out Snow.
At the year-end banquet, Slytherin House regained the House Cup. Fred, George and Lee Jordan were very unhappy. After the banquet, Dumbledore regretfully announced that Rowena Smith was missing. Of course, if the principal hadn't brought this up in advance, probably not many students would have paid attention to it.
Poor Rowena Smith is being forgotten, and even the Daily Prophet’s bounty on him no longer attracts that much attention.
On the morning of leaving school, the test results were finally announced, and Albert naturally won the first place in the whole grade. Fred, George and Lee Jordan all passed with high marks.
After receiving the notice that magic was not allowed outside the school, everyone grabbed their luggage and boarded the Hogwarts Express.
Albert, Fred, George and Lee Jordan occupied a separate cubicle, playing a few games of wizard cards and talking about the secret base.
"I haven't thought about it yet," Albert said honestly, "but I think that place will come in handy."
"Perhaps we could lure someone else to venture there," Fred suggested. "I kind of doubt anyone else would pass the Gryffindor test, though."
Fred and the three of them knew very well that a large part of the reason why they could pass the test came from Albert's help.
“Maybe he was eaten by the Acromantula before he found his position.” George said angrily.
"We could make some treasure maps," suggested Lee Jordan, "and hide them in some book that might be used..."
The four of them got together to discuss this possibility. Although many of the assumptions were difficult to put into action, they all had a great time chatting.
Before getting off the car, Fred and George invited Albert to play at their home. Albert thought about it and finally agreed. He was indeed a little curious about what the Weasley family was like.
It just so happens that I’m going to see Professor Brod this summer.
After leaving the station, Albert quickly found his family. Herb was waiting for him outside the car, and Daisy was waving to him from the passenger seat. When Albert walked over, he suddenly appeared at the car window. A big, squashed cat face.
“I’m eleven years old,” Nia muttered, wagging Tom’s tail.
"Meow!"
Tom retrieved his tail with his paws, jumped onto Albert's lap, and licked the fur on it.
"Hmm." Albert noticed the look Daisy gave him and said helplessly, "If Nia can't go to Hogwarts, will she hate me for it?"
The girl pouted, not wanting to answer the question.
She wants to go to Hogwarts to learn magic, but... there are various signs that she may not have that kind of magical talent.
“Mom, Nia actually hates me.” Albert said to Daisy who was sitting in the passenger seat.
“I don’t have one.” Nia said dissatisfied.
"That's good." Albert reached out and touched Nia's head and continued, "Actually, there are many restrictions in the magic world. I still need Nia's help with many things in the future."
“Yuck, don’t touch the lady’s head.” The girl muttered dissatisfied, “I’m already eleven years old, don’t treat me like a child.”
“You are just a child.”
"You too, don't speak in an old-fashioned tone." Herb said, "How old are you now?"
“Yes, you are only a few years old.” Nia immediately agreed, “Don’t always talk to me in that tone.”
"I am your brother."
