Chapter 390 Seeking Death
Albert opened his eyes amidst the whispers and found that his three roommates, who often slept in, were chatting enthusiastically about something.
“What the **** are you doing?”
Albert closed his eyes, stretched out his hand to cover a yawn, and vaguely touched the silver pocket watch on the bedside table.
"It's only half past seven." He asked inexplicably. "It doesn't have to be so early to go to Hogsmeade, right? Or are you too excited to sleep?"
“Are you really not going to Hogsmeade with us today?” Lee Jordan reminded again, “The girls are counting on you to introduce Hogsmeade to them.”
"Isn't this you?" Albert sat on the edge of the bed, put on his slippers, and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash up. "I won't join in the fun, and don't tease Tom, be careful he scratches you with his claws. "
“Who did you date?” Fred counted his galleons happily, while George next to him was recording the items they needed to buy.
"A beautiful girl, are you satisfied?" Albert said angrily.
“Who, who is that beautiful girl?”
“Guess it yourself!”
While Albert was brushing his teeth, he suddenly heard Lee Jordan's screams coming from the dormitory. Apparently, it annoyed Tom who was sleeping, and he was scratched by the cat.
"If you don't seek death, you won't die. Why don't you understand?" Albert shook his head gently and washed his face vigorously with a wrung towel. The cold water washed away the remaining sleepiness in his mind, making Albert I woke up completely.
After returning to the room, he saw Lee Jordan cursing and checking the scratches on his arm. Fred and George were gloating and joking from time to time.
Tom has left his nest and is lying on the enhanced cat climbing frame that Albert made for him, yawning with his mouth wide open and squinting at the three cats below.
“You are such a fat cat, why can you move so quickly?” Lee Jordan muttered, “This is not normal at all!”
"No matter how fat a cat is, it is still a predator." Albert opened the window, the sky was gray, and a cold wind blew in, making several people in the room shiver.
“It’s going to rain!” he said.
"It won't rain if you don't tell me, and close the windows." Fred couldn't help complaining. He felt that if it really started to rain later, it would be Albert's fault.
“Stop talking nonsense, maybe a little wind will help clear your heads.” Albert bent down and started to prepare breakfast for Tom.
Even though food rations have been controlled, Tom still has a tendency to gain weight. The only thing that makes Albert happy is that Tom is much stronger than before.
It no longer gained weight, but began to grow flesh.
Albert stroked Tom's smooth hair and comforted himself.
"If I don't come back in the afternoon, Carla will come over later to prepare lunch for you. You are not allowed to steal food or run around in the castle. If I see you making yourself dirty, I will detain you. One month's worth of dried fish." Albert ordered verbosely. The food given to Tom was now rationed, and every meal was measured with a brass scale. He was even laughed at by three roommates for this.
"Meow!"
Tom stared at the brass scale with hostility in his eyes. It also tried to destroy this annoying thing that restricted its own food rations, but failed, and its daily food was still strictly controlled.
“Remember not to run around!” Albert warned again before following his roommate downstairs to the common room.
Tom can already walk sideways in the Gryffindor common room. Everyone knows that this very fat cat is Albert's pet. In addition, Tom himself is very cute and is loved by the girls.
Albert once suspected that the reason Tom gained weight was because the Gryffindor girls fed him food, even though he once told those girls not to do that.
On the way to the restaurant, they met Professor Quirrell again.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor always wanders around the fourth floor like a ghost. Everyone says that Professor Quirrell is there to prevent students from breaking into the restricted area on the fourth floor.
Albert sneered at this. He knew why the other party was always wandering on the fourth floor.
After Professor Quirrell saw Albert, he quickly turned the corner and stayed away from Albert, the humanoid question machine. He had had enough of the endless tricky questions.
“Professor Quirrell doesn’t seem to want to meet you!” Fred said playfully, patting Albert on the shoulder.
“Stop fooling yourself.”
“He definitely doesn’t want you to ask any more questions.”
“If I were asked like this by you every day, I would also take a detour when I see you.”
A few people went downstairs playfully, and after entering the foyer, they suppressed the smiles on their faces.
There is no other way. Anyone who encounters the administrator with a gloomy face holding a cat will take the initiative to stop smiling and stay away from him.
Filch was in a bad mood. He didn't like the students of Hogwarts going to Hogsmeade, because every time the students came back, there would be a lot more annoying people in the school who liked to throw big dung eggs. , which will always increase his daily workload and bring him a lot of trouble.
Just as I was about to have breakfast, drizzle began to fall from the sky above my head.
This kind of weather is quite common during the rainy season in October, but the bad weather ruined everyone's good mood when heading to Hogsmeade.
After all, you can’t take a good stroll around Hogsmeade after it rains.
“Speaking of which, which girl did you date? We don’t even know that you have found a girlfriend?”
The topic turned around and returned to Albert.
Li Qiaodan didn't say that he envied Albert for finding a girlfriend, but he was just curious and wanted to tease Albert about it.
The girls next to him put down the food in their hands and turned their heads to look over. They were also very curious about this matter.
“Katrina?” Fred guessed.
Probably when she heard someone calling her name, Katrina turned her head and looked over.
To be honest, most students at their age are still in a state of ignorance about so-called love. They may have a crush on a certain girl, but they have no concept of love.
“No, eat your piece of bread.” Albert glanced at Katrina, then turned to look at Li Jordan, who was particularly fond of gossiping. Seeing that he was not ready to shut up, he took a piece of quick bread and stuffed it to her.
Lee Jordan kept his mouth shut and continued eating his breakfast, lest Albert try to shut him up.
The girls were all disappointed and wanted to know who Albert's girlfriend would be?
“Are you really not going with us?”
After eating, Fred asked again before leaving.
“I still have to wait for someone, so you can go first!” Albert declined politely.
"Look, I said he must have found a girlfriend without telling us. Hum, don't hide it because we will definitely know who that beautiful girl is..." Li Qiaodan suddenly shut up, tongue Glued to the roof of his mouth and unable to speak, he was carried away by Fred and George.
As for the girls, they don’t need Lee Jordan to introduce them to Hogsmeade.
Filch and his cat were by the oak door of the entrance hall, signing in the Hogwarts students who were about to leave school.
In a short period of time, Mr. Administrator also caught two junior students trying to follow Hogsmeade.
After most of the students left, the administrator rolled up a long piece of parchment, tapped it on the palm of his right hand, and stared at Albert dissatisfied. Then, he coughed hard, as if to signal Albert to hurry up and sign and get out.
Albert pretended not to hear.
“I hope I didn’t keep you waiting too long.”
At half past eight, Isobel appeared in the foyer on time. This beautiful girl seems to have taken some time to dress up. She has a princess hairstyle and is very beautiful.
"The time is just right!" Albert took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time, "Very punctual."
The two looked at each other for a while.
Albert smiled and said: "Then... let's go?"
They signed Filch's signature and walked towards the school gate together.
