Chapter 530 The Troubles of Being Famous
At this moment, outside King's Cross Station, the Anderson family was saying goodbye before leaving.
“Are you really not going to take Tom to school?” Daisy asked again, this was the third time in these days.
His family members did not understand Albert's decision.
They all knew that Albert had some reason for fostering the fat cat Tom at his grandmother's house, but he seemed not to be prepared to tell everyone about the situation.
According to Daisy's understanding of her son, it is estimated that Albert saw something from the prophecy, so he made such a decision.
“No, let Grandpa Luke help take care of Tom for a while!” Albert said with a smile: “They told me last time that the neighbor’s house nearby raised a female cat. Maybe they can find a companion for Tom.”
Both old people like Tom very much, especially such a fat cat who can act coquettishly and cutely. He is also easy to take care of and is very suitable for accompanying the old man.
Albert stretched out his hand and pulled the fat on Fat Cat Tom's cheek, and said, "Don't make trouble, don't cause trouble, you know?"
"Meow meow!"
Tom screamed in dissatisfaction, seeming to protest Albert's atrocities, and retracted his head back into the car.
This semester is rampant. Albert naturally does not want to let his cat go to school to take risks. In case it runs out and encounters a snake monster, it will cause a bunch of trouble.
“Okay, now that you’ve decided.” Daisy kissed Albert’s forehead and warned, “See you during the Christmas vacation, and please pay attention to your own safety.”
“I will.” Albert gave Herb another hug, and finally looked at Nia.
“Remember to write to me.”
Nia kissed Albert on the cheek, hugged him again, and reminded: "Protect yourself well and don't be deceived by girls' flattery. They like your fame more than they really like you."
“He must be hiding something from us.” Nia muttered quietly as she looked at Albert’s leaving back.
"It's normal. Albert has grown up and will always have his own little secrets. Nia will also have her own little secrets, right?" Herb smiled and put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said: "Let's go back! "
“In the past, Albert would never hide anything from me.” Nia murmured: “She must be looking for a girlfriend in school.”
“Albert is also old enough to find a girlfriend.” Daisy said with a smile, “Do you want him to be alone all his life?”
"So, he is really looking for a girlfriend, right!" Nia said with a gloomy face: "Many girls like to find famous boys as their boyfriends, which will make them look good. A simple person like Albert, It’s easy to be deceived by those girls.”
Daisy and Herb looked at each other, and they had to admit that Nia's words made sense.
Albert had no idea that his parents had revealed to Nia that he was looking for a girlfriend.
At this moment, Albert was looking around, looking for the house elf who was hiding him.
Since the Malfoy house elf could accurately block Harry outside the station, he must have ambushed him at the station entrance in advance.
Actually, Albert's incident was a coincidence. It is estimated that only in the plot of the novel, everything could happen by chance.
However, until Albert pushed his luggage through the wall that separated platforms 9 and 10 and appeared on platform nine and three-quarters, he did not find the hidden house elf.
The scarlet steam locomotive was puffing out smoke, and there were many wizards and witches on the platform who came to send their children to the train.
As Albert was pushing his luggage across the platform, he noticed something that made him unhappy.
The title of International Wizard Chess Champion was more troublesome than Albert expected. He finally experienced the treatment of Harry Potter.
Honestly, the feeling of standing under the dazzling spotlight is really annoying.
Albert unknowingly quickened his pace and pushed his luggage into the car, but the situation did not improve. Many people leaned out of the carriage just to take a look at him. There were also many people walking back and forth outside his carriage. There was even a bold girl who tried to come over and hook up with Albert. In the end, he used the excuse that there was already someone here. Declined.
“Sorry, I have a girlfriend!”
Seeing the girl who refused to give up, Albert could only use a murderous weapon to make them retreat.
“Sorry, give me a moment.”
A familiar voice sounded outside the carriage. Lee Jordan, who was wearing a hat, pushed through the crowded crowd, and under the astonished eyes of many girls, entered the carriage that they wanted to enter, and slammed the carriage door.
"Congratulations, our youngest international wizard chess champion." Seeing the helplessness on Albert's face, Lee Jordan couldn't help laughing: "I didn't even have to look for you just now, I knew where you were. .”
“How was your summer vacation?” Albert changed the subject.
"Definitely not as interesting as you. Fred and George said you were going to the United States, but you ended up going to France and winning the International Wizarding Chess Championship. To be honest, when I saw your news in the newspaper, I was really scared by you. Jump." Li Jordan did not forget to raise his hand and wave to the girls outside, and asked with a smile: "How does it feel to be surrounded by a group of girls."
“Don’t be silly, they like me just because I’m famous.” Albert didn’t care about Lee Jordan’s teasing.
"What's wrong with being famous! I also want to be the international wizard chess champion. Many people dream of it, so don't complain about it." The envy on Li Jordan's face suddenly disappeared, "By the way, we can Cooperate and sell your photos or autographs, I think those girls will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to buy them."
"If you dare to do that, I will hang you on the top of the Hogwarts tower." Albert said with a smile.
“Don’t be angry, I was just joking.” Lee Jordan coughed and quickly changed the subject, “By the way, where is your fat cat?”
“I didn’t bring it.” Albert said in a low voice, “Some bad things may happen this semester, so I’m not going to bring it to school.”
“Something not very good.”
"I don't know." Albert shook his head and said, "However, I have a hunch that it will probably be related to Potter."
"Why don't you say it's related to our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Speaking of which, this semester's Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook is really expensive." Lee Jordan picked up "Walking with Ghouls" in front of Albert. , couldn't help complaining: "I really don't know what they are thinking, nearly forty galleons."
“Of course that’s what I think.”
"No!" Lee Jordan immediately understood the meaning of Albert's words, "If that's the case, why would Dumbledore find that kind of person to be a professor?"
“Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is not that easy to find.” Albert reminded, “Especially after Quirrell died in the dungeon last semester, it is estimated that no one is willing to try the power of that cursed position.”
“Even if we really can’t find anyone, we can’t do this!” Lee Jordan complained.
"Dumbledore should have his own reasons for doing this." Albert speculated.
"The Fred family is in dire straits." Lee Jordan muttered. "It's about one hundred and fifty Galleons. Even if you buy all the second-hand books, it will cost a lot of money. What's more, Lockhart's second-hand books are not Easy to find.”
“They also have a younger sister who is also going to Hogwarts this year.” Albert corrected her.
“I suddenly looked forward to what Fred and George would think of Lockhart.”
"Probably you will sympathize with Lockhart!"
“I think so.” Lee Jordan glanced at Albert secretly, suddenly feeling that Lockhart was so unlucky.
