Chapter 62 Gamekeeper
“Albert, are you okay?”
At lunch time, Zannah sat down next to Albert. She was still brooding over the fact that Snape had inexplicably deducted a point in the morning.
"It's okay, what's wrong?" Albert skillfully spread a large amount of mayonnaise on his sandwich, then added sliced tomatoes, two slices of fried bacon, and finally a cold sausage. Cover with bread slices.
“By the way, you can still eat it.” Zannah asked in a low voice, “Did you offend Professor Snape somewhere?”
“No.” Albert said without thinking.
In fact, even if there is, he will not admit it. The answer will only be no.
"I know this." George, who was holding a piece of pie in his mouth, smiled and took a bite and said, "This has to start two days before the start of school. At that time, we were wandering in the castle and happened to meet Snape, Albert went and asked Snape if he could take a picture."
When talking about this, George wanted to laugh.
"Yes, yes, I still remember, that's what happened." Fred next to him added, "Later, Snape said he would ask Albert about it in Potions class."
“Is that why those things happened in the morning?” Shanna said in surprise.
“Snape didn’t let Albert get frustrated, so he changed the method.” Li Jordan continued the topic, “That’s why our potions professor gave Albert extra homework after class.”
"Ahem, what you said is wrong. What do you mean by making me weak?" Albert coughed and said seriously, "Professor Snape thinks that I have a good talent for potions and is going to give me special care. This will train me to the level of potions, don’t you think?”
"Yes, yes, we just made a slip of the tongue." The twins quickly corrected themselves, with an expression that said that's right.
Shanna was also amused by the words of several people, but she still asked suspiciously: "Is there any problem with your thesis?"
“It’s nothing, I’m writing one article and two articles.” Albert said easily, “I’m going to go to the library later and seize the time to finish the two papers.”
"Merlin's Beard, you actually plan to go to the library to do your homework after eating. Isn't there still a long time for us to complete our homework?" Fred, George and Li Jordan all looked at each other in disbelief. Looking at Albert, they all wondered why Albert was in a hurry to do his homework.
"It won't take long." Albert took a big bite of the sandwich, chewed it slowly and swallowed it: "Besides, it's best not to squeeze all the homework together, so that you can have free time to do it. other things."
"You don't mind if I write with you later!" Shanna next to her blinked and said, "It will be faster for two of us to find information together."
Perhaps, for Albert and Zannah, who come from Muggle families, it is a habit to finish their homework as soon as possible.
Brothers Weasley and Li Jordan hurriedly stayed away from the two of them, for fear of contracting a terrible disease that would kill them if they didn't do their homework immediately.
All right!
In fact, they were afraid that they would be dragged along by Albert to do their homework.
There is obviously still so much time, why rush to finish it now?
"We can't go into the woods." Albert couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He would not take risks easily before he had the power to protect himself.
"We didn't say we were going into the woods." George said with a smile, "That's what you said."
"You dare to say you haven't thought about it." Albert snorted angrily, but he knew that the twins would be frequent visitors to the Forbidden Forest in the future.
"That's right. Well, I mean walking around. Anyway, there are still some parts of the castle that I haven't been to." Fred Chao quickly changed his words.
"We didn't plan to go into the forest, so we went over there to take a look. I remember there was a small cabin on the edge of the forbidden forest over there." George added immediately.
Albert looked up at the roof. It was cloudy. Well, he could go out there to eat.
“Okay!” he agreed.
“Then let’s set off!” The twins held up Albert’s shoulders, one on each side.
“Wait a minute, the sandwich is about to fall.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll hold it for you!” Li Qiaodan smiled and took the sandwich.
"See you at two o'clock!" Albert said hello to Shanna, and then the three of them walked out of the castle.
There is indeed a small cabin at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
As they walked towards the hut, they found the gamekeeper working on a mink skin outside. Beside him, a black hound barked in their direction.
The hunting ground guard raised his head and looked at the four Alberts walking around and said: "You guys, don't wander around here. There are terrible werewolves in the Forbidden Forest. Not many guys who go in can come out safe and sound. I I don’t want to help you collect the bodies.”
Albert raised his head to look at the barking black hound, took out the chewed sausage from his sandwich, and shook it in front of the black hound.
“He’s so big!” Li Qiaodan muttered. Although he had met the other person once, he was a little afraid of Hagrid. After all, the height and dress of the person in front of them really... gave them a great sense of oppression.
"Are there really werewolves in the Forbidden Forest?" Albert was not afraid at all and walked towards the other party. If he hadn't learned from books that Hagrid had a pretty good personality, he would never have had the idea of contacting the other person after seeing his appearance.
Fred pulled Albert's arm behind him and left quickly.
Albert glanced at them speechlessly, okay, he admitted that his courage lies in cognition.
No way, this hunting ground guard does look a bit scary. He is at least 15 feet tall, has a fierce, rough, bearded face, and is wearing a patched animal skin coat. He looks like The legendary barbarian would frighten many people if he walked around the city late at night.
Hagrid was also stunned when he heard this. He didn’t expect to meet someone familiar to him.
Albert took a bite of his sandwich, squatted down and waved the sausage in front of the black hound, and the original low barking gradually stopped. It waggled its tail and walked slowly towards Albert, put its nose on the sausage and sniffed it, then picked up the sausage in its mouth and ate it. The three people behind were a little stunned when they saw this scene.
Is this still a ferocious hound?
Hagrid was also stunned. He didn’t expect that his dog would be bought with half a sausage. By the way, this little guy is quite courageous.
