Chapter 725: Anderson Lies
The two had a candlelight dinner in the Room of Requirement and exchanged feelings together. They had no idea that the outside world was looking for them to go crazy.
During dinner, after Principal Dumbledore announced to everyone in the auditorium the good news that Albert had won the Magic School Potions Championship for Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall smiled from ear to ear, but she just didn't know. Why, the smile on Professor Snape's face looked a little forced.
To be honest, many people were confused at the time and had no idea what the Potion Championship was.
This matter only attracted everyone's attention after Professor McGonagall revealed that it was a potions competition that all magic schools around the world would participate in.
After all, that was the genius who defeated all the magic schools and finally won the championship. The gold content was too high. It basically meant that Albert Anderson was the best potions genius in all the magic schools. This also made this genius A halo was placed on the wizard's head.
Many students wanted to see Albert and listen to him talk about the Potions Championship, but he disappeared right after returning to school.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan all complained that Albert did not tell them the good news at the first time.
At this moment, the three of them were getting together, and they didn’t know what they were discussing.
It was already after ten o'clock in the evening when I separated from Isobel.
Albert met the almost headless Nick waiting for him at the entrance of the Gryffindor common room.
“Where have you been? I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time.”
"wait for me?"
Albert looked at the ghost in front of him and asked doubtfully: "What do you want from me, Sir Nick?"
"I've heard it all, you won another championship trophy!" Nick said excitedly: "Oh, by the way, Percy Weasley asked me to wait for you here and tell you the password."
“No, it’s not the championship trophy, it’s the championship crucible.” Albert corrected with a smile.
"it's the same."
“What’s the password?”
“Mongrel.”
“This is not a very friendly command.” Albert looked at the portrait of Sir Cadogan riding a pony.
"It's more interesting to keep the champion out." Sir Cadogan opened the door with disappointment and let Albert into the common room.
"Thank you, Sir Nick, otherwise I would have to spend the night outside the corridor tonight." After expressing his gratitude to Sir Nick, Albert walked towards the entrance of the open common room.
As soon as he entered the common room, Albert felt like he was being pulled in by countless hands, and he almost lost his balance and fell on his back.
Screams, cheers, whistles, and the whoosh and bang of fireworks immediately filled his ears, causing Albert to feel his eardrums ringing.
In the common room, the fireworks made by Fred and George were constantly blooming into beautiful orange-red stars. The scene was very beautiful and spectacular.
“Where were you just now?” Fred yelled.
“Everyone is looking for you,” George shouted.
“We’ve prepared something to eat, Albert, come over and have some—”
“I’m not hungry, I’ve just eaten.”
But no one wanted to listen to him. A cup filled with butterbeer was thrust into Albert's hand and he was forced to drink another glass of butterbeer.
Lee Jordan even dug out a Gryffindor House flag from somewhere and insisted on wrapping it around Albert like a cloak.
The crowd was closing in on him, surrounding Albert so that he could not escape and was forced to participate in the lively celebration. What's even more frightening is that these people keep shouting like irrational fans. Everyone wants to know how Albert won the potion championship.
“Quiet, please be quiet!”
Albert raised his finger to his throat and cast a loud voice spell on himself.
His voice kept echoing in the common room, causing everyone to cover their ears in pain before this group of crazy guys completely stopped.
"Well, if you want me to say something, at least keep quiet, otherwise you won't be able to hear my voice." After Albert finished speaking, all the students looked at him blankly. Common break The sounds in the room gradually became quieter, and Nearly Headless Nick was also eavesdropping.
He took the Thestral carriage to France and went to the magic garden through the portkey.
From everyone's point of view, the Potions Championship is a boring competition. All schools come from all over the world and cannot communicate at all. The competition team is extremely busy due to communication problems.
Then, he briefly talked about the three rounds of elimination and the boring potion making. The content was so unpretentious and boring that it made people sleepy.
Before other students could react, Albert sneaked towards the stairs leading to the dormitory, finally got away from everyone, and hurried upstairs to the dormitory to rest.
In the dormitory, Tom's eyes flickered in the darkness. After hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked up in the direction of the door and yawned widely.
After a while, Fred, George and Lee Jordan also came back. These guys also had a lot of cookies, candies, cakes and butterbeer in their hands.
“By the way, where were you before?”
“I went to have a big dinner with Isobel, a celebration dinner cooked by the house elves.” Albert threw the Gryffindor flag into the corner.
“The principal also prepared a celebration banquet for you in private?” the three of them asked in unison.
"You are overthinking it. I asked the house elves to help prepare it."
“Let me tell you why you don’t like the banquet we prepared for you.” The three of them looked at Albert with resentful eyes.
“It’s so crazy, it feels like I’m watching some rare animal.” Albert reached out and picked up Tom, put him on his lap and petted the cat.
“Tell us the details, I don’t believe the Potions Championship can be that boring!” George changed the subject.
"What I said is real."
“Believe it or not, you must have saved a lot of interesting things.” Fred said firmly, biting a piece of biscuit.
"Interesting thing?" Albert thought for a while and said: "The Potion Championship is jointly organized by the Magic Garden and the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association. The president of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association is named Bernard, and a certain player in France is named Guy. E. Bernard is said to be the grandson of that president, is this an interesting thing?"
“Cheating, absolutely cheating.”
“That guy named Guy Bernard didn’t win against you even though he was cheating.” All three of them felt incredible.
"Guy Bernard was attacked in the second round and had a large amount of Aliote leaves stuffed into his mouth. He laughed so much that he couldn't participate in the game and had to abstain." Albert shrugged He shrugged, "In the end, the furious President Bernard called a professional to deal with the attack, but after checking the wands of all the contestants, the murderer was still not found."
"how did you do that?"
"I was also attacked by a student from Wagadu at that time." Albert covered a yawn, "That guy was good at using wandless magic. Many people thought he attacked Guy Bernard, but that guy He never admitted that he did it.”
“You brought two wands?” Lee Jordan guessed the reason immediately. They all knew that Albert had bought other wands on the second-hand market.
"Those who have gone through strict inspection can only bring one handful. The clothes are provided by the event, and there are patrols nearby." Albert said, "Don't accuse me wrongly, be careful to sue you for slander."
The three of them still believed that Albert attacked the unlucky guy Guy Bernard. This approach of leaving no clues was too much like Albert's style.
If Albert is not willing, it will be difficult for you to catch him.
He did not let the three of them continue to discuss the matter. He took out a piece of parchment from his pocket and placed it on the table, trying to divert their attention.
"What's this?"
"The recipes for the last game." Albert reminded mysteriously: "They are all very interesting potions."
“I feel like these things are useless.”
After reading the formula on the parchment, the three of them all looked at Albert in confusion. They didn't understand what Albert meant. Love potions and vitality tonics were not uncommon. They had never seen protective potions, but the three of them didn't understand. They all doubt whether that thing is effective.
“You don’t understand, these things will definitely sell well in the future.” Albert briefly talked about the effects of three improved potions.
There was a brief silence in the dormitory.
After listening to Albert's words, the three of them fell into self-doubt. They really could not see the use of these potions, but why did Albert say that these potions would be valuable in the future?
Is this the difference between them and Albert?
This guy can always find ways to make money from various angles.
