Chapter 84 Birthday Gift
Recently, night tours at Hogwarts Castle have temporarily disappeared due to the unremitting efforts of administrator Filch.
Fred and George had no intention of testing Filch's patience.
Of course, the main reason is that the two of them are too busy and cannot spare enough energy to get up in the middle of the night for a night trip.
It's been almost a month since they entered school, and the freshmen's classes are gradually getting on track. Although they don't need to attend many classes every week, there is actually a lot of homework for each subject. Moreover, the two of them also need to find time to participate in Gryffindor Quidditch. Strange training.
There is no way, Fred and George cannot do their homework as fast as Albert. In addition to homework in various subjects, they occasionally need to take time to recite important theoretical knowledge and practice magic.
Transformation is a particularly difficult one to learn.
It took Albert's three roommates a week to completely master the trick of turning matches into needles and successfully pass Professor McGonagall's little test.
Compared with the busy and fulfilling life of the Weasley brothers, Albert's little life was undoubtedly very nourishing.
Albert could always complete his weekly homework in time, and it was even more difficult for him to memorize and memorize. As for practicing magic, there was no problem in this aspect. Even the most difficult transfiguration technique for freshmen to master, he was not able to do it. Causing trouble for Albert.
Ever since Albert joined the Transfiguration Club, he has become more proficient in the use of transfiguration.
Last time, Professor McGonagall had just finished teaching how to turn a stone into a tea cup. Albert only tried it a few times and he had completely mastered it.
Of course, Albert would always claim that he learned it after practicing for several days.
As for Quidditch training, Albert will also participate in "training".
However, I only go there once a week, and it's not for training, but to play Quidditch with fellow fans from the same college. While enjoying the game and flying, I can also strengthen my understanding of the rules of Quidditch.
Time passed quietly between his fingers, and Albert gradually fell in love with the campus life at Hogwarts. This feeling was very much like the college life in his previous life, doing what he liked and planning his future life bit by bit in the leisurely life. .
Except for the fact that there is no electricity, no Internet, no mobile phones, no music, no movies, and no computer games, the other places are quite interesting.
Especially after mastering the basic knowledge related to magic, I have become more and more skilled in using magic spells.
By the way, just now, Albert had initially mastered the summoning technique. Although he only summoned a blooming chrysanthemum, he successfully made the chrysanthemum bloom on the top of the wand.
"Finally successful?" Fred reached out and took the chrysanthemum, put it in front of his nose, smelled it and asked, "Can you conjure other flowers?"
“Of course, the orchids are in full bloom.” Albert quickly placed a few orchids on the table and whispered to himself, “With more practice, you should be able to create a large bouquet of flowers.”
“Awesome.” Li Qiaodan truly admired him. He knew that summoning was a very difficult magic.
“Look, your package.” George suddenly said.
Albert raised his head and saw an owl flying towards him. Fred and Li Jordan immediately helped move the food on the table to make room for the owl to land.
“Thank you for your hard work.” Albert touched Sheila’s back, opened the package and found two thick books inside.
Another gift was taped firmly to the package.
Both books are on economics. Grandfather Luke probably learned from Herb that his grandson was interested in finance, so he bought a book called "Principles of Economics" as a birthday gift. As for the other book, of course it was bought by Herb, and the book is called "The Nature of Finance."
“Wow, who sent you a cake? It’s so cute.” Angelina stared at the box in Albert’s hand, and her eyes lit up.
“Sent from home.” Albert picked up the card with a cheerful smile on his face. In fact, even if you don’t look specifically at the blessing words on the birthday card, you can still guess what is written in it.
The birthday card was written by Nia. In addition to the usual blessings, she also emphasized that she also had a share of credit for making the cake.
“Happy birthday.” Shanna immediately figured out what was going on and sent her blessings to Albert.
“Thank you.” Albert picked up a new knife and fork, cut the chocolate cake in the box into six pieces, and distributed them to several acquaintances around him.
Happy birthday wishes rang in my ears.
Alone Better Together.
Anyway, I have to go to class later, so it is obviously not convenient to carry this thing with me. If you put it in your backpack and get crushed, it will be a waste of the family's efforts, and the most important thing is that Albert has just eaten.
“Wow, you’re one year older, that’s great.” George joked as he ate the chocolate cake.
“If you were born twenty days earlier, you could enter school a year earlier.”
“Yes.” Albert disagreed with this and said calmly, “But it’s actually not bad to enroll a year later.”
No one among the people present could understand the meaning of this sentence.
"By the way, these two books shouldn't be your birthday gifts, right?" Angelina looked into the unpacked package and found that there were two thick books inside. The top one read "Economics" principle".
“Is there something wrong?” Albert looked at Angelina doubtfully and asked.
Angelina felt the corners of her mouth twitching, and the look in her eyes at Albert felt a little strange, and she knew what to say for a moment.
Why is this person in Gryffindor?
“Can I see it?”
“It’s up to you, just don’t break it.” Albert didn’t mind others showing it, but they wouldn’t be able to understand it anyway, let alone be interested in it.
The result was just as Albert had guessed. Angelina picked up the brand new "Principles of Economics" and flipped through two pages. She felt dizzy and couldn't understand what was written in it.
No, it should be said that she could understand every word, but she couldn't understand them all together.
“I really don’t understand why your family would send you this,” George muttered.
"It's just out of interest." Albert didn't intend to go further, but changed the topic and said, "Don't be too nervous. It's easy to get started with broomsticks."
“Am I the only one who can’t ride a broom?” Shanna murmured.
“Is the cake not to your liking?” Albert replied.
"No, no, I quite like chocolate cake." Zannah closed the Quidditch app and destroyed the cake in front of her.
Actually, Zannah couldn't help but feel nervous. She felt that she might be the only new student in Gryffindor who didn't know how to ride a broom, which felt bad.
