Chapter 875: Taking the blame
Albert far underestimated the enthusiasm of Hogwarts students. The next morning, as soon as he showed up in the common room, he was immediately surrounded by a group of Gryffindor students, who all asked a lot of questions. The question made Albert very impatient, and he felt like there was a group of noisy birds chirping in his ears.
After finally getting rid of them and escaping from the common room, they saw Fred, George and Lee Jordan coming out of the common room with faces full of gloating.
“You can’t hide from others all the time.” Lee Jordan looked at the deflated Albert and tried to hold back his laughter.
George reached out and patted Albert's shoulder, comforting him: "In a few days, when everyone's enthusiasm subsides, I won't continue to pester you."
"You were very popular before, but now you have just become more famous." Fred suggested nonchalantly, "I think we can make some money by taking advantage of this wave of popularity. If you agree to let us sell you Signed photos, I bet a bunch of girls will be willing to pay for it.”
“If you really plan to sell photos, remember to leave one for me.” A voice came from behind them.
The four of them turned their heads and saw Angelina smiling and raising her hand to greet Albert: "Good morning, it's not easy to meet this warrior like you. They said you just came out."
With that said, Angelina reached out and touched her pocket, "Look at my memory, I forgot to bring my quill. Please remember to sign for me another day."
“It’s okay, I have a pen here, where are you going to sign it?” Albert smiled and took out a pen from his pocket and waved it in front of Angelina. Seeing Angelina's embarrassed look, the four of them couldn't help laughing.
"Actually, you should ask Viktor Krum for his autograph. My signature is worthless." Albert put away the pen.
"Didn't you go back to the dormitory last night? I heard that someone was waiting for you in the common room all night and you didn't come back." Angelina's gossip soul began to burn brightly.
"I went back at that time, and I went back with Harry." Albert explained, "Everyone was surrounding Harry, and it was normal not to notice me."
"No, it's definitely not normal. You are more popular than Harry. If you really come back to the common room, there is no way no one will see you." Angelina still didn't believe it.
"Don't be stupid, if Albert really doesn't want you to see him, do you really think you can notice him?" Fred knew Albert's character very well. This guy used Harry to attract everyone's attention, and then quietly He sneaked back to the dormitory, only to be punished the next day. As soon as he came downstairs, he was surrounded by everyone. He was looking forward to the scene when Albert entered the auditorium. It would definitely be very beautiful.
After a few people entered the auditorium, Albert once again became the object of countless students' attention, just as Fred expected. Fortunately, this group of people only had "three minutes of heat", otherwise Albert would have been annoyed to death by them.
But Albert had to face those people. If he couldn't satisfy their curiosity, he would probably not be able to avoid them tomorrow. Just like George said: You can't hide from others all the time.
This is the price of high-quality assignments.
This is also the price of being a warrior!
Albert suddenly felt jealous of Lockhart, who actually enjoyed being noticed.
"Sorry, I want to have breakfast. If you have other things to do, you can wait until I finish eating." Albert was made impatient and started to chase people away.
He knew that those people were just out of curiosity and didn't care how much trouble they would cause to others.
Albert suddenly felt that Fred’s attention was good. Maybe he should sell a bunch of signed photos and cut a bunch of leeks. There are a group of guys around him who are totally unworthy of sympathy.
In the end, Albert gave up. He was going to change his mind and get several other warriors to take pictures and then make them into limited edition wizard cards.
This idea was immediately approved by Lee Jordan, which will undoubtedly bring more popularity to the Wizard Card Club.
“I don’t like it, it’s very annoying.” Albert said with disgust: “They are just a novelty, just like animals in a zoo.”
"Your description is still as vivid as ever." Fred asked with a smile: "What are you going to do next? Are you going to sparring in the woods?"
“Forget it for today, there is still a tail following us.” Albert glanced at the girls who were following him furtively not far away.
“It would be very sad for them if they heard it,” said Lee Jordan. "They adore you."
"Come on, do you think I can't tell?" Albert said contemptuously: "They just want to find out my secret and then show it off to other girls, that's all."
“It should be...no way!” Li Jordan was a little unconvinced.
"Otherwise, what do you think?" Albert suddenly said, "Would you like to make a bet?"
“Let’s forget it, we will only lose if we make a bet with you.” The three of them shook their heads together, not even thinking about making a bet with Albert. This guy’s luck was pretty good.
“Well, then go and chat with them,” Albert found a seat in the yard and sat down. "Ask them if they want to find out my secret by following us, and then tell them that Professor Moody helped me sign up for the Triwizard Tournament."
“Is it really Professor Moody who helped you sign up?”
The three of them were all a little suspicious. The more Albert said this, the more suspicious they became.
Are you planning to trick Professor Moody?
"Everyone said this, so others naturally believed it." Albert said seriously, "Anyway, I believe Professor Moody helped me register."
Lee Jordan ran to talk to the girls, and after a while, the girls left.
It turns out that Albert's words are right. Those girls just want to know some secrets about Albert.
Now, they know.
“Is it really you who signed up for yourself?”
George dared to use his own dog head as a guarantee, it was definitely Albert who signed him up, and he was the cause of his disappearance.
"I just took advantage of the situation." Albert felt no guilt about cheating Professor Moody: "Someone planned to attack me and make me miss the Triwizard Tournament, so I just pretended to avoid getting into trouble again, by the way. "
“You doubt Professor Moody.” Fred guessed
“Wait, you said someone was going to attack you, did you mean Katrina?” George realized the problem.
"She was controlled and planned to give me a love potion." Albert shrugged.
"Are you sure that the girl is really controlled?" All three people looked at Albert suspiciously, "It's not that she wants you to drink the love potion and make you fall in love with her."
"I can confirm that she was under the Imperius Curse." Albert lowered his voice and said, "The impostor is really suspicious. I still remember that he used the Imperius Curse on the students not long ago to determine whether Katrina had The ability to resist the control of the Imperius Curse."
