Chapter 904 The Riddler
Albert couldn't help but blush at the **** in front of him who was standing and talking without back pain. Although his physical strength was not bad, if he danced for the next few hours, no matter how good his physical strength was, he would not be able to hold on.
“I always thought that the ‘Weird Sisters’ were pairs of sisters singing lead vocals.” Albert deliberately took the topic off track and while diverting everyone’s attention, he casually complained about the band on the stage.
Several people looked at each other and seemed to not know how to respond to Albert's complaints.
Well, the main reason is that the name of the band is "Weird Sisters", but there is no girl in the whole band, which is indeed a bit strange.
"I remember Rita Skeeter mentioned the reason in the Daily Prophet before." Aaliya frowned and recalled carefully, "Later, after a concert of 'Weird Sisters', lead singer Myron ·Wagtel mentioned the reason for the name "The Weird Sisters": He said that he originally wanted to call it "The Three Brothers of Destiny" to commemorate the three people who originally formed the band, but Curley Duke felt that the name was not attractive enough. and the topic, they changed it to the Three Weird Sisters. Because the word Weird means fate in Old English, they simply changed the name to the Three Weird Sisters. Later, they felt that the name Weird Sisters was not easy to pronounce, and the band also More than three people, they changed the name of the band to "Weird Sisters", and their current dress is also in line with the trend. This style of "Weird Sisters" quickly made them popular and received a lot of attention. A lot of girls are welcoming and following me.”
“No, I think their popularity is not due to their band’s name and clothing style, but because their lead singer Myron Wagtel is handsome enough and has good singing skills, just like Miss Yanila next to you. , she is pretty enough, sings well, and has a lot of fans. As for that weird fashion style, it is just a side effect." Albert had seen this kind of situation many times in his previous life. As long as the singing is not terrible and the appearance is good, He is handsome enough and can easily have a group of fans.
If you are handsome and handsome, you can really do whatever you want.
"If you go up and sing, you will definitely be more famous than them." Yanila said in English, "I heard that your photos caused a lot of commotion. There is already a club of yours in Spain. They call you 'Butcher'." Dragon Warrior'."
“I didn’t slay the dragon.” Albert corrected.
“If you think about it, subduing a fire dragon is much harder than killing a fire dragon.” Yanila said with a smile, “You should have a large group of supporters now. I dare say someone will send you something on Christmas Day.”
Everyone looked at the beautiful Beauxbatons girl in front of them in surprise. They didn't expect that the other person could speak fluent English. You must know that most students in the two schools have communication difficulties.
“Oh, what a shock!”
Albert didn't respond at all, and even the tone of his words was so perfunctory, as if the person he was talking about was not him.
Before anyone else could say anything else, Albert extended his hand to invite Luna and took her hand towards the dance floor. Not long after they stepped onto the dance floor, they immediately became the center of attention.
Luna can't dance, or her dancing is weird.
However, Albert could take her slowly in circles, but he would often get stepped on.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to." Luna whispered.
“Don’t worry about it, just concentrate on dancing.”
Albert didn't care about the rhythm of the music, but danced with Luna at his own pace, very slowly, very slowly.
"I know you don't care too much about other people's eyes, but sometimes you dress up and act too weird, and you are easily ostracized by others. I think you are well dressed now. You are very cute, beautiful and lively. Little girl, I believe you can find more friends." Albert's tone was very calm, like the big brother next door. If he didn't want to choose Luna to inherit the Wizard Card Club, he would not have said this.
However, Albert now doubts whether his decision is correct. To a certain extent, Luna is not a reliable person, and she needs someone who can tolerate her weird behavior.
“Thank you, you are the first person besides my father who said that I am cute and beautiful.” Luna smiled brightly, and it was easy to see that she was in a good mood.
“No, I’m just telling the truth.” Albert said gently.
After the second song ended, Albert asked again: "Do you want to continue?"
“I thought we were going to dance three numbers,” Luna said with a wink.
"No, as long as you are willing, I can dance with you a few more times, it doesn't matter." Albert took Luna to continue the third dance.
“I thought you didn’t like dancing very much.” Luna said looking at Albert.
“I can’t say I like her, and I can’t say I hate her either.” Albert looked at the quirky girl in front of him and asked, “What about you?”
“I actually don’t like dancing very much.” Luna continued to spin slowly in circles. She danced much better than before, at least she wouldn’t step on Albert’s feet again.
“Because there is no one worthy of dancing with you?” Albert asked.
"I'm not a very good dancer. But you're right, no one wants to dance with me except my dad." Luna didn't deny this.
“You need friends,” said Albert.
"are we friends?"
"If you are willing, I don't mind. I dare say I have too many friends." Albert did not refuse. He did not hate Luna.
"I think a lot of girls will be jealous. They all want to be friends with you." Luna said to Albert.
"Unfortunately, my time and experience alone are limited!" Albert said calmly, "It is impossible to be friends with everyone."
“You seem very busy.”
"Yeah, I've been busy all the time!" Albert laughed at himself, "Although I really want to live a lazy life like a cat. Unfortunately...life sometimes doesn't make people what they want. After all, there are still many things to do next. It will happen, if you are not prepared..."
“You seem to be hiding a lot of secrets and worries.”
"I can tell you one of the secrets," Albert said to Luna: "I am considering whether to let you inherit the Wizard Card Club. Have you considered it yourself?"
Luna was not angry because of Albert's words. She just looked at him for a while and asked slowly: "Because I'm worried that my character will destroy the Wizard Card Club?"
"Yes, what you said is indeed one of the reasons." Albert said without hesitation, "I can't watch the hard work of myself and my friends be ruined in the hands of the next successor."
"I can understand." Luna said calmly, "For me, attending parties is more interesting."
“As long as the club’s parties are held every month and the club’s competitions are held every semester, the Wizarding Card Club will not disappear from Hogwarts. Can you do it?”
"I'm worried about losing your book. I often lose things, although I can usually find them back." Luna said softly.
"You don't have to worry about this kind of thing, I will tell you how to get it back even if you lose it." Albert said gently, "What's more important is the love for the wizard card and a little sense of responsibility. Of course, Sometimes you have to give up something when you get something."
“What do I need to give up?” Luna asked.
“I don’t know, maybe you won’t know until you get it.”
“Okay, I do.” Luna thought for a while and agreed.
After noticing that Luna's breathing began to become rapid, Albert led her towards the outside of the dance floor.
“You are amazing.”
Yanila smiled and handed a glass of butterbeer to Albert, "I have obviously been dancing for nearly an hour, and I still seem to have plenty of energy."
“Thank you, where are the others?”
Albert took the butterbeer and put it directly on the table, obviously not prepared to touch the drink handed to him.
"I don't know. You're still as vigilant as ever. Don't worry, I didn't add anything strange into it." Yanila smiled sweetly, but these words were very strange.
“She is pursuing you?”
Luna drank half a glass of butterbeer in one go, looked up at Yanila, then at Albert, and asked doubtfully: "I remember you seem to have a girlfriend."
“I’ve already mentioned it to her.” Albert shrugged helplessly.
"So, she's going to add a love potion to your drink?" Luna said some amazing words while drinking butterbeer: "Actually, there are quite a few girls in Ravenclaw who want to do this."
Yanila stared at Luna for a while, then looked away and asked Albert: "Your friend?"
“Yes.” Albert did not deny it.
Luna next to her laughed happily after hearing this.
"When are we going to dance?" Yanila didn't pay attention to it, "You won't break your promise, I've been waiting for a long time."
“Later, let me rest for a while.”
"I can wait, I have a whole night anyway." Yanila said stubbornly.
"I actually don't like girls who stalk you." Albert said to Yanila, "You actually have better choices. I'm sure there are countless boys who like you and pursue you, so why bother?"
“As long as I like it,” Yanila said calmly, “Also, I actually have no better choice, so I won’t give up.”
Luna looked at the two people with interest and found this scene very interesting.
However, the situation here was quickly interrupted by the arrival of Percy.
"I thought about it for a long time, but I still don't understand what you meant before." Percy finally couldn't help but come to Albert.
“You’ll understand next summer,” Albert reminded.
“Can’t you just tell me?” Percy felt inexplicably irritable. This matter was related to his future, so how could he not care.
"Sometimes fate is so magical. Sometimes if you know too much, things may be different." Albert looked at Percy, changed the subject and asked, "Why didn't you go dancing?"
“I don’t want to dance today,” said Percy awkwardly.
“I thought you would tell Crevat that you came to Hogwarts for the Christmas party instead of Crouch.” Albert looked at Percy in surprise, thinking he might have guessed the reason.
“It’s a rare Christmas ball, I suggest you find someone to dance with.” Albert reminded kindly: “Now is not the time, you should be patient.”
"Isn't it time yet?" Percy asked in astonishment, "What is the time?"
"In recent years, the environment in the British wizarding world will be very harsh, but sooner or later it will get better. When the time comes, your opportunity will come. For you now, some things are actually not that important, and some things are more important. It’s important, especially people who are willing to patiently listen to your nagging, that’s not common.”
Percy froze on the spot, staring blankly at Albert who was taking Yanila to the dance floor, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"I think he is probably giving you some advice!" Luna looked at the two people leaving and said to Percy, "Albert is always very considerate."
“Suggestion?” Percy opened his mouth slightly, suddenly confused.
He knew that Albert was good at prediction, and he even predicted that he would become Crouch's assistant.
But what does he want to tell me now?
Percy felt that what Albert just said seemed to contain a lot of meaning.
“Suggestion?” Percy muttered.
On the stage, Yanila’s dancing skills were very good and her dancing was much more unrestrained, which immediately attracted the attention of the girls.
“That’s your friend too.”
“So be it!”
“Then why didn’t you tell him directly?” Yanila asked doubtfully: “You know it’s actually very annoying to ask people to guess riddles.”
"Percy is a smart man. There are some things that he needs to think clearly on his own. If I tell him directly, it will only have the opposite effect." Albert explained calmly.
He has a good relationship with Percy and doesn't want him to become too extreme for power.
“You are a good friend.”
“I just don’t want him to become a fool with an excessive desire for power,”
"You see so clearly." Yanila suddenly asked, "Then are we friends?"
“We once had a chance to be friends.” Albert said calmly.
“I think it’s not too late to become friends.” Yanila said with a smile.
"I have a question."
"what is the problem."
"I'm curious, what do you want from me?" Albert stared at the girl and asked, but before she could answer, he said to himself, "Forget it, just think that I asked a stupid question. .”
“You don’t want to know?” Yanila asked with a smile.
“I thought about it before, but now I don’t.” Albert concentrated on dancing and enjoyed the time dancing with the beautiful woman.
"Oh, what a pity, I wanted to tell you originally." Yanila said softly.
“No, I actually don’t feel sorry.” Albert thought for a while and said, “I won’t come to the UK in the next few years.”
"You are worried that I will disturb you." Yanila curled her lips and said, "I am not that shameless to disturb your lives."
“I think you were in bad taste the last time you did that.”
Albert did not give the other party a chance to refute, and continued, "Some bad things will happen in Britain, so don't come to Britain, and don't ask why. You will know the reason after the Triwizard Tournament is over."
“What a stingy and vindictive man.”
“You are right, I am indeed stingy and vindictive.” Albert admitted generously.
