Since the Easter holiday began, Albert has been staying in Rose Manor, living a world of two with Yin Zebel.
As for why he didn't stay in Hogsmeade, it was mainly because Albert was a secret keeper and staying there for a long time could easily pose a security risk.
As for the upcoming S test, Albert didn't care. Yin Zebel had experienced it personally, and her test experience could bring great help to Albert. What's more, Albert was not afraid of tests at all. With his own level, he would definitely have no problem in practice. As for the theoretical test, he had to thank the skill panel for providing him with a powerful memory.
However, Albert was not as relaxed as he seemed. He had never looked down upon the mysterious man and the Death Eaters, and he did not want to become an unlucky guy like the Potters.
It's never wrong to keep your life safe.
"What are you busy with?"
As soon as he came out of the laboratory, Albert saw Yin Zebel directing the house-elves to work in the kitchen. They seemed to be making Easter eggs. The shell made of chocolate and sugar coating looked like dragon eggs.
"Easter Egg!"
Yin Zebel showed Albert the results of his busy morning and gave him a look that said, "Come and praise me."
“It looks great.”
Albert looked at the Easter eggs, picked up a piece of scraps and put it in his mouth to chew, smiled and hugged the girl's slender waist and said, "But it always makes me feel a little weird that you make Easter eggs for me."
"Strange?" Yin Zebeier tilted his head and looked at Albert and asked, "No one should send you Easter eggs this year!"
"That's true, but you sending me Easter eggs makes me feel like a little kid who needs Easter eggs." Albert bit the icing and suggested, "How about sending this Easter egg to Katrina?"
"You don't want Easter eggs!" Yin Zebel was a little disappointed.
"You're all I need." Albert said softly, "Let me help you. What candies do you plan to add to the eggs?"
"If you're giving it to Katrina, put chocolate balls and fizzy bees in the Easter egg." Yin Zebel knows quite a bit about what kind of candies her sister likes, and the two sisters have similar preferences.
"I'll ask Dobby to go to Honeydukes Candy Store to buy some candy later." Albert looked at the Easter eggs in front of him. He actually liked them quite a bit, but asking Yin Zebel to help him make Easter eggs made him feel childish.
"I won't mind your childishness." Yin Zebel leaned close to Albert's ear and blew gently.
"Don't use telepathy." Albert deliberately frowned and pinched Yin Zebel's nose lightly.
"You didn't hide it, and your thoughts are easy to guess." Yin Zebel said with a smile.
"Then... let's keep this for ourselves. After all, you spent the whole morning making it." Albert hesitated for a moment, and continued, "We'll taste it together later. As for Katrina's Easter egg, let Kara help make another one!"
"Um!"
Yin Zebel smiled even more happily and asked Albert to help her take off her apron.
Sure enough, my sister is not as important as my boyfriend.
…
Ravenclaw common room.
Katrina was staring at the Easter eggs with a complicated expression. This was the owl package she had just received, and the sender was Yin Zebel.
To be honest, Mrs. McDougal was so busy all day that the sisters rarely received Easter eggs, and sometimes even their birthdays were forgotten.
Katrina looked at the envelope in the package, then stared at the candy in the egg and fell into a brief silence.
She had already guessed where this thing came from.
Maybe when Yin Zebel was making Easter eggs for Albert, she also made one for her. And judging from the appearance of this egg, it was most likely made with the help of a house-elf.
She took a deep breath, opened the envelope and read the contents carefully. Most of the parchment was about Yin Zebeier's experience in the S exam, as well as the areas that might need attention to relieve her exam pressure.
Since the Easter holidays, the exam atmosphere at Hogwarts has become even more intense. Everyone knows that before Umbridge recovers and returns to school, it is the best time for everyone to review.
Katrina picked up a chocolate ball and put it in her mouth, chewing it gently. She didn't know why the custard inside seemed a little sour, and she didn't know if someone had added lemon juice to it.
Ignoring the noise around her, Katrina refocused her attention on her textbook, intending to review seriously in preparation for the upcoming S-Exam.
Although she had completely lost in some aspects, she was not going to give up on the S test. This was Katrina's last stubbornness.
She didn't want to live in Yin Zebel's shadow forever, even though Albert said they were different and there was no need to always compare and not live in other people's shadows, but should do what she wanted to do, but she still didn't want to lose, that was what Katrina wanted to do.
"It's so noisy, let's go to the library!"
Katrina looked at the noisy common room, sighed softly, and began to pack her books to go to the library to review.
However, before going to the library, Katrina planned to bring some chocolate balls to the library to help improve her review efficiency, as long as she was not discovered by Madam Pince.
In fact, there were quite a few students who did this. Only those foolish people would take it out and eat it openly, and then they would be driven out of the library by Madam Pince with a feather duster.
…
At this moment, in the library, Fred and George were talking to each other in a depressed tone. Because the surprise Easter eggs they invented earlier were not popular, they had a backlog of inventory and could not sell them. Fortunately, they only launched a trial version to test the market feedback, so the actual loss was not great. However, this failure still hit their self-confidence.
"This is actually normal. Not everything can be popular with everyone." Lee Jordan didn't think there was anything wrong with this. "After all, the Easter eggs we received are more about the candies inside. Your use of Easter eggs to play a prank on people is not really a big surprise."
"I think the idea is correct. We should make surprise Easter eggs, but where is the problem?" The Wesley twins didn't think there was anything wrong with their idea.
"You can write it down first and ask Albert later. He might have a good idea!" Lee Jordan suggested. "As for your surprise eggs, remember to leave one for Albert and get rid of the rest."
"I thought you were going to say give those things away," Fred muttered.
"Unless you're going to refund the few people who bought the eggs earlier, don't do that."
After the three of them packed up their things, they walked out of the library. There were too many people here, so it was not suitable to discuss more private topics.
"I really envy Albert. That guy can always think of a lot of ways to make money." Fred said in a low voice after making sure there was no one around.
"I do need to talk to Albert," George closed his notes, nodded, and added, "and our closing ceremony."
"What farewell ceremony?" Lee Jordan looked at the two of them puzzled.
"It's to leave a deep impression on everyone before I leave!" George explained to Lee Jordan, "If I graduate like this, the publicity effect on the joke shop will definitely not be as good as leaving directly and causing a big incident. It just so happens that Umbridge is a good target."
"You've talked to Albert about this." Lee Jordan was so envious and jealous when he found out that these two bastards actually wanted to sneak away.
"I've said it, and he agrees." Fred shrugged and explained, "Anyway, if we take the S exam at our current level, we'll probably only get a bunch of shitty grades. What's the use of these grades? We might as well just recycle them and advertise our own store in Hogwarts. I bet people will talk about this for years."
"Utilization of waste?" Lee Jordan repeated with a strange expression. "However, this seems to be a good choice. It can be regarded as the last use of Umbridge before leaving."
As long as Umbridge remains at Hogwarts, the twins' heroic deeds will be missed.
"So what are you going to do?" Lee Jordan suddenly looked forward to their farewell ceremony.
"We have made a lot of fireworks, and we can use them all when the time comes. They are our special fireworks, and they will definitely impress everyone." Fred and George looked at each other and said with a smile, "I hope Umbridge can bring some surprises to everyone when she comes back. However, it's too late for her to pretend to be innocent now. Since the last time, no one is willing to believe her lies."
Lee Jordan couldn't help but mourn for Umbridge for a second in his heart.
…
At the same time, Harry Potter just came out of Professor McGonagall's office with a small package in his robe pocket. It was said that it was an important item that Sirius asked Professor McGonagall to pass on to Harry.
As soon as he left the Transfiguration Office, Ron and Hermione immediately walked towards him and asked Professor McGonagall what she wanted to see Harry for.
"This is not a good place to talk. Let's find another place." Harry looked at the student walking towards them and said to the two of them in a low voice.
Seeing Harry's mysterious look, Hermione and Ron realized that something important might have happened, so they stopped asking and went directly to the Room of Requirement, only to find that it had been occupied by someone else. Harry had no choice but to take Ron and Hermione back to the dormitory.
After closing the door of his dormitory, Harry took out the package that Professor McGonagall had handed him, which contained a bottle of golden potion.
"This is... Felicity."
Ron and Hermione looked up at Harry.
"What did Professor McGonagall do with a bottle of Felicis Felix?" Ron asked in confusion.
"If this bottle is really the Felicis Lobata, it might be able to... bring long-lasting luck." Hermione was a little confused about this. She felt that there must be something she didn't know.
"There seems to be something else in the package." Ron picked up a bracelet and handed it to Harry, then pointed to the parchment inside and said, "That should be the letter Sirius left for you."
Harry picked up the letter and read its contents carefully. He took a deep breath and put the rough bracelet on his hand.
"This is an emergency contact. It has the same effect as the magic coin Hermione made." Harry explained to his two friends.
"Sirius?" Hermione looked at Harry and asked, "Are you hiding something from us?"
"I just didn't have time to tell you." Harry briefly explained what he had discussed with Sirius before.
At that moment, he saw the fear and anxiety on Ron and Hermione's faces.
"Harry, I think..." Hermione grabbed Harry's hand and was interrupted by Harry before she could finish her words.
"It's useless. Some things are unavoidable. Besides, I think this is an opportunity. Apparently, others think so too. With the help of the Blessing Potion, I don't think there will be any big problems. The members of the Order of the Phoenix will come to reinforce me as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Harry raised his wrist. The bracelet on it was a communicator. As long as it was triggered, the other members of the Order of the Phoenix would know that the plan had begun.
"Call me when the time comes. I haven't tasted the wonderful taste of the Felicis elixir yet." Ron's voice trembled slightly, but he did not back down.
"Isn't this too risky?" Hermione still felt that it was too dangerous for Harry to use herself as bait. The Felicity Potion was not omnipotent and could not bring real luck.
"I think it's worth it. Not only can it solve Voldemort's spying on the prophecy, it can also solve Voldemort's influence on my brain. It can also make Voldemort surface and help Dumbledore and I clear our names. Then Fudge will step down and Umbridge can get out of Hogwarts." Harry couldn't find a reason not to do this. "With good preparation, the probability of success is very high. Maybe we can even deal with a group of escaped Death Eaters."
Hermione and Ron looked at each other, and they suddenly realized that they couldn't find any reason to convince Harry to give up this plan.
"However, I still suggest you ask Albert, he..."
"He was the one who suggested that I do this," Harry shrugged. "He was the one who reminded me and gave me this idea, so I think Albert must be optimistic about this plan as well."
"Okay, count me in when the time comes!" Hermione naturally wouldn't let Harry and Ron take the risk.
Just at this moment, someone knocked on the dormitory door.
"Who's inside? Open the door." Neville's voice came from outside.
Harry carefully put away the Felicis, and Ron opened the door after Harry had put away his things.
"What are you doing?" Neville looked at the three people in confusion.
"To discuss some personal matters," Harry explained.
"Oh, by the way, there seems to be a package for you. I think it should be Easter eggs." Neville did not ask further questions, but reminded, "It's in the common room."
"Oh, ok, thank you Neville!"
"Harry, can we learn something else first? I think it's a waste of time to continue practicing the Patronus Charm. It would be better to let everyone practice on their own when they have time." Neville suggested expectantly.
"You're right, we just discussed this and planned to teach something else first." Harry said and walked towards the common room, leaving Neville standing alone at the dormitory door watching the three people leave.
