The day after receiving the apology letter from the Ministry of Magic, Albert secretly went to the Room of Requirement to retrieve the gold card and send it back to Hertog.
After Hetok had clarified things for him, keeping the gold card would actually be a problem.
The moment he picked up the gold card, Albert inadvertently looked in a certain direction, casually put the gold card into the pocket of his robe, and slowly walked to the right. His eyes fell on an old cabinet with a blistering surface. He slowly raised his head and looked at the top of the cabinet, squinting his eyes. There was a bust of a wizard covered with pockmarks, and he wore an old gray wig on his head, and... an old faded crown-like thing.
Standing blankly in front of the old cabinet, he vaguely heard the whisper from the crown again. His raised hand froze in place, then he slowly retracted it and quickly turned and left.
After Albert left the Room of Requirement, he stared at the gold card in his hand and murmured in a low voice: "This memory should be enough!"
He put the golden card in an envelope he had prepared in advance, and then sent it to its original owner, Hertok, via the school's owl.
As for, why not your own owl
There was no way, Sheila was still halfway through delivering the letter.
Looking at the owl flying away with the gold card, Albert took a deep breath. The matter had come to an end, and the original mission of returning the money was completed.
When Albert was about to accept the task, he suddenly found an extra task on his panel.
The struggle of underage wizards.
In the past years, the Ministry of Magic has occasionally made mistakes. The Department of Abuse of Magic has never admitted the mistakes of the Ministry and itself. Use your way to make them realize that they are wrong, apologize or pay the price for it, and let them know that even underage wizards who have no power and little say can still use other ways to express their dissatisfaction.
Reward: 3000 experience points, Dolores Umbridge's favorability -10.
Albert stood outside the Owl Shed, muttering to himself, "How strange! Why would this quest be triggered at this time? And once it's triggered, the quest is already completed."
"Could it be because I returned the gold card?" Albert guessed the reason in his mind. He walked down the stairs and just returned to the castle and came to the hallway, he found that a new task appeared on his task panel.
Thanks from the Potions Master.
The gold membership card is very important to the Potions Master Hertok. He is very happy that you can return the gold membership card as agreed and that you and your integrity are recognized by the other party.
Reward: 100 experience points, 1 skill point, Hetok's favorability +5, a random skill obtained from the quest target, reward item: a bottle of Fuling Potion.
Albert, who had just stepped into the auditorium, was also stunned. He didn't expect that there would be a follow-up to this matter, and the reward would be so rich.
I originally thought that returning the lost property was a scam, but it turned out to be just the beginning.
However, Albert was still a little curious about what would happen if he had simply returned the gold membership card to Hertok at the beginning.
Got a Galleon
Albert had a feeling that the more difficult the task, the better the rewards.
However, this time, I really made a profit. I spent so much time and energy on this matter.
But how did Hertok receive his own owl letter so quickly
It would take no more than ten minutes to get here from the Owl Shed, even if you paused for a while on the way.
Is he nearby
Hertog was waiting for his owl in Hogsmeade
Albert felt that this was the only possibility.
It seems that the gold card is more important than Albert expected.
He just sighed in his heart and then focused on the task again.
Albert had no intention of collecting the reward for the underage wizards' struggle just yet, and having Dolores Umbridge's favorability towards him decline was not a good thing.
However, he directly accepted the gratitude from the honest man and the Potion Master.
Then, he found a place to sit in the auditorium, took out the small notebook in his pocket and pretended that he was reading something, then began to flip through the skill panel to check the skill rewards he had obtained from Hetok.
This reward is a bit of a rip-off, and which skill you get depends purely on luck.
Last time, there was a similar reward for Truman's mission, but no one knew what it was. Albert couldn't find it after looking through the skill panel.
Albert discovered that he had mastered quite a few skills, most of which were level one and level zero. It was not easy to find the skills by scrolling down the long list.
After carefully flipping through it three times, Albert finally found a skill he had never seen before, called Potion Mastery.
Yes, that's right, the skill is called Potion Mastery.
In fact, the reason why Albert paid attention to this skill was that this skill could not be upgraded with experience.
In his impression, skills that require skill points to upgrade are all very good.
This is really exciting good news!
…
In the hall, several Gryffindor students were surrounding Albert, talking in low voices.
"What happened to Albert?" Angelina looked at the motionless Albert in confusion and asked the Weasley brothers beside her, "Could he be under a full body binding spell?"
While she was talking, Fred actually took the notebook from Albert's hand and waved his hand in front of him, but Albert did not come back to his senses. He sat there quietly like a real statue, thinking about something.
"No, he's just distracted intermittently." George took the small notebook from Fred's hand and put it upside down in Albert's hand.
"It looks pretty creepy," Angelina muttered.
"That's why Albert used a notebook to disguise himself." George explained with a smile: "I guess he was thinking about something important. But you're right, if you don't know, it's really scary to see this scene."
"Even if you do this, he won't react!" Fred stretched out his hand to pull Albert's cheek, but the latter stood up suddenly and hit his head directly on Fred's chin. Fred covered his chin in pain and squatted on the ground groaning.
The impact was so strong that Fred's face was twisted in pain.
Angelina's face twitched. To be honest, she was also frightened by Albert's sudden standing up.
Li Qiaodan looked at it and shook his head. "If you don't commit suicide, you won't die. How come you don't know that?"
"Fred, still alive?" George asked gleefully.
“It hurts so much.”
"Isn't this not dead?"
"We are twins, right?"
"right."
"Then I'll share some of the pain with you." Fred covered his chin with his hand and punched his twin brother suddenly.
"Asshole, you actually attacked me."
The two of them immediately started fighting.
