As soon as Albert passed through the hall, he was surrounded by Fred, George and Lee Jordan who suddenly appeared.
"What's wrong?"
Albert looked at the three people and asked in confusion.
"George saw you and Hagrid coming out of the Forbidden Forest." After Fred made sure that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and asked, "Did you go into the Forbidden Forest to hunt that monster?"
"You didn't even invite us to this fun thing." George protested from the side, and Lee Jordan nodded in agreement.
"You didn't go on your own. I asked you this morning if you wanted to go together." Albert was speechless and immediately pointed out that the three of them didn't go on their own.
"Ahem, that's not important!" George said with a dry cough.
"By the way, have you finished your homework?" Albert began to change the subject.
"This is not important, put it aside for now." Fred said.
"It's not important?" Albert deliberately emphasized his tone and said, "It's really not important?"
The three of them immediately felt guilty.
They had just been released from solitary confinement not long ago, so naturally they didn't want to be put in solitary confinement again.
"Well, Hagrid and I walked around the Forbidden Forest and found nothing." Albert said unhappily, "But my feet are sore from walking for so long. Why, do you want to give me a massage?"
The three of them shook their heads.
"I know what you're thinking, but this isn't a game. The Forbidden Forest is dangerous, as Fred and George should know. Also, if you don't want to do your homework, you'll definitely be put in detention."
The three of them were very embarrassed, but they still came over and asked Albert to tell them what happened in the woods.
…
"That's it, that's all?"
A few minutes later, Lee Jordan's eyes widened in disappointment. He had thought something interesting would happen, but in the end nothing happened. Albert and Hagrid were actually wandering around in the Forbidden Forest, which made them extremely disappointed.
"Otherwise, what do you think will happen? Hagrid fighting that monster?" Albert's tone became even more unfriendly, making the three of them shut up and not dare to complain anymore.
Novels are very exciting because the people who write them usually choose the wonderful parts to tell, but this is reality, and most of the time in reality is dull.
"Are your fat tongue candies ready? You can't open a joke prop store without your own products." Albert said to the twins.
Fred and George slipped away quickly, probably to the library to look for information.
"Are you ready for the Wizard Card Club?" Albert looked at Lee Jordan who was about to slip away. "Hosting this game is a good opportunity for you. Don't you need to think about how to do it well?"
Lee Jordan also slipped away.
"You're too young to fight with me! " Albert peeled a chocolate candy and threw it into his mouth, feeling even happier.
After returning to the common room, Albert took a book and sat in the armchair by the fireplace to rest by the fire.
After eleven o'clock, Albert went to the library to do his homework.
Fred and his colleagues had already found the information, so it was a good thing for Albert. He didn't spend much time looking for information and finished the paper in no time.
The second grade homework was not difficult for Albert, but he still didn't mind using his brain.
"Can you help me take a look at the manuscript of the Transformation Club?" Katrina sat down beside him and pushed a paper in front of Albert.
"Wait a moment." Albert packed up his things, picked up the parchment and read it quickly.
How to say it!
This is a paper, but it cannot be called an academic paper.
The reason is that Katrina doesn't have enough knowledge and it's hard for her to explain herself clearly.
However, the fact that a second-year wizard could write such a paper shows that Katrina has worked hard. But Transfiguration Today is an academic magazine for the entire British wizarding world, so...
"At your current level, this paper is already well written. I suggest you finish studying the books on Transfiguration first, and then expand your knowledge base. Also, an academic paper requires some of your own opinions, understanding and knowledge of Transfiguration, not someone else's."
Albert gave his own suggestions. If he could help to make the changes, that would be fine, but Albert felt that it would not be good for Katrina, and she might not appreciate it.
"Oh!" Katrina was a little disappointed, but still understood Albert's suggestion.
"You're amazing." Katrina said sincerely, "I heard from Professor McGonagall that Transfiguration Today will give you the Most Promising Newcomer Award."
"Is there a bonus?" Albert suddenly asked.
"Well... I don't know." Katrina was stunned for a moment and shook her head.
"Here, you should have confidence in yourself." Albert smiled and took out some candies and handed them to Katrina. "Candies are good for making you happy. I am sharing the happiness you bring with you."
"Sharing the joy?"
Katrina opened the bag, ate a candy, and glanced at Albert secretly. She felt that he didn't seem to care much about the so-called Most Promising Newcomer Award.
Of course, if the Most Promising Newcomer Award came with a bonus, it might be a different story.
What a strange guy who is so greedy for money.
Albert really didn't care much about winning the Most Promising Newcomer Award. Since he had a bunch of old friends, every letter he wrote was like writing a paper.
Fortunately, he had the knowledge provided by the panel, so the two sides could exchange letters happily. After several months of training, Albert's skills and experience increased, which was why he insisted on exchanging letters.
Experience!
With experience comes motivation.
It's very realistic, but that's how it is.
An alternative way of taking advantage of others, and he became more familiar with magic.
Of course, the letters are not necessarily all essays. Occasionally, they will talk about some gossip or some inside information in the wizarding world.
During lunch, Fred and George were whispering mysteriously, and no one knew what they were talking about.
Albert was too lazy to care about them. After eating, he went straight back to the dormitory, found the hidden elixir, measured the exact amount, took a small sip, and squinted his eyes to feel the changes brought about by the elixir.
"Well, this feels great." Albert was in even better mood. He put the Felix Felicis into his pocket, strode out of the common room and prepared to find Hagrid. I feel that this time I can successfully solve the problem.
Albert saw Professor Smith's back on the moving staircase, and suddenly an idea came to him. He changed his route and walked quickly forward to greet the other party.
"Professor Smith."
"Albert, what's wrong?"
"Well, it's Hagrid. He's in some trouble. Can you help keep it a secret?" Albert said with embarrassment.
"Hagrid?" Professor Smith looked at Albert in confusion and said, "I'm not very familiar with Hagrid. What happened to him? Oh, of course, I will definitely keep it a secret."
"A while ago, Hagrid raised a three-headed dog in the Forbidden Forest. Later, the three-headed dog ran away by itself." Albert looked around and whispered.
"No wonder there were rumors like that a while ago." Professor Smith looked at Albert and smiled, "Do you want me to help you find the three-headed dog?"
"No, I want to tell Dumbledore about this," Albert shook his head and said, "You need a password to enter the headmaster's office."
"I see!" Professor Smith knew why Albert was looking for him. "You are lucky. The principal should still be in school. Come with me!"
