As Fred said, the news spread quickly in the school. Many people were speculating how Albert had given Gryffindor a hundred points out of thin air, allowing Gryffindor, which was originally at the bottom, to jump to the first place and even pushed Slytherin, who everyone disliked, to the second place.
Slytherin House is really not very popular. Their various outrageous actions make students from other houses hate them and they don't want to see them win the house cup.
After this incident started to ferment, many Slytherin students would point fingers at Albert and say insulting things to him.
That day, several senior Slytherin students stopped Albert and his three companions and yelled at him in front of them, calling him a liar and saying a series of unpleasant words.
Fred and his companions all had unfriendly looks on their faces, ready to have a fight with these guys. They had been practicing fighting skills for a long time, and they just wanted to fight.
The other Gryffindor students would certainly not let the hero of their own house suffer any injustice, and were ready to join in the fun. They did not mind making trouble, as it was not the first time that they had clashed with Slytherin House.
The atmosphere around them became increasingly explosive; the air was already filled with the strong smell of gunpowder, and a fight could break out at any time.
Albert didn't pay attention to the atmosphere around him. He just looked at the person who had just scolded him with a very calm look, and said helplessly: "Sure enough, you are still too young. You come here to scold me after hearing a little rumor. It's really reckless... Do you have any evidence to prove that what you just said is true? Don't tell me that your so-called rumor is evidence?"
"I..." The Slytherin student was about to speak when Albert's hand was on his shoulder.
Albert sighed lightly and shook his head, "To be honest, I am also troubled by your constant spreading of rumors."
Others around began to whisper.
"I know you're not very smart, but next time don't just believe any rumor you hear. What you're doing now is completely mindless. I have to wonder if you're mentally retarded or are you deliberately trying to cause trouble for me?"
Albert glanced at a Slytherin student who wanted to interrupt him without any emotion, and continued, "To be honest, I hate people causing trouble for me. I believe you don't like it either!"
The surroundings suddenly became terribly quiet!
"So, apologize for your slip of the tongue just now." Albert said softly, "Otherwise... Although I usually don't like to use violence, I still don't mind hanging you outside the castle. You can try it. I always keep my word."
“Sorry!” After being stared at by Albert for a while, the senior student finally chose to back off.
"No exception." Albert patted his shoulder and said meaningfully, "Also, don't take it for granted when you hear some rumors. Doing so will make you look stupid."
Except for the Slytherin students, everyone else couldn't help laughing, but they soon stopped laughing because Albert said clearly that those who believed the rumors were fools, and most of the people here were obviously fools.
"I'm about to take the exam, why do I still have time to pay attention to those rumors? Are I too bored, or is there too little homework? Why can't I focus on the exam?" Albert muttered to himself, and without paying attention to others, he walked straight to the library.
Fred, George, and Lee Jordan looked at the people around them with strange eyes, and hurried to catch up with Albert.
The Slytherin student, who had suffered a series of blows, had his face flushed red and almost exploded on the spot, but he did not dare to chase after Albert and cause trouble.
He would never have thought that he would be suppressed by Albert's momentum.
In fact, this was related to Albert's last battle with Smith. That life-and-death fight made Albert's momentum very sharp.
After all, he had made up his mind to "kill someone", so how could he be compared with other students
However, what was most difficult for most people to accept was Albert's performance. He was not angry at all during the whole process. He just looked at him with pity in a very calm tone.
right!
Looking at him with pity, that was the expression of looking at a mentally retarded person.
Moreover, this was not just directed at the Slytherin student, but at most people. Those who easily believed in rumors were mentally retarded in Albert's eyes.
"Interesting, hahahaha... It's really interesting. How did you do that? I can't take it anymore. My stomach hurts."
As soon as they turned into a deserted place, Albert looked at his roommates who were laughing so hard that they were bent over, speechlessly, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.
"Did you notice the constipated expressions of those Slytherin students just now?"
Albert's words just now made them laugh. The three of them didn't expect it to be like this. It was really funny.
"By the way, how did you do it?" Fred wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and couldn't help asking.
"I just want them to listen to me carefully," Albert said calmly.
"What if he doesn't apologize?" George asked curiously.
"Of course I will keep my word and hang him outside the castle." Albert narrowed his eyes and said, "I will let him go when he is sincerely willing to apologize."
The three of them looked at each other, originally thinking that Albert was just threatening, but they didn't expect that Albert was not joking.
What they don’t know is that since ancient times, the phrase “conquering others with virtue” is not just a verbal expression, but means using fists to convince others.
This incident quickly spread throughout the school, but no one laughed at the Slytherin student. Everyone calmed down and thought carefully about what had happened.
After all, that incident was just a rumor in the school.
Although everyone said that it was Albert who gave Gryffindor extra points, there was no solid evidence, and even Albert himself said he was unaware of the matter.
Everyone actually knew about it and spread it everywhere, and even used this matter to make an issue out of it.
No wonder Albert would say that.
If you just heard some rumors and believed them to be true, you will indeed appear to be very stupid.
No one would admit that they were stupid or mentally retarded, so everyone shut up.
But what exactly is going on
There are always a few curious people who want to uncover this secret.
However, Dumbledore did not reveal any information, and Albert, the person involved, also said that he was not aware of it, so there was no way to investigate the matter.
As for the special contribution award, no one really paid attention to it.
Everyone soon stopped thinking about this matter because the shadow of the exam had quietly arrived and everyone had to put more attention on reviewing.
Albert also heard that due to the Bafe brain stimulant, this exam will be stricter than the last one to prevent people from cheating by using the Bafe brain stimulant.
In fact, the Ministry of Magic did not change anything. Because they simply could not monitor on a large scale whether anyone had taken the Buffy Brain Refresher. Moreover, the Ministry of Magic had been promoting the dangers of the Buffy Brain Refresher during this period. The actual victim had just been discharged from the hospital and had some unpleasant side effects, but they had never expected that someone had secretly used the Buffy Brain Refresher and had achieved good results.
