After hearing Wood's news about his former companion, Fred and George looked at each other and fell into a brief silence.
They certainly knew what Mario, Danny, and Jack's dreams were.
The former acrobatic trio hoped to form a circus and perform around the world, but the reality was so cruel that without sufficient financial support, their dream had just begun.
What about their own dreams
Open a joke shop!
How much does that cost
Fred and George didn't know, they hadn't even investigated the matter yet, but it was definitely not something that could be achieved with just a few dozen Galleons.
They need to rent a shop, advertise, and the products need raw materials and technology. Moreover, they have no galleons and no experience, so they might mess things up. If they don't have a bit of luck, their dreams will be over before they even begin.
In reality, it would be nearly impossible for the twins to collect a full 100 Galleons before graduation.
Being without money is sometimes so cruel.
Now the twins understood why Albert always said that money was really important sometimes.
The two looked at Albert at the same time and suddenly felt lucky. Albert said he would help them. Because he would never let himself lose money, Fred and George were confident in opening a joke shop after graduation, or perhaps they were confident in Albert.
It’s great to have friends like this!
They are also lucky.
Of course, Albert had no idea what Fred and George were thinking. He was eating and casually responding to Wood's questions about Quidditch.
Wood is really optimistic about Harry and thinks that this year's Quidditch championship will belong to Gryffindor House.
Harry was a little embarrassed and it was worth it to concentrate on eating.
He knew that his position originally belonged to Albert, although Albert seemed not to want it, but... Harry still felt a little uncomfortable when Wood praised him like this.
"Although I like flying, Quidditch is not suitable for me because I don't have that much time to train with everyone." Albert looked at Harry's appearance and said calmly: "However, there is one thing you need to pay attention to. Don't make yourself unable to play in the game."
“This is a warning.”
"Warning?"
"Yes, warning." Fred frowned and reminded, "Although you may think it's exaggerated, what Albert says is usually accurate. You need to be careful."
"Yes, Harry, you need to be careful about those bastards on the Slytherin team. Most of the time they will do anything to win." When Wood heard Albert's words, he reacted immediately and reminded Harry.
"No, no, Wood, the Slytherins will do whatever it takes to win," Lee Jordan interrupted.
"If you have time, you can teach Harry how to use Mark's feints," George reminded.
"Mark's feint?" Harry asked puzzled.
"That's an effective counterattack, especially when dealing with bad-tempered guys. You always need an excuse to punch them in the nose." Fred waved his fist and made a punching motion. "Of course, it's a fake move, so I won't really hit anyone."
"If he really hits it, it's just bad luck." George shrugged.
Harry opened his mouth, speechless with surprise.
Lee Jordan's eyes fell on Albert who was getting up to leave, and he asked, "Where are you going?"
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Albert got up and left.
"See you later!"
"Damn, is he going to the library right after dinner?" After Albert left, George couldn't help muttering as he looked at his friend's departing back.
"Definitely not, I think maybe he is going out on a date?" Lee Jordan guessed.
"Should we follow?"
“That’s a good idea.”
The three curious guys quickly finished their food and left with Albert.
"What are they doing?" Ron asked puzzled.
"Maybe you want to go... to see Albert on a date?" Of course, Wood had also heard about Albert's affairs, and he thought that what Fred and his friends did was not a good thing.
Yes, it's very bad.
"Date?" Ron repeated, not really understanding what the word meant.
The three of them found out that Albert was not going on a date, but went straight back to the Gryffindor common room, which dampened their interest. They prepared to go to the Room of Requirement to perfect the joke props. Now the three of them have their laboratory here. Lee Jordan works part-time as a joke prop tester and gives them some advice.
"What's going on?"
Seeing George banging against the door, Fred reached out and pulled him up from the ground, frowning and asking.
"You can't get in. There's someone inside." George said.
"That's right, I know!" Fred suddenly exclaimed.
"What do you know?"
"Do you think Albert is in there? Don't forget that the Room of Requirement cannot appear on the map. Maybe they are hiding in there to date, and they don't have to worry about being disturbed by others!"
George and Lee Jordan were stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly felt that it made sense. Perhaps Albert told his girlfriend the secret of the Room of Requirement!
That’s right, they must be dating inside, otherwise why couldn’t they get in
"But how did he do it?" Lee Jordan was a little confused. Wasn't Albert in the common room
"Don't forget, he can be in two places at the same time." Fred touched his chin and reminded, "Only students who choose twelve subjects know how to use the Clone Spell. Don't forget that the girl named Isobel McGonagall is also a genius. She must be able to be in two places at the same time."
No wonder they could never catch the two of them dating.
Albert had no idea that his trick had been seen through.
Of course, even if he was seen through, he didn't really care. So what if he was seen through
…
At this moment, Albert was standing at the entrance of the lounge, covering his face and watching the scene in front of him.
So, is this the reason why you can’t lose weight
Tom was being held by the girl, who was teasing him with dried fish.
I was actually deceived by a tiny little fish.
What a greedy guy.
"Ms. Granger, it looks like you've found your first friend."
"that… "
Hermione looked at Albert who was walking towards her, a little panicked, like a child who had made a mistake.
"Please don't feed Tom anymore. Don't you notice that he is overweight?" Albert looked at Hermione and said seriously.
"I'm sorry, I just..." Hermione lowered her head.
"Tom was spoiled by my grandparents." Albert stretched out his hand and scratched the cat's ears, saying helplessly, "I didn't pay attention, and it became so fat."
"Sorry!" Hermione's voice lowered.
"Just don't do that next time. I'm trying to help it lose weight recently. Maybe you can help." Albert slowed down his tone so as not to sound like he was bullying a child.
"What should I do?"
"Let it exercise more." Albert took out a cat toy and waved it in front of Tom. The latter was immediately attracted and reached out to touch it.
"Let's give it a try."
Albert handed the cat toy to Hermione.
Hermione was a little reserved. She noticed the looks from others and took the cat toy somewhat unnaturally.
"I'm very busy and don't have much time to spend with Tom." Albert gently picked up the fat cat, patted its belly and said, "If you have time, please help me take care of it, okay?"
"Okay, I will." Hermione looked at Albert and smiled brightly.
