Humans are forgetful creatures.
When Flint found that no one was targeting him, he finally let go of his worries that he had to be on guard against being attacked or beaten up all day. The huge amount of Galleons he lost in the gambling game was almost an unpayable debt for him. Unless Flint was willing to take money from his family, he could not repay the debt at all.
Flint had no intention of asking his family for money to repay the other students who had won the bet.
He thought he and his friends had all been fooled!
That gambling game was a conspiracy against them from the very beginning.
If it weren't for Kenneth Toler's provocation, how could they have given such completely unreasonable odds
These statements were actually said to others. At the time, everyone was completely furious, but they were also very confident in themselves and wanted to make a fortune, so they gave such odds.
Of course, Flint would never admit this.
He has never forgotten the humiliations he suffered, and has no intention of letting it go. He is even ready to take revenge on other bastards who have caused trouble for him.
The Weasley brothers who led people to steal his Galleons, Truman who attacked him and even pulled off his pants, and two senior students from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff who always led teams to attack him.
The person who made Flint most angry was Kenneth Toller. How could he have fallen for his provocation in the first place? The Slytherin Quidditch captain completely carried forward the fine tradition of blaming everyone else for their fault. He thought that he had ended up like this, and he blamed it all on Kenneth Toller. He was ready to find an opportunity to pull down Toller's pants and hang the bastard in the school hall for everyone to see.
However, Albert Anderson, the mastermind behind all this, was completely ignored by Flint's instinct.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand why Flint ignored Albert. As the person who was owed the most debt, he basically never caused trouble for them. Moreover, not many people would want to provoke Albert. Previous cases have proved that anyone who provokes Albert will not have a good ending.
That guy is not only smart and powerful, but also extremely insidious and cunning. He is a very difficult guy to mess with.
Flint didn't know that the guy he instinctively ignored was discussing with his friends how to deal with these Slytherin students who owed debts and refused to pay them back.
Because Flint and his partner refused to pay back the money, Fred, George and all the students who were in debt were very angry. However, this matter was just a private gambling game after all, and it was not easy to bring it to the table.
The bad thing about this kind of private gambling is that sometimes others want to default on their debts, and they don’t have any good way to deal with it.
However, if those Slytherin bastards thought they could get away with it in such a shameless way, they were gravely mistaken.
At the suggestion of Albert, the big creditor, the debt collection team led by Fred and George is ready to rob every Galleon in the pockets of these bastards during the trip to Hogsmeade in December.
Since the other party is unwilling to repay the Galleons, I can only collect them myself.
As for other things, they are secondary. Recovering the Galleons owed to them is the most important thing and the core purpose of their debt collection team.
Albert believed that the group of guys would definitely bring money with them when they went to Hogsmeade, otherwise what would they take to go shopping? In order for this debt collection operation to proceed smoothly, everyone would temporarily give up harassing Flint, so that they could relax their vigilance and take the money to Hogsmeade for fun.
Hermione, who was eavesdropping nearby, had no idea that Albert was actually discussing with others how to rob the Galleons from the pockets of Hogwarts students.
"Miss Granger, is there anything wrong?" Albert turned his head and looked at Hermione, who had been standing next to them and was now staring at them in amazement, and asked.
"What are you doing..." Hermione was so shocked by Albert that she was speechless.
"Of course, there is no need to be polite when dealing with evil people." Albert said lightly.
"It's like when evil is dealt with by evil," George said seriously.
"When dealing with evil people, you should be more evil than them. Only then will they be afraid, surrender, and admit their mistakes." Li Qiaodan nodded in agreement, "Only then will they turn over a new leaf and become good people."
"In order to help them reform and become good people, we don't mind playing the bad guys." Fred raised his hand and clapped with his two companions. They had all been deeply influenced by Albert.
After taking his eyes away from the three amusing companions, Albert looked at Hermione and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Well, I found this parchment in the library's A History of Hogwarts." After Hermione came to her senses, she took out a piece of parchment from her pocket and asked expectantly, "Do you recognize the words on it?"
"It's French." Albert glanced at the words on the old parchment and answered calmly. Of course he knew what it was.
"Can you help me translate it? They say you are good at all languages." Hermione looked at Albert expectantly and handed him the parchment.
"That's no problem, but I'm very busy right now, so you'll probably have to wait for a while." Albert agreed, took out his wand and tapped the parchment to make a copy for himself. He looked up at Fred, George, and Lee Jordan, who all looked expressionless, and put the parchment away.
These three guys were trying hard to hold back their laughter at the moment, so as not to let others see their flaws.
There is no doubt that what Hermione Granger found was the treasure that Albert made last year. Yes, that's right, this parchment records the formula of the Philosopher's Stone.
But now this is the French version.
I wonder how happy Harry Potter will be when he finds out that the treasure in the restricted corridor on the fourth floor is the Philosopher's Stone, and that he actually has the formula for the Philosopher's Stone.
Albert decided to put off the matter until after the Christmas holidays.
By the way, I should also give a copy to Professor Quirrell to make him happy. Maybe after getting the formula, he will try to make a Philosopher's Stone himself.
After Hermione left, Fred whispered, "I didn't expect that the things we hid would be found so quickly."
“It’s fun to be found.”
Albert said nonchalantly that the treasure maps were made originally just to let the students who later discovered the treasure maps go treasure hunting. It was a kind of bad taste of Albert himself, just like the parchment that recorded the formula of the Philosopher's Stone.
It's just to amuse you guys.
As for the students who accidentally fell into the scam, all we can say is that they are stubborn but not smart enough.
On the other side, after seeing Hermione coming back, Harry couldn't help but ask: "Will Anderson help?"
"He said it's in French and he's willing to translate it for us, but he's quite busy right now, so he might have to wait until after the Christmas holidays before he can give me the translation," Hermione replied.
"Didn't he say what it was?" Harry asked again.
"No." Hermione shook her head.
"I hope it's not another scam." Ron on the side couldn't help but mutter. Ever since he was cheated by the treasure map last time, Ron has no good feelings for this thing.
"Should... No way!"
