After parting with Hertork, Albert and Isobel went to the Three Broomsticks. Since they were already in Hogsmeade, how could they miss having a drink at the Three Broomsticks
The bar was noisy and crowded, but also warm, with a fire burning in the fireplace.
Albert accidentally caught a glimpse of Fred, George and Lee Jordan sitting in the corner drinking. They were huddled together and whispering, and seemed not to notice him and Isobel.
Albert found an empty seat and went to the counter to ask Ms. Rosmerta for two glasses of butter beer. Although this is a bar, alcoholic beverages other than butter beer are not provided to minors.
Albert thought that the bar could actually sell some low-alcohol sweet wine, which would definitely be popular with girls. As everyone knows, it is much easier to make money from girls' Galleons than from boys.
However, most dessert wines in Europe are wines, and Ms. Rosmerta obviously would not sell wine to students.
Speaking of sweet wine, Albert thought of the glutinous rice wine in his previous life. It was one of the few wines he liked. It tasted like a beverage, but it was difficult to store.
"What are you thinking about?"
Isobel noticed that Albert was distracted while chatting with her, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked.
"There is a kind of very good sweet wine among Muggles. Maybe we can ask the house-elves to try to brew some." Albert suddenly said.
Anyway, the house-elf has nothing to do in the manor. Finding something for it to do can better motivate it, and he also believes that the house-elf will definitely be happy to master more skills.
"Sweet wine, is it delicious?" Isobel was very interested in the sweet wine that Albert mentioned.
"Well, it's a bit like a drink, you'll like it." Albert had already figured out how to get the glutinous rice, and he believed that Mundungus would probably be willing to help him get it.
After drinking, the two of them walked around Hogsmeade and bought a birthday present for Nia before returning to Hogwarts Castle.
Before they parted, Albert reminded them, "Something might happen in the castle today, remember not to run around."
"Got it. You should be careful too."
Isobel felt very strange, but she didn't plan to run around. There must be a reason why Albert said that. Maybe he predicted something again.
If a Gryffindor student heard him say this, he would probably have started to get ready to commit suicide.
As soon as they returned to the common room, Fred, George and Lee Jordan appeared without warning.
“Failed!”
Fred got straight to the point and said, "However, Mr. Zuko is very interested in the Wizard Cards and seems to be interested in cooperating with us."
"That's a pity." Albert was not interested in this unequal cooperation at all.
"You seem to have guessed it a long time ago?" George raised his eyebrows and looked at Albert a little depressed.
When they went to Zuko, they were completely ignored. The guy was extremely arrogant in some ways.
At least, that's what all three of them thought.
"If you have no money, who will help you?" Albert rolled his eyes at Li Jordan, not hiding the fact.
Most people are profit-seeking, not to mention that Jokowi himself is a businessman. It would be strange if he would pay attention to someone asking him for advice without giving any benefits.
"Okay, don't worry about it." Albert said with a smile, "Zoko wouldn't want a similar store to compete with him, so it's normal for him to dislike you. If your store becomes popular in the future, his store might go bankrupt."
"So that's how it is."
The three of them were still a little depressed and felt that the situation would be better if Albert went.
"Okay, cheer up. We're going to attend a Halloween party soon. Wasn't there a skeleton dance troupe?" Albert took out candies from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of several people.
The Halloween dinner started at seven o'clock, and Albert planned to take some time to write a letter to the thief Mundungus.
Of course, Albert didn't expect Mundungus to be able to find the right things in one go, but with enough Galleons, he believed that the thief would be willing to help.
After all, money can make the devil work, let alone asking someone to help find something
So, before seven o'clock, Albert and his roommates went directly to the auditorium, and met the Harry Potter trio on the way. They left the crowd and walked towards the underground classroom.
"Where are they going?"
Lee Jordan looked at the three people's backs as they left and asked puzzledly.
"Of course, to attend the ghost's banquet." Albert ignored Harry and the other two and walked straight towards the crowded auditorium.
There was a huge pumpkin lantern in the corner of the auditorium, and a large group of bats were flying around the enchanted ceiling. The most eye-catching thing was probably the stage in front. A large area was vacated there, and a layer of hazy fog blocked everyone's view.
Many people looked over there, they knew that the Skeleton Dance Troupe was behind the fog.
Soon after, the banquet, hosted by Dumbledore, opened with a performance by the Skeleton Dance Troupe, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Albert looked up at the stage and saw a bunch of musical instruments on the stage. A wizard dressed in heavy metal style clothing began to speak to adjust the atmosphere. A large group of students surrounded him like a group of fanatical fans.
It was indeed heavy metal music, and the sound echoed in Albert's ears. It was a pity that he had no ability to appreciate it. While everyone was shouting wildly, he slowly cut the steak and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I don't know why they are so famous." Shanna muttered softly. She was one of the few Gryffindor students who did not come forward to watch.
"Maybe it's the charm of music!" Albert glanced at the parchment in his hand. Ginny Weasley had disappeared from the map and had obviously entered the Chamber of Secrets.
"Do you believe this?" Sana looked at Albert with a strange expression.
The performance lasted for more than a quarter of an hour. The Skeleton Dance Troupe sang three songs for the students before leaving the stage under everyone's reluctant gazes.
Everyone else returned to their seats and enjoyed this exquisite banquet.
Perhaps it was because the Skeleton Dance Troupe attracted everyone's attention that no one noticed that the savior Potter was missing.
The food at the dinner was exquisite. After Albert had eaten his fill, he began to think about a question.
No one died in the basilisk incident from beginning to end. Was it an accident or intentional
Did Tom Riddle really not know
Many things really cannot stand up to scrutiny!
So many coincidences put together can no longer be considered coincidences.
Moreover, Albert suspected that Tom Riddle must also know the Human Tracing Charm, otherwise how could he attack the target accurately without being discovered by others
“Damn it.”
Thinking of this, Albert felt sick. He felt that he needed to master the advanced shielding spell as soon as possible to make himself disappear directly from the map of the human trace spell. Only in this way could he ensure that he would not be targeted.
If he used an advanced shielding spell to block his existence, it would be difficult for owls to find him. However, he had many owl letters, and he could not give up contacting other people. He had to think of another way.
