"well!"
"You're not coming to Hogsmeade with us again?"
"Sure enough, since he got a girlfriend, he has completely abandoned us."
"What a guy who forgets his friends for the sake of beauty."
Fred, George and Lee Jordan each spoke with a smile and teased Albert as he fiddled with his cloak in front of the dressing mirror.
"Shut up!"
Albert turned around and glared at the three people who were teasing him, then changed the subject and asked, “When are you going to give me my Christmas present?”
"What a cunning guy." George muttered and motioned for Fred to give the thing to Albert.
The latter immediately took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from his drawer and threw it to Albert, “George and I have prepared a surprise for you.”
"You guys don't mind if I unpack now?"
Albert opened the gift box without waiting for Fred and George to reply. Inside were two strange egg custard biscuits, which looked a bit shabby.
"How long have you kept it? Is this thing still edible?" Albert removed the wrapping paper, sniffed the custard biscuit, and asked with pretended disgust.
"Don't worry, we've been using a freezing spell to preserve it, so it's definitely still edible." Fred almost patted his chest to assure, "I'm sure it'll bring you an unexpected surprise."
Albert looked at the Weasley twins suspiciously, and the two guys immediately narrowed their eyes as if they wanted to see him make a fool of himself by eating egg custard biscuits.
"Hehe, don't think I don't know that this thing is just a joke prop you invented."
Originally, Albert was about to put the custard biscuit into his mouth, but suddenly the thing was put back into the box.
The two of them turned their heads away with awkward smiles, obviously a little embarrassed to be exposed.
"What effect?"
The twins turned their heads and whistled, pretending they hadn't heard.
"Who can show me a demonstration?" Albert asked, shaking the custard biscuits in his hand.
"he!"
Fred and George raised their fingers and pointed at Lee Jordan, saying in unison.
"You two bastards."
Lee Jordan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He didn't want to pay any more attention to the Weasley twins. He took out a small gift box from his cabinet and handed it to Albert.
"My Christmas present?"
Albert reached out to take the exquisite little gift box, and after opening it, he found several brand new wizard cards inside. These should be Lee Jordan's latest products.
Albert took a careful look at the contents and felt that they were all good.
"I want to make a card deck related to the secret room." As soon as Lee Jordan finished speaking, he couldn't help but shout, "Assholes, what are you trying to do? Stop it now."
When Albert was reading the effects and introductions on the wizard cards, he heard a noise of fighting nearby. He turned around and saw Lee Jordan being forced to eat custard biscuits by Fred and George.
The next moment, Lee Jordan was an ugly canary covered in feathers.
"Transformed cookies?"
Albert grabbed Lee Jordan's arm with interest and looked at the feathers on it.
"We prefer to call it a canary biscuit," Fred and George said in unison. While they were talking, Lee Jordan's feathers had completely fallen off and returned to their original appearance.
"It tastes a bit weird, you need to find a way to cover it up."
Albert picked up a canary biscuit and took a bite, savoring the flavor of the biscuit. It was a little different from ordinary egg custard biscuits.
After he swallowed the biscuit, he soon turned into a giant canary, or a strange man covered in feathers.
Albert tried to pluck the feathers off his body, but found that he was actually in pain, as if the feathers were growing on his body.
"What did you add to it?" Albert asked curiously after the feathers fell off.
"A potion found in the library." Fred explained with a wink. "A Transfiguration potion."
"What do you think," George asked nervously, "will it be popular with everyone?"
"Everyone will probably like this prank product." Albert took out his wand and waved it gently, and all the feathers that fell on the ground disappeared. "However, canary cookies are still easy to detect, and they taste different from ordinary egg custard cookies."
"If I'm free some other time, I'll help you take a look. I'm very busy recently." Albert said as he walked downstairs.
"Busy with dates," George muttered.
"If you are envious, then go find a girlfriend right away. Be careful because all the pretty girls have been dated by others," Albert joked.
The three of them couldn't help but roll their eyes. This guy really doesn't feel any pain in his waist just because he's talking while standing.
"What's going on over there?"
Albert, Fred, George and Lee Jordan walked through the hall and saw a large group of people gathered around the notice board, reading a piece of parchment that Filch had just nailed up.
"Let's go and take a look." Lee Jordan immediately ran over to join in the fun.
The students around were loudly discussing the duel club that the school was planning to start.
"I always feel that this matter is a bit strange." George muttered, "I wonder who will teach us."
"Should we go? It seems useless." Fred lowered his voice and said, "I think there are probably few students in the school who can be our opponents."
Fred wasn't exaggerating. After Albert's training last time, they were far superior to other students in dueling.
"I heard that Professor Flitwick was a duelling champion when he was young. Maybe he can teach us." Lee Jordan came over to share the information with them.
"You think too much." Albert said after walking through the crowd into the hall, "This style is probably a trick played by Lockhart."
"Oops!"
Fred and George could not help but scream. They felt that Albert was most likely right again. If it was really Lockhart, the so-called Dueling Club would probably turn into a farce.
"Then shall we still go at 8 o'clock tonight?"
They all knew exactly what kind of person Lockhart was and were no longer interested in the so-called dueling club.
"Go, why not." Albert looked strange, "Maybe, we can watch a good show."
"I really don't know why Professor Dumbledore agreed to Lockhart's nonsense." Lee Jordan said in a low voice as he looked at the students who were discussing the Dueling Club in the hall.
In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Lee Jordan was asked by Lockhart to act out various monsters many times, which made him have a bad impression of Lockhart.
"Maybe he wants to ease the tense atmosphere in the castle." Albert put a few slices of bacon on his sandwich, took a big bite, and spoke vaguely.
"Don't you think this is funny?" Fred and George said with a laugh.
"Interesting?" Lee Jordan looked around the hall and found that many students in the hall had seen the notice and were very interested in the so-called duel club.
"It never hurts to learn something," George said with a smile.
"Then I hope to have the opportunity to receive personal guidance from Professor Lockhart." Lee Jordan suddenly smiled maliciously.
"Come on." Fred rolled his eyes. How could he not guess what Lee Jordan was thinking? "I think Lockhart will most likely look for Albert."
"No, he will look for Potter. Didn't you notice that Lockhart actually likes Potter very much?" Albert said meaningfully.
"Care about Harry, why?" the three asked in unison.
"Potter is very famous!" Albert said mysteriously, "and Professor Lockhart likes to be the center of attention. He probably wants to use Harry to become famous."
"No way!" George asked in confusion, "Aren't you famous too?"
"Stupid, Lockhart doesn't dare." Lee Jordan reminded him unhappily, "Don't forget, when Professor Quirrell saw Albert last year, he wanted to turn around immediately. With a fellow like Lockhart, if he dares to look for Albert, he will probably be tortured by questions in a few days and doubt his life."
George quipped seriously: "It seems that Professor Lockhart is smarter than Professor Quirrel!"
