"Albert, are you okay?"

At lunch time, Sana sat down next to Albert. She was still upset about Snape deducting a point for no reason in the morning.

"It's okay, what's wrong?" Albert skillfully spread a large amount of mayonnaise on his sandwich, put sliced tomatoes, two slices of fried bacon, and finally put a cold sausage on it and covered it with bread.

"By the way, you can still eat." Shanna asked in a low voice, "Did you offend Professor Snape somewhere?"

"No." Albert said without hesitation.

In fact, even if there is, he will not admit it, and the answer will only be no.

"I know about this." George, who was holding a piece of pie in his mouth, smiled and took a bite and said, "This story started two days before school started. At that time, we were wandering around the castle and happened to meet Snape. Albert went to ask Snape if he could take a photo."

George wanted to laugh when he talked about it.

"Yes, yes, I remember that." Fred beside him added, "Later, Snape said he would ask Albert a question in the Potions class."

"Is that why what happened this morning?" Sana said in surprise.

"Snape didn't let Albert suffer a setback, so he changed his method." Lee Jordan continued the topic, "So our Potions Professor gave Albert extra homework after class."

"Ahem, you are wrong. What do you mean by making me lose face?" Albert cleared his throat and said seriously, "Professor Snape thinks that I have a good talent for potions and is going to take special care of me to improve my potion skills. Don't you agree?"

"Yes, we just made a slip of the tongue." The twins quickly corrected themselves with an expression that said, "That's right, that's it."

Shanna was also amused by what they said, but she still asked suspiciously: "Is your thesis okay?"

"No big deal. I'll write one or two papers at the same time." Albert said casually. "I'm going to go to the library later and finish writing the two papers as soon as possible."

"Merlin's beard, you actually plan to go to the library to do your homework after eating. Don't we still have a long time to finish our homework?" Fred, George and Lee Jordan all looked at Albert with disbelief, all of them wondering why Albert was in a hurry to do his homework.

"It won't take much time." Albert took a big bite of the sandwich, chewed it slowly and swallowed it. "Besides, it's best not to squeeze all the homework together, so that you will have free time to do other things."

"You don't mind if I write with you later!" Shanna beside her winked and said, "It will be faster if we look for information together."

Perhaps, for Albert and Sana, who come from Muggle families, finishing homework as soon as possible has become a habit.

The Weasley brothers and Lee Jordan hurriedly moved away from the two, fearing that they would be infected with a horrible disease that would kill them if they didn't do their homework immediately.

All right!

In fact, they were afraid that they would also be dragged by Albert to do homework.

There is still so much time, why rush to finish it now

"Ahem, um..." Fred changed the subject stiffly, "We're going to go outside the castle and take a look. Do you want to come with us?"

"We can't go into the woods." Albert couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He would not take risks easily before he had the power to protect himself.

"We didn't say we were going into the woods," George said with a grin. "You did."

"How dare you say you haven't thought about it." Albert snorted unhappily. He knew that the twins would be frequent visitors to the Forbidden Forest in the future.

"That's right. Well, I meant to walk around. There are still some places in the castle that I haven't visited." Fred quickly changed his words.

"We don't plan to go into the woods, so let's go over there and take a look. I remember there is a small wooden house on the edge of the forbidden forest." George added immediately.

Albert looked up at the roof. It was a cloudy day. Well, he could go out over there to digest his food.

"Okay!" he agreed.

"Then let's go!" The twins took one side of Albert's shoulders.

"Wait, the sandwich is going to fall."

"Don't worry, I'll hold it for you!" Li Jordan took the sandwich with a smile.

"See you at two o'clock!" Albert greeted Sana and was carried by the three of them out of the castle.

There is indeed a small cabin at the edge of the forbidden forest.

As they approached the cabin, they found the gamekeeper outside, working on a mink skin. Next to him, a black hound barked in their direction.

The game warden looked up at Albert and the other three who were walking around and said, "Don't hang around here, there are scary werewolves in the Forbidden Forest. Few of them can come out safe and sound after entering. I don't want to help you collect your bodies."

Albert looked up at the barking black hound, took out the bitten sausage from his sandwich, and shook it in front of the black hound.

"He's really big!" Lee Jordan muttered. Although he had met him once before, he was a little afraid of Hagrid. After all, the height and dress of the man in front of him really... gave them a great sense of oppression.

"Are there really werewolves in the Forbidden Forest?" Albert was not afraid at all and walked towards the other party. If he had not known from books that Hagrid had a good personality, he would never have thought of contacting the other party after seeing his appearance.

Fred pulled Albert's coat from behind, intending to leave quickly.

Albert glanced at them speechlessly. Well, he admitted that his courage lay in cognition.

There was no way around it. The game keeper did look a bit scary. He was at least 15 feet tall, with a fierce, rough, bearded face and a patched fur coat. He looked like the legendary barbarian. If he walked around the city late at night, I wonder how many people he would scare.

Hagrid was also stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect someone to be so familiar.

Albert bit into a sandwich, squatted down and waved the sausage in front of the black hound, and the low barking gradually stopped. It slowly walked towards Albert, wagging its tail, sniffed the sausage, and then picked it up with its mouth and ate it. The three people behind him were a little stunned when they saw this scene.

Is this still a ferocious hound

Hagrid was also stunned. He didn't expect that his dog could be bribed by half a sausage. This little guy is quite courageous.
