"What happened to him?"
"I'm having an epileptic seizure!"
"Send him to the school hospital quickly."
On the night of returning to school, some accidents happened in the Gryffindor common room. After Kenneth Toller learned that the heir of Slytherin was captured and Harry Potter killed the monster hidden in the Chamber of Secrets, he felt a stinging in his chest, his eyes rolled back, and he almost fainted.
Everyone thought Kenneth had an epileptic seizure, so they rushed him to the school hospital. The unfortunate guy was given a large glass of tranquilizer by Madam Pomfrey, and he barely calmed down. He was mumbling something, and now he had to stay in the school hospital for observation.
Just as George had mocked him in the library, Kenneth had indeed acquired quite a few effective amulets, planning to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. However, he found that all the goods were in his hands, and he almost fainted from anger on the spot.
This incident also caused a small commotion.
However, most people's attention is now focused on Harry Potter and Albert Anderson.
As for Lockhart's resignation, it has also become a topic of much discussion.
Many students were surprised to find that the school had undergone tremendous changes just after they returned for Easter. What surprised them even more was that Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets really existed and contained a terrible basilisk.
This discussion continued until late April, when it was replaced by the topic of Quidditch matches.
As the school returned to its former peace, the Quidditch match that had been suspended continued.
Wood was probably the happiest.
In this year's Quidditch competition, Gryffindor is expected to win the championship again.
After all, the Gryffindor team had already defeated its strong rival Slytherin.
As for the House Cup, Gryffindor's leading score made other houses despair. Even Snape had to give up struggling. Although he still often found excuses to deduct Gryffindor's points, he still could not shake Gryffindor's leading position.
Time passed quietly in May, and Hermione told Albert something.
"Fred and George thought it would be best to come to you before doing this. If you think the plan will succeed, then our plan will have a great chance of success."
After hearing what Hermione said, Albert was speechless.
"Tell me about your plan!" Albert agreed to help.
The quest panel triggered a "liberation" quest, and although the reward was average, due to the friendship of the house-elf Dobby, and considering the possibility of hiring house-elves in the future, he was still willing to help.
After all, Albert never complained about having too many house-elves. They were always very reliable and hardworking helpers.
"We're going to send a package to Lucius Malfoy. Inside the package will be a bunch of odds and ends, including socks. I think Lucius Malfoy will definitely throw the package to the house-elf. The problem is that we have to let the house-elf find the socks in the package in time and free them." Hermione talked about her plan.
"You haven't contacted the house-elf yet. Maybe you can secretly send it a few letters and tell it about this." Albert said without hesitation.
"Well... We are worried that the envelope will be discovered by Lucius Malfoy, causing the plan to fail!" Harry explained, "We hope you can help us with divination. Or, Fred and George said that you are very accurate."
"Well, I think you have a great chance of success." Albert also believed that the house-elf would leave the Malfoy family.
If Harry actually sent the package.
"You can write down your speculation and send it to Lucius. I think he will be very angry after reading it." Albert gave Harry some advice. "By the way, tell him that when the mysterious man comes back and finds that the treasure he asked him to keep is lost, he will definitely be very angry."
"The You-Know-Who kept it for the Malfoys?" Harry asked in surprise.
"You think Lucius Malfoy would have that kind of thing? That diary is a very strange thing, otherwise it would be impossible to open the Chamber of Secrets."
"So, bad luck is going to happen to Lucius Malfoy soon?" Ron looked amused.
"No, he's already in trouble. I guess you didn't read the Daily Prophet carefully a few days ago." Albert handed a newspaper to Ron and pointed to a part of the content below:
Lucius Malfoy was expelled from the school board.
Of course, the Daily Prophet would not write the reason, only a few short sentences, but Albert's words undoubtedly came true.
"Brilliant!" Ron cheered. "I don't think Malfoy will ever get so high up again."
Harry also enjoyed seeing Malfoy suffer misfortune.
Fred and George's laughter came from outside the door, and then there was a knock on the door. When he opened the door, Fred, George and Ginny were standing outside the dormitory.
"What are you whispering about here?" George asked
"Let old Malfoy lose his servant." Albert changed the subject: "What were you laughing at just now?"
"We ran into Percy on a date." Fred laughed wickedly. "Kissing in an empty classroom. It was the Ravenclaw prefect, Penelope Clearwater."
"Bumped into?"
Albert looked at Fred and George speechlessly. It was obvious that they bumped into him on purpose.
"Percy will beat you if you continue like this. No one wants to be disturbed on their date," Albert reminded.
"Including you?"
"Including me, of course." Albert said noncommittally, "In fact, they started dating a long time ago."
"You knew it a long time ago!"
"If you had gone to Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop, you would have run into them. Of course, I promised Percy that I would keep it a secret for him." Albert easily blocked Fred and George's complaints.
"Will they get married in the future?" Hermione had a good relationship with Percy and also liked to listen to this kind of gossip.
"It's a bit difficult." Albert noticed that everyone was looking at him, and shrugged helplessly, "Percy will probably join the Ministry of Magic. In fact, it shouldn't be difficult for you to guess this. If he wants to climb up, he needs to find a powerful pure-blood wizard family to marry in order to ensure a smooth career path in the future."
"I shouldn't have asked you." Fred and George couldn't help but cover their faces with their hands, no longer holding any expectations for Percy's love.
"Is that really the case?"
The cruel reality was a big blow to Hermione.
"The magic world is actually very exclusive. The top leaders of the Ministry of Magic are all controlled by pure-blood wizards. Muggle wizards can't get along in the Ministry of Magic." Albert said to Hermione, "I guess you will join the Ministry of Magic in the future. The road will be difficult unless you find a backer. As for the Potters, there shouldn't be such a problem. The Potter family is also an ancient family, and Harry Potter is a savior, which is a plus."
"What about you?" Hermione asked again.
"I have never thought about joining the Ministry of Magic, nor am I interested in the power of the Ministry of Magic." Albert asked with a smile, "Do you know how many people there are in the British wizarding world?"
"Ten thousand?"
"I don't know. I think there are less than 10,000. The number of wizards is actually very small."
"The total number of wizards in Britain is probably enough to fill a village! It's not difficult to estimate the approximate number from the students who enter Hogwarts every year." Albert sneered: "To put it bluntly, the Minister of Magic is just a village chief."
As ironic as it sounds, it is true.
