Due to the outstanding performance of the Gryffindor team in the Quidditch match and the important roles played by Harry and Albert in solving the Chamber of Secrets incident, the house won a huge number of points, enabling Gryffindor to successfully defend the house cup with an unprecedented high score.
At the end-of-year banquet, scarlet and gold decorations filled the banquet hall. The long table at Gryffindor House was particularly lively, and everyone was celebrating this great victory.
Only the Slytherin students and their head of house had gloomy faces. Malfoy stared at Harry Potter with resentment, and no one knew what evil thoughts he was thinking.
On the last day of the semester, the school announced the test results.
Albert was once again the undisputed number one in the class. After studying hard, Fred and George passed the exams in every subject.
The journey back on the Hogwarts Express was not smooth sailing, as Albert had expected.
Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle couldn't wait any longer and were ready to beat Harry up.
However, they didn't know that Fred and George were also lurking, and when Malfoy and his friends ambushed Harry as he came out of the bathroom, the two who had been hiding under the Disillusionment Charm "happened" to see this scene.
So, he used the magic he learned from Albert a while ago on Malfoy and the other two.
The spell produced such a bright light that Harry could not even open his eyes.
When the light faded, Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle were lying unconscious on the corridor outside the toilet.
"What happened to them?"
Ron deliberately stepped on Malfoy's body, walked to Goyle's side and squatted down, looking at the little tentacles emerging from Goyle's face with interest, feeling particularly happy.
"It seems that Albert is right. Some spells cannot be mixed." George said seriously, "But the effect is very interesting."
"Well, let's not leave them here, it will affect other people." Ron looked at the disheveled Malfoy, and then looked at the toilet in the bathroom with ill intent, obviously wanting to stuff this man's head into the toilet.
"No, put Mr. Malfoy's head in the toilet and he will drown." Fred said as he used his wand to control the three people to stand up, and together with George, he posed for them in a loving hug.
“I think people who come in later will be amazed by their relationship that goes beyond friendship.”
George raised the camera he borrowed from Albert and took a few photos of the three of them. He smiled and said, "Look, now we even have proof of our friendship."
"Don't forget to erase their memories," Lee Jordan reminded. "Who among you knows how to cast the Oblivion spell?"
The twins looked at each other, neither of them had ever used this spell.
"The Obliviation Charm?" Harry asked.
"It's to make them forget what just happened for a short while." Fred raised his wand and explained.
"Be careful not to turn people into idiots."
"Wouldn't that be better?"
"No, that will get you into trouble. Come on, hurry up, it's not a good idea to crowd in the bathroom." Lee Jordan said and turned and left.
"Oblivion is emptiness."
Fred pointed his wand at Malfoy's head and muttered quietly.
After using the Forgetfulness Spell, the expressions on the three people's faces became more and more confused.
"Very good, very good." He was very satisfied with the effect of the forgetfulness spell.
"What happened to them?"
Hermione walked over here and looked at the three people in the bathroom with stunned expressions.
"Nothing, let's go and don't disturb their love."
Everyone left the restroom together, closed the door, and put up a sign saying "out of order".
"I think old Malfoy will have some unexpected surprises after finding his beloved son."
"Who wants to play the wizard card?"
"I have to return the camera."
"Maybe, they were kissing in the carriage."
“Then you should go and see it.”
Hermione looked at the three people leaving together, not knowing what to say.
Looking at Fred who handed him the camera, Albert asked, "Solved?"
"Solved. I have some nice photos here. Do you want them?" Fred reached into his pocket and took out the photo, ready to hand it to Albert.
"Forget it, that's your grudge." Albert put away the camera and sent Fred away, lest there be a light bulb here to disturb their conversation.
After the carriage door closed again, Albert continued the previous topic.
"So, after the return of the You-Know-Who, the entire British wizarding world will fall into panic, and Defense Against the Dark Arts items will become even more popular. I plan to make a fortune from this. And then, add in the big prize my family won from the Muggles, and we will have a considerable fortune. Well, the Muggle lottery jackpot is more than you expected, at least millions of pounds. If all of it is converted into Galleons, it will be at least 200,000 Galleons."
"This is a loophole in the Ministry of Magic's laws." Isobel never thought that Albert would use this method to make money. "You should know that winning the lottery is something you can only do once."
"Of course I know these things." Albert said nonchalantly, "But who really cares about the laws of the Ministry of Magic? The Ministry of Magic won't know these things either. Besides, the Ministry of Magic is very busy this year."
"What will happen?"
Albert placed his hand gently on the crystal ball and kept his gaze on it for almost a minute. A portrait of Blake appeared in front of them.
"What's this?"
Isobel looked at the bounty in the crystal ball and frowned.
"A wanted list for Sirius Black." Albert said without hesitation, "As far as I know, Black is imprisoned in Azkaban Prison. The appearance of his wanted list means that he has escaped from prison. You know, no one has ever escaped from Azkaban Prison. The Ministry of Magic will definitely be in chaos, and no one will pay attention to the fact that I used divination to get myself a large sum of pounds. In fact, they can't notice it because there is no evidence. The Ministry of Magic rarely pays attention to things in the Muggle world."
"Are all your predictions the results of what you saw through the crystal ball?"
Isobel finally understood what Albert's so-called prophecy was about, and she felt it was not an exaggeration to label Albert a liar.
The so-called prophecies are all his predictions.
"What you see through the crystal ball is ultimately limited, just like divination with a runestone. You need to get the information yourself and then further analyze it." Albert said with a smile: "Professor Trelawney envies me. Her divination ability is not as convenient as mine."
"I thought she was a liar."
"She is a liar most of the time."
Listening to Albert's talk, if you don't know his background, you would really think he is a liar. But Albert has an intuition that others don't have in certain things. Maybe the prophecy and talent have given him confidence, and he is too confident, although he looks handsome when he is confident.
Albert cherished his life very much, which made Isobel feel satisfied. At least she didn't have to worry about her life safety in the coming storm.
The two talked about France, Nicolas Flamel, the potion of youth, and anything else that interested them.
Time passed by unknowingly, and the Hogwarts Express gradually slowed down. The two got off the train together, passed through the entrance, and returned to the Muggle world.
They separated on the platform. Isobel stayed to wait for Katrina, while Albert walked out of the station alone and saw Herb talking to someone outside King's Cross Station.
After seeing Albert, Herb smiled and waved over here. He took the suitcase and stuffed it into the trunk.
As soon as he opened the car door, Fat Cat Tom pounced on him like a meat bomb.
"Long time no see, Tom." Albert picked up Tom and put him in the back seat. After closing the door, he shook the weight and said, "Sure enough, I still need to lose weight."
"You've said it several times."
"You put on makeup?" Albert asked in surprise, looking at Nia's delicate face. Nia had changed a lot, becoming more beautiful, like a porcelain doll. This was the advantage of European girls, early maturity, youth, and vitality.
"Is there a problem?" Nia asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, putting on makeup so early will make you look old easily." Albert frowned and reminded, "You should exercise more, your skin will naturally get better, there is no need to put on makeup, Isobel rarely wears makeup."
"Does the wizard have a magic potion that can make the skin better?" Daisy suddenly asked.
"I think you'd better not drink that weird stuff if you know what those so-called potions are made of." Herb interrupted and reminded.
That left a bad impression on him.
"There are some, but the effect is average." Albert recalled and said: "I can help you pay attention to it. Girls always like to make themselves more beautiful."
"real?"
"Of course." Albert said, "Since we can make people immortal, why can't we make people look young? At least, delaying aging should be possible."
"Magic is so amazing. If those rich people knew about it, they would go crazy." Daisy looked a little excited.
"They won't, because these potions have not been discovered yet." Albert lifted Tom high up. "Of course, it is true that there are wizards who open beauty shops. Isobel has also done research in this area. I'll ask her some other day and tell you if it's really effective."
"Women!"
Herb shook his head slightly, restarted the car, and drove towards the distant highway.
"go home!"
