After learning from Albert that Sirius Black might have disguised himself as a black dog, Fred, George and Lee Jordan often took out their free time to wander outside the castle, trying to run into the black dog Black around Hogwarts, but this approach was undoubtedly a waste of effort, as Albert never thought that Black would appear around the castle when there were many people.
If Sirius Black's Animagus form was a cat, there would be no need to worry about arousing suspicion. After all, there are many students who bring pet cats to school, and it is normal to have a few cats wandering around the castle. However, the appearance of another dog around Hogwarts Castle seems very suspicious, because except for Hagrid's hound named Fang, almost no students would bring dogs to Hogwarts.
However, Fred, George and Lee Jordan never gave up looking for Sirius Black.
"What are you doing?"
Albert and Isobel had just come out of Mrs. Puddifoot's tea shop when they saw three suspicious looking guys coming out of the alley.
"We are looking for the black dog you mentioned last time." Fred winked at Albert and said, "Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be here."
"We're leaving first so as not to disturb your date." George pulled Fred towards Zonko's Joke Shop.
"Oh, don't tease him, and don't scare him away." Albert warned. When he turned around, he found Isobel looking at him.
"Children are always curious," Albert explained with a shrug.
"child?"
"Let's go buy some snacks. What do you want to eat?" Albert changed the subject and pointed to the Honey Candy Store not far away.
"You told them?" Isobel was a little surprised that Albert would tell others these things.
"They are my friends and my helpers. Don't worry, I don't think they will mess things up for the sake of their dreams." Albert said confidently.
As the two were about to walk into Honeydukes Candy Store, they were attracted by a sudden scream.
Draco Malfoy seemed to have been greatly frightened and was running for his life, with Crabbe and Goyle following behind him.
Albert stopped and looked along the street, his eyes fell on the running Malfoy, and he raised his eyebrows slightly.
Suddenly, Malfoy's left foot seemed to be tripped by something, and he leaned forward, face down, and fell heavily to the ground in a dog-chewing mud posture.
That handsome face had large areas of scratches and his nose was bleeding, almost disfiguring him.
Goyle and Crabbe were not in a good situation either. In order to avoid Malfoy who fell, they also fell to the ground.
The sudden fall of the three people immediately attracted the attention of other students on the street.
People gathered around, pointing at the three people who fell to the ground and whispering.
In fact, there were many people who gloated over this misfortune, especially Ron Weasley, who also rushed over. After seeing Malfoy fall, he laughed so hard that he almost cried.
"Oh my god, Draco, are you okay!"
Several Slytherin girls came running over and helped up the dazed Malfoy.
Isobel glanced at Albert beside her, as if asking if he had done it just now. After all, Isobel had seen Albert causing trouble for Malfoy more than once.
Albert shook his head to indicate that this matter had nothing to do with him. He pushed through the crowd and walked forward, asking, "What happened here?"
"Harry, I saw Harry's head floating in the air." Malfoy said in horror.
Hearing Malfoy's words, Fred and George guessed what had happened.
George immediately said sarcastically, "Mr. Malfoy must be hoping that Harry will die soon, so he saw Harry's ghost."
"Maybe he got a broken head," Ron sneered.
"Okay, don't gather here. Who is willing to help take them back to the castle?" Albert looked around and asked, "The scratches on their bodies need to be treated by Madam Pomfrey. They may also need a glass of tranquilizer."
Most of the students clearly had no intention of returning to Hogwarts just yet.
At this moment, Ron raised his hand and said, "I can take the three of them back."
"So can we." Fred, George and Lee Jordan all expressed their willingness to "escort" Malfoy and the other two back to Hogwarts Castle.
"Go away, I don't need your hypocrisy."
Malfoy reached out and touched the wound on his cheek, his expression distorted in pain. He angrily pushed the crowd away and limped towards the periphery.
A Slytherin girl quickly chased after him, seeming a little worried about Malfoy's situation.
"I have to go back and tell Harry the good news."
Ron said hello to the others and left in a hurry. He had to return to the castle before Malfoy.
Isobel frowned and said, "This is not good."
"All three of them will become Death Eaters in a few years." Albert was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Their father is that kind of person. You will be able to read relevant news in the newspapers later."
This time, it was Isobel who remained silent.
"Honestly, to deal with unfriendly bad guys, you don't need to be too nice to them."
Albert picked up a small bag of Fizz Bees and said calmly, "Hagrid's Hippogriff will soon be sentenced to death, and that guy is the culprit."
The two did not continue the topic. After buying snacks, they went to the cottage in Hogsmeade.
The house has been completely rebuilt, and although nothing has changed on the outside, a huge change has taken place inside the house.
After careful decoration by the house-elf Bit, the room became warm and comfortable, and a blazing fire was burning in the fireplace.
The living room was covered with soft carpets and furnished with several comfortable sofas. There was also a large bed in the master bedroom. All the furniture in the room was purchased by Albert with Herb's help.
Then, the house-elves used magic to put the items into a storage box made by Albert and brought them here directly from the warehouse.
Now, Albert tried to fold and cut the room in space, trying to hide another layer of the room.
It's like there are two layers, and only those who are allowed can enter the real house.
After all, making the house disappear out of thin air is too suspicious. Even if it is disguised, it still cannot be hidden from a powerful wizard.
Therefore, Albert planned to use the Fidelius Charm to completely hide the other part. Then, he would let the house elves live in the outer layer for a few days to create traces that someone lived here.
However, this is a huge project. Fortunately, Albert is not working alone, otherwise it is unknown how long it will take to complete.
