At the Defense Society gathering, the news that Harry Potter's Boggart had turned into a You-Know-Who spread quickly throughout the school.
When the students who attended the party recalled this incident, their expressions were extremely complicated, because Harry Potter actually put an Irish skirt on the mysterious man.
A mixture of awe and excitement made many students want to witness this scene with their own eyes.
For a time, Albert's Defense Association gained some fame among students.
When they found out that Albert did not object to other students joining the party, many students decided to go to the Defense Association to take a look.
The next day, some rumors appeared on the black market, saying that for just one Galleon, one could see a photo of the mysterious person wearing an Irish skirt.
One Galleon, one photo.
It's simply a money grab.
After many students learned about this, they ran to Albert to protest.
The latter helplessly said that he was not aware of the matter. As for the photo, it was taken away by Porter after the party, so he no longer had the photo.
Yes, he really had no photos left, only the film.
Others wanted to see the mysterious man's photo for free from Albert, but the latter reluctantly said that he did not want to be put in detention by Professor McGonagall for spreading the mysterious man's photo.
It's impossible to get something for free from him.
If you want to see the mysterious person wearing an Irish kilt in person, you have to pay an expensive viewing fee, which is obviously unacceptable.
They went to find Harry, but he said he didn't have the photo either.
The angry crowd did not want to be cheated by the unscrupulous businessman, so they reported the matter to Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall was really shocked when she heard that someone was spreading the photo of the mysterious man, and she was ready to call Kenneth over to ask about the details.
However, Professor McGonagall was shocked to find that Kenneth was being treated by Madam Pomfrey in the hospital wing because someone had put powder in his pajamas, causing boils all over his body.
As for the spread of the mysterious man's photo, Kenneth insisted that it was pure slander and that it never happened. Someone wanted to frame him and even put foam powder in his pajamas.
Professor McGonagall had no choice but to leave the school hospital after warning Kenneth not to spread the photo of the mysterious man.
Many students expressed joy at the conspiracy against the unscrupulous businessman Kenneth, but this guy made a lot of money. There were always a few rich and curious guys in the school who went to him to see the photo of the mysterious man.
At some point, the image of a mysterious person with no nose, blurred facial features, and wearing an Irish skirt spread quickly throughout Hogwarts school.
As everyone knows, it was the savior Harry Potter who put the skirt on the You-Know-Who.
Although many students gasped when they heard the news, the image of the mysterious man became more and more popular after being spread by others.
"That idiot Kenneth would definitely be able to make a lot of money if he was willing to sell at a low profit margin and in large quantities," Lee Jordan complained indignantly.
If Albert had not forbidden him to spread the photo of the mysterious man around, Lee Jordan would actually want to share this joy with everyone.
They say there are no photos. Of course that is false. It is purely used to fool others.
"No, Kenneth is doing the right thing."
Albert placed a reference book in front of Lee Jordan. After noticing the confused looks of the three people, he said, "Even if there are many students willing to pay a silver Sickle, don't forget that as long as someone is willing to pay a Galleon, it is equivalent to seventeen people paying. Moreover, once this kind of thing spreads on a large scale, it will easily cause trouble. Making it a rare item and using it to lure those curious and willing to pay to watch it is actually the best choice, because even if someone reports it to Professor McGonagall, Kenneth can still say that someone is slandering him."
"Anyway, I'm upset that the guy is making money with your stuff." Fred complained, "You should have a share of it too."
"So, you put bubble powder in his pajamas?"
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence. I'll sue you for slander." Fred warned with a smile. It was indeed him who put the foaming powder in Kenneth's pajamas.
"Actually, Kenneth originally wanted to give me a share, but I refused." Albert said suddenly.
"You refused?"
When the three heard Albert actually refused, they were a little surprised.
"I want nothing to do with it," said Albert.
"That guy is so brave. Even though you refused, he still dared to do this." George admired Kenneth's courage.
"You guessed right, Kenneth has dug his own grave." Albert shook his head.
"How do you say it?"
"The mysterious man is not completely dead yet. He might crawl out of the coffin again one day. If he finds out about this, what do you think he will do?" Albert could pat his conscience and guarantee that he really didn't trick Kenneth. That guy went down the road of his own death and there was no turning back.
"How to do it?" Fred said without hesitation: "We must send Kenneth an Avada Kedavra directly."
“Then shouldn’t we…” Lee Jordan also realized the problem. As the person taking the photo, Albert would definitely become the target of the mysterious man’s revenge.
"If the mysterious man really crawls out of the coffin, I will definitely hide immediately so that he can't find me." Albert was prepared for this.
After all, he dared to take pictures of the mysterious man so blatantly, so he naturally considered the consequences.
"But you don't have to worry for now. If he really opens the coffin and climbs out one day, the first thing he will do will not be to cause trouble for us. By the time he hears about this from someone, we will have already hidden ourselves."
"Will that noseless guy really open the coffin lid and crawl out again?" Fred couldn't help asking.
In fact, they can guess the answer even without asking.
Albert's prediction is consistent with this incident.
"The mysterious man is not as scary as you imagined. Don't forget, we also have a savior on our side." Albert comforted with a smile.
"Harry is not as reliable as I thought."
"Harry will grow up." Albert said calmly, "As long as we take advantage of the panic caused by the mysterious man in the wizarding world, we can easily earn a lot of Galleons and fame in the field of Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"Alas, I find that in your eyes, the mysterious man is just a tool to make money." George admired Albert's courage and ability, and he also believed that Albert could achieve the prospects he described.
"If the mysterious man knew about this, his nose would probably be so angry that it would become crooked. Oh, and he has no nose." Fred was not actually too worried about the mysterious man's problem.
After all, Albert acted so calmly and was ready to make a fortune by taking advantage of the panic that the mysterious man brought to the magic world. It was obvious that he had predicted the mysterious man's fate through divination.
At least, Albert is confident that he can deal with the trouble brought by the mysterious man.
This made the three people who had already had great confidence in Albert start to get ready to make a fortune with Albert.
"Before that, you'd better finish your holiday homework."
Albert opened his notebook, checked the calendar on it, and reminded, "The Easter holiday is already halfway over, and you haven't even taken the time to review the exam content."
"You didn't review either?" said Fred.
"Of course I do," Albert corrected.
"You're not trying to say that you've finished all your holiday homework, are you?" George looked at Albert suspiciously. As far as he could remember, Albert hadn't spent much time on doing his holiday homework or reviewing his lessons.
"Almost done, only the last one is left to be done."
"When did you finish it?"
The three of them looked at Albert and said, "You have spent less time in the library than any of us."
"My homework is also better than yours... My efficiency is higher than all of you," Albert returned his gaze to the parchment in front of him.
To be honest, this paper on the existence curse was not difficult for him. What limited the speed at which he could finish his holiday homework was actually his writing speed.
"Did you mean to say that you have less homework than us during the holidays? Damn it, you have twelve classes to do, and you have less homework than us?"
"I didn't say that..." Albert argued, although he really wanted to say that.
"No, you definitely meant to say that just now."
"I think you should spend more time on your homework instead of continuing to argue about these meaningless things."
Just then, Hermione hurried over here.
"Something happened."
She said to Albert anxiously, "Something happened with Hagrid."
"What's going on?" Albert couldn't help but frown. He always felt that his Easter was cursed and there would be trouble every year.
"The Ministry of Magic just sent an owl letter saying that they have decided to change Buckbeak's appeal venue to Hogwarts." Hermione took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "Hagrid suspects that the Ministry of Magic intends to bring the executioner directly to execute Buckbeak."
"When?" asked Albert.
"the day after tomorrow."
“There’s still plenty of time.”
Albert spoke calmly, as if all the problems were not worth mentioning to him.
"But, speaking of which, didn't the Ministry of Magic say that the next appeal would still be at the Ministry of Magic? Why did they suddenly change their mind?"
Albert suspected it was the butterfly effect.
"I don't know. Hagrid wants you to..."
Albert raised his hand to interrupt Hermione.
"I'm free this afternoon, I can go to Hagrid's for afternoon tea!"
Hermione opened her mouth, and seeing Albert so calm, her originally nervous mood eased. She believed that Albert already had a way to save Buckbeak.
"Albert is very calm," Harry whispered to Ron. "I hope he can save Buckbeak."
"Harry."
Hermione looked uneasily at Malfoy, who had just passed them, and glanced at Harry reproachfully.
"He probably didn't hear it!" Harry looked at Malfoy's departing back anxiously.
"Don't kid yourself, Harry."
"What should I do now?" Ron said anxiously, "How about I go and beat Malfoy up..."
"Don't be silly, you shouldn't make trouble." Hermione looked at her two friends desperately, and she felt that she'd better tell Albert about this.
After the latter learned about it, he fell into a short silence.
If this keeps going, maybe Buckbeak will be saved!
However, Albert didn't want to take the gamble. He didn't have Potter's protagonist aura. If Buckbeak lost his head, Hagrid's mission would be completely ruined.
But what is Potter's situation now
Could it be that due to my influence, I have gradually become a bad teammate
In Albert's opinion, it was not terrible that Malfoy knew about this matter. After all, he could make the other party forget about it at any time.
However, Harry Potter is the savior, the one favored by the world.
If Porter really becomes a bad teammate, Albert thinks it would be better for him to stay away from him.
"The others are still not very reliable!" Albert murmured.
He was not disappointed by this. After all, with the existence of people like him, there would be some changes in the future.
Although Albert had tried his best not to change certain things in the past, even he had to admit that some things had changed because of him.
"Potter, don't let me down!" Albert murmured.
If Potter really is unreliable, don't blame him for using Potter as a sacrifice and personally sending Voldemort to his death.
…
"What did he say?" asked Harry anxiously.
"He said he would take care of it," Hermione consoled.
"But how is he going to solve the Malfoy problem?" Ron demanded.
"I think it should be the Oblivion Charm!" Hermione thought of a possibility. After all, Albert also had a time-turner, so he could ambush Malfoy on his way out and cast a Oblivion Charm on him directly, making Malfoy completely forget what Harry said.
If Hermione hadn't seen Albert take his pocket watch out of his pocket to check the time, she probably wouldn't have noticed it.
"Maybe we should also learn the Oblivion Charm," Ron whispered, "so that we can use it on Malfoy."
"Don't be silly. If the Oblivion Charm is used improperly, it may turn others into fools." Hermione frowned and said, "If I were you, I would do my holiday homework first instead of worrying about these things that can't help."
"I didn't mean to do that," said Harry.
"Of course I know you didn't mean it. There's no need to be discouraged Harry." Hermione comforted him softly, "Albert is different from us."
"I don't see any difference," muttered Ron.
"Don't you think Albert is becoming less and less like a human being?" Hermione showed a helpless bitter smile on her face. "No matter in which aspect, I doubt that the young Dumbledore is as terrible as Albert. You can't see his shortcomings. He is impeccable in every aspect. He can even solve many problems easily. He is simply omnipotent. I even heard that he plans to capture Black and take him to the Ministry of Magic to exchange for money. Think about it carefully. Black, who is notorious in the Ministry of Magic, is just a money bag in his eyes."
"Is it too late for me to sign up now?" Ron suddenly asked.
