Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 83: Birthday present

Views:

Recently, the night tours of Hogwarts Castle have temporarily disappeared thanks to the unremitting efforts of the administrator Filch.

Fred and George had no intention of testing Filch's patience.

Of course, the main reason is that the two of them are too busy and simply cannot spare enough energy to get up in the middle of the night for a night tour.

It has been almost a month since the enrollment, and the freshmen's courses are gradually getting on track. Although there are not many classes to attend each week, there is actually a lot of homework for each subject. Moreover, the two of them also need to find time to participate in Gryffindor's Quidditch training.

There was no way around it. Fred and George were not as efficient as Albert in doing their homework. Besides doing homework in various subjects, they also needed to take time out to memorize important theoretical knowledge and practice magic.

Transfiguration is a particularly difficult skill to learn.

It took Albert's three roommates a week to completely master the trick of turning matches into needles and successfully pass Professor McGonagall's little test.

Compared with the busy and fulfilling lives of the Weasley brothers, Albert's life was undoubtedly very comfortable.

Albert always completed his weekly homework on time. Reciting and memorizing were not difficult for him. As for practicing magic, he had no problem with that. Even Transfiguration, which was the most difficult spell for freshmen to master, did not cause any trouble for Albert.

Ever since Albert joined the Transfiguration Club, he has become more and more proficient in the use of Transfiguration.

Last time, Professor McGonagall had just taught Albert how to turn stones into teacups, and after only a few tries, he had mastered it completely.

Of course, Albert always claimed that it took him several days of practice to learn it.

As for Quidditch training, Albert will also participate in "training".

However, I only go there once a week, and not for training, but to play Quidditch with enthusiasts from the same college. While enjoying the game and flying, I also strengthen my understanding of the rules of Quidditch.

Time passed quietly between fingers, and Albert gradually fell in love with the campus life at Hogwarts. This feeling was very similar to his college life in his previous life. He did what he liked and planned his future life bit by bit in a leisurely life.

Except for the fact that there is no electricity, no internet, no mobile phones, no music, no movies, and no computer games, everything else is quite interesting.

Especially after mastering the basic knowledge related to magic, I have become more and more proficient in the use of magic spells.

By the way, just now, Albert has initially mastered the summoning technique. Although he only summoned a blooming chrysanthemum, he successfully made the chrysanthemum bloom on the top of the magic wand.

"Finally succeeded?" Fred took the chrysanthemum, put it to his nose and sniffed it, and asked, "Can you conjure up other flowers?"

"Of course, orchids are in full bloom." Albert quickly placed a few orchids on the table and whispered to himself, "With more practice, you should be able to create a large bouquet of flowers."

"Awesome." Li Jordan was truly impressed. He knew that summoning was an extremely difficult magic.

"Look, your package." George said suddenly.

Albert looked up and saw an owl flying towards him. Fred and Lee Jordan immediately helped move the food on the table to make room for the owl to land.

"Thank you for your hard work." Albert touched Sheila's back, opened the package and found two thick books inside.

Another gift was firmly taped to the package.

Both books are about economics. Grandfather Luke probably learned from Herb that his grandson was interested in finance, so he bought him a book called "Principles of Economics" as a birthday gift. As for the other book, of course it was bought by Herb, and the title of the book is "The Nature of Finance".

Albert paid no attention to the books and turned his gaze to another square package. After tearing open the package, he found a beautifully wrapped box with a small cake inside.

"Wow, who sent you a cake? It's so mini." Angelina stared at the box in Albert's hand, her eyes lit up.

"It's from home." Albert picked up the card with a happy smile on his face. In fact, even if you don't look at the greetings on the birthday card, you can guess what's written on it.

The birthday card was written by Nia. In addition to the usual blessings, she also emphasized that she also contributed to making the cake.

"Happy birthday." Sana immediately figured out what was going on and sent her blessings to Albert.

“Thank you.” Albert picked up a new knife and fork, cut the chocolate cake in the box into six pieces, and distributed them to several acquaintances around him.

Happy birthday wishes ring in my ears.

Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone.

Anyway, I have to go to class later, and it is obviously not convenient to carry this thing. If it is put in the backpack and squashed, it will be a waste of the family's thoughts. Moreover, the most important thing is that Albert has just eaten.

"Wow, you're one year older, that's great." George joked while eating chocolate cake.

"If you were born twenty days earlier, you could have started school a year earlier."

"Yeah," Albert didn't take it seriously and said calmly, "But, it's not bad to start school a year later."

No one present understood the meaning of this sentence.

"By the way, could these two books be your birthday presents?" Angelina took a look inside the opened package and found two thick books. The top one was titled "Principles of Economics."

"Is there something wrong?" Albert looked at Angelina in confusion and asked.

Angelina felt the corners of her mouth twitching, and there was something wrong with the way she looked at Albert, and she didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Why is this person in Gryffindor

"Can I see it?"

"Whatever you want, just don't damage it." Albert didn't mind others taking it to look at it. They wouldn't understand it anyway, let alone be interested in it.

As Albert guessed, Angelina picked up the brand new "Principles of Economics" and flipped through two pages. She felt dizzy and had no idea what was being written in it.

No, it should be said that she can understand each word, but she can't understand them when they are put together.

"I don't understand why your family would send you this," George muttered.

"It's just my interest." Albert didn't intend to go into details, but changed the subject and said, "Don't be too nervous. It's easy to use a flying broom."

"Am I the only one who can't ride a broom?" Sana murmured.

"The cake is not to your liking?" Albert answered irrelevantly.

"No, no, I like chocolate cake very much." Shanna closed Quidditch Origins and finished the cake in front of her.

In fact, Shannah couldn't help but be nervous. She felt that among the freshmen in Gryffindor, she might be the only one who couldn't ride a broom. This feeling was terrible.
