It was sunny on the weekend.
The breeze brought a cool autumn breeze, and looking out from the window of Gryffindor Tower, you can see students playing and frolicking on the lawn.
The door to the lounge entrance swung open. Lee Jordan had just crawled in from the corridor. He looked up and looked around. His eyes fell on Albert who was standing by the fireplace. He walked over quickly and said, "Albert, I heard that you beat up a Slytherin student."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people in the lounge turned their heads and looked over here, seeming to be very interested in this topic.
"Oh." Albert stopped what he was doing, looked up at Lee Jordan who was walking towards him, and asked in confusion, "What do you mean I beat up a Slytherin student?"
"Literally."
At this time, the entrance to the Gryffindor Common Room was opened again, and Fred and George hurriedly crawled through the corridor.
"I heard that you beat up the Slytherin people." As soon as the two entered the lounge, they looked Albert up and down, and after a long time, they said, "Well done, next time, remember to call us."
"What's going on?" Albert asked.
"You don't know?" George looked at the people around him puzzledly.
"I don't know." Albert shook his head, "I have been practicing the Cutting Spell."
"But everyone is talking about this!" Fred saw the confusion on his friend's face and realized that something was wrong. "Just now, they said..."
"Stop, I don't remember hitting anyone." Albert immediately stopped them from talking, "Besides, look at my thin arms and legs, do I look like someone who is good at fighting?"
After saying that, Albert even reached out and patted his wrist, with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"
On the surface, Albert is indeed not considered strong, at most he is not thin.
"It's good enough that the other party doesn't come to attack me." Looking at the stunned expressions of several people, Albert said unhappily.
"You cast a spell on them?" In fact, George also felt that the rumor was not very reliable. If it was said that Albert cast a spell and knocked down the Slytherin students, it would be more believable.
After all, the magic level of this guy in front of him is indeed much higher than that of other freshmen in the same class.
"Be careful or I'll sue you for libel." Albert glared at George and pointed at the armchair next to him, motioning the three to sit down and listen to him.
"Then what's going on? Why do so many people say that you..."
"Shut up, do you believe in rumors?" Albert said unhappily, "Believe it or not, I will find a bunch of people and spread the word that you like to hum and dance in the bath."
"Is this true?" Li Jordan's eyes flashed with curiosity.
"Be careful or I'll beat you up. Albert said it was a rumor." Fred said unhappily.
"Tell me what's going on. Rumors can't be without reason." George motioned for the two to be quiet and let Albert speak.
"As you know, after breakfast on weekends, I often walk around with my camera and take some photos." Albert began to recall what happened not long ago. "In the corridor on the second floor, I met several Slytherin students. They walked towards me side by side. At that time, I stepped aside to make way for them, but one of them still bumped my shoulder. I don't know what happened, but the person who bumped into me fell to the ground, holding his shoulder with a look of pain on his face."
Speaking of this, Albert looked innocent, "Later, I reached out and pulled him up from the ground, and then he screamed inexplicably. This time he covered his palms, and I didn't understand what was going on."
"Is that it?" The three of them looked puzzled.
"Why do people say that you beat that Slytherin student into the school hospital?" George said with a strange look on his face.
"How could I know?" Albert thought for a moment and said seriously, "Maybe I persuaded those Slytherin students to take that person to the school hospital for a checkup."
Especially after listening to Albert's description, he himself was the most innocent victim, as if he had encountered an unexpected disaster.
The three of them looked at each other, stunned.
To be honest, if you didn't know Albert, you would really believe it. But when this guy is fooling others, what he says is really easy to believe, and things may be just as he said.
The actual version is:
Albert had just finished breakfast and was about to go for a walk and take some pictures with his camera. On the way, he met several classmates from Slytherin, who were walking side by side towards Albert.
At that time, Albert really moved aside to make way for them, but that group of guys really wanted to cause trouble and were ready to hit him with their shoulders.
Albert never thought that he would encounter such a bad thing, but he was not someone who could be easily provoked. He was not afraid if someone caused trouble for him, whether it was by direct action or by using a magic wand.
In the eyes of others, there was a Slytherin student who fell down holding his shoulder, and Albert who looked stunned.
It is needless to say whose problem it is.
Then, Albert politely reached out his hand to pull the other person and asked if he was injured.
The man probably wanted to pull Albert to the ground, but when he held Albert's hand, he was pinched hard, and tears came out of his eyes due to the pain.
To those who witnessed it, Albert looked helpless and innocent, but somehow the story got around to being said that Albert had beaten up the Slytherin student."
"The man was admitted to the hospital wing, and was said to have been cured by Madam Pomfrey."
"Actually, my shoulder is also injured." Albert suddenly said seriously.
The three of them rolled their eyes.
"Anyway, I am also a victim in this matter. Who knew he would be like porcelain that would break at the slightest touch?"
Those who were eavesdropping couldn't help but laugh when they heard Albert describe the Slytherin students as fragile porcelain.
Gryffindor and Slytherin students have never been on good terms with each other.
"What are you doing?" Lee Jordan stopped dwelling on what had just happened and watched Albert cutting a piece of wood.
"Didn't I just say that I was practicing the cutting spell?" Albert picked up a wooden cross with a few circle-shaped objects next to it.
"This looks like the wood from the guardian tree!" George suddenly said.
"Well, I got it from Hagrid a while ago. It's just for practicing the Cutting Spell." Albert nodded as a matter of course.
Fred reached out to take the cross and commented, "But the workmanship is really crude. Do you want to give it to someone as a talisman?"
"If I make it into an amulet to give to someone, I will definitely make it more exquisite." Albert said unhappily.
"Are you sure that the items made from the guardian tree can protect people from the invasion of dark creatures?"
"Who knows." Albert couldn't be sure whether the thing in his hand was effective, but it was not difficult to find out. He just had to ask someone.
