After Albert's series of actions, the news that Professor Moody helped Albert put his name into the Goblet of Fire spread among the girls at Hogwarts like wings. Nothing can arouse students' curiosity and imagination more than gossip, and all kinds of strange rumors even reached the ears of professors.
In the afternoon, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts Office, Professor Moody was smashing things to vent his anger. Just now, someone ran over to ask him about the truth of this matter, and several girls even thanked him for putting Albert's name into the Goblet of Fire.
Yes, Professor Moody encountered this kind of thing on his way back to the Defense Against the Dark Arts Office. A group of people surrounded him and asked him about it. Everyone thought that it was Professor Moody who curbed the conspiracy of other schools to prevent Hogwarts from winning the championship.
Now most of the students in the castle thought that he had helped the mudblood throw his name into the Goblet of Fire. Even if Moody tried his best to deny it, he could not change the students' perception of it. The frustration and anger were like someone stuffing a ball of stinky mud into his mouth and forcing him to swallow it, which made Moody nauseous.
"Kill him, I must kill that stinky Mudblood!" Barty Jr. kept repeating this sentence. Anger, frustration and hatred were brewing in his heart. Professor Moody's terrifying face became even more twisted and hideous. Barty Jr. planned to use the Cruciatus Curse to torture the Mudblood severely before killing him.
However, little Batty didn't know that he had been arranged by someone else again.
His mixed feelings of shock and anger put Albert, who was on a date in Hogsmeade village, in an especially good mood. He was surprised to find that the surprise value of "joy from the sky" had exceeded 70%.
Originally, he deliberately hid himself during the Warriors selection, and gave Battie an unexpected surprise at the end, but the surprise value only reached 63%, so he felt that if he wanted to get a higher surprise value, he might have to directly reveal the true identity of the fake Moody. But Albert later found that after he thanked Moody, his surprise value actually increased slightly. Later, he deliberately asked Lee Jordan to help spread rumors, so that all the students in the school knew that it was Moody who helped Albert register, and Professor Moody's surprise value suddenly jumped to 71%.
In fact, just imagine that a student suddenly ran over to thank Professor Moody for helping Albert become a Hogwarts warrior. How could Professor Moody not be surprised

"What's wrong?" Noticing Albert's daze, Isobel parted her lips and asked puzzledly.
"nothing."
"Don't be distracted when we're making out," Isobel complained quietly.
"Sorry, you're so beautiful that I'm stunned." Albert said softly.
"You seem to be in a good mood."
"That's because you're with me. There are a lot of troubles at school." Albert kissed Isobel's forehead and said, "It's great to have you by my side."
"You're not telling the truth." Isobel felt very sweet in her heart when she heard Albert say this, and she kissed Albert's lips again. Both of them liked the feeling of being in love.
"Are you staying for dinner tonight?" Isobel asked expectantly.
"I would like to stay overnight, but unfortunately I have classes tomorrow. But it's not impossible. I have this thing." Albert showed off by pulling out a box from his deformed lizard skin bag, which contained a time converter.
"You swapped the time-turner?" Isobel was very surprised when she saw the time-turner in the box. "Did you make it yourself?"
"Of course not. You know I always cherish my life." Albert closed the box, put the time converter back into the lizard skin bag, and explained to Isobel with a smile: "I asked Fudge for this. It's like a deal with him."
"The Minister of Magic actually agreed to make a deal with you?" Isobel felt incredible.
"Of course he would agree. Sometimes the laws of the Ministry of Magic are not that important to Fudge. He prefers power and money." Albert shrugged and said, "However, frequent use of the time turner also has some disadvantages, which is that it ages faster. I dare say that when I graduate, my age will be about the same as yours."
The age difference between the two is not that big to begin with, and since they often use the time turner, it is actually normal for them to appear one or two years older than their actual age.
"I think you lack some respect for time magic." Isobel frowned and said, "You should know that the time converter is more dangerous than you think."
"Of course I know that, and I have always been very cautious when using it." Albert's frequency of using the time converter has been greatly reduced.
He quickly changed the subject and told Isobel about the troubles he had encountered after becoming a Hogwarts champion.
"It seems that sometimes being too popular is not a good thing." Isobel covered her mouth and chuckled.
"It's not like I want to be popular."
"Don't worry, they are just suddenly interested in you. Things will be much better after this craze wears off." Isobel held Albert's face and rubbed it gently.
"I just don't understand why those girls can't just calm down a bit. They know you're my girlfriend," Albert complained.
"Don't blame them. Girls are at an age where they like to fantasize. They probably think of you as... well, a prince charming." Isobel didn't think there was anything strange about it. She knew too well what those girls were thinking. "If you make the news of our engagement public, I think the girls will probably give up."
"Forget it. I don't want to be looked at strangely by a group of people." Albert brought the topic back to Isobel: "How are you doing recently? Are you used to working here?"
"It's a wonderful feeling to be supported by someone, but I'm a little confused." Isobel rested her head on Albert's shoulder: "I'm almost done writing the Guide to Ancient Magic Runes. I have to find some other work next."
"You can help me compile the Book of Magic Runes." Albert said without hesitation.
"With my level of ancient magic runes, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to help." Isobel knew what the "Book of Magic Runes" that Albert was going to compile was.
"After you finish the Ancient Magic Rune Guide, take a good rest for a while, and you will definitely find something you want to do." Albert said gently: "If you really don't know what to do, you can help decorate the sailboat in the laboratory. That ship is very important to us."
"The Second Wizarding War?"
Isobel actually hoped that Albert would take her away from England, away from that terrible place, but she knew that Albert had no intention of leaving, at least not before the worst happened.
Albert was silent for a moment. When the two were together, he didn't like to talk about these bad things, so he turned the topic to something lighter, such as talking about the warriors from the other two schools.
"I'm not interested in Quidditch stars." When Albert asked if he wanted him to help get Krum's autograph, Isobel looked at Albert with a smile, "In fact, I'm more interested in you."
"I thought we were all familiar with each other," Albert said softly, "both physically and otherwise."
"You still give me a sense of mystery." Isobel's cheeks blushed slightly.
"Is it because of that identity?" Albert asked tentatively.
"Probably not."
"Mystery makes people more attractive." Albert hugged the other person and asked with a smile, "Do you like me more?"
"I like it very much." Isobel murmured.
"Me too." Albert said with burning eyes.
After taking a bath, the two sat opposite each other and enjoyed the sumptuous dinner carefully prepared by the house-elves. They chatted casually about some light and meaningless trivia of life. Albert invited Isobel to watch the first game of the Triwizard Tournament.
"You're just bullying the warriors from other schools by doing this." Isobel took a sip of champagne and looked up at Albert who was eating steak.
"Not really, because other warriors will definitely cheat. It's a tradition." Albert said, looking at Isobel's skin which was slightly red in the firelight.
"What's wrong?" Isobel noticed Albert was looking at her.
"I suddenly feel that the youth potion is pretty good. If I can maintain my youthful appearance and have the Philosopher's Stone," Albert murmured, "it wouldn't be bad to live like Nico and his wife."
"You're thinking about retiring before you even start working." Isobel didn't want Albert to have any unpleasantness with the Nicoles because of the Philosopher's Stone.
However, Te did not know that if Albert wanted to, he could also create the Philosopher's Stone and the Elixir of Immortality. His confidence came from the designated skills rewarded by the panel task. As long as he chose the formula of the Philosopher's Stone, it would not be difficult to restore the Philosopher's Stone with his technology.
"Retirement is good. You can live the life you want." Albert said to Isobel, "Do you have a life you want to live?"
Isobel shook her head. In fact, many people have never thought about what kind of life they want. Their busy work forces them to have no time to think about such things.
"What about you?" Isobel asked.
"Live happily and joyfully." Albert said without hesitation.
"So, you signed up for the Triwizard Tournament?"
"I want to be your warrior."
"That sounds good." Isobel's cheeks blushed slightly, "But even if you don't participate in the Triwizard Tournament, you are already my warrior."
The rain outside was getting heavier, hitting the windows. The house-elf in the kitchen had already cleared the dishes from the table.
There was a blazing fire in the dormitory. The two of them lay snuggly on the soft bed, whispering to each other. Occasionally, the laughter of a young girl could be heard by the window.
Albert stayed in Hogsmeade until late at night, used a time-turner to go back a few hours, and dragged his somewhat tired body back to the Gryffindor common room.
It was close to eleven o'clock and it was still raining outside. There were not many students left in the common room. When Albert appeared in the common room, there was no more commotion.
Of course, it could also be that Harry Potter was sitting in the common room.
But, for some reason, he always felt an inexplicable sense of disharmony.
Well, minus Ron Weasley.
The trio became a duo, no wonder it looked a little strange.
Harry and Hermione were whispering to each other, and when Albert entered the common room, he immediately caught Hermione's attention.
"What's the matter?" Albert asked with a slightly raised eyebrow when he saw Harry walking towards him.
"Well, there's your letter." Harry took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Albert. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Can we talk?"
As the two talked, the students in the common room pricked up their ears and cast curious glances at them.
Albert took the note and glanced at the contents:
Dear Mr. Anderson:
I would like to speak to you in person through a two-way mirror after 11:30 this evening. —Sirius Black
"Sirius Black should have given you a two-way mirror. Give it to me first." Albert crumpled up the parchment and stuffed it into his pocket, then looked up and said to Harry.
"Two-way mirror, oh, you mean the mirror in the package?" Harry walked towards where he had just sat. There was an antique mirror in an unpacked package.
"Don't you know how to use this magic mirror?" Albert looked at Harry in surprise and asked, "Didn't Black tell you how to use it in the letter?"
Harry shook his head; he didn't even know what the mirror was for.
"The two-way mirror is a very old magical craft. It allows video communication between two mirrors, just like making a phone call. You can also see the other person's appearance in the mirror. Currently, the technology of the two-way mirror has been lost. It can be said that as time goes by, the broken one will be gone," Albert briefly introduced it to Harry and Hermione. "Shout out the owner of the other mirror to the mirror. As long as the other party hears your call and comes to the two-way mirror, you can talk to each other through this mirror."
"I can see him just by calling Sirius' name," Harry asked happily.
"Yes, as long as Blake is on the other side of the mirror, you can communicate in this way." Albert nodded and said, "Okay, give me the mirror first, and I will return it to you tomorrow."
"Um..." Harry hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Can you stay in the common room later? I don't want to be kept in the dark."
"If Black allows it, I have no problem with that." Albert found an empty seat next to the two of them and sat down. He bent down and picked up Hermione's Crookshanks and started petting the cat.
"Meow!" Crookshanks called out comfortably, wagging his tail gently, and rubbing his head against Albert's hand, showing great intimacy.
