Albert, comforted by Isobel, was no longer anxious about the dangers that might be encountered in the third project.
Because he knew that he could not fail. Since he could not fail, the one who should be anxious should not be Albert, but the fake Moody, or Barty Crouch Jr.
"It seems that you have been having a good time these past few days."
Fred, George, and Lee Jordan could all clearly sense the calm aura of Albert. This was the Albert they knew, confident and calm, as if everything was under control. The reassuring Albert was back again.
"How did you do on the test?"
Albert sat down in the empty seat next to the three people, made himself some breakfast, and found a topic to chat.
"The two guys next to you have completely given up. I bet they will all fail their final exams." Lee Jordan complained with disgust on his face. "They even have the nerve to laugh at others for being nervous during exams. Professor McGonagall should make them repeat the year next year."
"It's very rare for students to repeat a grade at Hogwarts." Fred and George looked at each other, as if they didn't care at all.
"At worst, we don't need the Ultimate Wizarding Exam Certificate. Anyway... we have already obtained the OWL certificate."
The Weasley brothers soon stopped being so arrogant because Professor McGonagall was glaring at them with dissatisfaction, and the girls around them were covering their mouths and laughing at the scene.
"Anderson, after the warriors finish breakfast, please gather in the conference room next to the auditorium." Professor McGonagall came over to inform Albert that the warriors' relatives were invited to watch the final.
"They Apparated here?" Albert frowned and asked, "I hope the wizard's way of traveling doesn't make them uncomfortable."
"Don't worry, they're fine," Professor McGonagall comforted.
"I'll be there after I finish eating."
After Professor McGonagall left, Albert said to Fred, George and Lee Jordan, "I'm afraid I have to go now. See you later."
After saying that, he began to eat voraciously. After finishing the food on the plate under the gaze of several people, he took out a handkerchief from his robe pocket to wipe the corner of his mouth, stood up and walked across the hall to the temporary meeting room.
When the door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside, everyone inside turned their heads to look over.
Fleur's little sister Gabrielle held her mother's hand and smiled and waved to Albert, who waved back.
Krum's parents were communicating quickly in Bulgarian, seemingly not worried at all about being overheard, but they didn't know that Albert could understand Bulgarian.
The Potter family members were Mrs. Weasley and her eldest son Bill, both of whom nodded and smiled at Albert in a friendly manner.
Albert shifted his gaze to Nia, who was talking to Isobel, and walked directly towards them.
"Are you the only ones watching the game?"
Albert thought Daisy and Herbert would also come to see Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Nia came forward and gave Albert a hug, smiling and explaining, "They were not available, Isobel brought me here."
After several years, Albert finally fulfilled his promise and gave her the opportunity to come to the long-awaited Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"Thank you, Isobel." Albert and the red-haired girl looked at each other and said with a smile, "Come on, I'll take you around the castle.
Before leaving, Albert said hello to Mrs. Weasley.
When passing the auditorium, he did not forget to remind a certain savior: "Potter, they are waiting for you in the conference room!"
Harry looked puzzled, obviously not thinking that the Dursleys would come to the game.
The three of them walked out of the auditorium under the gazes of countless students.
“Who is that pretty girl next to Albert?”
Pretty girls always attract boys' attention, and handsome men and women tend to arouse gossip. As soon as the three of them walked out of the auditorium, whispers were heard inside.
"McDougal, his girlfriend!"
"No, I mean the other one?"
"have no idea."
"I'm sure there's no such person in the school."
"It should be his family members."
The girls who heard Professor McGonagall's words just now were full of envy and jealousy. They were not envious of Nia, but of Isobel who came to watch the game as Albert's family member.
Nia looked back at the whispering behind her, then turned her head to Albert and said, "You are really popular in school."
"How do you feel about the legendary Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" Albert asked with a smile. "By the way, this is for you."
Albert pulled a piece of parchment from his pocket and handed it to Nia.
"What is this?" Nia asked in confusion as she opened the parchment. "A tourist route for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"
"Yes, if there is anywhere else you want to visit, please tell me." Albert actually nodded in acknowledgment.
"Your arrangements are very detailed." Nia smiled happily. Albert is always so considerate.
The three of them first went to visit the portraits in the corridor and tried to communicate with them. This was definitely a very novel feeling, even though Albert had shown Nia many moving photos before.
“It’s not as magical as I imagined.”
Nia commented simply as she looked at the moving staircase above her.
She was not Harry's Aunt Petunia. She had heard Albert talk about the various magical aspects of Hogwarts a long time ago. She had also seen many photos of Hogwarts taken by Albert for her. She already had a certain understanding of this magical wizarding school. The places Albert took her to were nothing more than places in the photos.
"This is the entrance to Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."
Albert pointed to the faucet in the girls' bathroom and said, "There is a snake mark on it. You can use the snake language to open the entrance to the secret room. There is a basilisk corpse underneath. However, it is very dirty inside, so we will not go down."
"Can you open the secret room?" Isobel asked curiously.
"I've learned a few words of snake language, so it's no problem to open it." Before Albert led the two away, he did not forget to explain, "Miss Ghost can often be seen here, but she doesn't seem to be here today."
"Do you always sneak into the girls' bathroom like this?" Nia asked with a slightly raised eyebrow.
"That's an exception, and since you're at Hogwarts, there are some places you shouldn't miss." Albert explained gently, "Many people don't know the exact location of the Chamber of Secrets."
Next, Albert took Nia to visit many places.
From the dining hall to the classroom, he took many shortcuts and used several hidden secret passages, and met the naughty Peeves along the way.
What is the Special Contribution Award for the School
Nia asked curiously when she saw three medals for Albert's "Special Contribution to the School" in the trophy display room.
"A reward that schools use to get students to shut up," Albert explained.
"It seems you know a lot." Isobel looked at Albert deeply. She really didn't know that Albert had won the "Special Contribution Award to the School" three times. There are very few students who can win this award.
"There are some things I promised to keep secret." Albert coughed lightly and took them to see the armor corridor and the armor that could move by itself.
"The wizards used magic on the knight's armor."
Albert introduced to Nia, "When necessary, the armor and statues in the school will become a barrier to protect Hogwarts."
"You know it very well."
"Because I know what the spell is." Albert said mysteriously.
"So, the knight armor and statues here are all soldiers in the castle?" Nia was a little surprised, because there were quite a few knight armor and statues here.
Afterwards, they went to the library on the fifth floor and looked through the so-called magic books. However, Nia was not interested in these things because Albert had a lot of magic books, and she couldn't use magic, so it was useless to read them.
Nia was surprised by the prefect's bathroom on the sixth floor because the bathtub was so large and luxurious.
The three of them toured the castle floor by floor.
Sometimes the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Only those who know nothing about Hogwarts can experience the novelty of just arriving at Hogwarts!
"This is the Room of Requirement."
Albert pointed to the entrance that had just appeared and said, "It can be turned into the room you need. It's my favorite place in the whole Hogwarts."
The three of them pushed the door open and saw a very comfortable lounge inside.
"Very few people know about the existence of the Room of Requirement," Albert introduced to Nia. "This place is very suitable for doing anything, because once someone goes in, no one else can go in."
“Really a great place.”
Nia felt that Albert and Isobel probably came here often to date.
"You must be tired from walking. Let's sit down and rest for a while!" Albert waved his wand and conjured up three cups of milk tea and three pieces of cake.
"Magic is such a convenient thing," Nia said sourly.
"It's really convenient, but it has its limits." Albert closed his eyes, and a window appeared on the opposite wall. The breeze from outside blew into the room through the open window.
"I want to go outside and ride a broom." Nia said to Albert, looking at the sky.
"Of course," said Albert, "but let's go to other places first and then go riding a broom in the afternoon."
Albert had no intention of disrupting his original schedule.
"According to your arrangement." Nia nodded obediently.
The Fat Lady was not happy that he had brought a stranger into the Gryffindor common room, but they did not stay in the common room for long before leaving.
Afterwards, they went to the Ravenclaw common room and let Nia experience the riddle of the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker.
"You can't get in if you can't guess the riddle?" Nia couldn't guess the answer at all.
"Yes, anyone who can guess the riddle can enter the Ravenclaw common room."
"But can anyone really guess what the riddle is at the beginning?" Nia muttered.
“People usually need to learn.”
“So, this isn’t about guessing riddles, it’s about remembering the answers,” Nia complained.
"I memorized most of the answers to the bronze eagle door knocker riddles. There are probably more than a hundred of them."
"It's really your style. I prefer the style of Ravenclaw's common room." After walking into Ravenclaw's common room, Nia asked Albert puzzledly: "Why were you sorted into Gryffindor? You should like it here more."
“Because I met some friends.”
The three of them did not stay in the Ravenclaw common room for too long and left amid everyone's curious gazes and whispers.
Everyone was discussing who the beautiful girl next to Albert was.
"Aren't you going to the other common rooms?"
“You can’t go there. The Slytherin common room is under the dungeon. You need to use a password on a stone wall. It is said that you can see a giant squid at the bottom of the lake from the window.
The entrance to Hufflepuff is also underground, near the kitchen. To get in, you need to knock on a wooden barrel rhythmically. It is said that if you knock wrong, the barrel will spray you with vinegar.
"Have you been there?"
"No, it's impossible to go to the Slytherin common room. Many people in that house discriminate based on blood lineage. But as for Hufflepuff, if you want, I can ask a friend to take us in for a tour," said Albert.
"Forget it then." Nia shook her head. "My expectation over the years has been to come to Hogwarts. Now I am very satisfied."
Rather than visiting Hogwarts excitedly, Albert prefers Nia to visit the entire Hogwarts calmly as she is now, making up for the regrets she had in the past and fulfilling her previous dream.
After all, Nia is no longer the immature girl she used to be.
Not long after, the three returned to the castle for lunch and met Harry, Bill and Mrs. Weasley who had just returned from touring the castle in the foyer.
After greeting each other, both sides went into the hall to eat together.
Nia looked at Bill's long hair and fanged earrings with a hint of disgust in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
Influenced by Albert, Nia prefers handsome, sunny and secure boys.
During lunch, Harry, the Weasley family, Albert and Lee Jordan gathered together to eat and chat. Albert introduced Nia to everyone again.
However, with the exception of Mrs. Weasley, they had all seen Nia at the World Cup.
During the conversation, they inevitably talked about the recent exams. Fred and George finally suffered the consequences of their perfunctory performance on the exams and were severely punished by Mrs. Weasley.
Hermione, who joined temporarily, was treated coldly by Mrs. Weasley because of Rita Skeeter's report. Finally, after Harry's explanation, their previous relationship was restored.
After lunch, Albert declined the invitation to take a walk together later and took Isobel and Nia outside to ride their broomsticks.
Albert also took Nia to meet Hagrid.
However, Hagrid was talking to Madame Maxime and they seemed to have made peace with each other.
"They are really tall," Nia muttered.
"It's a matter of bloodline," Albert commented simply, "but they are both relatively gentle people, but they are prone to making stupid mistakes sometimes."
"I can see that."
Under Nia's expectant gaze, Albert took out two flying brooms and handed one to Isobel.
"There's no way I'm letting you control the broom."
Albert explained under Nia's complaining gaze, "Falling from the sky is not fun."
"I can't." Nia was a little dissatisfied, "Besides, you can definitely catch me with magic."
"No, there is no room for negotiation." Albert shook his head and said, "You can only let Isobel or I take you to the sky."
Nia finally compromised and got on Albert's broom, because Isobel was not very good at flying, at least not for Albert.
Feeling the cool breeze blowing in her face, Nia shouted loudly: "Can you fly faster?"
Albert leveled the broom, started to speed up, and flew around the school.
"It's great, this flying feeling is really great."
Nia hugged Albert's waist with both hands, squinted her eyes and felt the wind blowing past her ears, smiling very happily. She liked the feeling of flying very much and hoped that they could continue flying like this.
