After the Daily Prophet announced that Cornelius Fudge would be the next Minister of Magic, about two weeks later, the Daily Prophet's prize for the contest was delivered by the Owl Postman.

Snow was still falling outside, and the owl postmen swarmed into the auditorium as usual.

Among them, an owl throws a frosty envelope in front of Albert. In a moment, another owl threw a heavy-looking animal skin bag on the table in front of Albert, and the dull sound of metal immediately attracted the attention of the others around him.

Albert reached out and picked up the leather bag, doubled it, and after listening to the crisp sound inside, he guessed what was in the leather bag.

He didn't open the leather pouch on the spot, but put it in his backpack. Then, pull out your wand and use the Drying Charm to remove the frost from the envelope, and then open the envelope and read its contents.

The letter reads:

Congratulations, Mr. Albert Anderson.

You won 100 Galleons in the "Next Minister of Magic" quiz, sign it. - Barnabas Gufe

Note: Do not open the leather pouch, which is enchanted before signing, to ensure that Albert himself receives the Galleons.

Inside the envelope, there was another piece of parchment, a magical contract to ensure that the money was signed by Albert himself.

If someone else tried to take money from the hide bag that didn't belong to them, they would get into trouble, and as for what the trouble was, the letter didn't say, Albert guessed that it might be some kind of curse, or some kind of tracking magic, that would allow them to find the thief who stole the money.

Albert wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible and keep it a secret, but the secret always came and went.

Soon after, all the teachers and students in the school knew that he had participated in the Daily Prophet's quiz and had won a large sum of gold Galleons.

As for how much?

No one knows the exact amount, some say 50 Galleons, some say 100 Galleons, and some guess 200 Galleons, and in the end George couldn't help but tell the truth, which made a bunch of people envious.

Every time someone talks about it, the tone is sour, and it almost corrodes the ground into a big hole.

Now, everyone calls you "Lucky Albert." Sanna sat down in front of Albert and turned to ask, "What do you think?"

"That's good, I like it, and I hope to continue to be lucky and maybe win the jackpot again. Albert said with a smile.

"You can sleep on your table for a while now, and you might dream that you hit the jackpot. Shanna couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"I've always had good luck. Albert took out his wand, shook it in front of several people, and continued to flicker: "Mr. Ollivander told me that a wand made of redwood wood will bring luck to the user, and my wand is made of redwood. ”

"Sequoia wood can bring luck?" said Angelina, who looked suspicious, obviously not believing this.

"It has been said that wands made of cardinal wood can bring luck to the user, so they are very popular with wizards. Katrina looked Albert up and down with a strange gaze, "Of course, some people think this is pure nonsense. ”

"Of course it's true, I guessed right with the help of my wand. "Albert's wand of mine can really bring a lucky look.

Next to Lee Jordan's face was twitching slightly, in their memory, it was really like that. At the time, Albert simply "put his wand vertically on the table and let it fall freely to one side", and then somehow decided to press 25 Galleons on Cornelius Fudge.

When Fred told everyone what was going on, everyone was stunned with a look of what the you were kidding me.

What kind of operation is this, is this the right posture to win the jackpot?

However, this matter did not let everyone talk about it for long, and the Christmas holidays were already quietly approaching.

After Albert packed his belongings, he boarded the school's Thestrals carriage and traveled along the snow-covered road to Hogsmeade's station.

"What are you doing?" asked George, puzzled, as he saw Albert reaching for the front of the carriage.

"Don't you wonder what is pulling the wagon?" Albert said, gesturing to the snow, "Don't you see the footprints on the snow?"

"Something pulling the cart?" all three of them looked shocked, but the footprints on the snow were the best evidence, invisible horses.

"Thestrals. Albert said softly, "It is said that only those who see death can see Thestrals. ”

"I've heard of such creatures, and they're very unlucky. Lee Jordan tried to pull Albert away from Thestrals, and whispered, "I heard that these creatures will bring terrible disasters to those who see them, and it is a bad omen." ”

"You think too much, Thestrals are a kind of Pegasus, and their bad reputation is related to dead people, otherwise, do you think Hogwarts will use them to pull carts?" Albert couldn't help but give Lee Jordan a blank look, and pulled his luggage into the express train, ready to find an unmanned carriage to rest.

Looking at the leaping scenery outside the window, Albert was in a good mood. Along the way, several people chatted about things to do during the Christmas holiday while eating snacks.

When I'm bored, I also play the adventure of Bibi Duowei Beans proposed by Fred. The game is to close your eyes, pick up a random Bibi flavored bean and put it in your mouth, and see who is unlucky enough to eat the strange taste.

Lee Jordan was the most unlucky, he tasted a piece of earth, and he once again claimed in front of everyone that he was no longer eating Bibi Duowei beans, which made everyone laugh.

As the train began to pass through Muggle towns, Albert took off his wizarding cloak and changed into a Muggle coat. Thankfully, Daisy was careful to prepare his coat, otherwise Albert would have forgotten about it.

In the afternoon, the train finally stopped at King's Cross station.

Everyone was about to leave platform 9 and 3/4, but they were stopped at the ticket gate by a shriveled old guard who did not allow too many people to pass at once.

A large crowd of people came out of the solid walls at the same time, attracting the attention of the Muggles.

However, the students of Hogwarts still caught the attention of Muggles.

As soon as Albert stepped out of the wall, he noticed a man dressed in discord standing by the wall, surrounded by several members of the Ministry of Magic.

Among them, there is actually a person who uses the illusion spell on himself, however, the skill of the illusion spell is really not very good, and Albert vaguely captures his position.

Albert may not have noticed the other party until he mastered the Illusion Spell, but he still has some understanding of the Illusion Spell now, and it is not too difficult to find the flaw.

"Bye-bye, Albert!"

"Goodbye, Albert!"

Lee Jordan and Shanna waved goodbye to Albert.

"Goodbye. Albert waved at them as well.

"He's there, Mom, Albert is there!" Nia waved her hand and ran towards it. Albert smiled and waved to his family, then turned to Fred and George and said, "Goodbye, I'll go first!"

"Goodbye, my family is here too. Fred pointed not far away, and Albert saw the red-haired Weasleys, as well as Fred's brother Ron and sister Ginny.

"What are you looking at?" said Nia, grumbling dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, I'll buy you a snack. However, I'll have to wait until I get in the car before I get it to you. Albert reached out and touched Nia's head, but the girl turned her head sideways to avoid it.

"Don't touch a lady's head, that's rude. Nia grumbled solemnly.

Herb couldn't help but laugh, reached out and took Albert's luggage and asked, "How's life at Hogwarts?"

"Not bad, learned a lot of useful things. Albert said without thinking.

"Welcome home. Daisy smiled and handed Tom to Albert.

"It's getting heavier. Albert said, weighing Tom's weight.

"Tom spent a few days at his grandfather's house a while ago. Nia whispered, "You know Sansa's grandmother's personality, too. ”

Albert looked at his fat cat and sighed lightly. Sitting in the back of the car, Albert put Tom on his lap and muttered "It's time to lose weight." ”
