Chapter 455: Omen
Over the weekend, Albert woke up early in the morning.
No way.
At six o'clock in the morning, just after dawn, Wood knocked on the door of the dormitory, woke up Fred and George, who had not yet woken up, and dragged them to the Quidditch pitch for morning practice.
The other unlucky people in the dormitory were naturally woken up together, and in the midst of Lee Jordan's complaints, Albert was about to close his eyes and go back to sleep, but found that he couldn't sleep anymore.
While eating breakfast, Albert yawned and flipped through the new issue of the Daily Prophet.
He looked at a report by Rita Skeeter, and the original sleepiness suddenly disappeared, although the whole article was mocking the incompetence of the Ministry of Magic, but Albert was able to mention the general content from the article: the Ministry of Magic is looking for a wizard named Jack, because the guy smuggled dragon eggs into England without permission, and Wizard Jack is now missing.
Mention of dragon eggs in the newspapers?
This should be a precursor, and many things don't happen for no reason.
It seems that Quirrell has most likely already acquired the dragon egg.
In order to avoid Hagrid's suspicion, Quirrell could not give the dragon egg to Hagrid directly, and he had to wait for Hagrid to go to the pig's head bar for a drink before he had a chance to disguise himself as a vendor and ask Hagrid to drink and get him drunk.
"Is there any interesting news in the newspaper?" asked Lee Jordan, also yawning.
"The reporter named Rita Skeeter is very good at catching people's attention. Albert smiled and closed the Daily Prophet.
"Rita Skeeter loves the most. Fred dragged his tired body into the hall, he was now exhausted and hungry, and could swallow almost anything.
"But you can't deny it, everybody likes to hear her nonsense. George sat down next to Albert and began to complain loudly to them that Wood was a training freak.
"By the way, we're going to do our homework later, do you want to do it together?" Albert looked at Fred and George, and suddenly asked, "I think you haven't finished your homework this week!"
"We're going to go to the library to find some stuff later. Fred couldn't help but tilt his head to the side, preferring to find someone to learn from later.
Albert put together all the Gryffindors of his class and worked together on weekends to catch up on unfinished homework, so that everyone could communicate with each other if they didn't understand.
It's all about a study group.
Fred and George hurriedly stuffed a lot of food into their mouths, and then slipped away when no one else was looking.
Lee Jordan shouted the slogan of never borrowing Fred and George for homework, and began to bury his head in doing his homework, a group of people here just he hadn't finished it, Fred and George should have accompanied him to do his homework, but unfortunately, those two bastards actually ran away by themselves.
Shanna is practicing the Happy Charm with Angelina, and Professor Flitwick has hinted more than once that the Happiness Charm will be tested in the final exam, so the Happy Charm is the focus of everyone's review.
"I think Shanna has a good chance of winning the title again this time. Lee Jordan looked up and said, "Although this year's wizard card competition is much better than the previous one, there are still not many people who are really good at playing wizard cards...... One, okay, okay, I see, my mouth is not good?"
Lee Jordan obediently shut up under the gaze of a crowd.
"That Miss Isobel is unusual. Shanna glanced up at Albert, who was immersed in writing her dissertation, and muttered quietly. She wasn't complacent, Isobel put a lot of pressure on Shanna, obviously a person who didn't play wizard cards much, but she easily reached the quarterfinals.
Is this a true genius?
"Is the prize still 10 Galleons for the championship this time?" Angelina was a little depressed, she was eliminated yesterday in the eight-of-eight.
"Well, it's still ten Galleons. ”
The original little discussion was gone.
"I think you seem to be in the quarterfinals, right?" said Ron, who was doing his homework a few tables away from them
For some reason, Harry always felt that Ron's tone was sour.
"What are you going to do with the money?" Ron asked again. He seemed to be sure that Hermione would win a wizarding card tournament.
"To win the championship is to have ten Galleons. Hermione couldn't help but remind after reciting the twelve uses of dragon blood.
"yes, champion, I don't know what the point of him paying for this tournament is. Ron looked at Albert, who was not far away and was immersed in his dissertation, and muttered quietly, "Isn't it good to use this Galleon to buy something?"
Ron thought of Fred and George again, and the crisp sound of gold coins could always be heard in the pockets of those two bastards.
"Look, here we go again. Ron muttered inwardly as he saw Fred and George walk down the hall, almost trotting towards this direction. When they put a book in front of Albert, their mouths were still nagging: "We found it, look at this, we found it!"
Fred noticed that many people were staring at him, smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I hope I didn't bother you." ”
Albert glanced at the parchment he had almost pasted and glared at Fred disapprovingly, before turning his gaze to the book in front of him.
"Motra rats?"
"Look at this ......," George excitedly raised his hand and pointed to a text in the book: "People bitten by Motra rats will experience retching symptoms."
When George read this, Albert understood why the twins were so excited, was this going to use Motra rats to make vomit candy?
Albert read softly again: "In more serious cases, the anus will spark outward. ”
There is no doubt that if used correctly, it is possible to make a very funny joke device, and the sparks of the anus will definitely be sought after by the majority of students.
"It seems that this is a mouse full of treasures. Lee Jordan leaned his head over and muttered vaguely after reading all the contents of the book.
"It's a Motra rat. Fred corrected happily.
Lee Jordan was right, though, that the Motra rat does have many uses. Growths on their backs can be eaten after pickling to increase their ability to resist evil spells, but overeating them can cause unsightly purple ear hairs.
Wizards often use Motra Rat Juice to concoct potions, which can heal cuts and abrasions, even if used directly, and can also reduce the pain of wounds.
"We're thinking about where to get it, and it's not cheap to buy one. George said with a frown.
"You can find Mundungus Fletsch, maybe he can help get some. "And you don't need a Motra rat either, just let the guy get you some Motra rat ingredients." ”
"You're right, maybe we can give it a try. Fred thought about it and felt that it made sense, they had already checked the information, and the wizards who raised the Motra rats would only harvest the anemone-like growths behind them, which was also the most valuable place for this magical creature.
As for the teeth they might need to use Motra rats, maybe Mondongues can get some for them, and the price shouldn't be too expensive.
"What are they doing?" Shanna asked, looking at the twins' departing backs, "Don't they have to do their homework?"
"Leave them alone. Albert shook his head and said, "Those two guys will be coming over to do their homework soon, unless they want to be locked up." ”
Sure enough, Fred and George came over to do their homework together after writing the letter, and their foundation was quite solid, although they were completely distracted this semester, but with Albert's help, the schoolwork was not too bad.
As for Mundungus Fletsch, he directly offered a low price of three Galleons for one Motra Rat and five Galleons for two.
When the writer received the letter, he snuck out to the beach, where he spent a lot of time catching the two Motra rats and preparing to resell them to the Weasley twins.
Fred and George refused to pay for the two Motlas and wrote to Mundungus Fletch stating that they only needed Motla rats' front teeth and growth.
Receiving the letter, Montungus almost got his nose crooked, refusing to sell the Motra rat's front teeth to the twins.
Soon after, Mundungus unknowingly got a bunch of Motra rat's front teeth and planned to sell them to the Weasley twins for a whopping price of two sicos each.
After some haggling, Mundungus eventually got the deal with his nose and threatened not to sell them any more in the letter.
The Alberts scoffed at Mondigus's threats in the letter.
