Chapter 556: Full of Pits
"Are you really going to make this book the first prize of this year's wizarding card competition?" Lee Jordan looked up at "I Can Magic" that Albert handed to him, and asked speechlessly, "I dare say that this must be the most unpopular championship prize of all time." ”
"It's valuable, with Lockhart's autograph on it!" Albert reminded with a laugh.
"Signatures? As long as it's a book written by Lockhart, he'll be willing to sign it. Fred pouted disdainfully, "I think this year's champion would probably be more willing to take ten Galleons than to want this broken book." ”
"Are you supposed to use this book as a prize in a wizarding card tournament because you don't want it?" George looked at Albert with a strange expression, "I think this book seems to be the prize after you wrote a poem for Lockhart!"
At this moment, all three looked at Albert with strange eyes.
"No, this is a kind offer from Professor Lockhart when he learns that I intend to use his book as a prize for the winner. Albert said with a smile, "In other words, this time the winner will not only have ten Galleons, but will also be able to obtain the autograph of "I Can Magic" kindly provided by Professor Lockhart. ”
The corners of the mouths of the three of them twitched slightly, which means that this book was obtained from Lockhart for nothing, and it really deserves to be Albert!
The three of them had nothing to say, maybe the girls would be interested in Lockhart's book, right?
"By the way, how are you getting in touch over there?" Albert casually diverted the subject.
"Dad has already put us in touch, and you know there's a way over there, but the price can be high, and the reply should be in the last few days. Fred and George looked at each other and said in unison.
"But is that really good? I guess I have to invest a lot of Galleons, and I can't make a profit by putting it into production now. Lee Jordan said a little irritably, it's a good thing how the Wizard card can be officially put into production, but if it can't be sold, it will definitely lose money, and they don't have a lot of money.
"Do you think I'm a loser?" Albert said with a smiling smile, "we're sure we'll be able to make money, don't worry, it's a unique business, and it's not about asking for a price first, and it's not about going into production right away." ”
Although Albert is very confident, and they are also very confident in Albert, there is still no bottom in the psychology after all!
In the end, several people could only trust Albert's arrangement, although the Weasley twins preferred Albert to spend his limited Galleon on the development of joke devices.
After chatting about it, the three of them went back to the dormitory to get their homework and prepare to go to the library together.
Hermione suddenly leaned over and discussed with Albert the spells used by Lockhart in the book Walking with Trolls.
"Didn't you go ask Professor Lockhart?" Albert looked at Hermione in confusion.
"Professor Lockhart thinks I should ...... alone"
"No, no, Professor Lockhart may be right, but it will waste a lot of your time. Albert interrupted, "I think you should go and consult Professor Lockhart, at least better than me, wouldn't you?"
Hermione felt that what Albert said made sense, and that part of the knowledge in the book would be difficult to learn if no one explained it.
"You can be with other girls. Albert kindly reminded, "It's best to form a Defence Against the Dark Arts club, and then invite Professor Lockhart to give you professional guidance, it's not hard to see from the book that the professor is very good at dealing with dark arts and dark creatures, even if it's just verbal instruction, you can benefit a lot." ”
"That's a good idea. Hermione nodded, and then heard Albert say, "If Lockhart doesn't want to, you can just invite Harry into the club, and Lockhart will be happy to help you." "Weichang
"I see, thank you Albert. Hermione sped away.
"You shouldn't do that. ”
Harry walked over to Albert with Ron after Hermione walked away, but his face looked very gloomy.
Harry didn't want to be pulled into the "Worship Lockhart Club" by Hermione at all.
"Professor Lockhart has done a lot of great things, and he must be experienced in fighting dark magic and dark creatures, and if you can reveal some experience, you will benefit immensely. Albert said with a smile.
Harry's expression froze, listening to Albert tout Lockhart like this, although it sounded a little reasonable, but it always felt very unreliable.
What Lockhart is, Harry has known it all over the month, and to be honest, he is skeptical of Lockhart's great deeds. After all, most of the Muggle books are fictions made up by the author, and who knows if Lockhart has so many great books, is it also his own fiction?
"Harry, would you like to join in?" Hermione hurried back, a notebook in her hand, looking at her two friends, "We're ......"
Just as Albert was thinking about how to get out, Fred, George and Lee Jordan came over with their homework and provided him with the perfect assist.
"I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, and you can continue to talk. Albert said to Hermione, "If you need a badge, you can come to us and give you the cost price." ”
With that, Albert and his roommates went to the library.
"I always felt that guy had bad intentions. Harry muttered as he looked at Albert's departing back.
"I've heard Fred say that Albert is very good at the defense of the dark arts, and that their dueling skills are all taught by Albert. Ron suddenly said, "I saw them duel with wands during the summer vacation, and it was really powerful. ”
"Didn't you say you couldn't use magic outside of school?" Harry remembered that he had been warned by the Ministry of Magic, and he had suffered a lot because of it.
"As long as there are other wizards in the wizarding world, the Ministry of Magic can't figure out who uses magic. Ron reminded, "I remember telling you about it before. ”
"Oh, it seems like that. Harry was even more depressed, he didn't want to talk to Hermione about Lockhart, and now that he saw Lockhart hiding, it was too late, how could he be willing to take the initiative to come over, wasn't that asking for help?
"Is Albert really good?" Hermione looked at Ron curiously, trying to get an answer from the other party.
"It's amazing. Ron said quietly, "Remember last semester, when Albert scared Malfoy out with a few words?"
"I remember Albert as if he had made a prophecy to Malfoy, saying something. Harry was glad that the two had turned the conversation to Malfoy.
"By the way, did that prophecy come true?"
"I don't know. ”
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, and the three of them could no longer remember what Albert had said to Malfoy, and the topic could no longer be discussed.
