Chapter 84: Birthday Present
Recently, the night tour of Hogwarts Castle has temporarily disappeared due to the tireless efforts of the caretaker Filch.
Fred and George didn't bother to test Filch's patience.
Of course, the main reason is that the two of them are too busy to spare enough energy to get up in the middle of the night and travel at night.
After almost a month of enrollment, the freshmen's course is gradually getting on track, and although there are not many classes per week, there is actually a lot of homework in each subject, and the two of them need to take time to participate in Gryffindor Quidditch training.
No way, who asked Fred and George to do their homework was far less neat than Albert's, and in addition to homework in various subjects, they occasionally had to find time to memorize important theoretical knowledge and practice magic.
Transfiguration is one of the most difficult to learn.
It took a week for Albert's three roommates to fully master the art of turning matches into needles and successfully pass Professor McGonagall's test.
Compared to the busy and fulfilling lives of the Weasley brothers, Albert's small life was undoubtedly very nourishing.
Albert always completed his weekly homework in a timely manner, and when it came to memorizing and memorizing, he couldn't stop it, and as for practicing magic, it was even more problematic, even the most difficult transfiguration for a freshman to master, but it didn't give Albert trouble.
Since Albert joined the Transfiguration Club, he has become more and more proficient in the use of Transfiguration.
Last time, Professor McGonagall had just finished teaching how to turn a stone into a teacup, and Albert had only tried a few times before he had mastered it thoroughly.
Of course, Albert always claimed that he had practiced for several days before he learned it.
As for Quidditch training, Albert will also be involved in "training".
However, I only go once a week, and not for training, but to play Quidditch with fans from the same house, enjoy the game and fly, and strengthen my knowledge of the rules of Quidditch.
Time passed quietly between his fingers, and Albert gradually fell in love with the campus life at Hogwarts, which felt very much like the university life in the previous life, doing what he loved, and planning his future life little by little in a leisurely life.
Except for the lack of electricity, no internet, no cell phones, no music, no movies, and no computer games, the rest of the place is quite interesting.
In particular, after mastering the basics of magic, I became more proficient in the use of magic charms.
By the way, just now, Albert had already mastered the summoning technique, and although he only summoned a blooming chrysanthemum, he succeeded in making the chrysanthemum bloom on the tip of his wand.
"Finally succeeded?" Fred reached out and took the chrysanthemum, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it and asked, "Can you conjure other flowers?"
"Of course, the orchids are in full bloom. Albert quickly put a few orchids on the table and whispered to himself, "With more practice, you should be able to conjure up a large bouquet of flowers." ”
"Awesome. "Li Jordan really admires, he knows that summoning is super difficult magic.
"Look, your package. George said suddenly.
Albert looked up and saw an owl flying towards him, and Fred and Lee Jordan immediately helped remove the food from the table to make room for the owl to land.
"Good work. Albert touched Sheila's back and opened the package to find two thick books inside.
The other gift was taped to the package.
Both are books on economics, and his grandfather Luke probably learned from Herb that his grandson was interested in finance, so he bought a book called "Principles of Economics" as a birthday present. As for the other one, of course, it was bought by Herb and is called The Nature of Finance.
Albert didn't pay attention to the books, and looked at another square package, which was torn open and filled with a delicately wrapped box with a small cake in it.
"Wow, who sent you the cake, good mini. Angelina's eyes lit up as she stared at the box in Albert's hand.
"Sent from home. Albert picked up the card, a happy smile on his lips. In fact, even if you don't go out of your way to look at the greetings on the birthday card, you can guess what is written in it.
The birthday card was written by Nia, and in addition to the usual wishes, it was emphasized that she also had a part in making the cake.
"Happy birthday. Shanna immediately figured out what was going on and sent Albert her blessing.
"Thank you. Albert picked up a new knife and fork, cut the chocolate cake in the box into six pieces, and distributed them among several acquaintances around him.
Happy birthday wishes rang in my ears.
It is better to be happy alone than to be happy in all.
Anyway, I'm going to go to class later, so it's obviously not convenient to take this thing with me. If you put it in a backpack, it will be squashed, but it will waste the family's mind, and, most importantly, Albert has just eaten.
"Wow, it's good that you're a year older. George ate on the chocolate cake, giggling and joking.
"If you are born 20 days earlier, you can start school a year early. ”
"Yes," Albert disagreed, and said lightly, "However, it's actually not bad to start a year late." ”
There were a few people present, but no one could understand the meaning of this sentence.
"By the way, these two books can't be your birthday presents, right?" Angelina looked into the unpacked package and found that there were two thick books inside, the top one with "Principles of Economics" written on it.
"Is there something wrong?" Albert asked, looking at Angelina quizzically.
Angelina felt the corners of her mouth twitch, and looked at Albert with a look that something was wrong, and she knew what to say for a moment.
Why is this man in Gryffindor?
"Can I take a look?"
"Feel free, just don't break it. Albert didn't mind anyone else looking at it, and they wouldn't be able to read it anyway, let alone be interested in it.
As Albert had guessed, Angelina picked up the brand-new Principia and flipped through two pages, feeling dizzy and unable to understand what was being written.
No, it should be said that she can understand every word, but she can't understand it when they are connected.
"I don't understand why your family sent you this. George muttered.
"Interest. Albert didn't intend to go any further, but instead diverted the subject, "Don't be too nervous, the broomstick is easy to use." ”
"I'm the only one who can't ride a broomstick?" muttered Shanna.
"Isn't cake to your liking?" Albert replied.
"No, no, I like chocolate cake. Shanna closed the Quidditch source and destroyed the cake in front of her.
In fact, Shanna couldn't help but be nervous, she felt that she might be the only one of the Gryffindor freshmen who couldn't ride a broomstick, which was a terrible feeling.
