Chapter 205: The Mouse
The busy and fulfilling college life always goes by very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the time has rushed to the end of October.
The rainy season continues every year, and the weather is getting colder and colder, just like last year, and the situation is as bad as ever.
"On a rainy day, it's always hard to get up!"
Albert covered a yawn and looked up at the rainy ceiling overhead, looking for an excuse for his laziness.
"Early. ”
Fred and George were on their side, reaching out and patting Percy on the shoulder to greet his brother who was sitting next to him. This beat made Percy, who was eating, choke and coughed dryly.
Albert passed the drink next to him a little funny, Percy poured a large mouthful into his mouth, swallowed the food in his mouth, and glared fiercely at Fred and George, who used Albert as a shield.
The two of them are opening and closing their lips, and if they can read the lip language, it is: You swallowed it yourself, don't blame us.
It was then that the students were caught by the arrival of a large number of postmen, owls who had traveled long distances in the rain swooping through the rain-soaked windows, throwing the rain on the heads and bodies of everyone in the auditorium.
A gray owl threw a boxy package in front of Albert.
"It always feels like you get emails every day. Fred said enviously, pointing to another owl flying in this direction.
The owl sent a letter.
Albert glanced at the messenger, stuffed the envelope into his pocket, and then opened the package in front of him, which contained a copy of the Advanced Magical Translation that still smelled of ink, and it was most likely that the book had just been sent by the Blotted bookstore. ”
"Advanced Magical Translation?" Percy glanced at the title of the book and frowned slightly, because he had never heard the name of the book as an ancient demonic scholar.
"This is Professor Babling's latest book, and it seems to be a reference book for the senior class's Ancient Magic Script. Albert explained casually.
To be honest, the book was published a little faster than he expected.
"Professor Babling's own book?" Percy looked at the senior magician translator suspiciously, and borrowed it from Albert to read.
A moment later, a thick letter from home fell in front of Fred and George, and their mouths were still chattering: "Mommy has mistaken us again." ”
"What's wrong?" Albert asked, noticing that Percy was looking at him a little strangely.
"You helped with the annotation?" Percy froze as he turned the first page, for it read: Dedicate this book to Albert and thank him for his help in the book.
Albert looked confused and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
"This ......" Percy pointed to the contents of the first page, and there was no doubt that Albert was referring to the Albert Anderson in front of him.
"Hmm. Albert nodded in acknowledgement, "I did help revise the content of the Advanced Magical Translation. ”
At this time, the attention of the students in the hall was attracted by the slender package that the six owls were clutching together.
"Broomstick!" Fred pursed his lips and muttered softly.
While everyone around them was still eager to know what was in the package, several people around Albert had already guessed the contents of the package.
Before the owls knocked over the breakfast in front of him, Albert quickly got up to catch the slender package that the owls were grabbing towards him.
"Can I take it apart?" asked Albert excitedly, staring at the slender package.
"Yes. Albert agreed to let Lee Jordan open the package on the spot and take out the broomstick that was placed inside.
"Sweep Six. George leaned over to admire the Sweep Broomstick, which was more expensive and faster than their Sweep Five.
"You actually bought a broomstick. Albert's roommates were surprised that Albert would buy a broomstick, as Albert hadn't trained in Quidditch for a long time.
"Fifty Galleons, it's okay. Albert muttered quietly.
When he felt a gaze coming at him, Albert turned his head to look in the direction of the gaze, it was Isobel, the Ravenclaw girl who had just withdrawn his gaze.
Since the last Occlumency teaching, Albert and Isobel have maintained a friendly relationship, a bit like what they said in their previous life, gentlemen's friendship is as light as water.
Well, it's really as plain as water.
When they met in the club, they would occasionally chat a few words, and the biggest communication between the two was to write letters to each other, and the content of the letters was all ancient magic scripts.
Lee Jordan was introducing the superiority of the sweeping six stars to the others next to him, when he suddenly turned his head and asked, "Are you going to try the superiority of the new broom later?"
"If you try it first, go out and play on your own!" Albert didn't mind riding a new broomstick now, especially when it rained.
"Then I'll try this broom for you first!" said Li Qiaodan.
"By the way, do you know where to get a live mouse?" asked Albert as he pulled out his notes and flipped through them. Mandrake's cry storage plan had been successful, and it was still a juvenile song, however, Albert couldn't be sure if the sound would kill a mouse.
In fact, Albert initially hoped that Sheila would be able to catch a live mouse for him, but what happened?
Sheila brings him a bunch of dead rats and makes him have to come out to stop the farce.
Originally, Albert also hoped to catch a few mice at Hogwarts for experiments, but unfortunately, he still couldn't find the mice after looking for a long time.
"In the warehouse?" said Lee Jordan uncertainly.
"Don't bother so much, Percy kept a mouse as a pet. Fred looked at his brother with ill will.
"What do you want the rats for?" Percy couldn't help but ask.
"Uh. Albert thought for a moment and said, "I'm trying a magic experiment, well, it's actually similar to the Stuna Charm, and I'd like to use a mouse to try it first." ”
It's just that the mouse can't be found for a while.
"So you're getting my spotted attention?" Percy said with a slight frown.
"Well, don't say that, Albert will definitely give the money. George reminded, "One Sico, two Sico?"
"Three sico, no more. Fred slapped his thigh hard and said suddenly, his action startling the others.
"Anyway, your Spotted isn't a pet rat, so it's not a pity to die. The twins advanced this made Percy frown slightly.
"You can't try it with people!"
Although it is said that Mandrake's singing in his childhood cannot kill people, Albert still does not want to face its power himself, and it is undoubtedly the best course of action to find a mouse to try.
After all, the vast majority of experimental mice still make a huge contribution to humanity.
Even if you can't find a guinea pig, a house mouse can.
Well, Ron's rat seems to be his brother Percy's original pet. He remembered that the mouse seemed to be a wizard named Peter or something.
