Albert had never seen a Gryffindor student so united, and perhaps everyone had been suppressed by Slytherin for too long!

Now, everyone is trying to earn points for the college, and even if they can't earn points, they try not to make themselves a reason to be deducted.

Most Gryffindor students stop to take a few more glances as they pass through the huge hourglass that records the House Cup score, and even the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students would love to see Slytherin lose the House Cup.

The atmosphere in the castle has changed, and it is the feeling of stormy weather.

Slytherin houses have a tradition of winning at all costs, which is why Slytherin has been able to dominate the Quidditch and House Cups for so long.

They won't give up easily.

The most immediate change was that Snape's class became more serious and depressing, the Potions professor would always walk back and forth during the class, using that stern gaze to force students with poor mental capacity to make mistakes, and everyone knew that Snape was looking for reasons to deduct points.

The way to deal with the Potions professor is to admit his mistakes seriously, not to talk back, and if he doesn't say much, he won't be able to deduct more points from you.

Since the last time Gryffindor won the Quidditch trophy, the smell of gunpowder with Slytherin House has grown. Albert would not be surprised that the two sides would suddenly fight one day.

However, for the sake of the Academy Cup, everyone still endured not to clash with each other and not let Snape find any chance to deduct points.

Because once there is a fight, the slight advantage of Gryffindor House will be deducted.

"They've done that to Ravenclaw College. In the Gryffindor common room, the student council president told everyone, "If you really have any grievances, you can keep them until we get the House Cup." ”

The conflict between the two sides was suppressed to a minimum, and everyone was gearing up in private, but they were still holding back for the academy cup, as long as they were not fools, they could smell the gunpowder between the two sides.

However, as the final exams approached, everyone's attention was distracted, and the original smell of gunpowder faded.

As time passed, many people had to bury their heads in studying in the sweltering weather, and even rushed to the library when there were no classes, so as not to go late and not find a place.

However, since the end of May, Albert has rarely been to the library, and he hates to crowd the library with everyone in the sweltering heat.

On a sweltering day, Albert misses sorbets, cold drinks and air conditioning.

"Don't you have to revise?" Hagrid greeted him.

"I've got exam secrets here. Albert shook his notebook, which contained the main points that the professors had said in class. He'd look at it and recall it, thanks to his extraordinary memory.

Anyway, Albert didn't worry about the exam at all.

"Exam secrets?"

"Hagrid, do you know any magic that can make ice, or cool it?" Albert tucked the notebook back into his pocket and asked Hagrid about the cooling magic.

"I don't know, what are you going to do?" Hagrid shook his head, after the last incident, the relationship between the two sides had returned to normal, and both sides tacitly agreed not to mention those things again.

"Of course it's to get yourself some cold drinks, this ghost weather is too hot. Albert said rightly.

"Cold drinks, let's go, where do I go, please have a cold butterbeer, it's a celebration of Gryffindor's victory in the House Cup." Hagrid slapped his head on the head and invited Albert to his place for a butterbeer.

Hagrid's so-called cold butterbeer was not far from Albert's guess.

Hagrid tossed an oak barrel of butterbeer into the well, and when he picked it up and drank it, it felt pretty good, not very cold, but it was undoubtedly a pleasure on a hot summer day.

When he saw the garlic in his garden, Hagrid suddenly asked, "I think you guys seem to be growing garlic." ”

"It's growing well, it's almost ready for harvest. ”

Albert thought it was a little funny when he thought about it, and he said what he was going to do with the garlic cross, but what happened?

After a long time, the group of people in the dormitory forgot about it.

Albert is not surprised, as children's patience is always limited, and it is good for them to remember to water garlic.

"By the way, Hagrid, can you get me some alcohol?"

"What do you want alcohol for?" Hagrid asked, puzzled.

"Purifying allicin. ”

"What's that?" Hagrid listened, confused.

"It's nothing, it's just for extracting garlic...... Allicin, you know, we're going to make a garlic-flavored amulet, so ......" Albert briefly described to Hagrid why he planted garlic in the first place, "Well, that's the case, and we need some beeswax." ”

"You know, vampires hate garlic, and a lot of dark magic creatures hate the smell of garlic, so we're going to use the Protector Tree and garlic to make a garlic-flavored amulet to see if it can have a noticeable banishing effect on dark creatures. ”

Hagrid was dumbfounded when he heard this, the garlic-flavored amulet, it's a shame that you came up with it.

"This ...... If you're in the mood for alcohol, I can ask for you, and if Diagon Alley doesn't have one, try your luck at Tumbledown Alley. ”

"Tumbledown Alley?" Albert asked tentatively.

"Tumbling Alley is adjacent to Diagon Alley, it's a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, and there are a lot of dark magic shops there......" Hagrid suddenly realized something, looked at Albert with a serious face, and reminded, "Don't go to Tumbledown Alley!"

"Alright, Hagrid, I knew about Tumbledown Alley long before I came to Hogwarts. Albert said: "The problem of alcohol is in trouble for you. ”

With that, Albert was about to give Hagrid a couple of Galleons, but the latter didn't take them.

Albert was not reluctant to see Hagrid, Hagrid should not be short of money, although the house looks a little dilapidated, but there are indeed many valuable things in the Forbidden Forest.

It can only be said that Hagrid is used to his current life.

......

After leaving Hagrid, Albert did not intend to return to the castle, but slowly descended the slope to the lake, where he sat under a tree and blew the wind.

Not far away, a large squid lies in the warm shallow water basking in the sun.

"This is the summer of people. Albert felt the cool breeze blowing on the surface of the lake and couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that there is a comfortable hammock missing." ”

I don't know how long later, footsteps were heard not far away, and a figure was reflected on his face.

Albert opened his sleepy eyes and blinked, looking at the girl who was leaning forward and staring at him.

"Something?" he asked.

"You're pretty laid-back. Katrina looked at Albert, who was sleeping in the shade of a tree, and said sarcastically, "Isn't it true that he is a genius?"

"It's okay!" Albert replied casually: "Anyway, everything that should be reviewed has already been reviewed, so it's useless to care about the exam questions, it's better to relax your mind and adjust your mentality to deal with the next exam." ”

"Everyone is trying to revise, you actually have the face to say cool things here?" Katrina stared at Albert's face, and suddenly said very seriously, "I think if you were heard by those people in the library, they would probably want to beat you up." ”

"I've practiced karate, and they can't beat me. ”

"I heard you have exam secrets?" asked Katrina, sitting down next to her, feeling the cool breeze blowing from the lake.

"Exam secrets?" Albert couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, probably because the other party had heard the words he had just said to Hagrid.

"What are you laughing at?" said Katrina, frowning disapprehensively.

"Do you want to read it too?" Albert pulled a notebook from his pocket and shook it in front of Katrina.

"Can't you?" Katrina was indeed a little curious, she snatched the notes and looked through the contents, but she couldn't help frowning, the notes were all recorded in class, the professors mentioned the required exams, but there were only questions.

"How?" Albert asked rhetorically.

"Is this the thing?" Katrina suddenly felt like she was being teased.

"Otherwise, what do you think, as long as you understand the required questions obtained by the professors, you will definitely be able to get a high score. Albert said rightly.

"I thought you wanted a perfect score. "Katrina has lost interest in the so-called exam secrets.

"What do you do with a perfect score, I've never deliberately pursued that thing, it's enough to get a show. "Albert doesn't really care about perfect scores, anyway, the school is based on excellent, good ...... This model is used to divide the grades, and the full score in the test is not an excellent, since they are all excellent, why should they be so entangled.

Katrina suddenly felt a little angry, the guy in front of her didn't think of herself as a competitor at all.

"What's wrong with you?" Albert felt that the aura of the girl in front of him was a little wrong.

"Do you want to compete with me for a better final grade? Katrina suggested.

"Don't. Albert simply refused.

Although he has a task of comprehensive crushing, he still doesn't want to entangle with the other party in this regard.

"Why?" asked Katrina, "Are you afraid?"

"There is no why. Albert completely ignored the other party's agitation, "I just feel more tired than this kind of thing." ”

"Tired?" said Katrina, who felt completely unable to comprehend Albert's thinking, and that he would refuse himself for such reasons.

"If you want to gamble...... Albert thought for a moment, and after secretly changing the concept, he was ready to dig a hole for the other party, "Or, let's bet in a different way!"

"What kind of bet?" asked Katrina immediately.

"You need to answer riddles when you enter the Ravenclaw common room, right? Albert smiled and said, "If you can answer a hundred riddles, even if you win, I admit that you are better than me......"

"A hundred riddles right?" Katrina's voice rose as she looked Albert up and down, as if wondering if the other was deliberately entertaining.

"Why didn't you get a hundred riddles right?"

"Of course. Albert seduced, "If you win, I'll give you a gift of about 10 Galleons as a prize." ”

"Do you have any money?" asked Katrina, looking at Albert suspiciously.

"Yes, last time I bet on who would be the Minister of Magic, I won a hundred Galleons. Albert almost patted his chest and assured. Actually, Albert didn't mind spending some money on the Eagle Ring Riddle, and the problem that could be solved with Galleon was not a problem at all.

Katrina was silent for a moment, she found that the guy in front of her seemed to be surprisingly rich, and one mouth was 10 Galleons?

"How, bet?" Albert asked with a smile.

"Your smile is hypocritical. Katrina asked, "What if I lose?"

"If you fail, you can keep trying. Albert continued, "I don't want you to do anything anyway, of course, on the premise that you don't come to compare anything else with me in the meantime." ”

"Are you really going to give prizes?" asked Katrina again.

"You can find a notary, the ghost of your academy, or I can go find Nick, who is almost dead. Albert added, "Of course, when you challenge the Eagle Ring, you need to be on the spot, and you need to answer a hundred riddles correctly to win." ”

"It can't be a big dung bomb, right?" said Katrina, looking at Albert suspiciously.

"Then I'll give you 10 Galleons and admit that you're better than me. ”

"I'm certainly better than you, I don't think you can answer 100 riddles. Katrina suddenly said, "If you can answer 10 riddles, even if you win, I'll give you a gift, of course, I'm not as rich as you." But you can only try once, and it has to be before me. ”

"Okay, I agree. Albert just responded to this, but the next sentence became, "I gave up, and I guess I couldn't answer any of them." ”

"No, I can't. Katrina said seriously, "You have to try, I don't believe you can't answer any of them." ”

"Okay, okay. Albert said perfunctorily.

"We're going to Ms. Gray now. Katrina took Albert to the west side of Hogwarts Castle and found the Lady Gray at the end of a corridor.

Katrina briefed the lady about the situation and asked her to be the notary of the bet.

Ms. Gray agreed, which in her opinion was undoubtedly an interesting thing.

Even Ravenclaw students rarely get 100 riddles right in a row. For non-Ravenclaw students, it is even more difficult to get 10 riddles right in a row.

"Are you going to start now?" asked Ms. Gray.

"No, I think Miss McDoug should be given more time to prepare, either until the exams are over, or the next semester. Albert wasn't in a hurry, he needed Katrina to provide him with questions and answers, and he had to be well prepared. Otherwise, Miss McDoug doesn't have a few questions, and it doesn't make sense.

As for the winner or loser?

Albert didn't care at all.

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to praise his wit.

Yes, that's a good idea.

It's simple, easy, and convenient to get the Eagle Ring problem done.

Katrina was reluctant to let Albert think about it at all, and walked away happily, ready to defeat Albert in this blockade and win 10 Galleons.

Until then, though, there is still a lot of practice, and Katrina will not allow failure.
