Chapter 590: Dueling Club
"Alas!"
"Not coming with us to Hogsmeade again?"
"Sure enough, since I had a girlfriend, she completely abandoned us. ”
"What a forgetful fellow. ”
Fred, George, and Lee Jordan each said a word, grinning and teasing Albert as he fiddled with his cloak in front of the dressing mirror.
"Shut up!"
Albert looked back at the three who were teasing him, and changed the subject and asked, "When are you going to give me the Christmas present?"
"What a cunning fellow. George muttered, motioning for Fred to give it to Albert.
The latter immediately took out a beautifully packaged gift box from his drawer and threw it to Albert, "George and I have prepared a surprise for you." ”
"You don't mind if I open the package now, do you?"
Albert didn't wait for Fred and George to reply, but he had already opened the gift box, and there were two strange custard cookies inside, which were really shabby.
"How long have you been leaving it out, and can you still eat it?" asked Albert, looking at the wrapper and sniffing the custard biscuits, pretending to be disgusted.
"Don't worry, we've been preserving it with the Freezing Charm, and we're sure we can still eat it. Fred almost patted his chest and promised, "It will definitely bring you unexpected surprises." ”
Albert looked suspiciously at the Weasley twins, and the two guys immediately squinted as if they wanted to see him make a fool of himself eating custard cookies.
"Hmph, don't think I don't know, this thing is a joke you invented. ”
Albert, who was about to put the custard biscuit in his mouth, was suddenly put back in the box by something.
The two turned their heads in a sneer, obviously a little embarrassed to be poked.
"What effect?"
The twins turned their heads and whistled, pretending they hadn't heard.
"Who's going to show me a demonstration?" Albert asked, shaking the custard biscuit in his hand.
"Him!"
Fred and George raised their hands in unison to point at Lee Jordan and said in unison.
"You two bastards. ”
The corners of Lee Jordan's mouth twitched, and he didn't want to pay attention to the Weasley twins anymore, so he took out a small gift box from his cabinet and handed it to Albert.
"A Christmas present for me?"
Albert reached out and took the delicate little gift box, and when he opened it, he found that there were several brand new wizard cards inside, which were supposed to be the latest creations of Lee Jordan.
Albert took a closer look at the contents and felt that everything was not bad.
"I want to make a deck that has to do with the Chamber of Secrets. As soon as Lee Jordan's words fell, he couldn't help but shout, "Bastard, what do you want to do, stop it." ”
As Albert was reading the effects and descriptions on the Wizard card, he heard a commotion next to him, and turned his head to see Lee Jordan being forced into his mouth by Fred and George.
The next moment, Lee Jordan turned into an ugly canary covered in feathers.
"Shapeshifting cookies?"
Albert grabbed Lee Jordan's arm with interest and looked at the feathers on it.
"We prefer to call it a canary cookie. Fred and George said in unison, and before they could speak, Lee Jordan's feathers had completely fallen off and changed back to their original appearance.
"It tastes weird, you need to find a way to cover it up. ”
Albert picked up a piece of canary biscuit, took a bite directly, and savored the taste of this biscuit, which is still a little different from ordinary custard biscuits.
After he swallowed the biscuit, he quickly turned into a big canary, or a feathered weirdo.
Albert tried to pull the feathers off his body, but found that he was actually in pain, as if the feathers were growing on his body.
"What did you add to it?" asked Albert, curiously after the feather had fallen off.
"A potion found in the library. Fred blinked and explained, "A transformation potion." ”
"What do you think," asked George nervously, "will it be popular with everyone?"
"People should love this prank product. Albert drew his wand and flicked it, and all the feathers that fell to the ground disappeared. "However, canary biscuits are still easy to spot and taste different from ordinary custard biscuits. ”
"If I'm free another day, I'll take a look at it for you, I've been busy lately. Albert said as he walked downstairs.
"Busy dating. George muttered.
"If you are envious, hurry up and find a girlfriend, and be careful that the beautiful girls are asked out. Albert teased.
The three of them couldn't help but roll their eyes, this guy really didn't feel a backache when he stood and talked.
"What's going on over there?"
Albert, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan walked through the foyer and saw a large crowd gathered around the bulletin board, reading a piece of parchment that had just been pinned to Filch.
"Let's go, go over and see. Lee Jordan immediately ran over to join in the fun.
The surrounding students were loudly discussing the dueling club that the school was planning to run.
"I always thought it was a little weird. George muttered, "I don't know who will teach us." ”
"Shall we go? It doesn't feel like it's going to work. Fred lowered his voice, "I don't think there are many students in the school who will be our opponents. ”
Fred didn't say much, after Albert's training last time, they were far superior to the other students in duels.
"I've heard that Professor Flitwick was a dueling champion when he was younger, maybe he was the one who taught us. "Lee Jordan came over and shared information with them.
"You're thinking too much. Albert walked through the crowd into the hall and said, "This style is eighty percent a trick made up by Lockhart. ”
"Oops!"
Fred and George couldn't help but scream, they felt that this matter was told by Albert again, and if it was really Lockhart, the so-called dueling club would probably become a farce.
"Then at eight o'clock tonight, shall we still go?"
Several people knew very well what Lockhart was, and they were no longer interested in the so-called dueling club.
"Go, why not. Albert looked strange, "Maybe, you can watch a good show." ”
"I don't know why Professor Dumbledore would allow Lockhart to do such nonsense. Lee Jordan looked at the students in the hall who were discussing the dueling club, and said in a low voice.
In Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Lee Jordan was called by Lockhart to play various monsters several times, which made him have a bad sense of Lockhart.
"I guess I want to ease the tension in the castle. Albert slipped a few slices of bacon into his sandwich, took a big bite, and said indistinctly.
"Don't you think that's funny?" said Fred and George, laughing.
"Interesting?" Lee Jordan looked around the hall, and he noticed that many of the students in the hall had seen the notice and were interested in the so-called dueling club.
"It never hurts to learn something. George said with a smile.
"Then I would like to have the opportunity to be mentored by Professor Lockhart. Lee Jordan suddenly laughed wickedly.
"Come on. Fred rolled his eyes, how could he not guess Lee Jordan's careful thoughts, "I think Lockhart will find Albert eighty percent." ”
"No, he's going to look for Potter, didn't you notice that Lockhart actually liked Potter?" said Albert meaningfully.
"Why, Harry?" the three asked in unison.
"Potter is famous!" Albert said mysteriously, "and Professor Lockhart likes to be noticed, and he probably wants to make a name for himself with Harry." ”
"No!" asked George, confused, "aren't you famous, too?"
"Stupid, Lockhart doesn't dare. Lee Jordan reminded angrily, "Don't forget, Professor Quirrell last year wanted to turn around immediately when he saw Albert. With Lockhart's appearance, he dared to find Albert, and it was estimated that he would be tormented by questions and doubt his life in a few days. ”
George joked solemnly, "It seems that Professor Lockhart is smarter than Professor Quirrell!"
