Multiply!

White smoke rises from the hot barbecue grill, and the smell of barbecue fills the air.

A barbecue is taking place outside Hagrid's cabin.

Albert flipped the beef on the grill with a food tong, and the lightly marinated steak appeared slightly browned.

"Onions, lemons, and eggs. Hagrid placed the ingredients on the table, picked up the freshly baked bread on his plate and took a bite, staring at Albert's churning steak and feeling even hungrier.

Before, Hagrid thought he was a good cook, but now he ...... I feel like I'm cooking the food.

Albert picked up his wand, waved the onion lightly, and used the Cutting Charm to slice it, brush it with dipping sauce and set it down to roast together.

The eggs are fried in a pan and served on a plate with the grilled steak, served with sliced onions, an omelette, and a spoonful of canned peanuts.

"It smells good, and it looks like the grilled steak still needs to be marinated. Hagrid couldn't wait to cut a large piece of beef for himself, took a bite and sighed.

"The main pleasure is actually tasting the food you cook, and you will have an inexplicable sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. Actually, Albert has cooking skills, but he never bothered to upgrade. After all, except for a few times at home, he doesn't need to cook his own food.

Albert slice a piece of beef and was about to stuff it into his mouth when he suddenly heard a familiar scream in the distance.

"Wait!"

Albert had put the fork in his mouth, turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, it was Fred and the others, and they were trotting in this direction.

"Y-you guys grilling steak here?" Fred stared at Hagrid and Albert in disbelief as they enjoyed the grilled steak.

Of course, Hogwarts also serves steaks. It's just that when a few people saw Albert actually grilling steak here, their hearts suddenly felt a little unbalanced.

"The taste was ok. Albert squeezed the lemon juice on the steak and ate another piece before looking up and asking, "Don't you have time to come over?"

"We came to deliver a letter to you, but I didn't expect to see you hiding here for a barbecue. George had a distressed look on his face.

"I just dine at Hagrid. Albert took a bite of the roasted onion, put the egg in his mouth with a fork, chewed and swallowed it before asking, "What about my letter?"

"Here it is. George handed the letter to Albert.

"Strange, why didn't the owl just deliver the letter to me?" Albert was a little puzzled, and raised his hand to take the letter from George.

"Professor Smith asked me to give it to you. George explained, staring at the cheese baked potatoes on the grill.

"If you want to eat it, take it yourself, don't get burned. Hagrid felt a little amused, and beckoned the three of them to sit down and eat, "Albert made it, I didn't even know he was so good at cooking." ”

"Professor Smith?" Albert nodded in understanding, and after looking at the sender, he could probably guess what was inside.

"Why don't you take it apart and take a look?" said Fred, his mouth stuffed with cheese and baked potatoes.

"Oh. Albert thought about it and opened the envelope, it was a letter from Sierra Harrichs, expressing his willingness to communicate with Albert through letters, and by the way, he also introduced him to two books related to alchemy.

"What's written in there?" asked Lee Jordan curiously.

"Someone is willing to establish a friendly correspondence with me. Albert slipped the letter back into his pocket and explained with a smile.

"Is it delicious?" George was more concerned about the taste of the grilled steak.

"It's ok. Albert answered, and continued to wipe out the food on his plate.

After Fred swallowed the baked potato, he couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect you to really know how to cook." ”

"Why not?" said Albert, "do it yourself, and have plenty of food and clothing." ”

After all, Herb and Daisy are lawyers, and there are occasional times when they are too busy to take care of them.

"The steak was great. Hagrid exclaimed. He had already eaten his portion, too small to satisfy Hagrid's appetite, and there were slices of toast on the table, along with bacon and cheese, and a small pot of oatmeal.

"I knew we were supposed to be looking for you after lunch. Fred couldn't help but grumble as he watched Albert shove the last piece of beef into his mouth.

"It's like, it's time to go back, it's almost time for lunch. After greeting Hagrid, George beckoned Fred and Lee Jordan to get up and leave.

"Goodbye, Hagrid. Albert said hello to Hagrid and left with the three of them.

Halfway back to the castle, George suddenly asked, "By the way, we just saw you and Hagrid coming out of the Forbidden Forest together." ”

"What are you doing in the Forbidden Forest? Lee Jordan asked.

"This ...... I promised Hagrid that I wouldn't tell anyone else, so if you want to know, ask Hagrid yourself. Albert knew that the three of them would not have asked, otherwise they would have asked just now, and would not have waited until now to ask him.

"You're hiding it from us. Fred muttered dissatisfied.

"No way, who told me to promise Hagrid first. Albert shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Okay. The three of them couldn't help it, knowing that Albert didn't want to say, so they didn't ask more.

"By the way, isn't there a party at the Wizard Card Club in the afternoon?" said Lee Jordan, who is now a big fan of the Wizard Card.

"Well, there's not a lot of people in the auditorium anyway. Albert said, "I've already made the original card." ”

As he spoke, Albert pulled out a few cards and handed them to the three of them, which were the cards of each of the four of them.

Fred and George are both wearing Quidditch uniforms and holding broomsticks, while Lee Jordan is wearing wizarding robes and a wizarding hat and holding a wand, and Albert himself is wearing a wizarding suit with a book and a wand.

"When were these pictures taken?" asked George, holding his card, taking a closer look.

"What do you say?" said Albert, laughing.

"Will all the cards be like this in the future? Finally, it feels a little formal!" Fred took the card and looked at it, very satisfied with his card.

"What about the other cards?" asked Lee Jordan.

"I haven't made the other cards yet, do you think I really have that much time to spend on them?" Albert shrugged, "Besides, I don't have any pictures of anyone else." ”

As for what portrait rights?

There's no such thing in the wizarding world.

"I'll take this card!" George was about to put his card in his pocket, but Albert stopped him.

"That's not good, the original cards will stay with me, and these will be used as the original cards in the future, and I will use a change spell on it, and once the original card is modified, the other cards will also change. Albert explained.

"Can this be?" Fred was surprised.

"Well, this spell is used in the Daily Prophet, haven't you noticed?" Albert asked rhetorically.

Several people shook their heads in unison.

They knew that the Daily Prophet sometimes changed, but they had no idea why.

"That'...... How long will it take?"

"Who knows, at least until I learn the Spell of Change. Albert thought about it carefully and said, "It is said that it is the level of ., I estimate that it will take two or three years." ”

"Two or three years?" said Jordan weakly, "In two or three years, you will be able to reach the level?"

"It may be a bit arrogant to say that, but it wasn't too difficult for me to graduate from Hogwarts with good grades. Albert said disapprovingly.

"You didn't go to Ravenclaw, it's a big loss for them. George sighed again, "After all, you have such a brain, don't you?" ”

"If you can get more riddles right than Katrina, that's even better. ”

"You're thinking too much. Albert glanced at Lee Jordan and said rather speechlessly, "That's impossible, do you think you can win with a person who guesses riddles every day?"

"Then why are you betting riddles with her?" Fred was even more puzzled.

"I wonder how many riddles there are at the entrance to Ravenclaw, and what the answers to those riddles are. Albert said without hesitation: "In the future, I may be able to sneak into the Ravenclaw common room." ”

"I think you're going to be kicked out. Fred said.

"I think so too. George and Lee Jordan chimed in.

As the four of them spoke, they had already arrived at the castle, and were just about to pass through the foyer when they heard hurried footsteps behind them.

Filch walked briskly towards them.

"Dirty! Dirty stuff everywhere, I've had enough!" Filch pointed to the mud footprints on the ground and shouted angrily. His eyes bulged, the flesh on his face trembled, and he looked strangely scary, "I've had enough...... Punish someone as a warning to others...... You four, come with me!"

"Ahem, calm down, Mr. Filch. Albert took out his wand and waved his mud footprints and boots, and the mud footprints on the ground disappeared, and the mud on his boots disappeared with them.

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan looked at each other and cast descaling charms on their boots.

Unfortunately, they found themselves unable to completely clean up the stains on them.

"How did you do it. George couldn't help but ask.

"Vanishing Spell. Albert waved his wand to clean them up, and then said to Filch, who was stunned, "Shall we go?"

Without waiting for Filch to reply, the four of them walked through the foyer into the auditorium, leaving Filch and the others ready to watch the play with a stunned expression. By the time he came to his senses, Albert and the others had already walked away.

Filch was trembling all over, and there were a few students watching the play next to him, but unfortunately, they didn't know that there was a word for the pond fish, so the two hapless Hufflepuff students were used by Filch as an example to kill the monkeys.

They would have liked to do what Albert did, but unfortunately, neither of them could use the Vanishing Charm.
