The busy and fulfilling college life always passes very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, time has rushed to the end of October.
The rainy season continues every year, and the weather becomes colder and colder. It is no different from last year, and the situation is as bad as ever.
"Rainy days always make people feel unmotivated!"
Albert covered a yawn, raised his head and looked at the rainy ceiling above his head, looking for an excuse for being lazy.
"morning."
Fred and George, each on their own, reached out and patted Percy's shoulder hard to greet his brother who was sitting next to him. This slap caused Percy, who was eating, to choke and cough repeatedly.
Albert handed over the drink next to him with a bit of fun, and Percy took a big gulp in his mouth. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he glared fiercely at Fred and George, who used Albert as a shield.
The two of them were opening and closing their lips. If you could read the lip language, it would be: You swallowed it yourself, don't blame us.
At this moment, the arrival of a large number of postmen attracted the attention of the students. These owls, which had traveled long distances in the rain, swooped through the rain-splashed windows and dumped the rain on the heads and bodies of everyone in the auditorium.
.
A gray owl dropped a square package in front of Albert.
"It always feels like you get mail every day." Fred said enviously, pointing to another owl flying towards this direction.
The owl sent a letter.
Albert glanced at the sender, stuffed the envelope into his pocket, and then opened the package in front of him. Inside was a book called "Advanced Magic Text Translation" that still smelled of ink. This book was most likely from Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore.
Just arrived."
""Advanced Magic Text Translation"?" Percy glanced at the title of the book and frowned slightly, because he had also never heard the name of this book as he also took the ancient magic text as an elective.
"This is the latest book written by Professor Babuling. It seems to be a reference book prepared for the advanced ancient magic text course." Albert explained casually.
To be honest, the book was published faster than he expected.
"A book compiled by Professor Barbling?" Percy looked at the advanced magic text translation in confusion and asked Albert to borrow it and read it.
A moment later, a thick letter from home fell in front of Fred and George. They were still nagging: "Mom got us wrong again."
"What's wrong?" Albert noticed that Percy looked at him a little strangely, so he asked doubtfully.
"Did you help edit the annotations?" When Percy opened the first page, he was stunned because it said: Dedicate this book to Albert and thank him for his help with this book.
Albert looked confused and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"
"This..." Percy pointed to the content on the first page. There was no doubt that Albert was referring to the Albert Anderson in front of him.
"Yes." Albert nodded and admitted, "I did help revise the contents of "Advanced Magic Text Translation"."
At this time, the attention of the students in the hall was attracted by the slender package held by six owls.
"Broomstick!" Fred pursed his lips and murmured softly.
While everyone around him was still eager to know what was in the package, several people around Albert had already guessed what was in the package.
Before the owls knocked over the breakfast in front of him, Albert quickly stood up and caught the slender package grabbed by the owls flying towards him.
"Can I open it?" Lee Jordan stared at the slender package and asked Albert excitedly.
"Okay." Albert agreed and let Lee Jordan open the package on the spot and take out the broomstick inside.
"Sweep Six." George also came over to admire this broomstick from the Sweep series. This Sweep Six broom is more expensive than their Sweep Five, and it's also faster.
"You actually bought a broomstick." Albert's roommates were all surprised that Albert would buy a broomstick, because Albert had not participated in Quidditch training for a long time.
"Fifty Galleons, not bad." Albert muttered softly.
When he felt a line of sight coming towards him, Albert turned his head and looked in the direction of the line of sight. It was Isobel, the Ravenclaw girl who had just withdrawn her gaze to look at him.
Since the last Occlumency teaching, Albert and Isobel have maintained a friendly relationship, a bit like what was said in the previous life, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.
Well, it's really just as bland as water.
When they met at the club, they occasionally chatted for a few words. The biggest communication between the two was to write letters to each other, and the contents of the letters were all about ancient magic texts.
When Lee Jordan was introducing the advantages of sweeping six stars to others around him, he suddenly turned his head and asked: "Are you going to try out the advantages of the new broom later?"
"If you try it first, go out and play by yourself!" Albert didn't mind riding the new broom now, especially when it rained.
"Then I will try this broom for you first!" Li Qiaodan said happily.
"By the way, do you know where I can get live mice?" Albert suddenly asked when he took out his notes and flipped through them. The Mandrake's cry storage plan has been successful, and it is still the song of his childhood.
However, Albert was not sure whether the sound could kill a rat.
In fact, Albert originally hoped that Sheila could catch a living mouse for him, but what happened?
Sheila brought him a pile of dead rats, forcing him to come out and stop the farce.
Originally, Albert hoped to catch some mice at Hogwarts for experiments, but unfortunately, he still couldn't find any mice after searching for a long time.
"In the warehouse?" Lee Jordan said uncertainly.
"Don't bother, Percy just kept a mouse as a pet." Fred looked at his brother with evil intentions.
"What do you want a mouse for?" Percy couldn't help but ask.
"Um." Albert thought for a while and said, "I'm trying a magic experiment. Well, the effect is actually similar to the coma spell. I want to use mice to test the effect first."
However, the mouse could not be found for a while.
"So you want to attract my attention?" Percy frowned slightly.
"Well, don't say that, Albert will definitely give you money." George reminded, "One Sickle, two Sickles?"
"Three Sickles, no more." Fred suddenly said, slapping his thigh hard. His move startled the others.
"Anyway, your Scabbers is not a pet rat, so it wouldn't be a pity to die." The twins brought this up, which made Percy frown slightly.
"You can't try it with people!"
Although it was said that the song of Mandrake in its infancy could not kill people, Albert still did not want to face its power by himself. Finding a mouse to try was undoubtedly the best course of action.
After all, the vast majority of laboratory mice still make huge contributions to mankind.
Even if you really can't find a guinea pig, a house mouse will do.
Well, Ron's mouse seemed to be his brother Percy's original pet. He remembered that the mouse seemed to be a wizard, named Peter or something.
