Lee Jordan didn't know much about Professor Gilderoy Lockhart. He learned that Gilderoy Lockhart was going to serve as Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts from the book signing at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.
professor.
"Tell me, is Lockhart really as great as the book says?"
Lee Jordan opened the box and shared Bibi's multi-flavor beans with Albert, "To be honest, I doubt Lockhart is a qualified Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."
"I have never met Gilderoy Lockhart in person, and I don't know him well, so I can't make any arbitrary comments."
"You should go shopping in Diagon Alley with us." Lee Jordan regretted this. "That day, Mr. Weasley and Malfoy had a fight in the bookstore."
"What's the reason for the fight?"
"I don't know." Lee Jordan shook his head and said, "The relationship between them has always been very bad. It is probably due to some reasons. I heard from my dad that Mr. Weasley had raided several ancient wizarding families.
.”
"Oh." Albert responded casually.
Having said that, this matter has something to do with him. Mr. Weasley's rights were delegated to him by Bud and his group.
"Actually, whether Lockhart is a qualified Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, we will know after we take his class." Albert smiled and changed the subject, "However, his books are indeed very good.
, if you like reading books, it’s not a loss to buy a few of them.”
While the two were talking, time passed little by little. The people outside the carriage changed one after another. I really don't know where so many curious babies came from.
Lee Jordan was quite happy to be Albert's shield. This guy even treated the people outside with Bibi's multi-flavor beans, and laughed and boasted that he could sell Albert's photos if they wanted to, and he didn't forget to give
Wizard card club advertising.
Sure enough, it successfully aroused the curiosity and attention of many girls.
However, what puzzled the two of them was that Fred and George never showed up.
"They are almost late." Albert glanced at his pocket watch, "It's already 10:50."
"What should I do if I don't get on the train on time?" Lee Jordan kept staring at the platform outside the window, looking for the Weasley family.
"It shouldn't be a big problem if you don't board. You probably have to go directly to Hogsmeade. It's just more troublesome to go to Hogwarts." Albert thought for a moment and said. "Don't you think that if you don't board?
You don’t have to go to school when you get on the train!”
Judging from the expression on Lee Jordan's face, that's probably what he was thinking.
"Don't be stupid. Taking the train to go to school is just a regulation of the Ministry of Magic. If you encounter special circumstances, there will naturally be other ways to deal with it." Albert looked like he was really defeated by you.
"They're coming."
Li Jordan raised his hand and pointed at a few hurried figures outside the window, and said to Albert: "It's really annoying. I don't understand why they like to follow the designated time to the station."
"Don't worry, it's still too late. Here's this for you. I don't really like the taste."
Albert secretly thrust a red Bibi's all-flavored bean into Lee Jordan's hand.
"Thanks."
Lee Jordan muttered, and after he ate it, a pungent smell of chili pepper spread in his mouth, almost making him spit it out.
"It's red pepper flavor, you really don't have good intentions." Lee Jordan threw the Bibi's multi-flavored beans out of the car window.
"Don't be angry, I'll treat you to a drink."
Albert took out a bottle of Coca-Cola from his suitcase and handed it to Lee Jordan, and asked with a smile, "Have you ever drank Muggle drinks?"
"Coca-Cola?" Lee Jordan glanced at Albert suspiciously, opened the bottle, took a sip, blinked, and commented, "The taste is a bit weird. I really don't know why Muggles like this kind of thing."
"You're just not used to drinking it. If you drink it a few more times, you'll like it." Albert explained with a smile: "Coke can be popular all over the world and make more than one billion people like it. Coke naturally has its charm."
While they were talking, someone knocked on the carriage door again, and Fred and George walked in, followed by their sister Ginny.
"We have to take Ginny to find Ron first." Fred stuffed their luggage into the car and said to Albert and Lee Jordan.
At this time, the train suddenly shook and began to move forward.
"You almost missed the train." Li Jordan took another sip of Coke. It was undeniable that he felt pretty good after getting used to drinking it.
"See you later." After saying that, George closed the door of the compartment.
When Fred and George came back, their brows frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"We didn't find Harry or Ron," Fred said.
"What about your sister?" Albert asked.
"With Hermione Granger," said George.
"This year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is Lockhart." Lee Jordan said suddenly, "Many people seem to admire him. I don't know what kind of person he is."
Fred and George had just sat down to chat about Lockhart when they saw Hermione and Percy appearing outside the carriage.
"What's wrong?" They all noticed that Percy's expression was particularly gloomy.
"Harry and Ron are missing!" Hermione said, "I thought they were in another carriage just now, but after looking around, I couldn't find them."
"Maybe I didn't have time to get on the train!" Albert said calmly.
"Wow!"
Fred and George both looked at Albert.
"What's wrong?" Percy was startled by their fuss.
"I think Albert was probably right," Fred said.
"Didn't get on the train?" Percy frowned.
"Don't worry." Albert comforted casually: "If Mr. Weasley turns around and finds that the two of them have not caught up with the train, he will send them directly to Hogsmeade and then go to school from there, which is far better than what we can do.
The train is much faster."
"How could they miss the train?" Hermione simply couldn't understand.
"Maybe, something unexpected happened." Albert said without thinking.
After the two left, Albert suddenly thought of something, looked at the three of them and asked, "What would you do if you found that you couldn't catch the train?"
"How to do it?"
The three of them were stunned for a moment and thought about it for a moment.
"You don't need to do anything." Li Jordan was the first to speak. "After all, parents send their children to school just to prevent this kind of situation from happening."
"What if you find that your family is no longer around?" Albert continued, "Or, what if your family is just ordinary people?"
"Find someone for help!" Fred said without hesitation.
"Yes, look for the security guard at the platform." George added.
At this time, the three of them looked at Albert.
"Look for the station guard. If there is no other way, ask the owl to send a letter to Professor McGonagall. The school will definitely send someone to pick him up." Albert noticed the gazes of the three people and asked, "What do you think they will do."
"Ron is an idiot!"
Fred and George said in unison: "However, it is probably the situation that Lee Jordan said."
Albert thought about it carefully and felt that the thoughts in their heads were very strange. It was suspected that they were deliberately seeking excitement and attracting attention, so they drove to school. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with them.
After all, who in their right mind would do that?
It turns out that it's not that other people have a problem with their thinking and cannot understand why Harry Potter and Ron Weasley want to drive to school, but that there is a problem with their thinking, or that they are ready to commit suicide?
If Albert was just an ordinary wizard, he would probably have the same idea as everyone else!
"What if Harry and Ron missed the train on purpose?" Lee Jordan proposed a hypothesis.
"You mean..." Fred and George immediately came back to their senses, looked at each other, and said in unison, "Don't they want to go to school in a Ford car?"
