After entering November, the temperature around Hogwarts dropped sharply, the weather became very cold, and light snow could fall outside at any time.
Tom was lying on the cushion by the window as usual, looking out the window and thinking about the cat's life.
Suddenly there was a crackling sound in the dormitory, and when Tom turned his head, he found that his shit shovel had appeared out of thin air.
"Meow!"
Tom got off the cushion, ran to Albert's feet and rubbed them gently a few times, and called out softly, as if to say: Mr. Shit, I'm hungry.
"They forgot to prepare lunch for you?"
Albert looked at the coquettish fat cat suspiciously. After hesitating for a moment, he still got some food for it. Anyway, it would be dinner later.
"By the way, I almost forgot about that." Albert muttered, put on his cloak and walked outside.
It was very cold outside the castle, and it was not raining at all. Otherwise, Albert would never be willing to leave the castle. He tightened his tight clothes and walked towards Hagrid's hunting lodge.
Hearing the knock on the door, Hagrid opened the door, smiled and greeted Albert who was standing outside the door: "Our warrior is finally willing to take the time to visit me."
"I've been very busy lately. I've had a lot of troubles after becoming famous, and I think Potter will come over to see you. He's not having a good time lately." Albert bent down, stretched out his hand and rubbed Fang Ya's dog's head, and motioned Hagrid to look outside.
A few girls were looking furtively this way, not knowing what they wanted to do.
"You are still so popular with the girls." Hagrid smiled and took a step back to make room for Albert, gesturing for him to come into the room to talk.
"If I didn't have a girlfriend, I would definitely be very happy. Unfortunately, I already have a girlfriend." Albert took out his wand and waved it. All the windows in the hunting cabin were opened, and there was a faint smell of sea inside.
Swept out by a gust of wind, the remaining traces in the corner were cleared away by Albert waving his wand.
"The snails started killing each other." Hagrid explained: "By the way, Fred and George took a lot of fresh snail carcasses from me today. They said they wanted to study the physiology of those animals.
structures, thinking something about them could come in handy.”
"The blast-tailed snails themselves are very dangerous creatures. If you keep them all locked up, there will be no place to release the excess energy. It is not surprising that they will kill each other." Albert was not surprised at all.
"Maybe I should let the students take them for a walk next class." Hagrid thought of a bad idea.
"Believe me Hagrid, if you really do that, there will definitely be very few students willing to take Care of Magical Creatures." Albert had to remind Hagrid of the dangers of doing that. "Everyone hopes to learn more about this through this course.
Meet some magical creatures. If this course only brings bad memories, they will abandon it decisively, at least no one will really like your course."
"What do you think I should do?" Hagrid asked confused.
For example, teach them to understand, raise magical creatures, and how to respond correctly when encountering certain dangerous magical creatures. Maybe you should take the time to visit Professor Kettlebo and ask him how to teach students instead of focusing on
That new friend with bad intentions.
"Olim has no bad intentions." Hagrid argued, "We just got along quite well."
"They say falling in love makes people stupid." Albert poured himself a cup of tea and couldn't help but shook his head and said, "However, there are some things I have to remind you."
"What?" Hagrid asked doubtfully.
"The reason why you two are so close to each other, even if you and her know it, you can't explain it. Believe me, it will be very beneficial to you and her." Albert reminded seriously: "Giants are taboo to most wizards after all.
"
"Oh, I see." Hagrid responded absently: "By the way, Harry is being trained by Sirius and Remus in the Forbidden Forest. Do you want to go training with them? I remember you seem to be with them.
The relationship is pretty good.”
"No need." Albert simply refused, "It's just the Triwizard Tournament. This game is actually not important anymore."
"What do you mean?" Hagrid always felt that Albert's words were strange. What does it mean that this game is no longer important?
So what is important?
"Ever since Harry was forced to get involved in the Triwizard Tournament, it means that this game has become very abnormal." Albert explained to Hagrid.
"You really believe that Harry didn't put his name into the Goblet of Fire." Hagrid said happily.
"Of course I believe that the other party probably wants to murder Harry. However, the other contestants will also be unlucky." Albert stretched out his hand to move Yaya's head away from his lap. He didn't want to be caught by Yaya's saliva.
Stained robe.
"Do you know who did it?" Hagrid asked in a low voice, thinking that Albert might know some secret information.
"The mysterious man's minions." Albert said lightly.
"You mean...the mysterious man wants to murder Harry." Hagrid couldn't help but take a breath.
"Well, I suspect it was Peter Pettigrew who did something good."
"But... didn't Peter Pettigrew die in Azkaban Prison?" Hagrid asked in confusion.
"I gave Black a divination a while ago. Peter Pettigrew is not dead. He escaped and may have returned to his master." Albert continued to blame Peter: "Someone attacked Catri and I a while ago.
Na, I divined this later, and although I didn’t give a clear hint, the finger pointed at Peter Pettigrew, and I think he was the one who threw Harry’s name into the Goblet of Fire.”
"But, how did he sneak into the school?" Hagrid was even more confused. Hogwarts was so tightly guarded that it was impossible for a murderous fugitive to break in without knowing it.
"There are a lot of secret passages in the castle, and Peter Pettigrew is an Animagus and can turn into a mouse at any time. No one will pay attention to a mouse at all," Albert explained.
"I thought Hogwarts was very well-defended, but I didn't expect that there would be such a flaw." Hagrid's face was ugly. No matter who knew about this, his face would not look good. "No, I have to remove this."
Tell Dumbledore."
"Professor Dumbledore knew last semester that Black sneaked into Hogwarts from the Forbidden Forest through this loophole." Albert comforted, "But don't worry, Peter Pettigrew will dare to do it next time."
After showing up at Hogwarts, I will send him to Azkaban again. I believe that the dementors will help us entertain him well and will not give Peter a chance to escape from Azkaban prison again."
Albert tried to divert everyone's attention so that Barty could survive until the moment when he could finally complete the harvest. He didn't want the tasks and experience packages he had worked so hard to cultivate to be lost.
"How do you plan to catch Peter Pettigrew?" Hagrid looked at Albert in confusion.
"The secret cannot be revealed for the time being." Albert stood up and said to Hagrid, "Okay, I have to go back to the castle. Remember my words, don't mention your bloodline to anyone. Remember, it's anyone,
Otherwise, it will definitely cause you a lot of trouble."
Albert came here to give Hagrid a heads up, to remind Hagrid not to mention to anyone that he has giant blood.
There is no way, the topic of hybrid giants is too deadly.
"Oh, okay, I understand." Hagrid nodded.
As for whether he listened, Albert actually didn't know. He just did what a friend should do, nothing more.
After leaving Hagrid's hut, Albert glanced in the direction of the Forbidden Forest. When he was about to turn around and return to the castle, the corner of his eye inadvertently fell on the tall figure.
"Long time no see, Mrs. Maxim." Albert greeted the other party in French, "Are you looking for Hagrid? He is inside."
"Well, I came to Hagrid to discuss the placement of the magical rune horse."
Madame Maxime's expression was unnatural. After all, Albert was a strong competitor of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but for some reason, she still stated her purpose.
"Brother, long time no see."
A small head poked out from the carriage and waved vigorously towards Albert.
"Long time no see, Gabrielle." Albert saw a little silver-haired girl getting off the carriage, carrying a wooden box in her hand.
"Dad asked me to bring this to you." Gabrielle carried a wooden box and trotted towards Albert.
"Be careful Gabrielle, don't fall." Fleur looked at her sister who almost fell and reminded her quickly.
"Is this for me?"
Albert took the box handed over by Gabrielle and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes, he said it was for you, and there was a letter. He also asked me to say hello to you." Gabrielle took out a letter from her robe pocket and handed it to Albert. There was Mr. Delacour on the envelope.
signature, as well as the other party’s frequently used initials in the corners.
"Thank you, Gabri, this is for you." Albert took out a few candies from his pocket and placed them on Gabri's palm.
"candy?"
"This is a candy that can bring a good mood to people." Albert said mysteriously. He noticed the puzzled look cast by Mrs. Maxim next to him, and explained: "Mr. Delacour and I are good friends.
Friends, we have kept in touch through letters over the past few years.”
The expression on Madame Maxime's face was a little strange. It was probably difficult to understand that Albert knew Mr. Delacour and not Fleur.
After seeing Hagrid come out, Madam Maxime immediately walked up to him and told him about the rune horse.
Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is located in the mountains of southern France. The winter is not too cold, but the winter at Hogwarts is very cold. The weather has been getting colder and colder recently, and it occasionally rains. Madame Maxime
I hope Hagrid can help build a comfortable stable for the rune horses to prevent these tall horses from getting cold and sick.
After a brief discussion, the two quickly went to find a suitable place to build a stable.
"Are you familiar with Yanila?" Fleur came over and asked.
"I'm not familiar with her. I met her in Spain. At that time, I went to participate in the Barnabus Finkley Award for Excellent Spellcasting Techniques, and I stayed in the tavern owned by her family." Albert put the wooden box into his own room.
Hen stretched out his pocket and introduced the situation to Furong with a smile: "Later, she awarded me the championship prize. I also listened to her songs, which are not bad."
"I think Yanila must have seduced you, right? The whole family likes to seduce the winner of the Barnabus Finkley Award for Excellence in Spellcasting." Fleur muttered, but there was no doubt that this was intentional.
Tell it to Albert.
"I have a girlfriend." Albert said with a smile.
"They don't care about this." Fleur sneered.
"It is not a good habit to speak ill of people behind their back." Yanila's voice came from not far away, and the girl had taken off her scarf to reveal her original appearance.
"I'm just telling the truth." Furong didn't have the slightest embarrassment of being caught red-handed saying bad things about others.
"Actually, you don't need to tell him these things quietly, because Albert already knows it." Yanila kindly reminded Fleur that there is no need to continue wasting words, "Maybe you should show your charm, maybe the effect will be better
Better."
"So, you were dumped."
Fleur looked at Yanila coldly, she hated the woman in front of her.
"We just haven't reached an agreement yet," Yanila said lightly.
"So, you are too stubborn to come here?" Furong said sarcastically.
"This is called pursuing love." Yanila corrected.
"Sister, would you like to eat a candy? It can really make you feel better after eating it." Gabrielle pulled Fleur's arm and handed the remaining two candies to her sister.
"You don't mind giving me one, I'll trade this with you." Yanila took out a small box of chocolates with a smile.
"You are really worthless, you actually want to steal the candy from the child." Fleur picked up the candy handed by Gabrielle, put it back into her robe pocket, and pulled her sister back to the carriage.
"Goodbye big brother, thank you for the candy, it's really great." Gabrielle turned around and waved to Albert.
"You don't mind giving me a few, I can trade these with you." Yanila shook the chocolate in her hand and handed it to Albert.
"Forget the chocolate, I'm a little reluctant to take chocolate from others now." Albert took out two more candies and handed them to Yanila.
Yanila peeled off a candy and threw it into her mouth, smiling and teasing, "You're not worried about your girlfriend knowing, are you?"
"No, I'm afraid someone added other weird stuff to it." Albert didn't pick up the chocolate handed to him and let it fall directly to the ground.
"It seems that you have been drugged with love potions." The expression on Yanila's face became increasingly weird.
Seeing that Albert was really not going to take the chocolate, she didn't care, bent down to pick up the box of chocolates and stuffed it into her pocket.
"The candy tastes really good. Where did you get it? There must be a joyful agent in it. No wonder eating it can make people feel happy." Yanila could see at a glance why candy can make people feel happy.
"I have to go back, see you another day."
After Albert said hello to Yanila, he was about to return to the castle, but saw Harry and Hermione coming this way.
