The next day, Albert woke up early in the morning.
The sky outside the window was gray, and it seemed that as September entered, the weather around Hogwarts would start to get very bad.
Without the cute Tom beside the bed, Albert felt empty inside.
The roommates in the dormitory were not awake yet, and Albert did not want to disturb them. After quietly getting dressed, he went downstairs alone. He planned to visit Professor McGonagall first and get the time turner back from him.
Isobel told him last time that she could no longer hold a time turner due to the reduced number of subjects in the advanced classes chosen by the sixth grade.
This is not good news. After losing the time turner, Isobel will not be able to spare enough time to date herself freely.
To make matters worse, Albert wants to get the time turner and only has the last two years left.
Time has become quite tight.
Unless Albert is prepared to not give up other subjects and continue to take twelve advanced classes in sixth grade, but this is undoubtedly a bad decision.
The learning difficulty of the advanced class has indeed increased a lot, and the homework is more arduous. Albert is already busy enough, and he doubts whether he can hold on and not collapse like Hermione.
Some courses will definitely need to be abandoned when entering sixth grade.
While Albert was thinking wildly, he had unknowingly reached the second floor of the castle and walked towards Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Office.
However, while turning the corner, he bumped into someone.
"Sorry, I didn't notice...are you okay?"
When Albert came back to his senses, he found that the person who bumped into him and fell to the ground was actually his old acquaintance Katrina.
He stretched out his hand apologetically, trying to pull the other person up from the ground.
"fine!"
Katrina came back to her senses and noticed who the person she bumped into was stunned for a moment. Instead of grabbing Albert's hand, Katrina struggled to get up.
It is not difficult for both parties to guess why the other party came to this place at this time.
"Are you angry with me?" Albert asked tentatively.
"No." Katrina said coldly.
"That means you are angry."
Albert looked up and down at the red-haired girl in front of him, sighed inwardly, and changed the subject: "You also came to Professor McGonagall to get the time turner, right!"
"Um."
Katrina responded and said nothing more.
The two of them arrived in front of Professor McGonagall's office door in silence, and then Albert reached out and knocked on the office door.
About a minute later, there was a noise inside the door, and the wooden door opened quickly, and Professor McGonagall appeared at the door.
He was a little surprised to see the two people appearing together, but he quickly guessed their purpose of disturbing him early in the morning and let them go into the office.
Professor McGonagall took out two time turners from the box and gave them to Albert and Katrina, not forgetting to warn them.
Albert said he knew, so he stuffed the time turner into his pocket, said goodbye to Professor McGonagall, and walked out of Professor McGonagall's office with Katrina.
"This is a rare opportunity, do you want to go for a walk together?" Albert invited the red-haired girl beside him.
Katrina looked at Albert and seemed to be hesitating, but in the end she did not refuse.
The two of them walked together in the silent corridor.
"Are you angry because of what happened between Isobel and I?" Albert asked straightforwardly. Before announcing his relationship with Isobel, the two had always had a good relationship. However, it turned out that he and Isobel had a good relationship.
After the relationship with Isobel, it became what it is now.
"No." Katrina said stubbornly. She regretted why she followed her. Didn't she make herself happy?
"Isobel once hid the affair between me and her, but then she gave up." Albert stopped and looked at Katrina who was about to leave and said, "She cares about your affairs very much and doesn't want you to be hurt."
"I suggest you have a good chat with her. Also, are we still friends?" Albert asked, looking at Katrina's back.
The other party didn't answer, but walked away quickly.
"Alas! Women, they are such troublesome creatures." Albert muttered in a low voice. The mature Isobel made people worry-free. Both parties knew what they needed and wanted, and they worked hard to maintain the relationship.
, not to mention getting into a temper easily.
Maybe it’s because both parties are masters of thought, so it’s easy to figure out what the other person is thinking!
However, from Katrina, Albert saw one of the reasons why couples at Hogwarts never lasted long.
After Katrina left, Albert took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time, preparing to take advantage of this rare opportunity to walk around.
Anyway, after getting the time converter back, I no longer have to worry about running out of time.
As soon as I walked out of the castle, I met Professor Sprout. He had a lot of bandages in his hand, and seemed to be preparing to bandage the Whomping Willow.
"Good morning, Professor Sprout, are you going to go to the Whomping Willow to treat your injury?" Albert walked over quickly to say hello.
"Good morning, Mr. Anderson." Professor Sprout looked at the sudden appearance of Albert and said as he walked: "Yesterday at the banquet, Severus told me that Mr. Potter hit the Whomping Willow with his car and gave him
The whomping willow caused serious damage."
"As far as I know, the Whomping Willow is very violent. How are you going to subdue it and treat it?" Albert asked his doubts, which is why he came to greet Professor Sprout.
"The Whomping Willow is indeed more dangerous, especially when you encounter it in the wild. However, usually, as long as you don't touch its branches, the Whomping Willow will not attack rashly." Professor Sprout explained casually.
: "Of course, if it is planted by a wizard, it will usually leave an obvious scar, so that it can be subdued through the scar."
Professor Sprout picked up a broken branch, poked the knot on the trunk of the Whomping Willow, and immediately silenced the Whomping Willow.
"Can we use magic to subdue it?" Albert raised his doubts, "Use a freezing spell or some other spell."
"Well, it's best not to do that. The Whomping Willow is a very precious magical plant with great medicinal value." Professor Sprout thought for a while and replied, "It is already hard to see in ordinary places.
When it comes to it, the wizard who planted the whomping willow will leave such scars to tame the whomping willow."
"Okay, Mr. Anderson, please help me hold down the scar, these bandages, and this bucket. We need to hurry up." Professor Sprout pulled out his wand and began to help prune the branches.
He also collected the buds and branches of the Whomping Willow, and also introduced the medicinal effects of these things to Albert, which was considered an extra lesson.
Albert simply summarized and came up with an answer: The Whomping Willow is full of treasures.
