The day before Easter happened to fall on a Saturday, and the students at Hogwarts were lucky enough to have the Easter holiday ahead of schedule.
In order to celebrate the early Easter holiday, many students chose to stay up all night to party last night.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan were three of them.
The three of them were playing wizard cards in the dormitory.
Later, he was sent to the Room of Requirement to mess around, and didn't come back until five o'clock in the morning, which woke Albert up by the way.
Albert, who had just woken up after sleeping, stretched out his hand to cover his yawn, stretched his arms lazily, picked up the pocket watch from the bedside table, and looked at the time: 7:42.
“There’s still plenty of time.”
This morning, Albert had an appointment with Isobel, and they planned to go to Hogsmeade Village together to deal with the house they had renovated recently.
In the next few years, it will be very important and will serve as Albert's stronghold.
Moreover, it has a unique meaning to him and Isobel.
By the way, it’s Easter again.
Ever since I started school at Hogwarts, it seems that something bad happens every Easter. I hope this year it won’t happen...
Albert stopped thinking wildly and moved his gaze towards the cat's nest, forcibly diverting his attention to prevent himself from raising flags randomly.
"Good morning, Tom."
Fat cat Tom has woken up, but he is still lying lazily in the cat's nest, his tail wagging slightly, and he seems to be in a good mood.
Albert opened the window and let the breeze blow into the dormitory.
The weather outside was still a bit bad, the sky was gray, and there was still morning fog when I woke up in the morning. Albert suspected that this bad weather was affected by the dementors.
His eyes moved to Tom who was squatting over there and eating cat food. He started to change clothes, and after tidying up in front of the full-length mirror, he was ready to go downstairs for breakfast.
The common room was eerily quiet, with few students getting up early during the holidays.
Oh, I have a classmate and an acquaintance.
Hermione was sitting in the armchair by the window, working hard on her holiday homework.
What a hard-working girl.
Albert was too embarrassed to disturb the other party. When he was about to walk towards the entrance of the common room, he stopped again and walked towards Hermione.
"Want to go to the auditorium for breakfast together?" Albert asked.
Hermione heard the voice and raised her head in the middle of her busy schedule. When she saw that the person coming was Albert, she was stunned for a moment and seemed to hesitate for a moment.
Albert could see that Hermione actually wanted to spend her limited time on homework, so he smiled and pointed to the entrance of the common room and said to Hermione, "You should have something to eat in the morning so that you have the energy to continue doing homework?
"
"you're right."
Hermione put down her quill, packed up the things on the table, got up, and headed to the auditorium with Albert.
When the two passed by the dwarf security guard, Albert asked Hermione, "How does it feel to take twelve elective courses? Are you still used to it?"
"There's always not enough time. Even if I use that thing, I still feel like there's not enough time." Hermione's voice was filled with unconcealable fatigue, and the shadows under her eyelids became heavier.
"I always felt that way before."
Hermione stopped and looked at Albert deeply, obviously not believing this nonsense.
"What's wrong?" Albert stopped and turned around to ask.
"How did you solve this problem?" Hermione asked slightly perfunctorily.
"I will reduce the frequency of writing letters to other people and increase the use of that thing, almost turning my day into thirty-six hours." Albert said as he walked, "Of course, there are disadvantages to this, and that is you
It is difficult to maintain a high level of concentration in your mental state, so you need to spend more time resting, and occasionally you will encounter difficult problems, so you have to use some special methods."
"Special method."
"Drinking a small amount of intelligence enhancers can make the drinker's thinking clearer." Albert said: "However, if overused, it is easy for people to become dependent on external substances."
"Intellect enhancer?"
Hermione always felt like she had seen this kind of potion somewhere, and it was not difficult to guess the effect of this potion.
"In fourth grade, you will learn how to prepare this relatively cheap and practical potion. Its ingredients are not difficult."
As he spoke, Albert took out a bottle of candies from his pocket and seemed ready to pour a few for Hermione to try, but he found that only half of the candies were left, so he handed the whole bottle to Hermione: "
This is for you, you can take one if you are very tired."
"What is this?" Hermione asked curiously.
"The gadget I made a while ago was originally intended to be sold to other students preparing for the exam. Eating this gadget can relieve fatigue to a certain extent and make your thinking clearer." Albert explained: "However,
, I’ve been very busy recently and don’t have time to get some to sell.”
"Is this the so-called magic candy?" Hermione hesitated for a moment and did not reach out to take it.
"This is considered a test product. I have used it myself and have found no side effects so far." Albert thrust the bottle of candy into Hermione's hand: "You may need it."
Hermione was a little surprised that Albert actually forced the bottle to him, but decided to accept his kindness and looked up and down the words on the bottle: "A must-have before taking the exam?"
"The leftover candy should be enough for you to use until the final exam," Albert joked: "Eating this thing to take the exam is cheating. Of course, if you can avoid the professors finding out, it is not cheating."
"Are you planning to sell this thing in the future?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, I think this thing will be very popular among students." Albert said with a smile, "Of course, the price will be very expensive, so if you still want it after eating, you can only spend
Buy the money from me."
"I think Harry and the others will definitely like this thing." Hermione did not deny what Albert said.
Who wouldn’t like a candy that can make people smarter?
"Did you add dragon claw powder to the candy?" Hermione poured out a purple candy from the jar, held it between her fingers and index finger and looked at it curiously. It was no different from her friend's hard candy.
"Of course not, dragon claw powder is very expensive, and using that stuff to make candies is definitely a loss-making business. This kind of candy contains intelligence-enhancing ingredients." Albert made a shushing gesture and whispered softly: "Remember to
I keep it a secret."
"Are intelligence enhancers really that magical?" Hermione was still a little confused. After all, the potions taught in the fourth-year Potions class could be prepared by oneself if necessary.
"Of course it has an effect." Albert blinked and said, "However, the one you have in your hand is my improved intelligence enhancer. It is one of the results I obtained from participating in the Potion Championship."
Hermione did not forget that Albert defeated all the magic schools and won the final championship of the Magic School Potions Championship.
