Chapter 859 Albert is very busy

"You really don't plan to publish a paper in Transfiguration Today this year?" Cedric couldn't understand why Albert would temporarily give up publishing a paper in Transfiguration Today.

"Originally, I thought I would be able to relax a bit in sixth grade, but it turns out there are still a lot of things going on." Albert let out a long sigh, as if he wanted to spit out all the stress accumulated during this period: "I'm almost too busy.

I'm out of breath, and it's not good to keep occupying the paper position in "Transfiguration Today". I have to make room for newcomers. Now I don't lack fame, and I don't care about those things. What's more, I think you should compete for "

The Most Promising Newcomer Award of "Transfiguration Today", get a few more titles, and it will be easier to enter the Ministry of Magic in the future."

Cedric was silent for a moment, and finally said thank you to Albert. He finally knew the reason why Albert gave up publishing the paper in "Transfiguration Today". This was the most potential for him to obtain "Transfiguration Today".

Newcomer Award opportunities.

If Albert continues to publish papers in magazines, with his big mountain standing in his way, it is basically impossible for any Hogwarts student to win the Most Promising Newcomer Award before he graduates.

"Wait a moment, Mr. Anderson." Professor McGonagall stopped Albert as he was about to leave Classroom 21.

"Professor McGonagall, what's the matter?" Albert stopped and turned to look at Professor McGonagall, who was walking this way.

"Transfiguration Today is going to compile your previously published papers into a collection of papers." Professor McGonagall told Albert about the good news. However, she did not get the answer she expected.

"Professor, can I get royalties? I mean, if my collection of papers is published there, can I receive galleons?" Albert asked this question directly without any hesitation.

Professor McGonagall opened her mouth and didn't know how to answer for a moment. Albert's question was a bit beyond her expectation, because there was no royalties for writing a paper for "Transfiguration Today", even if she used her free time

Editing articles for "Transfiguration Today" is also free.

Oh, if receiving a free copy of "Today's Transfiguration" every month counts as royalties.

"If there is no royalties, forget it!" Albert said lightly, as if it was an insignificant thing.

"This is a great opportunity!" Cedric reminded kindly, "I dare say that "Transfiguration Today" has never done anything like this."

"That's because they don't have the chance to do that. I've published enough deformation papers in recent years, and I'm very famous now. They just plan to use my fame to publish books and make money." Albert didn't care about other people around him.

He cast a strange look and said to himself: "If they don't want to give me money and still want me to work for them, how can it be such a good thing?"

"It seems to make sense." Cedric was stunned.

"If there is no mention of royalties, please reply to them. I am already famous enough and I don't want to be more famous." Albert said to Professor McGonagall.

"Okay!" Professor McGonagall revealed the matter speechlessly and continued, "One more thing. The president of the Boys' Student Union complained to me that you threw away the job of prefect."

"Professor, I think we should give the newcomers some opportunities to train themselves. I can't do everything by me and let them lose the opportunity to make mistakes and grow, right?" Albert quickly made an excuse for himself.

Cedric once again had a new understanding of his friend's shamelessness. Why could he describe laziness in such a fresh and refined way?

"This will be very detrimental to your seventh-year campaign for student union president." Professor McGonagall frowned and reminded.

"It's okay, there is Cedric, a serious and responsible good student, I think it is quite suitable." Albert didn't care at all about whether he could become the president of the student union, and he didn't forget to complain: "

There are so many things going on lately, I always have not enough time, and I am so busy that I feel dizzy.”

"Well, you can always find various excuses anyway." Professor McGonagall stared at Albert for a while and stopped talking about it, because she found that Albert really didn't seem interested in becoming the student union president.

.

Of course, it may be that Albert is really too busy, and after turning in the time turner, there is not enough time.

After several people left office No. 21 together, Cedric asked doubtfully: "Are you really short of money? Why did I hear others say that you took a stack of first-class tickets and watched them at the World Cup stadium for several days?

match."

Everyone else around them looked at Albert. It was not easy to get a ticket to the top box. How could this guy just give it a try?

"The tickets were given by others. I don't have the galleons to buy such expensive tickets. It's not like I have money and nothing to spend it on." Albert shrugged and explained.

"Why didn't anyone give me World Cup tickets?" Cedric couldn't help but feel sour as he thought of the Galleons spent to go to the Quidditch World Cup with his father.

"No one will give you tickets, but someone will give you money!" Albert smiled and patted Cedric on the shoulder: "You can submit an article to "Defense Guide". If you can be accepted, it will be published in the magazine

If you go up, you can get a royalties, which is said to be up to ten galleons, paid every month. Think about it carefully, make some money, and go out on dates with Qiu in the future. At least you will have money to buy her a gift."

"Qiu and I..."

"Haven't you got her yet?" Albert looked at Cedric suspiciously, "What's there to be embarrassed about having a girlfriend?"

"What is the Defense Guide?" Cedric hurriedly changed the subject.

"Professor Lupine created a magazine. You know, it's basically difficult for him to find a job because of his identity, so I suggested that he start a magazine." Albert let Cedric go and continued: "My side

I have a copy and I will give it to you next Monday."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "No wonder you just complained about "Transfiguration Today"." Cedric said suddenly.

"It's just that "Today's Transfiguration" looks ugly, otherwise I don't want to care about these nonsense at all." Albert shrugged and said: "If the other party is really sincere, they will contact me directly through owl to discuss this matter with me.

Instead of telling me through Professor McGonagall, there is no sincerity at all. Of course, it may be that the editor-in-chief of "Transfiguration Today" is a fool, or he doesn't want to pay me at all, so he dare not tell me directly about this.

"

"You can see it clearly." Cedric sighed softly, changed the subject and said, "By the way, Gabriel wrote to me during the summer vacation. He said that you introduced him to the Muggle Liaison Department of the Ministry of Magic.

office."

"I don't have that much ability. Gabriel entered the Ministry of Magic on his own ability, and the Muggle Liaison Office often cannot recruit people. You know, many purebloods don't like Muggle-related careers.

." Albert and Truman still keep in touch, writing a letter every month. Truman often tells some nonsense in the letter, or talks about the news he heard in the Ministry of Magic. Recently, he followed Albert's advice and prepared

He wrote a novel about the farce he encountered in the Muggle Liaison Office.

"My birthday is coming soon. Just send me the "Defense Guide" as a birthday gift." Cedric stopped and asked, "What gift do you want? A book or candy?"

"You can give me a quill, not one with bright colors."

Katrina, who was following them, heard the two asking each other for birthday gifts, and couldn't help but complain: "You guys are very straightforward!"

"I think sometimes I can let it go, at least I won't receive a bunch of gifts I don't like on birthdays and Christmas. Nowadays, many people are used to giving me various books on my birthday. Most of my bookshelf

Books are all gifts from others." Albert smiled and joked: "What birthday present are you going to give me?"

"On your birthday, let me give you a book." Katrina prepared the gift early, and Albert's gift was easy to choose anyway.

"I have something to do later, so I'm leaving first." When Cedric passed the entrance of the secret passage, he stopped and said goodbye to the two of them, then reached out to push aside the carpet beside the wall, bent down and got in.

After Cedric left, the two continued walking along the corridor and reached the fifth floor through the moving stairs.

On the unmanned corridor heading to the library, Katrina suddenly stopped and asked Albert: "Do you think my current dress looks like Isobel's?"

"I think you were better before." Albert had actually noticed Katrina's dress for a long time, and said seriously: "You are you, and she is her."

"Don't you want to invite Isobel to the Christmas ball?" When Katrina talked about this, her expression was slightly complicated, "I agree."

"Sorry, I have given up that bad idea. I think Isobel should have told you about this." Albert apologized to Katrina neatly: "I have to apologize to you about this, I hope I didn't make you unhappy.

.”

Katrina was silent again and smiled: "You don't have to apologize, I think there are countless girls who want to compete for your dance partner position."

"Thank you." Albert breathed a sigh of relief, "Isobel is not here, so choosing a dance partner is really troublesome."

For some reason, Katrina found it a little funny, and she also felt a little sympathetic to the group of students who wanted to compete with Albert for the Warriors, because Albert already knew the outcome in advance before something started.

When the two of them walked into the library, they met Professor Moody at the entrance. He was waiting for Mrs. Pince to go through the book borrowing procedures, complaining nonchalantly: "...I can't find a more suitable book now."

The senior students have become textbooks, so I think it would be good to use some of the Auror training materials to teach the students."

"Professor Moody, do you have Auror training materials?" Albert glanced at the book "Encountering the Faceless Monster" in Moody's hand.

"Although I don't mind lending you those textbooks, doing so does not comply with the regulations of the Ministry of Magic." Moody turned his head and grinned at Albert with an ugly smile, and his magic eyes swept across Albert's face.

, fell on the face of Katrina who entered the library with him, and then retracted her gaze and said: "The Ministry of Magic will definitely not like the leakage of Auror training content. To be honest, they don't want students to be exposed to too much about curses.

Knowledge, even some knowledge of black magic, can only be accessed in the sixth grade. Damn it, no wonder most wizards can't recite a decent Iron Armor Curse."

"I thought you would let those rules go to hell." Albert said without hesitation, "Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts has always been a joke internationally."

"You are right, I think so too." Professor Moody said in a rough voice, "The students in the school are indeed very poor in their defense against dark arts. You are probably the only exception I have found. If you can

If you become a champion of Hogwarts, I will suggest to Dumbledore that you open the books in the restricted area."

Moody didn't know that Albert actually had the "right to use" the restricted area for a long time. Even if it was not open to him, he could still borrow the books in the restricted area.

"Okay, don't talk here. If you want to talk, go outside the library and say it." Mrs. Pings finally couldn't stand the two guys in front of her who ignored the library rules. She glared at them and prepared to

Started to chase people away.

"With your current level, it will be easy to pass the Auror test. What you need now is to accumulate experience rather than learn those messy spells." After Moody finished speaking, he turned and left.

Regarding Auror training materials, Albert had not expected to obtain them from Moody from the beginning. He believed that it would not be difficult to obtain Auror training materials through the Wildsmith family.

Katrina occupied a space for the two of them, and then went to find information with Albert, "I heard that Professor Moody has a nickname called Mad-Eye."

"It's really suitable for him." Albert said softly: "Professor Moody was once recognized as the best Auror at that time. It is said that he captured most of the prisoners in Azkaban Prison now, so

He has a lot of enemies, and he is paranoid and worried about retaliation from others all day long."

"He seems to be very optimistic about you becoming an Auror?" Katrina placed a few books in front of Albert and began to flip through the information needed for the paper on the Transfiguration Spell.

"It's a pity that I have no interest in Aurors. It's not good to fight too much. I'm a pacifist." Albert took the book and started to read it. He also did not forget to look through the knowledge reserve in his brain, looking for knowledge about human body deformation.

.

Katrina didn't believe a word of this. Many strange things happened in the school in the past, and some Slytherin students had bad luck, but no one knew who did it, at least there was no evidence.

Ten minutes later, Albert began to concentrate on writing a paper on human body transformation. He needed to finish the homework he had accumulated some time ago as soon as possible. He promised Isobel to go over for dinner in the afternoon and read the "Guide to Ancient Magic Texts" she had recently written.

"content.

The content of "Defense Guide" next month also needs his attention. Not only that, he also has two letters and a paper on "Spell Innovation" to write. As Albert said before, he will spend all day

Extremely busy.
