Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 15 Wizards have weird tastes

   "You... you really gambled?" George Weasley swallowed and said, "That's 25 galleons, just in case... just in case..."

  He never dared to say the words he had guessed wrong, for fear that if he said them himself.

   "I trust my luck and intuition." Albert said calmly, "If you don't try it, if you guess right, you can make a fortune."

   "We have no money." The twins shook their heads after looking at each other. The Weasley family is relatively poor, and even if the twins have some savings, they will not waste it on guessing.

   "Don't look at me, I want to save some money to buy other things." Li Qiaodan shook his head repeatedly. He just thought Albert's actions were crazy, and if he really had the money, he would never use it like this. "

  During the conversation between the four, the train had left London and was speeding along the meadows and fields.

  Albert was flipping through the newspaper while listening to the three chatting about Quidditch. In this regard, he couldn't get in the way at all. Even if he knew the rules, he had to pretend he didn't know.

   After all, Albert came from the Muggle world, so it is logically impossible to know these things about Quidditch.

   "By the way, have you heard about Gabriel Truman?" George suddenly mentioned what happened a while ago.

   "Natley was almost fired from the Ministry of Magic." Fred whispered, "Later, he went to apologize to Gabriel Truman himself, and the matter was over."

   "I've heard that too. However, my mother said that Rita Skeeter's article is not credible." Li Jordan said, "That woman likes to exaggerate the facts."

   "Most newspapers are like this, but the content always needs to be two points true." Albert closed the newspaper and said. As one of the culprits of all this, he naturally knew what happened.

"I went to Truman's cubicle before and heard him talking about it with others. He said that he met a Hogwarts freshman practicing magic during the summer vacation, and then I received a letter inexplicably, saying that he was Gwartz fired," said Fred suddenly. "At that time, Dumbledore came to the door with a member of the Ministry of Magic. The attitude of the Ministry of Magic was very bad, and he didn't even give an apology, so he..."

   Albert raised his eyebrows when he heard the words. He can only say that Westerners are more ostentatious. He reminded Truman to keep it secret, but he has obviously forgotten it. However, he did not speak out about himself.

  Ebert’s soul is oriental after all, the modesty and reservedness in his bones have not disappeared, and he doesn’t like publicity.

   "By the way, do you know how the school is divided?" Albert changed the subject.

   "I don't know, my family won't tell me." Li Qiaodan shook his head and said.

   "Percy says there's a test," said George, a little annoyed. "They don't always want to tell us, they think it's a funny thing."

"How about the life of a wizard, will it be interesting?" Albert thought for a while and said, "At the beginning, when I received the letter, they were all surprised. My mother didn't even welcome Professor McGonagall. She was worried I couldn't find a job after graduation."

   "That's not true, our eldest brother has graduated." The twins said in unison.

   "Bill is working for Gringotts in Africa."

   "Where's your father?" Albert asked knowingly.

   "He works for the Ministry of Magic." The twins looked at each other and said in unison.

   "I think after I graduate, I will probably stay in the Muggle world."

   "Why?" The three asked suspiciously. In their opinion, this was a difficult thing to be straightforward.

   "I came to Hogwarts mainly to learn magic and master how to use magic. Professor McGonagall said that if I don't learn magic, it may cause magic to get out of control in the future."

   "But in the Muggle world, we can't use magic at will, and we can't let Muggles know the existence of magic, otherwise we will get ourselves into trouble."

   "By the way, what do you want to do in the future?"

   "I don't want to work in the Ministry of Magic."

   "Me too." The twins looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

   "It's good to be a Quidditch player. Charlie became the Quidditch captain of Gryffindor this year, but it's a pity that he can only join Quidditch in his second year." George said regretfully.

   "I didn't think about it." Li Qiaodan said.

   "What about you?" All three looked at Albert.

   "Me? Find a job that's easy, easy, and easy to make money."

   "Is there really such a job?" The three couldn't help but look at each other again. If there is such a job, they want it too!

   "There should be, I'm looking for it." Albert said with a smile. He was curious when the twins had the idea of ​​opening a joke shop.

   "If you find it, remember to tell me." Li Qiaodan patted Albert on the shoulder solemnly, and couldn't help laughing.

   "Do you mind if I take a photo of you?" Albert took out his camera and said.

   "Photography?"

   "Yeah, my family wants to know about the magic world." Albert sat the three of them together, raised his camera and took a few pictures of them.

   "Why don't the photos move?" Li Qiaodan raised his hand and poked the photos, probably wanting them to move.

   "Muggle photos don't move." Albert explained, took a look at the photo, and was quite satisfied with it. "It seems that my technology has improved a bit."

   "What's the point of a photo that doesn't move." The three quickly lost interest in the photo.

   When it was approaching noon, there was a noise from the aisle of the train.

   After a while, a witch pushed open the door of the compartment and asked with her head, "Honey, do you want to buy some food?"

   "I want a bibi multi-flavored bean." Li Qiaodan said, he has brought his own food. The twins also brought sandwiches, but they didn't have much money, so they didn't buy any.

   "Bring me some of all the food." Albert said to the smiling witch.

   Just saw Albert's gamble, and the three of them were already numb to his extravagant way of spending money.

   For this, Albert paid a Galleon and bought a bunch of things on the table.

   "I dare say, your family must be very rich." Li Qiaodan muttered.

   "It's not very rich." Albert opened Bibi's multi-flavored beans and ate one, which tasted like bean sprouts. "They are all lawyers."

   "What's that?" None of the three knew about Muggles.

   "People who litigate for others, you also think that they are legally exploiting legal loopholes." Albert thought for a while and said.

   "Legally exploiting legal loopholes." After hearing this, the three of them were a little puzzled. What does it mean to legally exploit legal loopholes? Can exploiting legal loopholes still be legal?

  What kind of show operation is this?

   "Tell me, what kind of food are these?" Albert made a gesture of invitation, he didn't want to eat something inexplicable, wizards have a bit strange taste. Moreover, this is an opportunity. For something like friendship, it still needs to be managed and maintained when it comes to clothing.
