Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 776: Not like a human being

 Chapter 776 Not human-like

At a gathering of the Defense Association, news that Harry Potter's Boggart had turned into a mysterious man spread like wildfire, and soon spread throughout the school.

 The students who attended the party had extremely complicated expressions on their faces when recalling this incident, because Harry Potter actually dressed the mysterious man in an Irish dress.

 The mixture of awe and excitement made many students want to witness this scene with their own eyes.

 For a time, Albert's Defense Association gained some fame among students.

When they learned that Albert did not refuse other students to participate in the party, many students also had the idea of ​​​​going to the Defense Association to have a look.

 The next day, some rumors appeared on the black market. As long as you paid a galleon, you could see a photo of the mysterious person wearing an Irish skirt.

 One Galleung, look at a photo.

 It’s just a blatant money grab.

 After knowing this, many students ran to Albert to protest.

The latter reluctantly stated that he had no knowledge of the matter. As for the photo, it was taken away by Porter after the party, so he no longer has the photo here.

 Yes, he did have no photos, only film.

Others wanted to see the photos of the mysterious man for free in Albert, but the latter reluctantly said that he did not want to be banned by Professor McGonagall for spreading the photos of the mysterious man.

 There is no such thing as wanting to get free prostitution from him.

If you want to see the mysterious man wearing an Irish dress with your own eyes, you have to pay an expensive viewing fee, which is obviously unacceptable.

 They went to find Harry, but the latter said that the photo was not with him either.

The angry crowd did not want to be tricked by the black-hearted businessman, so they brought the matter to Professor McGonagall.

 Hearing that someone was spreading photos of the mysterious man, Professor McGonagall was really shocked and was about to call Kenneth over to ask about the specific situation.

However, Professor McGonagall was shocked to find that Kenneth was being treated by Madam Pomfrey in the school hospital because someone put a large amount of foaming powder into his pajamas, causing boils all over his body.

As for the dissemination of the mysterious man's photos, Kenneth insisted that it was purely slander and there was no such thing at all. Someone wanted to frame him and put a large amount of foaming powder in his pajamas.

Professor McGonagall had no choice but to leave the school hospital after warning Kenneth not to spread the photos of the mysterious man.

Many students expressed gloating over the assassination of the sinister businessman Kenneth, but this guy also made a lot of money. There were always a few rich and curious guys in the school who went to him to see the photos of the mysterious man.

I don’t know when, the image of a mysterious man with no nose, blurred features, and wearing an Irish skirt spread quickly in the Hogwarts school.

Everyone knows that it was the savior Harry Potter who put the skirt on the mysterious man.

Although many students couldn't help but gasped when they learned the news, after others spread the news, the image of the mysterious man became more and more popular.

“Kenneth, that idiot, if he is willing to make small profits but quick turnover, he will surely take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money.” Lee Jordan complained angrily.

If Albert hadn’t allowed him to spread the photos of the mysterious man around, Lee Jordan would actually have wanted to share this happiness with everyone.

 If you say there are no photos, that is of course false and is purely used to deceive others.

 “No, Kenneth did the right thing.”

Albert placed a reference book in front of Li Jordan. After noticing the confused looks of the three people, he said: "Even if there are many students who are willing to pay a silver siko, don't forget, as long as Someone is willing to pay a Galleons, which is equivalent to seventeen people paying. Moreover, once this kind of thing spreads on a large scale, it can easily cause trouble and make it a rare item, thereby luring those who are curious. , and are willing to spend money to watch it, it is actually the best choice, because even if someone goes to report to Professor McGonagall, Kenneth can still say that someone is slandering him."

“Anyway, that guy is making money from your things, which makes me very unhappy.” Fred curled his lips and complained, “You should also have a share.”

“So, you put foaming powder in his pajamas?”

“Don’t talk nonsense without proof, or we’ll sue you for slander.” Fred warned with a smile. It was indeed him who put the foaming powder into Kenneth’s pajamas.

"Actually, Kenneth originally planned to give me a share, but I refused." Albert said suddenly.

 “You refused?”

 The three of them looked a little stunned when they heard that Albert actually refused.

 “I want nothing to do with it,” said Albert.

"That guy is so brave. You refused, but he still dared to do this." George admired Kenneth's courage.

"You are right, Kenneth has tricked himself." Albert shook his head.

"How to say."

"The mysterious man is not completely dead yet. He may crawl out of the coffin again one day. If he learns about this, what do you think the mysterious man will do?" Albert dared to pat his conscience and promise that he really Kenneth was not tricked, the guy was on his way to death and never came back.

"How to do it?" Fred said without thinking: "It must be to send Kenneth an Avada Kedavra directly."

"Then why don't we..." Lee Jordan also realized the problem. As Albert, who took the photo, he would definitely become the target of the mysterious man's revenge.

"If the mysterious man really climbs out of the coffin, I will definitely hide immediately so that he cannot find me." Albert was already prepared for this.

 After all, he dared to take pictures of the mysterious man so blatantly, so he naturally considered the consequences.

"However, you don't need to worry for the time being. One day he really lifts the coffin board and crawls out. The first thing he will do is not make trouble for us. By the time he learns about this from some people, we will have already hidden him. Woke up."

“Can that noseless guy really lift up the coffin board and crawl out again?” Fred couldn’t help but ask.

 Actually, they can guess the answer even without asking.

 Albert’s prophecy is consistent with this matter.

"The mysterious man is not as scary as you think. Don't forget, we also have a savior here." Albert comforted with a smile.

 “Harry is not as reliable as he thought.”

"Harry will grow up." Albert said calmly, "As long as we take advantage of the mysterious man's fear of the wizarding world, we can easily earn a lot of Galleons and fame in the field of defense against the dark arts."

"Alas, I find that in your eyes, the mysterious man is just a tool to make money." George admired Albert's courage and ability, and he also believed that Albert could achieve the prospect he described.

"If the mysterious man knew about it, he would probably be so angry that his nose would be crooked. Oh, by the way, he has no nose." Fred was actually not too worried about the mysterious man.

  After all, Albert behaved so calmly and was ready to make a fortune by taking advantage of the panic that the mysterious man brought to the magical world. He had obviously predicted the outcome of the mysterious man through divination.

 At least, Albert is confident in dealing with the trouble caused by the mysterious man.

This made the three people who had great confidence in Albert begin to gear up and prepare to make a fortune with Albert.

“Before that, you’d better finish your holiday homework.”

Albert opened his notebook, looked at the calendar above and reminded, "It's already halfway through the Easter holiday, and you haven't even taken the time to review the exam content."

 “You haven’t reviewed it either?” Fred said.

 “Of course I do,” Albert corrected.

“You don’t want to say that you have done all your holiday homework, do you?” George looked at Albert suspiciously. In his memory, Albert did not spend much time on doing holiday homework and reviewing homework at all.

“Hurry, the last part is done.”

 “When did you finish?”

 The three of them looked at Albert together, "You guys have been in the library for less time than us."

"My homework is also better than yours...I am more efficient than you all," Albert returned his gaze to the parchment in front of him.

To be honest, this paper on the curse of existence is really not difficult for him. What limits the speed at which he can finish his holiday homework is actually his writing speed.

“Did you just say that you have less homework than us during the holidays? Damn it, you have twelve classes of homework to do, but you actually have less homework than us?”

"I didn't say that..." Albert defended, although he really wanted to say that.

 “No, you definitely meant to say that just now.”

“I think if you continue to argue about these meaningless things, you might as well spend more time on your homework.”

 At this moment, Hermione hurriedly walked this way.

"problem occurs."

 She said to Albert anxiously, "Something happened over there with Hagrid."

"What's going on?" Albert couldn't help but frowned. He always felt that his Easter was cursed, and he would come out to cause trouble every year.

"The Ministry of Magic just sent an owl letter, saying that it has decided to change the place of Buckbeak's appeal to Hogwarts." Hermione took a deep breath to calm down and said, "Hagrid suspects that the Ministry of Magic plans to directly Bring the executioner here to kill Buckbeak."

 “At what time?” Albert asked.

"the day after tomorrow."

 “There is still plenty of time.”

Albert’s tone was calm, as if all the problems were not worth mentioning to him.

"But, having said that, didn't the Ministry of Magic say that the next appeal will still be at the Ministry of Magic? Why did you suddenly change your attention?"

Albert suspected this was the butterfly effect.

 “I don’t know, Hagrid hopes you...”

Albert raised his hand to interrupt Hermione.

 “I’m free in the afternoon, so I can go to Hagrid’s place for afternoon tea!”

Hermione opened her mouth. Seeing how calm Albert looked, her originally nervous mood could not help but relax. She believed that Albert already had a way to save Buckbeak.

"Albert is very calm," Harry whispered to Ron, "I hope he can save Buckbeak."

 “Harry.”

Hermione looked uneasily at Malfoy, who had just passed them, and looked at Harry reproachfully.

"He probably didn't hear it!" Harry looked at Malfoy's leaving figure uneasily.

 “Don’t kid yourself, Harry.”

"What should we do now?" Ron said uneasily, "Or, I'll beat Malfoy..."

"Don't be stupid, you shouldn't cause trouble." Hermione looked at the two friends desperately. She felt that she had better tell Albert about this.

 After learning about it, the latter fell into a brief silence.

If this thing continues, maybe Buckbeak will be rescued!

However, Albert didn’t want to gamble. He didn’t have Potter’s protagonist aura. If Buckbeak lost his head because of this, Hagrid’s mission would be completely over.

However, what is Porter's situation now?

 Have you been influenced by yourself and gradually turned into a pig teammate?

From Albert's point of view, it is not terrible for Malfoy to know about this matter. After all, he can make the other party forget these things at any time.

However, Harry Potter is the savior, the one favored by the world.

If Porter really turns into a pig teammate, Albert thinks it would be better for him to stay away from him.

 “Others are still not very reliable!” Albert muttered.

He was not disappointed by this. After all, with people like him, some changes would occur in the future.

Although Albert tried his best not to change certain things before, even he had to admit that some things had changed because of him.

 “Potter, don’t let me down!” Albert murmured.

Once Potter is really unreliable, don't blame him for treating Potter as a victim and personally sending Voldemort on his way.

 …

 “What did he say?” Harry asked uneasily.

 “He said he would sort it out,” Hermione said soothingly.

"But how is he going to solve Malfoy's problem?" Ron asked.

"I think it should be the Forgetting Curse!" Hermione thought of a possibility. After all, Albert also has a time turner. He could ambush Malfoy on his way out in advance and directly cast a Forgetting Curse on him to make Malfoy completely forget. Those words of profit.

Hermione probably wouldn't have noticed this if she hadn't seen Albert taking his pocket watch out of his pocket to check the time.

"Perhaps, we should also learn the Oblivion Charm." Ron whispered, "We can use it on Malfoy then."

"Don't be stupid. Once the Forgetting Curse is used improperly, it may directly turn others into fools." Hermione frowned and said, "If I were you, I would do my holiday homework first instead of worrying about the inability to help. Busy business."

 “I didn’t mean to do it,” said Harry.

"Of course I know you didn't mean it, there's no need to discourage Harry." Hermione comforted softly: "Albert is different from us."

"I don't see any difference," Ron muttered.

"Don't you think Albert is becoming less and less of a human being?" A helpless smile appeared on Hermione's face, "No matter in which aspect, I doubt that young Dumbledore is like Albert. It's scary. You can't see his shortcomings. He is impeccable in every aspect. He can even solve many problems easily. He is simply omnipotent. I even heard that he plans to capture Black and bring him to the Ministry of Magic for money. Think about it carefully. Think about it, Black, who is notorious in the Ministry of Magic, is just a money bag in his eyes."

“Is it too late for me to sign up now?” Ron suddenly asked.
