"Albert, do you know about Hagrid?"

When Albert and others were getting dressed and preparing to leave the prefect's bathroom, Hermione quickly stepped forward to stop Albert.

"Hagrid's question?"

Albert asked Fred, George and Lee Jordan to go first.

"Rita Skeeter reported on Hagrid's bloodline in the Daily Prophet." After the three of them walked away, Hermione told Albert about Hagrid, "We went to visit some time ago.

Hagrid, but he didn't open the door for us, I'm a little worried..."

"Oh, Hagrid was talking about his mother being a giant, and Rita Skeeter overheard it?" Albert was not surprised at all, and said to Hermione: "I think Hagrid is

It was a big blow, and there are probably many wizards who sent letters scolding him to die as soon as possible!"

"I can't help it. This matter has spread. No matter what I do, it will not help. I can only let the incident subside on its own."

Albert stopped Hermione before she could speak, blocking what she wanted to say.

"A long time ago, I warned Hagrid not to mention his bloodline to others. I warned him more than once and told him the consequences." Albert sighed softly, shook his head helplessly and said, "But

Hagrid obviously didn't take my words seriously, so now he can be regarded as 'bringing it to himself'."

"It's your own fault?"

Hermione couldn't believe she actually heard such words from Albert.

"Otherwise?" Albert asked, "What do you want me to do, go with you to comfort Hagrid, and then be turned away with you?"

Hermione opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Even she didn't know what she wanted Albert to do. She just wanted to find someone to discuss with him. In Hermione's eyes, Albert was much more reliable than Harry and Ron. Maybe she could think of something.

A way to get Hagrid out of his current depression.

However, Albert said that Hagrid's current situation was entirely his own fault.

"It's useless for you to look at me like this." Albert looked at Hermione and said calmly: "I have reminded him so many times, and he doesn't even care. What can I do? Let Hagrid suffer a little now.

, it is also a good thing to learn a lesson and have a long memory. As for Hagrid, you don’t need to worry about him. Hagrid is older than the three of you combined and can handle this matter by himself. After a while,

Just wait until his mentality adjusts."

"As for Rita Skeeter, it's not the first time that woman has written such an article to win everyone's attention. If you want to find a chance to teach her a lesson, I think you will definitely have the chance.

Because that guy is probably targeting Harry." Albert motioned to Hermione to listen quietly to what he said, "However, you'd better be quick and precise, at least don't give her a chance to cause trouble for you, otherwise you will definitely have big problems.

Trouble, that guy is very good at making ugly remarks about others."

Hermione looked at Albert, her mouth opened in silence, and after a long time she asked: "Why didn't she report your news?"

"The last time she randomly reported news about me, I came to her door and gave her an impressive lesson, so that she would not dare to report any news about me in the newspaper." Albert's tone was calm, as if it was just a trivial matter.

.

Hermione opened her mouth and stared at Albert's leaving back, speechless for a long time.

By the time Hermione returned to the prefects' bathroom, Harry had already taken off his robes and was soaking in the bath with the golden egg. He didn't know what he was saying to Ron.

"What are you doing with Albert?" Harry asked doubtfully.

"I told him about Hagrid."

"Oh, what did he say..."

Hermione was silent for a moment and repeated Albert's words.

"How could he say such a thing? It's a good thing to let Hagrid suffer and learn a lesson so that he can remember it for a long time." Harry and Ron were both very angry about this. "Isn't he Hagrid's friend?"

"Albert...probably feels helpless too, right?"

Hermione understood Albert's helplessness. After all, after reminding him so many times and persuading him so many times, but Hagrid didn't listen, what could he do?

This kind of thing didn't have to happen at all. Hagrid's current experience was completely paying for his own stupidity.

Moreover, everything has happened, what can Albert do?

At most, he could comfort Hagrid like the three of them.

Hermione actually felt that Albert was right. Hagrid had created enough troubles. Most of the time, Albert helped him clean up the mess, but this time he couldn't do anything.

She secretly glanced at Harry and Ron again. Sometimes she felt that they were really immature, and so did she.

"Okay Harry, how's your research on the golden egg going?" Hermione casually changed the subject.

Harry directly demonstrated it to Hermione. He soaked the golden egg in water, and soon a vague singing sound came from the water.

"You need to put your head under the water to hear it clearly." Harry explained to Hermione, "The situation is the same as the song Fred and George sang. The warriors need to get back their treasures within an hour. But now,

There's a problem...I can't swim."

Harry brought up the point of the matter again, that he couldn't swim.

Yes, Harry can't.

Dudley had taken swimming lessons when he was a child, but Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon undoubtedly hoped that Harry would drown one day, so they never let him learn to swim.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became very solemn. If Harry couldn't swim, even with the Soaking Charm in the water, it would be difficult for him to complete the second event of the Triwizard Tournament by himself.

"How about we start learning now? You still have more than a month." Hermione asked tentatively, "I'm actually not very good at swimming. Ron, what about you?"

"I'm not very good at it either." Ron said hesitantly.

"I think this is a good idea. It's winter now. Do you mean that I can learn to swim here?" Harry thought this was a crazy idea. Before he could learn to swim, he might drown or freeze to death.

"I think it may not be just about swimming and breathing." Hermione said to herself, "Don't forget, the competition starts on February 24th, when the weather is still very cold, the one with the most advantage should

It was Krum, and he told me it was cold over there at their school, but I doubt he could have stayed in the lake for an hour."

"He told you?" Ron said in an odd tone.

"Even ordinary people would find it difficult to stay in the water for an hour, let alone in such a low temperature environment. Their physical strength would definitely not be able to hold on."

"You're right Hermione, I think if I went into the water at that time, I would freeze to death within a few minutes." Harry found that the troubles were one after another, which made him very frustrated.

"Moreover, you may need to fight the fish-men to get back the stolen treasure." Ron asked pretending to be casual, "By the way, Hermione, do you really plan to become Krum's treasure?"

"

"Albert said it's just possible!" Hermione said gloomily.

"His words are always accurate." Ron sneered.

…

The Christmas vacation is finally over, and on the first day of school, Fred, George and Lee Jordan, who can no longer hide anymore, face the iron fist of sanctions. Apparently, it was the last time they distributed pastries laced with love agents to the students.

It annoyed some students.

After all, they caused such a big embarrassment in front of the girls, so it seems normal to take revenge on the three of them together. Especially those three bastards, who also imitated Albert and disappeared, and had a backlog of students during the Christmas vacation.

Instead of calming down as the twins had hoped, they became increasingly angry.

Hence the recent attack.

Unfortunately, a group of people couldn't defeat Fred, George and Lee Jordan.

Different from the three people who had been trained by Albert, those guys who came to trouble the three people were simply rookies and only knew how to throw spells. Although this is a strange statement, that was probably the case.

"I thought they would calm down after the Christmas vacation, but I didn't expect..." Fred and Lee Jordan shrugged at Albert and said, "I didn't expect they still remember that incident. We can't let it happen."

Let’s stand and get beaten!”

"That's why I said that we should eat together and pretend that we were accidentally poisoned by a love drug, so they wouldn't come to trouble us. After all, we didn't know that there was a love drug in the dessert, and we were also victims.

"George said with an expression that if you had listened to me, you wouldn't have encountered this situation.

"Who made you want to seek death?" Albert said speechlessly: "I heard that Bagman asked you to be sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies."

Speaking of this, the four of them couldn't help laughing.

No one here will sympathize with that bastard Bagman.

After returning to the common room, the four found that the school had given them a surprise. A large notice was pinned to the bulletin board in the common room:

Apparition Lesson

If you are already seventeen years old or will be seventeen years old by August 31st, you can take a twelve-week Apparition course taught by Apparition instructors from the Ministry of Magic.

If you are willing to participate, please sign below.

Tuition fee: twelve galleons.

"We'd better pass it first time. Charlie took the Apparition test twice." Fred took out his quill and signed it and said to the other partners, "Of course, there must be nothing wrong with Albert."

"Twelve Galleons is a lot of money." George took the quill handed from Fred and signed it, and muttered, "Albert, you don't mind lending us some Galleons first, wait for us

I’ll pay you back when I have the money.”

George actually knew that the wealthy Albert didn't mind them using research funds to pay for the Apparition class, but he still had to tell Albert about it.

Taking out twenty-four Galleons in one breath would undoubtedly make things worse for the Weasley family, who were already financially weak.

"No problem, remember to pay me thirteen galleons when the time comes." Albert took the quill, signed it and said with a smile: "However, when the joke shop opens, you will probably not be short of money anymore.
