Chapter 854： Start of school

The next morning, when the storm stopped, Albert opened the window and the oncoming air was exceptionally fresh, but the weather outside still showed no signs of clearing up. There were large black clouds rolling in the sky, and it might rain again at any time.

"Good morning." George covered his yawn and greeted Albert. "It looks like it will rain outside."

"If the torrential rains continue, there will be floods in the lake." Lee Jordan also got up. They had to go to the auditorium early today to finalize the sixth-grade curriculum from Professor McGonagall.

"The sixth grade is great. We have a lot of time to allocate freely." Fred said happily:

"Don't waste much time at Hogwarts. For you now, the most precious thing is the Hogwarts library. Take advantage of the remaining two years and use the books in the library. They can provide more inspiration for your joke props." Albert opened a package of cat food to feed Tom, and said to the three people who are ready to embrace the happy sixth grade life, "If you don't want to be the next Joko ."

"What does this have to do with Joko?" Fred was puzzled, so he talked about Joko for the sake of clarity.

"Zoko is a typical example of exhaustion of inspiration. He does not have enough knowledge to support him to study more joke props, and it turns out that it looks like that." Albert closed the window and motioned to several people as they walked.

"There are still people patronizing Joko's shop. It's completely because there are no other new stores to compete with him. If there are other more interesting joke shops, Joko's joke shop may be unable to withstand the market shock and close at any time."

"I remember you said something similar before, thinking that after our joke shop opened, we might squeeze Joko's joke shop down." George agreed with Albert's remarks because of Joko's shop. It's really been a long time since I launched any funny joke props.

"Didn't we have you?"

Fred felt that they didn't need to worry about those things at all. Perhaps as Albert said, the development of joke props would be stalled because of insufficient knowledge in the later stage, but they have Albert. After Albert graduated from Hogwarts school, the knowledge reserve in his head was equivalent to a mobile library. What's more, they also know that Albert has a habit of collecting books. With his book storage, they can fully support their shop.

"By the way, are you planning to set up a radio broadcast?" Lee Jordan suddenly interrupted and asked, "If I want, I can write to my father and ask him to find a way to help us get the radio equipment."

"It's not anxious in advance. Even if we get the equipment, we won't be able to build it for a while, and we haven't figured out what is appropriate to broadcast. These things have to be planned slowly." Albert went down the stairs into the public. When she was in the lounge, she followed the girls’ dormitory to say hello, and said to Lee Jordan: "I think you can give our radio a name first."

"Little secrets of gossip?" Lee Jordan said solemnly, "If you allow me to spread a little bit of your personal information, I think our radio station will become popular soon."

"Why don't you discuss the color of Snape's **** on the radio?" Albert gave Lee Jordan a stern look.

"This is a good idea. It will make people lose their appetite. As we all know, Snape may not wash his underwear for a few days. Moreover, we don't know what color Snape's underwear is." Lee Jordan said immediately. The disgusting eyes of the girls around, "but we know what color your underwear is."

"Man, I think you are on your way to death." Fred and George couldn't help laughing. They patted Lee Jordan on the shoulder with a self-seeking expression.

Noting the expression that Albert had seen, Lee Jordan’s neck shrank and hurriedly defended: “Many people are very curious about your affairs. It is better to let them arrange some messy gossip news. I used it to chat with you, everyone knows, there will be no more messy gossip."

"Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death?"

"Sorry, I was just kidding." Lee Jordan apologized immediately.

"If you really want to be popular, you can completely interpret recent events, such as the attack at the World Cup, why the Ministry of Magic's response was so bad, or the attack on Professor Moody's yesterday." Albert Give Lee Jordan a direction.

"Isn't this similar to the content inside?"

"Yes, you can talk about these topics together and interpret some of the recent events. Many wizards are actually very poor at interpreting key information." Albert does not deny this. He is going to let them do the broadcast first. To accumulate experience.

"I don't think my ability to interpret is much better." Lee Jordan sat down beside Albert, picked up the latest issue, and quickly found a report about Moody: The Ministry of Magic has another mess.

However, Rita Keist deliberately downplayed the old Auror Moody's incident in the article and turned her attention to Weasley. For this reason, she deliberately changed Arthur Weasley's name to Arnold Weasley. Moreover, there was a picture of Weasley's house attached to the bottom of the newspaper, which was obviously unkind.

"Mum must be very happy. She has always hated Rita Kist's woman." George took the newspaper and frowned after reading the article. "I dare you to say that the woman must have made the wrong name on purpose. "

"But she still reads Rita Kist's articles, doesn't she? We have to admit that Rita Skeeter's nonsense technology has contributed to sales."

"In your words, people are sometimes unwilling to accept reality, because that would be too cruel for them. They only want to accept the reality that they want to believe." Fred took the newspaper and looked at it and said, "Li Tower Skeeter is very good at digging into the secrets of others, and then write articles in a way that many people like. In fact, I am even more curious, Rita Skeeter actually let you go, there is no gossip news spread everywhere?"

"Because I talked to her about it, I told her to shut up." Albert finished his milk and began to make himself a ham sandwich.

"How do you convince her?"

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan found it incredible, and it was obvious that a woman like Rita Skeeter couldn't easily compromise.

"Everyone has weaknesses. She reported these for nothing but profit. As long as the negotiation is settled, she will naturally shut up and compromise."

"It's really you who found Rita Skeeter's weakness."

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were very curious, but when they saw that Albert didn't intend to speak, they didn't continue to ask questions.

At this moment, Hermione did not know when to come to Albert's side.

"We can talk about house elves."

"Anything about fiction?"

"No, I gave up the novel temporarily. Do you know where the kitchen is? Nick told me that there are hundreds of house elves oppressed at Hogwarts." Hermione took a deep breath and reorganized her words: "I I want to set up an association to ensure that the house elves get reasonable wages and a good working environment. I don’t know if you have any good suggestions."

"No one will join your association except Harry and Ron." Albert was silent for a long time and reminded: "Your original intention is good, but your approach is heresy in the eyes of other wizards. No wizard will Support your approach."

"why?"

Hermione's eyes widened in disbelief.

"House elves are slaves of wizards. No master will allow slaves to be equal to them." Albert motioned to Hermione to continue listening to him. "If you want house elves to have some power, then house elves and wizards There will inevitably be a war between them. Although it is cruel, some things can be won with blood, but the house elves do not have that power, and their situation will only be worse than they are now."

"But I just hope that they can be treated well, and that their rights can be guaranteed." Hermione looked at Albert in shock, unable to immediately why such a terrible thing happened.

"Because you are in the wrong direction, your idea is too naive." Albert pointed out: "Your goal should be to allow house elves to be treated kindly, so that they can be completely integrated into the wizard family and become an important part of the whole family. One member, rather than guaranteeing their power, is unrealistic and impossible to achieve, because wizards will never separate their power."

"But no one likes to be a slave." Hermione said tremblingly.

"They like to be other people's slaves!" Fred reminded, "They like to work and to serve wizards. Hermione, I think you should be sober instead of leading the house elves to strike out and fight for your own power."

Hermione didn't speak, but stared at Albert.

"Yes, no one likes to be a slave." Albert said helplessly: "But thousands of years of slavery have completely changed the nature of house elves. This is not something you can change with a single word, even Dumbledore. immutable."

"Even if you want to help them, they will not appreciate it, but hate you even more, and even treat you as an enemy." Albert continued, "If you really want to help them, you should guide and call on wizards to be able to Treat them well, let them become a reliable part of the family, rather than as slaves, similar to our pets as a part of the family, and this requires a person to spend a long time to work, if you really want to The house elves enact a protection law, then you should aim to become the Minister of Magic. Only when you become the Minister of Magic, can you have such an opportunity to call on everyone to treat the house elves kindly."

"Minister of Magic." Hermione stared at Albert with wide eyes.

"Yes, it's difficult." Albert said, "That's why I suggest that you write a book to guide people to treat house elves in a subtle way through books."

After Hermione walked away, Fred murmured, "I thought she was a smart girl."

"Hermione is just a little naive, too taken for granted." Albert shook his head.

"Do you think Hermione can become Minister of Magic?"

"It's hard to say, if the Ministry of Magic's environment doesn't change, she probably won't have any chance." Albert said softly, "But who knows about the future?"

"You know!" George said, "As long as you want."

"That's it." Albert laughed.

As soon as Albert finished his breakfast, he saw Professor McGonagall coming over to distribute the timetable. She needs to determine the selected N.E. improvement classes for the sixth grade students to ensure that their O. scores meet the minimum requirements of the professors.

"Spells, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Herbology, Potions, Arithmetic Divination, and Ancient Magic Texts." Professor McGonagall repeated the course Albert had chosen, taking his wand and tapping it on the schedule. When handing the filled-in class schedule to Albert, she lowered her voice and asked, "I remember your birthday is in September."

"Yes, on September 21st, are you going to give me a birthday present?" Albert asked jokingly.

"Then do you plan to participate in this year's Triwizard Tournament?" Professor McGonagall lowered his voice.

"I do plan to sign up." Albert headed his head: "For a Gryffindor, such an interesting game is naturally not to be missed."

"The Triwizard Tournament is more dangerous than you think. If you have watched..."

"You mean that in the 1792 competition, a soft-tailed monster was out of control, causing all three principals to be injured?"

"The Triwizard Tournament is still very dangerous for you. If you want to participate, you should put your mind right." Professor McGonagall reminded.

"In my opinion, catching a snake-tailed monster is not too dangerous. Even if the Triwizard Tournament needs to face fire dragons, I have the confidence to defeat them." Albert said calmly.

Professor McGonagall opened his mouth slightly, turned and left. Although she felt that Albert was a bit overconfident, but thinking of his sturdy deeds, Hogwarts really did not have anyone more suitable to be a warrior than him.

"In this Triwizard Tournament, do the Warriors need to face the Fire Dragon?" Lee Jordan felt that he was right.

"Fire dragons are not easy to deal with, especially their scales. Most magic does not work. How do you plan to defeat them." Fred and George are very curious about how Albert intends to defeat the fire dragon.

"Fire dragons also have weaknesses, and it is not difficult to deal with them against their weaknesses. UU Reading "

"What is the weakness of the fire dragon?"

"Eyelids, so only one eye spell can hurt them." Albert shrugged.

"That means you need to deal with a crazy dragon." Li Qiaodan muttered, "It feels crazy."

"There is a defense against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon, and I suddenly expected what Professor Moody would call us."

"How to fight the dark wizard, after all, he is an Auror and is very familiar with this aspect" Albert took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.

"But you didn't mean..."

"That doesn't affect it, does it?" Albert packed his things and stood up: "I have to go. There is an ancient magical lesson in the morning."

"Albert's words always confuse people." Fred said, looking at Albert's departure.

"I think he actually guessed everything, he just didn't tell us." George smiled and greeted Fred and said, "Let's go, we should do something."

"Where are you going?" Li Qiaodan was a little stunned. How come these people just keep talking?

"Of course to study our gadgets!" George said of course: "You forgot, Albert asked us to hurry up."

"If we want to make a fortune this time, we naturally have to prepare in advance." Fred and George said in unison: "After all, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared."

After speaking, the two people crossed their shoulders and headed back to the common room. They were going to move everything in the dormitory to the laboratory in the room for requests. After all, fiddling with those in the dorm is obviously not a good idea.

"I agree with Albert's words, but can't you wait for me?" Lee Jordan ate the food on the plate in two bites and hurriedly chased him.
