Chapter 106: Chrismas holiday
After the Daily Prophet announced that Cornelius Fudge would become the next Minister of Magic, about two weeks later, the Daily Prophet’s quiz reward was delivered by the Owl Postman.
It was still snowing outside, and the owl postmen rushed into the auditorium as usual.
Among them, an owl threw a frozen envelope in front of Albert. In a moment, another owl threw a heavy-looking animal skin bag on the table in front of Albert, and the dull metal sound suddenly attracted the attention of others around him.
Albert stretched out his hand to pick up the animal skin bag and squeezed it twice. After listening to the crisp sound inside, he guessed what was in the animal skin bag.
He did not open the animal skin bag on the spot, but put it in his backpack. Then, draw out the magic wand and use the drying spell to remove the frost on the envelope, then open the envelope and read the contents.
The letter read:
Congratulations, Mr. Albert Anderson.
You have won 100 gallons in the quiz for the "Next Minister of Magic". Please sign for it. ——Barnabas Gufe
Note: Before signing, please do not open the animal skin bag, which has been enchanted to ensure that Albert himself receives the Garon.
In the envelope, there is another piece of parchment, which is a magic contract to ensure that the money is signed by Albert himself.
If someone else tries to take money that doesn’t belong to them from the animal skin bag, they will get into trouble. As for what the trouble is, the letter doesn’t say, Albert guessed it might be some kind of curse or some kind of tracking magic. , So that they can find the thief who stole the money.
Albert wants to keep this secret as low-key as possible, but the secret will always spread like wildfire.
Soon after, all the teachers and students of the school knew that he participated in the quiz of the Daily Prophet and had won a large sum of Jin Jialong.
As for how much?
No one knows the specific number. Some people say 50 gallons, some say 100 gallons, and some guess 200 gallons. In the end, George couldn't help telling the truth and envied a bunch of people.
Every time someone talks about this, the sour tone is almost about to corrode a big hole in the ground.
"Now, everyone calls you "Lucky Albert"." Shanna sat in front of Albert, turned and asked, "What do you think?"
"Very good, I like this name, and I hope I can continue to be lucky, maybe I can win the jackpot again." Albert said with a smile.
"You can sleep on the table for a while now, maybe you can dream of winning the jackpot." Shanna couldn't help rolling her eyes.
"My luck has always been good." Albert took out his wand, shook it in front of a few people, and continued to flicker: "Mr. Ollivander told me that a wand made of red cedar will be able to bring the user Fortunately, my magic wand is made of red cedar."
"Can the red cedar bring luck?" Angelina looked suspicious, obviously not believing these words.
"There has indeed been such a saying. It is said that the wand made of redwood can bring luck to the user, so this kind of wand is very popular with wizards." Katrina looked up and down Albert with a weird look. " Of course, some people think this is pure nonsense."
"Of course it is true. I guessed it right with the help of a magic wand." Albert's wand can really bring a lucky look.
The face of Lee Jordan next to him was twitching slightly. In their memory, that was really the case. At that time, Albert "put the wand vertically on the table and let it fall to one side freely", and then inexplicably decided to press 25 Gallon on Connelly Fudge.
When Fred told everyone about the situation, everyone was dumbfounded, with the look of you **** kidding me.
What kind of show operation is this? Is this the correct posture to win the jackpot?
However, this matter did not allow everyone to discuss for too long, the Christmas holiday has quietly approached.
After Albert packed his luggage, he took the school’s night horse carriage and walked along the snow-filled road to the Hogsmeade station.
"What are you doing?" George asked in a puzzled way, and he saw Albert scoring his hands towards the front of the carriage.
"Aren't you curious about what is pulling the carriage?" Albert pointed to the snowy tunnel. "Don't you see the footprints on the snow?"
"Something is pulling the cart?" The three of them all looked shocked, but the footprints on the snow are indeed the best evidence, an invisible horse.
"Yeqi," Albert said softly. "It is said that only those who have seen death can see Yeqi."
"I've heard of these creatures, they are very unlucky." Li Jordan tried to pull Albert away from Ye Qi, and whispered, "I heard that these creatures will bring terrible disasters to those who see them. , Is a bad omen."
"You think too much. Yeqi is a kind of flying horse, and its bad reputation is related to dead people. Otherwise, do you think Hogwarts will use them to pull carts?" Albert couldn't help but glance at Li Jordan, pulling I entered the express train with my luggage and prepared to find an unmanned carriage to rest.
Looking at the leaping scenery outside the window, Albert was in a good mood. Along the way, several people ate snacks and chatted about what to do during the Christmas holiday.
When I was bored, I also played the Bibidou adventure proposed by Fred. This game is to close your eyes, just pick up a Bibi Duo bean and put it in your mouth to see who is unlucky enough to taste the strange taste.
Lee Jordan was the most unlucky when he ate a piece of soil. He once again claimed in front of everyone that he was no longer eating Bibi Duo beans, which made everyone laugh.
When the train began to pass through the Muggle town, Albert took off his wizard cloak and put on a Muggle coat. Fortunately, Daisy prepared his coat carefully, otherwise Albert would have forgotten it.
In the afternoon, the train finally stopped at King’s Cross Station.
Everyone was about to leave platform 9 and 3/4, but was stopped at the ticket gate by a shriveled old guard who did not allow too many people to pass through at once.
A large group of people emerged from the solid wall at the same time, attracting the attention of the Muggles.
However, the Hogwarts students still attracted Muggles' attention.
When Albert just walked out of the wall, he found a well-dressed man standing by the wall, and several Ministry of Magic people around.
Among them, there is actually one who uses the phantom spell on himself. However, the technique of the phantom spell is really not very good, and Albert vaguely captured his position.
Before mastering the phantom spell, Albert may not notice the opponent, but he still has some understanding of the phantom spell, and it is not too difficult to find the flaw.
"Bye, Albert!"
"Goodbye, Albert!"
Li Jordan and Shanna waved goodbye to Albert.
"Goodbye." Albert also waved at them.
"He is there, mom, Albert is there!" Nia ran towards here as she waved her hand. Albert waved to his family with a smile on his face, then turned to Fred and George and said, "Goodbye, I'm leaving now!"
"Goodbye, my family is here too." Fred pointed not far away. Albert saw the red-haired Weasleys, Fred's brother Ron and sister Ginny.
"What are you looking at?" Niya complained dissatisfied.
"Okay, okay, I'll buy you snacks. But I have to wait to get in the car and bring them to you." Albert reached out and touched Nia's head, but the girl turned her head away.
"Don't touch the lady's head, it's very impolite." Niya complained solemnlyHeber couldn't help laughing, and reached out to take Albert's luggage and asked: "Hogg How is Watts's life?"
"Not bad, I learned a lot of useful things." Albert said without hesitation.
"Welcome home." Daisy smiled and handed Tom to Albert.
"It's getting heavier," Albert said, weighing Tom's weight.
"A while ago, Tom stayed at his grandfather's house for a few days." Nia whispered, "You also know the character of Grandma Sansa."
Albert looked at his fat cat and sighed lightly. After getting into the car, Albert put Tom on his lap and combed his hair while muttering: "It's time to lose weight."
