Chapter 158： Fell into the pit

Albert has never seen the students of Gryffindor have such a unity, maybe everyone has been suppressed by Slytherin College for too long!

Now, everyone is working hard to earn points for the college, even if they can't earn points, try not to let themselves be the reason for deduction.

Most Gryffindor students will stop and take a few more glances when they pass the huge hourglass that records the score of the College Cup. Even the students of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff want to see Slytherin lose. College Cup.

The atmosphere in the castle has changed, it feels like wind and rain.

The tradition of Slytherin Academy is to win at any cost, which is why Slytherin can dominate the Quidditch Trophy and Academy Cup for a long time.

They will not give up easily.

The most direct change is that Snape’s class has become more serious and depressive. This potion professor always walks back and forth in class, and uses his stern look to force students who are not able to bear them to make mistakes. Everyone knows that. Nep is looking for a reason for the deduction.

The way to deal with the problem of Professor Potions is to admit your mistakes seriously, don't talk back, don't talk more, he won't be able to deduct more points.

Since Gryffindor won the Quidditch trophy last time, the smell of gunpowder with Slytherin College has grown stronger. Albert would not be surprised when the two sides suddenly fought.

However, for the Academy Cup, everyone still resists conflicts with each other and prevents Snape from finding any chance to deduct points.

Because once a fight, Gryffindor Academy's weak advantage will be taken away.

"They used to do this to Ravenclaw College." The president of the student union warned everyone in the Gryffindor common room, "If there is really any dissatisfaction, you can keep it until we get the College Cup. "

The conflict between the two sides was suppressed to a minimum. Everyone was gearing up privately, but they were still holding back for the Academy Cup. As long as they were not fools, they could smell the gunpowder between the two sides.

However, as the final exam approached, everyone's attention was distracted and the original smell of gunpowder faded.

As time goes by, many people have to immerse themselves in their studies in the sultry weather, and even have to rush to the library when there is no class to avoid finding a place when they are late.

However, since entering the end of May, Albert seldom goes to the library. He hates to crowd the library with everyone in the sultry weather.

In the sweltering weather, Albert missed sorbets, cold drinks and air conditioning.

"Don't you need to review?" Hagrid greeted him.

"I have exam secrets here." Albert shook his notes, which recorded the key points the professors had said in the class. He will look at it and recall the relevant content, thanks to his extraordinary memory.

Anyway, Albert doesn't worry about the exam at all.

"Exam secret?"

"Hagrid, do you know any magic to make ice or refrigerate?" Albert put the notebook back in his pocket and asked Hagrid about the magic to cool him down.

"I don't know, what are you going to do?" Hagrid shook his head. After the last incident, the relationship between the two parties returned to normal again, and both parties were in a tacit understanding and did not mention those things again.

"Of course it's to get yourself some cold drinks. This ghostly weather is too hot." Albert said naturally.

"Cold drink? Go, where do I go, I invite you to have a cold butterbeer. It's a celebration in advance that Gryffindor won the Academy Cup." Hagrid patted his head with a big hand and invited Albert to drink butterbeer there.

Hagrid's so-called cold butter beer was not much different from Albert's guess.

Hagrid threw an oak barrel containing butterbeer into the well, and when he picked it up and drank it, it felt good. Although it was not very ice, it was undoubtedly a treat in the hot summer.

After seeing the garlic in his garden, Hagrid suddenly asked, "I remember you seem to be growing garlic."

"It's growing well, it's about to be harvested."

Albert felt a little funny when he thought of this. He said that he would make a garlic cross, but what happened?

Over time, the group of people in the dormitory forgot about it.

Albert was not surprised. The patience of children has always been very limited. They can remember to water the garlic.

"By the way, Hagrid, can you help me get some alcohol?"

"What do you want alcohol for?" Hagrid asked puzzledly.

"Purify allicin."

"What's that?" Hagrid became even more confused after hearing this.

"Nothing, it's used to extract garlic... Allicin, you know, we are going to make a garlic-flavored amulet, so..." Albert briefly described to Hagrid the reason for planting garlic, "Well, situation That's it, some beeswax is needed."

"You know, vampires hate garlic, and many dark magic creatures also hate the smell of garlic, so we plan to use the protector tree and garlic to make a garlic-flavored amulet to see if we can have a clear expelling effect on dark creatures."

Hagrid was dumbfounded when he heard it, the garlic-flavored amulet, I really didn't think of it.

"This... If you want alcohol, I can help you ask. If Diagon Alley is not available, you can go to Knockdown Alley to try your luck."

"Knockdown Alley?" Albert asked tentatively.

"Turnover Alley is adjacent to Diagon Alley. It is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed. There are many black magic shops..." Hagrid suddenly realized something, looked at Albert with a serious face, and reminded: "No. Go to Knockoff Alley!"

"Okay, Hagrid, I actually knew about the existence of Knockover Alley long before I came to Hogwarts." Albert said, "The alcohol problem will trouble you."

With that, Albert was going to give Hagrid a few Gallons, but the latter did not take them.

Albert saw that Hagrid didn't want it. Hagrid shouldn't be short of money. Although the house looks a little shabby, there are indeed many valuable things in the Forbidden Forest.

It can only be said that Hagrid is used to life now.

...

After leaving Hagrid, Albert did not intend to return to the castle, but slowly down the **** to the lake, sitting under a tree to blow the wind.

Not far away, a large squid was lying in the warm shallow water basking in the sun.

"This is the summer for people to spend." Albert felt the cool breeze on the lake and couldn't help but sigh, "Unfortunately, there is no comfortable hammock."

I don't know how long it took, and there was footsteps not far away, and a figure reflected on his face.

Albert opened his sleepy eyes, blinked, and looked at the girl who was leaning forward and staring at him.

"Something?" he asked.

"You are quite leisurely." Katrina said sarcastically, looking at Albert who was sleeping under the shade of the tree, "Should I say that you are really a genius?"

"It's okay!" Albert replied casually: "Anyway, everything that should be reviewed has been reviewed, so it's useless to care about the exam questions. It's better to relax your mind and adjust your mind to deal with the next exam."

"Everyone is working hard to review, do you have the face to talk cold words here?" Katrina stared at Albert's face and suddenly said seriously, "I think if you were heard by those in the library When it gets there, they probably want to beat you up."

"I have practiced karate, they can't beat me."

"I heard you have exam secrets?" Katrina sat down beside her, feeling the cool breeze from the lake, and suddenly asked.

"Exam secrets?" Albert couldn't help but chuckle when he heard the words. It is estimated that the other party heard the conversation that he had just said with Hagrid.

"What are you laughing at?" Katrina frowned dissatisfied.

"Don't you want to read it too?" Albert took out a notebook from his pocket and shook it in front of Katrina.

"Can't it?" Katrina was indeed a little curious. She grabbed the notes and flipped through the contents, but she couldn't help but frowned. The notes all recorded the contents of the mandatory exams mentioned by the professors during class. There are only questions.

"How is it?" Albert asked back.

"Is this stuff?" Katrina suddenly felt that she was being teased by the other party.

"Otherwise, what do you think it is, as long as you understand the compulsory questions the professors get, you will definitely get a high score." Albert said naturally.

"I thought you wanted a perfect score." Katrina has lost interest in the so-called test secret.

“I’ve never specifically pursued that thing about what to do with full marks. It’s enough to get a good show.” Albert doesn’t care about full marks, anyway, the school is divided according to excellent, good... In terms of grades, the full score on the test is not an excellent one. Since they are all excellent, why bother so entangled.

Katrina suddenly felt a little angry, and the guy in front of her didn't consider herself a competitor at all.

"What's the matter with you?" Albert felt that the girl in front of him had something wrong.

"Would you like to compare me with someone with a better final grade?" Katrina suggested.

"No." Albert simply refused.

Although there is a task of complete crushing, he still does not want to entangle the opponent in this regard.

"Why?" Katrina asked, "Are you scared?"

"There is no why." Albert completely ignored the other's aggressive generals, "I just feel more tired than this."

"Tired?" Katrina felt that he couldn't understand Albert's thinking at all, and he would actually reject him for this reason.

"If you want to bet..." Albert thought for a while, and after secretly changing the concept, he was ready to dig a hole for the other party, "Or, let's gamble in another way!"

"What kind of gambling?" Katrina asked immediately.

"You need to answer riddles when you enter the Ravenclaw common room, right." Albert said with a smile. "If you can answer a hundred riddles, even if you win, I admit that you are better than me..."

"Answer a hundred riddles?" Katrina's voice raised her voice. She looked up and down Albert, seeming to wonder if the other party was deliberately entertaining herself.

"Why didn't you answer a hundred riddles correctly?"

"Of course." Albert seduced, "If you win, I will give you a gift of around 10 gallons as a prize."

"Are you rich?" Katrina asked Albert suspiciously.

"Yes, last time I bet on who would be the Minister of Magic, I won a hundred gallons." Albert almost patted his chest to make sure. In fact, Albert doesn't mind spending some money on the Eagle Ring Riddle. The problem that can be solved with Garon is not a problem at all.

Katrina was silent for a moment. She found that the guy in front of her seemed surprisingly rich, with 10 gallons per mouth?

"How about it, gambling?" Albert asked with a smile.

"Your smile is hypocritical." Katrina asked, "what if I lose?"

"If you fail, you can continue to challenge." Albert continued, "I don't want you to do anything anyway. Of course, there is a premise that you don't come and compare with me during this period."

"Do you really give prizes?" Katrina asked again.

"You can find a notary, the ghost of your college, or I can find Nick who is almost headless." Albert added, "Of course, when you challenge Eagle Ring, you need me to be there. You got it right. A hundred riddles can be counted as winning."

"Could it be a dung bullet?" Katrina looked at Albert suspiciously.

"Then I will give you 10 gallons directly and admit that you are better than me."

"Of course I am better than you. I don't think you can answer 100 riddles." Katrina said suddenly, "If you can answer 10 riddles, even if you win, I will give you a gift. Of course, I'm not as rich as you. But you can only try it once, and you must be before me."

"Okay, I agree." Albert had just responded to this matter, but the next sentence became, "I gave up, I guess I can't answer any of them."

"No," Katrina said seriously, "You have to try, I don't believe you can't answer a single one."

"Okay, okay," Albert said perfunctorily.

"We're going to find Ms. Gray now." Katrina took Albert to the west side of Hogwarts Castle and found the Ms. Gray at the end of a corridor.

Katrina briefed the lady about the situation and asked her to act as the notary for this bet.

Ms. Gray agreed, which is undoubtedly an interesting thing in her opinion.

Even Ravenclaw students rarely answer 100 riddles in a row. As for non-Ravenclaw students, it is even more difficult to answer 10 puzzles in a row.

"Are you going to start now?" Ms. Gray asked. UU reading

"No, I think Miss McDoug should be given more time to prepare. You can wait until the exam is over or the next semester." Albert is not in a hurry. He needs Katrina to provide himself with questions and answers. Be prepared. Otherwise, it would be meaningless if Miss McDoug had a few questions.

As for the outcome?

Albert didn't care at all.

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to give his wit a compliment.

Yes, this method is really good.

Simple, easy, and convenient to fix the Eagle Ring problem.

Katrina didn't want Albert to calculate in her heart, and walked away happily. She was going to defeat Albert in this block and win 10 gallons.

However, before that, you still need to practice well, and Katrina is absolutely not allowed to fail.
