Chapter 692： Benefits are motivation

The rain pounded on the window glass.

Fred opened the curtain and looked out the window, feeling that his mood was as unbeautiful as the weather outside.

Since facing the pressure of the .Ls exam, everyone's life hasn't been very good...Well, Albert's **** is a special case, regardless of whether the exam is required or not, the guy has been living very well.

It's not like they not only have a lot of homework to do every day, but also need to spend a lot of time to practice magic.

Ugh!

The gap between people is really bigger than the gap between people and dogs.

Fred felt that Albert's words always made sense.

hateful!

He had to concentrate and finish the homework on the table before going to bed.

I really don't want to do homework!

"what is this?"

Fred withdrew his gaze from the window, stared at the parchment on the table for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking.

"Safe house."

"Safe house, what is that?"

George also leaned in and looked at the parchment with Fred. They can understand the floor plan of the house and the spells on it, but they are still at a loss.

"You can think of it as a safe hiding place." Albert said in a low voice, "I am looking for more ways to hide a house better, just like the one on the eighth floor. It’s hard to get in to its location, but it’s not easy. Once the specific location is known, wizards have many ways to find it."

"Honesty detector, or black magic detector?" George said without hesitation.

"Yes, so this kind of place, the most important thing is actually concealment. Then, use spells to make it impossible to track, and cannot be marked on the map. Any tracking spell, including owls, cannot find its specific location. There needs to be strong magical protection, to ensure that the wizard who enters needs a special method to enter. As long as you hide inside, you don't have to worry about being found by the enemy."

"Well, it's the so-called secret base, right!"

The two used limited thinking to come to this conclusion.

In fact, the Gryffindor secret room they visited last time was such a place.

"I think according to your approach, with a place where the birds don't shit, you don't have to worry about being found by others." Fred felt that Albert was thinking too much.

Yup!

As long as it is not exposed, who will go to a place where the birds do not **** and find some secret base.

"You will discover later that this is still far from safe."

Since the basilisk crisis was lifted, Albert began to prepare for the Second Wizarding War.

He had never expected to kill Voldemort directly in the cradle.

The resurrection will definitely be resurrected.

When the time comes, find a safe place to stay, just wait to lie down and get the benefits.

Albert will definitely participate in the Triwizard Tournament next year. He is sure that the rewards for the tasks from the Triwizard Tournament will be very rich. It is impossible to give up, and there is no danger during the period.

Little Crouch disguised as a crazy-eyed man?

Albert is not worried at all, he has a way to arrange little Crouch.

As for Voldemort’s resurrection, Albert is even less worried. As the final boss, even without the help of Pettigrew Peter and Barty Crouch Jr., Voldemort will definitely be able to incarnate the Nose Monster, from the hot cauldron. Climb out.

This is Albert's confidence in the big boss.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering if the golden cauldron of the Magic School Potions Championship is gilded." Albert mumbled, "I don't know if there is a bonus for winning the championship."

"I think it should probably be gilded." George said uncertainly. "This kind of award is usually stingy, so just give it a title."

"Did your last international wizard chess championship trophy be gold-plated?" Fred asked curiously.

"I'm sure it is, otherwise Albert won't complain about whether the gold crucible is gilded or not." George couldn't help rolling his eyes. "As long as the prize is given, the trophy must be gilded."

The corners of Albert's eyes twitched. He just said casually, and the two of them kept talking. Is this to find a reason for not wanting to do homework?

Just when Fred and George complained about how many prizes in the prize showroom were not gilded, Lee Jordan finally got downstairs.

"What are you doing in the dormitory? Are you looking for a book for so long?"

"No, you'd better go back to the dormitory. Didn't Albert say that he didn't receive his birthday gifts in the morning? I don't know who sent those gifts to the room." Lee Jordan motioned to the three of them to return to the dormitory.

The three of them looked at each other and hurried back to the dormitory after finishing their homework.

"Wow, this number is really amazing! Others don't know, they thought you had Christmas ahead of schedule." As soon as Fred opened the door, he saw the pile of gifts on the ground and couldn't help sighing.

"Don't be silly, there are still several months before the Christmas holiday." Albert was also a little surprised, never thought that he would receive a bunch of birthday presents.

He picked up the package at random, looked at the sender, and found that it was a gift from an old friend.

Ever since he had a house-elf, Albert has asked the house-elf to give his older friends some Christmas gifts such as woolen socks, woolen gloves or woolen hats every year. He knows that old people don’t lack anything, but The significance of giving these woolen products is obviously more flattering.

Of course, many of the packages inside are gifts from friends in school.

"You make so many friends."

Fred and George looked at each other and asked expectantly, "Do you need us to unpack the package for you?"

"You help me test it with an honesty detector." Albert pointed to his drawer, "check it before opening the package."

"You are really cautious." Fred muttered and opened the drawer to find the metal rod inside.

"I bet that half of it is books." George took the honesty detector and began to detect whether the package was enchanted or there were magical items.

In fact, what George said is right. Most people like to send books to Albert. They all know that Albert likes to read books. Obviously there is nothing more appropriate than sending this stuff, and the price is not expensive. It's still high.

After a while, the table was full of books.

"I think you can open a library by yourself in a few years." Lee Jordan looked at the pile of books, unable to suppress his desire to complain.

"I think so too. When the books I received before add up, there is already a bookshelf." Albert took out a small box from the suitcase. After opening it was a miniature bookcase with densely packed books on the shelf. .

In fact, George also gave him a copy of "The Witch's Potions" after learning that Albert was going to participate in the Potions Championship.

Fred's gift is a small box of magical candies, all made by them, and they also indicate which ones have not yet been tested.

Lee Jordan's gift was really a big box of Bibi Duo beans.

Then, the guy unceremoniously took apart the box of Bibi Duo beans and shared them with the three of them.

Hermione’s gift was a beautiful feather pen.

Isabel's is a gray scarf without a pattern, which is quite delicate, but a bit short, and must have been knitted by herself.

Katrina actually sent a copy of "Alchemy, Ancient Art and Science", and in the letter she said it was a gift in return for that hat, a very arrogant girl.

What surprised Albert the most was the gift from the United States. Catherine seemed to know that he was going to participate in the Potions Championship and sent him a potion book of "Potions".

As for Daisy and Herb’s presents, they were brick-and-mortar foreign dictionaries. Well, it was the language that Daisy and Herb were learning recently. It was said that it took a lot of effort to get them.

Daisy also mentioned in the letter that Herb planned to visit the colony.

There are not many relatives willing to join in. Most people have no confidence in transnational investment. What's more, in a few years, the country will lose control of the colony. God knows whether it will be beaten and retaliated by the colonial thugs. Taking a risk, except for Uncle Charlie, he was listening to Daisy saying that it was Albert's suggestion. After thinking about it, he found that it made sense, so he invested some pounds in it to show his support for Daisy.

After all, Charlie's current achievements are also inseparable from Albert's advice. Moreover, he also felt that Albert was very promising, and he had a vicious vision, and he would certainly not lose money. Otherwise, how could he persuade Herb to fly over half of the world to inspect the colony? It would not be crazy.

"Do you believe it?" Albert couldn't help but sigh with the power of money.

Next, let the family temporarily leave the UK and live in the colony for a period of time should be no problem.
