October at Hogwarts is always spent in strong winds and heavy rains. The damp cold air sweeps in from the wind and rain and permeates the entire castle.

A cold suddenly caught on among the staff and students. Especially in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, several students always had symptoms of severe high fever every day, and the number tended to increase sharply.

Umbridge suspected that someone was at work, and ordered the head nurse, Madam Pomfrey, to find a way to cure the students' strange fever symptoms. However, she had little success because the symptoms seemed elusive and there was a possibility of recurrence even if they were cured.

For this reason, Fred and George's fever candies were sold well, and they received a large sum of galleons. They were happy every day, as if they were celebrating a festival. They had obviously enjoyed the fun of making money and getting rich.

In this humid environment, the fireplace in the common room has become a popular location, and it has also become the most crowded area. Many students like to stay by the fireplace to warm up, chat, and do homework.

Albert used to like to stay there and warm himself by the fire, but now he is more casual.

At this moment, he was sitting near the window in the common room. Although the heavy curtains blocked the moisture outside, this place was still outside the range of heat radiation from the fireplace. Few students would come here, but Albert didn't care.

, because he brought a small heater, which could save him from the cold and dampness in the corner, making him as warm as staying by the fireplace, and no one would bother him.

Tom was lying on the soft cushion, staring at Albert who was writing something with a quill. After opening his mouth and yawning, he lay on the soft cushion again and continued to rest.

After hearing the footsteps of someone approaching, Tom opened his eyes and looked at the wet human being in front of him with slight disgust.

"Is something wrong?"

Albert put down his quill, took a sip of hot milk tea and asked.

"Can you teach me Occlumency?" Harry said straight to the point.

This was Sirius' advice to Harry. Black thought that since Albert thought it would be best for Harry to learn Occlumency, it would be best to take the time to learn it. There is no harm in it. Albert always made very good predictions in some aspects.

That's right, basically he wouldn't go out of his way to trick Harry.

"I can't teach you. If you want to learn Occlumency, you have to find Professor Dumbledore." Albert stretched out his hand and scratched Tom's chin and said calmly, "If you can't find Professor Dumbledore, just go to Professor Dumbledore."

Ask Blake to write a letter to the principal for you."

In fact, Fred, George and Lee Jordan all learned Occlumency from Albert, but none of them learned it, so Albert had no intention of teaching Harry Occlumency, which was a thankless task.

thing, and being in contact with Harry Potter for a long time is not a good thing.

"Sirius said he wanted to talk to you about something."

"Forget it!" Albert refused directly.

Harry did not continue to struggle. Albert said that he could not teach him. He probably did not intend to teach him, or thought that he could not teach him.

"What if I want to teach myself?" Harry asked again.

"There is a copy of "Advanced Occlumency Guide" in the restricted book area." Albert reminded.

"Thanks."

Harry dragged his wet body away and prepared to take a hot bath first.

Albert continued to write his potions thesis. Since entering seventh grade, he basically stopped doing homework. Writing the thesis was also very casual, and no professor would complain about it.

Well, except Snape!

The Potions Professor was very dissatisfied with Albert's practice of not teaching homework, and once threatened Albert with confinement if he did not hand in his homework. Finally, after Dumbledore's "friendly" communication, Snape

We can only turn a blind eye instead of letting Albert get out of here.

Of course, the only person with this privilege is Albert.

After Umbridge learned this "good news" from the Slytherin students, she wanted to make a big fuss about it.

Unfortunately, Albert spent some time manually convincing the other party.

"I hate rain."

"Angelina is definitely possessed by Wood."

Fred and George had just returned from the Quidditch field. Unlike Potter, the water stains on their bodies had been evaporated by spells, and most of the remaining soil had been cleaned away by spells. They didn't look like Harry.

So embarrassed.

"I thought you stopped doing your homework."

Fred took a few biscuits from the plate, put them in his mouth and ate them. They hadn't eaten dinner yet, and their stomachs were already hungry.

"this is not."

"Not what?"

George also ate the biscuits, conjured a teacup, and poured himself a cup of steaming milk tea.

"Research and improvement of Felixir." Albert said without thinking.

Of course, this is actually an excuse. Albert has already upgraded the elixir to level three through the panel. By the way, he compared it with the notes Hutok gave him and copied down the knowledge in the panel skills.

If it were not for the limitation of skill points and experience, Albert would like to upgrade the Elixir to Level 4, or even higher. Perhaps the side effects of the Elixir would be greatly reduced, or even directly turned into a product with a lot of

A potion with a strong beneficial effect, not a so-called lucky potion.

Although Albert did have a lot of experience and skill points, he did not dare to squander it casually, but left enough preparations for himself. Albert had a hunch that once Voldemort was solved, he would like to continue to gain a lot of experience in the future.

With skill points it will become extremely difficult.

No, it should be said that after leaving Hogwarts, it will become difficult to trigger and complete tasks.

Of course, Albert didn't have any good intentions when he wrote this down and sent it to Hertok. He believed that his old friend would definitely be interested in the improvement of the Fuling Elixir, and then they could use it to study the Fuling Elixir together.

On the pretext of investing some galleons to sponsor the improvement and research of the Felixir, you can get some Felixir from the other party for free.

To be honest, Albert didn't have much confidence in whether he could successfully brew the Felixir Potion in one go, especially since the potion was brewed by two people together, so the probability of failure was even greater.

Thinking of the dangers he might need to face in the future, Albert felt that he should reserve some blessing elixirs for himself to provide peace of mind.

"You finally plan to brew the elixir of fortune!"

Fred and George looked very happy. They were also very interested in this magical potion. At least the magical candies made by Felixir would definitely sell for a high price.

Albert was amused by the idea of ​​Fred and George.

There are actually very few potions masters who are really good at elixirs, because the cost of trial and error is too high.

Once it fails, the price paid is too high.

Whether it's time or money lost.

Therefore, very few people will cook the elixir, and even if they successfully cook it, they will rarely sell it. The price of the elixir on the market is simply a joke, because it is impossible to buy it from the beginning.

"Have you seen the latest education order?"

Just when George and Fred destroyed most of the biscuits on Albert's plate and were about to take a hot bath, Lee Jordan hurried into the common room and told Fred, George and Albert

explain.

"The new education order, what weird policies have been introduced by Toad?" Fred and George looked at the panting Li Jordan, raised their eyebrows and asked, "How can it make you so excited?"

After Li Qiaodan took a few seconds to calm down, he said loudly, "Anyone who forms or participates in any organization, association, team or club without the approval of the senior investigator will be immediately expelled."

The three of them looked at each other and were silent for a while.

"This thing is weird." George lowered his voice and said, "Did Toad get wind of something?"

"It's normal." Albert was very calm, but he didn't think there was anything surprising. "This kind of thing is just a matter of time. Maybe she will tell Fudge that she successfully prevented Dumbledore from organizing an army."

"Do you think she really believes that ridiculous rumor?" George thought this was ridiculous.

"Is this kind of thing important?" Albert asked.

"Isn't it important?" Li Qiaodan was a little confused.

"It's not important, it's just an excuse at most, and I don't think she needs an excuse." George shook his head and said.

"Toad has a strong desire to control. I think that guy is a pervert." Fred muttered.

"The Quidditch team is included, and Angelina is about to cry." Li Jordan reminded, "She is very worried that Umbridge will not let Gryffindor reorganize the team."

While they were talking, the three girls in the team had returned to the common room, cursing Umbridge.

When Angelina saw the latest education order, she went directly to Umbridge, and the result was predictable.

"How was it?" Fred asked.

"Umbridge said that she needs a written application. It seems that she does not intend to reorganize the Gryffindor Quidditch team." Angelina looked a little angry.

"There's something wrong with your idea." Albert suddenly said.

"What?"

"The toad really doesn't want the Gryffindor team to reorganize. It's actually normal for her to suppress the Gryffindor team." Albert said calmly.

"Then what should I do?" Angelina asked with wide eyes, "Should I ask Professor McGonagall?"

"Even if you ask Professor McGonagall, Umbridge will probably not agree. In the end, Professor Dumbledore will probably have to come forward to solve the problem." Albert knew Umbridge's tricks very well. That woman is in the system.

Having stayed in the system for decades, he is very good at using the tricks of the system, and people in the system always like to use this trick.

"That is not bad."

Hearing what Albert said, Angelina couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as long as the Quidditch team could continue.

For Angelina, who plans to join a team after graduation, Quidditch is almost everything to her.

"What can you do even if you barely pass?" Albert asked, "Do you really think that the toad will let it go?"
