Albert wasn't planning to go home for the holidays, which upset Nia. She put a picture of Tom staring at her with a big, dirty face in the Easter egg package to express her dissatisfaction.

Fred and George's Easter was even worse than Albert's. Percy told Mrs. Weasley about their plan to send Ron a bunch of spiders as a birthday present.

This resulted in them getting a severe scolding in the letter, and even their Easter eggs were severely reduced in size. They were only the size of eggs, containing just a homemade toffee.

Fred and George picked up their toffee, their faces instantly turning long, and they gritted their teeth, saying, "That bastard Percy actually betrayed us!"

"Who told you guys to always be trying to cause trouble!" Lee Jordan had a gloating smile on his face. However, his joy didn't last long, because he didn't get any Easter egg this year.

Lee Jordan's family went on vacation before the Easter holidays and only sent him a few photos taken during their trip.

He suddenly felt unwell and almost squatted down in the corner to draw circles in frustration.

Fred and George didn't laugh for long either; looking at their Easter egg, they were equally annoyed.

Albert was very generous and shared the Easter eggs with his roommates. Food is definitely more fun when shared.

Instead of going to the library, the group could eat and do their holiday homework at the same time. Several girls from the same year sat nearby, exchanging and tasting each other's Easter egg and chatting about recent interesting events.

The reason everyone is so relaxed now is thanks to completing a lot of homework ahead of time.

Others don't have such a leisurely Easter holiday; the holiday isn't really a time for relaxation.

"This is supposed to be a holiday? What on earth are they doing?!"

A third-year student finally snapped and started yelling in the Common Room, looking like he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and he wasn't the only one.

Percy Weasley wasn't doing well either. He had Twelve courses holiday assignments, a heavy workload that left him breathless and on edge all day. Plus, Fred and George were causing him trouble and adding to his worries.

He had to stay in the library to do his holiday homework to avoid being disturbed by the Twins.

"What are you talking about?" Albert came down from the dormitory and asked curiously, looking at the girls who were laughing and joking.

"We were discussing what to do with the money after we win the Wizard Card Championship," Angelina said, blinking.

"Are you guys that confident?" Albert was speechless. They actually set a goal for themselves. Were they afraid that they couldn't lose the game?

"Why are you spending money to organize this competition?" Shanna was even more Albert as to why Albert would pay for the competition out of his own pocket.

"This is an investment, and by the way, it promotes Wizard Card. I think I can recoup my investment and make a fortune," Albert said. "If I don't have a job I like after leaving Hogwarts, I can focus on this."

"That's a good idea, you don't need any Galleon anyway." Shanna admired Albert's idea; it was very visionary. Perhaps in a few years, The Wizard Card would really become a game loved by everyone, and it could actually make money.

Moreover, playing Wizard Card is indeed a fun pastime, and their relationship improved as they occasionally played together.

The door to the Common Room opened, and Fred and George slipped in, each holding an Easter egg and looking as proud as if they had just won Quidditch Match.

"Percy's Easter egg!" Fred proudly handed out toffee to everyone. "That guy compromised. Since he caused our Easter egg to shrink so much, he'll make up for it with his share."

"Oh, right, Katrina asked me to give this to you." George took a piece of parchment out of his pocket and handed it to Albert.

"I think it might be a love letter."

The girls all pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.

"What's going on in your head?" Albert couldn't help but roll his eyes at this.

The letter was given to him by Katrina, asking him to go to Professor Smith's office.

Albert figured that Professor Smith must have something to ask him and had Katrina deliver a letter to him; this wasn't the first time something like this had happened.

When he knocked and went in, he saw that it was Katrina who opened the door.

"What does Professor Smith want with me?" Albert had barely opened his mouth when he heard Professor Smith's voice in his ear.

"Out of Body!"

Suddenly, a wonderful feeling enveloped his entire body. Albert felt light as a feather, and all the thoughts and worries in his mind were swept away, leaving only a hazy, intangible joy.

He stood there, feeling particularly relaxed and carefree, his consciousness becoming increasingly blurred.

Then he heard Professor Smith's voice echo in his empty head: Give me your wand.

Albert instinctively pulled his wand from his pocket and handed it to the other person.

His consciousness was hazy, as if he had realized something unpleasant.

"Go and fetch me the map of Gryffindor's Secret Treasure," Professor Smith said again.

Albert silently turned and headed toward his Gryffindor dormitory.

As he turned the corner of the corridor, he felt a light tap on his head, and the hollow feeling in his mind subsided somewhat.

Albert suddenly froze on the spot, his body trembling slightly. He was trying to resist the Imperius Curse, and the feeling of disharmony caused him to fall to the ground.

When Albert got up, his face was extremely gloomy; the Imperius Curse that Smith had used on him had completely lost its effect.

He still remembered exactly what had just happened, and his face grew even more somber.

Albert never imagined that Smith would use the Imperius Curse on him at school.

Has he gone mad?

What exactly are they trying to do? And that idiot Katrina, she's probably already under the influence of the Imperius Curse.

Albert was able to resist the Imperius Curse mainly because he had lived two lives, his will was still quite strong, and his own Magical Power was very strong.

Katrina was clearly not herself and had no chance of escaping the Imperius Curse. Moreover, if she had tried to break free of the Imperius Curse just now, it would only have made Smith more wary of her and allowed him to control her with an even stronger Imperius Curse.

Is it bad luck or bad luck? After breaking the Imperius Curse, Albert walked back to his dormitory, pondering how to deal with the current situation.

Should we report this to Dumbledore? Or... should we handle it ourselves?

His wand was taken away by the other party. That guy probably thought he was powerless without his wand.

Hmph! Albert had anticipated Smith's moves several times over.

If that's the case... then...
