Catch Him Off Guard

"French fries, tomato flavor, would you like one?"

Lee Jordan stuffed a French fry with Tomato Sauce into his mouth, and didn't forget to recommend the hot fried food on the table to Albert.

"No, eating too much greasy food is bad for your health and can easily lead to weight gain."

Albert took a big gulp of milk, then finished off the fried egg on his plate, along with two slices of toast covered in Blueberry Jam.

"Don't scare them," Shanna grumbled, but she also pulled her hand back from the French fries. Every girl is afraid of getting fat and ugly.

"What are your plans for the holiday?" Angelina sat down next to Shanna, raised her hand to greet Albert across the table, picked up a slice of toast, and began to spread jam on it.

During holidays, it's more conducive to studying together, as the atmosphere is more conducive and efficiency is higher.

"Let me find it... Oh, here it is!"

Albert opened his bag, rummaged through it, took out a piece of parchment from a notebook, used magic to make a copy, and handed it to Angelina across the table.

Several girls curiously gathered around, wanting to see Albert's holiday plans.

"Less than expected."

Shanna wasn't too surprised, since a genius like Albert doesn't really need to spend too much time studying.

"As long as efficiency can be improved, that's enough. Otherwise, spending more time will only make you tired," Albert said seriously.

As for how credible his words are, that remains to be seen.

"This plan is pretty good. Remember to lend me your notes later so I can make a copy." Fred was quite satisfied with the schedule, and most of the time was spent doing homework.

"Two hours of review isn't enough," Shanna said, shaking her head.

Just then, a large flock of owls rushed into the hall, and several of them Accio towards Albert in a rush. They crowded onto the table and knocked over a jar of jam next to it.

Albert saw a white owl stick its head into George's bowl and peck at the oatmeal porridge inside.

"What a mess!"

After the owls dropped their envelopes and packages and flew away, Albert's desk was a mess.

Fortunately, he was almost finished eating, and the last small piece of toast was in his hand.

"You're as busy as ever!" Fred said with a smile as he put his plate back on the table, while George next to him was considering how to deal with the bowl of oatmeal in front of him.

Albert picked up his letters and packages: three thick envelopes, a note, two packages, a rolled-up purple invitation, and today's Daily Prophet.

Albert opened the note and read its contents. It was written by Hagrid, who told Albert that he was going to try his luck at the Hog's Head Pub tonight.

Previously, Albert had told Hagrid that if he was going to the Hog's Head Pub, he should write to him so that he could make another Prophecy for him.

Of course, the so-called Prophecy is just an excuse.

Albert planned to sneak away from Hogwarts when Quirrell was not there to figure out the mechanism of the Philosopher's Stone.

He himself wasn't very interested in the dangerous task of fighting bosses, so the best option was to wait until the boss was gone and then sneak into the enemy base himself.

Albert took a piece of parchment out of his bag, wrote a note, and asked Shera to take it to Hagrid, indicating that he would visit him in the afternoon.

As for the three thick letters, they were from three old friends. One of the packages was from Albert's mail order, and the other was from home. When opened, they indeed contained this year's Easter egg.

"Your Easter egg came really early this year, even though Easter hasn't even started yet!" Lee Jordan couldn't help but complain as he stared at the Easter egg in the package.

Albert ignored Lee Jordan's complaints, took a letter from the package, and quickly read it. The letter was from Daisy, who had sent it in advance because the family was planning to visit her grandfather for Easter, and Shera happened to be there.

Nia's letter was also included, in which she complained to him about how boring school life was, and attached a report card to show that she hadn't been lazy and had done well on the quizzes.

This was specially sent by Albert through Nia, to show that he values her studies.

Of course, if a girl doesn't do well in school, she won't receive satisfactory birthday and Christmas gifts.

Albert put everything into the Transfiguration Lizard's belt, silently opened the newspaper, and began reading today's Daily Prophet.

After everyone else had finished eating, he invited them to go to the library to study together.

Albert's notes have always been popular because he always marks out the important content, so when reviewing, you just need to memorize the highlighted parts.

As long as you don't slack off, the review efficiency is actually very high, everyone is very satisfied, and there is no worry about the Final Exam in a few weeks.

In the afternoon, Albert went to see Hagrid alone, making sure to tell his roommate about their plans for the evening.

"Don't make a fuss. Prepare yourself first, and we'll make the final decision after I get back from Hagrid."

The three looked at each other, puzzled as to what Albert was up to. They were even more baffled by his mysterious behavior, but none of them had any objections.

Anyway, Albert's plans always have their reasons, so just trust him. After all, Albert is as reliable as ever.

Hagrid's decision to act ahead of schedule is actually a good thing for Albert, as Morg invites him to Easter feast, which he can't very well refuse!

"You're here! Come in quickly!"

Hagrid opened the wooden door and warmly invited Albert inside. For some reason, Hagrid kept staring at Albert.

"What's wrong."

"You didn't bring your crystal ball?" Hagrid couldn't help but ask.

"It's here."

Albert tidied the table, told Hagrid to keep an eye on Fang, and then took a crystal ball from the Transfiguration Lizard Skin Bag and placed it on the table.

He began to concentrate, staring at the crystal ball to make Prophecy. Just as he saw a dragon egg being handed to a rough hand, an excited scream suddenly rang out in the room, startling Albert so much that he stood up on the spot and almost knocked over the crystal ball.

"It's a dragon egg, no doubt about it. I can't tell the difference. It's definitely a dragon egg," Hagrid said excitedly, pointing at the crystal ball.

"Shut up, Hagrid," Albert snapped angrily.

Hagrid didn't seem to care and continued to ask, "And then what? Why did it end there?"

Albert stared speechlessly at Hagrid's delighted face, then looked at his own crystal ball, then at Hagrid, quite surprised that Hagrid could see the contents of the crystal ball.

Could it be that my Crystal Ball Divination has taken another step forward?

"What did you just see?" Albert asked directly.

Is something wrong?

"My Divination abilities aren't very strong. Usually, only I can see the contents of the crystal ball." Albert looked at Hagrid with a strange expression.

"One hand handed a dragon egg to another large hand, and I'm sure that large hand was mine."

At that moment, Hagrid was so excited he wanted to dance.

Albert looked at Hagrid suspiciously, and couldn't help but mutter, "Could it be that my Divination abilities have really become stronger?"

"What did you say?"

"It seems you might get that dragon egg this time, but you'd better act normal and not be too hasty. To be honest, the way you are now might mess things up. The Divination results don't represent the future," Albert reminded him. "Otherwise, don't blame me when you mess things up."
