Intelligence Candy

The day before Easter happened to fall on a saturday, so the Hogwarts students were lucky enough to welcome the Easter holiday early.

To celebrate the early arrival of the Easter holiday, many students had chosen to stay up all night partying last night.

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were three of them.

The three of them had played Wizard Cards in their dormitory.

Later, they had been chased off to fool around in the Room of Requirement, only returning at five in the morning—and waking Albert in the process.

Having just woken from his second sleep, Albert covered a yawn with one hand and lazily stretched his arms. He picked up the pocket watch beside his bedside table and checked the time: 7:42.

"There's still plenty of time."

Albert had plans with Isobel that morning. They intended to visit Hogsmeade together and deal with the house they had renovated some time ago.

It would be important over the next few years, serving as Albert's base of operations.

Moreover, it held unique significance for both him and Isobel.

Come to think of it, it was Easter again.

Ever since coming to Hogwarts, something seemed to go wrong every Easter. Hopefully not this year...

Albert stopped letting his imagination run wild and shifted his gaze toward the cat bed, forcibly distracting himself to avoid jinxing things.

"Good morning, Tom."

Fat Cat Tom was already awake, though he was still sprawled lazily in his bed, his tail gently swishing. He seemed to be in a fairly good mood.

Albert pushed open the window, letting the breeze flow into the dormitory.

The weather outside was still rather dreadful. The sky was gray, and there was morning mist when he got up. Albert suspected that the horrible weather had been affected by the Dementors.
