Hogwarts has won many trophies.
Albert also found the trophies for the Triwizard Tournament in the trophy room. The trophy for the International Wizard's Chess Competition, the gold cauldron for the Magical School Potions Championship, the creative medal for the Cairo International Alchemy Competition and of course, Voldemort... that is, the special contribution award for Tom Riddle, can also be found here.
"I wish I could get a trophy to put here too." Lee Jordan looked at the trophies in the counter with envy and admiration.
"I think Albert might have a chance, but you... just forget it!" The twins appeared behind Lee, one putting a hand on his shoulder and the other smiling and comforting him.
"No one can say what will happen in the future." Albert casually comforted him. "Maybe you can get a trophy or something to put here. That special contribution award is very simple. Just talk to Dumbledore and donate 5000 to 10000 galleons to the school, and he will definitely get you one."
The three of them couldn't help but flinch at the mention of 5000 or 10000 galleons. Why could you say such a thing so easily?
That's galleons!
The twins didn't have a single Galleon in their pockets, and they even doubted whether their family's assets together were worth that much.
Lee Jordan broke free from the twins' hands and asked in return, "Don't you want to…"
"Actually, I'm more curious about how much prize money I can get. As for other things, they're all empty to me." Albert shook his head and interrupted the other person.
He valued gold coins more than glory. Money was much more of a real thing.
Especially in his last life, there was a saying that money makes things easier, and another saying that money makes you confident…
"Don't look at me like that. I'm just being realistic." Albert coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject. "Let's go to the fifth floor. I have a hunch that the library is probably on the fifth floor."
"You're right. Money is a good thing. I hate being poor." The twins looked at each other and did not deny Albert's words.
It should be said that no one likes poverty.
The Weasley Brothers, who came from a poor family, could understand this even more.
The four of them pushed and shoved their way to the fifth floor and were able to find the library, but at this point in time, the library was not yet open.
"Let's look around first." Albert suggested. This was a very wise choice, because the four of them really did find the entrance to a secret passage, behind a suspicious mirror that was as tall as a person.
"What are you doing here?"
As they were checking the entrance, Snape appeared silently behind them.
"We're looking for a shortcut, Professor." said Albert, not paying much attention to the gloomy look on the other's face. He knew exactly who the guy was.
"Shortcut." Snape stared at Albert's eyes, but Albert turned his head away.
As everyone knows, the easiest way to avoid Legilimency is to avoid making eye contact.
"Oh, there it is!" The mirror suddenly slid down to reveal a gap.
Snape frowned at this and seemed to be about to say something, but was interrupted by Albert.
"By the way, Professor, can you let me take a photo?" Albert asked, holding up his camera.
Not only Snape, but also George and the other two were frozen in place, looking a little strange.
Snape stared at Albert expressionlessly, but the latter kept smiling, completely ignoring Snape's death stare.
"Sir, is that not allowed?" Albert asked again.
"If you have time to hang around..."
"No, sir, we're not hanging around here." Albert said seriously, "We're just trying to figure out the layout of the castle's classrooms as quickly as possible. After all, Hogwarts doesn't give us a map, does it? The shortcut to the castle can also avoid new students from being late by accident."
Even Snape couldn't say what he had wanted to say, and the three people next to him were stunned.
Why, can you say this so confidently?
However, it does make sense.
Hogwarts castle is indeed like a maze. If the school doesn't give us a map, are we not allowed to come out and get familiar with the layout of the castle?
Snape's lips quivered slightly, and he stared coldly at Albert, "If you have time, why don't you read 'Magical Drafts and Potions' a few more times? Next time I'll ask you a question first. Now get out of my sight immediately."
"Then, see you on Friday, Professor." Albert waved cheerfully, pushed the three people next to him, and disappeared around the corner at the end of the corridor.
"Wow, you actually wanted to take a picture of Snape."
"You actually dared to confront him head-on." The twins simultaneously gave Albert a thumbs-up and couldn't help but laugh. "Don't you know? He's famous for…"
"I didn't confront him. I was just telling the truth." Albert didn't admit it at all. How could he confront Snape? He was just telling the truth.
"Yes, it's the truth." George nodded repeatedly. Even the three of them had to admit that it was true.
So Snape couldn't do anything to him.
"By the way, what did you say Snape was famous for?" Albert asked, changing the subject.
"...famous for being unreasonable." George couldn't help laughing. "But his expression was really funny."
"Where does that passage lead to?" Lee Jordan was even more curious about this question.
"I don't know. I'll go and have a look in the afternoon when I'm free!" Albert noticed that a new quest had appeared on his panel:
Expert at getting into trouble.
Snape is one of the most unpopular professors Hogwarts has ever had. You've already managed to annoy him once. Why not continue this feat?
Completed 1/5
Reward: 2000 experience points
He really is an expert at getting into trouble!
"Oh, by the way, what are you going to do?" Fred suddenly asked.
"What do you mean?" Albert asked in confusion. "Do about what?"
"Just ask one question!" Lee Jordan reminded him. "Didn't Snape say that you would be asked questions in the first lesson?"
"It's fine, let him ask questions. As long as they don't go beyond the knowledge of 'Magical Drafts and Potions', there shouldn't be any big problems." Albert was confident in his memory and was not worried about what questions he would be asked.
"I almost forgot about this. I'm suddenly looking forward to the potions class next Friday."
The three of them looked at each other and remembered that the person in front of them was very good at remembering and had a sharp mind. He should have no problem answering Snape's questions.
"If you answer all of them correctly, will Snape give you extra credit?2 George suddenly said.
"Probably not." Albert said with certainty.
"I think so too. At that time, everyone will be able to see what kind of professor he is."
