A day at Hogwarts.

After the Christmas vacation, Albert and Katrina quietly returned to Hogwarts Castle with the help of Dobby.

When he separated from Katrina and returned to the common room, he found that someone had already returned to school earlier than him.

Harry, Ron, Fred, and George were sitting by the fire doing their homework for the holidays, while Hermione and Ginny were whispering about scarf designs.

"Oh, great, you're finally here. We thought you'd be here at night." Hearing the noise, Fred and George raised their heads to see Albert entering the lounge, and immediately got out of their chairs. He jumped up and greeted Albert with a smile on his face.

"Holiday homework, right?" Albert raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing why the twins were so enthusiastic.

"You still know us." The twins patted Albert on the shoulder with a grin and said, "It's much easier this way."

"Is it really okay for you to do this?" Hermione glanced at the envious Harry and Ron, and asked, "I didn't do my homework during the holidays, so what about the final exam?"

"Everyone has something they are good at. Compared with theory, we are better at practice. As for the final exam, is that important?" Fred said indifferently.

"Since we already have the OwLs certificate," George shrugged and said a bunch of rebellious words, "do we really need the NEWTs certificate?"

"Mum's going to be mad if she finds out," Ron warned.

Albert put down the cat cage, took out his wand from his cloak pocket, waved it lightly, conjured a folder out of thin air, and handed it to George.

"Mom actually knows a little bit." George took the folder and returned to his seat, intending to finish the holiday homework as soon as possible.

Albert bent down to pick up the cat cage, preparing to go back to the dormitory first.

"That... Occlumency..."

Harry stood up all of a sudden, looking at Albert who was walking towards the stairs of the boys' dormitory, hesitant to speak.

"Most Gryffindor students rarely deliberately suppress their emotions, so the possibility of learning Occlumency is not very high. Even if they can learn it, it will take a long time." Albert stopped and looked at Harry, who was about to put a tranquilizer in his mouth, said bluntly, "You don't have to try to quibble, I've got verification from Fred, George and Lee Jordan, and you are even more emotional than the three of them Therefore, I am not sure that I will teach you Occlumency within half a year, and it may even make your brain worse."

"But Dumbledore..."

Harry was about to speak when he was interrupted by Albert.

"You may not succeed if you try, but if you don't try, you will never succeed." Albert was not in a hurry to go upstairs, and sat down by the fireplace, opened the cage by the way, and let Tom out of it.

The fat cat yawned, swung its tail lazily, and rubbed against Albert, trying to jump onto Albert's lap, but was stopped in time.

"It's Snape." Harry slumped back in his chair helplessly.

"I know, I mentioned to the headmaster that you have a bad relationship with Snape." Albert calmly said something that surprised several people, "He obviously thinks..."

"Can't you just finish talking?" Harry cast a resentful look at Albert, he hated half-talking.

"Well, Mr. Headmaster probably thinks that both you and Snape can overcome your dislike for both of them." Albert glanced at Harry and said flatly.

The corner of Harry's mouth twitched slightly, and the others also looked at each other, apparently unable to understand why Dumbledore thought so.

"It's amazing... Dumbledore always... I dare say Snape couldn't do it himself." Harry's expression was extremely strange, "He hates me like he hates my father, and I also Instinctively hate him."

"Maybe, you can give him a tranquilizer." Ron said suddenly.

"That's a really...good idea." Harry poured out a tranquilizer and threw it into his mouth. "He's willing to take it in advance."

"I think it's very difficult," grumbled Fred. "It's like Percy saying he's a fool."

"Percy is the biggest fool in the world now," George reminded.

"I just stopped by the school hospital. Umbridge's skin disease is almost cured," Albert reminded.

"That's really good news."

Ron looked at Harry suddenly, wondering if he had heard wrong.

"Maybe, we can continue to turn her into a cat." Harry looked at his vacation homework and said unhurriedly, "I got some compound potions from Professor Moody, so I can put her in bed again." Two months."

"The same trick, if the toad gets hit twice in a row, then she is an out-and-out idiot." Although Albert hated Umbridge, he didn't think that the other party would be stupid enough to get hit in a row. Now that he has suppressed his anger and has nowhere to vent his anger, he is ready to trouble Potter as soon as he recovers from his illness.

Whether it was Potter or not, Umbridge would probably be convinced that they were the ones who did it, that she needed to vent her pent-up anger, and Potter had obviously passed it on.

After the holiday, before Harry received Umbridge's wrath, he first received the complicated gazes of the Hogwarts students.

At least, most people will not reject him as before, thinking that he is a liar.

The Azkaban escape slapped the wizarding world so loudly that they had to face up to the dire question of whether Voldemort was resurrected.

Now, no matter where Albert went, he could hear students discussing the Azkaban prison break and the two articles in the latest issue of "Defense Letters". Even the professors were discussing this matter.

According to the latest information provided by Fred and George, the number of students joining DA has increased by leaps and bounds, and the number has reached nearly a hundred.The death eaters' jailbreak made many people feel insecure, and joining DA, they can learn defense against the dark arts and how to protect themselves, which is undoubtedly what they need most at present. More importantly, the number of DA members makes some people feel a sense of insecurity. Follow blindly.

Alongside the members of the DA, there are members of the Anti-Toad League.Because of the "The Secret Behind the Lies", many students disliked Umbridge, and nearly half of the students claimed to be members of the Anti-Toad League.

"If the whole school wears this kind of badge, what do you think the toad will do then?" Fred handed a Gryffindor lion's head badge to Albert, then stretched out his hand and pressed it, The lion's head spins and turns into a toad.

"We got inspiration from the badge of Harry's stinky poop made by Slytherin last year. Just touch it with your hand and you can turn into a toad to show that you are a member of the anti-toad alliance." George introduced their badge to Albert. Latest Products.

"Is this thing distributed for free, or..."

After Albert took the badge and looked it up and down, his eyes fell on the task content of the newly triggered Anti-Toad Alliance.

Now the members of the Anti-Toad Alliance account for 35% of the total number of students in the school, and 60% of the tasks are required. The difficulty of completing the tasks is a bit high.

"We're going to sell two Sickles," said George.

"Too cheap."

"How much do you think is appropriate?" Fred asked.

"One Galleon."

"It's too expensive and no one will buy it," Lee Jordan reminded.

"Make it a symbol of each college, and distribute free badges to members of the Anti-Toad Alliance, and regard it as a benefit of the Anti-Toad Alliance. If it is lost or confiscated, you can spend one Galleon to buy a new sales badge .”

Albert never expected to be able to sell these badges, but it wouldn't be too hard to get most Hogwarts students to get one for themselves, people like to be cheap, no matter where they are.

"Also, your method is wrong. It is not difficult to use the rhythm of tapping to control it to turn into a toad, and it comes with the function that the badge will heat up slightly when Umbridge is nearby. It will be sold The badge function of the version has become more."

"In the future, members of the Anti-Toad Alliance will greet each other, as long as they show their toad badges to each other."

Fred, George and Lee Jordan were all taken aback when they heard this.

"There's a saying that you don't blame the crowd. If everyone carries these things collectively, do you think Umbridge dares to expel more than 100 students at one go?" Albert pointed to the magazine on the table again, "Deal with the toad , you have to pull everyone together, don't give her every opportunity to break through, especially Umbridge's condition is getting better, I think she just got out of the hospital and she must find some unlucky people to vent, if you guys don't want to be If you are a member of the unlucky ones, act quickly and take advantage of this opportunity. After this turmoil is over, it will be difficult for you to form an anti-toad alliance."

"What if there is a lot of trouble?" George said, frowning.

"Don't you guys want to stay in school? It would be great if you graduate early, and you can also win everyone's favor by the way. Are you afraid that no one will care about the joke shop?"

"I thought you didn't want me to graduate early?"

"Aren't you even ready for the store?" Albert tapped the parchment in his hand and said, "However, the current price is still a bit expensive. After the mysterious person announces his return, we can negotiate with them. The price can still be paid." Drop it down again. Now you can think about how to design the store, what things you need to use, and what joke props you plan to sell."
