  Chapter 14 Earn a Wave

   "Is there anyone here?" The African-American boy pointed to Albert and asked.

   "No one, sit down." Albert said with a smile, "My name is Albert Anderson."

"Li Qiaodan." The black boy showed his white teeth, looked at the books on the table in surprise, and said seriously, "I feel like you will be sorted into Ravenclaw. I heard that books... most people who like to read will be sorted into Ravenclaw. Winclaw."

   "As long as I don't go to Slytherin, I don't care about the rest." Albert took out a few chocolate-flavored candies from his pocket and asked, "Do you want candy?"

   "Thank you, it tastes good." Li Qiaodan took one, opened the package and threw it into his mouth, "I like chocolate flavor."

   "That's good, take what you want." Albert put hard candies of various flavors on the table, and sharing food is an effective way to get closer.

  This trick, he tried repeatedly in school before.

"I think we should go to Gryffindor. I heard that it is the best place. Principal Dumbledore is from Gryffindor. You know, he is the greatest wizard ever." Li Jordan was very talkative, with a smile in his mouth. Candy, and kept talking.

   However, his chatter was quickly interrupted.

   A pair of red-haired twins are knocking on the door.

   "You don't mind squeezing another person!" said one of the twins pretending to be shy, "We are late, the other cars are full of people, and the girls don't welcome us."

   Without waiting for Albert to answer, the other twin said, "I'm George, George Weasley."

   "If I were you, I would try to dry off the water on my body." Li Qiaodan reminded kindly. "I'm Lee Jordan."

   "Albert Anderson." Albert closed the book, put it back in the box, and pointed to the place next to Li Jordan.

   "Meet George later." The other twin turned and left.

   Actually, the other twin returned soon after, bringing his own suitcase along the way.

  The compartment of the train can naturally accommodate four people, after all, this is originally a seat for six people.

   It’s just that some students will be in the same cubicle with their friends, and even if there are vacant seats, others are not welcome to come in. This was what caused the belated Weasley twins to find no cubicle.

   "This is Fred, my twin brother." George introduced

   "Even if you don't say it, we can still see it." Li Qiaodan said. "I can't tell who you are, maybe you should give yourself a mark to distinguish."

   "Do you want candy?" Albert asked again.

   "Oh, thank you, mom doesn't like us eating too much of this stuff." The twins each took one, opened the wrapping paper and stuffed it into their mouths.

   "It tastes really good."

   "This is your owl, isn't it? It's so beautiful." One of the twins wanted to reach out and pet it, but she gave up after being glared at by Sheila. He didn't want to be pecked.

   "It doesn't like strangers very much." Albert explained casually, "However, you can try feeding it some nuts, maybe it will be willing to touch you."

  Li Qiaodan tried, but failed. Sheila ignored him at all and continued to rest with her eyes closed.

  The train started and began to accelerate slowly forward, leaving the platform.

   "How about the magical world?" Albert picked up a topic at random, "You all come from the magical world, right?"

   "How do you know?" Li Qiaodan was surprised.

"The clothes on your body, your dress is obviously not up to standard." Albert pointed to the clothes on the three of them and said, "Ordinary people don't dress like this, obviously only wizards don't understand these things, just like we don't understand magic like the wizards of the world."

   "Excellent." Li Qiaodan gave a thumbs up and said, "By the way, there seems to be something in the window."

  Albert turned his head and saw an owl by the window, so he quickly opened the window to let it in.

   This is a gray owl that came in and shook its body, and the rain splashed around.

  Shela let out a cry of dissatisfaction, jumped onto Albert's shoulder, and stared fiercely at the guy who came to take it uninvited, very dissatisfied that her nuts were stolen.

   "Don't be angry, it's just a few nuts. I'll buy them for you after you finish eating." Albert looked at the flying owl, touched Sheila's head and comforted her.

   "I always feel that you don't look like a Muggle-born wizard at all." Li Qiaodan whispered, "Muggle wizards don't know this, can I take a look?"

   "Please go ahead." Albert took Sheila off his shoulders. He didn't like an owl standing on his shoulders. This little guy was still a bit heavy.

   "Any news?"

   "Minister Millicent Bagno announced that he will retire after 1990." Li Jordan spread the newspaper on the table and said, "It is rumored that Principal Dumbledore is likely to become the next minister."

   "My dad said that if Headmaster Dumbledore wanted to, he would have become the Minister of Magic very early." Fred obviously didn't believe this.

   "Who do you think has a better chance?" George asked back, "Oh, the Daily Prophet actually held a quiz."

   "I don't know, but I'm a little interested in the quiz above." Of course Albert knew who would be the next minister, "If I want to participate in the quiz, what should I do?"

   Someone gave Galleon, why not?

   "Gambling is not a good idea, Albert." Li Jordan said seriously.

"It doesn't matter if you make a small bet." Albert took out his wand, put it vertically on the table, let the wand fall to one side freely, and explained casually, "Ollivander said that my wand can bring me luck, So, I'm going to vote for... well, Cornelius Fudge, and I'll vote him to be the next Minister for Magic, if the bet is credible."

  The three people in the cubicle were stunned. What kind of show operation was this?

   "Do you really want to participate in the guessing game?" Fred swallowed, he thought it was absurd.

   "I haven't decided yet, after all, I don't know much about the magic world." Albert also didn't want his pocket money to be wasted.

"No, the quiz held by the Daily Prophet is still very reliable, and many people have won the lottery in the past. However, there are fifteen wizards who are favored. You really want..." George pointed out, "Fudge's odds are 4 Times, not the most favored one."

"Of course, the most promising one usually won't succeed. It's usually the unlucky guy who is thrown out as a sacrifice, um, to attract attention." Albert took the newspaper, carefully studied the way to participate in the guessing, and then Take out a quill from your suitcase, write your name on a piece of parchment, choose the contestants and the amount to bet, then take out Galleons, count 25 Galleons and put them in your wallet .

   Seeing Albert count out 25 Galleons, the three of them couldn't help swallowing. This is a lot of money.

   In other words, this guy is really rich, and the three of them are really envious. When did they touch so many Galleons? If he had a Garen in his pocket, he would be able to make them laugh for days.

  The three of them didn't recover until Sheila grabbed the money bag and the envelope and disappeared into the rain.
