Capítulo 92: Chapter 92: Life is So Difficult
(Vote Plz....)
October had just arrived, and Hogwarts Castle was already engulfed in strong winds and heavy rain.
Days of continuous downpour had caused a sharp drop in temperature. The cold air permeated the castle silently, seeping in through the rain curtain.
As soon as Albert realized he had caught a cold, he immediately went to the school hospital and received a cup of tonic from Madam Pomfrey, the matron. The effect of the potion was immediate, but the downside was that anyone who drank it would have smoke coming out of their ears for several hours in a row.
The Weasley twins found great amusement in this.
However, after a few days of their antics, their own ears started emitting smoke. But for the Weasley twins, it seemed like an entertaining thing. They even deliberately imitated the sound of a train whistle, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Outside the window, the rain continued to fall.
The Gryffindor common room was brightly lit, with a roaring fire in the fireplace, providing warmth and comfort. At this moment, Albert sat with his roommates near a window, doing their homework together.
"Do you think the garlic shoots will get soaked and ruined by the rain? It has been raining for several days now," George asked, looking out at the dim rain curtain, appearing gloomy.
"Be careful, if I were you, I would pay attention to my own homework," Albert reminded. "Don't ruin your nearly completed essay."
"Ah!" George noticed a drop of ink on his parchment and couldn't help but scream, "Oh no, my homework."
"Don't wail. It's your own fault for being distracted while doing homework," Angelina, whose temper wasn't great, retorted. She had caught a cold from the Quidditch training sessions a while ago, and even though she had taken Madam Pomfrey's tonic, her head still felt a bit foggy, making it hard to concentrate on her work.
"Should we go and check? I'm worried that the garlic will get soaked and ruined," Fred proposed anxiously.
With such terrible weather, they couldn't possibly go and check the condition of the sprouting garlic.
Albert shook his head upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "That's the difference between planting outside and in a pot!"
"If you're worried about the garlic, go and check, but don't look for me," Lee Jordan said irritably. Smoke was still coming out of his ears after drinking Madam Pomfrey's tonic.
Almost all the new students had been wiped out by this cold epidemic.
"There's no point in going out to check. We can't do anything about it," George said in frustration. Just as the garlic had started sprouting, this prolonged rain came, submerging all the sprouts in water.
"They're just planting garlic. Is it really that difficult?"
For some reason, the Gryffindor common room suddenly became lively, and people were excitedly discussing something.
"What's happening?" Angelina asked Albert.
"How would I know?" Albert replied with a bit of annoyance, staring at the chrysanthemum he had conjured and placing it in a nearby vase. The vase was filled with chrysanthemums, all the result of Albert's practicing summoning spells.
"It's an announcement about the trip to Hogsmeade," Lee Jordan pointed to a notice on the old bulletin board. "End of October, before Halloween."
"Yes, but that's an activity for third-year students," Angelina corrected, appearing a bit impatient. The buzzing conversations in the common room were affecting her concentration.
"Actually, I'm quite looking forward to this year's Halloween," Albert said. He had already been to Hogsmeade once and wasn't interested in the only wizarding village in Britain. "I heard from senior students that Halloween at Hogwarts is great. There will be bats flying everywhere in the castle, pumpkin lanterns, pumpkin-based delicacies, and a Halloween celebration feast at night."
In the novels, Harry Potter always encountered some trouble during Halloween at Hogwarts. In his first year, a giant troll invaded the castle; in his second year, Filch's cat was petrified; in his third year, Sirius Black attempted to break into the Gryffindor common room; in his fourth year, the school hosted the Triwizard Tournament... and so on.
Alicia raised an eyebrow and asked, "I don't think Halloween is particularly fun."
"Don't you think it would be more enjoyable to celebrate Halloween together?" Albert explained. "Games are more fun when played together, and festivals are more lively when celebrated together."
"That makes sense," Lee Jordan agreed.
"The last time I went to see Hagrid, I noticed that every pumpkin in his backyard was half the size of a person," Albert continued. "Those pumpkins must be for Halloween."
There was no doubt that Hagrid had used the Engorgement Charm on the pumpkins.
Actually, Albert thought the Weasley twins could use the Engorgement Charm on the garlic they were growing. After all, they didn't eat that stuff.
Well, if Fred and George knew how to use the charm.
Unfortunately, compared to Halloween, it seemed that everyone was more interested in Hogsmeade Village. They even heard second-year students complaining about why only third-year students were allowed to go to Hogsmeade.
However, Albert and his roommates weren't as enthusiastic about Hogsmeade Village as the others. After all, they had just recently visited the place, and it didn't hold much mystery for them. Besides, it would be pointless to go if they didn't have any money.
When the rain finally subsided, the twins immediately grabbed their umbrellas and went to check on the garlic, dragging Albert along, who was still practicing summoning spells.
The situation wasn't looking good. All the garlic shoots had soaked in water for too long and rotted.
The expressions on their faces were as gloomy as the dark clouds in the sky.
There's no way around it. After waiting for a long time for the garlic shoots to sprout, everything was destroyed by a heavy rain.
The twins, who had put so much effort into it, suddenly became depressed.
"What on earth are you doing?" Hagrid's frustrated voice came through the rain.
As the three of them looked in the direction of the voice, they saw Hagrid rushing towards them without even holding an umbrella, getting soaked in the rain.
He thought they were planning to enter the forest, so he hurriedly came over, almost losing his temper.
Albert briefly explained the situation, and Hagrid was dumbfounded, pointing at the twins in disbelief. "You're planting garlic here?"
When Hagrid saw the overturned bags of soil and the rotten garlic, he believed it.
"Uh, well, they just wanted to make a... protective charm using garlic. It requires a lot of garlic!" Albert quickly explained.
"This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard," Hagrid looked at the three of them with a speechless expression and patted Fred and George's shoulders. "It's just planting garlic. Don't be upset, I can give you a few more. This time, plant them next to my vegetable patch."
"No, Hagrid," Albert interrupted. "This time we plan to transplant the garlic into pots and bring the pots back to the dormitory. Then we won't have to worry about the rain. The only trouble is that we'll need to take them out to bask in the sun every now and then."
