Chapter 36: The Struggle of Muggle-Born Wizards

On September 3rd, the first day of Hogwarts, the gloomy rainy that has been plagued them for days suddenly went away.

Albert woke up from his deep sleep. He slowly got up from the bed, walked barefoot to the window to open it, and let the morning wind blew into the room.

His roommates are still sleeping. They talked about Daily Prophet's bet on who will be the new Minister of Magic, how interesting Zonko's Joke Shop and Honeydukes was, and where should they go next time they visit Hogsmeade. They chatted all night and goes to sleep late, so Albert have no plan to wake them up now.

After all, their first class won't start until nine o'clock, and getting up now is too cruel for them who stay up late.

After a brief wash, Albert took a look at his class schedule, checked the books, quill, ink, and parchment in the schoolbag, then hang the schoolbag on his shoulder and went to the common room.

There is someone who came to the common room earlier than him, and she is a first-year student.

"Good morning, Wilson." Albert greeted the girl, who was reading Miranda Goshawk's "The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1", probably to prepare for their first Charm class.

"Good morning..." Shanna Wilson's red face shown her embarrassment because she didn't know the name of the boy who greeted her, even though she knew that he was also a first-year like her.

"Albert Anderson. You can call me Albert." Albert saw Shanna Wilson's embarrassment and casually introduced himself to her, and he said again, "Shall we go to the hall for breakfast?"

"Oh, umm... okay, Albert!" Shanna spoke a little hesitantly, picked up the book, and hurriedly followed Albert to left the common room.

Along the way, Shanna didn't speak, but followed Albert closely, while looking around as if trying to remember the way they walked.

Albert noticed what she is doing and couldn't help but said: "Could it be you don't know the way?"

It's really possible.

In his past life, in the first class of the university, he almost went into the wrong room.

Hogwarts is undoubtedly more complicated, even someone who has a good sense of direction can find themselves lost. But not Albert. No, he just went for a little detour, yeah, a little detour.

Albert's guess was right, Shanna really didn't know the way to the hall, so she waited for others in the common room to follow them to the hall.

To be honest, Gryffindor students are not people who like to show others the ways around, and a large part of the senior students like to look at the anxious appearance of the first-years. This bad habit comes from the fact that they had a similar experience at the beginning, and over time they get this bad taste of looking at others' bad luck.

Yesterday, Albert came back from the kitchen and saw a few senior students who watched a first-year fall into the trap of the stairs, and just walked away while laughing, without any intention to come forward to help.

Of course, this can only be regarded as some special cases!

Most of the students will stretch out their hands, at least Hufflepuff students will do so.

After arriving at the hall smoothly, Shanna looked relieved.

Albert sat at the Gryffindor table, poured himself a glass of milk, and drank it with his head up in one breath. He looked and found that Shanna was staring at him, her mouth opened slightly as if she has something to say.

Albert asked: "What's the matter?"

"Nothing. Albert, do you like to drink milk?" Shanna was trying to chat with the boy in front of her.

After all, no one wants to have no friends, and Albert seems to be quite nice.

"Like?" Albert shook his head, "I can't talk about liking, but I am used to it. I have been drinking a glass of milk each day since the age of seven so I get used to it."

Shanna speechlessly opened her mouth. In fact, she still admired Albert, after all, she couldn't do it. (T/N: I really don't understand. Why do so many people in this novel act like milk are the most disgusting thing in the world?)

Albert spread blueberry jam on a slice of bread and took a big bite, while Shanna across him was eating a British-style fried egg, which is boiled, then the shell was peeled, wrapped in flour, and fried until it was golden.

All right! Albert thought it might be more suitable to call it golden fried eggs. He is not interested in this unique British egg. Ordinary hard-boiled eggs are better than it.

After he finished the slices of bread in his hand, Albert took two slices of bread, stack some vegetable salad, and put some bacon and sausage on top of the salad to make a sandwich.

Of course, there is also a small bowl of polenta. The so-called polenta is similar to corn soup, a food made by boiling cornmeal with water and soup stock.

Compared with Daisy's corn soup, the polenta in the school can only be regarded as so-so. This is not surprising, Daisy's corn soup is one of the dishes she can best produce.

After breakfast, Shanna and Albert chatted about the Charm.

"I heard Angelina say that you have mastered many spells, is it true? How did you learn those spells in a short time?" Shanna spoke slowly as if she was carefully considering her own words.

"This...mainly you need to be interested in it first, and then..." Albert thought for a while and said. "...It takes time to study and practice."　　

He feels that interest is actually very important. Only when he is interested will he be willing to spend more time to earnestly learn a subject.

"Interest?" Shanna mulled.

In fact, a Muggle-born student like Shanna never thought that they would be a wizard or a witch. Now she is still confused about many things. After all, there are many things that Muggle-born wizards need to learn.

There is no doubt that the students from a family of wizards are ahead of them.

"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. Everyone is not that far ahead of us. Spend more time on study and you will soon be able to catch up with them." Albert suddenly felt that his words were a bit ridiculous.

How can I make Gryffindor students love learning?

Not every student is Hermione Granger, and that girl was almost assigned to Ravenclaw.

"The same to you?"

"Of course, or what do you think?" Albert answered naturally.

However, when he said this, he felt like he is deceiving a little girl. After all, Albert is different from others in that he has a game screen. If he wants to learn a kind of knowledge, in addition to his own learning, he can also upgrade his skills through the screen.

If the Wizard's Bloodline can be upgraded, Albert's speed in learning magic completely surpasses the others by a few times, but he has not done so, even the reward from the mission of the Wizarding's Way has not been taken by him.

Albert is still considering whether to wait for the Wizard's Bloodline to be upgraded in the future before receiving the mission reward, which is undoubtedly the most cost-effective method.

But the problem is that Albert is still struggling with the problem of his future prospect, he doesn't really want to stay in the Wizarding World to develop.

If he decides to develop in the Muggle world in the future, he must hoard a lot of experience and skill points for himself to upgrade various skills in economics and finance in the future.

Forget it, just let future Albert think about these issues.

Albert got rid of these distracting thoughts, and slowly read the book "An Anthology of Nineteenth Century Charms". He is actually quite satisfied with his current life. As for the hoarded experience and skill points, he will hold onto them for now. He will use them when he really need it.
