16 Chapter 16: There is a generation gap

"This is called Bibi Duo flavoured beans," Lee Jordan shook his box and handed it to the three of them, "There are all kinds of flavours in it, try it."

"You have to be careful when you eat this," George warned, "He said so many flavours, you know, it means all kinds of flavours are available."

"Not only the general taste of chocolate, mint, orange jam but also spinach, liver, and belly. By the way, be careful of the earwax flavour," Fred reached out and grabbed one and threw it into his mouth, "This one is pumpkin flavour."

"What flavour is this one?" Albert asked, picking up a grey bean.

"Pepper flavour, if I were you, I wouldn't touch it," George kindly reminded, "It tastes like hell."

"What about this?" Albert picked up something similar to bubble gum.

"This is Chubo Super Bubble Gum."

Albert ate it after that. A bubble gum won't taste terrible.

"I know this chocolate frog. I ate it last time." Albert pointed at the Chocolate frog.

"Pumpkin pie, pot cake, liquorice wand," George began to explain other weird foods, some of which would change the colour of the whole tongue after eating, and some that could make various sounds after eating.

"Animal voice changing candy can make all kinds of animal sounds."

Albert opened one, took out one, and asked, "What is this sound?"

"I do not know."

"How long will it last?"

"About a few seconds!"

Albert threw the candy into his mouth, opened his mouth, and suddenly roared like a lion, and the others couldn't help laughing.

"Let's try it as well."

The one that George ate was a baboon, Fred was a cat, and Lee Jordan was rather unlucky. The one he ate was an elephant. His cheeks suddenly became red and his ears spewed smoke, which made everyone laugh.

"I think I should buy more," Albert thought that these kinds of candies were very interesting, so he went to other workshops to find the witch and bought another one.

"Bought it for my sister," Albert noticed the doubtful look of the others and explained with a smile.

Of course, Albert didn't intend to eat these things to fill his stomach. He also took out the sandwich that Daisy had prepared for him and ate the sandwich under the puzzled eyes of everyone.

"You also brought food, why do you have to buy more?" Lee Jordan was puzzled.

"Because of novelty, if I encounter something interesting, I will send a copy back to my family." Albert picked up a bottle of peach-flavoured soda and asked, "Do you want to try it?"

"What is this?"

"Try it. You may not have drunk it," Albert bought a glass of pumpkin juice, which tasted a little special, just like drinking soy milk.

"How to open it?" The twins looked at the can of soda curiously.

"There is a pull ring on it, don't shake it, watch out for the drink inside," Albert reminded, but it was too late, Fred already got sprayed when he opened the soda.

"I told you to not shake it," Albert couldn't help but chuckle, and took the peach-flavoured soda from the other's hand, only half of it was left.

He drew out his wand, cleaned the water stains on the table and on the newspaper.

"Are you going to try the taste?" He said, then he raised his wand and tapped it at the candy paper bag on the table, turning it into a plastic cup.

"Wow!" The twins suddenly made an exaggerated voice.

"What's the matter?" Albert looked at them suspiciously, and said, "Duplicate as a pair."

He used the copy spell to turn the plastic cup into three.

"You just used magic, right?"

"Oh, the tricks learned in the spellbook are very useful," Albert said lightly, "Is there any problem?"

"Are you really asking if there is any problem?" Lee Jordan said feebly, "Of course there is! I remember you are a Muggle wizard."

"And so?" Albert asked, raising his eyebrows.

"I dare you to say that there is absolutely no way to use magic as proficiently as you did as freshmen."

"Aren't you exaggerating it too much?" Albert turned off the subject in case he would expose something, "Would you like to drink?" He poured a half glass for each of them.

"It tastes a bit strange, but it's not bad."

"It feels a bit like beer, but it's different."

"You know beer?" Albert asked curiously.

"George drank it secretly."

"You didn't drink it secretly?"

"You all are not Muggles, it is normal to be unaccustomed to drinking," Albert's words were not difficult to understand. He himself drank pumpkin juice instead of alcohol.

"That is not the point. How did you do it? I heard that transfiguration is super difficult to learn," Lee Jordan said exaggeratedly.

"It's super difficult?" Albert thought about it carefully. But it seems that it was not as difficult as the other party said? He had inquired about the tricks of Truman of how he changed matches to needles, and after practising for a week, he could easily change small items, he fully upgraded the Level 1 Transfiguration.

"It was only a bit difficult. It took a half a day for the match to be changed into needles, but it will be easier after you become proficient."

"Half a day," The three looked at each other and suddenly felt a little autistic and didn't want to talk to each other.

Albert guessed he would lose friends if he pretended to be like this.

"Is it really easy?"

"Well, how much magic have you mastered?" George asked weakly.

"I tried all the textbooks... Didn't you try magic during the summer vacation?" Albert looked suspiciously at the three boys.

"Our family won't let us touch the wand."

"You can try it secretly, and didn't you buy a magic wand?" Albert was speechless for a while.

"Could it be that you succeeded in learning all the magic?" Fred asked weakly.

"Most of them were successful. I also met Hogwarts students during the summer vacation. We kept correspondence, and he helped me a lot in magic..."

BOOM!

A shock of thunder fell from the sky, interrupting Albert's words, and the rain outside the car became heavier and heavier.

Was God not able to stand it as well?

Lee Jordan thought as he got up and closed the windows to avoid the rain.

"I hope the rain will stop when we get to school," Albert threw chocolate into his mouth and chewed slowly without speaking anything further.

The long journey on the train became boring soon.

"What's wrong with you?" Albert asked, looking at the silent three people in confusion, after a long time.

"Nothing!" Fred managed to squeeze out a sentence, "I always think you will become a great guy in the future."

"I feel the same," Albert said suddenly, and all three of them choked.

"Haha, kidding, no one knows what the future holds."

The rest of the time, they were all eating snacks and talking about the magic world. Mostly three of them were talking about it, and Albert was listening.

When talking about Quidditch, Albert listened to the three people doing their best to explain the four rules and how the seven players played a game. It was very interesting.

The twins wanted to have a good flying broom and play a wonderful game of Quidditch.

"I want to try the feeling of flying into the sky," Albert said, "Although riding the broomstick is a little weird."
