Just as George said, getting a pair of ice skates wasn't difficult at all.

Albert borrowed ice skates from Shanna and used the duplication spell on them, effortlessly providing ice skates for all four of them.

Although Shanna's ice skates were of the universal type, Li Jordan's feet were too big to fit into them. He could only stand on the shore, watching his roommates put on their skates, preparing to try out this new sport.

"Be careful with the ice blades, don't slip and hurt yourselves," Albert loudly reminded Fred and George, who were already wearing their skates. "It's better if you spread out and practice in a place with no one around."

"Can't you adjust the size for me?" Li Jordan felt a bit down, not liking the feeling of being left out.

"If you borrow skates from someone else, I can duplicate a pair for you," Albert replied, changing into his brown boots and taking a few steps to familiarize himself with the feeling of gliding on the ice.

After George put on the ice skates, he started walking and almost twisted his ankle.

Fred, on the other hand, had it worse and fell directly to the ground, grimacing in pain.

"I'm so frustrated. This guy seems to be good at everything," Fred said, slowly standing up with Li Jordan's support.

"Be careful not to step on my foot," Li Jordan reminded loudly.

"Are you guys okay?" Shanna turned the corner and stopped in front of the two.

"We've already warned them," Albert stood next to Shanna, looking at the unsteady twin brothers, shaking his head almost imperceptibly. "It's normal to fall a few times at the beginning."

"You really know how to ice skate," Shanna remarked, watching Albert's smooth movements, unable to help but feel impressed. "You're good at everything!"

"I've played before. My family taught me," Albert lied a little.

In fact, Albert didn't have much talent in this area. After falling several times during practice in the past, he got so frustrated that he used a cheat code to directly level up his ice skating skill to level 1.

"Who's going to teach us how to use this thing?" George shouted at the two.

"Well... I can't help you with that," Albert shrugged helplessly, saying to the twin brothers, "My ice skating skills are really lousy."

As if to reinforce what he had just said, Albert nodded again and repeated, "Yeah, really lousy."

"Are you guys ice skating too?" Mario turned the corner and stopped on Albert's left side.

The acrobatic trio was also ice skating here, and their skating skills were very proficient. They could even perform various strange moves while skating.

Albert felt that the three of them could form a team and participate in international ice skating competitions.

"Mario, can you teach us how to skate?" George quickly sought help from someone familiar.

"I've just started myself, so I can't teach others," Albert explained helplessly, noticing Jack's gaze.

"Well... that's not a problem. But we can't guarantee that you'll be able to learn. After all, ice skating also requires talent," Danny and the others didn't mind helping them out. After all, they were all Gryffindor teammates, and their relationship was pretty good.

Seeing that someone was teaching the Weasley group, Albert turned to Shanna and asked, "Do you want to skate around the Black Lake together?"

"No, I'll pass," Shanna politely declined, surveying the Black Lake.

"See you later," Albert waved at them and started skating around the Black Lake. The Black Lake at Hogwarts was really big, and there were many students skating on the shores near the castle.

The surface of the lake was smooth, and Albert glided along the lake's edge, enjoying the scenery along the shoreline.

Honestly, this feeling was quite novel. He believed that many students hadn't taken the time to appreciate the scenery around the school from various corners of the lake. It would be great if they had brought cameras along.

Albert spent quite some time skating around the lake. When he returned, he encountered a few familiar faces.

The red-haired MacDougall sisters from Ravenclaw.

Katrina had just let go of her sister Isobel's hand but fell on her bottom after taking a few steps.

Albert quickly skated around from the outside to avoid colliding with her.

For beginners, it was dangerous to practice ice skating. After all, you never knew when they would fall and take you down with them.

"Are you okay?" Albert saw that Isobel had no intention of helping her sister, so he extended his hand to help Katrina up from the ice.

"Thank you," Katrina felt a bit embarrassed by Albert seeing her in such a disheveled state, but she still politely thanked him.

"Oh, you're welcome." Albert was considering whether he should let go since she seemed like she could fall at any moment.

"Katrina, you probably don't have much talent in this area," Isobel looked at her sister with a helpless expression.

"Long time no see, Isobel," Albert said. "I read your paper, it was excellent, but it's a pity."

"Thank you," Isobel nodded. "I never thought I would win the Most Promising Newcomer Award in Transfiguration so soon. It's too early for me."

"Do you two know each other?" Katrina raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, we both participate in Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club," Albert explained.

"Albert is a genius in Transfiguration," Isobel suddenly said.

"Are you two just praising each other?" Katrina looked at them strangely.

"It's not praise, it's a fact," Isobel shook her head. "By the way, I used a small part of your theory in my paper."

"I don't mind," Albert waved his hand. "Professor McGonagall told me about it, and I agreed. After all, we all find things from books."

"See you at the next Transfiguration Club meeting." Albert handed Katrina's hand over to Isobel and turned to leave.

Isobel suddenly called out to Albert.

"I heard you are close to Professor Brode?" Isobel suddenly said.

"?" Albert was puzzled. He didn't understand why Isobel would bring up this matter, but he still answered her question. "Not close, but I have been to Professor Brode's office a few times to discuss Dark Arts Defense issues."

"It seems that Professor Brode thinks highly of you," Isobel said meaningfully.

"What's the matter?" Albert looked at Isobel with confusion, feeling that her words had another meaning.

"Professor Brode is a famous wizard. If you become friends with him, you can learn a lot," Isobel nodded. "If you want to improve in a certain area, you need to communicate more with talented people in that field."

"Oh, thank you for the reminder," Albert looked puzzled but still thanked her before turning and leaving.

"Is there really no problem with Professor Brode? Is he just a well-known wizard?" Albert had a face full of question marks. He decided to take some time to investigate Professor Brode's information.

He felt that there was something strange about Professor Brode.

When Albert returned after completing a lap around the Black Lake, Lee Jordan was still struggling with his ice skates with Mario's help.

As for Fred and George, those two had disappeared long ago.

"Where are the Weasley brothers?" Albert asked in confusion.

"They gave up," Danny shrugged. "Only Lee Jordan is still hanging in there, but he's been falling a lot."
