Albert didn't know if Hermione would catch Rita Skeeter the way she did in the original story, trapping her in a glass jar to cool off for a while.
Still, no matter how things turned out, Albert didn't care. After all, it was none of his business, and he could just sit back and watch.
He continued to live his school life according to his original plan, occasionally pulling out his notes to refine his old projects. As for teaching Hermione the Shielding Charm, it didn't take up much time or energy.
