After the term started, Albert’s life was busy and fulfilling.
Aside from making appearances at the professors’ club, he made a special trip to visit Professor Flitwick to discuss the International Wizarding Dueling Tournament, taking the opportunity to gift him a few photographs taken after his championship victory to thank him for his past help.
