Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 639: Ambush
Just after the Transfiguration class, Albert followed the others to the hall, and as he passed through the hall, he saw a group of students gathered around the bulletin board, reading the text on a piece of parchment that had just been pinned.
"Percy, do you know the content of the bulletin?" Albert greeted Percy in the crowd, asking about the message posted on the bulletin board.
"It's about the Easter break."
Percy glanced back at the crowded bulletin board and told Albert what he knew: "Professor McGonagall has asked that students on campus during the holidays be restricted to the halls, the library and the common rooms of the various colleges. activity."
"This is absolutely the worst Easter ever at Hogwarts!"
Albert is not surprised. If the control of students is loosened during the Easter holiday, then what is the point of strict control before.
Lee Jordan squeezed out of the crowd and couldn't help but complain, "If I say, just don't have the Easter break, it's the same situation anyway, and you don't have to do all that annoying holiday homework!"
Percy frowned upon hearing Lee Jordan's words and said to several people: "Professor McGonagall is doing this for everyone's safety, and she has been working hard to keep the school running."
“Why not send all the students home for Easter?”
Abbot believes that in the current situation, the Easter break is definitely a headache, and keeping students at school for the holidays is not a good idea. If everyone was forced to go home for Easter, there would be no such mess.
"The situation is not so bad that it is impossible for Professor McGonagall to rush all the students... send them home." Percy originally wanted to use "rush", but felt it was inappropriate, and finally changed his words temporarily. .
Anyway, nothing happened, so keep dragging.
Albert is no stranger to this kind of fluke mentality. It will be too late when an accident occurs. This sentence is not just talk.
However, through the bulletin board, Professor McGonagall gently suggested that everyone go home for the holidays.
Actually, she did too.
During lunch, Professor McGonagall began to sign the list of students staying on campus. I have to say that the information on the bulletin board was very useful. Many students had reserved seats on the Hogwarts Express and planned to go home. Easter Vacation.
Sanna saw Albert signing the parchment of the students, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you really not going to go home for Easter?"
"No, I don't plan to go back." Albert made a random excuse and said perfunctorily, "Anyway, it's almost a holiday, and there are a lot of homework during the Easter holiday, and 80% of the students who go back can't finish it." /
"I don't think anyone believes your nonsense right now." Fred and George gave Albert a contemptuous look.
If you don't count the first and second grade students, it is estimated that Albert is the least stressful of vacation homework, but they know that Albert will soon finish the vacation homework a few days ago.
"Don't worry, we'll take good care of him and won't let Albert be attacked." Lee Jordan patted his chest while planting a flag on Albert's head.
"Shut up, don't set up flags for me." Albert forked a big potato, stuffed it directly into Lee Jordan's mouth, and blocked back what he wanted to say.
Lee Jordan picked up the fork indifferently, bit the potato on it, and said inarticulately: "I'll just say it casually, it's not you, I'll hit whatever I say."
In a blink of an eye, the Easter holiday begins.
Saturday morning, many students, dragging suitcases, appeared in the foyer in twos and threes, preparing to take Thestrals to Hogsmeade Station.
In fact, the loss of Professor Dumbledore's shelter at Hogwarts School has made many students feel insecure, and most Muggle wizards are reluctant to stay at the school for the holidays.
After most of the students left, the castle suddenly became empty. According to Fred and George, there were more students who stayed at the school for Easter than the Christmas holidays.
Albert intends to do his holiday homework first, so he doesn't rush to do it a few days before the holiday ends. Fred, George, and Lee Jordan, though reluctant to do their homework on vacation, went to the library with Albert to do their homework.
Anyway, you have to do it, so naturally you have to hug your thighs.
They also had to get a snack on it, and the annual Easter holiday homework is overwhelming.
Albert zips through the bookshelves in search of useful Spell essay material, with the last few essays left on his vacation homework.
I don't know how to fill twelve inches of parchment paper without enough material.
As soon as the book was pulled from the shelf to read, Albert immediately noticed that a note had been stuffed into the book.
He pulled out the note and found that it was written in a man: Today is it.
What is today?
Seeing the Chinese on the note, Albert was silent for a while, and then he understood the meaning above.
The attack happened today.
He even left a note to remind himself that something was obviously going to happen.
Albert tucked the note into the pocket on his robe, then tucked the book back into the bookshelf and continued to circle the library until he got out of sight of the others before he took out the deformed lizardskin bag , took a small golden pill bottle from the leather bag.
That's the elixirs, the legendary luck potion.
At critical moments, it is suitable for life-saving.
To make sure that he is safe, Albert always carries these with him in case of any unexpected event that may come.
Scrape off the sealing wax on the bottle with a fingernail, pull out the cork, Albert takes a good amount, takes a small sip, and uses up about a quarter of the amount, which can bring him a few hours of luck .
Albert could clearly feel the potion starting to take effect as soon as he ate it.
A feeling of incomparable exhilaration flowed through my body, as if I had become omnipotent and could easily accomplish anything.
The feeling of being able to do anything, as if everything is so easy, is fascinating.
Of course, Albert knew that it was a small side effect of Fuling, but as long as it was carefully grasped, compared with the powerful effect of Fuling itself, it was not a big problem.
Albert's brain has never been clearer than he is now, and he is confident that he can win. Especially when he was prepared for a long time, Albert really didn't know how to lose.
Well, the elixir, or intuition is telling Albert that the parchment may have other meanings, and he may finally use the time converter to escape the pursuit of the basilisk.
Now, she should go back to her vacation homework and give Ginny Weasley some tips to give her time to prepare for the attack.
Albert returned to the group with a few books, flipped through the information, followed the prompt of his Fuling (intuition), and whispered to a few people, "Oh, I almost forgot something, tomorrow It's Easter, last time someone sent me an invitation to go to the Easter dinner, and now this is happening, and I don't know if Professor McGonagall will allow me to use the Floo network to leave school."
Fred, George, and Lee Jordan are used to Albert's Easter banquet, and at most they complained about Albert's secretly running to eat something delicious.
Albert pretended not to hear a few people's complaints, and continued to bury his head in writing the curse paper. He glanced at Ginny Weasley not far away from the corner of his eye, and muttered in his heart: "Tom, you don't want to. Let me down!"
The enchantment paper was completed faster than expected. Albert handed the paper to Fred, politely rejecting the intention of several roommates to accompany him to find Professor McGonagall. Leave the library and head to Professor McGonagall's office.
The journey from the library to Professor McGonagall's office is a short one, but it's a great opportunity for Tom Riddle.
Albert is also well aware of the dangers of the journey, as this is the best chance he has created for Tom Riddle to strike.
As soon as the front foot left the library, Albert took out a map from his pocket and pinpointed the exact location of Ginny Weasley.
Ginny is in the abandoned girls' bathroom on the second floor, where the hapless Miss Ghost has apparently been petrified.
Albert's mouth curled into a small smile~IndoMTL.com~ and walked towards Professor McGonagall's office. Along the way, there was another ghost patrolling in the corridor, but the ghost's location had not changed, and Albert suspected that he had been attacked by a basilisk.
Walking to a certain corridor near the stairs on the third and second floors, Albert began to slow down his pace. The Flux (intuition) told him that he should stop, and Albert couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Turning in the direction of the corner, he could feel a deep malice coming from the corner at the end of the corridor.
This is the first time Albert has felt this way. The hair on his body stands up, and the sense of danger of death rises from his heart.
Fu Lingjian really couldn't bring him real luck, but it greatly enhanced Albert's abilities in all aspects and amplified his five senses.
Fu Lingqi (intuition) tells him that he can't go there, or he may die here.
He stopped, stretched out his hand and took out the hot detection ball from his pocket, suddenly smiling maliciously at the corner of his mouth.
Tom Riddle was probably waiting for her on the other side of the corner, along with the basilisk in the back room.
As long as you pass the corner, you will definitely hit the basilisk head-on, and the result can be imagined.
Tom Riddle is watching himself, waiting for him to take the bait, and why isn't he?
"Come on, the game is on!"
Albert took a deep breath, suppressed his beating heart, stretched out his hand and took out the things he had specially prepared for the basilisk from the package around his waist, turned around without hesitation, and started to follow the predetermined route move.
He knew that the moment he turned around, Tom Riddle, who had tracked him with the Footprint Charm, must have had a wonderful look.
