Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1071: Traps revealed
"You finally showed up."
"Why do you always like to play missing."
As soon as he returned to the common room, Albert saw that Fred, George and Lee Jordan all turned their heads and cast a bitter look at him. The Weasley brothers double-teamed and stretched out their hands to hold Albert's On the shoulders, Lee Jordan nudged Albert from behind, eventually pushing him into the armchair.
"What's got you so excited?" Albert asked with a smile, 80% of the time he thought something had happened.
"Bill's letter said that he helped us walk around Diagon Alley and found some merchants who are willing to rent or sell their stores." Fred took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Albert, which contained Bill Use extra time to gather and organize information.
Albert pulled out the parchment inside the envelope and found that there was a simple map of Diagon Alley stuffed inside the bulging envelope. It simply marked the location of the shop he was willing to sell, the size of the shop, the selling price, and the name of the shopkeeper. and contact address.
It seems that giving Bill a galleon and asking him to help was the right choice.
Albert could of course ask Dobby the house-elf to help gather intelligence, but the information obtained would never be as detailed, and Dobby might expose his relationship with him.
Of course, there are other reasons.
Dobby has been busy lately, and if he leaves school to help Albert, a terrible disaster will occur in Gryffindor Tower.
This is actually about Hermione.
Because Hermione still didn't intend to give up the idea of freeing the house-elves and put them into action, the house-elves hated the Gryffindor Tower and were reluctant to come here to help clean up, so Gryffindor The sanitation of the towers depends entirely on Dobby.
"It's a little expensive for them!"
Albert looked it over carefully, and put the parchment back in the envelope and returned it to Fred: "Well, now you can talk to each other first, showing that you are willing to buy, but show hesitation, After all, we have a lot of choices, and after the summer vacation, the price of buying a store will be cheaper, so we don't have to rush to buy a store."
Fred and George looked at each other with the expressions they expected.
They took out another notebook, which was full of new store design drawings. This is the store decoration they constructed after inspecting the Joko Joke Shop and other stores. It looked very trendy and incredible.
“Does it look great?” Lee Jordan asked with a smile.
"It's really great!" Albert nodded, looking at the blueprints in his notebook, "I'm sure our joke shop will be popular, so it's better to buy a larger one. "
In the following period, Fred and George were still busy researching publicity and sales. The joke props they made were very popular at Hogwarts, especially the escaping candy, which was almost sold out. Greatly boosted their confidence.
A rather surprising event occurred during the following period.
The Quidditch match has been cancelled.
Although Umbridge is temporarily unable to interfere in the next game, the three Quidditch captains have decided to cancel the next Quidditch game after consultation.
Whether it's the Academy Cup or the Quidditch trophy, both of which have been destroyed by Umbridge, it's no longer worth a lot of effort to fight for, and it's better to just go straight to the Slytherin team because of its cheapness in the end. Cancel this year's Quidditch matches and let the Slytherins play by themselves in order to spend more time on DA training.
The process of getting stronger is always fascinating, sometimes even more exciting than sleeping with a girl.
Especially for those students who are making rapid progress at DA meeting, meeting always makes them feel that they are changing and growing.
With the popularity of the DA party, many Hogwarts students were very interested in Albert's Guide to Self-Defense, and some even went to Albert to protest, complaining that he planned to wait until graduation before publishing it This book.
Are DA parties illegal?
This topic is not really important anymore.
Until Umbridge recovers and returns to Hogwarts, DA gatherings are not illegal, even Filch, everyone is not afraid, the only regret is probably Peeves.
After losing Umbridge, this fun toy, Peeves will focus most of his attention on his old rival Filch, and he will fight each other's wits every day, making Filch embarrassed unbearable.
Mr. Admin doesn't have the time or energy to go around with a whip to find trouble with the students.
Before Umbridge came back to suffer, Filch, the scapegoat, had to spend a lot of time and energy dealing with Peeves.
In late March, the atmosphere in the school suddenly became tense.
The looming Easter break has finally created a sense of urgency for fifth and seventh graders as they all face the most important exams of their lives.
The library is full every day, making Albert too lazy to go to the library to grab a seat with others.
As for the original Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Professor McGonagall originally asked Albert to help replace the class, but this proposal was directly rejected by Albert. He really didn't want to touch this unfortunate position, especially since he was planning to marry Isobel this year, God knows if the curse will be contagious.
Albert certainly knew that the curse wouldn't be for nothing, but he wasn't interested in taking a substitute class either, he just had enough to eat. In the end, this good thing fell to Snape. The Potions Professor was happy to take a temporary substitute and teach everyone about Defence Against the Dark Arts. As we all know, Snape has been spying on the position of the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. This matter is very important to Hogwarts. Students don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
But it's never been a good thing for Harry, who recently fell out with Snape.
"You're right, I really don't have the talent to learn Occlumency." Harry said to Albert with a sad face. He'd been learning from Snape for months, and Occlumency was still a mess.
"You annoyed Snape?" Albert asked curiously.
"Some unpleasant things happened," said Harry gloomily. "I'm surprised... Forget it, anyway, Snape messed up my brain, and those dreams not only didn't go away, but they kept getting bigger and bigger. The more obvious and frequent, the more I've been using potions lately."
"Even if you say that, I can't teach you. Sometimes it depends on your talent or your own efforts. Maybe you can succeed after a year or two, but time is running out."
Albert felt that Harry was definitely not here to complain, probably because he hoped that he could continue to teach him Occlumency, but Albert did not intend to agree, that would be a hassle, and there was no gain in sight. .
Sometimes people are tough, and Harry himself has a very bad relationship with Snape, and it's normal to suspect that the other party is secretive.
Maybe someone else will teach, and he will soon learn it?
"I can't help you." Albert shook his head and asked, "Potter, have you ever wondered why you have repeated dreams?"
"You know what?" Harry asked in a low voice, looking around.
"What did they say?" Albert asked instead of answering.
"What?"
Harry was confused, not only him, but Hermione and Ron.
"You have to understand that there are not so many accidents in the world. You have those dreams, and it must not be accidental." Albert guided, "Why do you think you have the same dreams frequently."
"Snape, no, I sometimes suspect that I'm Voldemort." Harry's face paled slightly, "Maybe, I'm possessed, so..."
Not only Harry, but Hermione and Ron's faces were ugly.
"I don't think you've been attached. This should only be an influence on your thinking. The connection between you and the mysterious man is very deep, and he is very good at this, so he left some traces." Albert read Looking at Harry, he continued, "If you want to know the truth, go to Headmaster Dumbledore, he should know better what's going on."
Harry's lips trembled slightly, but said nothing.
Honestly, he doubted Dumbledore would ever want to tell him.
"You mean You-Know-Who made Harry have repeated dreams?" Hermione was already aware of what Albert was trying to say.
"I think so." Albert nodded to guide the topic, "What do you think is the purpose or purpose of the mysterious person doing this?"
"The purpose of the mysterious man?"
The three looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, Harry said, "Makes me curious about that corridor, in fact, I'm really curious about what's at the end of that corridor."
"You mean that the You-Know-Who is going to lure Harry to find that corridor?" Hermione felt that there was something wrong with her words after she finished speaking.
"Your thinking is wrong." Albert said softly.
"What?"
"No matter what the purpose is or what purpose it has, it is a trap, a trap prepared for you." Albert said calmly, "Otherwise, the mysterious person would not waste extra time and energy on you."
"What about you?" Albert didn't say right or wrong, but looked at the others.
"If this is really a trap, how can the You-Know-Who... let Harry take the bait?" Ron, who had been silent, asked suddenly.
"Everyone has their own weaknesses." Albert looked at Harry and asked directly, "Potter, what are your weaknesses?"
"This..."
Harry is a little embarrassed, and to be honest, he doesn't actually know what his weakness is.
"You said." Albert looked at Hermione and Ron, "If you don't know, think about it. Those weaknesses may be exploited."
"Is it a weakness?" Ron asked, puzzled.
"Relatedly, think about the qualities most Gryffindors have." Albert glanced at Ron and continued, "Now that you know it's a trap, what do you do?"
"Avoid?" Harry was even more confused. He felt that his brain was a bit insufficient, and he couldn't understand the meaning of Albert's words at all. After he took out the smart candy from his pocket and swallowed it, he shook his head and said, "Obviously you won't give up easily."
"But, you're not fighting alone," Albert reminded.
"You mean asking Sirius for help?" Harry shook his head again in denial, "He doesn't think even Sirius can help him.
"Why don't you tell Harry directly." Ron looked at Harry, who was thinking hard, and looked at Albert with a frown.
"If you can't think for yourself, then you can't grow up." Albert explained, "You can also help to think together, flexible thinking can solve a lot of trouble."
"If it were me, if I knew that there was a trap ahead and couldn't avoid it, I should prepare in advance to avoid being injured by the trap." Hermione said after thinking carefully.
"I see," Harry said suddenly.
"Know what?" Hermione and Ron looked at Harry together.
"Since it's a trap, why don't we use it?" Harry said excitedly, "If we know the trap, we can also use it to deal with those people in turn."
Ron opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say, but Harry continued.
"I know what to do. As long as I step on the trap, someone will definitely jump out on the other side, and then we can figure out what the other side's purpose is, so why don't we find someone to come to the other side?" Ha Leigh felt that it was necessary for him to chat with Sirius, and it was best to pull the entire Order of the Phoenix into the water.
The most important thing is to reveal the fact that Voldemort is still alive and reverse the current bad situation.
Ron and Hermione are a little confused.
As the three were about to leave ~IndoMTL.com~ Albert suddenly said, "By the way, Hermione, those things you hid are causing trouble for the house-elves."
"What?" Hermione was even more confused.
"Dobby told me that you hide wool hats and socks all over the place, and the house-elves at Hogwarts feel insulted and refuse to come clean Gryffindor Tower." Burt looked at Hermione and warned, "You're going to cause a lot of trouble for everyone by doing this."
Hermione was silent for a while before saying, "So, those woolen hats and socks of mine..."
"...Dobby took it all," Albert originally thought that Hermione would change, but did not expect it to change in the end.
A stubborn person like her will probably wake up with a bloodbath.
Albert didn't intend to continue his persuasion, but just reminded the other party. After all, Dobby the house-elf will also leave the school together after he graduates. If the house-elves are no longer willing to step into the Glen Fendo, then the students here are probably in bad luck.
Hermione opened her mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.
"Dobby will follow me out of Hogwarts after this summer, and if you can't change your way, maybe Gryffindor won't have anyone to help with packing," Albert suggested. "Take the time to apologize to the house-elves, they will forgive you."
Hermione paled slightly and looked lost.
"Are you all right?" Harry and Ron exchanged glances, looking at Hermione uneasily.
"It's okay!" Hermione looked lost, and Albert's words obviously hit her hard. Once she apologized, it meant denying all her previous efforts.
Are you really wrong?
