Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 149: Secret treasure
Albert raised his head, and by the white light from the tip of his wand, he vaguely saw Professor McGonagall who was walking quickly towards this side. The person following behind the professor was... their roommate Lee Jordan, who also There is... Headmaster Dumbledore.
The elderly man is looking at the three of them with a smile.
"Bud, it's great that you found them!" Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes fell on Albert, Fred, and George, as if to check if his students were injured.
"It should be said... Mr. Anderson found the two Mr. Weasleys." Professor Broad explained with a smile: "When I arrived, Mr. Anderson had been rescued from a large group of eight-eyed spiders. The Weasleys trapped in the Yamanashi tree."
"Sorry, you said a group of...what?" Professor McGonagall's voice couldn't help raising a little bit, as if she couldn't believe what she just heard?
"Eight-eyed spider, Minerva." Professor Broad looked sideways at Dumbledore, "There should be an eight-eyed spider's lair in the depths of the Forbidden Forest. These monsters basically have no natural enemies and have already multiplied. A big community."
"I see." Dumbledore looked at Albert curiously and smiled, "However, I am more curious how Mr. Anderson found the Mr. Weasleys, and how he dispersed the group. Eight-eyed giant spider, as far as I know, those monsters are not something that an ordinary freshman can deal with."
Albert looked at Lee Jordan and deftly staggered Dumbledore's gaze. Even if Dumbledore did not use Legilimency, he was an expert in this field. As long as the eyes of the two sides met, Albert would It's hard to lie in front of Dumbledore.
"Yes, I'm actually curious about this." Professor Broad changed his voice and reminded kindly, "But I think the top priority is to send them to the school hospital first, and we'll be back. The Portkey was used, and they're still . . .
"You're right, Bud." Professor McGonagall nodded and stared at the three of them sternly, "Come with me!"
"Excuse me, come and help me support Fred." Albert directly ignored Professor McGonagall's stern gaze and said to Li Jordan that he was too tired to help others at all.
"Oh, yes, and this dog, seems to be Hagrid's pet, and Albert seems to rely on it to find Mr. Weasleys." Professor Broad pointed to Fang at his feet and said, " However, it doesn't seem to accommodate Apparition."
"Don't worry, I have informed Hagrid that he will be back soon," Dumbledore said gently.
For a moment, he seemed to notice something, turned his head in a certain direction, and said with a smile, "Look, Hagrid is back."
Yes, Hagrid is back, from Hogsmeade's direction with the oil lamp, he was drinking a little high, and there was a strong smell of alcohol on his body, and he strode towards this direction. .
"Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall...Professor Broad?" Hagrid covered a wine burp, greeted the three professors, and then his eyes fell on Albert and the others, seeing that they were all right Also relieved.
"It's great that they're all right, these little guys like to sneak into the woods on their own when I'm not looking."
"Alright Hagrid..."
Dumbledore talked to Hagrid about the situation, and the gamekeeper said he would take good care of his pet.
Everyone said goodbye to Hagrid and soon came to the school hospital.
Mrs. Pomfrey was woken up in the middle of the night by someone, but Madam Pomfrey's temper was not very good, but she still dutifully treated the three of them.
"It's okay, the two Mr. Weasleys just don't get used to the door key, and haven't recovered from the dead door key. As for Mr. Anderson, he's just too tired, just get a good night's sleep." Madam Pomfrey examined the three and gave her diagnosis.
"They need rest and they will be fully recovered the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Now, the head nurse is ready to chase.
Unfortunately, even Madam Pomfrey doesn't have much to do with the fainting key, as long as she rests for a day or two and relaxes, it will be fine.
"Poppi, we need to figure out the cause and effect. It only takes a few minutes," Professor McGonagall said.
"Up to five minutes, the patient needs to rest." Madam Pomfrey frowned and shoved Albert a piece of chocolate.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Professor McGonagall's tone softened a bit, staring at the three and asking.
Albert briefly explained the situation. When he returned to the dormitory to rest, he found that Fred and George had not returned.
Later, it was learned from Lee Jordan that the two may have entered the woods and have yet to return.
Then, Albert said that he passed the owl and confirmed that the two were indeed still in the Forbidden Forest, ready to seek Hagrid's help. In the end, because Hagrid was not there, he had to go into the forest to find someone, and then let Lee Jordan return to the castle to ask the professor for help.
"You broke a lot of school rules along the way, but how did you find the two Mr. Weasleys, and how did you survive?" Professor McGonagall couldn't help asking, "Professor Broad mentioned that What happened to a group of eight-eyed giant spiders."
"At first, I thought that Fred and George were just lost. In a place like the Forbidden Forest, it's easy to get lost without anyone leading the way." Albert continued to talk about his experience along the way, and later he said that he met To the centaurs, and with the help of a centaurus, find the direction where the red sparks are bright.
"The red sparks were written by Albert to remind us." Fred took out Albert's handkerchief, which also read: Fire red sparks into the sky, you can ask the centaurs for help, they will send You leave the forest.
"Actually, centaurs aren't friendly," Albert laughed to himself, "but centaurs said they never attacked foals, which I guess meant not attacking students. Then I said it was Hagrid. My friend, negotiated with the centaurs, convinced them to lead me to the direction of the red spark, and later met the big spider.
Dumbledore nodded. He knew the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest.
"How on earth did you defeat the eight-eyed giant spider?" Professor Broad asked everyone's most curious question.
"Because of Fang's warning, I was not attacked by the eight-eyed giant spider, but the obstacle spell and stun spell have no effect on those giant spiders." Albert recalled lying on the bed, chewing chocolate, " Later, I tried to use a dance spell on its feet to limit its mobility, and it was a success."
"Wonderful idea, your defense against the dark arts is very good, I'm proud of you." Professor Broad nodded.
"Later, after I calmed down, I remembered the spider retreating spell I happened to see in the library." Albert sighed, "I didn't expect this spell to have a miraculous effect on those big spiders."
Albert slowly told the story tonight, and finally said that he relied on the Dharma Protector Tree to turn over half of the surrounded eight-eyed giant spiders...
"It's incredible." Professor McGonagall has seen the boldness and wisdom of this freshman from Albert's remarks, whether he found the twins through owls and hounds, or faced centaurs and eight-eyed giants. The courage and ability displayed by the spider, even if it enters the forbidden forest in the middle of the night, it requires great courage.
"Okay, I probably know the situation." Professor McGonagall gave the final verdict, "Mr. Weasleys, you have seriously violated the school rules, each one will be deducted 100%, and there will be a week of confinement. "
Both Fred and George whimpered, and Lee Jordan next to him was taken aback. With one hundred points each, Gryffindor's few scores were basically bottomed out.
"As for Mr. Anderson." Professor McGonagall hesitated, as if thinking about what to do with Albert.
In the end, it was Dumbledore who said, "Mr Anderson showed extraordinary courage and wisdom in the process, saving the lives of two Mr. Weasleys, and I think this is enough for you to receive a special contribution to the school. Prizes, and—let me think about it—by the way, you got two hundred for Gryffindor.”
Fred and George were both relieved to offset the points they had deducted. However, when I remembered that I was going to be locked up, I was forced.
“By the way, one more thing. Mr. Anderson saved me from being badly injured by a sneak attack by a giant eight-eyed spider when Mr. Anderson was in the Forbidden Forest,” Professor Broad said with a smile, “I think that’s enough. Earn 50 points for Gryffindor."
"Okay, let's go first! I think they should rest." Dumbledore turned to leave.
"One more thing." Professor McGonagall said suddenly.
"What's the matter, Minerva?" Dumbledore asked.
"What are you doing in the woods?" Professor McGonagall stared sternly at the twins.
Under such forceful coercion, the twins confessed everything.
"Where's the map?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"I threw that map in the Forbidden Forest," Albert said, "to prevent them from drowning in the woods and dying in the woods again."
"Okay, can I take care of my patient?" Madam Pomfrey came over and brought a sleeping potion to the three.
"Drink it, it will give you a good night's sleep."
Albert can guess what this is.
A bottle of life and death water
Albert drank the potion while Madam Pomfrey watched. The effect of the potion was immediate, he felt that his eyelids were heavy, he closed his eyes irresistibly, and a dreamless slumber enveloped Albert in it~IndoMTL.com~ Well, you also hurry back to the dormitory to rest! "Outside the school hospital, Professor McGonagall said to Li Jordan: "Your approach is very sensible, and you won 10 points for Gryffindor. "
After Lee Jordan left, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall all looked at Professor Broad.
"Mr. Anderson is basically right. However, I am also shocked that he was able to find Mr. Weasley." Professor Broad said with emotion: "He is undoubtedly a brilliant genius. By the way, there is one I want to tell you something."
"What's the matter?"
"I think I should resign early, this position really brings bad luck and misfortune." Professor Broad smiled wryly, "Before the curse hurts me, resigning early is undoubtedly a very wise move. Select."
"What's the matter with Mr. Weasley's secret treasure in Gryffindor?" Professor McGonagall suddenly brought up the map and couldn't help frowning.
"There are indeed similar legends, but none of this is certain. You know, legends are not necessarily reliable, although they may have some historical basis."
"I've heard of similar legends," Professor Broad said. "Some people claim that the Big Four have each left their own secret treasures at Hogwarts, which contain priceless treasures. , possibly gold, prophecies, and other powerful magical items."
"There is indeed such a legend in Hogwarts Castle, but the legend is only a legend after all, and no one has ever found the so-called secret treasure." Dumbledore said softly.
The three were silent, they all had their own judgment, and naturally they would not easily believe the so-called legends.
Yeah, legends are just legends, as if there was a room in Hogwarts, but no one found the room that Slytherin left behind.
