Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 161: Garlic 10 character frame
Albert picked up the package from Hagrid and returned to the common room with his roommates.
As soon as Lee Jordan got through the hole, he reached out to take the package that Albert handed over and asked in confusion, "What are you going to do with these things?"
"Garlic cross." Albert prepares to go back to the dormitory first.
"Would you make that thing?"
"Idiot, Albert has even successfully made a protective bracelet." Fred looked at the two with idiot eyes, "Why do you think he can't make a garlic cross?"
"Of course I do," George mumbled.
No one wants to admit that they are stupid.
After the four hurried back to the dormitory, Lee Jordan immediately removed the garlic hanging by the window to dry.
“First, peel the garlic, then make it into garlic paste, soak it in alcohol, and let the allicin in the garlic dissolve into the alcohol.” Albert recalled the production method and continued, “In the meantime, by the way, protect the Dharma. The tree cross is also thrown into it, and the process will take about . . . a day."
"Do what you say." Fred began to help peel the garlic.
George takes out the mortar and mortar used in Potions, ready to mash the peeled garlic.
"No, I have a better way." Albert hurriedly raised his hand to stop George, and under the gaze of the three, he used his wand to transform a newspaper into a simple garlic press.
The three of them all came together, looked at Albert's transfiguration in amazement, and asked in unison, "What is this?"
"Garlic press," Albert explained casually. He put the peeled garlic in the garlic press, pressed it directly into the garlic paste, and then put the garlic paste into the wide-mouth glass jar.
"Good stuff." George's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took the garlic press from Albert, expressing his willingness to help press the garlic paste.
After ten minutes of drumming, all the garlic was finally crushed.
"What's next?" Lee Jordan asked, looking at the minced garlic in the jar.
"Infuse the mashed garlic with alcohol." Albert stirred with a glass rod to thoroughly mix the alcohol and the mashed garlic before sealing the jar.
"Is this all right?" All three felt a little weird, and it seemed to be simpler than they thought.
"Well, next, I'll deal with it tomorrow." Albert smelled the garlic smell in the air and frowned slightly, "Next time, remember to remind me not to get these things in the dormitory."
"I'm suddenly looking forward to what kind of alchemy props will be made this time." George was a little excited, this was the first time he had participated in the making of alchemy props.
"Alchemy... props?"
Albert didn't tell them in the end that the so-called garlic cross wasn't an alchemy tool at all.
Sure enough, don't shatter the children's innocent dreams.
The next steps are more complicated. You need to use warm water to melt the beeswax, add the alcohol separated from the garlic to the beaker, add a proper amount of olive oil during the period, and throw the cross that has been soaked in the alcohol for a day. cook.
Of course, they don't dare to do these things in their dormitory. If the whole dormitory smells of garlic, how can they sleep in the future?
The next day, Albert and his team moved the crucible to the shore of the lake, and the strong garlic smell escaping from the cooking caused a few curious students nearby to retreat.
"Whoever wears this thing will probably never want to have a girlfriend in his life." Albert pinched his nose and used a clip to pick out the garlic-smelling cross from the beaker.
"Would anyone really be willing to wear such a ghost?" Lee Jordan was the first to doubt it.
"I'm more curious if this thing really works?" Fred also didn't want to get too close.
"I guess the smell is used to smudge away the enemy." George also stepped back and muttered, "I didn't expect the smell to be so savory."
This is also impossible. Who asked Albert to do it repeatedly several times, concentrating all the garlic they planted and the garlic essence brought by several people on it.
"You mean, do we want to give this to Filch?" Fred suggested, not forgetting his revenge on Filch.
"Felch will definitely throw it away." Albert directly rejected Fred's proposal. If this kind of thing was given to Filch, the other party must have thrown it away. It was a complete waste of everyone's labor. results.
"If you want revenge on Filch." Albert pointed to another small bottle and whispered, "The residual beeswax also has a strong garlic smell, you can smear it on Filch's office. corner, I'm sure it will give Filch an unexpected surprise."
"That's a good idea!" The twins' eyes lit up, and they quickly picked up the bottle and opened it, only to choke on the smell of beeswax.
"Wait for the year-end dinner," Albert reminded.
"We know what to do." The twins looked at each other and laughed maliciously.
"Okay, pack up, let's go to Hagrid."
"What are you doing with Hagrid?" Fred and George asked warily.
"Of course it's an experiment to see if the amulet we've made can effectively expel dark creatures." Albert said of course, "Hagrid must know where to find less dangerous dark creatures."
"Oh, that's right." All three understood.
After all, after the amulet is completed, it is natural to find a subject to test whether it is effective.
Albert took out a piece of rope woven from a unicorn tail and used it to pass it through the hole reserved in the cross to make a necklace, "Which one of you want to wear?"
"Forget it!" George shook his head repeatedly.
"Do you want to smoke us?" Fred couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Albert.
Lee Jordan simply pretended not to hear.
Seeing that the three of them shook their heads in unison and refused, Albert was a little disappointed and put the garlic cross back into the wide-mouth glass bottle, and plugged the mouth of the bottle to block the strong garlic smell.
Packing up the crime tools, the four walked towards Hagrid's hut.
"What the **** are you doing?"
Hagrid, who was processing animal skins in front of the hut, smelled the strong garlic smell on the four of them from a distance, wrinkled his nose and looked at them with disgust.
"Garlic cross." Albert shook the wide-mouthed glass bottle in his hand and asked with a smile: "The amulet we just finished, come here to see what dark creatures can let us test the effect of the amulet. ."
"Garlic cross, what's that?" Hagrid took the wide-mouth glass bottle and opened it, causing him to sneeze several times at the smell of garlic escaping from it.
"A garlic-flavored amulet that protects the user from sneak attack by dark creatures."
"I don't know if it can protect the user from the sneak attack of dark creatures, but as long as you wear this thing, I don't think any vampire will want to come within ten steps of you." Hagrid couldn't help but complain. He remembered the alcohol and beeswax he had sent to Albert, and he probably guessed what was going on.
"Do vampires really hate the smell of garlic?" Albert asked curiously.
"Yes, garlic is as disgusting as a cesspit for vampires," Hagrid explained dryly, "but I think if it wasn't a vampire, it would be as far away from this thing as possible. , it tasted really...very bad."
"And... what about the dark creatures?" Fred couldn't help asking.
"Don't you want to take this thing into the woods, right?" Hagrid stared at the Weasley brothers vigilantly. It was normal for him to have such thoughts. Who made these two guys in front of him often Sneak into the woods.
"No, we don't want to go into the woods for the time being. It's too dangerous. That incident scared us enough last time." Fred hurriedly covered his chest and said, and he secretly kicked George next to him. The reader immediately understood, and quickly agreed to ensure that he would not enter the woods again.
Hagrid stared suspiciously at Fred and George, apparently not convinced by their assurances.
"I don't have any dark creatures here, but I know where they are. Come with me!" With that said, Hagrid led the four of them along the edge of the woods toward Professor Keelber's hut.
Professor Sylvanos Ketelber, who protects magical creatures, currently lives on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, where his well-raised babies also live.
It is said that the Conservation of Magical Creatures class at the school will also take place in a clearing near Professor Kettleb's hut.
Professor Ketelber was feeding the snake bird with Flobber caterpillars when Hagrid brought Albert and the others over.
"Hagrid, is something wrong?" Professor Kettleb asked, looking up.
"Oh, it's like this. There are a few students. They made an amulet, hoping... I hope to test the effect of the amulet with your Grindello." Hagrid glanced at Albert behind him. man, he said.
"Amulet? Shouldn't it mean garlic?"
Professor Kettleb looked at the freshmen behind Hagrid, and he could smell a strong garlic smell from afar.
"This is the amulet, Professor Kettleb." Albert handed Professor Kettleb the bottle containing the garlic cross.
I have to admit, this is a fine work of art.
At least, it doesn't look ugly.
"Oh, my God!" Professor Kettleb finally knew what the smell of garlic was on several people. "Don't open it here again, my little baby doesn't like this smell very much."
"Do you think it can protect me from sneak attacks from dark creatures?" Albert asked hastily.
"I'm afraid the effect is only average." Professor Ketelber explained, "Some creatures do not like the smell of garlic, and they will instinctively stay away from it, but this is not absolute."
"Can't it be made from the branches of the guardian tree?"
"Yes, I think this might work for vampires, but...don't expect too much from the rest." Despite that, Professor Kettler lent them a Green Dilo, as soon as Albert pulled the cross out of the bottle, this hapless Grindylo started to stay away from Albert's garlic cross, apparently smoked enough.
"Congratulations, this amulet almost stunned Grindyloh~IndoMTL.com~ Hagrid pinched his nose and said angrily.
"Thank you, I didn't expect this to happen." Albert couldn't help but sigh, he now finally knew what the so-called amulet was.
"What are you going to do with this thing?" Fred couldn't help asking.
"I'm going to make a treasure map, put it in a book in the library, and let the students who find the treasure map dig for the treasure." Albert had already figured out what to do with this thing.
"Now, this amulet is called 'Vampire Retreat'." Albert announced in public, "It is the legendary amulet that can protect himself from vampires."
When several people heard the words, their faces twitched.
Albert was able to say such things with the face of the latter, although this kind of amulet could indeed drive away vampires.
"I suddenly had a little anticipation. The guy who discovered the treasure map, after deciphering the treasure map and digging up the treasure, found that the legendary necklace that can protect himself from vampires is actually this kind of thing, no I know what to look like." George suddenly felt very interesting.
"I found you to be quite funny." Fred muttered, "But, I like it, I just wonder if that guy will faint with anger after finding the treasure so hard." /
"I'll help too," said Lee Jordan excitedly. "It's a treasure hidden by Hogwarts students through the ages. I think many people will be interested in it."
Hagrid was stunned listening next to him. He never thought that Albert was going to dig a hole for the students in the school and severely punish them.
Think of the day when I was borrowing a book and found a treasure map in the mezzanine. Even if I didn't believe it, I would try to find out if I could find the treasure.
