Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 214: Falling in trouble
"What the **** is going on?"
Snape opened his hazy eyes, woke up from his stupor, looked at the familiar room arrangement in front of him, and closed his eyes again to recall some fragmentary memory fragments.
"Last night was like... a nightmare?" Snape covered his eyes with the backs of his hands, trying to remember what happened last night. He remembered hearing a strange cry, and then... he couldn't remember anything.
Those things are not memories at all. Snape only vaguely remembered crying, and then he lost consciousness. What was going on?
While Snape was still thinking about the reason, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the clock in the corner and jumped up from the bed. He found that he had slept until 9:30 in the morning.
This is an unforgivable sin for a potions master who is strict with himself.
Snape hurriedly got up and put on his robes, reached out and patted his twitching cheeks, and immediately rushed to the potions classroom.
There is no doubt that the Potions Professor is late.
The story of Snape's release of the student pigeons quickly spread to Hogwarts Castle.
This is a rare piece of big news. It's hard to imagine that someone like Snape would be late for class?
It's a rare occurrence in ten years.
It only took less than half an hour to spread the word almost all over Hogwarts, and it was more sensational than the morning stupid Slytherin student was caught on a night tour.
No way, it's hard for everyone to imagine that something like that would happen.
Of course, no one dared to discuss this matter openly. No one wanted to be caught by Snape and turned into the chicken that slayed the chicken, and everyone noticed Snape's gloomy expression as if someone owed him ten thousand Galleons, and naturally he wouldn't die.
"What a lively day!" Albert covered his yawn and ate a slice of bread, while listening to the gossip girls talking about interesting things next to him.
Last night there was a lot of talk about the haunting of the castle's basement. Some people said that the eerie cry was actually a crying Myrtle in the second-floor bathroom. Others said it might be Peeves playing a prank. Of course, there are people... Anyway, everyone is talking about the situation, and Albert is very happy to see this scene.
As for the Slytherin students who were caught by Filch, everyone was watching the fun. Anyway, seeing that Slytherin House was deducted points, the students of the other three colleges were all in a good mood, as if drinking Had a great Butterbeer.
Fred, who knew the truth, tried to restrain themselves from laughing. They all knew that the unlucky Slytherin student had undoubtedly become Albert's scapegoat.
They'd love to see it, though, and there's nothing more gratifying than seeing a nasty guy get unlucky.
"You said, when will Snape find out that he has lost something?" Fred and the others were gathered in the Room of Requirement to look at the pot of mandrakes that Albert got, and George next to him She couldn't help but laugh while covering her stomach.
"Not so fast, Snape should be suspicious, unless they find a pot of mandrakes missing from the greenhouse, but I don't think Professor Sprout will find out so soon, after all the magic she needs to take care of There are so many plants, and we have to teach students every day, how can I have time to remember how many pots there are." Albert explained casually.
"Makes sense." George wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded, "If Professor Sprout only planted those mandrakes, she would have found the problem, but there are so many things she needs to care about, no Maybe all of them are clearly remembered."
"Are you going to return this pot of mandrakes?" Lee Jordan suddenly asked. With Albert's ability, there was naturally a way to quietly return the mandrakes to the question. . As long as the Mandrakes are returned, the matter is basically flawless, and even if Snape suspects that the cry came from the Mandrakes, he has no proof whatsoever.
"No, this thing is still useful to me." Albert is ready to make it into a black magic tool. As for the problem of salt, he believes that he can definitely solve it.
It's not like it used to be, edible salt is not expensive.
"What if Snape guessed?" George asked, he believed that Snape was not stupid, just contact the rumors of the castle, go to Professor Sprout to make sure, and these will be confirmed soon Things are connected, maybe not in the first two days, but they will definitely be discovered.
"What can he do if he finds out, he can't torture all the students, and ordinary students simply don't have the ability to silently get a pot of mandrake from the greenhouse and put Sneeze Pu was dazed. Snape had a spell to protect his office. Do you think a second-year student could break through those protective spells and break into his office?
"Also, did it rain yesterday? There were no footprints left on the ground." Albert winked at the three of them and smiled, "What's more, Mrs. Fat was not there last night, even if Snee was not there. Pu suspected it was the Gryffindor students, and he couldn't have learned from the fat man that there were Gryffindor students who left the dormitory in the middle of the night to go out for night tours~IndoMTL.com~Unless Snape told every student They all use Veritaserum, but the Ministry of Magic restricts the use of Veritaserum, and the medicinal materials required by Veritaserum are very precious, even if he wants to make more, it will be difficult."
"Oh my God, did you take this into account?" Fred couldn't help screaming.
"Of course." Albert continued: "Now, you are the only flaws, I don't think Snape will suspect you at will, but you have to pretend that you don't know anything, and don't go out of your way. Discuss. In short, it's important not to get Snape's attention."
"We know what to do." The three looked at each other and grinned.
"If we can't find the murderer, Snape will definitely be mad." The four couldn't help laughing.
"By the way, when are we going out to find the jumping toadstool?"
"This week, if it rains, go out and look for the bouncing toadstool." Albert thought about it and said, "After the potions class in the afternoon, go to the library to find information about bouncing toadstools."
The book "Thousands of Magical Herbs and Mushrooms" actually contains an introduction to the bouncing toadstool, but it is not complete. They need to find a book called "Toadstools" in the library. Find relatively safe methods of picking and storing.
"Remember, pretend you don't know anything, and don't let Snape notice you," Albert said again before leaving the Room of Requirement.
No way, they'll have potions class later.
"We know." The three said solemnly, then all laughed again.
"Okay, okay, I think you'd better laugh enough here before going out." Albert covered his face helplessly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
