Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 330: Created monsters
"Cheers to the exam results!"
Under the beech tree by the Black Lake, Albert and his group, who had just finished their final exams, were clinking glasses with cold butter beers to celebrate that they finally got rid of the sweltering classroom and the shadow of the final exam.
Drinking half a cup of butterbeer, the sultry heat of June dissipated most of the time, and a breeze blew from the lake, bringing the slightest coolness.
"You tell me, how many years has the big squid in the black lake lived!" Fred looked at the big squid lying in the warm shallow water and basked in the sun, and casually found a topic.
"Hundreds of years?"
"Ordinary animals can't live that long!"
The three of them looked at Albert, waiting for each other's answers.
"Who knows?"
Albert was lying on the reclining chair transformed from the Transformation Spell, yawning lazily and said, "The giant squid should have lived for many years, I doubt it was the pet that the Big Four kept in the Black Lake. "
"It's possible, I heard that the giant squid won't hurt the students at Hogwarts. If you accidentally fall into the water when crossing the lake, it will also send the students to the boat." Lee Jordan said, using a branch Gently fiddling with its tentacles, the giant squid's tentacles patted the lake water, splashing Lee Jordan directly.
Fred and George couldn't help laughing at this scene.
"Ordinary animals can't live that long." Fred didn't believe Albert.
"Yes, just Phoenix." Albert reminded.
All three couldn't help but roll their eyes.
"Apart from Phoenix?"
"The basilisk may also live a long time," said Albert mysteriously.
"basilisk, what is that?"
"In a very old book at Hogwarts, it is recorded: In our country, there are many terrifying beasts and monsters, of which the most bizarre and deadly is the basilisk, and Known as the Snake King. This snake can get very large, usually lives for hundreds of years, and is hatched from a male egg by a toad."
"You actually memorized the contents of the book." Fred looked at Albert in shock, and couldn't help muttering, "How busy are you!"
"Is there something wrong with your concern?" Albert was immediately speechless.
"It was hatched from a male egg by a... toad?" George felt strange.
"Well, the basilisk is a magical creature created by a dark wizard. Its lethality is amazing. I heard that the basilisk's stare can kill people. Anyone who is stared at by its gaze will die immediately." Albert Deliberately widened his eyes, "like this."
"Can a basilisk stare at people?" The three obviously didn't believe it.
"Probably! I'm not sure." Albert continued, "That's the information I found last time I checked the giant spider. Basilisk likes to eat spiders, and it is the natural enemy of the spider."
"You think the giant squid is also a magical creature made by wizards?" Lee Jordan understood what Albert meant.
"Well, I think the giant squid may be a magical creature created by the Big Four, who arranged it in the Black Lake as a solid defense line for Hogwarts." Albert thought for a while and said, "If anyone If they want to cross the lake to attack Hogwarts, they will be attacked by giant squid on the lake and capsized, and they will all sink to the bottom of the lake to feed the fish.”
"Why do you think that?" George asked curiously.
"Eight-eyed spiders were created to guard a wizard's abode or treasure, as were other monsters, usually created by magic."
"Okay, don't fool us." Fred couldn't help rolling his eyes, looking like he didn't think we'd be fooled.
"Haven't you noticed that the terrain around Hogwarts Castle is easy to defend and difficult to attack?" Albert also knew that the three of them didn't pay much attention to these things, so he just told them about it as a joke .
"There are also a large number of knight statues and knight armors in the castle. When necessary, wizards can use magic to drive them, turning these things into the most loyal soldiers against invasion from the outside world."
"It seems to make sense." The three casually said.
"That era was called the Dark Middle Ages. Do you think it is dangerous?" Albert didn't care, and continued: "The wizards of that era were probably even fewer than we are now, and there was no order. If there were Muggles The number of wizards cannot stop the army from attacking the castle."
"Muggles will attack Hogwarts?" The three were taken aback for a moment.
"Of course, it may also be other dark creatures, or evil wizards. A thousand years ago, the world was not very safe." Albert put away his dull tone and said with a smile: "However, I did not Find records of war at Hogwarts in historical documents."
"So, what you said just now, are you fooling us again?"
All three of them couldn't help rolling their eyes, knowing that they had been deceived by Albert again.
"Just speculation!"
"Stop those useless speculations, when are we going to find Gryffindor's secret treasure?" Fred asked in a low voice, looking around, making sure no one was around.
"Tomorrow morning!" Albert added, "ride over on a broomstick."
"Ride a broom?" The three of them looked at each other~IndoMTL.com~ Originally, they thought they were going to go deep into the forbidden forest, but Albert actually planned to fly through the sky on a broom.
"Otherwise? Are you still going to break into the Forbidden Forest and fight the eight-eyed giant spider?" Albert was immediately speechless, trying to cross the Forbidden Forest from the ground was too stupid, he never thought about it from the beginning Have an adventure.
"Then what is the purpose of the magical confrontation we have practiced for so long?" Li Jordan couldn't help complaining, "And the spell to deal with the eight-eyed giant spider."
"Of course to ensure the safety of my own life." Albert said his plan: "We first rode a broom to the vicinity of the secret treasure guide, and then slowly looked for it at a lower altitude."
"We were stupidly preparing to walk through the forest." George felt that he and Fred were so stupid at the time that they never thought about flying overhead!
"We didn't have broomsticks back then!" Fred protested.
"What do I do!" Lee Jordan asked hastily. Among the four, he was the only one without a broom.
"Let George drive you then." Fred grinned and threw the trouble to his brother, and Albert would not be able to tell the time and energy.
"Idiot, doesn't Albert still have a silver arrow?" George admired his quickness, "Of course Lee Jordan will come with us on a broom then."
"It won't fall down suddenly," said Lee Jordan worriedly: "After all, it's an antique!"
"It shouldn't, even if you fall, I will catch you as soon as possible!" Albert comforted casually.
"You can't comfort others, just shut your stinky mouth!" Lee Jordan complained. "I don't want to fall off a broom."
