Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 388: ALFG’s trick

Harry took a moment to calm Ron, he knew how Ron was feeling right now.

Before, Harry, too, was poor, and had few pennies in his pocket, and his Uncle Vernon never wanted to spend an extra shilling on him.

Later, Harry inherited a large inheritance from his parents, but he didn't have much concept of money itself, and there were not many places where money was needed. The Garen he took from Gringotts last time, In addition to buying what he needs, most of it is still in his pocket.

"I don't know where they got so many Galleons." Ron muttered softly, and he certainly wasn't stupid enough to think that Albert paid for it himself.

"I probably know why." Harry recalled and said, "Remember that billboard on the bulletin board?"

"What ad?" Ron asked.

"It's the 'Communication card, let's keep distance from each other.'" Harry said, "I remember the last time I saw Fred and George put up an ad there, and Percy gave it to me because of it. Warning, the contacts are Fred, George and Lee Jordan."

"You mean they make so many Galleons selling those so-called communication cards!" Ron's eyes widened, his face full of shock, he couldn't believe that Fred and George had sold them. what.

"Probably the one Mr. Anderson asked them to help sell and then gave them money." Harry still knew something, explaining to Ron.

After all, Harry had been living in the Muggle world before, and Albert's behavior was all too common in the Muggle world.

"But why didn't he sell it himself?" Ron couldn't understand, if he were, he would definitely be alone...

"I don't know either, it's very likely..." Harry didn't know Albert either, but he heard that he was a very powerful genius and seemed to be rich, "...probably... Don't want to waste time!"

Harry doesn't think there's anything wrong with Albert's approach, and if it were him, he would probably do the same, provided he can think of it.

"Why don't I make money?"

Ron's next thought jumped out, and even though he knew why, he was still depressed.

Harry next to him took out a piece of parchment from his pocket. This was a treasure map. On it was written a line of words in gorgeous squiggles: "Juniors, congratulations on finding the treasure we left behind, go find it." Well, we put all the treasures there. ——ALFG

"ALFG?" Harry whispered the letters, turning his head to Ron next to him, "This must be a very bad guy."

Ron looked at the treasure map carefully, frowned slightly and asked, "Where did you get this thing?"

"I found it in a book I borrowed from the school library last time I was doing my homework!" Harry didn't intend to hide it.

At the time, he noticed that several pages of parchment had been pasted together, and upon closer inspection, he discovered that this treasure map was hidden inside.

"Maybe the other party is playing tricks on us." Ron frowned as he looked at the old parchment, "This summer, Fred and George boasted to us that they passed a piece of parchment. Found Gryffindor's secret treasure."

Speaking of this, Ron couldn't help but have contempt in his eyes, and he knew it was impossible when he thought about it, not to mention that Fred and George even bragged to him that they had beaten the giants. Strange, even defeated a huge spider, and found the treasure hidden in Gryffindor after many tests.

As soon as I heard this, I knew it was fake.

However, it feels a little odd to associate it with this old treasure map in Harry's hands.

Is it true?

Ron used his mind that didn't think much of it, and the final answer was: bullshit.

"Let's go!"

Harry thought about it and said the invitation, he didn't want Ron to continue to be upset because of what happened just now, and always thought that treasure hunting was a very interesting thing.

"Hmm."

Ron agreed, and since Harry wanted to go treasure hunting, he went with him.

"What does that mean, though." Harry pointed to the markings on the other side of the treasure map, which looked like a map.

"I don't know." Ron looked at the map, feeling irritated. "Maybe a map somewhere in the castle."

"What does a ghost have to do with toilets?" Harry looked bemusedly at the few simple portraits next to the map.

"And... is this supposed to be a pumpkin?" Ron speculated. "Will ghosts and pumpkins refer to Halloween?"

"I don't think so, what's the point of that toilet? The toilet in the bathroom?" Harry was even more confused, he wasn't good at solving puzzles at all. "Also, is this the map of the castle?"

"It should be... the map on the second floor of the castle!" Ron said after taking a closer look.

"If this is the map on the second floor, then?" Harry said. "Is there a bathroom on the second floor?"

"Looks like... no. Um, wait, like there's a broken bathroom?" Ron's eyes lit up, feeling as though he had guessed something.

"But what about ghosts and pumpkins?"

"Hagrid's Pumpkin Field?"

Harry used to run to Hagrid, remembering that there was a large field of pumpkins next to Hagrid's hut, and those pumpkins were specially prepared for Halloween.

“What, then, are ghosts?”

Harry feels that his brain is not enough, and he is really not good at guessing, but he is going to try his luck on the second floor first, maybe he will meet a ghost or something. "

However, the two walked around the second floor of the castle, but they didn't encounter any ghosts.

In the end, they decided to go to the malfunctioning bathroom to see if they could find any clues.

"Can't go in."

Ron speaks to stop Harry as he reaches for the brass handle, ready to push the door open.

"What's the matter?" Harry asked in confusion.

"This is a girls' bathroom." Ron pointed to the marker and frowned. Moreover, he heard footsteps coming towards him.

"What are you going to do?"

Hermione stopped Ron and Harry, who were about to break into the malfunctioning girls' bathroom, and looked at the two of them with very strange eyes.

"We're on a treasure hunt." Harry couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and hurried back, like Hermione explaining why he went into the girls' bathroom, he didn't want to be misunderstood.

"Don't think you can do this kind of thing with an excuse. If you dare to do this, I'll tell Professor McGonagall." Hermione looked at the two of them with disgust and said, "Last semester, our college One student did this and was almost expelled from the school."

Harry and Ron opened their mouths, not knowing what to say.

"I hope next time I don't see you guys packing your bags and getting out?"

With that, Hermione turned and left.

"Really?" Harry asked innocently.

"How did I know, what do I do now?" Ron looked at Harry uneasily. If he was fired for this, his mother would definitely kill him.

"I'll go in by myself!" Harry gritted his teeth and said, "You bring it here, and remind me when someone comes."

"Forget it, I'll go in with you!" Ron didn't want to stay outside, what if he was misunderstood?

As soon as the two pushed the door into the girls' bathroom, they encountered a crying Myrtle.

"I think the ghost should be referring to her." Ron said to Harry, pointing to the ghost girl in front of him.

"I know I'm dead, you don't have to tell me again." The crying Myrtle stared at the two students who had trespassed on her turf.

"Do you know where the treasure is?" Harry asked straight to the point~IndoMTL.com~ He really didn't want to be here any longer if he could.

"Oh, yes, yes. Someone once told me that if anyone came here looking for something, tell him 'Fifteen.'" The crying Myrtle suddenly giggled.

"What do you mean?" Ron asked in confusion.

"I don't know," Myrtle said happily.

"Who told you to say that?" Harry asked curiously, telling the ghost that it must be the creator of the treasure map.

"A handsome boy." Myrtle giggled. "He wouldn't let me tell anyone his name."

After speaking, the ghost floated away.

"What do you think fifteen means?"

"We'd better get out of here," said Ron uneasily. "Don't let anyone see us in the girls' bathroom."

Harry also thought that Ron had a point. As soon as they walked out of the girls' bathroom, they heard footsteps coming towards them again.

The two of them couldn't help but look up, only to find that they were acquaintances.

"Harry, Ron, what are you doing here?" George looked up at the room they had just come out of and raised his eyebrows

"What are you doing in the girls' bathroom?" Fred asked in surprise.

"No no, we!"

"Okay, I get it, you guys hurry up and don't let anyone else see it," interrupted Albert, "I remember last year Marcus McLaggen pretended to be stupid and tried to break in. The girls' bathroom, and the girls got caught, and the reputation was bad, and no girl wanted to date him anymore." Lee Jordan looked like you're going to learn a lesson.

"This... we are not..."

The two were blushing, not knowing what to say for a while.
