Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 393: The vampire is gone
The matter of the treasure map still haunts Harry in the end, and it's really just one last point to find the treasure of that treasure map.
However, the treasure map did not mark the location of the treasure, which made Harry feel inexplicably irritable, and it was almost the last point.
Ron has been nagging his guesses by the side, but he can't provide any real help. Instead, it disturbs Harry's thoughts and makes him very depressed.
After a few days of contemplation, Harry finally came up with a possibility, which was to take fifteen steps around Hagrid's pumpkin patch.
As for, why fifteen paces and not fifteen feet, or something?
Actually, it is impossible for most students to get an accurate measurement tool at all. If they take 15 steps normally, there will definitely not be too much error.
After hearing this, Ron felt that Harry must have been thinking about the treasure map, causing his own thinking to become confused and a little neurotic.
After all, these things are all Harry's conjectures.
Ron thinks the guy who made this treasure map must be a complete **** to make fun of the students who found it later.
When the rain stopped on Saturday afternoon, Harry and Ron hurried to Hagrid's hunting lodge with a treasure map to dig for the so-called treasure.
"You say there's a treasure near my pumpkin patch?"
Hagrid stopped pouring their tea after hearing Harry's excited remarks. He put down the copper pot, stretched out his hand and took the treasure map that Harry handed over. After examining it carefully, he shook his head and said, "Don't be fooled by this kind of thing, I dare to say that this so-called treasure map is definitely fake. I want to play tricks on the students who found the treasure map. If it's real, I'll eat the treasure map on the spot."
"I think it's fake too." Ron immediately echoed.
"Hagrid, do you know what the pumpkin has to do with Fifteen?" Harry ignored Hagrid's words, referring to the "Fifteen" information that the ghost girl told him.
"I don't know."
Hagrid threw a rock crust into his mouth, took a sip of his strong tea, turned his head and asked, "Didn't the ghost girl tell you anything else?"
"No," Ron replied for Harry.
Drinking hot tea, Harry turned his head to look at the pumpkin patch outside the window, then looked at the map on the table, suddenly understood something, and said loudly: "I see!"
"You know what?" Ron looked at Harry in surprise.
Hagrid also looked at Harry curiously, waiting for the second half of his sentence.
However, Harry didn't seem to intend to explain, put down the teacup and walked quickly outside the house.
Hagrid and Ron looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
The two followed Harry out, only to find Harry counting the stone steps outside the pumpkin patch.
Yes, stone steps.
They had just come to Hagrid's hunting lodge through this winding stone-stairs path.
And Hagrid's pumpkin patch is right next to Hagrid's hunting lodge. If anything goes along with Fifteen, the Fifteenth Step obviously goes along with that.
"Harry, did you find anything?" Ron came to Harry's side and couldn't help asking.
"No." Harry stood on the fifteenth step and looked around, trying to find the suspected burial site of the treasure. He was a little depressed because there was no such thing as a treasure.
"Harry, do you think the treasure will be there?" Ron suddenly pointed to a place and shouted. In his field of vision, there was a strange branch stuck on the ground, showing its upper half.
"Yeah, maybe it's there, I'm sure that's the treasure mark." Harry ran over excitedly, feeling like he might have actually found the treasure.
Hagrid reached out and plucked the branch from the ground, glanced at it, and threw it aside, then took the shovel and helped Harry dig the soil.
Sure enough, a wooden box the size of a palm was buried under the branch.
"Haha, I didn't expect to find the treasure." Harry excitedly picked up the box from the soil, wiped the damp soil bag on it, and opened the wooden box.
Ron and Hagrid also put their heads together to see what the legendary treasure was.
In the wooden box is a small bottle.
"What's this?" Ron reached for the beeswax-sealed bottle, looked closely, and said to Harry, "There seems to be something in the bottle."
"Like a cross?"
Harry took the bottle, looked at it carefully, and said uncertainly, "What are those things that look like sealing wax inside?"
"Would you like to open it?" Hagrid asked tentatively.
"Harry, there's still this in the wooden box." Ron picked up a piece of copper that read: The Vampires Are Back.
"The vampires are gone?"
Harry took the copper sheet and read it carefully, and it really was just these few words. He looked at Hagrid beside him in confusion and asked, "Have you ever seen a vampire?"
"Have seen and dealt with them. To be honest, most vampires are not very friendly. However, I think this cross charm should be prepared for vampires." Hagrid said his own Guess, and ask Harry if he wants to open the bottle ~IndoMTL.com~Open it! ' said Harry. He was also curious about what amulet was inside to keep vampires away?
"I will."
When Ron opened the bottle, several people in the room smelled a very terrible pungent smell that poured out of the bottle and made people want to vomit.
"Ouch, vomit, what the **** is this!"
After Ron smelled the strange smell, he squatted beside him and started retching. Even Harry, who stepped back to the side, felt a little nauseous.
"Seal it up," Hagrid yelled.
Harry immediately stepped forward and re-corked the bottle that Ron had thrown on the ground, so that the smoky smell faded a little.
"Don't tell me, the so-called vampire retreat is to smoke the vampires away with the smell of garlic that kills people." Harry gasped and complained.
"It's possible!" said Ron with a lingering fear.
"I'm sure no one wears such a frightening talisman," Hagrid couldn't help muttering.
"Professor Quirrell, maybe Professor Quirrell has one on his body, don't forget, Professor Quirrell has a very strong smell on his body." Ron suggested, "Or, let's get rid of this 'vampire'. 'For Quirrell?"
After all, Professor Quirrell did say that he was a little worried about vampires coming to trouble him, so he made himself smell weird, maybe he'd need this.
Of course, Ron was actually terrified of Harry's brain twitching, ready to wear this weird-smelling amulet and make his friend smell weird.
"Well, I think he'll need this." Harry nodded, obviously agreeing with Ron's proposal, after all, it's useless for them to take this so-called treasure, it's better to let him have the people he needs. Play some residual heat on.
