Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 458: A helping hand

The castle hall was filled with laughter as everyone celebrated the successful conclusion of the wizarding card game.

Hermione and Ron sat in the crowd, sipping butterbeer and talking about the game just now.

"Where's Harry?" Hermione realized that Harry didn't know where to go.

"I saw him leaving the hall in a hurry just now." It was Neville who answered Hermione.

Hermione and Ron looked at each other, put down their wine glasses, and walked out of the hall.

They soon found Harry, the savior who was sneaking around the corner, not knowing what to do.

Ron walked over with Hermione, reached out and patted Harry on the shoulder, asking, "Harry, what are you doing here?"

Harry was startled, and when he turned his head, he was relieved to see Hermione and Ron.

"What's wrong?"

Hermione stretched her head to look around the corner, but saw nothing, her face even more puzzled.

"Shh!" Harry hurriedly made a shush gesture, raised his finger to a classroom not far away, and explained, "I suspect that Snape is pressuring Professor Quirrell again to make him Professor Luo told him about the mechanism that protects the Philosopher's Stone."

"You mean..." Ron had a shocked look on his face.

"What are you going to do?" Hermione looked disturbed too.

"We have to do something!" Harry said firmly.

"But... what should we do?" Ron couldn't come up with a good idea.

"Maybe, we should interrupt them," Hermione suggested.

"If we did that, Snape would definitely find an opportunity to deduct points from Gryffindor House hard." Harry didn't forget that Snape had just deducted 10 points from Gryffindor.

"But we can't do nothing," said Hermione, frowning. "If Professor Quirrell can't hold it..."

"You're right," Harry gritted his teeth. "We can't leave Professor Quirrell alone under Snape's pressure, we must support him..."

"This is really a

Bad decision, isn't it, Potter. A calm voice sounded from behind them, "You will cause us to lose a lot of points by doing this. I dare say that if other people know about it, they will definitely not give you a good look." "

The three of them were startled by the sudden sound, and they quickly turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that Albert did not know when they appeared in the three of them

Behind.

"When did you..."

Hermione was interrupted by Albert raising her hand before she could finish her sentence.

"When Potter was about to rush in to disrupt the situation," Albert said softly, "courageously, but also reckless and stupid."

"Then you said what should we do!" Harry felt inexplicably irritable, knowing that he should act as soon as possible. Ron was sneakily elbowing Harry, not wanting his friend to get into a stalemate with Albert.

Albert is a nice person to get along with.

Of course, if you have a bad face, don't expect the other person to give you a good look.

"This is for you!"

Albert took out the deformed lizard belt and pulled a mouse-like object from it.

"Pull the tail, it will move on its own, and after about fifteen seconds, it will make a loud noise, good luck." Albert handed Harry the bait mouse he had tried a while ago.

"Remember to cover your ears."

Speaking, he made a gesture of covering his ears and said mysteriously: "Remember to keep it secret."

Harry looked suspiciously at the simulated mouse in his hand, then looked up at Albert, who turned away, and when he looked at Hermione and Ron, Hermione had snatched the bait mouse from his hand and pulled the mouse away. Snapped the mouse's tail and threw it to the ground.

That thing really looked like a mouse, running forward and sneaking into the classroom where Snape and Quirrell were.

A few seconds later, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were stunned by a harsh sound and a choking smoke coming from the classroom.

In the end, Hermione was the first to come back to her senses and hurriedly pulled Harry and Ron away.

As soon as the three of them left, there was an angry swearing sound from the classroom where Snape and Quirrell were sitting. The two rushed out of the classroom and looked around to find the culprit behind it all.

However, they got nothing.

Snape also realized that the two sides couldn't talk anymore, looked at Quirrell's back, and returned to the classroom to inspect the crime scene and look for the traces left by the murderer.

Minutes later, Snape discovered the culprit, a tattered bait rat that really looked like a rat.

When Snape grabbed the mouse's tail and picked it up from the ground, the mouse's few intact heads suddenly exploded, and black smoke enveloped Snape, making him covered in dust , looks extremely embarrassed.

"Damn, if I knew who did it, I'd have to fire him." Snape, coughing dryly, walked out of the classroom cursing.

Wait for Harry, Ron and Hermione were stunned by the effect of Albert's joke props when they saw Snape go away in embarrassment.

Harry couldn't close his mouth in shock. It was the first time he had seen Snape so embarrassed.

"Fantastic." Ron finally burst out laughing after Snape disappeared around the corner.

"I don't know if Albert still has this," Harry muttered.

"Don't think about it, even if there is one, it will definitely cost money to buy it." Hermione hadn't forgotten about the newsletter bookmarks.

"Oh, hopefully this isn't too expensive," Harry murmured. Last time Harry got Galleons at Gringotts, there's a lot left to spend.

Ron opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

……

Albert was completely unaware that he had an additional customer, he was checking his panel quests, and the quest for "Helping Hands" was 1/5 completed.

As expected, I was able to get the task from the trio.

Albert was in a very happy mood, and when he looked up, he happened to meet Isobel's eyes, and shrugged with a smile: "Okay~IndoMTL.com~ I admit, I really don't like Snape. If I can give It would be better if our Potions Professor had some trouble."

"Snape will be Legilimency." Isobel reminded kindly, "Harry Potter and his two friends don't have Occlumency, once Snape deliberately peeks into their brains, you I can't hide it."

"I know, but so what, it's not the first time Snape has troubled me." Albert's tone was calm, he really didn't like Snape, and this matter still When it comes to missions, he doesn't mind giving Snape some unexpected surprises.

Although the quest reward of "Helping Hand" is not high, it can effectively increase the trio's favorability by 15 points after completion, which is beneficial to his future planning.

After the two entered the Room of Requirement, Isobel suddenly said, "I always feel like you're planning something!"

I'm investing in the future, you probably don't know, I used to want to be a..."

"Well, it's not the first day we met." Isobel interrupted, "I think you're doing something very dangerous."

"Why do you think so."

"Harry Potter is the savior." Isobel looked into Albert's eyes and said, "He represents trouble in itself, especially when it comes to Potter, I don't think that the one in the restricted area on the fourth floor It was purely accidental that this treasure was there."

"Well, as expected of Isobel." Albert admired Isobel's keen intuition.

"Stop talking about that." Isobel said with a smile, "I won the wizarding card competition and helped you promote another wave of wizarding cards, should you give me some rewards?"

"What prize do you want..." Before Albert could finish speaking, his mouth was gagged.
