Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 569: Farce

"What's wrong?"

Katrina heard the sound from the door and looked up suspiciously at Albert and Isobel who hurried back to the Room of Requirement, wondering what they were doing.

Albert ignored Katrina, took out a piece of parchment from the pocket of his robe, and unfolded it to confirm the exact location of Ginny Weasley at the moment.

If the basilisk is released from the Chamber of Secrets, Ginny Weasley will definitely be near the basilisk.

However, the situation is not quite what Albert thought, Ginny Weasley was in the Gryffindor common room at this time, not wandering in Hogwarts Castle.

So it's just a farce

Albert breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the detection ball was just an experiment, so it wouldn't be surprising if something happened.

Isobel stared at the ink-dotted footprints on the map on Albert's hand, wondering what she was thinking.

Then, she saw Albert pull out another more detailed map, the Marauder's map that she had seen before. Albert unfolded the Marauder's map and carefully inspected the corridors around the Room of Requirement, finding no footprints of any creatures.

The absence of footprints does not mean that there are no creatures around.

At least, as far as Albert knows, animals without names don't seem to work. Those spiders, mice, and cockroaches without names can't be displayed on the Marauder's map.

Only pets like Filch's cat, or other students who have named pets, will appear on the Marauder's Map.

Albert is also not sure if the basilisk has a name of his own.

However, one thing is certain, Voldemort's diary cannot be displayed on the map. To a certain extent, Tom's state is worse than ghosts, or even the most humble wandering spirits.

Albert doesn't know if the basilisk has a name, but seeing Ginny Weasley in the common room, you can probably be sure it was just a false alarm.

Just, why did the detection ball react just now?

Albert returned his gaze to the detection ball, which completely disappeared after entering the Room of Requirement.

"Sure enough, is it Oolong?"

It is said that the detection range of a sight glass is a mile in a radius, and the detection range of a pocket sight glass should not be so wide. And the detection ball in his hand is purely a product made by imitating a speculum.

Well, if that's the case then that's clear.

Although Albert thinks this is just forced self-comfort, he really can't find any other reasonable explanation at this time.

Anyway, the fact that Ginny Weasley wasn't walking outside really reassured him a lot.

Of course there are other possibilities. Perhaps, the Hogwarts Castle pipelines extend in all directions, and the Basilisk was moving in the pipeline just now, but only appeared very close to Albert and was caught by the detection ball.

The entrance to the secret room is not only in the bathroom on the second floor.

Honestly, that's unlikely.

Otherwise Tom wouldn't have controlled Ginny Weasley to enter Slytherin's secret room from the entrance of the girls' bathroom on the second floor. Weeping Myrtle often moves there and enters, and you need to specially select the one where Myrtle is not there. when.

"Are you all right?" Isobel asked worriedly.

"It's fine." Albert shook his head and said, "It's probably a false alarm. This thing really needs to be improved."

"What are you doing?" Katrina looked at the two who were whispering together.

"It's nothing, let's go back first." Albert took a deep breath and pulled up Isobel's soft palm, exhorting, "Also, it's better not to run around."

Speaking of Albert leaving the Room of Requirement with Isobel. The detection ball began to heat up again, and finally cracked in the middle, completely broken.

Albert was immediately speechless.

He kind of understands why he didn't get the skill panel certification after he made this thing.

"Need to fix the basilisk problem soon."

Albert admires the ignorant, and sometimes ignorance is a blessing.

"Sure enough, it's all Tom's fault."

As soon as I returned to the lounge, I saw Kenneth Toler hurried over to ask about the amulet.

"I've already made the sample, don't sell this." Albert took out the bracelet and handed it to Kenneth, who looked up and down after knotting it, which was a little different from the European style, but as long as If you look at it, you will feel that this thing is actually very good.

"Wearing it can reflect the curse, which is a bit like casting without a staff. It should also have a banishing effect on ordinary dark creatures, but don't expect the effect to be strong. And..." Albert said in a low voice, "I It is estimated that it has no effect on the monsters in the secret room."

"No, if it does what you say, this thing would be awesome." Kenneth Toler looked excited and couldn't wait to test the amulet.

"Can I get someone to test it?"

"Yes, but you can't sell it for less than 10 Galleons, or you will lose money." After giving Kenneth Toler some tips, Albert began to look around for Ginny Weasley's location. .

Ron's sister is in the corner of the lounge, wondering what one is doing.

Albert sat in the empty seat next to Ginny, looked at the red-haired girl who was startled by him, and asked gently, "Are you okay."

Speaking, he took out a piece of chocolate and put it in front of Ginny, and said to the hesitant girl, "Have something sweet to make you feel better."

"Thank you."

Ginny's hands trembled a little, took the chocolate, unwrapped it, put it in her mouth, and said thank you again.

"If you often have nightmares, go to Madam Pomfrey and get some medicine to make you feel better." Albert's tone was calm, his eyes fell on the blank diary on the table, and he quickly moved again. opened sight.

In the open space, Kenneth Toller is looking for someone to test the bracelet, which can bounce back the effect of the curse, immediately arousing the idea of ​​​​the students in the lounge.

Kenneth quickly became the center of attention.

"Look at that guy Kenneth's showing off."

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan approached Albert with a bit of disdain for Kenneth's actions, which were left over from their play.

"Are you all right Ginny, you don't look good."

"Percy says you have nightmares a lot."

"I'm fine." Ginny closed the notebook in a panic, Albert's sharp eyes, noting that the first page was written in indistinct ink: Tom Riddle ~IndoMTL.com~ You Say, He Can Sell out how much. ' asked George curiously.

"This thing is very expensive, I don't think I can sell a few."

"Actually, if this thing can be sold outside, it is estimated to be more valuable." Albert suddenly said, "After all, most of the students are relatively poor."

"Aren't you afraid of his imitation?" George suddenly said, "That guy has a dark history."

"Don't be afraid, even if he finds someone to imitate it successfully, it's probably an inferior product."

Albert doesn't care about this. The bracelet is a collection of his knowledge, involving many fields. Alchemy is not so simple. The more in-depth communication with Nicole Lemay, the more he agrees with this. point.

When Kenneth came to Albert after his performance, he ordered two amulets, each priced at 15 Galleons.

"It's a good deal. But would anyone really want to pay for it?"

Ron, who heard the conversation between the two, murmured.

George looked at the dumbfounded Ron, reached out and patted her on the shoulder and said, "That's the power of knowledge."

"Albert is really powerful." Hermione also witnessed the effect of the curse being bounced back just now, and couldn't help but sigh, "However, is this thing really effective against monsters in the secret room?"

"I ordered one too," Harry said suddenly.

"Harry, what did you buy this for?" Hermione asked in confusion.

"Next time, if there's a conflict with Malfoy, I'll be able to use the talisman to deflect his curse and then take the opportunity to give him a hard lesson" Harry felt prescient.
