Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 702: Rolling
Chapter 703 Rolling
The search of the castle continued until about three in the night, but of course nothing was found. It seemed that Blake had never broken into Hogwarts Castle.
Professor Dumbledore should have expected such a result, but he still had to let the professors search the entire castle, so that the teachers and students in the school can feel at ease, and it can also be regarded as a depressor stationed outside the school. Blame a confession.
This is a pain for the professors and prefects who searched the castle. They couldn't sleep all night, especially when they were full and sleepy, it was really difficult to hold on.
When Albert and Shanna returned to the Great Hall, everyone was asleep, except for a spirited Percy and the sleepy prefects.
Sure enough, it's better to walk outside than to stay vigil, at least you can talk to the people around you, and find an excuse to be lazy and paddling.
The prefects and student council presidents of the vigil are not allowed to go back to sleep until after dawn, and the ghosts will take their place.
As for the morning class, it was naturally cancelled.
Sir Cadogan, who temporarily took over for the Fat Lady, was a rude guy. When he saw Albert, he provoked him with rude abuse and planned to fight Albert.
"If you can get out of the painting, I'll fight you."
Albert stretched out his hand to cover his yawn. He didn't want to listen to the other party's nonsense here, and said directly, "The password is 'mongrel', now open the door."
Sir Cadogan reluctantly put them in the common room.
The four of them went back to the dormitory to rest. Since the password to enter the lounge, Nick, who was almost headless, was naturally responsible for telling the other Gryffindor students.
When Albert woke up again, it was noon.
Tom was hunched in front of the cat basin, shook his tail after hearing the movement, and continued to bury his head to eat until Albert reached out and stroked his head before he stopped eating.
"You should lose weight." Albert picked up Tom, stroked its fat belly, and muttered, "If you hadn't been raised from childhood, I would have suspected that you were a pig with hair. "
Meow!
Tom protested that Albert interrupted his meal, and tried to push Albert's hand away with the cat pad.
"Although fat cats are really good-looking, they can't be too fat. Be careful that they can't walk."
Albert let go of the fat cat and looked at Tom, who was eating again. He decided to leave Tom to the care of house-elf Bit while he was going to the magic school potion tournament, and let the house-elf take care of him. Stare at Tom and run the roller every day.
With enough exercise, Tom's fat will soon disappear.
After washing up, Albert planned to go downstairs to eat. As soon as he opened the door, he found that the common room door was crowded with Gryffindor students.
"What are you doing here?" Albert asked suspiciously.
"Thank goodness someone finally opened the door." Neville's tears were about to fall.
"He said the password was wrong and would not let us in." A senior boy said angrily, "The password in the morning was clearly still 'mongrel'."
"The password has been changed," said Sir Cadogan.
"What's the current password?" Albert asked Sir Cadogan.
"I can't tell you." Sir Cadogan refused to reveal the password to Albert.
"If you change your password, you have to tell the prefect in advance, otherwise the prefect doesn't even know it. Are you going to let everyone stay outside and stare?" Albert looked at the portrait on the door, using the command He said, "Okay, tell me what the password is now."
The door to the common room was open, but many students didn't plan to go in right away, planning to stay outside and watch Sir Cadogan deflate.
"What's the matter?" Percy saw the corridor outside the common room crowded with students, and hurried towards him.
"I was negotiating with Sir Cadogan. He seemed to have changed his password, but he didn't tell the prefect that a lot of people were blocked at the door just now." Albert said impatiently, "I am very Doubt this guy just enjoys making trouble for his students."
Many students immediately agreed and expressed dissatisfaction with the rude knight in charge of the gate.
"It's Sir Cadogan," the portrait growled at the crowd.
"Shut up."
"The password is: pony." Percy frowned and said to Sir Cadogan, "If you change the password, you should tell the prefect as soon as possible, it is your responsibility, I think Deng Professor Bledow should have told you."
"He seems to have mentioned it." Ser Cadogan pursed his lips and rode away on his pony.
"No other painting is willing to do this job," Percy explained to the resentful people, "Sir Cadogan was the only one who came forward, and it's no use complaining, we have no other choice at the moment. ."
After , Percy turned to Albert again and said, "By the way, Professor McGonagall has something for you. You'd better go to her office."
"Got it."
Albert went to Professor McGonagall's office first, as expected for the Magic School Potions Championship.
"Tonight, pack your things, someone will pick you up for the competition tomorrow morning." Professor McGonagall said straight to the point.
"Who leads the team?" Albert asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Professor Slughorn has a wealth of experience in leading teams and is willing to take you to the Potions Tournament. He was also the Potions Professor at Hogwarts, but has since retired." McGonagall The professor looked at Albert and asked, "Any other questions?"
"No more."
Albert is not hard to guess why Professor Slughorn is willing to help lead the team.
Professor Slughorn enjoys making friends with famous, successful, and powerful people.
Albert apparently echoes the first two points.
left Professor McGonagall's office and entered the hall to find that everyone was talking about how Black entered the castle.
"How many ways are there now?" Albert asked Lee Jordan, who had just sat beside him.
"I can't count," said Lee Jordan, clasping his fingers. "Most people think that Blake Apparates in."
"Apparitions are banned at Hogwarts." Albert begins making ham and sausage sandwiches for himself.
"I know, guys who say things like that just don't know enough about Hogwarts school." Lee Jordan complained, "I think they just want to get everyone's attention."
"I agree with that." Albert took a bite of the sandwich, the bacon was salty.
"Some people say that Blake flew into the school on a broom, and some people say that he disguised himself as a dementor to deceive the gatekeeper." After speaking, Lee Jordan looked at Albert who was eating a sandwich and asked, "Which one do you think it is?"
"Enter the castle through the secret passage." Albert said while eating.
"Fred and George thought so too. They went to check the secret passage to the outside of the castle early in the morning." Lee Jordan said in a voice that they could hear.
"Did you find anything?"
"I don't know, they haven't come back yet." Lee Jordan naturally knew that there were several passages to get in and out of the school, he was a little worried that Fred and George would get into trouble, and Blake might be hiding in the secret passage now.
"Don't worry, Blake must have left." Albert finished his sandwich and said to Lee Jordan, "By the way, I'm going to the Potions Championship tomorrow and have to be out of school for a while."
"When are you coming back?"
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be too long, maybe the next day."
"After you win the championship, remember to treat your guests." Lee Jordan reached out and gently tapped Albert's shoulder, "I have confidence in you."
Honestly, Lee Jordan sympathized with students from other schools who were competing against Albert. This guy is like a train, whoever gets in the way will be ruthlessly run over.
"I thought you guys helped me celebrate." Albert's tone was odd.
"You are so embarrassed to ask us to invite you, I heard that the champion can get a lot of money~IndoMTL.com~ Who said that." Albert asked.
"Fred and George."
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful we whistleblowing, we never said that." Fred and George came to their side.
"Did you find anything?" Albert asked.
"No." George shook his head, "but I still think Blake entered the castle through the secret passage."
"Would you like to tell the professors?"
“Tell them what to do?”
Fred strongly disagrees.
Albert asked Fred and George to get some chalk dust and scatter them in those hidden passages. If someone entered the school through the secret passage, they would definitely leave footprints, and then they would be able to figure out when Black started. Secret way into the school.
"You think Black will continue to invade Hogwarts." George immediately realized what Albert meant.
"Black wouldn't give up easily, or he wouldn't have been in the castle last night."
