Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 737: Add oil
Chapter 738 Add Oil
The Christmas holidays are approaching after Albert delivered the prepared Christmas gifts to the house-elves.
Christmas at Hogwarts Castle is even more intense, with twelve Christmas trees as usual in the Great Hall, holly and tinsel wrapped around the balustrades, and hanging in every section of the corridors A large bunch of mistletoe, girls like to get together under the mistletoe, expecting a romantic kiss from their dream Prince Charming.
By the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room, Fred and George were equally excited about the holiday coming. The two were discussing how to prepare an unexpected surprise for Filch on the day they boarded the Hogwarts Express and left the school.
"Where are you going for Christmas vacation?" Lee Jordan reached out and poked Tom, who was lying by the fireplace, "Going abroad for vacation again?"
"I don't plan to go anywhere, I plan to stay at home for the whole vacation."
Recently, Herb has been running around outside, so the Anderson family has no plans to go on vacation this Christmas holiday at all, and plan to stay at home for the winter.
"Oh, by the way, I asked my father to help investigate that last time, and I just received a reply not long ago."
"What?"
Fred and George apparently forgot what it was.
"Investigate the rent of the shop in Diagon Alley. It is higher than expected, and we can't find a suitable rental shop." Lee Jordan took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Albert. George said, "Unless you're willing to set up shop in those pretty bad locations. Of course, there are still quite a few shops waiting to be rented out in Fanbaoxiang, and the price is quite cheap, but you also know that the law and order there is not very good."
"What do you think should be done?"
After Fred and George looked at each other, they looked at Albert to see if the other party had a good solution to the problem.
"After waiting for two years, I believe that I can find a suitable location. At that time, the housing price will not be too expensive. You can choose a good location and buy it directly, so you should just finish the seventh grade, and don't be old. Thinking of leaving school early.
"What will happen in two years."
The three of them understood the hint in Albert's words, obviously something bad would happen in two years.
In fact, it's not the first time Albert has hinted at this.
"A while back, when I went to Hogsmeade Village, I heard Professor McGonagall talking to other professors about Sirius Black in the Three Broomsticks bar." Albert changed the subject.
"Black thing?"
All three were very interested in this matter, but considering that they were in the common room and there were a lot of people around, they didn't specifically ask Albert about the follow-up.
When he returns to the dormitory to rest, Albert will naturally share the story of Black with the three.
"Harry's father is actually good friends with Black, and Sirius Black is actually Harry's godfather?"
The three of them opened their mouths and listened to the whole thing in shock.
"Harry would be furious if he knew about it," George murmured.
"He knows." Albert threw another bombshell.
"Harry knew, how would he know?"
The three of them couldn't understand, and looked at Albert eagerly, waiting for the other party to explain to them.
"At that time, Potter was also present, he hid under the invisibility cloak, and happened to overhear the conversation between Professor McGonagall." Albert looked at the three people who gradually opened their mouths, a pair of such a coincidence. .
"There are some things that really shouldn't be said around." Lee Jordan muttered.
"I also discovered a secret."
"What secret?"
"About the identity of the maker of Marauder's Map." Albert motioned several people to keep quiet, and slowly expressed his guesses about the identity of the robbers.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan were all stunned, especially after learning that Professor Lupin was actually a werewolf, they kept mumbling something like no wonder.
"No wonder Professor Lupin calls in sick every once in a while."
"Professor Dumbledore must be crazy, how could he hire a werewolf?" Lee Jordan looked at Albert in disbelief, "Don't you know how dangerous a werewolf is? Besides, he doesn't worry about Lupin Will the professor help Black invade Hogwarts Castle?"
"I don't think Blake needs to do that." Fred made this clear. "If Blake was involved in the creation of the Marauder's Map, he could easily get in and out of Hogwarts."
"The Screaming Shack, remember the Screaming Shack? I bet it must have been Professor Lupin who hid inside and transformed into a werewolf at that time." George speculated, "It's perfectly timed."
"Since they are friends, Blake must also know about the Screaming Shack. You said he would hide in the Screaming Shack now." Fred jumped up from the bed excitedly, he thought he might find out Blake's whereabouts, "Perhaps, we should tell the Ministry of Magic about this and earn a bounty."
"It's impossible for the dementors not to check the Screaming Cabin." George shook his head, "The places around Hogwarts where people can hide must have been carefully checked by the dementors. There is no way to escape the dementors."
"I know when Black will appear." Albert said suddenly.
"What?" George asked excitedly, "Have you read it?"
"Yes, on the day that Hagrid's Hippogriff was put to death, we'd go in an ambush and catch Black, but the Dementors would come out to spoil things, and there's a lot of trouble ..."
"We caught Black?"
"If you guys want to go catch Black with me and get that big reward, you'd better hurry up and train yourself.
"We will face the Dementors?" Lee Jordan's face was a little ugly, and he understood why Albert urged them to practice the Patronus Charm.
Originally they had a similar idea, but now it has been completely confirmed. Although they have been psychologically prepared, the pressure is still very high, and the three weak Patronus cannot resist the dementors at all.
"Although the prophecy implies that we captured Black and drove away the Dementors, it doesn't mean the result. If you don't work hard, it's hard to say whether the result will come true."
Albert knows that money can make a ghost run the mill, and can use money to make the three of them have unlimited potential.
He needs other helpers to prevent any accidents.
"With this money, our store opening plan will definitely be fine." Fred said excitedly, that was 10,000 Galleons, even if they only got a thousand Galleons in the end, they would have already enough.
Albert was very satisfied with the performance of the three people, and the stimulation of interest really aroused the enthusiasm of the three.
That night, Fred, George and Lee Jordan all worked hard to practice their Patronus Charm.
The three of them worked hard all night, but the result was that they were a little lethargic the next day. Moreover, there is still no gain, which is a bit of a blow to people's confidence.
However, after Albert linked the Summoning Patronus to a slew of Galleons, Fred and George showed unprecedented enthusiasm, and even Lee Jordan was shocked.
After repeated efforts and corrections, the patron saints of Fred and George are still a silver mist, but the mist is more solid than before, making Albert have to feel Jin Galleon's charm again .
"I have to work harder, or I'm going to be a drag." Lee Jordan, seeing Fred and George working so **** the Patronus Charm, also practiced together, not wanting to be a drag.
The day when left school, the four of them chatted about the Patronus Charm in the Thestral carriage.
In fact, they've been talking about this topic for days in a row lately, almost obsessed.
Albert never doubted the potential of the three of them. As long as he continued to practice, he might be able to master the Patronus Charm earlier than Harry Potter.
After entering the village of Hogsmeade, the carriage began to slow down and finally stopped at the train station in Hogsmeade.
After people got off the train, they packed their luggage and rushed towards the open train doors.
Most of the students chose to go home for Christmas, perhaps terrified by what happened to Black, like last year's attack.
"Mom wanted to invite Harry over for Christmas, but she seemed to think it would be safer to keep Harry at school," muttered Fred.
"This is the price of being a savior!" Albert tightened the towel on his body, raised his wand and directed the luggage to be unloaded from the carriage.
"Come on, let's get on the train if something happens, I don't want to blow the cold wind here." Lee Jordan shivered and squeezed forward with his luggage.
The three of them pulled their luggage and rushed towards the door of the carriage. Several train station staff were helping everyone load the luggage onto the train.
When it was about to be Albert's turn, he suddenly felt that the air around him was colder, and he exhaled white mist, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees at once.
"Look over there, dementors, they seem to be coming this way."
I don't know who was screaming, and the noise of the entire platform suddenly stopped.
The next moment, the platform suddenly became noisy, and the crowd crowded into the carriage, as if only the carriage could keep them away from those evil monsters.
Even the platform staff who helped carry the luggage were a little flustered. For wizards who didn't master the patron saint, dementors were almost impossible to fight.
People are instinctively afraid of this monster that **** happiness and brings depression and despair to itself.
crowded, shoved, chaos in front of the carriage door.
Damn!
Albert felt that someone stepped on his foot, a luggage hurt him, and someone behind him was pushing him, almost causing him to fall.
Tom in the cage seemed to feel the restless atmosphere around him and became irritable.
Are all people at the Ministry of Magic idiots?
Don't they know the consequences of causing chaos in a place like this?
He remembered what Fudge had said in Three Broomsticks, that guy actually advocated letting the Dementors enter Hogwarts Castle to "help".
OMG!
What is a Dementor, doesn't he know?
Saying Fudge is an idiot is not wrong at all.
"Quiet, stay where you are, everyone stays where you are."
Albert put a finger on Tom's throat after casting an ear-blocking spell on Tom, and a very loud voice resounded throughout the train station.
Albert didn't expect himself to be able to stop everyone, but he could make his voice loud enough that all the students' eardrums hurt and had to raise their hands to cover their ears.
There is no doubt that this method works.
The original chaos was suppressed all at once, and everyone covered their ears in pain, wishing that someone would go and gag the mouth of the shouting guy.
Albert removed his hand from his throat, reached out to pull a fallen girl from the crowd, and at the same time pulled out his wand and fired a silver light at the dementors floating around.
The Gryphon seemed to sense Albert's emotions, and rammed directly at the Dementors, driving them away from the students.
Dementors growled angrily, seemingly annoyed that someone was getting in the way of their official duties, but they still had no intention of leaving.
Albert's Patronus looks a bit lonesome and not as powerful as he imagined. This is actually more because the summoning place is too hasty.
Fred, George, and Lee Jordan also raised their wands to try to summon the Patronus, but they could only summon a silver mist, which was of no use at all.
At this moment, a silver white fox flew into the air in the carriage, and the two patron saints suddenly kept the surrounding dementors away from the train.
"What the **** are you doing?"
Two Aurors hurried toward this side, apparently noticing what was happening here.
They never thought that someone would interfere with the dementor's routine inspection, and no one would dare to do so under normal circumstances.
After all, very few wizards master the Patronus Charm.
"I also want to ask what the **** you guys are doing." Albert handed the luggage to Fred next to him and the Tom cat cage to George. When he tried to clear the crowd, the surrounding students took the initiative. Make way for him.
Albert walked up to the young Auror and asked in a more indifferent tone than the other party: "What the **** are you doing, why did you let the dementors come here, do you intend to treat us as dementors? food?”
"These dementors are just doing business," the young Auror said in a standard tone. "You are interfering with the Ministry of Magic."
"Let the Dementors **** the joy of the students, leading to chaos, crowding, shoving, stomping on each other. Don't tell me, that's how the Ministry of Magic keeps Hogwarts students safe. ." Albert's tone couldn't help but raise a little bit, making people clearly feel his dissatisfaction, and also well aroused the emotions of others.
Sometimes ~IndoMTL.com~ lacks a leader.
The young Auror seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by another Auror as he noticed that all the students were glaring at them.
"Go away, we don't need the protection of Dementors."
I don't know who took the lead and shouted, and then someone threw something at the two Aurors, and a big **** slapped the young Auror directly.
"Fuck it! Get in the way!"
"A bunch of trash who haven't caught Black for so long."
…
The young Auror had a livid face and raised his hand to block the thrown object.
Seeing that the other party did not intend to leave, he also drew out his wand, not knowing who was hiding in the crowd and threw magic at the two Aurors.
In the commotion just now, many people were knocked and bruised, and there was nowhere to vent their anger. This is good, everyone's dissatisfaction has been detonated at once
Before the young Auror could react, the other grabbed his arm and Apparated away before more magic was thrown at them.
