Chapter 75: The Source of Confidence
As the night wore on, the Gryffindor common room was dwindling, and most of the students were busy with their homework.
"It's finally finished. Lee Jordan got up from the couch, stretched lazily, and put away the parchment with a synopsis of Gamp's basic laws of deformation. Having had the experience of the last time, the three of them no longer asked Albert to borrow homework for comparison, so as not to worry about it.
"How's the Transfiguration going?"
"No, that's the only way to go. Fred sighed lightly and showed the other party the success of his practice, the needle was really a bit ...... Well, it's thick, just turning the shape of a match into a needle.
If she couldn't turn matches into pins, Professor McGonagall wouldn't have been able to pass it.
"Come on, it's already good, if you learn Transfiguration easily, what's the point of other people's efforts?" said Albert angrily, reading the book, and there were only the last few pages left of "Selected Nineteenth Century Charms".
"Why don't you show me a look, you're making an evaluation!" Fred said angrily as he took the "needle" to Albert and shook it.
"By the way, you haven't finished reading that book yet!"
"There are only a few pages left. Albert glanced up at Fred's practice for the night, and the "needle" was really not ordinarily thick.
"How to solve this situation. Fred handed Albert the "needle".
"If you practice for a few more days, you'll definitely succeed. Albert said without thinking.
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" George couldn't help but roll his eyes, his needle was thinner than Fred's, at least barely a needle rather than a small iron rod with a point.
Fred's match conjures up nails aren't too much.
"I've been in this situation with you, too. Albert picked up his wand and conjured a pin, "You need to conjure the needle first, and then think about how to make more subtle changes to the needle." ”
"What are you going to do with this?" asked George, puzzled, after taking the pin.
"Of course, for reference, you need to conjure up a needle, but it doesn't need to be the same, it's just an ordinary needle. Albert looked at the trio, "Try again." ”
"A needle?" George muttered, he raised his wand and lit it on a match, and after reciting the incantation, a not-so-beautiful pin appeared in front of several people.
"Success?" Fred picked up the pin and looked at it, feeling incredulous.
"Too many failures and low self-confidence. "You should be a little bit confident in yourself and think you're going to succeed. ”
"And what are you going to do with this needle for me?" said George, puzzled even more.
"Distract you from thinking about your failures and give you a comparison by the way. Albert rambled casually.
"By the way, how are you learning the illusion spell?" asked George suddenly.
"Next week should be pretty much the same. Albert took a piece of candy and put it in his mouth and asked, "What are you doing here, do you want to ......?" his fingers slid through his fingers.
"yes, tonight, won't you?" Fred broke the news: "I heard that Filch has a cold, and this is a good opportunity. ”
"Don't get caught. Albert closed the book and glanced at the task list, and sure enough, the reading maniac's progress had become 1/100.
"You're not going?" asked George.
"Don't go. ”
"We misread you. Fred and George looked at Albert with an expression that they didn't expect you to be like this, and turned their heads to look at Lee Jordan, who was planned by the other party before he could open his mouth.
"Don't look at me. Lee Jordan shrugged his shoulders, clearly not wanting to go either.
"You ...... All right. The Weasley twins looked at each other and shrugged helplessly, "It seems that only the two of us are going on a night outing." ”
"If you want to go on a night trip, choose Friday, after all, you don't have classes the next day. Albert kindly reminded him that if he didn't rest at night, he would have classes the next day.
Dozing off in class, this is not to mix?
"It makes sense, it's Friday. Fred nodded.
"What did you do on Friday?" a voice sounded coldly, and Fred felt a dark shadow in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw Percy standing in front of him.
"What are you going to do on Friday?" Percy asked sharply.
"Practice Transfiguration!" George said without thinking.
"Don't think I didn't hear it. Percy glared at the twin brothers dissatisfied, and said coldly: "Night Tour, you know how many points will be deducted if Night Tour is caught." ”
George winked innocently at Percy and said, "I heard that Gryffindor hasn't won the House Cup in years. ”
"I've been staring at you two, don't mess with me. Percy was so angry that he could hear George's words.
See, everyone doesn't care if the score is or not, otherwise how could they not work hard to earn points and win the House Cup glory for Gryffindor?
Gryffindor students don't care about glory?
No, of course I do.
However, in fact, no one will take earning points for the academy seriously, so naturally they will not have a chance with the academy cup.
After all, scores don't come out of nowhere.
And the Quidditch game has been lost many times, which naturally makes it worse.
"Percy is so annoying. ”
"I think so too!"
"I'm telling you, the next time you discuss something important, find a place where no one is around!" Albert shook his head and reminded, "You are talking here, don't everyone hear that you want to go on a night trip?"
"I seem to hear someone planning to go on a night swim?" Mark walked over to this side, put his hand on Fred's shoulder, and said meaningfully, "It's a good habit, I haven't swam at night, how can I be embarrassed to call myself a Gryffindor student?"
Listening to where Mark told his brilliant deeds, the muscles at the corners of Albert's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, and he couldn't help but interject: "Caught by Filch?" No, no. ”
"I've heard that Filch knows most of the secret passages, and that he has a clever cat to keep an eye on. Albert uttered a brutal truth, "Unless you are more familiar with the castle's secret passages than Filch, it will be difficult to escape him." Or did you cast a spell on Filch?"
"Well, the Confusion Charm, it works. Mark said casually.
"Don't listen to Mark's nonsense. Erin walked over and pulled Mark away, telling them before leaving, "There's Quidditch training on Wednesday afternoon." ”
"I dare say Mark must have gone out on a date at night and was caught by Filch. Back in the dormitory, Li Jordan talked about it again.
"You're really not going with us?" Fred asked again.
"Even if you want to go on a night tour, it's not now. Lee Jordan said angrily that they had only been at Hogwarts for a short time, and that they had limited knowledge of the castle and really didn't understand Fred and George's death.
