Albert picked up the package from Hagrid and returned to the common room with his roommates.

As soon as Lee Jordan got through the hole, he reached out and took the package from Albert and asked, puzzled, "What are you going to do with these things?"

"Garlic cross. Albert was going back to the dormitory first.

"You're going to make that?"

"Stupid, Albert even managed to make a protective bracelet. Fred looked at the two of them with an idiotic gaze, "Why do you think he wouldn't make a garlic cross?"

"Of course I do. George muttered.

No one wants to admit that they are stupid.

After the four of them hurried back to the dormitory, Lee Jordan immediately took down the garlic hanging by the window to dry.

"First of all, the garlic is peeled and then mashed into garlic and soaked in alcohol, so that the allicin in the garlic is mixed into the alcohol. Albert recalled how to make it and continued, "In the meantime, by the way, the cross made of the Dharma Protector Tree was thrown into it, and the process probably took ...... One day. ”

"Do what you say. Fred began to help peel the garlic.

George took out the mortar he had used in Potions class and prepared it to mash the peeled garlic.

"No, I have a better way. Albert hurriedly raised his hand to stop George, and under the watchful eyes of the three of them, he used his wand to transform a newspaper into a simple garlic press.

All three of them came over and looked in amazement at Albert's transfiguration artifact, asking in unison, "What is this?"

"Garlic press. Albert explained casually. He puts the peeled garlic in a garlic press, presses it directly into the garlic paste, and then puts the garlic paste into a jar.

"Good stuff. George's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the garlic press from Albert, saying that he was willing to help press the garlic.

After ten minutes of drumming, they finally crushed all the garlic into garlic puree.

"What's next?" asked Lee Jordan, looking at the crushed garlic in the jar.

"Pour alcohol into the garlic paste. Albert stirred the glass rod to thoroughly mix the alcohol with the garlic and sealed the jar.

"Is that good?" all three of them felt a little unbelievable, and it seemed simpler than they thought.

"Well, let's wait until tomorrow to deal with it. Albert sniffed garlic in the air and frowned slightly, "Next time, remember to remind me not to mess with these things in the dorm." ”

"I was suddenly looking forward to what kind of alchemy props would be made this time. George was a little excited, this was the first time he had been involved in making alchemy props.

"Alchemy...... Props?"

Albert still didn't tell them in the end that the so-called garlic cross was not an alchemical tool at all.

Sure enough, don't break the children's dreams of innocence.

The next steps are tedious, such as melting the beeswax in warm water, adding alcohol separated from the garlic to the beaker, adding an appropriate amount of olive oil, and throwing the cross that had been soaked in alcohol for a day to boil.

Of course, they don't dare to do these things in their dorms, and if they make the whole dorm smell of garlic, how will they sleep in the future?

The next day, Albert moved the crucible to the shore of the lake, and the strong smell of garlic that overflowed during cooking made several curious students in the neighborhood shy away.

"If anyone wears this thing, they probably won't want to have a girlfriend in their life. Albert pinched his nose and used a clip to pull out the garlic-scented cross from the beaker.

"Would anyone really want to wear such a?" was the first to doubt this.

"I'm more curious about whether this thing really works?" Fred didn't want to get too close.

"I guess it's the smell of the enemy. George stepped back a little and muttered, "I didn't expect the smell to be so smoky." ”

There was no way around it, who asked Albert to do it several times, condensing all the essence of the garlic they grew and the garlic brought by several people.

"Do we want to give this to Filch?" Fred suggested, not forgetting to get revenge on Filch.

"Filch will definitely throw it away. Albert directly rejected Fred's proposal, and if this kind of thing was given to Filch, the other party must have thrown it away, which was a complete waste of everyone's labor.

"If you want to get revenge on Filch. Albert pointed to another small bottle and whispered, "The residual beeswax also smells of garlic, you can apply it to the corner of Filch's office, I'm sure it will give Filch an unexpected surprise." ”

"That's a good idea!" the twins' eyes lit up, and they quickly picked up the bottle and opened it, only to choke on the smell of beeswax.

"I'll get it after the year-end dinner. Albert did not forget to remind.

"We know what to do. The twins looked at each other and smiled wickedly.

"Alright, pack your things, let's go find Hagrid. ”

"What are you doing with Hagrid?" asked Fred and George warily.

"Of course, to test whether the amulet we made was effective in banishing the dark creatures. Albert rightly said, "Hagrid must know where to find dark creatures that are not very dangerous. ”

"Oh, yes. "All three can understand.

After all, after the amulet is completed, it is natural to find a subject to experiment whether it is effective.

Albert took out a piece of rope made of a unicorn's tail and used it to make a necklace through the hole in the cross, "Which of you is going to wear it and try it?"

"Forget it!" George shook his head.

"Do you want to smoke us to death?" Fred couldn't help but roll his eyes at Albert.

Lee Jordan even pretended he hadn't heard.

Seeing that the three of them shook their heads in unison and refused, Albert was a little disappointed and stuffed the garlic cross back into the jar, and plugged the mouth of the bottle to isolate the strong smell of garlic.

Packing up their tools, the four of them made their way to Hagrid's hut.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Hagrid, who was handling the hides in front of the hut, smelled the strong smell of garlic on the four of them from afar, and couldn't help but wrinkle his nose and look at them with disgust.

"Garlic cross. Albert shook the wide-mouth glass bottle in his hand and asked with a smile, "We just finished the amulet, come to you to see if there are any dark creatures that can let us test the effect of the amulet." ”

"Garlic cross, what's that?" Hagrid took the jar and opened it, sneezing several times from the smell of garlic coming out of it.

"A garlic-scented amulet that protects the user from the dark creatures. ”

"I don't know if you can protect the user from the dark creatures, but as long as you bring this with you, I don't think any vampire will want to come within ten steps of you. Hagrid couldn't help but complain, remembering the alcohol and beeswax he had sent to Albert earlier, and probably guessing what was going on.

"Do vampires really hate the smell of garlic?" Albert asked curiously.

"Yes, garlic is as disgusting as a dung pit for vampires. Hagrid explained dryly, "Still, I think even if you're not a vampire, you're as far away from this thing as you can get, it smells ...... Very bad. ”

"That'...... What about the creatures of darkness?" Fred couldn't help but ask.

"You don't want to go into the woods with this, do you?" Hagrid stared at the Weasley brothers warily, it was normal for him to have such thoughts, who let these two guys in front of him sneak into the woods so often.

"No, we don't want to go into the woods for a while, it's too dangerous, and it scared us enough last time. Fred hurriedly clutched his chest and said, he also secretly raised his foot and kicked George next to him, who immediately understood, and quickly agreed that he would not enter the forest again.

Hagrid stared at Fred and George suspiciously, apparently not quite believing their assurances.

"I don't have any dark creatures here, but I know where they are, come with me!" said Hagrid, leading the four of them along the edge of the woods toward Professor Kettleber's hut.

Professor Sivanos Kettleber, who protects magical creatures, currently lives on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, where his carefully raised treasures live.

It is said that the school's Conservation of Magical Creatures class also takes place in a clearing near Professor Kettleber's hut.

While Hagrid was bringing Albert and the others over, Professor Kettleber was feeding the snake birds with the Flober caterpillars.

"Hagrid, is there something wrong?" asked Professor Kettleber, looking up.

"Oh, yes, there are a couple of students who made an amulet, hopefully...... Hope to be able to borrow your Grindillo to test the effect of the amulet. Hagrid glanced at Albert behind him and spoke.

"Amulet, I guess it's garlic, right?"

Professor Kettleber looked at the new students behind Hagrid, and he could smell a strong smell of garlic from afar.

"It's this amulet, Professor Kettleber. Albert handed the bottle containing the garlic cross to Professor Kettleber.

I have to admit that this is a delicate work of art.

At least, it doesn't look ugly.

"Oh my God!" Professor Kettleber finally knew what the garlic smell was on several people, "don't open it up here, my little darling doesn't like it very much." ”

"Do you think it will protect me from the dark creatures?" Albert asked quickly.

"I'm afraid the effect can only be considered average. "Some organisms do not like the taste of garlic and instinctively stay away from it, but this is not absolute. ”

"Isn't it okay to make it from the branches of the Dharma Protector Tree?"

"Yes, I guess this thing might work for vampires, but ...... Don't expect too much from the rest. Having said that, Professor Kettleber lent them a Grindillo, and as soon as Albert pulled the cross out of the bottle, the hapless Grindillo began to move away from Albert's garlic cross, apparently choked by the smoke.

"Congratulations, this amulet almost knocked Grindillo unconscious. Hagrid pinched his nose and said angrily.

"Thanks, I didn't expect that either. Albert couldn't help but sigh, he now finally knew what the so-called amulet was.

"What are you going to do with this?" Fred couldn't help but ask.

"I'm going to make a treasure map, put it in a book in the library, and let the students who found it dig up the treasure. Albert had already figured out what to do with this thing.

"Now, this amulet is called 'Vampire Retreat'. Albert announced in public, "It's the legendary amulet that protects you from vampires." ”

When several people heard this, their faces couldn't help but twitch.

Albert could have said such a thing with the latter's cheekiness, although it was indeed possible for this amulet to drive away vampires.

"I suddenly looked forward to the fact that the guy who found the treasure map, after cracking the treasure map and digging up the treasure, found that the legendary necklace that could protect him from vampires would be this kind of thing, and I don't know what kind of expression he would show. George suddenly felt funny.

"I find you really funny. Fred muttered, "But, I like it, I just don't know if that guy will pass out of anger after all his hard work to find the treasure." ”

"I'll help too. Lee Jordan said excitedly, "Let's just say that it is a treasure hidden by generations of Hogwarts students, and I think many people will definitely be interested in it." ”

Hagrid was dumbfounded, he had no idea that Albert was going to dig a hole for the students at the school and punish them severely.

Think about the day when you are borrowing a book and you find a treasure map in the mezzanine, even if you don't believe it all, you will try to find the treasure.
