Chapter 393: The Vampire Retreats

After all, Harry was still haunted by the treasure map, and it was really the last point that he could find the treasure of the treasure map.

However, the treasure map did not mark the location of the treasure, which made Harry feel inexplicably irritated, and it was clear that he was close to the last point, and it would be very unfortunate to fall before he succeeded.

Ron kept nagging about his speculation, but he couldn't really help, which disturbed Harry's mind and made him very depressed.

After a few days of contemplation, Harry finally came up with the possibility of taking fifteen steps around Hagrid's pumpkin patch.

As for why fifteen steps, not fifteen feet, or something else?

In fact, it is impossible for most students to get an accurate measuring tool, and if they walk 15 steps normally, there will definitely not be much error.

After hearing this, Ron felt that Harry must have been thinking about the treasure map, causing his mind to become confused and a little nervous.

After all, it was all Harry's guess.

Ron felt that the guy who made this treasure map must have been trying to trick the students who later found the treasure map, and he was a complete bastard.

When the rain stopped on Saturday afternoon, Harry and Ron hurried to Hagrid's hunting lodge with the treasure map to dig up the so-called treasure.

"You say there's treasure near my pumpkin patch?"

Hagrid listened to Harry's excited remarks, and the hand that poured them tea paused. He put down the copper kettle, reached out and took the treasure map handed by Harry, and after examining it carefully, he shook his head and said, "Don't be fooled by this kind of thing, I dare say that this so-called treasure map must be fake, and someone wants to use it to trick the students who found the treasure map." If it was true, I'd eat the treasure map on the spot. ”

"I also think it's fake. Ron immediately chimed in.

"Hagrid, do you know what pumpkins have to do with Fifteen?" Harry didn't pay attention to Hagrid's words, and spoke of the "Fifteen" message that the ghost girl had told him.

"I don't know. ”

Hagrid tossed a piece of rock skin cake into his mouth, then took a long sip of strong tea, turned his head and asked, "Didn't that ghost girl tell you anything else?"

"Nope. Ron replied for Harry.

Harry drank hot tea, turned his head to look out the window at the pumpkin patch, looked at the map on the table, suddenly understood something, and said loudly, "I know!"

"What do you know?" Ron looked at Harry in amazement.

Hagrid looked at Harry with curiosity, waiting for his second half.

Harry didn't seem to be intent on explaining, though, and put down his teacup and walked briskly out of the house.

Hagrid and Ron looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

The two of them went out with Harry, only to find Harry counting the stone steps outside the pumpkin patch.

That's right, stone steps.

It was through this winding stone path that they had just reached Hagrid's hunting lodge.

Hagrid's pumpkin patch was right next to Hagrid's hunting lodge, and if anything was said to be in line with fifteen, the fifteenth step was clearly in line with that.

"Harry, did you find anything?" Ron asked as he approached Harry's side.

"Nope. Harry stood on the fifteenth step and looked around, trying to find the suspected place where the treasure was buried. He was a little depressed because there was no such thing as a treasure at all.

"Harry, do you think the treasure is there?" Ron shouted as he suddenly pointed to a spot, and in his field of vision, a strange branch was stuck in the ground, revealing the top half.

"Yes, maybe there, I dare say it's a sign of treasure. Harry ran over excitedly, feeling that he might have found the treasure.

Hagrid reached out and plucked the branch from the ground, looked at it and tossed it aside, then took a shovel and helped Harry dig up the dirt.

Sure enough, there was a palm-sized wooden box buried under the branch.

"Haha, I didn't expect to find a treasure. Harry excitedly lifted the box out of the dirt, wiped the damp dirt from it, and opened the wooden box.

Ron and Hagrid leaned their heads over to see what the legendary treasure was.

Inside the wooden box was a small bottle.

"What is this?" Ron said to Harry after reaching for the bottle sealed with beeswax and taking a closer look, "There seems to be something in the bottle." ”

"Like a cross?"

Harry took the bottle and looked at it carefully, unsure, "What is that wax-like thing in there?"

"Would you like to open it and take a look?" Hagrid asked tentatively.

"Harry, there's this in the wooden box. Ron picked up a piece of copper that read: Vampire Disperse.

"Vampire Retreat?"

Harry took the copper plate and flipped through it, and it was indeed just those few words. He looked at Hagrid beside him in confusion and asked, "Have you ever seen a vampire?"

"I've seen them, I've dealt with them. To be honest, most vampires aren't too friendly. However, I think this cross amulet is supposed to be prepared to deal with vampires. Hagrid gave his guess and asked Harry if he wanted to open the bottle.

"Open it!" said Harry. He was also curious about what kind of amulet was in it that could drive away vampires?

"I'll come. ”

When Ron opened the bottle, everyone in the room smelled a terrible pungent smell that poured out of the bottle and made people want to vomit.

"Gow, gow, what the hell is this!"

When Ron smelled the strange smell, he half-crouched down and began to retch, and even Harry, who had stepped aside, felt a little nauseous.

"Seal it up. Hagrid yelled.

Harry immediately stepped forward and re-stuffed the bottle that Ron had thrown on the ground, and the smoky smell became a little lighter.

"Don't tell me, the so-called vampire retreat is to smoke the vampire away with that garlic smell that smokes death. Harry gasped and grumbled.

"It's possible!" said Ron, with a sigh of relief.

"I dare say no one wears this smelly, frightening amulet. Hagrid couldn't help but grunt.

"Professor Quirrell, maybe there's one in Professor Quirrell, and don't forget, there's a very strange smell in Professor Quirrell's body. Ron suggested, "Why don't we give this 'Vampire Retreat' to Quirrell?"

After all, Professor Quirrell did say that he was a little worried that the vampires would come to him for trouble, so he made himself smelly, and maybe he needed it.

Of course, Ron was actually afraid that Harry's brain would twitch, and he was ready to wear this strange-smelling amulet, and he made his friends smell weird.

"Well, I think he'll need it. Harry nodded, clearly agreeing with Ron's proposal, after all, it was useless for them to take the so-called treasure, it would be better for him to use his spare heat in the hands of those who needed it.
