"Cheers to the test results!"

Under the beech trees by the Black Lake, Albert and his party, who had just finished their final exams, were clinking glasses with cold butterbeer to celebrate the fact that everyone had finally gotten rid of the stuffy classroom and the shadow of the final exam.

Half a glass of butterbeer was swallowed, and most of the June heat dissipated, and a breeze blew from the lake, bringing a hint of coolness.

"You say, how many years has that big squid in the black lake lived!" Fred looked at the big squid lying in the warm shallow water and found a topic casually.

"Hundreds of years?"

"Ordinary animals can't live that long, right?"

The three looked at Albert in unison, waiting for each other's answer.

"Who knows?"

Albert lay on the chaise longue conjured by the Transfiguration Charm and yawned lazily, "The big squid must have lived for many years, and I doubt if it was the pet that the Big Four kept in the Black Lagoon in the first place." ”

"Possibly, I heard that the big squid doesn't hurt Hogwarts students, and if they accidentally fall overboard while crossing the lake, it will send students to the boat. Lee Jordan said as he gently flicked its tentacles with a branch, and the tentacles of the big squid patted the lake and splashed Lee Jordan all over the water.

Fred and George couldn't help but laugh at this scene.

"Animals don't live that long. Fred didn't believe Albert.

"Yes, the phoenix can do it. Albert reminded.

All three couldn't help but roll their eyes.

"Except for the phoenix?"

"The basilisk may also live for a long time. Albert said mysteriously.

"Basilisk, what's that?"

"In a very old Hogwarts book, it is recorded that in our country there are many terrible beasts and monsters, the most bizarre and deadly of which is the basilisk, also known as the Serpent King. The snake can become very large, usually living for hundreds of years, and it hatches from a male egg from a toad. ”

"You actually memorized the contents of the book. Fred looked at Albert in shock and couldn't help but mutter, "How idle are you!"

"Is there something wrong with what you're concerned about? Albert was speechless.

"It is from a male egg, from a ...... The toad hatched?" George felt strange.

"Well, the basilisk is a magical creature created by a dark wizard, and its lethality is amazing, and I heard that the basilisk's glare can kill, and anyone who is stared at by it will die instantly. Albert's eyes widened deliberately, "It's like this." ”

"Can a basilisk stare at a dead man?" the three of them clearly didn't believe it.

"Probably, I'm not sure. Albert continued, "That's the last time I looked up the eight-eyed spider, the basilisk likes to eat spiders, and it's a natural predator of the eight-eyed spider. ”

"Do you think the giant squid is also a magical creature created by a wizard?" said Lee Jordan, who understood what Albert meant.

"Well, I think the big squid may be a magical creature created by the Big Four, who placed it in the Black Lagoon as a strong line of defense for Hogwarts. Albert thought for a moment and said, "If someone were to cross the lake and attack Hogwarts, they would be attacked by a large squid on the surface of the lake and capsize, and all of them would sink to the bottom of the lake to feed the fish. ”

"Why do you think that?" asked George, curious.

"The Eight-Eyed Spider was created to protect the sorcerer's dwelling or treasure, and other monsters that are usually created by magic are also created for this purpose. ”

"Alright, don't fool us. Fred couldn't help but roll his eyes, a look on his face that didn't think we would be fooled.

"Didn't you notice that the terrain around Hogwarts Castle was easy to defend?" Albert also knew that the three of them didn't pay much attention to these things, so he just told them about it as a joke.

"The castle also has a large number of knightly statues, knightly armor, and when necessary, wizards can use magic to drive them and turn these things into the most loyal soldiers against invasions from the outside. ”

"It seems to make sense. The three of them said casually.

"That era is called the Dark Middle Ages, do you say it is dangerous?" Albert didn't care, and continued: "There were probably fewer wizards in that era than we do now, and there was no order. If a Muggle army attacked the castle, the wizards would not be able to stop it. ”

"Muggles will attack Hogwarts?" the three of them were stunned.

"Of course, it could be other dark creatures, or evil wizards, a thousand years ago, the world was not very safe. Albert put away his dull tone and said with a smile, "However, I have not found any record of a war at Hogwarts in the historical documents. ”

"So, what you said just now is fooling us again?"

All three of them couldn't help but roll their eyes, knowing that they had been deceived by Albert again.

"It's just speculation!"

"Without any futile speculation, when are we going to find Gryffindor's secret treasure?" Fred asked in a low voice as he looked around to make sure there was no one around.

"Tomorrow morning!" added Albert, "ride a broomstick." ”

"Riding a broomstick?" The three of them looked at each other, originally they all thought they were going to go deep into the Forbidden Forest, but they didn't expect Albert to actually plan to fly through the sky on a broomstick.

"Otherwise, you're still going to break into the Forbidden Forest and fight the Eight-Eyed Spider?" Albert was speechless, it was too stupid to try to cross the Forbidden Forest from the ground, he didn't think of taking the risk in the first place.

"Then what is the purpose of the magic confrontation that we have been practicing for so long?" Li Jordan couldn't help but complain, "and the spell against the eight-eyed giant spider." ”

"To ensure the safety of my own life, of course. Albert stated his plan: "Let's ride a broomstick to the vicinity of the secret treasure guide, and then slowly look for it when we lower the altitude. ”

"We were stupidly preparing to walk through the forest. George felt that he and Fred were so stupid at that time, why didn't they even think about flying overhead!

"Back then, we didn't have broomsticks!" Fred protested.

"What should I do!" asked Lee Jordan hurriedly. Of the four, he alone did not have a broomstick.

"Let George carry you then. Fred grinned and threw the trouble to his brother, and Albert would not have the time or energy to spare it.

"Stupid, doesn't Albert still have a silver arrow?" George admired his quick wit, "of course Lee Jordan will follow us on a broomstick." ”

"I won't fall down suddenly," Lee Jordan said worriedly, "After all, it's an old antique!"

"Probably not, even if you fall, I will catch you as soon as possible!" Albert casually comforted.

"You don't want to comfort anyone, just shut your foul mouth!" Lee Jordan complained, "I don't want to experience what it's like to fall off a broomstick." ”
