Chapter 118: Bring the Lucky Bracelet
Weekend.
It's a sunny day, perfect for watching a Quidditch match.
At half past ten in the morning, Albert and his family set off from the castle and walked through the snow on the road to the stadium stands, where a large number of students had gathered, and everyone was talking loudly about the outcome of the game.
"Good morning, Hagrid. Albert greeted Hagrid, who was holding binoculars.
"Thank you for the hat. Hagrid patted the woollen hat on his head, "I never thought I'd get a present for Christmas. ”
"You can take it as a gift in return. Albert said with a smile.
"Return?" Hagrid asked, puzzled, "what return?"
"Dharma protector branches, unicorn tail hairs. Albert lifted his wrist, revealing a delicate white bracelet on it.
"What is this?"
"A bracelet that brings good luck, I made it out of the unicorn tail hair and the Dharma Protector tree you gave me. Albert explains with a smile, "It brings good luck to the wearer." ”
"Good luck for the wearer?" Hagrid muttered quietly, "I've never heard of unicorn tail feathers and Protector trees bringing good luck to the wearer. ”
Fred, George, and Lee Jordan couldn't help but laugh.
Let you like to fool others, now it's deflated!
Hagrid coughed lightly, "Still, you're pretty good at weaving this rope." ”
"I'm referring to the symbol above. Albert picked up two pendants polished from the Dharma Protector Tree and showed them to the three of them, with the runi symbol carved on them that Albert had shown them a while ago.
"Did you really engrave that strange symbol on it, are you sure it really works?" asked George, suspicious.
"Who knows?" said Albert, shrugging his shoulders, "maybe it will bring good luck, and it will be earned." ”
Originally, Albert had planned to make a talisman bracelet.
It's just that after several beads were broken one after another, I gave up for the time being and chose the simplest good luck symbol to engrave.
As for whether this thing can bring him good luck, Albert actually doesn't know.
Anyway, when he tried to use his own blood to activate the runi symbol on the beads, he didn't feel anything special.
It is estimated that it was a failure.
Still, Albert wore it on his body, just to verify that the Runi symbol really worked.
"Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff, does anyone want to bet?" Albert's thoughts were interrupted by shouts from several senior students walking towards him with wooden boxes for betting.
The twins seemed intent on making a bet, and Lee Jordan next to him had already pulled out a silver sie.
"Who are you betting on to win?" the three of them looked at Albert in unison.
"I'm betting on Team Gryffindor catching the Golden Snitch to win. Albert pulled out a silver jersey and made a bet.
"So do we. The three of them brushed together and handed the money to each other.
"A lot of people are betting on this, it's not a big odds, and if it is Hufflepuff to win, we're going to give three times the odds. The student said.
"No, just Gryffindor. ”
Albert didn't care if he could win or not, he just had fun, purely for the sake of an atmosphere.
"What's your name. The upperclassman pulled out his notebook and quill and looked at the others.
"His name is Albert Anderson. George replied for Albert.
"Albert Anderson. The senior scribbled some words and handed it to Albert, "After the game, we'll be at the exit, and if you win, come to us with a note." ”
Albert looked at the three roommates and said speechlessly, "You are not afraid of losing money." ”
"We trust your luck. The three of them said in unison. Since Albert gambled, although the probability is not large, they are actually willing to follow.
"My luck?" Albert couldn't help but roll his eyes, "don't blame me for losing." ”
"We won't. Fred began, "We don't think the Gryffindor team, which has been working hard, will lose. ”
"Gambling is not a good habit. Hagrid reminded with an eyebrow.
"It's just for the atmosphere, and besides, I still have this, so I'm lucky. Albert said confidently.
"I just thought you were going to bet 10 Galleons. ”
"Are you a fool for me?" Albert couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "This kind of private gambling is never reliable, if I bet 10 Galleons and win, can the other party return my winnings?"
"I guess I can't take it out. Fred thought for a moment and replied.
"Well, it seems that you know exactly what you're doing. Hagrid nodded, saying that the occasional gamble was fine.
"Last time he bet on whoever was the Minister of Magic, he would win 100 Galleons. Lee Jordan explained, "This guy's luck is a scary. ”
Hagrid's mouth opened in surprise and threw his thoughts on the ground and stomped on them.
"Ahem, Hagrid, which pair do you think will win?" Albert asked.
"Gryffindor, of course. Hagrid said angrily. "It's better not to gamble, no one can win all the time. ”
Ahem, I'm well aware of this.
In fact, Albert actually won the bet, and Gryffindor eventually beat Hufflepuff.
This exciting match lasted only an hour, and Charlie managed to catch the Golden Snitch.
"Won. ”
"Won. ”
"Ah, the note flew. ”
In the end, Hagrid reached out to help them grab the parchment, but luckily there was no wind today.
"Give the parchment to Albert, you unreliable fellow. Lee Jordan snatched the parchment from Fred and stuffed it to Albert.
"Accidents, that's just accidents. Fred sneered, and he was sweating just now.
"Thank you, Hagrid. Albert thanked Hagrid.
"You're welcome. ”
Albert and the others found the two seniors at the entrance and got them from each other, four silver westerns as a reward.
"Look, my lucky bracelet still brings me luck. Albert blinked, "Those runi symbols are still useful." ”
"You're in luck, okay!" Fred couldn't help but roll his eyes, and the winning bet put the group in a good mood.
"By the way, did you enter the forest from this side last time?" Albert asked suddenly, glancing at the nearby forest.
Fred and George's expressions froze, Hagrid was right next to him, bastard, don't mention it.
"Into the woods?" Hagrid looked at the four in front of him warily.
"Hagrid, can you take us into the woods to gain knowledge. Albert asked in the direction of the Forbidden Forest and Hagrid beside him.
"That's not going to work. Hagrid flatly refused.
Albert didn't embarrass Fred and George at all, "The two of them snuck into the woods, saying that the woods next to the school were ordinary. ”
"You ...... sure enough"
"You guy. The twins glared at Albert in unison, this guy had betrayed them so simply.
"Ahem, I've heard people say that there are many secrets hidden in the Forbidden Forest. It's up to you to take us inside for a walk and satisfy our curiosity. Albert winked at Hagrid and said, "In the future, we won't be curious about what's in that forest." ”
Hagrid was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something, before finally shaking his head in refusal.
"Can't you keep us safe?" Albert asked rhetorically.
"The school rules that students are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid said.
"Actually, I think Dumbledore's forbidding others to enter the woods would arouse the curiosity of the students. Albert blinked, "As far as I know, a lot of people have already crept into the woods. ”
"A lot of people?" Hagrid glared at the Weasley brothers.
"Ahem, they're just one example. "We're just trying to satisfy our curiosity, and besides, you don't go into the woods a lot. ”
"Well, just this once, not for example. Hagrid thought for a moment and agreed, "Come with me, don't run around." ”
"Look! Lucky Charm works well, right? Albert squeezed his eyes at the stunned trio.
The three of them never imagined that Albert would be able to convince Hagrid to take them into the woods.
