Christmas is approaching, and Hogwarts Castle is filled with Christmas spirit.

Everyone's mood has become very high, Christmas means holidays, and there is probably nothing more deserving of the students' joy than a holiday.

Everywhere you go, you can always hear people talking loudly about their vacation plans.

When she learned that Albert planned to go to Italy for a holiday during this year's Christmas holiday, Shanna's face was full of envy and jealousy, her family was actually not bad, but her parents couldn't spare time to travel abroad with her because of their busy work.

"Italy?"

George sat down on Albert's right with a plate of food and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say that you were going to France for a friend's wedding during the Christmas holidays, how did it turn into a vacation to Italy?"

"A lot of friends from France have gone, so I've gone with them. Albert scooped a large mouthful of pumpkin porridge and stuffed it into his mouth after a few breaths, and he still likes to have some hot food in the morning to warm his stomach when the weather has been getting colder lately.

George raised his eyebrows slightly, and quickly made a decision, "This year's Christmas gift, I'm afraid we have to give it to you in advance,"

Otherwise, once Albert goes abroad, God knows if the owl will be able to deliver the gift to him on Christmas Day.

"Are they dating?" asked Lee Jordan softly, noticing Fred who was talking to Angelina not far away.

"Nope. George glanced at Lee Jordan and said mysteriously, "They're talking about what they just overheard." ”

"What's the matter?" asked Li Jordan immediately.

"When we came to the hall for dinner, we heard Snape telling Filch that someone had broken into his office and stole potion ingredients. George winked at Albert, "There's no doubt that some student wants to make a forbidden potion." However, being able to steal Snape's private storage room is really not ordinary. ”

As far as they knew, Albert had broken into Snape's private storage before, and George apparently thought that Albert had done the same this time.

Hearing George say this, Albert couldn't help but look sideways at Harry, Ron, and Hermione, who were not far away, who were eating with their heads down.

"Who knows!" Albert retracted his gaze, "Perhaps, it was the Slytherin heir who did a good deed!"

This black cauldron, Albert definitely doesn't carry it, it's just right to buckle it to the head of the Slytherin heir, anyway, except for the Slytherin heir, who else would do such a thing?

"By the way, have you heard any rumors?" said Lee Jordan to the trio in a low voice, "I heard that the professors secretly searched Hogwarts Castle, but still couldn't find the Slytherin Vault, but somehow there are rumors that Hagrid is the culprit who opened the Chamber of Secrets last time, and he is the heir of Slytherin." ”

"Who said that?" asked Albert.

"Lockhart. Lee Jordan said.

"Is Lockhart blind?" George was speechless.

"Hagrid isn't like the heir of Slytherin anymore. "Although Shanna didn't know Hagrid, she didn't think he would be the heir of Slytherin, otherwise how could Dumbledore let him stay at the school as a hunting ground guard, and the headmaster was not stupid.

Lee Jordan looked around and said in a voice that only a few people could hear, "They say that Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts because of this. ”

Although Lee Jordan didn't think Hagrid would be the so-called heir to Slytherin, he felt that he should tell Albert about it, because he knew that Albert had a good relationship with Hagrid.

Albert noticed Lee Jordan's gaze and said calmly, "I've known about this for a long time, Hagrid himself told me. ”

Lee Jordan opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.

"This thing always needs to be solved, someone has to take the blame, and Hagrid is just unfortunate to be that person. Albert took a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said, "Look at his appearance, he looks like the heir of Slytherin." ”

After breakfast, Albert separated from his little friends, put on a thick cloak, and went to Hagrid's hunting lodge.

However, as soon as he left the foyer, Albert found himself in trouble, the original gravel path was covered in thick snow, and he had to draw his wand and expel himself from a path.

It wasn't easy, and it took more than ten minutes to finally reach Hagrid's hunting lodge.

Albert reached out and knocked on the wooden door, and it took a long time for footsteps to be heard in the room, and Hagrid, dressed in a mink coat, opened the wooden door and looked at Albert in surprise.

"What, you're not welcome?" Albert asked with a smile.

"Why are you here. Hagrid stepped back and let Albert in.

"It's so cold in this house!"

There was a roaring fire burning in the fireplace of the hut, but there was still a chill in the room, and Albert sighed, and a white mist formed in front of him.

"It'll be warm in a minute, I've just come back from the owl hut. ”

Hagrid pointed to the birdcage by the fireplace, where the owls looked very tired, apparently exhausted from delivering mail in the snowy weather.

"They need extra care. ”

Hagrid added some more wood to the fireplace to make it burn more vigorously, and Toothtooth had already risen from the blanket and arched his head over Albert's body.

The cold wind rattled the window glasses, and Hagrid added some water to the owl's cage and some food.

"How's your class going?" Albert asked casually.

"This ......"

Hagrid was embarrassed to say that he didn't consult Professor Kettleber again, after all, Professor Kettleber's physical condition has become worse and worse since he entered the hospital, and he didn't bother the other party anymore, teaching matters still have to rely on him after all, and Hagrid already has a good teaching idea.

"I've read that "Yokai Book of Monsters", and the content in it is okay, but that book may not be popular. Albert said as he pondered the words.

"Not popular?" Hagrid's face was confused and puzzled, "Why, I think this book is quite interesting." ”

Albert was speechless.

What do you mean by fun?

"Because that book bites, it hurts when it's bitten. Albert said directly: "My suggestion is to take out the content of the previous exams and give lectures to everyone. ”

"Oh. ”

Hagrid seemed disappointed.

Originally, he was going to make a big splash in the protection of magical creatures class, but he was hit by Albert before he could start.

"By the way, I'm here to ask you to do me a favor. ”

Albert looked at the lost Hagrid, quickly diverted the subject, and took out the detection ball from his pocket and placed it in front of Hagrid.

"What is this?" Hagrid asked, reaching for the detection ball, taking a closer look.

"Do you know the speculum?"

"Yes. ”

"The Detection Ball works in a similar way to a speculum, and when a dark creature is around, the Detection Ball reacts. Albert explains: "Of course, the way of alerting is more subtle, and when you feel it starts to heat up, it means that there are dark creatures around. ”

It's a shame to say that the Detection Ball is not a finished product developed by Albert alone, and Nicol Lemay provided Albert with a lot of help, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to turn the Detection Ball into a panel skill in a short period of time.

"This is for that monster in the castle?" Hagrid had realized what it was for, and if it was really working out what Albert said, then it would be a great way to hunt for monsters in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

"Yes, if the detection ball works, I don't have to worry about being attacked by monsters in the secret room. Albert nodded, "It's still in beta, though, so it would be nice if you could help me catch a dark creature to test the detection ball's range." ”

Kenneth got a Grindy Lowe last time, and the guy ran out of it and threw it into the Black Lake, otherwise Albert wouldn't have had to come to Hagrid for help.

"Dark creatures?" Hagrid scratched his head, "I do my best, it's not easy for this kind of ghost weather to catch an ordinary dark creature. ”

"Then please. ”

"By the way, can this thing find the monster in the secret room?" Hagrid asked suddenly, he really wanted to find the monster with his own hands.

"I'm afraid not, if you want to find the monster in the Slytherin chamber, I'm afraid you need to find the Slytherin chamber first. Albert reminded, "If the Chamber of Secrets had been so easy to find, it would have been found fifty years ago." ”

"If you do find something, remember to inform the other professors first, and don't act rashly on your own. Hagrid advised, thinking that with Albert's ability, he might be able to find some clues.

"I see. ”
