Chapter 76: Headless Hat
The students of Gryffindor are a group of unafraid masters, and there are many students who wander the castle late at night every year.
"What about you?" asked George.
"What do you say?" said Albert, angrily throwing the towel he used to wipe his hair at George.
"Anyway, why do you have to take another shower at night?" said George, who reached for the towel and threw it back to Albert.
"It's good to wash in the morning and sleep well in the evening. Albert said rightly.
The three of them all looked at him speechlessly, and they didn't want to argue about it, they all knew that Albert would always give you a bunch of good reasons when he talked about it.
"Can you really sleep well?" Lee Jordan asked coldly, and then, too, went to take a shower.
Albert sat back on the bed and listened to the twins talk about the castle's secret passages, picked up the wand from the pillow and tapped the towel that had been thrown beside him.
The illusion spell took effect, and the towel seemed to disappear from the bed.
Albert picked up the invisible towel, put it in front of him and looked at it, covering it on his hand, the covered part disappeared, but there was still an inexplicable sense of disobedience in general.
Albert crumpled the towel and observed the effect of the illusion spell, which at some point became more abrupt.
"Your hand...... How did you do that?" Fred looked at Albert's left hand under the towel and his eyes widened in surprise.
"You say this?" Albert handed Fred the towel on which he had released the Illusion Charm, "I used a Illusion Charm on the towel. ”
"Awesome. George leaned over to study it. "However, there are still some flaws. ”
"That's all there is to it for the time being. "Albert's illusion spell has been upgraded to level 1, but the effect of invisibility is still not satisfactory, as long as it is a clever wizard, it is not difficult to see the flaw, "Some wizards will use this magic to create inferior invisibility cloaks. ”
"Cloak of invisibility?" Fred asked, puzzled, "I've heard of this thing, but why is it inferior?"
Albert explains, "The stealth effect on the cloak fades over time. ”
"Look, my hand is broken. Fred covered his hand with an invisible towel and winked at George, "If you don't look closer, you can't really see it." ”
"Wrap it around your head. Albert reminded.
Fred and George looked at each other, as if aware of something, and a malicious smile appeared on the corner of their mouth.
The door was slammed back shut, and the oil lamp in the room went out.
"What the hell are you guys doing, why don't the lights turn on in the dormitory, is everyone sleeping?" Li Qiaodan, who had just taken a shower, just pushed open the wooden door of the dormitory and found that it was dark inside, so he couldn't help frowning slightly and complained.
Suddenly there was a light in the darkness, and Lee Jordan looked in the direction of the light source, only to see one of the twins standing at the table, turning around and forgetting to come this way. The pale glow of the wand's tip moved up his body and finally rested on his shoulder.
Li Jordan has seen it clearly, this person is actually ...... He didn't have a head.
"This ......" The expression on Li Jordan's face froze, and he just stood in place.
To be honest, this scene still looks quite scary, especially in the dark.
"Ahem, don't make a fuss, you're all scaring him!" Albert held back his laughter and reached out to rip the invisible towel off Fred's head, exposing his head.
"He's okay!" George turned on the lights again, looking at Jordan Lee uncomfortably, and cast a reproachful look at his twin brother, as if everything was Fred's fault.
Fred reached out to touch Lee Jordan, but Albert stopped him.
I don't know how long it took, Li Jordan hadn't recovered from his stupor, and the uneasy aura quietly spread in the room.
"Hahaha!" Li Jordan suddenly burst out laughing, startling all three people in the room.
"Are you alright?" Fred asked tentatively.
"It's fine. Lee Jordan made a grimace at the trio, and the reaction just now was obviously deliberately faked. "However, I was really taken aback by you. ”
George said angrily, "We were just taken aback by you. ”
"Then again, that scene just now was really terrifying. Lee Jordan took the invisible towel handed over by Albert, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it, as if he had thought of something again, and asked, "You say, if you scare Filch like this, will you directly scare him and faint?" ”
"Probably not, after all, there are ghosts in the castle. Albert directly denied this possibility, people in the wizarding world are much better at accepting and accepting the unknown than ordinary people.
If you let your head disappear and walk around the crowded streets late at night, you can probably scare a bunch of people, and even make the headlines tomorrow.
"Still, it's scary to see someone's head disappear all of a sudden. Fred said, "Why doesn't Jokowi's joke shop have this kind of thing?"
"Jokowi is not young, he has passed the age of active thinking, and although he has the ability to turn ideas into joke props, his inspiration is probably exhausted. Albert casually explained, "If he didn't have this inspiration, he wouldn't have been able to make a headless hat." ”
"Headless?" Fred's eyes lit up and he said, "That's a good name." ”
"Write it down, write it down. George hurriedly searched for a quill and parchment, "Someday, we might be able to make our own headless hat." ”
"Until then, you'll probably have to learn the spells. Albert reminded.
"Uh, what's going on?" Jordan noticed that the invisible towel was no longer invisible.
"The spell on it is almost gone. Albert examines the illusion spell on the invisibility towel, which can't remain permanently invisible like Harry Potter's invisibility cloak.
Anyway, this thing is a bit like optical camouflage.
"Gone so soon?" Fred muttered
Albert picked up the pocket watch on the pillow, glanced at the time, and said, "It lasted about half an hour." ”
"The duration is so short. "George was a little disappointed.
"It's not fully grasped yet, how long do you expect it to last. Albert couldn't help but roll his eyes, the duration of the magic was related to the wizard who cast the spell.
As for the Illusion Charm, Albert is only in the initial stage of mastering, and if it were Professor Flitwick, there should be a way to create an invisibility cloak that will last for a long time.
Of course, the truly skilled spell masters don't need to use invisibility cloaks at all, they can always easily use spells to make themselves invisible, and ordinary wizards can't detect their existence at all.
