Chapter 472: Who Fell In
"I didn't expect to be told by you again. When Fred spoke, he deliberately turned his head to look around, and saw that there was no one else in the hallway, so he whispered to the three of them, "The headmaster is really watching over there." ”
"I really thought we were going to be deducted a lot of points by Professor Dumbledore, and we would be severely disciplined and locked up. I didn't expect the principal to just let us keep it a secret. ”
The three of them were really taken aback when the principal suddenly appeared. George turned his head to look at Albert and asked curiously, "Did you do something that made the headmaster let us go so easily?"
"I thought you forgot what you promised!" Albert raised his index finger and shushed at the trio.
After an exciting adventure, they all felt a little hungry, so they went to the kitchen together to get some supper from the kitchen.
Right now, I'm on my way back to my dorm.
"I dare say they've long forgotten. Lee Jordan teased inarticulately.
"If it weren't for the stuff in your mouth, I'd say you would have said you would have said more than we did. Fred snatched the oiled paper bag of potato pancakes from Lee Jordan's hand, and glared at the cool guy in front of him with dissatisfaction.
"Then again, you can actually eat. George looked at Lee Jordan, whose mouth was stuffed with food, and couldn't help but shake his head and said.
Although they didn't come into contact with the troll, passing by the troll's room still made several people feel sick and wanted to go back to take a shower.
"Why can't I eat it? ”
As soon as Lee Jordan finished speaking, he saw Fred actually take off his boots and bring them to him.
"Hey, you guy, you're a bastard. Li Jordan almost vomited out all the food he had just eaten.
The next moment, the two chased each other.
"Really. Albert shook his head.
At the moment, there are still many people busy in the Gryffindor common room, but the rest room is exceptionally quiet.
Some of the 5th and 7th graders were struggling to revise their homework, while Percy, who was the prefect, kept the common room in order.
Anyone who dared to speak loudly in the common room would immediately be glared at by Percy.
So, Fred, who was still nagging just now, was unlucky as soon as he entered the common room.
"Where have you been, what's the smell on your body, it stinks to death. Percy reached out and covered her mouth and nose, glaring at Fred who was disturbing their review.
"Is there one?" Fred sniffed his own body and reached out for Percy to smell it, only to be slapped open by the other party.
"It stinks. Percy glared at Fred, "Don't bother anyone else to review here. ”
Fred happily annoyed Percy, and when he turned to look at his brother, he found that several of his friends who had been with him were gone.
"Hey, you wait for me. Fred didn't care about Percy either, and hurriedly quickened his pace to keep up.
After taking a good shower and using body wash to clean up any remaining stench on their bodies, a few people sat down to eat the potato pancakes they got from the kitchen.
When Tom saw Albert returning, he immediately came over and rubbed Albert with his head, begging for the agreed small dried fish.
"By the way, you haven't told us what the treasure Headmaster Dumbledore has hidden?" the three of them asked Albert, who was feeding the cat, as they ate.
"There was only one magic mirror in the last room, the one we saw last time in the Room of Requirement, and nothing else. Albert scratched Tom's ears and answered the questions Fred, George and Lee Jordan wanted to know.
"What about the treasure?"
"I guess it's hidden in the Mirror of Eris. Albert didn't lie, and began to tell the truth, "This should be a magical mechanism set up by Headmaster Dumbledore, and ordinary people can't crack it at all." ”
"That's an ordinary person, are you an ordinary person?" George looked sideways at Albert, nodded suddenly and said, "You're not an ordinary person, you're Albert!"
"Well, I'm not an ordinary person. Albert couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Lo and behold, Albert finally admitted that he was no ordinary person. Lee Jordan teased after swallowing the food in his mouth and patting Albert on the shoulder.
"Don't digress. George raised his hand to stop Li Jordan from continuing, and asked directly, "What is the treasure? Don't tell me, you haven't seen the treasure." ”
If you don't ask directly, you don't know if the topic will be pulled there.
"The treasure should be the Philosopher's Stone. ”
"What stone?"
"Philosopher's Stone. Albert said.
"What's that?" asked George, raising an eyebrow
"A miraculous alchemical product. Albert replied, "However, you don't need to be too concerned about the treasure, I reckon that the Philosopher's Stone is most likely a fake." ”
"Fake, you mean, the treasure is fake. Lee Jordan didn't understand what that meant.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Albert must have tested it, otherwise he wouldn't have said something was fake. Fred stuffed the paper bag to Lee Jordan and looked like you were going to eat your pancakes.
"Well, I've tried, but it didn't work. Albert was trying to get rid of Lee Jordan as he was about to destroy the last pancake, and he quickly rescued the food from him.
"You've eaten a lot, and eating too much at night is bad for your stomach. ”
"That's right, it's not good for the stomach. ”
"You'd better eat this. George didn't know where to get a box of cocoa flavored beans, stuffed it directly into Li Jordan's hand, and said with a smile.
"And then?"
"I asked Headmaster Dumbledore at the time, and he didn't answer, but I guess it was fake. ”
"Why did the headmaster put a fake magic stone?"
"It's the Philosopher's Stone. Albert corrected.
"Oh, why?"
All three looked at Albert, waiting for his answer.
"What would you do if you knew someone was trying to steal something from you?" asked Albert as he brushed Tom with a comb, without answering the trio's questions directly.
"I'll hide and try to catch that damn thief. Lee Jordan said.
"Now that I know someone is going to steal my things, of course I'm going to be wary of making sure they don't get stolen and then trying to catch them. George thought something about the same.
"No, it should be a fake one and put it in the original position, waiting for that damn thief to come over, it's best if you can catch the other party, and it's fake if you can't catch the stolen one. Fred's idea was also half-hearted.
"So, that's about what it looks like. Albert held Tom up in the air and asked with a smile, "Are you right, Tom?"
"Meow!"
Tom chewed on the small dried fish and meowed casually.
"I didn't expect it to be like this, so I said how could those magic mechanisms be so simple. George's face had the same expression on his face.
"Simple, I don't know who was almost trapped by the devil's net. Lee Jordan couldn't help but sarcastically: "If it weren't for Albert, you wouldn't even be able to pass the Devil's Net?"
"Hmph! ”
"So, the reality is the same as you speculated last time, the headmaster is waiting for the thief to take the bait?" Fred asked rhetorically.
"Is the thief really Professor Quirrell?"
"Not really, Professor Quirrell seems to have a small burden, how could he steal the Headmaster's things?"
"I feel like Snape is more of a thief. Fred unceremoniously pinned the thief's black cauldron on Snape's head.
"You say, should we do the headmaster a little bit and get that thief down faster?" George suggested excitedly.
"For example?" asked Lee Jordan tentatively.
"We can write to Snee...... Well, I mean Professor Quirrell, if he really was the thief trying to steal the Headmaster's things, he would definitely do something. George excitedly proposed. "In the end, he will definitely fall into the trap of the principal. ”
Looking at the few people who were eager to try, Albert was speechless for a moment.
Didn't you promise the principal to keep it secret just now, but the next moment you rushed to be a leaker?
More positive than yourself?
"Still don't. Albert decisively rejected the proposal, "Professor Dumbledore must have his own plan for doing that, and we better not do that, in case it disrupts his plan." ”
The leaker's mission reward is actually quite average. However, the mission is a bit of a pitfall, and if you don't handle it well, you feel like you're burying yourself.
This kind of task is risky, rewarding, and not high, and even if Albert really thinks about doing it, he needs to do it at the right time and at the right time.
It's best to use this to trick Quirrell.
You say yes, Tom?
