Chapter 26: Open Sesame

"I think so. Albert couldn't help but laugh, squinting at the ghost that had landed on the passing ghost, and raised his hand to greet the other: "Good morning, Sir Nicholas." ”

"Good morning boy, what's the matter?"

"Is Sir free for me to take a picture?" Albert asked, holding up his camera.

"Oh, alright!" Nick asked, after a moment's thought, "Do you need a pose?"

"No, come on, look over here. Albert adjusted an angle and clicked on Nick.

"Is it okay?"

"Yes, thank you, Sir Nicholas. ”

"You're welcome, then I'll go first!" Nick quickly floated away.

Angelina leaned over to see what Albert had taken, and there was nothing in the picture.

"It seems that Muggle cameras can't catch ghosts, and perhaps, using a wizard's camera can do it. Albert wrote Sir Nicholas de Mimcy Poppington on the back of that picture.

"Thank you for remembering his name. Angelina admired Albert's memory, at least she couldn't remember the names herself.

"It's not about the camera. A voice rang out.

Albert turned her head and saw a beautiful red-haired girl just entering the auditorium, and she noticed that several people were looking at her, and explained, "The picture needs to be done with the correct development potion so that the people inside can move." Also, ghosts belong to spirits, and they can't be captured by cameras. ”

With that, the girl walked to the Ravenclaw table.

"Wow, what a Ravenclaw student, I know so much. George exaggerated.

"It's really amazing. Albert sighed and looked at Angelina to invite, "Why don't you go with us to the rest of the school after you're done eating?"

"Forget it. Angelina hesitated, but refused, "I have an appointment with someone else." ”

"That's a pity. Albert picked up a fruit and nibbled on it, thinking about how to get the developing potion.

The number of students in the auditorium gradually increased, most of them were freshmen, perhaps because of the weekends, the older students slept late, and the new students couldn't wait to visit the school.

After saying goodbye to Angelina, the four walked out of the auditorium chatting, and as they passed the foyer, they noticed that Filch was staring at the four of them with a cat.

Albert pauses and finds that his panel has an extra task hint:

Malicious intent from administrators.

You've been targeted by Filch, the Hogwarts Administrator, and it's time to fight back, and during the Night Tour, get out of Filch, the Administrator, and make him realize that even if he targets you, he won't be able to catch any clues.

Reward: 1000 experience.

After watching the quest, the corners of Albert's mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he found that after coming to Hogwarts, the triggering panel quest seemed to become a bit dull.

"What's wrong?" Fred asked, looking back in confusion.

"Nothing. Albert took a few quick steps to keep up with the group. The four of them crossed the damp viaduct, and he suddenly asked, "Do you know the spell of the Illusion Charm?"

"What's that?" asked George, confused.

"It's said to be a kind of stealth magic. "I read in a book that this kind of invisibility spell can make a disguised person or thing look like a chameleon. ”

"Sounds cool. George took up the spell, "If you can master it, you won't have to worry about getting caught in the evening." ”

"That's what I thought, at least I don't have to worry about Filch. Albert nodded, ready to master the Illusion Charm before traveling at night.

"But how are we going to get the spell?" Fred was a little depressed, "Dad may know, but he certainly won't tell us." ”

"How about asking the professor?" Lee proposed.

"For the time being, I can only go to the library to find it. "Of course, if you can't find it, you can ask the Charms Professor, but I'm a little skeptical that he'd be willing to teach us the spell, because he might think of a night walk." ”

Several people looked at each other, and they all sighed helplessly, if they could master this magic, it would be much easier to do a lot of things in the future.

Albert stopped at the side of the viaduct, his hands on the railing and looked down, he remembered that it was here that Harry Potter broke off the Elder Wand and threw it off the bridge at the end of the novel.

That loser.

The Elder Wand is a good thing, and even if you don't use it, you can hide it in an unknown place.

It was a real artifact from the Harry Potter novels, and the other was the Philosopher's Stone, and both good things were destroyed.

"Anyway, let's find the library first. ”

"Even if we find it, we don't think we can learn it for the time being?" said Lee, a little dejected, not forgetting that he hadn't mastered even the simplest of magic.

"Don't say such frustrating words. Albert glanced at Lee and said disdainfully, "How do you think I mastered other magic?" ”

"How?" the twins asked curiously.

"Of course you have to spend a lot of time practicing, or do you expect to learn it all at once?" said Albert angrily.

The four of them chatted about the illusion spell while walking, and walked around the first floor of the castle for a long time, and found a few empty classrooms with a pile of clutter, as well as a place that seemed to be a secret passage, but none of them opened the secret passage, which made the four of them very depressed.

"Most secret passages require a specific password or a special rhythm to open. Albert explained to the three as he walked, "It's only a matter of luck to find one, or to ask anyone else who knows the secret way, but I dare say they won't tell us easily." ”

"Transfiguration classroom. George reminded, "I remember Professor McGonagall teaching Transfiguration. ”

Lee Jordan whispered, "I heard that this course is super difficult to learn. ”

"It's a bit difficult. Albert also discovered this when he was self-taught, he took the most time to turn matches into needles, but after learning it, most of the Transfiguration techniques actually became less difficult.

Of course, it could also have something to do with his panel skills.

The four of them found the history of magic classroom on the second floor of the castle, but fortunately the classrooms were marked, otherwise they really didn't know where to look.

"There's a wooden door here, I think it's a secret passage. Lee Jordan excitedly pointed to the entrance tunnel hidden behind the stone statue.

"It seems to be locked. Albert drew his wand and opened the wooden door in front of him with an alajo hole.

"Your spell is broken. Fred reached out and twisted, but still didn't open it.

"Estimate what password is needed to open it. Albert muttered.

"What do you think a password would normally be?" asked Lee Jordan rhetorically.

"How could I possibly know. Albert glanced at Lee, thought for a moment and said, "The most famous secret door order in the Muggle world is Open Sesame, and this story comes from Alibaba and the Forty Thieves. ”

At this point, Albert's wand happened to be knocking on the wooden door.

The next moment, the wooden planks on the door were actually ripped off the hinges, and they were about to shatter into a pile of firewood.

All four of them couldn't help but grow their mouths, and their eyes were about to protrude from their sockets, and they didn't realize what had just happened.
