Chapter 51: Going Out

"So that's the end of our course today?"

It was already noon in the blink of an eye, and Quirrell said with a complicated expression.

After half a day of study, Carl has preliminarily mastered the disarming spell, and the iron armor spell has also taken shape, only the most difficult illusion spell has only some clues, and it is not 100% successful.

This pace of learning greatly exceeded Quirrell's expectations.

He had confirmed more than once that Carl had really done so, but each time Carl had successfully cast the spell.

"Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Now" Quirrell looked at Carl, who was still in good spirits, and barely smiled, "I want to rest, take a break, think about something." ”

After a pause, he continued, "Now you can try to practice it yourself, I think it won't be long before you become proficient in these spells, and then maybe you can figure out a lot of techniques on your own." ”

Carl heard the sourness in Quirrell's words, and said modestly: "Quirrell, you taught me, it is difficult for me to express my gratitude in words, but I will keep this kindness in my heart." ”

"Yes, I taught you." Perhaps encouraged by Carl, Quirrell perked up a little and said, "I think you'll be able to overtake me soon." ”

Karl smiled slightly, but did not refute.

"Next Saturday, it's still old time. In addition, it is said that the school has collected a lot of second-hand textbooks for poor students, and I am asking where they are and whether they can be borrowed. Quirrell sighed, avoiding the topic that frustrated him, "The study of theory is important, don't be satisfied with learning. If I can, I'll lend you a set. ”

"Of course, thank you again."

Carl walked into the dining room, and Fred and George immediately noticed him and waved at him to come over.

There were very few people in the cafeteria, only the junior students gathered to have fun.

Today is a rare Hogsmeade day, and the senior students basically go out to play as a way to vent the nervous review pressure.

"We're going to buy some goods in the afternoon." Without waiting for Karl to sit down, Lee Jordan preemptively spoke.

Karl glared at Lee Jordan, looked around, noticed that no one was paying attention to him, and then said, "Lee, if you can't be cautious about this kind of thing, then you should keep your mouth shut." ”

"Actually, I made a bet with George about when Lee would be unlucky because of his big mouth." Fred grinned and patted Lee Jordan's arm, "I think this day is coming." ”

Lee Jordan rolled his eyes: "I know I can't keep the real secret, so I won't take the initiative to ask about many of your things." ”

Fred, George winked at each other when he heard this: "It's a good thing. Lee, if you're willing to throw in the towel, we'd like to tell you a big secretβ€”our big secret. ”

"Something to do with your hobbies?"

Seeing Fred and George nodding in unison, Lee Jordan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Then it's better that I still don't want to know, besides, it's not certain who loses and who wins." ”

"Lee, if you don't know this secret, you definitely won't be able to win against Fred and George." Carl couldn't help but remind.

"Carl, you do." Lee Jordan looked at Fred and George speechlessly, "But I can't do that like you, and don't say a word." ”

This is indeed a big shortcoming of Lee Jordan, who also loves to make friends, and Lee Jordan has an obsessive hobby of chatting and bragging.

Especially with Angelina and Alya, he wanted to tell all the interesting things he knew, so that the girl could giggle.

But fortunately, Lee Jordan is not a stupid person, he has the self-knowledge to be able to mix in this group.

"Now, back to the basics." Karl pointed outside, "You're going to go out for a walk?" ”

Obviously, this outside does not only refer to the outside of the castle.

"That's right, Carl." Fred preemptively said, "It's true that you're thinking before, and now everyone is busy preparing for the final exam." ”

He didn't say it very bluntly, but Karl already understood.

Karl pondered for a moment: "It's a good time, but it's Hogsmeade Day." ”

"That's why we picked the afternoon, a good time, didn't we?" George said.

It's a good time to do in the afternoon.

The students are coming back one after another, so the probability of being caught by acquaintances is much smaller.

"However, I think tomorrow will be more appropriate." Carl said.

If today's probability is small, tomorrow's probability is infinitely close to zero.

Fred and George spread their hands in unison: "Not tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow we're going to play Quidditch, and we're going to play Hufflepuff." Lee Jordan explained, "It's just for first-year students, Cedric and the two of them are tinkering, I'm a Seeker, the two of them are batsmen, Angelina and Arya, Andrew is the chaser, and Jack is the goalkeeper. ”

This is basically the best flying technique of Gryffindor and the most avid Quidditch fan. All that's left to do is fly, like Carl.

"Nice lineup." Karl commented objectively. "I wish you all the best tomorrow."

"If Lee Jordan can catch the Golden Snitch." Fred snorted, "Frankly, Cedric is a lot better than him." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. You are all the stars of tomorrow. Lee Jordan dissatisfied, "I don't think I'm much worse than Cedric!" ”

Carl looked curiously at George, who was smiling on the side, he wasn't very interested in Quidditch, so he didn't quite understand how far Lee Jordan and Cedric were.

"We agreed that Cedric would have a chance to challenge Charlie in the future." George explained in a low voice, "He flies so well that the broom carries him like a feather." ”

"Of course, we're not bad either. We also agreed that Fred and George could challenge for the best hitter in Hogwarts history. Fred stuck his head out and interjected. Isn't it? George. ”

George laughed and high-fived Fred, saying, "No, Fred, there's only one best hitman, and that's me!" ”

"Hey!" Fred squealed in displeasure, then smirked, "Actually, it's all the same." In the future, when I go out, I'll say I'm George, and they can't tell the difference! ”

The group hurriedly settled their lunch and then proceeded to the fourth floor, where there was a mirror and a secret passage leading to the outside of the school.

This passage is very peculiar, its passage is very wide, and there is a large hall in the middle that is large enough to fit many people.

There was nothing superfluous in the hall, and the bluestone ceiling was supported by four gigant and unadorned huge stone columns.

Fred and George loved it so much that since they discovered it according to the map of the living spots, this wide and smooth secret passage had become their most common secret passage, and they had used this hall as a secret base, and many things that were inconvenient to bring into the castle at once, they would hide here first.
