Chapter 256: Hagrid and Gryffindor
"Salute to the great Weasley Master Alchemist"
With that, the two of them trotted all the way to the outside of the courtyard.
Out of Dumbledore's walls of ancient runes.
Stand outside the doorway.
The twins pulled an alchemical owl out of their pockets.
They held their wands and tapped lightly on the owl's body.
Then the pure metal creature seemed to come to life, its look, its posture, and its movements almost indistinguishable from that of a real owl.
Then the brothers put what looked like hair into the alchemy owl's belly.
Then two pieces of parchment.
When you've done all this, throw it hard.
The alchemical owl fluttered its wings and flew with difficulty.
In the bewildered and surprised gaze of the young wizard, the owl quickly flew above the Goblet of Fire with two pieces of parchment in his mouth, and then easily broke through the golden thread left by Dumbledore.
Place above the Goblet of Fire and spit out the note.
The next moment, the blue flames boiled.
"Success?" Ron looked in shock at the alchemy bird that flew back into George and Fred's hands.
"It's-" Hermione was also speechless.
It's too easy, isn't it?
She sighed with infinite emotion in her heart.
Was this spell that could be broken by sending an owl really Dumbledore?
"Oh my God! How did you do it! Ron said in shock.
Then he ran over excitedly. "I-"
"What are you!" The Twins looked at Ron with a smile on their faces, "Want to compete?" Okay! ”
"Only five Galleons."
"That's me!" Ron asked expectantly.
"Five Galleons." The twins said in unison.
"I'm your brother!"
"Ten Galleons!" The twins raised their eyebrows and said disdainfully.
“.” Ron blushed, his eyes staring at the twins, as if he had only known them on the first day, which really made the little wizards around him laugh.
"Owen! You might be able to do it, right? "I saw that George and Fred had already gone with owls to encircle the pockets of the little wizards around them.
Ron was in a hurry.
Although he had some small savings, he would never lose them to George Fred.
"They can do it, don't say you can't."
Suddenly smarter, Ron also used the agitation method on Owen.
It's a pity - his agitation method is so low-level that he is greeted only by the roll of Owen's eyes.
"Genius design!"
In the scene, only Owen saw the method used by George and Fred.
First of all: the alchemy bird slashed through the air without touching the ground, thus exempting some of Dumbledore's magic.
Then there was the hair of the magic pen, the metal was inanimate after all, so the old headmaster's circle could only detect the hair, and Owen guessed that it must have belonged to the adult Gryffindor wizard.
In addition to this, he also noticed that the alchemy bird was covered with dense ancient runes.
'Silence', 'Chaos', 'Upside Down', 'Fraud'
It's all messy carvings.
The whole design is extremely rudimentary, and the big bird can fly like Merlin feeding.
But the reality is like this, don't ask how gorgeous your solution is, but ask for it to be effective.
The answer given by the twins was very much in line with Dumbledore's question.
However, Owen deduced that the alchemy bird was never from the hands of the Twins, and that they should have been guided by a master.
"Small!" The twins happily collected the gold gallons.
"Weasley's talent." George said proudly.
"Except, of course, Ron." Fred said.
"As the oldest ancient family, Ron you have lowered the average IQ of our family." The twins mended the knife in unison.
“.”
Seeing his two older brothers scooping up a lot of gold, Ron gradually felt numb.
An absurd, one he would never believe, but perhaps a real idea popped up from the bottom of his mind.
"Could it be—what mysterious talent our family has?"
Or is there really any secret treasure in their family?
Like what Owen has been looking for lately.
"Don't you know the secret treasure of the Weasley family?" George and Fred looked at each other, and both saw the banter in each other's eyes, "Oh! It may be that Mom thinks you are too stupid to be qualified to inherit our family's treasures. ”
"Impossible!" Ron yelled.
"How is it impossible, think of Charlie and Bill, every one of the Weasley children is extraordinarily smart. Look at you again. George continued to speak heart-piercing words.
"Don't be discouraged, brother." Fred said with a look of pretended sympathy, and he put his arm around Ron's shoulder, "It's good to be an ordinary person, at least you don't have to get involved in the Weasley family to doom a great fate." ”
"What fate? What do you know? Mom didn't tell me anything! Ron was a little hysterical, yes, he didn't seem smart enough compared to his five older brothers, could it be true that George and Fred were telling him?
"We're not going to tell you, Ronald. The wings of the brothers will shelter you from the wind and rain, and the flickering - cough - will protect you for a lifetime. ”
"Nope! I don't believe it! At this time, Ron, who was in a state of turmoil, really thought that there might be some secret treasure in their family.
The most terrifying thing is that maybe the whole family knows, but only he doesn't know.
The only thing that made Ron feel a little fortunate was that Ginny probably didn't know.
On the other side, the corners of the twins' mouths rose sharply, as if they saw what Ron was thinking.
Because he had written all his thoughts on his face.
"Actually, Ginny knows." George patted Ron on the shoulder with a look of pity.
"She just doesn't want you to feel sad."
“.”
Kick and stare - Ron took several steps back.
"I don't believe it!" He said indignantly.
"I don't believe !!" He yelled, then jerked around and ran in the direction of the spiral staircase.
He's going back to his dorm, he's going to write to his dad and ask him what kind of secret the Weasleys are hiding!
Why did everyone in the family hide it from him!
"Hey! Ron! ”
"Ron!! Harry shouted.
Unfortunately, the running boy did not stop, and disappeared at the end of the courtyard in the blink of an eye.
"Hehe-" The corners of Owen's mouth went up, and he walked over silently.
"You two just keep fooling around!" He said.
"When he's really stupid, you'll regret it."
"Che—he's just a fool." George said unhurriedly, "What a Weasley treasure!"
How could anyone really believe in such a thing! ”
"Yes." Fred helped, "If there was any treasure left behind in our family, I would have kicked the Malfoys out of England long ago." ”
"Huh." Owen chuckled, "Not necessarily. ”
He said, "What if there really is a treasure?" ”
Owen then raised an eyebrow at Hermione.
Miss Granger, who was watched by Owen, was silent.
Although she knew that Owen was starting to fool people again.
But—the current guardian of the underground vault is indeed a member of the Weasley family, and the treasure she left behind is called the Weasley Treasure, which seems to be in the past
Thinking of it this way, Ron and his family do have a huge secret treasure!
And—she wanted to see the twins deflated, too.
Immediately, Hermione nodded solemnly at the Twins, agreeing with what Owen said.
“?”
This time it was the Twins' turn to be confused.
What do you two mean, it's not like fooling them!
"Maybe your branch isn't qualified to know the secrets of the Weasley family." Owen almost uttered the Twins' words to fool Ron.
In short, do not ask them to believe.
If you believe it, you can do it.
Hey—this is the highest level of foolishness.
And then - as soon as he lets off a smoke bomb, they will make up for it themselves, and then according to what they make up in their heads, they will be convinced.
Hehe———— the twins fell silent.
Because although they didn't believe in Owen's mouth, they still trusted Hermione.
Besides, Owen is indeed looking for some Weasley treasure these days.
Could it be- was it something that some former Weasley member had left behind at the school?
It seems reasonable to think about it, because if the two of them graduate, they will definitely leave something interesting in the school for the little wizards who will come after.
Maybe that's what Owen and Hermione were looking for.
Gradually, the twins also developed a keen interest in the secrets hidden in the castle.
Auditorium –
Owen: They finished their breakfast.
Early in the morning, it started to rain in the sky.
Everyone couldn't help but wrap their clothes tighter.
Owen noticed that the little French wizards in Beauxbatons couldn't stand the weather, and dug out thick robes from under the chests, wrapped them tighter than they were.
There's nothing like last night's demeanor.
After breakfast, Harry suggested going to Hagrid.
He said: I want to remind Hagrid to hide all the conchs and not to disgrace Hogwarts.
In fact, his real thoughts were to be close to those runes.
It's better to conquer one.
Maybe she could ask Cho Chang to ride a horse with him – that would definitely impress her.
The group walked out of the castle, and a few minutes later, came to Hagrid's cabin.
Harry knocked on the door, and there was a muffled barking from the room.
"Oh! It's you! Hagrid opened the door. I'm going-"
"Where are you going?" Hermione looked up at Hagrid.
He looked so strange.
With greasy hair, all hair is neatly combed.
Wearing a gown that was loud enough to fit Harry and Ron in its trousers?
The most terrifying thing is that there is a red rose on his chest.
Hagrid had never worn anything like it.
"Oh my God! Hagrid, you're going on a blind date? Harry asked, surprised.
"It's not—" Hagrid blushed momentarily, "I'm just- it's just a change of style." ”
"Style?" Hermione raised an eyebrow, "Your style has changed a bit. ”
"Alright, listen." Hagrid quickly broke free from the scrutinizing eyes of several young wizards. "I'm going to go to—Owen to talk about something."
He wanted to get out of here.
But when he finished speaking, a head popped out of the door and leaned against Miss Granger, "Oh—are you looking for me?" ”
It's Owen.
He was looking at Hagrid playfully.
"You should prepare a bottle of perfume, Gu Long's is good."
"Uh-" Hagrid looked embarrassed.
He hesitated in front of the door and couldn't utter a word.
Of course, Owen knew what Hagrid was busy doing, didn't he just go to Madame Maxim to set up a trick?
They are indeed the most suitable people for each other.
He was sure that before that Hagrid would probably plan to stay at Hogwarts forever without marrying for the rest of his life.
Seeing that the giant in front of him was so abnormal, Harry and Ron were even more chattering together, as if they were interrogating prisoners.
Poor Hagrid, on the other hand, could only blush, and said that he was hesitant.
That is, until our kind-hearted Miss Granger said she was going to visit Hagrid's new magical beasts for the new curriculum of the three schools of magic. (Passing his eyes in advance, checking the gates, he took out some shocking magical creatures during class, which made Hogwarts embarrassed.) )
That's what relieved Hagrid.
"Wait a minute, Owen."
Watching Harry before they left the hut. Walk towards the meadows in the distance.
Hagrid stopped Owen instead. "I happened to meet you, I have something to ask for your permission."
In the distance, Harry walked through the pumpkin patch. Several people looked sideways at the big pumpkin on the side, thinking, when they go back, they can bring some pumpkins back, after all, today is Halloween. It's also good to decorate.
Hagrid, on the other hand, introduced Owen into the cabin.
The two discussed some things carefully for more than 20 minutes.
It wasn't until Harry returned from the pasture a little lonely that it was over.
"I thought those rune horses would be gentle." He said.
It seems clear that his plan of conquest was not very successful.
"Owen, what are you discussing with Hagrid?"
At this time, Owen had just come out of the hut, and he turned back to the last words he said to Hagrid, "I have no opinion, the key is that you have to ask if it has an opinion." ”
"It's much better than its kind, be careful."
"Don't worry, I've got you covered." Hagrid said confidently. Patting his chest and making a thumping sound.
"A big surprise for you guys guaranteed!"
"Hehe—don't be scared. I warn you, it is really very powerful, and its magic is far greater than that of its kind. If something happens—"
Owen shook his head, he knew that it must have been dictated by Dumbledore.
He didn't expect that Old Deng Tou would have a really big time!
Then he turned to Harry, "It's nothing, it's just that it's too cold, and someone wants to add to the fire!" ”
"Really?"
Both Harry and the other two young wizards looked at Owen with deep suspicion.
Miss Granger guessed that what Owen and Hagrid had just talked about might have something to do with the tournament, but it wasn't clear what it was.
On the way back to the castle. Ron kept asking questions, but Owen never said anything, he wasn't Hagrid, his mouth was funnel, and he always leaked something.
On the ridge, several people marched towards the castle one after the other.
It was raining, and both Owen and Hermione had their umbrellas.
Taking this opportunity, Owen asked her curiously, "So what is your test?" ”
Hearing this, Miss Granger glanced at him, but this time she did not refuse, from the confidence of walking out of the underground secret room at the beginning, to the continuous deflated in the last few days, Miss Granger's Waterloo.
She found that the answers she knew no longer fit into the question.
"Just help me." Owen said, "You help me figure out what Weasley's treasure is, and I'll help you solve your problem." ”
"Whew~" Hearing this, Miss Granger seemed to finally want to open, she breathed a sigh of relief, and dusted her rain-stained shoes on the covered bridge that connected the ridge to Hogwarts.
"It's the Gryffindor Sword, and my first test is the Gryffindor Sword." She leaned on the handrail of the covered bridge, put away her wand, and put her hand on the wind-blown hair in her ear, "I have to get the approval of that sword." ”
"Gryffindor Sword?"
"What Gryffindor sword?"
Hearing this, Ron and Harry, who were also holding their wands, turned their heads around.
"Test? What are you talking about? ”
Hermione ignored the two of them, and with a fluttering wave of her hand, she cast a spell on her trouser leg and the corner of her coat, like a warm breeze, and in an instant the magic took away the moisture and sludge from her trouser leg.
Clean up the mud from the soles of your shoes. "I remember that the sword was clearly on the cabinet in the principal's office, but when I got it, Dean Bridged said it was a fake."
"Tell me how you got it?" Owen looked at Hermione with a smirk, leaning against the wooden fence with a playful expression.
Roar, roar, roar - you, a good student, have finally learned badly!
"You know, Cloak of Invisibility!"
"Cloak of invisibility?" Harry was stunned, alas- it seemed to be his!
Ever since the last time Hermione said she wanted to read more books in the library, so she asked him to borrow the Cloak of Invisibility, and she still hasn't returned it! (After dinner, Mrs. Pince kicks out the little wizard who can't leave the library.) )
"By the way, what have you been doing in the Cloak of Invisibility these days?" Harry asked curiously.
Ron, on the other hand, immediately thought of the so-called Weasley treasures.
Could it be that the two of them didn't sleep in the middle of the night looking for his family's treasure?
"Whose test are you subjected to? Why look for the Gryffindor Sword? Owen rolled his eyes.
Looking at Hermione, who frowned slightly, she asked suspiciously.
The Gryffindor Sword, created on the basis of the legendary monarch King Arthur's "sword in stone".
The story about King Arthur and the legendary wizard Merlin is the wind and the sand, and it is widely spread in the European Muggle world. (Wizards don't know much about it.) )
Just as only the true King of Britain can draw the Sword in the Stone, only the current Gryffindor can gain the approval of the Gryffindor Sword.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that this sword is the only one left by the founder that has not been harmed by Voldemort.
So, not many people know about this sword, especially in previous histories.
Before Dumbledore.
There is no record in history of a Gryffindor having been approved for this sword.
Not to mention that the former headmaster wasn't from Gryffindor House at all.
Of course—there may have been a real Gryffindor who left his will in the underground vault, and that maybe.
"Godric Gryffindor." Hermione said.
