Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 108: Then fool around

Views:

"Mr. Weasley, I need to remind you of something. Your two holiday assignments are identical, except for a few differences."

After class, Professor McGonagall called Fred and George over and handed their holiday homework back to them. "Take it back and redo it. Next time, if you do something similar again, you'll be put in detention. Do your homework yourself and don't always try to copy others'."

"We all did it ourselves. We are in sync with each other. I can only say that we have such a tacit understanding." The twins looked at each other and explained in unison.

Professor McGonagall was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect the twins to have such a high level of tacit understanding. She looked them up and down, nodded and said, "Okay, forget it this time. If there is a next time, I will put you in detention."

Watching Professor McGonagall's departing back, the twins happily high-fived each other and winked at Lee Jordan and Albert.

"In fact, Professor McGonagall has seen through your tricks long ago. I believe Snape will not let you go easily." Albert reminded.

His words soon came true. The twins' rhetoric was no match for Snape. The Potions Professor simply stared at them coldly and said, "Take it back and redo it."

"At least Snape gave you a chance." Lee Jordan patted Fred's shoulder gloatingly and said, "You know, that's Snape. You're lucky you didn't get detained."

"I think Snape can see through our thoughts." George said suddenly.

"Don't look directly into Snape's eyes, it's easy to be seen through." Albert reminded, "That is definitely a kind of magic, although I haven't figured out what kind of magic it is yet."

"Magic?" The three of them looked at each other, but still believed it to about 80%.

"In the near future, I plan to..." Albert raised his hand and made a walking gesture, "I need to pass through the rope on the fifth floor of the castle."

"When are you going to..." Fred's eyes lit up. They knew that Albert had mastered the Disillusionment Charm. With this weapon for night travel, he basically didn't need to worry about being caught by Filch.

"Recently." Albert stopped and raised his hand to catch the object flying towards him. When he opened it, he saw that it was a piece of chalk.

"Good afternoon, Peeves!" Albert raised his wand and bounced away all the chalk boxes thrown by Peeves.

Peeves made a face at a few people and was about to throw something over here.

"This is for you..."

Albert threw the chalk back, and it passed through Peeves' head and hit the wall behind him. Peeves made a rude gesture towards them, turned around and floated away.

"That's a great place." Fred whispered, "I've always wanted to go in and take a look. I heard that the books there are dangerous."

"What are you talking about?" Li Qiaodan didn't follow their thoughts and looked at them in confusion.

"Library, rope," George reminded.

"You mean..." Li Qiaodan suddenly realized, but before he could finish his words, he was glared at by the three of them and swallowed his words back.

"It's good for you to know it yourself." Albert patted his shoulder.

"However, the things there are still too advanced for us." Li Qiaodan also knew his own capabilities, so he never thought of going there because he simply couldn't learn anything there.

"The magic of the past is a bit dangerous for people today." Albert said disapprovingly: "In ancient times, wizards were almost unrestrained. The magic they created and used at that time was the product of no scruples. Many spells seem messy now, and when they were recorded, they were not standardized, let alone easy to understand."

Those ancient books are hard to understand without research, and some are written in ancient magic. Therefore, Hogwarts puts those books in the restricted area to prevent students from reading them and trying to use them, which may end up hurting themselves.

But Albert is different, he has a panel!

As long as he reads the book, he can master any spell that appears on the panel through the experience pool.

It is actually necessary to expand the diversity of magic.

"What you said reminds me of Open Sesame." Fred remembered the time when Albert took down the door of Professor McGonagall's office.

"I looked up this spell later. Before the opening of the Alaho, the spell people used to open locks was 'Open Door' and then 'Open Sesame'." Under the interested gazes of the three people, Albert continued: "This spell will be like a rude visitor, kicking down someone's door, and in a sense, the door is open."

“In comparison, the current Alaho opening is indeed more sophisticated, which is also one of the characteristics of contemporary spells.”

"It's unbelievable." Li Jordan was stunned.

"This spell is so... cool." The twins' eyes sparkled with eagerness to try it out.

After lunch, the Weasley twins had to go to the library. They had more homework than others, and if they didn't finish it on time, they might really be put in detention by Snape.

This was a nightmare for both of them and they couldn't let it happen no matter what.

"What weird stuff are you studying again?" After finishing his homework, Li Jordan glanced at Albert's parchment. There were many strange symbols on it, but he couldn't understand them at all.

"The rune symbol." Albert pointed to a rune symbol with three intersecting lines, which looked a bit like a cross with one line missing and one more slant on the right. "This symbolizes wealth. It is said that if it is made into a talisman and worn, it can increase a person's fortune."

"I think you have good fortune." Li Qiaodan muttered softly.

"No one would mind if their fortune was better." Albert said lightly.

"Is this thing useful?" The twins who were busy doing their homework leaned over, "We need some luck recently."

"Then you need some Felicis," said Albert.

"What is that?"

"Lucky water. It is said that drinking it can bring good luck to a person for a period of time."

"There is such a thing?" The twins felt incredible.

"Yes, but it is said that it will take several months to prepare this potion."

"A few months!" George couldn't help but raise his voice. After being stared at by a group of people, he quickly retracted his neck and pretended to be a nobody.

"The preparation of the Felixir is very difficult. The slightest mistake can turn it into poison," Albert said in a low voice.

"How do you know?"

"I found it when I was looking for information for my Snape homework last time. Later, I looked it up again because I was interested, but unfortunately I couldn't find the formula for the Felixir." Albert explained casually.

"I'm more curious, are these things you made effective?" Field had been watching from the side for a long time and suddenly asked.

"I bet it won't work." Albert couldn't help rolling his eyes. "The rune you were looking at just now is to increase the attractiveness of boys."

"Oh, then where is the way to increase the charm of girls?" Field asked casually. In fact, Field also learned ancient magic, although she only got an E in the exam, but she could still feel that Albert had a high level of attainment in this area.

It's really weird, how did he master all this knowledge

Those complex runes were not easy to draw. She looked at them for a long time and was only able to make them out through the annotations on the parchment.

"Oh, no. After all, I'm a man." Albert said as a matter of course, "If these runes are effective, I will definitely use them on myself first."
