Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 111: Who is here

Views:

The three men pushed aside the Fat Lady's portrait and climbed out of the cave.

“Who is it that goes out at this time?” The Fat Lady opened her hazy eyes, glanced at the three departing black shadows, and muttered in dissatisfaction.

Albert and the other two didn't say anything. They walked quickly in the corridor towards the corridor where the tapestry of the troll beating Barnabas silly with his club was.

"Is this the place you're talking about?" George asked in a low voice, looking at the wall opposite the tapestry.

"Yes, it's right here. You need to concentrate on the place you need and walk through the wall three times, then a door will appear on the wall." Albert motioned the twins to stand aside, then began to concentrate and prepare to open the entrance to the Room of Requirement.

However, when he passed the wall three times, he found that there was no door in the wall.

"No door?" Fred and George looked at Albert with confusion.

Albert looked at the wall opposite the tapestry and fell into a brief silence. Before the twins could speak again, he reached out and pushed them, signaling everyone to leave quickly.

"What's going on?"

After the three of them walked forward for a distance, Fred stopped and asked in confusion, "Is it you..."

"There's someone inside. There's someone inside the Room of Requirement." Albert said with certainty, "We can't open the door from the outside unless there's someone inside. Unless you can guess which room the person is in."

"Are you sure you didn't open it the wrong way?" George asked suspiciously.

"Impossible, I've been in there several times." Albert shook his head and said, "Besides, there's no need for me to deceive you. It's meaningless to do so."

The twins looked at each other, and agreed that there was no need for Albert to joke at this time, and the other party did not seem to be joking.

"Who do you think is in there?" George asked curiously.

"I don't know, it's probably a couple. After all, it's a good place for couples to date, and no one will bother them." Albert said casually, "However, there should be only a few people who know about this place."

"Why?" Fred asked puzzled.

"Would you be willing to share secrets with too many people?" George couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"That's right." Albert nodded. "The Room of Requirement is a magical place. It will provide you with whatever place you need."

"Is it really that magical?" they said in unison.

"What else?" Albert whispered, "Let's try again at another time. Of course, if you don't believe me, just think I'm lying to you."

"Why not?" Fred said, "That will be our secret base from now on."

"Have you figured out how to use it?" Albert asked.

"No." George thought for a moment and said, "At least, when we go out at night, we don't have to worry about being left outside the lounge overnight."

"That's all you can do," Fred said contemptuously.

"What about you?" Albert asked back.

"I... haven't thought about it yet," Fred muttered.

"How dare you say that to me." George said contemptuously.

"What about you?" They both looked at Albert.

"Me?" Albert paused. "From now on, you can come here to brew potions, practice magic, find a quiet place to do homework, or make something."

"And if you need to hold your pee, you can find a urinal here."

"It's also okay when we're on a date."

"Tell me, do you have a girl you like and are ready to abandon George?" Albert asked righteously.

"Why do you make me sound like I've been abandoned?" George was speechless.

"Stop it." Fred couldn't help rolling his eyes and changed the subject: "Let's take you to other places first. We know a lot of hidden secret passages. Let's go to the library later!"

"Okay, that's a good idea." Albert nodded and agreed to the twins' proposal. He could take the opportunity to speed up the progress of exploring Hogwarts.

As for who is using the Room of Requirement, Albert does not think it is a couple. Although he cannot rule out this possibility, he has other ideas in his mind.

Who is the most suspicious person at Hogwarts

The answer is undoubtedly the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Although Badbrod left a good impression on Albert, every professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts was suspicious:

From Voldemort's minions, a writer who part-times as a liar, a werewolf, a fake former Auror who is a real undercover agent, a toad from the Ministry of Magic who deliberately stirs up trouble, Mr. Double Agent, to the final Death Eater brother and sister.

In fact, Albert suspected Professor Broad because they had met Professor Broad here before.

Could it be another one of Voldemort's minions

Albert began to daydream, but quickly shook the thought off.

If they were Death Eaters, few would be willing to talk to a Muggle wizard. After all, it was an indisputable fact that Death Eaters hated Muggle wizards.

"This way..." Fred led the way, and the three stopped in front of the knight statue. Two of them showed Albert how to use the password to open the secret passage.

The three of them spent most of the next time wandering around the castle. Albert was very satisfied with the current progress of the exploration. After George showed him the secret passage leading to the outside of the castle, he couldn't help but wonder if Sirius Black sneaked into the castle through this secret passage a few years later.

"Peeves is on the third floor. Do you think we should use it to wake up Filch?" Fred suggested as he stopped to check the map. "It would be fun to get Filch up and look for us. He probably just fell asleep not long ago."

They both looked at Albert, waiting for his opinion.

"Okay, but where are you going to hide? Don't tell me you're going to play hide-and-seek with Filch in the castle." Albert agreed.

"We can cause some trouble for Filch, and with your Disillusionment Charm, he won't be able to catch us." Fred took out a bag of dung bombs from his pocket and winked at Albert. It seemed that this guy came prepared.

"Okay, what are you going to do."

"You guys hide first, and then I'll take over." Fred disappeared in a flash.

"Come on!" Albert raised his wand and tapped George's head gently. The latter shuddered and was surprised to find that his body had merged with the surroundings.

"That's cool." George said excitedly as he used the glow charm to check his body. "I bet even if I stand under Filch's nose, he definitely can't catch me."

"It's best not to take risks. My Disillusionment Charm isn't very good." Albert reminded himself after using the Disillusionment Charm on himself. "If Filch looks carefully, he can still find it."

The two had just exchanged a few words when they heard Peeves' roar from the other side of the corridor, "Students don't sleep, they're wandering around in the middle of the night."

"Last time, when we were out at night, we encountered Peeves, and that guy did the same thing." George winked at Albert. However, he forgot that he had a Disillusionment Charm on him, so other people couldn't see the expression on his face.

Soon, Fred hurried over here and was grabbed by George and dragged into the secret passage behind the portrait.

"That's so cool, I didn't even notice you." Fred looked at the two people's bodies and said excitedly, "Albert, use the Disillusionment Charm on me quickly."
