"Hey, Albert, come down!" Charlie looked up at the black shadow flying up and down over the court, feeling both relieved and helpless. When he turned his head to look at Fred and George next to him, they immediately turned their heads in other directions and didn't look at Charlie, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with them.
"He's coming down." Angelina said suddenly.
In everyone's sight, Albert was falling at an extremely fast speed, so fast that it was as if he had jumped directly from a plane without a parachute. In the blink of an eye, he was about to make close contact with the ground.
"ah!"
"He's going to hit the ground."
In the chaos, no one knew who was screaming, and some people even closed their eyes in fear to avoid seeing Albert falling to the ground.
However, Albert stopped diving just a few feet above the ground and rose again. The momentum brought by the dive, mixed with strong wind, blew everyone's hair.
The next moment, exclamations and applause sounded simultaneously.
"Oh my God, how did he do that?" Arya's face turned pale. The Weasley twins next to her were cheering loudly, while Cormac McLaggen, who was also a substitute, clenched his fists.
Whether the players are willing to admit it or not, Albert's flying skills are indeed far superior to most people. Even Charlie didn't dare to try his risky move just now, and he would definitely crash directly into the ground. However, Albert succeeded. For him, such an adventure is just like an exciting game.
A few seconds later, Albert slowly descended again. After landing on the ground, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the wonderful feeling of flying at high speed on the broom. The sweeping six stars was even better than he expected. With just a light touch, the broom would turn as he wished.
Admittedly, the broom itself still has some flaws, but Albert is still very satisfied with the sweep of six stars.
"That dive just now made me feel like my heart almost skipped a beat," Angelina said with a smile.
"Great flying." Charlie raised his fist and gently hit Albert's shoulder, then put his arm around his neck and said with a smile, "It's a rare opportunity to come to the Quidditch field, so don't even think about slipping away like this!"
After a pleasant day of flying, Albert returned to the Gryffindor common room with everyone after finishing training. When they entered the common room, they found that people were buzzing about something, with excitement on their faces.
"What happened?" Albert asked Lee Jordan, who was sitting by the fireplace playing wizard cards with Shanna.
"The first Hogsmeade weekend." Lee Jordan pointed at the notice on the notice board and winked at the three of them. "It's in early November."
A trip to Hogsmeade!
The three of them smiled knowingly. Hogsmeade was nothing to them. As long as they wanted, they could go to Hogsmeade through the secret passage at any time.
"It has nothing to do with us, right?" Fred shrugged and smiled. The three of them returned to the dormitory and took a nice hot shower. When they returned to the common room, George got a mouse from somewhere.
"Where did you find the mouse?" Albert asked puzzledly, his eyes falling on the mouse in George's hands.
"Guess?" George showed a malicious smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Percy's pet?" Albert reached into his pocket and took out a biscuit. After unwrapping the paper, he handed the biscuit to the mouse.
As expected, Banban started to eat happily. No wonder, he was still a human being after all. Even if he had turned into a mouse, he would still want to eat some decent food.
"This rat has suffered a lot." Albert made a clicking sound and glanced at his front paw, where a toe was missing. "Its lifespan won't be too long. Generally, a rat's lifespan is 3 or 4 years, which is considered very long. It's very old. I doubt if it can survive next summer."
"Well, are we going there?" Fred asked in a low voice, not caring about the life span of the mouse. "It's better to get that done before Percy finds out."
"That's fine." Albert took out his wand and waved it. The biscuit package turned into a long and thin cage. Albert put the mouse inside and left some biscuits inside before putting it in his schoolbag.
The four of them hurriedly left the Gryffindor common room and headed for the Room of Requirement.
"No problem, there's no one." Albert glanced at the Marauder's Map and saw Peter Pettigrew's name on it. A happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Because Albert found that there were new tasks on the task panel, which was a pleasant thing!
However, Albert was not in a hurry to look at the panel tasks, but entered the Room of Requirement, which turned into an empty room with only four walls and a door, with torches burning on the walls.
"Okay, let's get started!"
Albert motioned for everyone to put on their earmuffs, then took Banban out of his schoolbag.
"Why don't you bring it?" Albert looked at Li Jordan puzzledly.
"The Mandrake is still underage, so at most it will fall into a coma?" Li Jordan didn't care much about this matter. "Besides, aren't you wearing it?"
"I'll plug my ears." Albert took out the earplugs.
"If I faint, remember to send me to the school hospital." Li Jordan seemed to be planning to use himself to test the power of the mandrake's cry.
The three of them looked at each other.
Albert did not force it any more. It would take at least a few months for the mandrake to fully mature, and the crying sound was not very lethal.
When everyone was ready, Albert put on his earplugs and took out the magic item that stored the sound of the mandrake's cry from his pocket.
He raised his hand towards everyone, made a three, two, one gesture, then pressed the switch to open the container, and a shrill sound rang out in the room.
The sharp and piercing sound was amplified countless times by the loud voice, and even Albert could vaguely hear the sound, but he did not feel faint.
Lee Jordan frowned slightly and covered his ears with his hands to block out the cries of Mandrake. He felt a little dizzy, but did not faint.
However, the unfortunate Banban fainted, perhaps because he cried too loudly.
The next second, Mandrake's crying disappeared from the room.
Albert signaled that everyone could take off their earmuffs, looked at Li Jordan and asked, "How is it?"
"It seems to have some effect. I feel dizzy." Li Qiaodan said.
"The cry of the mandrake can be fatal. It should be related to some kind of spell contained in the sound. However, after I recorded the cry and played it back, it means that the power of the spell has been greatly weakened." Albert explained.
The principle is the same as the direct gaze of the basilisk. The snake eyes can kill people, but after being refracted through the mirror, the power of the snake eyes will be weakened and can only petrify people. The cry of the mandrake can indeed kill people, but it is not mature yet, the power itself is not strong enough, and it has been severely weakened. It is understandable that the power is insufficient.
The crying of the mandrake is indeed a curse and has nothing to do with infrasound or anything like that. This is quite normal, I guess.
"Let's go, we'd better send this poor mouse back before Percy finds it." Albert didn't want anything unpleasant to happen to the three brothers.
Having said that, Banban is essentially a wizard, and using him to conduct this experiment was a wrong decision in itself.
