Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 218: Coincidence and necessity

Views:

Before returning to Hogwarts from Hogsmeade, Fred and his friends were unwilling to just go back like that, so they suggested going with Hagrid to see his new pet Fluffy, but unfortunately they were rejected by Hagrid. In order to prevent them from running around, the game ranger personally escorted Albert and his friends back to Hogwarts Academy.

"Don't let me see you sneaking into Hogsmeade again, or I'll tell Professor McGonagall." Hagrid left after saying this.

"What do you think? Next time we go to Hogsmeade, should we put an Disillusionment Charm on ourselves?" Lee Jordan muttered softly as he looked at Hagrid's departing back.

However, Li Jordan is a little lacking in confidence. He still hasn't mastered a more complicated spell like the Disillusionment Charm. If he wants to cast an Disillusionment Charm on himself, he needs Albert's help.

"It seems that I need to work harder, otherwise I will be left further and further behind by Albert," he thought.

"That's a good idea," George said with regret. It was a rare trip to Hogsmeade, but he didn't have enough fun before returning.

"Where are you going to put this thing?" Fred asked, referring to the salt in his hand.

"Room of Requirement."

"I guess so."

"I suggest you go to the kitchen now and see if there is anything you can grill. We can use the fireplace in the common room to grill something later." Albert took out the barrel of butterbeer from his pocket and handed it to Fred, reminding him, "Remember to remove the curse before opening the barrel."

"I don't know how to remove the curse." Fred took the butter beer and shook his head. He really didn't know how to remove the curse. Even the simplest one was too difficult for a student who had just entered the second grade.

"Then wait until I get back." Albert took the Marauder's Map handed to him by Fred and prepared to separate from the others as he passed through the hallway.

"What if there is no food in the kitchen?" Li Jordan suddenly asked.

"Then let's go to the Black Lake and catch some fish." Albert said without hesitation.

"What's going on? You're planning on going fishing at this time?" Fred looked at Albert in disbelief. They had just returned from Hogsmeade and their faces were already red from the freezing wind.

"No, fishing is a hobby. I don't have the habit of fishing in winter. You can try using the Flying Spell." Albert noticed the strange expressions on Fred and the others' faces, frowned slightly, and then suddenly realized and muttered: "Oh, I almost forgot that the British almost don't eat freshwater fish."

"Aren't you British yourself?" The three of them couldn't help but want to complain, "Or do you want to say that you actually eat freshwater fish?"

"See you later, remember to bring some more food." Albert smiled and walked away.

Foreigners who don't know how to use chopsticks rarely eat freshwater fish with a lot of fish bones. Well, actually they just don't know how to eat it, after all, knives and forks are powerless when facing fish bones.

Thinking of this, Albert shook his head helplessly. This is only the case because there are few people and abundant resources. If there were many people and few resources, there wouldn't even be any freshwater fish to eat.

"Most of the students are heading to Hogsmeade by now."

When he arrived at the eighth floor, Albert carefully observed the situation on the eighth floor through the Marauder's Map, and he saw a familiar name.

Professor Rowena Smith

Albert was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "Coincidence, or... is he going to the Room of Requirement?"

After arriving at the Room of Requirement, Albert found that he could not get in and the door did not open

"Is there really someone inside?" Albert looked at the entrance of the Room of Requirement and walked towards the Gryffindor common room.

"Professor Trelawney? Or was it Professor Smith?"

"Last year, Professor Broad seemed to know about the existence of the Room of Requirement... The latter possibility should be higher, so... what did Professor Smith do in the Room of Requirement? What secrets are hidden in it?"

What secrets does the Room of Requirement hold

"Ravenclaw's treasure trove of knowledge?" Albert felt that he might have guessed the answer.

After all, Professor Smith and Professor Broad are both from Ravenclaw. If they find the Room of Requirement and the secret inside, it would not be difficult for them to enter Ravenclaw's treasure trove of knowledge.

"Password, do you want to go in or not?" The Fat Lady was already very impatient and stared at Albert angrily.

"Oh, sorry, the password is cream cake." Albert noticed the Fat Lady's unfriendly expression and said embarrassedly. After the entrance to the common room was opened, he immediately went in. The rest of the common room were first and second year students who were not allowed to go to Hogsmeade. They were doing homework, chatting, or playing games.

Albert put the bucket of salt back in the dormitory. When he returned to the common room, he found that Fred and his friends had returned and brought sausages, meat pies, potato chips and a small bottle of sliced beef from the kitchen. As for the barrel of shrunken butter beer that he spent one galleon on, they placed it on the table by the fireplace.

"Look, we got something good from the kitchen." Fred happily lifted the skewer of beef and placed it by the fireplace to grill.

"Put the other food on the skewers." Albert pulled out his wand and waved it at the bamboo sticks, doubling the number of them.

George and others hurried to help skewer the food.

Albert waved his wand again, returning the barrel of butterbeer to its original state, then conjured up wine glasses and filled them for the four of them. Sana and Angelina, who had already been attracted by this, finally couldn't help themselves.

"Where on earth did you get this barrel of beer?"

"We had a little help from the robbers," Fred said mischievously, winking at Angelina.

"Barbecue and beer, you really know how to enjoy it!" Sana couldn't help but sigh as she took the butterbeer handed over by Albert.

"Thank you." Angelina also took the butterbeer handed to her by Fred and took a sip.

"This tastes a bit strange. I prefer the taste of cola and soda." Shanna muttered softly after taking a sip of butterbeer.

"I wasn't used to it at first either." Albert distributed the butterbeer to Fred and the others, and raised a glass to clink glasses with them.

The roasted meat and sausages in the fireplace began to emit an enticing aroma. Several lower grade students stared at the scene in amazement and couldn't help swallowing.

Sadly, they were not invited.

"It's nice to eat barbecue in winter." Albert picked up the roasted beef and took a bite. The seasoning of the house elf was a little light for him. "It would be even better if we could skewer some vegetables."

“You’re asking for a lot,” George muttered.

"It would be even better if you could heat up the butterbeer." Fred looked at Albert and asked, "Can't you?"

"I'm not omnipotent." Albert couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I'm just asking," Fred said with a smile. "Maybe you really can do it?"

No one knows how many kinds of magic Albert has mastered. After all, in their opinion, this guy knows a lot.
