"Who's in first?"
After finishing breakfast, the group was standing in front of the entrance to the mirror secret passage on the fifth floor.
"Need I ask? Of course I'll pick one of you three!" Albert said as a matter of course, "You've been in there once, so you've got experience."
"Okay, I'll go in first." Fred walked down the stairs carefully, and the other three followed immediately. The mirror returned to its place after the four people entered the secret passage.
The passage was a bit crowded, the slope was steep, and it was pitch black all around. The four people walked slowly down the stairs.
Albert raised his wand and muttered, "Lumos!"
"I hate this narrow and dark place." Li Jordan complained in a low voice.
"Don't complain, just keep up." Fred was concentrating on maintaining the glow spell and slowly walked down the stairs.
The passage was so narrow that it was difficult for the two of them to pass sideways. It was dark all around, and they walked a long way along the stairs. During the journey, Fred's wand went out several times.
"I think you should practice the Luminous Charm. It's the most basic spell." Albert pointed his wand forward and reminded.
"I hate this feeling," Fred muttered quietly, trying to get his wand to glow again.
"After we walk up this flight of stairs, the space ahead will be wider. Let Albert lead the way!" George suggested. He was tired of having to stop every few minutes.
"Okay!"
After walking up the stairs, they came to a gloomy passage. The ground was a little damp, made of hard soil. Occasionally, water dripped from overhead. One drop fell on Albert's face, making him shiver. He quickly reached out to wipe the water off his face and continued walking forward.
Along the way, Albert walked very slowly to avoid falling accidentally. No one else spoke, focusing all their attention on dealing with the uneven ground of the passage.
The four of them stumbled forward. The passage was winding and no one knew who dug it.
Then again, it’s a bit strange that they didn’t suffocate to death.
Albert raised his wand above his head and looked up the passage.
"What are you looking at?" Fred asked.
"Um, there are vents above your head?"
"Where is it?" The three of them looked up at the same time, but did not find the ventilation hole that Albert mentioned.
"Just where we just walked."
After walking for 1 hour and 20 minutes, the passage began to extend upwards, which meant that the exit was very close. The four people, panting, began to speed up their pace.
Five minutes later, they could all feel the cold wind blowing from outside.
The entrance to the secret passage is under a large hidden rock, and the exit is very narrow, so the fat man might get stuck.
It's still raining outside, but not very heavy.
After Albert walked out of the passage, he took out his umbrella and opened it to block the rain from above his head.
The three Weasleys squeezed over quickly.
"You didn't bring an umbrella." Albert was doubtful.
"No." The three of them shook their heads.
Albert used the cloning spell to create three handfuls of rain for them.
"You're still as reliable as ever," the three of them praised shamelessly.
"By the way, this umbrella is so weird?" Li Qiaodan looked at the umbrella in his hand curiously. It can actually extend and retract
"This is a new invention made by the Germans a few years ago. It is convenient and easy to carry." Albert cast an invulnerability spell on himself to ensure that his clothes and boots would not get wet when he walked through the lush grassland.
"Be careful?" When he heard George's exclamation, he turned around and saw Lee Jordan falling to the ground, his whole body wet.
"Are you okay?" Fred quickly reached out and pulled the man up.
"What a bad luck! My clothes are all wet." Li Jordan complained in a low voice.
The twins looked at Albert.
"Why are you looking at me like that? It wasn't me who caused him to fall." Albert was a little confused.
"Have you mastered the drying charm?"
"What makes you think I know this kind of family magic?" Albert asked back unhappily.
"Ahem, we were just asking casually. We felt like you knew all kinds of magic." Fred coughed dryly to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"I say, can you three leave here first?" Lee Jordan, who was soaked all over, was in a terrible mood. "I hate rain the most, the most, the most."
They walked through the grass towards the Hogsmeade village ahead.
Perhaps because of the rain, the streets of Hogsmeade were deserted. Lee Jordan, with chattering teeth, suggested going to the Three Broomsticks first. He wanted to have a cup of butterbeer to warm himself up.
The three of them had no objection.
They walked along a street and after a few minutes, they easily found the bar the three men mentioned.
Well, there are three brooms hanging on the door of this bar, forming a triangle.
What made Albert want to complain was that the pointed triangular roof above the door was actually crooked. Should he say that it was worthy of being a house built by a wizard
Completely disregarding the laws of physics and universal visual aesthetics.
Of course, there was a sign in front of the bar that read: Three Broomsticks.
There were few people in the bar today. When Albert went in, he only saw a wizard sitting at the counter chatting with the proprietress.
There was a blazing fire in the fireplace. Lee Jordan hurried over, took off his robe and put it beside the fireplace to dry.
"I'll go order some drinks," Albert said as he walked towards the counter. The twins looked at each other and then sat in the chair opposite Lee Jordan.
"Four bottles of butterbeer, warm," Albert said to the bar's landlady.
The wizard seemed unhappy about being interrupted in his conversation and turned around to glare at Albert.
Albert glanced at him expressionlessly, then ignored him and sat down next to the wizard.
"Where did this little ghost come from?" the wizard muttered softly, but after being glared at by the proprietress of the Three Broomsticks, he shut up obediently.
"Are you students from Hogwarts?" Madam Rosmerta looked at the four young wizards who entered the store with surprise. She couldn't understand how these four little guys had sneaked out of Hogwarts.
"How much?" Albert asked expressionlessly.
"Eight Sickles." Madam Rosmerta went into the back room and warmed their butterbeer.
Albert looked around the bar in his spare time.
Honestly, this place is much better than the Leaky Cauldron.
The bar's lobby was bright, with several tables neatly placed and kept very clean. There was no strong smell of beer, but the furnishings were a bit like the medieval tavern in the game that I remembered.
After waiting for about five minutes, four cups of butterbeer were placed in front of Albert, and he quickly called someone to help him get them.
"8 Sickles." Albert took out eight Sickles and placed them on the table, picked up a cup and walked to the table next to the fireplace.
The butter beer exuded a strong buttery aroma. Albert took a sip and felt that it was a bit like less greasy butter candy. It was very smooth to drink and had little alcohol. It was more like a drink.
"How do you feel?" The three of them looked at Albert in unison.
"It's very ordinary, just a drink." Albert looked at the three people, blinked his eyes and said, "It's just like you drink Muggle soda drinks. It's not bad, but you're not used to it."
The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing, as if they were expecting to hear such an evaluation from you.
