The next morning, after having breakfast in the auditorium, Albert and his three companions disappeared.
Although the second-year students have finished their exams, students in other grades are still preparing for their exams and no one pays any attention to them.
After the four of them confirmed through the Marauder's Map that Hagrid was helping the professor of magical biology, they used the Disillusionment Charm to sneak around the Quidditch pitch and sneak into the Forbidden Forest.
Flying above the Forbidden Forest is much safer than flying directly through the Forbidden Forest.
"Well, don't make a fuss, we'll be watching you from behind!" Fred looked at the somewhat nervous Lee Jordan and couldn't help but joked. Lee Jordan's flying skills were really average, and perhaps because he hadn't flown much, he didn't seem to have much confidence.
"How about we change the broom?" Lee Jordan complained stubbornly, "Or you shut up."
"Is our direction okay?" Fred changed the subject, pretending not to hear what the other party was saying.
“It should be fine!”
Albert would stop every few minutes to look at the pointer on the treasure map and check the direction they were flying. Fred and George used to walk in the forbidden forest for several hours, but now they only took less than ten minutes to fly a long distance.
"I have a question. Will we get lost later? I mean, will we not be able to figure out the exact location of Hogwarts?" Lee Jordan expressed his concerns.
The Forbidden Forest is so huge that even if you fly over the forest, you might get lost and end up somewhere else. It would be terrible if you got lost.
"Don't worry, I buried something in the forbidden forest outside the school that can be used as a positioning coordinate. When the time comes, I will use tracking magic to locate the location of Hogwarts through the item."
Hogwarts Castle could not be located, but the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade could be located. What's more, if that didn't work, he could just Apparate. Albert was not worried at all about getting lost.
"That's good!" Lee Jordan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I said, how could Albert not be prepared?" Fred was relieved. "It's really different to have a reliable teammate."
As he said that, he glanced at George. If George had been reliable last time, he wouldn't have ended up like that.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking." George snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Okay, stop arguing. We are going down. The location indicated by the treasure map should be nearby. Be careful and don't descend to the ground all of a sudden." Albert began to take the lead in lowering the altitude.
“I don’t know what kind of treasure there will be.”
"Don't think too much. It's more likely to be a scam." Albert did not forget to give the three people a shot of prevention: "The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!"
"I think you should say it's true." Fred muttered, a little worried that Albert might be right.
This place is already deep in the forbidden forest. It is very dark below the forest. Several people are suspended on a big tree, observing the situation around them.
Albert threw several balls of light downwards. It must be said that the advanced luminous spell was very convenient. It immediately illuminated a large area nearby.
"Do you think this will attract some dangerous creatures?" Lee Jordan said a little worriedly.
"I just want to see if there are any dangerous creatures below." Albert didn't care. They observed from above for five minutes and made sure there was no danger below before landing on the ground.
After landing, Albert immediately chanted a spell around him to drive away any wild beasts that might be nearby.
"You are quite alert." Fred handed the broom to Albert, took the treasure map and began to look for the location of the secret treasure.
After Albert put all the flying brooms into the Traceless Stretching Bag, Fred led the way with the treasure map, while Albert led the three of them to be alert to their surroundings to avoid being attacked. The three of them had trained in magic confrontation for a long time, and they all knew that they needed to stay alert after entering the Forbidden Forest.
"The direction the map points to is right ahead." Fred raised his hand and pointed ahead.
"Do you smell anything?" George muttered.
The surrounding area stinks, which is obviously not a good sign.
"It's probably a forest monster." Albert raised his hand to signal them to stop and be alert. "If it's that thing, its weak point is the back of the head."
"It stinks, I hate those guys," muttered Lee Jordan, who was obviously a little too nervous.
"If we encounter giant monsters, limit their speed first and I will deal with them." Albert added. He knew that he had to give them confidence.
The four of them maintained their formation and continued to move forward. They did not encounter any trolls, but found a place similar to a troll's nest. Albert was not sure whether the trolls lived in caves, but he was really unwilling to go in, or even get close, because it was too smelly, and it made him feel sick, as if he was thrown into a cesspool.
This is comparable to biological weapons!
"Ugh, those stinky eggs were made from the troll's body odor."
The four decided to stay away from here to avoid being overwhelmed by the stench.
"Ugh, this is definitely a bad joke. Ugh~ I feel like I'm about to vomit all my breakfast today."
Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were all holding onto tree trunks and retching.
Albert's condition was not good either. He suppressed his nausea and dry-heaved a few times before he suppressed the surging discomfort.
"Do you want to go in there?" he suddenly asked.
"That's not a funny joke," Fred muttered. "I feel like we might suffocate to death in there."
"Bubble Head Curse."
Albert opened the skill panel, searched for the Cannon Head Curse skill, and directly upgraded it from level one to level two.
"I haven't tried this spell much." Albert put a hood on himself.
"What is this?" George pointed at the huge bubble around Albert's head and couldn't help asking.
"It looks really funny."
At this moment, Albert's facial features seemed to be stretched and widened, which made him look very funny.
"The Bubble Head Spell can isolate the stench and provide us with breathing. It can probably last for more than half an hour." Albert began to cast the Bubble Head Spell on the other three people. Albert was not very proficient in using this spell.
"Half an hour is enough, let's hurry up!" After hesitating, Fred and the other two decided to go and explore.
No matter what, this matter can be boasted to others.
"If only you had brought a camera." Lee Jordan muttered. The four of them headed for the nest, and Albert threw a ball of light into it. It must be said that it was a horrible scene. There were not only the living garbage of the trolls, but also some animal skeletons. This seemed to indicate that there were trolls living here.
“Maybe this is a really bad decision,” George muttered.
"Who knows? Get ready for battle." Albert had already heard the roar of the trolls, and there might be more than one.
