"I didn't expect you to be right again." As Fred spoke, he turned his head and looked around. Seeing that there was no one else in the corridor, he whispered to the three people, "The principal is really monitoring that place."
"Just now I really thought that we would be deducted a lot of points by Professor Dumbledore, and severely scolded and put in detention. I didn't expect the headmaster to just ask us to keep it a secret."
The three of them were really startled when the principal suddenly appeared. George turned his head to look at Albert and asked curiously, "Did you do something that made the principal let us go so easily?"
"I thought you had forgotten what you promised!" Albert raised his index finger and made a hushing gesture to the three people.
After an exciting adventure, they all felt a little hungry, so they went to the kitchen together to get some midnight snack.
Now, on the way back to the dormitory.
"I bet they've forgotten it a long time ago," Lee Jordan quipped.
"If your mouth wasn't full, I'm sure you'd talk more than the rest of us." Fred snatched the oil paper bag of potato pancakes from Lee Jordan's hand and glared at the sarcastic guy in front of him with dissatisfaction.
"Come to think of it, you can actually eat it." George looked at Lee Jordan with his mouth full of food and shook his head.
Although they did not come into contact with the troll, passing by the troll's room still made them feel uncomfortable and they wanted to go back and take a shower.
"Why can't I eat?"
Lee Jordan had just finished speaking when Fred took off his boots and held them in front of him.
"Ugh, you're such a bastard." Li Qiaodan almost vomited out everything he had just eaten.
The next moment, the two of them started chasing and fighting each other.
"Really?" Albert shook his head.
At this moment, there were still many people in the Gryffindor common room busy with their own things, but the room was exceptionally quiet.
Some fifth and seventh year students were working hard on their lessons, while Percy, as the prefect, was maintaining order in the common room.
Anyone who dared to speak loudly in the common room would immediately receive a glare from Percy.
So, Fred, who was nagging just now, got into trouble as soon as he entered the common room.
"Where have you been? Why do you smell so bad? It stinks." Percy covered his mouth and nose with his hands and glared at Fred who interrupted their review.
"Is there?" Fred smelled the scent on his body and stretched out his hand for Percy to smell, but was slapped away by the other party.
"It stinks." Percy glared at Fred, "Don't disturb other people's review here."
Fred was happily annoying Percy, but when he turned to look at his brother, he found that the friends who were originally around him were gone.
"Hey, wait for me." Fred ignored Percy and quickly quickened his pace to catch up.
After taking a good shower and using shower gel to clean off any lingering odor on their bodies, they sat down to eat the potato pancakes they had brought back from the kitchen.
When Tom saw Albert coming back, he immediately came over and rubbed his head against Albert, asking for the dried fish as agreed.
"By the way, you haven't told us yet, what exactly is the treasure that Headmaster Dumbledore hid?" The three asked Albert who was feeding the cat while eating.
"There is only a magic mirror in the last room, the Mirror of Erised that we saw in the Room of Requirement last time. There is nothing else." Albert scratched Tom's ear and answered the questions that Fred, George and Lee Jordan wanted to know.
"What about the treasure?"
"I think it's hidden in the Mirror of Erised." Albert didn't lie and started to tell the truth. "This should be a magic mechanism set up by Headmaster Dumbledore. Ordinary people can't crack it at all."
"That's an ordinary person. Are you an ordinary person?" George turned his head to look at Albert, and suddenly nodded and said, "You are not an ordinary person. You are Albert!"
“Well, I’m not an ordinary person.” Albert couldn’t help but roll his eyes when he heard that.
"Look, Albert finally admits that he is not an ordinary person." After swallowing the food in his mouth, Lee Jordan patted Albert on the shoulder and teased.
"Don't change the subject." George raised his hand to stop Li Jordan from continuing and asked directly, "What is the treasure? Don't tell me you have never seen a treasure."
If you don't ask directly, you don't know where the topic will lead.
"The treasure should be the Philosopher's Stone."
"What stone?"
"The Philosopher's Stone," said Albert.
"What is that?" George asked, raising an eyebrow.
"A magical alchemical product." Albert replied, "However, you don't need to worry too much about the treasure. I think the Philosopher's Stone is most likely a fake."
"Fake, you mean, the treasure is fake." Lee Jordan didn't understand what this meant for a moment.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Albert must have tested it, otherwise he wouldn't say it's fake." Fred stuffed the paper bag into Lee Jordan's hand, as if to tell him to continue eating his pancakes.
"Well, I tried it, but it didn't work." When Lee Jordan was about to finish the last pancake, Albert quickly snatched the food from him.
"You've already eaten a lot. Eating too much at night is not good for your stomach."
"Yes, it's bad for your stomach."
"You should eat this." George got a box of cocoa beans from somewhere and stuffed it directly into Li Jordan's hand, saying with a smile.
"Then what?"
"At the time, I asked Headmaster Dumbledore, but he didn't answer. But I guess that thing must be fake."
"Why would the principal put a fake magic stone there?"
"It's the Philosopher's Stone," Albert corrected.
"Oh, why?"
All three looked at Albert, waiting for his answer.
"What would you do if you knew someone wanted to steal your things?" Albert did not directly answer the three people's questions, but asked while combing Tom's hair with a comb.
"I'll hide and try to catch that damn thief," said Lee Jordan.
“Since I know someone is going to steal my things, of course I will be vigilant. I will first make sure my things will not be stolen, and then try to catch the other person.” George had a similar idea.
"No, we should replace it with a fake one and put it in its original place, and wait for that damn thief to come. If we can catch him, that would be the best. But if we can't, the stolen one is also a fake." Fred had the same idea.
"So, this is probably the situation." Albert lifted Tom up high and asked with a smile, "Are you right, Tom?"
"Meow!"
Tom chewed some dried fish and meowed casually.
"I didn't expect it to be like this. I was wondering how those magic mechanisms could be so simple." George's face showed an expression of "I see."
"It's simple. I don't know who almost got trapped to death by the Devil's Snare." Lee Jordan couldn't help but sarcastically said, "If it wasn't Albert, you couldn't even pass the Devil's Snare?"
"Humph! None of your business."
"So, the actual situation is just as you speculated last time. The principal is waiting for the thief to take the bait?" Fred asked back.
"Is the thief really Professor Quirrell?"
"Not really. Professor Quirrell seems to have a small burden. Why would he steal the headmaster's things?"
"I feel like Snape is more like a thief." Fred bluntly put the blame of the thief on Snape.
"What do you think? Should we help the principal and catch the thief faster?" George suggested excitedly.
"For example?" Lee Jordan asked tentatively.
"We can write a letter to tell Snea... well, I mean Professor Quirrell, if he is really the thief who tried to steal the headmaster's things, he will definitely take action." George suggested excitedly. "In the end, he will definitely fall into the headmaster's trap."
Looking at the people who were eager to try, Albert was suddenly speechless.
Didn't you just promise the principal to keep it a secret, but the next moment you're rushing to be the leaker
More positive than yourself
"Let's not do that." Albert rejected the proposal decisively. "Professor Dumbledore must have his own plan for doing that. We'd better not do that. It would be bad if we disrupt his plan."
The reward for the leaker's mission is actually pretty average. However, the mission is a bit tricky, and if you don't handle it well, you'll end up getting buried.
For this kind of risky task with low rewards, even if Albert really considers doing it, he needs to do it at the right time and at the right opportunity.
It would be best if I could use this opportunity to trick Qi Luo.
Don't you think so, Tom
