I really don't know how the Weasley twins managed to stuff the Filibuster fireworks into the mouth of a salamander like this.
Just as Albert was sighing, he suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound. The poor salamander suddenly jumped into the air, and it seemed as if someone had installed a flamethrower in its mouth. Sparks kept coming out of it, and it jumped around the public lounge frantically. The crackling sound immediately attracted everyone's attention.
With some loud bangs, the filiba fireworks exploded in the fire salamander's mouth. It was incredible that the explosion did not blow the poor fire salamander to pieces.
At this moment, the fire salamander was still jumping around in the air, constantly spewing beautiful orange-red stars from its mouth, attracting the attention of countless students.
"What the hell are you doing!"
Percy, who had just come down the stairs, roared at Fred and George at the top of his voice. The poor salamander finally seized the opportunity, escaped from the twins' clutches, and hid in the fire.
"Don't be angry Percy, everyone thinks it's funny." Someone came out to smooth things over. They didn't mean to blame Fred and George for disturbing them, but Percy still scolded the twins with a hoarse voice for several minutes.
After the excitement ended, people continued to sit down and read, chat, and do homework.
At this moment, it was still pouring rain outside the window. Fred and George sat next to Albert and talked about their new idea of making fireworks.
"You should write them down so that it will be easier to improve them." Albert interrupted ruthlessly, "Also, you have to hand in your spells paper tomorrow. If you don't do your homework and get detention from Professor Flitwick, don't blame me."
"Wait, where's your spells homework?" Fred saw that Albert seemed to have something to leave for, so he and George each held his shoulders.
"It's at Lee Jordan's place. You can ask him for it yourself. I'll come back later and bring you a midnight snack." After saying that, Albert got up and left.
"That guy's going on another date," Fred muttered.
"A guy who forgets his friends for the sake of beauty." George complained.
When Albert arrived at the Room of Requirement, Isobel was already there. She seemed to be writing a paper. Albert did not disturb her and found a place to sit down and study Nicolas Flamel's notes.
"What are you thinking about? You were distracted just now." The girl's voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
"Nothing, I just feel that Nicolas Flamel's notebook is a bit too difficult for me." Albert put down the notebook in his hand and sighed softly.
The notebooks that Nicolas Flamel gave to Albert were all good things, but they were not easy to use. Many of them could not be converted into panel skills, and the advanced use of spells was not something that could be mastered at will.
After all, you need to master the spell first, and then learn their advanced applications. Even using the panel requires a certain amount of accumulation of experience.
The advanced application of each spell is never easy to master. Albert has never forgotten how long it took him to practice the advanced application of the Patronus Charm.
Most of the notes Nicolas Flamel gave him involved these things. It was like having a delicious steak in front of you. You could see it, touch it, but you couldn't eat it. It was really depressing.
"Just be content. Nicolas Flamel spent hundreds of years to obtain the results. How could you possibly learn them all in a few months?" Isobel reached out and touched Albert's head, who was leaning on her shoulder, and said as if comforting a child, "You are already very capable. You can sort out the above content in a short time. Don't be too anxious. You still have plenty of time to study it. Or do you hope to become as capable as Dumbledore when you grow up?"
"It would be nice if that were the case." Albert muttered softly, "Then I wouldn't have to work hard anymore in my life. I could just lie down and eat and wait for death."
"Don't you think that's too tiring?" Isobel said softly.
"Here, take a look at it too. The contents of the notebook are quite useful." Albert handed the notebook to Isobel. "I have seen them at Nico's place before."
Nicolas Flamel had indeed been very careful to keep his whereabouts secret and protected over the years, and the knowledge in this notebook was used to create a safe house.
He had been to Nico's home several times. Those residences were protected by layers of security, making it very difficult to find them, let alone break in.
Of course, Albert also has a solution, which is to use the Fierce Fire to burn the house directly. If the people inside do not escape, they will naturally be burned to death. After all, the Fierce Fire will basically devour everything.
The safest part of a safe house is that it is actually difficult to find. Once it is found, no matter how safe the place is, it is no longer safe.
"We can use our new home in the future." Albert suddenly said, "It won't be peaceful for a long time."
"Are you referring to the mysterious man?" Isobel raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Yeah." Albert changed the subject casually, "By the way, what were you doing just now?"
"Write Lockhart's paper." Isobel was a little irritated when she talked about it. "The content is: how to help the village get rid of the wolf plague."
"Do you think there is a spell that can restore a werewolf to human form?" Albert suddenly looked up and asked. He remembered Lockhart's description in "Wandering with Werewolves".
"I don't know." Isobel shook her head. She didn't think what Lockhart described was true. In fact, if such a spell existed, it would have been well known long ago.
However, Albert knew that Lockhart's book was stealing someone else's achievements, but such a spell might have existed before. Why did he say once? Because the unlucky guy had forgotten all his memories after being cast a forgetfulness spell by Lockhart, so the only person who could know this spell now was Lockhart, but the possibility was really small, and Albert never thought that Lockhart had the ability to master this spell.
"Forget it, I'll go ask Lockhart when I get a chance!" Albert thought.
"What's wrong?"
"nothing."
"Just tell me if you have something to say. You always look like you're hesitant to talk."
"Well, nothing much. Are you hungry? Do you want to go to the kitchen and eat something?" Albert suggested.
“Eating too much can easily make you fat.”
"I don't mind, and you're not always exercising."
"All right."
Putting away the notebook, the two left the Room of Requirement and headed for the kitchen. When they passed the secret passage on the sixth floor, the light from the magic wand startled the kissing couple.
It was Percy Weasley and his girlfriend Penelope Clearwater.
The corridor was immediately filled with an awkward atmosphere.
"Remember to keep it a secret." Percy muttered to the two of them, then ran away with the girl.
"It seems that we have disturbed them." Albert looked at the girl beside him helplessly and said, "I didn't expect them to date here."
"After all, not everyone can use the Room of Requirement like we do." Isobel looked back at the two people leaving and said softly.
"By the way, every time I run into them they're kissing."
"You've encountered this many times?"
"When I take a shortcut, I occasionally run into couples dating in the corridor." Albert moved the portrait aside and walked out. "Of course, I usually don't disturb their dates."
