Gryffindor students are a group of fearless people, and every year there are many students wandering around the castle late at night.
"What about you?" George asked.
"What do you think?" Albert threw the towel he used to wipe his hair to George in annoyance.
"By the way, why do you take another bath tonight?" George reached out to take the towel and threw it back to Albert.
"Taking a shower in the morning makes you feel good, and taking a shower at night makes you sleep well." Albert said as a matter of course.
The three of them looked at him speechlessly, and didn't want to argue about it. They all knew that when Albert talked about things, he could always find a bunch of appropriate reasons for you.
"Can you really sleep well?" Li Qiaodan asked coldly, then he also went to take a shower.
Albert sat back on the bed, listening to the twins talking about the secret passage in the castle, and picked up the wand on the pillow and tapped the towel thrown next to it.
The Disillusionment Charm took effect, and the towel seemed to disappear from the bed.
Albert picked up the invisible towel, held it in front of himself and took a look, then covered his hands with it. The covered part disappeared, but there was still an inexplicable sense of incongruity overall.
Albert crumpled the towel into a ball and observed the effect of the Disillusionment Spell. At certain times, this sense of incongruity would become even more abrupt.
“Your hand…how did you do that just now?” Fred looked at Albert’s left hand under the towel, his eyes wide in surprise.
"What are you talking about?" Albert handed the towel that he had cast a Disillusionment Charm on to Fred. "I cast a Disillusionment Charm on the towel."
"Amazing." George also came over to study it. "But there are still some flaws."
"That's all we can do for now." Albert's Disillusionment Charm had been upgraded to level 1, but the invisibility effect was still unsatisfactory. Any skilled wizard could easily spot the flaw. "Some wizards use this kind of magic to create low-quality invisibility cloaks."
"Invisibility cloak?" Fred asked in confusion. "I've heard of this thing, but why do you say it's inferior?"
"The invisibility effect of the cloak will wear off over time," Albert explained.
"Look, my hand is broken." Fred covered his hand with an invisible towel and winked at George. "If you don't look closely, you can't really see it."
"Wrap it around your head," Albert reminded.
Fred and George looked at each other, seemed to realize something, and a malicious smile appeared at the corners of their mouths.
The door was closed again and the oil lamp in the room suddenly went out.
"What the hell are you doing? Why are the lights off in the dormitory? Is everyone asleep?" Li Qiaodan, who had just finished taking a shower, pushed open the wooden door of the dormitory and found it was pitch black inside. He couldn't help but frowned and complained.
Suddenly, a light appeared in the darkness. Li Jordan looked in the direction of the light source and saw one of the twins standing by the table. He turned around and forgot to come over here. The pale light from the tip of the wand moved up along his body and finally stopped on his shoulder.
Li Qiaodan had already seen clearly that this man actually... actually had no head.
“This…” The expression on Li Qiaodan’s face froze, and he just stood there blankly.
To be honest, this scene looks quite scary, especially in the dark.
"Hey, stop it, you all scared him!" Albert tried not to laugh out loud, reached out and pulled the invisible towel off Fred's head, revealing his head.
"Is he okay?" George turned the light back on and looked anxiously at Lee Jordan who was standing there in a daze. He cast a blaming look at his twin brother, as if everything was Fred's fault.
"I don't know, maybe he was scared silly? Fred reached out to touch Lee Jordan, but was stopped by Albert.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but Li Qiaodan had not yet recovered from his daze, and an uneasy atmosphere quietly spread in the room.
"Hahaha!" Li Qiaodan suddenly burst into laughter, scaring the three people in the room.
"Are you okay?" Fred asked tentatively.
"It's okay." Li Qiaodan made a ghostly look at the three people. His reaction just now was obviously pretended. "But, I was really scared by you."
George said unhappily, "We were just scared by you."
"By the way, that scene just now was really terrifying." Lee Jordan took the invisible towel handed to him by Albert, looked at it in front of his eyes, and seemed to have thought of something before asking, "Do you think that if we scare Filch like this, will he faint directly?"
"It shouldn't happen. After all, there are ghosts in the castle." Albert directly denied this possibility. People in the magical world have a much stronger ability to accept and deal with unknown things than ordinary people.
If you make your head disappear and walk around a crowded street late at night, you will probably scare a lot of people and even make the headlines tomorrow.
"But it's still pretty scary to see someone's head disappear," Fred said. "Why doesn't Zonko's joke shop have something like this?"
"Zuko is not young anymore, and his mind is no longer active. Although he has the ability to turn his ideas into joke props, his inspiration has probably dried up." Albert explained casually, "If he doesn't have this kind of inspiration, he naturally can't make a headless hat."
"The Headless Hat?" Fred's eyes lit up. "That's a good name."
"Write this down. Write this down." George quickly looked for a quill and parchment. "One day, maybe we can make our own headless hat."
"Before that, you may have to learn spells well," Albert reminded.
"Uh, what's going on?" Lee Jordan noticed that the invisible towel was no longer invisible.
"The Disillusionment Charm on it is about to disappear." Albert checked the Disillusionment Charm on the invisible towel. After all, this kind of thing could not maintain permanent invisibility like Harry Potter's invisibility cloak.
By the way, this thing is a bit like optical camouflage.
"Disappeared so quickly?" Fred muttered.
Albert picked up the pocket watch on the pillow, glanced at the time and said, "It lasted about half an hour."
"It lasted for such a short time." George was a little disappointed.
"I haven't mastered it yet. How long do you expect it to last?" Albert couldn't help rolling his eyes. The duration of magic depends on the wizard who casts the spell.
As for the Disillusionment Charm, Albert was only at the initial stage of mastering it. If it were Professor Flitwick, he should be able to create an invisibility cloak that would last for a long time.
Of course, truly skilled spell masters have no need to use invisibility cloaks; they can always easily use spells to make themselves invisible, making it impossible for ordinary wizards to detect their presence.
