Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 76: Invisibility cloak

Views:

"What a pity! If the effect of the Disillusionment Charm could last longer and be used on a cloak, wouldn't it become an invisible cloak?" Lee Jordan stared at the towel that had lost its magic, feeling quite regretful.

If he had an invisibility cloak, the entire Hogwarts Castle would be completely open to him.

It’s not that Li Jordan doesn’t want to go for a night walk, but he will consider the consequences of doing so first. Gryffindor’s bravery has never meant being reckless or brainless.

"When I return the book, you can borrow it again and learn the Disillusionment Charm by yourself." Albert noticed the expression on the other person's face and said with a smile, "The Disillusionment Charm can be used directly on people. Do you want to try it?"

"You've never used it on yourself?" Li Jordan asked warily.

"No," Albert replied.

"Forget it then." Li Qiaodan said unhappily, "Wait until you use it on yourself first, then let me try it."

"Why don't you two try it?" Albert looked at the Weasley brothers and asked with a smile.

The two of them shuddered and shook their heads in unison, "No, no."

“What a pity.”

"There's nothing to regret." The three said in unison.

"An invisibility cloak? Actually, it's not too difficult to make a low-quality one." Albert pulled out a cloak from his suitcase, picked up the magic wand and cast a spell on it. The cloak immediately blended into the surrounding environment and seemed to disappear.

Albert picked up the invisibility cloak, put it on himself and asked, "How is it?"

"Wow, it disappeared."

"It really is an invisibility cloak."

All three chose to temporarily forget the duration of the Disillusionment Charm and indulge in the excitement of seeing the Invisibility Cloak for the first time.

Albert lowered his head, and only his head was hanging in the air, with his body completely invisible.

"Lend it to me and try." George urged.

Albert took off his cloak and handed it to George, who couldn't wait to put it on himself and wrapped himself tightly.

The next moment, George disappeared from the room.

Albert's Disillusionment Spell does have some flaws, but if you don't look carefully, you really can't find them for a while.

"Okay, let me try." Li Jordan stretched out his hand and groped in the air, as if he was looking for something with his eyes closed.

"Guess where I am?"

"Ahem, show yourself quickly." Albert raised his wand and cast the Apparition spell in the direction where the sound came from. George, who was originally wrapped in an invisibility cloak, immediately appeared in front of the three people under the Apparition spell.

Everyone watched George quietly as he moved slowly, trying not to make any sound. Finally, Fred couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Why did the invisibility effect disappear?" George was also stunned when he heard Fred's laughter, and then he remembered the spell Albert had just cast. He couldn't help but stick his head out of the cloak and immediately noticed that the invisibility cloak was ineffective.

"It's the Apparition Spell. An invisibility cloak created with a spell can be easily suppressed by someone else's spell." Albert reached out and patted George on the shoulder. "The more precious invisibility cloaks are all woven from the hair of invisible beasts. However, this kind of invisibility cloak will eventually lose its invisibility effect over time."

In Albert's memory, the only cloak that could be called a real invisibility cloak was Harry Potter's invisibility cloak.

As for the invisibility cloak created using the Disillusionment Charm, it is just so-so to be honest, and may not even be considered an alchemical item.

What should alchemical tools look like

In Albert's memory, the Deluminator, the Mirror of Erised, the Pensieve, the Golden Snitch, the Goblet of Fire... these were the tools that could be considered alchemical tools.

Like potions, alchemy should also be a kind of magic.

Then again, Hogwarts doesn’t teach alchemy.

The task of being the inventor of the magic lamp has not been fulfilled yet.

"Albert, Albert?"

While thinking, Albert heard someone calling him, and came to his senses and asked: "What's the matter?"

"Why are you suddenly in a trance?"

All three of them were speechless. They were apparently chatting happily, but suddenly they stopped talking.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about one thing. Since the Disillusionment Charm can be used on objects, what about other spells?" Albert picked up the wand and tried to light up the crumpled Daily Prophet, but nothing happened.

"What are you doing?" George asked, confused.

“I’m trying to make the paper glow.”

"What's the result?"

"Didn't you see it too?" Albert said unhappily. Of course, the result was no, or his magic level was not high enough.

"Why are you trying this?" Fred asked in confusion.

"Didn't you notice that all the joke props you bought in Zuko's shop use spells?"

"That makes sense." The three of them immediately thought of the invisibility cloak.

"Armor protection." Albert began to try to protect the piece of paper again to see if he could make it have the effect of the armor spell.

As a result, there was still no response.

"What are you doing again?" Lee Jordan asked.

"Put an armor spell on the paper ball."

"Cast an Armor Spell on the note?" The three of them were still confused and had no idea what Albert was doing.

"So... was it successful?"

"I don't know. You hold it and let me try." Albert stuffed the paper ball to Fred and asked him to hold it towards him.

"Hey, wait, you're not going to cast a spell on me," Fred shouted quickly.

"No, I'm going to use this as a test." Albert grabbed the pillow and threw it over, hitting Fred in the face.

"It seems that your armor spell doesn't work!" Fred stared at Albert with resentment.

"As expected." Albert was not surprised. His current magical power was not strong enough. Whether he could use magic to transform objects remained to be studied.

"So, you definitely did it on purpose just now." Fred smacked Albert's face with a pillow and laughed triumphantly, but was hit in the face by Lee Jordan's pillow. George also picked up his pillow and joined the battle.

The four of them laughed and played for a while before they calmed down.

"Okay, I'm a little tired, so I'll take a rest first." Albert suppressed a yawn and lay down on the bed ready to sleep.

"Good night."

"Good night."

"If I can make some protective props, they should sell well, especially during the period when Voldemort was rampant and everyone lacked a sense of security." This thought suddenly popped into Albert's mind.

Trying to exchange Galleons with Muggle currency is not a good idea. The goblins at Gringotts have also said that, in theory, people will not be allowed to use pounds to exchange for a large number of Galleons.

This is actually not difficult to understand. There are very few times when wizards really need to use pounds, and there is basically no communication between the two sides, except for wizards who often need to come into contact with Muggles.

Ah, yes, the Ministry of Magic seems to have a similar department as well.

Albert raised his hand and tapped his forehead, unconsciously thinking about money again. He felt that he was not a greedy person, but it was undeniable that sometimes he could not move forward without money.

The magical world is no exception.

Just as Albert was about to fall asleep, he heard some noise in the room and the twins tiptoed to sneak out.

Are you planning to go on a night tour tonight

"Be careful, don't let the fat woman get locked outside the lounge." Albert warned, but he didn't intend to stop them. Anyway, the two of them had the Marauder's Map in their hands, so unless they were courting death, they had no fear of being caught by Filch.
