Hogwarts Wandering Wizard

Chapter 187 The terminated treasure hunt

When Filch was kicked down by Peeves, the crutch flew out and accidentally hit George Weasley on the head who was hiding next to the glass cabinet under the Disillusionment Curse cast by Eric.

What's more coincidental is that the cane hit George's nose accurately.

After all, he was still a child, and his body was still very immature. Just such a blow made George's nose bleed.

In order to prevent himself from being exposed, George quickly covered his nose with the parchment they had just found, thus avoiding the embarrassing scene of a sudden burst of blood in the void.

If Peeves and Filch hadn't quarreled at that time, maybe they would have discovered some abnormalities the moment the crutch hit George, such as a drop of blood that suddenly came out and stuck to the top of the crutch, or that the crutch didn't pop out when it popped out. It fell without hitting the glass cabinet, or the crutch was dropped in a wrong posture.

But luckily, both the man and the ghost were a little angry at the time, so they didn't see that scene.

However, Mrs. Norris noticed something unusual, and cats also have a very good sense of smell. The moment George's nosebleed started to flow, Mrs. Norris had already smelled it, so she barked.But when Filch picked up the crutch and propped it up again, the drop of undried blood on the head of the crutch stuck to his body. After the cat smelled the blood on him, he mistakenly thought it was the blood of its owner. Then he stopped shouting.

Eric looked at George, whose nose was red after removing the disillusionment spell, and couldn't help laughing with Fred: "You are bad enough. The three of us are hiding in different places, but you are the only one who is injured. .”

George raised his head, put down the parchment, and sucked twice to confirm that there was no congestion in the nasal cavity. A helpless look appeared on his face: "I feel like I have been unlucky this year, and I get hurt at every turn."

Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something and said awkwardly: "No, when I had my nosebleed just now, I used the piece of paper I found in the trophy. The clues won't be contaminated by the blood."

George wanted to open the parchment anxiously, but was surprised to find that the parchment he used to cover his nose to block the nosebleed had no blood at all, and was as clean as the parchment he had just made.

"This……"

He looked at the parchment in surprise, and when he was about to open it, Eric suppressed his hand: "Wait! Don't open it yet."

Eric looked at the puzzled Weasley brothers in front of him and said solemnly: "This is not a treasure map. When George mentioned that name just now, I knew it was a trap."

George and Fred looked at each other, looking at Eric's serious expression, Fred said doubtfully: "Man, what's the problem with this? Is it because this paper can absorb blood, so Doesn’t it look a little inappropriate?"

"It has nothing to do with paper!"

Eric took the half-opened parchment in George's hand and glanced at a passage that emerged after sucking George's blood:

'My treasure is somewhere in the castle. When you find a room where no boys will appear, and you see a key with no head or tail, but a belly full of water, you can take my treasure away.'

"I'm talking about the person who put down this treasure map. All he left behind was a trap."

Eric understood the meaning of this paragraph at a glance, closed the paper, tore it into four pieces, raised it and looked into Fred and George's eyes: "I heard this name from the principal. I can't tell you directly who he is, but I don't recommend that you continue to pursue it. And what I can tell you is that I discovered before that this treasure map was actually copied by others, which means that this map has been copied by others. Tom Riddle has changed, and the so-called treasure is just an empty talk."

Eric was a little worried that the Weasley brothers would not worry about this treasure and continue to search for it, so he lit the parchments in his hands, watched them turn into ashes, and said seriously to the two of them: "If you are short of money, you can Ask me to borrow it, but I hope you can give up this treasure."

Fred looked at his roommate with a strange expression as he burned the clues they had just obtained and scattered them to ashes. He scratched his head and then said: "I think... Eric, are you a little too nervous... Actually, we are also I didn’t expect to find any real treasures, but I just thought this matter..."

George then spread his hands: "We just think this is a bit fun. Percy also came to see us on the day of admission. He said that treasure maps hidden by students can always be found on the Hogwarts Express, but they are always Fake ones, usually just find some broken toys in the end.”

"And Charlie also told us that Bill was tricked by this treasure map when he was in school and dug out a half-eaten apple!"

"So!" The two brothers looked at each other and made the same shrug: "We just found it interesting and came here to find the treasure!"

amount……

Looking at the two red-haired teenagers with smiles in front of him, Eric suddenly fell silent.

This time he was a bit allergic...

It's no wonder, after all, the Weasley brothers don't have a system, so they naturally don't know that this treasure map is actually genuine, but it's just a little dangerous.

Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets is indeed his treasure, and it is indeed true that it is classified as a treasure of the Big Four. Even the basilisk is a treasure left by Slytherin to his successor.

But in the opinion of the Weasley brothers, Eric's behavior may have been a little too involved in the drama, so on the way back, the two made jokes around him from time to time, trying to make him happy.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, I was too serious."

Watching George No. 20 times dragging the slightly deformed bird up with a floating spell, Eric shook his head helplessly: "Don't you two have any goals, or hobbies?"

"Yes!" Fred took the paper bird that floated over from his brother, used the floating spell to entrust it to George again, and asked Eric: "Does filling Filch's room with dung eggs count? ?”

"Or fill Snape's office."

"You could also cover the Slytherin common room with dung eggs."

"In this case, it will cost a lot of gold galleons to buy a large dung egg. A large dung egg costs 2 Sikels."

"Didn't we suppress Fudge to become minister? If he really takes office, we will be rich next year!"

The two brothers sang in harmony, as if they were talking about cross talk.

"Stop, stop, stop~" Eric made a pause gesture, interrupting the two of them. Looking at the Weasley twins who were currently only thinking about low-level operations such as playing with big dung eggs, he said with hatred: "You guys Why don't you think about making some magic trick props by yourself, just like Jokowi's Joke Shop? I think there is a market for this. For example, toffee that makes your tongue swell after eating it, and quick-acting skipping classes that make your nose bleed after eating it. sugar……"

Eric persuaded the twins, hoping to let them embark on the legendary path of Hogwarts in advance. At the same time, he looked at the alchemy that he had never used since he obtained it, and wondered whether he should also research and make some. Magic items or something.
