Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 145 Finding Weasley

  At this moment, there was silence in the dormitory.

  Lee Jordan has already realized that the situation is not good. Fred and George are most likely missing, otherwise it is impossible not to go back to the dormitory to sleep at night.

   "I'll go to the common room and ask if anyone has seen the two of them," he said immediately, and acted.

   Albert looked around the dormitory, suppressed the drowsiness between his brows, stuffed a large piece of chocolate into his mouth, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and patted his cheeks in the mirror to wake himself up completely.

  Lee Jordan has returned, his complexion is not very good, apparently nothing good happened. When he saw Albert coming back, he immediately went up to him, "The two of them are not in the common room."

   "Shouldn't they go into the Forbidden Forest to find the so-called secret treasure?" After washing his face, Albert regained his senses and asked, "Did you find any secrets on the treasure map?"

   "This..." Lee Jordan hesitated.

   "If Fred and George go into the woods, the situation will be a bit bad." Albert's expression froze, and he found that there was a new movement on his task panel.

  Mysterious disappearance.

  You have two friends who did not return to the dormitory before the curfew. They seem to be missing. As a roommate and friend, you should try to find them.

   Reward: 1000 experience.

   "Come with me, let's talk about it as we go." Albert grabbed George's used wizard hat and strode toward the common room.

   "You mean, they entered the woods?" Lee Jordan also realized that the situation was not good, if Fred and George entered the woods. They haven't come back now, the situation is very bad, the Forbidden Forest at night is very dangerous.

There are not many students staying in the common room. A couple is talking in a low voice, not paying attention to the surroundings at all. The students who are doing homework for the holiday are all focused on the parchment, and they don’t notice Ai Bo at all. T and Lee Jordan leave the lounge.

   "I'm not sure if they went into the forest." Albert looked at Lee Jordan and asked, "Tell me, did you gain something from that treasure map?"

   "Yes, they found some changes on the treasure map." Lee Jordan hesitated, and continued, "They found that you didn't seem to know, so they asked me to keep it a secret, saying that they would not tell you for the time being."

   "Continue." Albert said.

   "Fred and George think the map should be real. You know, they went into the woods." Lee Jordan followed behind Albert, talking about what he knew.

   "I really don't know. By the way, they didn't tell me?" Albert stopped and looked at Lee Jordan angrily.

   "Fred said that if you knew, you would definitely prevent them from venturing into the woods." Lee Jordan explained with a sigh.

   "That's inevitable. The outskirts of the forest are not dangerous, but it doesn't mean that going deep into the forest is not dangerous." Albert raised his wand and cast the illusion spell on himself and Li Qiaodan.

   "Are we going into the woods?" Lee Jordan seemed to have guessed Albert's thoughts, was shocked by Albert's boldness, and suggested hesitantly: "I think we'd better go to Professor McGonagall."

   "No, let's go to Hagrid, we need Hagrid's help." Albert rejected Lee Jordan's proposal without thinking.

   "But we can't get out, the gate of the castle is closed, we can't open the gate." Lee Jordan reminded.

   "I know where there is a secret way out of the castle." Albert added: "Fred told me when I went out for a night tour last time."

   "But... why don't we go to Professor McGonagall?" Lee Jordan still didn't understand. In his opinion, he should go to Professor McGonagall now.

"Hagby knows everyone about the Forbidden Forest. With his help, we can enter and exit the Forbidden Forest safely." Albert took Lee Jordan to take a shortcut, "Don't make this a big deal, or Fred and George will So bad luck. And besides, we can't be sure if they're in the woods yet."

   "We really can't be sure of that," Lee Jordan muttered. "Maybe they're still in school."

   "It's easy to be sure, shhh." Albert made a hissing gesture, and footsteps came towards him not far away. He immediately extinguished the light on his wand, and pulled Lee Jordan into hiding.

   "Strange, I clearly heard someone talking." Filch walked towards this side, holding an oil lamp in his hand, and looked into the deep corridor. When he didn't find anyone, he turned and walked away.

   Hearing the sound of footsteps going away, Albert and Lee Jordan came out from the corner, and they came to a vase at the corner of the third floor.

   "Is the secret passage leading to the outside of the castle here?"

   "Turn left and turn right."

   Albert stepped forward and tapped the vase twice with his wand.

   The vase began to make a slight grinding sound.

  Lee Jordan was shocked to find that a black spot appeared in a landscape painting hanging on the wall next to him. The black spot gradually enlarged, and soon he saw a door.

"gone."

  Albert stepped forward to grab the doorknob, pushed it lightly, and the original photo frame was opened, revealing the entrance hidden behind.

   "So secretive," Lee Jordan muttered.

   "Don't tell anyone else."

"Know."

   A few minutes later, the two finally walked out of the secret passage, and Lee Jordan was surprised to find himself on the mountain road leading to the dock.

   "Tap this raised stone three times?" Albert pointed to the raised stone and said, "The password to open the entrance is: open quickly."

   "Damn it, do those two guys still know a lot of secret secrets, but they didn't tell me." Lee Jordan complained in a low voice.

   "Follow." Albert walked towards Hagrid's cabin.

   "How do you plan to determine whether Fred and George are in the Forbidden Forest?" Lee Jordan couldn't help asking.

   This is very important, he doesn't want to rush into the Forbidden Forest.

   "Using owls, owls have tracking capabilities, we can use owls to determine whether Fred and George are in the Forbidden Forest." Albert explained.

  Albert really can't track magic, but owls have this ability. As long as they pass through owls, Albert can determine whether those two guys are in the woods.

   "It's still like this." Lee Jordan was shocked by Albert's whimsical idea, but it seemed to be a good idea, and he hastened to follow Albert.

  The two finally arrived at Hagrid's hut, there was no light inside, maybe Hagrid was already asleep, but their approach immediately attracted the vigilance of the Hound Fang.

   "Hagrid, Hagrid, we need your help." Albert raised his fist and knocked **** Hagrid's wooden door.

  There was a series of bangs and bangs under the night, only dogs barking came from Hagrid's cabin, but Hagrid didn't get up and open the door.

   Something is not right.

   "Will he..." Lee Jordan originally wanted to say whether Hagrid had fallen asleep, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. If Hagrid was really asleep, it would be impossible for Albert to not react when he made such a big noise.

  Albert pointed his wand at the door lock, and muttered, "Alahoo is open."

  The lock was opened, Albert pushed the door open and entered the house, the light from the tip of the wand swayed through Hagrid's cabin, there was no one inside, he might have gone out on something.

   "Isn't it good for us to break in?" Lee Jordan followed Albert into the house a little uneasy.

  Ya Ya couldn't see them, and was spinning around them, sniffing the air.

   "Of course it's not good." Albert lifted the illusion spell on his body, squatted down to appease Fang Fang, lest it get too excited.

"Then you still..." Before Lee Jordan finished speaking, he heard the flapping sound of wings from outside the house, and quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and found that Sheila flew into the room and landed on the wooden table. superior.

  Albert's owl will always appear when the owner needs to send a letter.

   "Give it to George." Albert put down Hagrid's quill, handed his handkerchief to the owl, and said: "Remember to give it to George himself."

  Shela grabbed the handkerchief and spread her wings towards the Forbidden Forest.

Seeing the direction in which the owl was going away, the expressions of the two of them suddenly sank. If Fred and George were in the castle, the owl would fly to the castle, but now flying to the woods means that the two of them really entered the castle. It's woods.

   "What should we do now, go back to Professor McGonagall?" Lee Jordan asked after taking a deep breath.

   "Yes, go back and find Professor McGonagall." Albert nodded.

  Lee Jordan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words. He was really afraid that Albert said he would go into the woods to find someone. To be honest, he didn't have the courage to go into the forest at this time, the forest at night really looked eerie.

   "Where did they enter the woods?" Albert asked.

   "You shouldn't..." Lee Jordan suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I'm going into the woods, you go back to Professor McGonagall. Don't worry, I can guarantee your safety, and you need to go back, because someone must let Professor McGonagall know about it." Albert looked to Lee Jordan and explained: "This matter is also very important."

"But!"

"Within two hours, if I fail to find them, I will come back by myself in two hours. Don't worry, I have a way to ensure my safety. You know, I never do things that are not sure." Ai Burt raised his hand and patted Lee Jordan on the shoulder, "And, do you think I'm going to make a joke of my own life?"

   "But how are you going to find them?" Li Qiaodan asked puzzled.

   "Of course it depends on Fangya."

  Lee Jordan looked at the hound, then at the wizard hat that Albert was just holding, and then he suddenly realized that he had been wondering what Albert was doing with the wizard hat just now, so it was for this!

"follow me."

  Lee Jordan takes Albert to the entrance where Fred and George entered the Forbidden Forest without telling Hagrid.

  Albert handed Fred's hat to Yaya, and said softly: "Yaya, help me find Fred, and I will buy you something delicious some other day."

  Ya Ya sniffed left and right, then walked along the narrow path towards the Forbidden Forest.

   "Remember, go to Professor McGonagall first. If there is a way, it's best to call Hagrid along with him." Albert reminded again.

   "Actually, you really don't need to take risks." Lee Jordan hesitated, and said, "It's too dangerous to go in at this time."

   "I can protect myself." Albert took out his pocket watch, looked at the time and said to Lee Jordan, "It's twelve o'clock now. If no one is found, I will be back within two hours."

"You should know how to get back to the castle. Hit the raised stone three times. The password is to quickly open the hole." Albert reminded again: "If Professor McGonagall asks, you can tell Fred and George Go back to the dormitory, you may have entered the forest."

   "Understood." Lee Jordan nodded helplessly to express that he understood. In fact, he couldn't understand, why did Albert go into the forest?

   Albert insisted on going into the forest for a reason.

   After confirming that Fred and George were in the Forbidden Forest through the owl, Albert found that a new task appeared on his task panel:

Rescue operations.

The Weasley brothers entered the Forbidden Forest for some reason, but have not returned for a long time. As a Gryffindor student, roommate and good friend, you can't let them go. Go into the forest, find the Weasley brothers, and send The two were brought out of the Forbidden Forest safely.

  Reward: 2000 experience points, 2 skill points, George Weasley favorability +10, Fred Weasley favorability +10.

  This task may mean that it is not too difficult to find the twins, but the difficulty should be to bring them out of the Forbidden Forest.

   Albert naturally has his own means. He can apparate and has enough experience to upgrade his skills. Be able to make sure you can Apparate at the edge of the Forbidden Forest at any time if necessary.

  The most important thing is that I just learned all the protection from Professor Brod not long ago. With this defensive magic, combined with apparition, I can be invincible.

   It's just that, if possible, Albert doesn't want to reveal that he will Apparate at all. That is the last insurance, so he needs someone to come to the rescue. Professor McGonagall, or other professors can be the first insurance.

   Just after Albert followed Fangya into the dark Forbidden Forest, Lee Jordan returned to the castle as fast as he could.

  Albert's owl, with his handkerchief, spread its wings deep into the Forbidden Forest.

  For owls, night is the time for their activities. Hogwarts owls often forage in the Forbidden Forest.

  Albert told Shera to hand over the handkerchief to George, and the owl immediately locked on George's position and found the target at an extremely fast speed.

  As Albert expected, the situation of Fred and George was not very good. They were surrounded, surrounded by a group of giant arachnids.

  Sheila didn't descend, she felt threatened by the situation below, and the handkerchief that the owl grabbed was thrown down, just right on George's head.

   "What is this?" Fred reached out to grab the handkerchief, but it was empty, and it happened that George had quick eyesight and quickly picked up the handkerchief.

  Some words were written on the handkerchief, and George read it out with the help of the light on the wand: "Shoot red sparks into the sky, if you need help from the centaur, they will send you out of the forest."

   "Albert's owl." George looked up and saw Shera, excitedly said: "We are saved."

   "The centaur? Where can I find the centaur!" Fred couldn't help shivering as he looked at the densely packed spiders below.

  The luck of the two is really not very good. They searched for the secret treasure of Gryffindor according to the treasure map, but as a result, they got lost.

   Later, somehow, they encountered a giant spider and were almost eaten. Fortunately, George used the hindrance spell in time, and they escaped unharmed.

  For some reason, more and more spiders were chasing them. Just when Fred remembered, he encountered an old guardian tree on the road.

  Thanks to listening carefully in class, and the fact that Albert used the guardian tree as a protective bracelet.

  The two ran under the guardian tree and escaped unharmed by luck.

   However, this matter is not over yet.

  The number of acromantulas is increasing, surrounding the guardian tree, and some acromantula even try to jump over the guardian tree to attack them.

  The two could only climb the tree in the end, which also angered the Bowtruckle who lived on the Dharma Tree, and had multiple scratches on his body.

   "Quick, another big spider is coming." George screamed.

   "There are many obstacles."

   Both of them pointed their wands at the acromantula that was trying to get close to the guardian tree. Two spells hit it, and then the big spider was sent flying.

   "Thanks for learning the Obstacle Charm from Albert." George muttered.

   "Shooting red sparks into the sky." Fred raised his wand and shot red sparks into the sky.

   At the beginning, they were surrounded by a group of big spiders, and both of them were going crazy. The dense spiders were really visually impactful. When they got nervous, they forgot about it.

   "Don't do that." George quickly stopped Fred.

"Why?"

   "What if Albert came over by himself and bumped into these big spiders?" George looked at the spider army below, his face full of worry.

"I think Albert should ask other professors for help. With his personality, it is unlikely that he would venture into the Forbidden Forest by himself." Based on Fred's understanding of Albert, the probability of that guy entering the Forbidden Forest alone It is not high.
