Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 389 ALFG's Trick

  It took Harry some time to calm Ron's emotions. He knew how Ron was feeling now.

  Before, Harry was also poor, with few pennies in his pocket, and his Uncle Vernon was never willing to spend an extra shilling on him.

Later, Harry inherited a large amount of inheritance left by his parents, but he himself didn't have much concept of money itself, and there were not many places where money was needed. Most of them are still in his pockets.

   "I don't know where they got so many Galleons." Ron muttered under his breath. He certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to think that Albert paid for it himself.

   "I probably know the reason." Harry recalled and said, "Do you still remember the advertisement on the bulletin board?"

   "What ad?" asked Ron.

"It's the 'communication card, so there is no longer distance between each other' advertisement." Harry said, "I remember seeing Fred and George put up an advertisement there last time, and I was warned by Percy because of it, The contacts are Fred, George and Lee Jordan."

   "You mean they earn so much Galleons selling those so-called communication cards!" Ron's eyes widened, his face was full of shock, and he couldn't believe what Fred and George had sold.

   "Probably that Mr. Anderson asked them to help sell things and then give them money." Harry still knew something and explained to Ron.

  After all, Harry had been living in the Muggle world before, and what Albert did was too common in the Muggle world.

   "But why doesn't he sell it himself?" Ron couldn't understand it. If it were him, he would definitely be alone...

   "I don't know too much, it's very likely..." Harry didn't know Albert, but he heard that he was a very powerful genius and seemed to be rich, "...Probably...don't want to waste time!"

  Harry didn't think there was anything wrong with Albert's approach. If he were him, he would probably do the same, provided he could think of it.

   "Why am I not the one who makes the money?"

  Ron jumped out of such an idea next time, even though he knew the reason, he was still very depressed.

Harry next to him took out a piece of parchment from his pocket. It was a treasure map, and there was a line of words written on it in gorgeous cursive script: Juniors, congratulations on discovering the treasure we left behind. Go and find it, we Put all your treasures there. —ALFG

   "ALFG?" Harry finished reading the letters softly, then turned his head to Ron beside him and said, "This must be a very naughty guy."

  Ron looked at the treasure map carefully, frowned slightly and asked, "Where did you get this thing?"

   "The last time I did my homework, I found it in a book I borrowed from the school library!" Harry had no intention of hiding it.

  At that time, he found that several pages of parchment had been pasted together, and after a closer look, he found that this treasure map was hidden inside.

"Maybe the other party is playing tricks on us." Ron looked at the old parchment and said with a frown. "This summer, Fred and George even bragged to us that they found Greg through a piece of parchment." The secret treasure of Ryffindor."

Speaking of this matter, Ron's eyes could not help but be filled with contempt, thinking about it with his brain, he knew that this was impossible, let alone Fred and George boasted to him that they had defeated the troll, let alone Defeated giant spiders and found the treasure hidden by Gryffindor after many trials.

   This kind of thing is a fake.

   However, it feels a bit weird to connect with this old treasure map in Harry's hand.

  Is it true?

  Ron used his mind that didn't think much, and finally came up with the answer: nonsense.

"go together!"

  Harry thought for a while and said the invitation. He didn't want Ron to continue to be upset because of what happened just now, and he always thought treasure hunting was very interesting.

"Um."

  Ron agreed, and since Harry wanted to go treasure hunting, he went with him.

   "However, what does this mean." Harry pointed to the mark on the other side of the treasure map, which looked like a map.

   "I don't know." Ron looked at the map, feeling very irritable, "It may be a map somewhere in the castle."

   "What do ghosts have to do with toilets?" Harry looked at the simple portraits next to the map in confusion.

   "And...this thing should be a pumpkin?" Ron guessed, "Ghosts and pumpkins, do they mean Halloween?"

   "I don't think so, what does the toilet mean? The toilet in the bathroom?" Harry was even more confused, he was not good at solving puzzles at all. "Also, is this the map of the castle?"

   "It should be... the map on the second floor of the castle!" Ron said after observing carefully.

   "If this is the map of the second floor?" Harry said, "Is there a bathroom on the second floor?"

   "Looks like... no. Um, wait, there seems to be a broken bathroom?" Ron's eyes lit up, and he felt as if he had guessed something.

   "But what do ghosts and pumpkins mean?"

   "Hagrid's pumpkin patch?"

  Harry often ran towards Hagrid, remembering that there was a large pumpkin field next to Hagrid's hut, and those pumpkins were specially prepared for Halloween.

   "So, what do ghosts mean?"

  Harry felt that his brain was not enough, and he was really not good at guessing riddles. However, he was going to try his luck on the second floor first, maybe he could meet ghosts or something. "

  However, the two walked around the second floor of the castle, but they did not encounter any ghosts.

   Finally, they decided to go to the malfunctioning bathroom to see if they could find a clue.

   "Can't go in."

  Ron stopped Harry just as he reached for the brass handle and was about to open the door.

   "What's going on?" Harry asked confused.

   "This is a girls' bathroom." Ron pointed to the mark and said with a frown. Moreover, he heard footsteps coming this way.

   "What are you going to do?"

  Hermione stopped Ron and Harry who were about to break into the malfunctioning girls' bathroom, and looked at the two in front of them with very strange eyes.

   "We're looking for treasure." Harry couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and quickly stepped back, explaining to Hermione why he went into the girls' bathroom. He didn't want to be misunderstood.

"Don't think that you can do this kind of thing just by making an excuse. If you dare to do this, I will tell Professor McGonagall." Hermione looked at the two with disgust and said, "Last semester, there was a Students did that and were almost expelled from the school."

  Harry and Ron opened their mouths, not knowing what to say.

   "Hope I don't see you guys packing your bags and going to **** off next time?"

   After finishing speaking, Hermione turned and left.

   "Really?" Harry asked innocently.

   "How would I know, what should I do now?" Ron looked at Harry anxiously. If he was fired because of this, his mother would definitely kill him.

   "I'll go in by myself!" Harry gritted his teeth and said, "You take it here, and remind me if anyone comes."

   "Forget it, I'll go in with you!" Ron didn't want to stay outside, what if he was misunderstood?

   As soon as the two opened the door and entered the girls' bathroom, they met the crying Myrtle.

   "I think the ghost should be referring to her." Ron pointed to the ghost girl in front of him and said to Harry.

   "I know I'm dead, so you don't need to tell me again." The crying Myrtle glared at the two students who broke into her territory.

   "Do you know where the treasure is?" Harry asked straight to the point, he really didn't want to stay here for a moment longer if he could.

   "Oh, yes, yes. Someone once told me that if anyone comes here looking for something, tell him 'fifteen.'" The crying Myrtle suddenly giggled.

   "What do you mean?" Ron asked in confusion.

   "I don't know." Myrtle said happily.

   "Who asked you to tell me." Harry asked curiously, the one who told the ghost must be the maker of the treasure map.

   "A handsome boy." Myrtle giggled. "He won't let me tell anyone else his name."

   After speaking, the ghost floated away.

   "What do you think fifteen means?"

   "We'd better get out of here." Ron said uneasily, "Don't be seen entering the girls' bathroom."

  Harry also felt that what Ron said made sense. They had just walked out of the girls' bathroom when they heard footsteps coming towards this side again.

  The two of them couldn't help but feel a twinge in their hearts. When they looked up, they found that they were actually acquaintances.

   "Harry, Ron, what are you doing here?" George looked up at the room they came out of just now, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

   "What are you doing in the girls' bathroom?" Fred asked in surprise.

   "No no, we!"

"Okay, I see, you guys leave quickly, don't let other people see it." Albert interrupted, "I remember last year when Marcus McLaggen pretended to be stupid and wanted to break into the girls' bathroom , As a result, he was caught by the girls, and his reputation was rotten, and no girl would date him anymore." Lee Jordan gave an expression that you are going to learn a lesson.

   "It's...we're not..."

  The two of them blushed from holding back, and for a while didn't know what to say.
