Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 459 A Helping Hand

  The castle hall was filled with laughter, and everyone was celebrating the successful conclusion of the wizard card game.

  Hermione and Ron sat in the crowd, sipping butterbeer while talking about the game just now.

   "Where's Harry?" Hermione found that Harry had gone somewhere.

   "I saw him leave the hall in a hurry just now." It was Neville who answered Hermione.

  Hermione and Ron looked at each other, put down the wine glass in their hands, and walked out of the hall.

  They soon found Harry. The savior was sneaking around the corner, not knowing what to do.

  Ron walked over with Hermione, reached out and patted Harry on the shoulder, and asked puzzledly, "Harry, what are you doing here?"

  Harry was taken aback, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Hermione and Ron, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?"

  Hermione stretched her head to look around the corner, but didn't see anything, and her face became even more puzzled.

"Shhh!" Harry hurriedly made a hush gesture, raised his finger and pointed to a classroom not far away, and explained: "I suspect that Snape is putting pressure on Professor Quirrell again, and wants Professor Quirrell to tell He protects the mechanism of the Philosopher's Stone."

   "You mean..." Ron had a look of shock on his face.

   "What are you going to do?" Hermione also looked disturbed.

   "We have to do something!" Harry said firmly.

   "But... what should we do?" Ron couldn't come up with any good solution.

   "Maybe, we should interrupt them." Hermione suggested.

   "If we do that, Snape will definitely find a chance to deduct points from Gryffindor House hard." Harry didn't forget that Snape had just deducted 10 points from Gryffindor.

   "But we can't do nothing." Hermione frowned and said, "If Professor Quirrell can't hold on..."

   "You're right." Harry gritted his teeth and said, "We can't let Professor Quirrell bear Snape's pressure alone, we must support him..."

   "This is really a

  Bad decision, isn't it, Potter. A calm voice sounded from behind them, "If you do this, we will be deducted a lot of points. I dare say that if other people find out, they will definitely not give you a good face." "

  The three of them were startled by the sudden sound, and hurriedly turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound, and saw that Albert appeared in front of the three at some time.

   Behind.

"when will you…"

   Before Hermione could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Albert raising her hand.

   "When Potter was about to rush in to disrupt the situation." Albert said gently, "Very courageous, but also reckless and stupid."

   "Then what do you think we should do!" Harry felt inexplicably irritable, and he knew he should take action as soon as possible. Ron was secretly nudging Harry with his elbow, not wanting his friend and Albert to become stiff.

   Albert is a very easy person to get along with.

  Of course, if you have a bad face, don't expect the other party to give you a good look.

"this is for you!"

   Albert took out the deformed lizard belt, and pulled out a mouse-like object from it.

   "Pull the tail once, and it will move by itself. After about fifteen seconds, it will make a loud noise. Good luck." Albert handed Harry the bait mouse he tried a while ago.

   "Remember to cover your ears."

   As he spoke, he gestured to cover his ears, and said mysteriously, "Remember to keep it secret."

Harry dubiously looked at the imitation mouse in his hand, then looked up at Albert who turned and walked away. When he looked at Hermione and Ron, Hermione had already snatched the bait mouse from his hand and pulled the mouse away. tail, throwing it to the ground.

   That thing was really like a mouse, it kept running forward, and finally sneaked into the classroom where Snape and Quirrell were.

   A few seconds later, a piercing sound came out of the classroom accompanied by a puff of choking smoke. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all stunned by this scene.

  Finally, Hermione was the first to recover, and quickly dragged Harry and Ron to run away.

   As soon as the three of them left, there was a burst of angry cursing in the classroom where Snape and Quirrell were. The two rushed out of the classroom, looking around to find the culprit that caused all this.

   However, they got nothing.

  Snape also realized that the two sides could not continue the conversation. Looking at Quirrell's leaving back, he returned to the classroom, inspected the scene of the crime, and looked for traces left by the murderer.

   A few minutes later, Snape discovered the culprit of all this, a tattered bait rat that really looked like a rat.

When Snape grabbed the mouse by the tail and picked it up from the ground, the mouse's few intact heads suddenly exploded, and black smoke enveloped Snape's body, making him covered in dust, looking Extremely embarrassed.

   "Damn it, if I find out who did it, I'll definitely fire him." Snape coughed dryly and walked out of the classroom cursing.

   Waiting for Harry, Ron and Hermione to see Snape leaving in embarrassment, they were all stunned by the effect of Albert's joke props.

  Harry could not close his mouth from ear to ear in shock, it was the first time he saw Snape in such a panic.

   "Great." Ron finally couldn't help laughing after Snape disappeared around the corner.

   "I don't know if Albert still has this thing." Harry muttered.

   "Don't think about it, even if you have it, you must spend money to buy it." Hermione didn't forget about the newsletter bookmark.

   "Oh, I hope it's not too expensive," Harry murmured. Last time, Harry got Galleons from Gringotts, and there were still a lot left to spend.

  Ron opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

  …

  Albert has no idea that he has an extra customer. He is checking his panel task, and the task of "Helping Hand" has been completed by 1/5.

   Sure enough, I was able to get the task from the trio.

Albert was in a very happy mood. When he raised his head, he happened to meet Isobel's eyes. He shrugged with a smile and said, "Well, I admit, I really don't like Snape very much. If we can find some Trouble, naturally better."

"Snape knows Legilimency." Isobel reminded kindly, "Harry Potter and his two friends don't know Occlumency, once Snape wants to peep into their brains, you'll be fine." Can't hide it."

"I know, but so what, it's not the first time Snape has troubled me." Albert's tone was very calm, he really didn't like Snape, and this matter involved a task, He didn't mind giving Snape some unexpected surprises at all.

   Although the task reward of "Helping Hand" is not high, it can effectively increase the favorability of the trio by 15 points after completion, which is beneficial to his future planning.

  After the two entered the Room of Response, Isobel suddenly said: "I always feel that you seem to be planning something!"

  I’m investing in the future, and you probably don’t know it, I wanted to be a…”

   "Well, it's not the first day we met." Isobel interrupted, "I think you are doing something very dangerous."

   "Why do you think so."

"Harry Potter is the savior." Isobel looked into Albert's eyes and said, "He itself represents trouble, especially when he has something to do with Potter. I don't think the treasure in the restricted area on the fourth floor is released It was purely accidental there."

   "Well, I really deserve to be Isobel." Albert admired Isobel's keen intuition.

   "Let's not talk about this." Isobel said with a smile, "I won the wizard card competition and helped you promote a wave of wizard cards. Shouldn't you give me some rewards?"

   "What award do you want..." Albert's mouth was blocked before he finished speaking.
