Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 589 Sharp Weapon

  Christmas is approaching, and Hogwarts Castle is full of Christmas atmosphere.

  Everyone's emotions have become very excited, Christmas means a holiday, and there is probably nothing that students are more happy than a holiday.

  No matter where you go, you can always hear everyone discussing their vacation plans loudly.

When she learned that Albert was planning to go to Italy for the Christmas holiday this year, Shanna's face was full of envy and jealousy. Her family was actually pretty good, but her parents couldn't spare time to spend time with him because of their busy work. She travels abroad.

"Italy?"

  George sat on the empty seat on Albert's right with a plate of food, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say you were going to France to attend a friend's wedding during the Christmas holiday? How did it turn into a vacation to Italy?"

"A lot of friends from France have gone, so I went with them." Albert scooped up a big mouthful of pumpkin porridge, blew a few breaths, and stuffed it into his mouth. The weather has been getting colder recently, and he still I like to have some hot food in the morning to warm my stomach.

  George raised his eyebrows slightly, and quickly made a decision, "I'm afraid we have to give you this year's Christmas gift in advance,"

  Otherwise, once Albert goes abroad, God knows whether the owl can deliver gifts to him on Christmas Day.

   "Are they dating?" Lee Jordan noticed Fred who was talking to Angelina not far away, and asked softly.

   "No." George glanced at Lee Jordan and said mysteriously, "They were talking about what they overheard just now."

   "What's the matter?" Li Qiaodan asked immediately.

"When we came to the hall for dinner, we heard Snape telling Professor McGonagall that someone had broken into his office to steal potion ingredients." George winked at Albert, "There is no doubt that someone A student wanted to make forbidden potions. However, it's really not ordinary to be able to steal into Snape's private storage room."

  As far as they knew, Albert had broken into Snape's private storage room before, and George obviously thought it was Albert who did it this time.

  Hearing what George said, Albert couldn't help but look sideways at Harry, Ron and Hermione who were buried in their meals not far away.

   "Who knows!" Albert retracted his gaze again, "Maybe, it was a good thing done by the heir of Slytherin!"

   Albert will definitely not take the blame for this blame, and it just happens to be blamed on the heir of Slytherin. Anyway, except for the heir of Slytherin, who else would do such a thing?

"By the way, have you heard any rumors?" Lee Jordan lowered his voice and said to the three, "I heard that the professors searched the Hogwarts castle secretly, but they still couldn't find Slytherin's secret room. , but somehow there are rumors that Hagrid is the culprit who opened the Chamber of Secrets last time, and he is the heir of Slytherin."

   "Who said that?" Albert asked.

   "Lockhart."

   "Is Lockhart blind?" George was speechless.

"Hagrid is not like the heir of Slytherin." Although Shanna didn't know Hagrid, she didn't think he would be the heir of Slytherin. Otherwise, why would Dumbledore let him stay at school as a hunting ground guard? The principal is no idiot.

  Lee Jordan looked around and said in a voice that only a few people could hear: "They said that Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts because of this incident."

  Although Lee Jordan didn't think that Hagrid would be the heir of the so-called Slytherin, he felt that Albert should be told about this matter. He knew that Albert and Hagrid had a very good relationship.

  After noticing Lee Jordan's gaze, Albert said calmly, "I've known about this for a long time. Hagrid told me himself."

  Lee Jordan opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.

"This matter always needs to be resolved, and someone has to take the blame, and Hagrid is just unlucky to be that person." Albert took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "Look at his appearance, he doesn't look like Slater at all." Lin's heir."

   After breakfast, Albert separated from his little friend, put on a thick cloak, and headed to Hagrid's hunting lodge alone.

   However, as soon as he left the hall, Albert found himself in trouble. The original gravel path had been covered with thick snow, and he had to draw out his wand to make a way for himself.

   It was really not easy. It took more than ten minutes to finally reach Hagrid's hunting lodge.

   Albert reached out and knocked on the wooden door. It took a long time for footsteps to be heard in the room. Hagrid, who was wearing a mink coat, opened the wooden door and looked at Albert who appeared at the door in surprise.

   "Why, you are not welcome?" Albert asked with a smile.

   "Why are you here?" Hagrid took a step back and let Albert enter the room.

   "It's so cold in your room!"

   There was a raging flame burning in the fireplace of the hut, but there was still a chill in the room. Albert let out a sigh, and a cloud of white mist actually formed in front of him.

   "It will warm up in a while, I just came back from the owl shack."

  Hagrid pointed to the birdcage by the fireplace. The owls inside looked very tired, obviously exhausted from delivering mail in the snowy and windy weather.

   "They need extra care."

  Hagrid added some wood to the fireplace to make the stove burn more vigorously. Fang had already got up from the blanket and arched his head towards Albert.

  The cold wind rattled the windows, and Hagrid added some water and food to the owl's cage.

   "How is your class preparation?" Albert asked casually.

"this…"

Hagrid didn't have the nerve to say that he didn't ask Professor Ketelber for advice anymore. After all, Professor Kettler's condition got worse and worse after he entered the hospital, and he didn't bother him anymore. The teaching thing still depends on himself after all, and Hagrid already had a good teaching idea.

   "I've already read the "Monster Book of Monsters". The content in it is okay, but that book may not be popular." Albert said after considering his words.

   "Unpopular?" Hagrid was puzzled and puzzled, "Why, I think this book is very interesting."

   Albert was immediately speechless.

  What is fun?

   "Because that book can bite people, and it hurts when bitten." Albert said bluntly: "My suggestion is to take out the content of the previous exams and give lectures to everyone."

"oh."

   Hagrid seemed disappointed.

  Originally, he planned to show his strengths in the protection of magical creatures class, but he was hit by Albert before he even started.

   "By the way, I'm here to ask you to do me a favor."

   Albert looked at the lost Hagrid, quickly changed the subject, took out a detection ball from his pocket and placed it in front of Hagrid.

   "What is this?" Hagrid stretched out his hand to pinch the detection ball and looked it over carefully and asked.

   "Do you know the Looking Glass?"

"Know."

"The principle of the detection ball is similar to that of a looking glass. Once there are dark creatures around, the detection ball will respond." Albert explained: "Of course, the way of reminding is more secret, when you feel it starts to heat up , it means that there are dark creatures around."

I am ashamed to say that the detection ball is not a finished product developed by Albert alone. Nicole LeMay has provided great help to Albert, otherwise he really cannot turn the detection ball into a panel skill in a short time .

   "Is this prepared for that monster in the castle?" Hagrid had already realized the purpose of this thing, and if the effect was really as Albert said, then it would definitely be a sharp weapon for hunting monsters in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

"Yes, if the detection ball works, I don't have to worry about being attacked by monsters in the secret room." Albert nodded, "However, it is still in the testing stage, if you can help me catch a dark creature It would be better to test the specific detection range of the detection ball."

  Kenneth got a Grindylow last time, but the guy threw it into the black lake when he ran out of it, otherwise Albert wouldn't have to come to Hagrid for help.

   "Dark creature?" Hagrid scratched his head. "I tried my best. It's not easy to catch an ordinary dark creature in this kind of horrible weather."

   "Then please."

   "By the way, can this thing find out the monster in the secret room?" Hagrid asked suddenly, he really wanted to find out that monster with his own hands.

"I'm afraid not. If you want to find the monster in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, you need to find the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets first." Albert reminded, "If the Chamber of Secrets were so easy to find, it might have been found fifty years ago gone."

   "If you really find something, remember to inform other professors first, and don't act rashly." Hagrid warned, he felt that with Albert's ability, he might really be able to find some clues.

"I see."
