Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 702 Intrusion Incident

"what time is it?"

  Isobel just woke up, rubbed his head into Albert's arms, and asked in a daze.

   "It's almost half past six."

   Albert reached for the pocket watch on the bed cabinet, and with the help of the faint candlelight, he could see the current time clearly, "We have to get up, and we have to attend the Halloween party later."

   "A little tired." The girl muttered.

   "It is estimated that the blood sugar is a little low."

Albert hugged his girlfriend tenderly, put the pocket watch back on the bed cabinet, and took a box of chocolates from the pile of sweets. After unpacking, he handed the chocolates to her mouth, "Eating some sweets will make you feel better." Come on, open your mouth~ ah!"

   "Blood sugar?"

  Isobel took a bite of the chocolate vaguely, shrank into Albert's arms like a kitten, "What is that?"

   "Would you like some more?"

"Um."

   After Albert slowly fed Isobel a piece of chocolate, the two finally got up. The girl stood in front of the mirror and straightened the wrinkled clothes, and then seized the last ten minutes and hurried downstairs to the auditorium.

  There were hundreds of jack-o-lanterns floating above the auditorium. Because Hagrid didn't care about the big pumpkins in the field, Professor Flitwick had to take other ways to remedy it.

   Albert quickly found Fred, George, and Lee Jordan. The three were sitting under a group of fluttering bats. They did not forget to reserve a seat for Albert.

   "It took a total of thirteen Galleons."

  Fred pretended to be looking at the orange streamers spouting flames on the ceiling, and whispered to Albert: "However, we can't be sure if that **** is using fake products to fool us."

   As he spoke, George took out dry black pod-like poisonous tentacle seeds from a bulging bag.

  Albert put the seeds of the poisonous tentacles to his ears, and he could hear a slight rattling sound. He nodded to the three of them and said, "It's what we want. Don't plant it for now. Find a box and put it away."

"I will."

   It didn’t take long for the Halloween banquet to start, and delicious food suddenly appeared on a golden plate, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.

   Albert concentrated on dealing with a chicken leg, chatting with his roommates about what happened today.

   If nothing else, Blake has almost broken into the Hogwarts castle and tried to enter the Gryffindor common room through the fat lady.

  Now is the best chance to catch Black, but Albert has no intention of catching Black now, which means that his Gallon has flown away, and if Black is caught now, he will surely die.

  Albert is usually very patient with a guy who might do him a huge favor.

  Amidst the laughter, the dinner came to an end.

  This year’s Halloween dinner ended with the program provided by the ghosts of Hogwarts. At the Gryffindor table, Nick, who was almost headless, was recreating the scene of his beheading for everyone.

"I think we can invent a similar game, let the wooden figurine slowly climb up the steps, walk to a set of noose racks, let the participants answer the riddles, and if they can't answer the riddles, the wooden figurine will be hanged to death." George looked Looking at Nick over there, describe the game idea to the roommates.

   "I think children will like it." Albert echoed casually: "You can let the villain make some noises after he is hanged, or give some punishment to the failed players."

   "I think it is possible to invent a pair of boots that can walk on the wall." Lee Jordan looked at the ghost floating in midair and said, "Or, props that allow people to float in midair."

"Perhaps, you can stuff some Billywig pincer powder into your mouth." Fred said without hesitation, "There are still a lot of Billywig pincers that I bought last time, and it is said that I have eaten too much of them. It can make people float in mid-air forever."

   "It's not eating too much, it's allergies, and there are very few unlucky people like that." Albert corrected.

   "Maybe you can use the levitation spell, and then make a pair of boots that can make you stick to the wall, maybe you can walk on the wall." George said his thoughts.

After the dinner, Albert, who was full, followed everyone slowly. Before he returned to the common room, he saw Professor Dumbledore rushing to the common room of Gryffindor, and then Albert I saw everyone walking back, preparing to return to the auditorium.

"what happened?"

   "The fat lady's portrait was ruined by Blake." Fred explained, "By the way, where were you just now?"

   "It's right behind you." Albert stretched out his hand to cover his yawn, and said lazily, "I ate too much at night, so I walked slower."

  Students from Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin also came, and the auditorium was full of whispers, and everyone was asking students from other houses for news.

   This chaotic situation did not gradually calm down until Dumbledore appeared.

  All the students were told by the Headmaster that they needed to spend the night in the Great Hall, as a thorough search of the castle would take place.

  Before he left, Dumbledore cleared out the auditorium and conjured hundreds of sleeping bags out of thin air for the students to spend the night in the auditorium.

  However, the prefects did not have that luck. They were required to stand guard at the entrance of the auditorium to maintain order, so as to ensure that there would be no chaos in the auditorium.

   "Do you think Black is still in the castle?" Shanna moved closer to Albert, holding a wand in her hand, looking a little nervous.

   "Don't worry, Black is no longer in the castle." Albert reassured.

  The two passed through the crowd and walked towards the outside of the hall.

   "Did you predict it?" Shanna asked in a low voice.

"No, as long as Black is not stupid, he will not stay in the castle. It is inevitable for the professors to search the castle." Albert said, "However, his behavior of destroying the fat lady's portrait is very stupid. It is not difficult to see that Black's Feeling out of control."

   "How on earth did he get in." Shanna was more worried about this question.

   "Probably through a secret passage." Albert said without thinking, "There are many secret passages in the school, and it is not surprising that Black knows one of them."

   "But Filch knows all the secret passages." Shanna reminded.

   "Filch can't possibly know all the secret passages." Albert saw Nick approaching this way and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

   "Percy is looking for you," Nick reminded.

"I see."

  As soon as Albert came to Percy, he heard him ask the two prefects to search the castle with Professor McGonagall.

  As for him and Shanna, they will stay here to patrol and maintain order in the auditorium.

   "I can change it with them." Albert didn't really want to stay in the auditorium, so he didn't want to be lazy.

   "I'm fine." Shanna thought of Albert's words, and felt that there should be no danger in following Albert.

   "We're fine."

   Not many people are willing to participate in the search for Black. After all, talking about Black and hunting for Black are two different things.

   "Nick, please take them to Professor McGonagall." Satisfied with the efficiency here, Percy immediately said to Nick.

   "You sure know something, don't you!"

   Shannah knew that Albert was not someone who liked to talk big, he would think that Black was no longer in the castle, and there must be some evidence.

"Blake destroyed the portrait of the Fat Lady with a knife." Albert took out a candy from his pocket, peeled one, put it in his mouth, and handed a few to Shanna, "Let's refresh yourself with a candy! Tonight we Don't try to sleep."

   "You mean, Blake doesn't have a wand in his hand?" Shanna was also very flexible, and immediately thought of the reason.

   "If Blake had had a wand, I think he would have burned the whole thing down in a fit of rage."
