Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 757 Horizontal Elongation

After learning from Albert that Sirius Black might have disguised himself as a black dog, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan often spent their free time wandering outside the castle, trying to meet Hogwarts. The black dog Black, but this approach is undoubtedly a waste of effort, Albert never thought that Black would appear around the castle when there were many people.

If Sirius Black's Animagus form is a cat, there is no need to worry about causing suspicion. After all, there are really many students who bring pet cats to school. It is normal to have a few cats wandering around the castle, but Hogwarts The presence of another dog around the castle seemed suspicious, because apart from Hagrid's hound named Fang, almost no students at Hogwarts school would bring dogs to Hogwarts.

  However, Fred, George and Lee Jordan never gave up looking for the whereabouts of Sirius Black.

"What are you doing?"

  Albert and Isobel just came out of Madame Puddiffe's teahouse when they saw three suspicious-looking guys coming out of an alley.

   "We're looking for the black dog you mentioned last time." Fred winked at Albert and said, "Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be here."

   "Let's go first, so we won't disturb your date." George pulled Fred towards Zuko's joke shop.

   "Oh, don't tease him, and don't scare him away." Albert warned. When he turned his head, he found that Isobel was looking at him.

   "Children are always curious." Albert shrugged and explained.

   "Kids?"

   "Let's go over and buy some snacks. What do you want to eat?" Albert changed the subject and pointed to the honey candy store not far away.

   "Did you tell them?" Isobel was a little surprised that Albert would actually tell others about these things.

   "They are my friends and my helpers. Don't worry, for the sake of your dreams, I don't think they will mess things up." Albert said confidently.

  When the two were about to enter the Honeydukes candy store, they were attracted by a sudden scream.

  Draco Malfoy seemed to have been frightened by something, and was running desperately, with Crabbe and Goyle following behind him.

  Albert stopped, looked down the street, his eyes fell on Malfoy who was running wildly, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

  Suddenly, Malfoy's left foot seemed to be tripped by something, and he leaned forward, face down, and fell heavily on the ground in the posture of a dog chewing mud.

  That handsome face had a large area of ​​abrasions, blood was thrown from the nose, and it was almost disfigured.

  The situation of Goyle and Crabbe is also not very good. In order to dodge the fallen Malfoy, they also fell to the ground.

  The sudden fall of the three of them drew the attention of other students on the street.

  People gathered around one after another, pointing at the three who fell to the ground and whispering.

  Actually, there are many people who gloated over this, especially Ron Weasley, who also hurried over, laughed so hard that he almost shed tears after seeing Malfoy who fell down.

   "Oh my God, Draco, are you okay!"

   Several Slytherin girls ran over and helped Malfoy who was a little stunned.

  Isobel glanced at Albert beside him, as if asking if he did it just now. After all, Isobel had seen Albert cause trouble for Malfoy more than once.

   Albert shook his head and said that this matter has nothing to do with him. He pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward, asking, "What happened here?"

   "Harry, I saw Harry's head floating in mid-air." Malfoy said in horror.

  Hearing Malfoy's words, Fred and George guessed what happened.

  George immediately sarcastically said: "Mr. Malfoy wished Harry to die sooner, so he saw Harry's ghost."

   "Maybe, his head was smashed." Ron sneered.

   "Okay, don't crowd around here, who is willing to help take them back to the castle." Albert looked around and asked, "The bruises on their bodies need to be treated by Madam Pomfrey, and maybe a cup of tranquilizer."

  Most of the students clearly have no intention of returning to Hogwarts just yet.

   At this moment, Ron raised his hand and said, "I can take the three of them back."

   "We can do it too." Fred, George, and Lee Jordan expressed their willingness to "escort" the three of Malfoy back to Hogwarts Castle.

   "Go away, I don't need your hypocrisy."

   Malfoy reached out and touched the wound on his cheek, his expression distorted in pain, he pushed away the crowd angrily, and limped towards the periphery.

  A Slytherin girl quickly chased after him, seeming a little worried about Malfoy's situation.

   "I have to go back and tell Harry the good news."

   After Ron greeted the others, he left in a hurry. He had to get back to the castle before Malfoy.

  Isobel frowned and said, "This is very bad."

   "The three of them will become Death Eaters in a few years." Albert was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Their father is like that, and you can read related news in the newspapers in the future."

   This time, it was Isobel who was silent.

   "Honestly, you don't have to be nice to bad guys who aren't nice."

  Albert picked up a small packet of sizzling bee candies, and said calmly, "Hagrid's Hippogriff will soon be sentenced to death, and that guy is the culprit."

   The two of them didn't continue this topic. After buying snacks, they went to the Hogsmeade hut.

  The house has been completely rebuilt, and although nothing has changed on the outside, the inside of the house has undergone earth-shaking changes.

  After careful arrangement by the house elf Bit, the room became warm and comfortable, and a blazing fire was burning in the fireplace.

  The living room is covered with soft carpets, there are several comfortable sofas, and there is a big bed in the master bedroom. Albert asked Herb to help buy all the furniture in the room.

  Then, the house elf used magic to put it into the storage box made by Albert, and brought it here directly from the warehouse.

   Now, Albert is trying to fold and cut the room, trying to hide another layer of rooms.

  This is like a double-layered set, and only those who are allowed can enter the real house.

  After all, it is too suspicious to directly disappear the house out of thin air. Even if it is disguised, it still cannot be hidden from the powerful wizard.

  So, Albert planned to use the Fidelity Curse to completely hide the other part. Then, let the house-elves live in the outer layer for a few days, creating traces of people living here.

  However, this is a big project. Fortunately, Albert is not alone, otherwise I don't know how long it will take to complete.
