Chapter 111 Exchange of secrets
In the early hours of the morning, Albert had just woken up from a light sleep. The surroundings were pitch black. He was not sure what time it was, but he could clearly feel the shallow breathing of other roommates around him.
Albert quietly got out of bed and was about to change his clothes, when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
“We thought you would sleep until dawn.”
"So, George, you lose." Fred sat on the edge of the bed and looked at his twin brother with a smile, "I told you a long time ago that Albert will definitely wake up."
“Okay, you win.” George nodded a little depressed.
“Good evening.” Albert put on a sweater, looked at his two roommates and asked, “Together?”
"certainly."
“It’s a pity that Lee Jordan really fell asleep!”
“What should I do? Should I wake him up?”
The two of them lit up their wands and raised them to the other bed. Looking at their roommate who was breathing evenly, they both shook their heads and said, "Give up, I can't wake you up!"
"Then don't wake him up." Albert was putting on thick clothes on himself, wrapping the towel Nia gave him around his neck, and casually reminded him: "It's cold at night, so wear some clothes." Clothes to avoid catching a cold!”
"We have been prepared for a long time." This was not the first time for the twins to travel at night, and they had more experience than Albert.
The three of them quietly went downstairs. The Gryffindor common room was already empty, and the fire had long been extinguished.
"Shall I use the Disillusionment Curse on you now?" After Albert briefly adjusted his winter cloak, he raised his wand and said to the twins beside him: "Wait a minute, follow closely when you go out, don't lose yourself. ”
"Where are you going?" Fred asked curiously: "The restricted area?"
"Yes, I'm going to borrow some books there." Albert did not deny that he had peeked into the forbidden book area, and said in a low voice, ""The Book of Spells", and..."Powerful Potion", or other potion books, I'm actually very interested in the Elixir of Fortune. I can definitely find relevant records in the forbidden book area."
“Are you going to brew good luck water?” The twins looked at each other and said in unison.
“It’s still a little difficult now, but I’ll definitely be able to do it in the future. I’m confident in my potion skills.” Albert has a skill panel, so he is naturally very confident.
The elixir is a good thing and he will not give it up easily.
"Do you plan to make a lot of money selling the elixir in the future?" The twins looked at each other, "I dare say it will be a good seller. When the time comes, remember to bring us along and we can make a fortune together."
"This is a good idea. A small bite should be able to sell for 20 galleons or even more." Albert murmured, "You two are terrible at potion science. What you boil out is probably poison."
"a small bit!"
“Twenty galleons!”
The twins' tone of voice suddenly rose, as if they heard something unbelievable, and completely ignored the second half of Albert's words.
"The value of the Fortune Potion is indeed very high, but it is also very difficult to brew and the process is very complex. It is said that only advanced potion masters can brew it. It is priceless but not marketable. After all, most people need "lucky" "At the time." Albert reminded, "However, brewing it is very complicated. Once you make a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous. Even a master cannot guarantee that the brewing will be successful. Failure will mean half a year of hard work. It’s gone.”
In fact, Albert knew that the Felixir did not bring real "good luck", but he needed the effect of the potion, and drinking it would be equivalent to adding a powerful buff to himself.
The most important thing is that he has a skill panel and an experience pool. If he masters the skills first, when necessary, he can transform into an expert in brewing elixirs instantly.
The Fortune Elixir has undoubtedly aroused the interest of the twins. The potion that can bring good luck can also be sold for a large sum of money. If you really master it, it means making a fortune. Although they do not specifically pursue wealth, they are also very clear. What it feels like to be poor.
No one wants to be poor if they can have money.
"Okay, I'm going to use the Disillusionment Curse." Albert looked at the two of them and asked, "Who comes first."
“No, you don’t need to use the Disillusionment Charm, we have a better way.”
"A better way?" Albert naturally knew what they meant by a better way, but at this time he should pretend that he knew nothing.
"Use this." The twins took out an old piece of parchment from their pockets like a magic trick and waved it in front of Albert like a treasure.
"What is this?" Albert lowered his voice, deliberately making his tone sound doubtful, so as not to reveal any flaws. He did not know about the Marauder's Map.
In fact, it was so dark that Fred and George would not notice the expression on Albert's face.
"Map, do you remember the good stuff we both got from Filch's "Confiscated Materials, Highly Dangerous" drawer?" Fred reminded.
"Oh, this is what you got from Filch, an old piece of parchment?" Albert raised his wand and moved it towards the old parchment. There was nothing on it.
“Invisibility magic, or invisible ink?”
"This is a map, a map of Hogwarts. It requires a special password to use. However, you are right, it can hide the information inside." George raised his wand and clicked the map, muttering: "I solemnly I swear I didn't do anything good."
“Didn’t do anything good?” Albert felt a little want to laugh, but he still nodded seriously and said: “It’s true that he didn’t do anything good.”
The map soon changed, with countless inks and interlaced lines outlining a map of the castle.
“It’s really a wonderful map, and it’s not hard to see the creator’s good intentions.” Albert said softly, “There is also very advanced tracking magic on it.”
“What magic?” George asked puzzledly.
“Tracking magic.” Albert explained. "The maker used tracking magic on the map, and his skills are quite high."
"Yes, he will mark the location of everyone in the castle." Fred winked at Albert and said: "Just after twelve o'clock, Filch really got up and patrolled around, trying to catch Stay with you, but it’s a pity...you weren’t awake at the time, so his trip was in vain.”
"So... you know that the locations of those secret passages are also related to this map?" Albert asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Yes, I did know it from the Marauder's Map." The twin brothers whispered: "Don't tell Lee Jordan about this yet."
"I know." Albert expressed understanding, "But I think there are some secrets in the school that you definitely don't know."
“What secret?” the twins said in unison.
“The broom cabinet you were looking for earlier.” Albert said mysteriously.
“Did you find the broom closet?”
"That's not a broom closet, follow me." Albert smiled mysteriously, "You will be surprised later."
