Chapter 118 A bracelet that brings luck
weekend.
It was a sunny day, perfect for watching a Quidditch match.
At ten thirty in the morning, Albert and others set out from the castle and walked through the snow on the road to the stadium stands. A large number of students had gathered here, and everyone was talking loudly about the outcome of the game.
"Good morning, Hagrid." Albert greeted Hagrid, who was holding binoculars.
“Thank you for the hat.” Hagrid patted the woolen hat on his head, “I never thought I would receive a gift at Christmas.”
“You can take it as a gift in return.” Albert said with a smile.
“Return gift?” Hagrid asked puzzledly, “What return gift?”
“Dharma-protecting branch, unicorn tail hair.” Albert raised his wrist, and there was a delicate white bracelet on it.
"What's this?"
"The bracelet that brings good luck to people, I made it with the unicorn tail hair and the guardian tree you gave me." Albert said with a smile, "It can bring good luck to the wearer."
“Brings good luck to the wearer?” Hagrid muttered quietly, “I have never heard that unicorn tail hair and guardian tree can bring good luck to the wearer.”
Fred, George and Lee Jordan next to them all couldn't help but laugh.
You like to deceive others, now you are exhausted!
“However, your rope is very beautifully woven.” Hagrid coughed lightly.
"I mean the runes on it." Albert picked up two pendants polished from the guardian tree and showed them to the three of them. They were engraved with the runes that Albert had shown them a while ago.
“You really carved that strange rune on it. Are you sure it’s really effective?” George asked suspiciously.
"Who knows?" Albert shrugged, "Maybe it can really bring good luck, then you'll make money."
Originally, Albert planned to make a protective bracelet.
But, after engraving several beads one after another, I broke it, so I gave up temporarily and chose the simplest good luck rune to engrave.
As for whether this thing can bring him good luck, Albert actually doesn’t know.
Anyway, when he tried to use his own blood to activate the runes on the beads, he didn't feel anything special.
Perhaps it failed.
However, Albert still wore it on his body, just to verify whether the runes were really effective.
"Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff, does anyone want to place a bet?" At this time, several senior students came over with wooden boxes for bets, and the shouts interrupted Amber. Special thoughts.
The twins seemed to be planning to place a bet, and Lee Jordan next to him had already taken out a silver coin.
“Who do you want to bet on?” The three of them looked at Albert.
“I bet that Gryffindor will win by catching the Golden Snitch.” Albert took out a Silver Siko and made a bet.
“The same goes for us.” The three of them handed the money to each other in unison.
"A lot of people are betting on this. The odds are not high. If we win against Hufflepuff, we will give 3 times the odds." said the senior student.
“No, just Gryffindor.”
Albert didn’t care whether he could win money or not, he just had a good time, purely for the atmosphere.
“What’s your name?” the senior student asked, taking out his notebook and quill.
“His name is Albert Anderson.” Fred answered for Albert.
"Albert Anderson." The senior scrawled something and handed it to Fred. "After the game, we'll be at the exit. If you win the bet, take the note. Go find us."
Albert looked at the three roommates and said speechlessly, "You are not afraid of losing money."
“We believe in your luck.” The three of them said in unison. Now that Albert has made the bet, although the probability is low, they are actually still willing to try their luck with him.
"My luck?" Albert couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, "Just don't blame me for losing money."
"We won't," Fred said. "We don't think that the Gryffindor team, which has been practicing hard, will lose to the Hufflepuff team."
“Gambling is not a good habit.” Hagrid reminded him with a raised eyebrow.
“I thought you would bet 10 galleons just now.”
"Do you think I'm a fool?" Albert couldn't help rolling his eyes and said: "This kind of private gambling is never reliable. If I bet 10 Galleons and I win, the other party can increase my winnings." Will Long come back?"
“I guess I can’t get it out.” Fred thought for a while and replied.
"Well, it seems you know what you're doing." Hagrid nodded. There was nothing wrong with making a small bet occasionally.
“The last time he bet on who was the Minister of Magic, he won 100 Galleons.” Lee Jordan explained, “This guy’s luck is frightening.”
Hagrid opened his mouth wide in surprise and threw the thought in his mind to the ground and crushed it to pieces.
“Ahem, Hagrid, which pair do you think will win?” Albert asked.
“Gryffindor, of course,” Hagrid said angrily. "It's best not to bet. No one can win all the time."
“Ahem, I know this very well.”
In fact, Albert actually won the bet, and the Gryffindor team finally defeated the Hufflepuff team.
This exciting game lasted only an hour, and Charlie successfully caught the Golden Snitch and brought victory to the team.
"Won."
"Won."
“Ah, the note...the note flew away,” George screamed.
Finally, it was Hagrid who reached out to help them retrieve the parchment. Fortunately, there was no wind today.
“Give the parchment to Albert, you unreliable guy.” Lee Jordan took the parchment from Fred and gave it to Albert.
“Accident, that was just an accident.” Fred said with a smile. He had also broken into a cold sweat just now. This thing was worth eight silver Sickles.
“Thank you, Hagrid.” Albert thanked Hagrid.
"You're welcome."
Albert and his friends found the two senior students at the entrance and got the eight silver coins they had bet from them.
"Look, my lucky bracelet still brings me luck." Albert blinked and said, "Those runes are still useful."
“You have good luck!” Fred couldn’t help but rolled his eyes. Winning the bet made them all feel good.
“By the way, did you enter the forest from this way last time?” Albert glanced at the nearby forest and suddenly asked.
Fred and George's expressions froze. Damn it, Hagrid is right next to you, don't mention it.
“Into the forest?” Hagrid stared at the four people in front of him warily.
“Hagrid, can you take us into the forest to gain some knowledge?” Albert looked in the direction of the Forbidden Forest and asked Hagrid beside him.
“This is not possible.” Hagrid flatly refused.
Albert didn't betray Fred and George's embarrassment at all. "The two of them sneaked into the woods and said that the woods next to the school were very ordinary."
“As expected of you…”
“You guy.” The twins glared at Albert, this guy actually betrayed them so simply.
"Ahem, I heard from others that there are many secrets hidden in the Forbidden Forest. It's up to you to take us in for a walk and satisfy our curiosity." Albert winked at Hagrid and said, "From now on, we Then you won’t be curious about what’s in that forest.”
Hagrid was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something, but finally shook his head and refused.
“Can’t you ensure our safety too?”
“The school stipulates that students are not allowed to enter the woods.” Hagrid said.
"Actually, I think Dumbledore's ban on others entering the woods will arouse the curiosity of the students." Albert said, "As far as I know, many people have quietly entered the woods."
“Many people?” Hagrid glared at the Weasley brothers.
“Ahem, they are just one example.” Albert explained, “We just want to satisfy our curiosity, and you don’t often go into the woods.”
"Okay, it's just this once, it won't happen next time." Hagrid agreed, "Follow me, don't run around."
"Look! The lucky charm works well, right?" Albert winked at the stunned three people.
Fred and the other three never thought that Albert could actually convince Hagrid to take them into the woods.
