Chapter 148 Rescued
At this moment, Albert was running desperately in the blazing flame tunnel, with Yaya following closely behind him.
The Acromantulas were very agitated by the sudden flames. They instinctively moved away from the fire wall to give Albert enough time and space.
After Albert hurriedly ran to the protector tree, before even taking a breath, he immediately waved his wand and used the fire spell again.
A ring of fire began to burn in the direction pointed by Albert's wand, burning ten feet away from the guardian tree.
The fire seemed very fierce, but there was no burning material to support it. The mulch and fallen leaves on the ground simply could not keep the fire wall burning.
"Yingardim~Leviosa!" Albert waved his wand and used the levitation spell on the hound Fang, so that Fang could levitate.
The latter was greatly frightened, whining in horror, and his legs slid randomly in the air, as if swimming in water.
"Quick, give me a hand!" Albert also started to climb the tree. Fred and George reached out and gave him a hand, which allowed Albert to climb up the tree quickly.
Ya Ya was quickly lifted from the suspension spell and shivered on the wooden platform created by Albert using the transformation spell.
"Why are you here?" Fred and George had recovered from their trance and looked at Albert in shock. They never thought that the person who came to save them would be Albert.
"Otherwise, who do you think it could be?" Albert just regained his composure and stared at the Weasley brothers angrily, "Professor McGonagall? Or Professor Dumbledore? By the time they find out you are missing, you will have been killed long ago. The giant eye spider tore it into pieces and became the food in the belly of those monsters."
The cheeks of both of them turned red, and they couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, but they had to admit that Albert's words were right, it's Easter now!
If Albert had not discovered that the two were missing at the first time, and if it were later, Hagrid might come over tomorrow to help collect the bodies of the two, and even the bones might not be found.
“What should we do now?” Fred moved aside to make room for Albert.
"Waiting for rescue. When I came, I asked Li Jordan to find Professor McGonagall." Albert was calming his breathing rhythm and comforted: "The professors should be here soon. You continue to look towards the sky. Shoot red sparks to guide them."
“You, you entered the forest alone?” George suddenly realized something and looked at Albert dumbfounded, unable to believe this fact.
"How on earth did you do it? You can still find us in the Forbidden Forest." Fred also realized the meaning of George's words. After reacting, he looked at Albert with the same dumbfounded look.
They couldn't believe that Albert broke into the Forbidden Forest alone in the middle of the night and found them successfully.
"What else?" Albert didn't pay attention to the shocked look on the twin brothers' faces, because he noticed that the fire ring below had been extinguished, and the surrounding spider army was surrounding them again.
"How did you provoke these Acromantulas? Did you poke their nests or steal their eggs?" Albert frowned slightly, raised his wand, and killed one that was trying to get close to the guardian tree. The Acromantula fell to the ground.
"No, we met a few big spiders on the road, so we ran nearby to find the protection of the guardian tree. We didn't expect that the number of these big spiders would increase." Fred's face was a little tangled.
“The result is this scene you see,” George added.
“Alanya~Aitemi!”
Another spider was knocked down by the spell. Looking down from the guardian tree, a dense group of large spiders below looked very scary.
“Keep firing red sparks, don’t stop.” Albert warned.
“Oh!” George continued to shoot red sparks into the sky and looked at Albert secretly.
To be honest, it is really hard for the twin brothers to imagine how Albert walked through the forest late at night and found himself. Even if he is a professor, it may not be so easy to find someone deep in the dark Forbidden Forest!
“Protect everything! Protect everything! Protect everything!” Albert released three defensive spells in a row, completely covering the tree.
The big spider outside hit the magic barrier, as if hitting a wall of air, and was blocked abruptly.
"What kind of magic is this!" George's eyes widened in surprise, because they saw the spider rushing up and hitting the wall.
“We should be safe now!”
"Don't think too much. If the professors don't come here soon, just wait to be eaten!" Albert took a breath and shook his head as a reminder, "Don't you notice that these big spiders are getting more and more anxious?"
Fred and George looked at each other and soon realized that Albert was right. At first, they did not dare to approach the guardian tree.
The two of them couldn't help but secretly said that they were lucky. If Albert had been later, they might really be eaten by those big spiders.
"Why didn't you come with the professors?" Fred still couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart. According to Albert's character, he shouldn't have rashly entered the Forbidden Forest late at night.
"I originally planned to ask Hagrid for help, but Hagrid was not in his cabin, so I had no choice but to come to you with Yaya. Thanks to Yaya, I was not attacked by the Acromantula." Albert touched Yaya. head.
This timid hound is in trouble tonight.
"So, you go into the forest by yourself." Both of them couldn't help but open their mouths.
Now, Fred and George finally understood why Albert was placed in Gryffindor. With the courage and courage he showed now, even the Gryffindor students combined might not be able to match him. .
“Okay, take it out!” Albert suddenly said.
“What to take out?”
"Of course it's a map, the Gryffindor secret treasure map." Albert looked at the two of them and shook his head helplessly: "You actually believe that kind of ghost thing. Didn't I warn you before? Forbidden Forest The depths are very dangerous, but you still don’t listen, and now you’ve almost become food for spiders, haven’t you learned your lesson?”
Fred and George thought about it carefully and realized that this really happened.
At the beginning, Albert reminded them that there might be an Acromantula breeding farm in the Forbidden Forest, and he also said that they should be careful about being eaten by Acromantulas.
This thing really almost came true!
Speaking of which, George still remembered that when the two of them went out for a night out for the first time, Albert reminded them to be careful about being locked out of the lounge by the Fat Lady... and it came true that time.
Are your words poisonous?
Whatever you say, it will come true!
“How do you know there is an Acromantula breeding farm here?” Fred asked curiously. He wanted to know who was raising these dangerous monsters in the Forbidden Forest.
"Listen to what Professor Brod said." Albert saw through the two people's thoughts and sighed, "But don't be stupid, this is probably not a breeding farm, otherwise these big spiders will not attack you. "
“But what’s going on with these big spiders? Don’t tell me that these monsters originally lived in the Forbidden Forest.”
"It is estimated that someone released the Acromantula into the Forbidden Forest. There are almost no natural enemies of the Acromantula here, and the food is quite sufficient. That's why these big spiders have multiplied so much." Albert looked at the Acromantula below. , muttered: "Maybe, this is Hagrid's fault."
Of course Albert knew very well that the so-called Acromantula Farm was a complete joke. It was basically Hagrid releasing a pair of Acromantulas into the Forbidden Forest. After decades of reproduction, the huge spider community was formed today.
Click!
While several people were talking, the protective barrier created by Albert began to collapse. This was the disadvantage of being too large. It was far from being as strong as the smaller version. After encountering the continuous impact of the Acromantula, the defensive barrier collapsed. The world gradually cracked.
“What should we do?” Fred looked at Albert uneasily.
“Continue to fire red sparks to push back the approaching big spiders.”
After the defensive barrier was broken, Albert immediately used the fire spell to push back all the big spiders that tried to approach the guardian tree.
The situation is not optimistic.
However, Albert was not worried about his own safety. He was still using the spider dispersing spell towards the spiders below. Since there are so many giant spiders, basically every shot can knock down one, and there is no need to aim at all.
Albert had no time to answer the twins' questions. He was working hard to gain experience.
The professors are probably coming, so it’s better to gain as much experience as possible before the professors arrive. After all, two have 100 experience points, which means level one magic.
To master a kind of magic initially, you need to waste a lot of time practicing.
This deal is a good deal.
I don’t know how long it took, but most of the big spiders surrounding the Dharma Protector Tree were knocked down. These big guys actually felt afraid, and no big spiders dared to attack the Dharma Protector Tree anymore.
Fred and George looked at the big spider knocked down by Albert below and were completely dumbfounded. They never thought that Albert was so brave!
One person fights against a swarm of spiders.
"I feel like my tongue is about to get knotted." Albert felt tired from frequent spells and he was stuffing chocolate into his mouth.
“Those spider swarms are retreating.” George shouted excitedly, “Can we go back?”
"It's best to wait here obediently. If you leave the protection of the guardian tree, you will easily be attacked by spiders." Albert reminded angrily: "Also, think carefully about how to deal with the professor and the map later. ."
“What do you want a map for?” George asked suspiciously.
“Of course it’s confiscated, is it possible that we’ll let you continue taking risks next time?”
"we will not."
“People always like to repeat things over and over again.”
“We don’t understand what people say.”
"I know that you will try to find the so-called secret treasure of Gryffindor again, so give me the map. Without the map, you will no longer have the stupid idea of finding any treasure." Albert stretched out his hand to F. Red asks for a map.
“Don’t do that,” George muttered. “We won’t.”
"Do you believe this?" Albert glared at George fiercely and reminded maliciously: "I think you'd better think about how to explain this to Professor McGonagall when you go back. She will probably tell you. family."
“Oh, no!” Fred screamed in horror and almost fell from the tree, but Albert had quick eyesight and reached out to give him a hand.
George did not have such luck. He was farther away from Albert and fell directly from the tree, making a painful whine.
“Are you okay?” Albert leaned down and asked.
“Something’s wrong, it hurts!”
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and give me that map!" Albert warned, "Next time, you will probably go directly into the Acromantula's lair. It's enough to make such a stupid mistake once. ”
Fred reluctantly handed the map to Albert, who stuffed it into his pocket without even looking at it. Then, he reached out and pulled George up the tree. Although the spider swarm had receded, it was still not safe here after all.
At three o'clock, a professor finally arrived.
What surprised Albert was that the person who came to rescue them was not Professor McGonagall, but Professor Broad.
The old man was wearing a dark purple robe, but the robe was a little torn. It was probably torn by branches while walking through the forest.
"It seems that you are fine." Professor Brod's eyes were shining with strange light in the darkness. He looked at Albert with a smile and reminded: "Mr. Anderson, I have to remind you that what you did is too much. That's reckless. Of course, I have to admit that you did a great job and it surprised me!"
"Good evening, Professor Brod." Albert greeted the old man with a smile: "I didn't expect you to come to save us. I originally thought the person coming would be Professor McGonagall."
"Coincidentally, I was about to go to the bathroom to relieve myself, and I happened to meet Mr. Jordan." Professor Brod said as he walked towards the three of them. "He told me everything, so I hurried over. I was just worried that you couldn't find the two Mr. Weasleys, so I took care of myself first."
"I brought Hagrid's hound with me. With it, no creature in the forest will hurt me." Albert used Hagrid's words to block Professor Broad.
“Do you believe this?” Professor Broad looked around and asked with a half-smile.
Albert was a little embarrassed, and he just used these words to fool others.
“By the way, what spell did you use to knock down these Acromantulas? These monsters are too dangerous.”
Actually, Professor Brod came here following Albert.
On the way, he was very surprised when he found the Acromantula that had been knocked down, and there were quite a few spiders that had been knocked down by the spell.
However, none of them were as shocking as the scene in front of him. There were no less than a hundred Acromantulas fallen here. The number was really astonishing!
It is simply impossible for three first-year students to do it. The spells learned in the first grade are simply not enough to fight against an Acromantula.
However, hundreds of them were knocked down here, not one, not ten, but hundreds. This number is really shocking.
These defeated Acromantulas undoubtedly proved Albert's power.
“Look out!” George screamed.
"Alanya~Aitemi!" Albert raised his magic and used the spider dispersing spell towards the big spider that was struggling to get up. He didn't even know how many times he had used it before he became proficient at it.
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Anderson. If I were bitten by such a big guy, I would probably have to resign early." Professor Broad turned his head and looked at the Acromantula that was knocked away by the spell, with a look of shock on his face. Return to normal soon.
Professor Brod walked towards the three of them. After seeing the guardian tree, he understood how Albert defeated these Acromantulas. He said to several people: "Let's get out of here as soon as possible. Let me see if there is anything suitable as a temporary door key."
“Use this!” Albert handed Fred’s hat to Professor Broad.
"What are you doing carrying a hat with you?" Fred looked at the hat that Albert took out curiously, and somehow it felt a bit familiar.
"This is your hat. I originally used it to ask Yaya to help find you." Albert said angrily.
“Mentos”
The wizard's hat immediately emitted blue light.
“Okay, you may feel a little uncomfortable when you use the door key to go back, please be patient!” Professor Brod said gently.
“What should I do with Yaya?” Albert asked.
"Don't worry, I will take it back to Apparition." Professor Brod said, "Okay, you guys, get ready. I will count to three, and we will reach out and grab the hat together."
“One…” Professor Broad muttered in a low voice, “Two…three…”
Albert and the three of them all reached out and grabbed the corner of the wizard's hat. It seemed that an invisible force sucked the three of them, and took the three of them to fly forward, like a gust of wind, and they couldn't see anything clearly in front of them.
A few seconds later, Albert fell heavily to the ground. Fred and George fell even worse than him, and their faces were in close contact with the soil.
The wizard's hat, which served as the key to the door, slowly fell from the sky and landed right on Fred's head.
Ouch!
Fred and George got up and began to retching, apparently because of the fainting of the key.
Albert is better than them. After all, he had Apparated before and was more resistant to the discomfort of using a portkey than the two of them were.
"Don't worry, this is the key to the Dark Portal." Professor Broad looked at the two people who were retching, shook his head and said: "Mrs. Pomfrey will cure them, we'd better send them to the campus hospital, help me Help someone."
“I hate this feeling!” Albert muttered. When he reached out to help Fred, he heard a rush of footsteps coming towards him.
