Chapter 212 Success
Snape's private warehouse is in the office. If Albert breaks into the office directly, Snape will probably be alerted. Normally, the Hogwarts professor's bedroom is in the cubicle next to the office. Even if Snape had fallen asleep at the moment, it would still be unwise to barge in directly.
However, after taking the Felixir, Albert's first thought was to go to Greenhouse No. 3 to steal a pot of mandrake.
Why go to Greenhouse No. 3 to steal a pot of mandrake?
Albert himself didn’t actually know it, but the intuition brought by the Felixir told him so, so he decided to go to Greenhouse No. 3 first.
At night, the gate to Hogwarts Castle had long been closed, but this could not stop Albert. He left the castle through the secret passage on the third floor.
The heavy rain outside has stopped, and the air is damp and cold.
Albert tightened his cloak tightly, and before stepping out of the secret passage, he used the transformation spell to create boot covers to cover his boots to prevent them from leaving evidence on the muddy ground.
The dock was some distance away from the greenhouse. Albert walked quickly towards the greenhouse. Everything went smoothly. He came to the entrance of the greenhouse and used the wire to easily open the door lock of Greenhouse No. 3, which was sealed by the anti-Alajo Opening Curse. Before entering the greenhouse, Albert waved his wand to create a ball of light, dispelling the darkness in the greenhouse.
The plants cultivated in Greenhouse No. 3 are all dangerous, and Albert does not dare to be careless at all. He carefully avoided the dangerous plants in Greenhouse No. 3 and walked to the flowerpot shelf placed in the corner.
Albert is very familiar with these things. There is no other way. Who asked him to repot the mandrake in the morning? He waved his wand again and cast a spell on the flower pot, causing it to float up and follow him.
Before leaving, Albert also took away the brown earmuffs placed in the box next to him.
As for why you need earmuffs?
Albert thought that thing might come in handy.
After returning the same way and entering the secret passage, Albert took off the boot covers on his boots and used the disappearing spell to completely destroy the body and eliminate traces.
Before walking out of the narrow secret passage, Albert glanced at the time on his pocket watch. There was still some time before the scheduled period.
"This thing will be placed in the Room of Requirement for the time being. After the mission is completed, it will be returned in two days." When Albert thought this way, a crazy idea suddenly came to his mind.
Yeah, it’s crazy.
Albert also clearly felt that he should obey this impulse.
However, he decided to put this crazy action into action.
So, Albert walked towards Snape's office, and the pot of mandrake kept floating behind him.
Snape's office is underground. Albert has never been there, but it is not difficult to find the location of Snape's office through the Marauder's Map.
A few minutes later, Albert was standing in front of Snape's office.
The door creaked and was pushed open by Albert. He carefully walked in and his eyes fell on the door of the private warehouse. Albert didn't rush to find the needed potion ingredients, but gently closed the door, took out the earmuffs from the pocket of his cloak and put them on himself. After doing this, he cautiously walked towards Snape's bedroom.
Then... Albert made a surprising move. He actually pulled the mandrake out of the pot. The next moment, terrible cries filled the whole room.
Snape, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by the cry of Mandrake, and then was knocked unconscious by the cry without warning.
When Albert stuffed the mandrake into the basin, he looked at Snape who had completely passed out and muttered in a low voice: "It's really exciting. When Snape wakes up tomorrow, he will probably think that he did something." nightmare."
He took out his wand and waved it lightly, and the soil that fell on the ground flew back and covered the mandrake again.
Before Albert walked out of the room, he walked to Snape's bed and carefully pulled the sheets back up. Then he walked out of the room, came to the private warehouse, and used the wire to unlock the door.
Sure enough, the alarm sounded.
Snape cast a protective spell on his private warehouse. Once someone breaks in without breaking the spell, the alarm will be triggered, and Snape will know it immediately.
It's a pity that it's useless to ring the alarm, because Snape has passed out now and may not wake up until tomorrow morning. It is impossible to know what just happened.
Albert used the Flying Charm and easily found the Niven snake eggs, African tree snake skin fragments and bicorn horns stored by Snape. As for the dragon claw powder, Albert didn't take it. It can be bought in the drugstore, but it's very expensive, but it doesn't matter, he has galleons.
Snape will definitely find out that someone is stealing the medicinal materials before long, so Albert is also preparing to mislead Snape into thinking that he is preparing to make a compound potion.
Before leaving, Albert glanced at the Marauder's Map. Mandrake's cry had indeed caused a commotion, but he still had plenty of time, because from knocking out Snape to opening the private warehouse, to It only took less than a minute to take away the three medicinal materials, and no one else had time to react.
Putting the materials in the conjured box, Albert left Snape's office. Before leaving, he also locked the door of the private warehouse and the office door again.
How to say it in that sentence: Quietly I left, just as quietly as I came; I waved my sleeves and took away the eggs of the Niven snake, the skin fragments of the African tree snake and the horn of the bicorn.
It is truly a blessing elixir, and the lucky elixir is truly worthy of its name.
Albert was walking in the underground passage, glancing at the Marauder's Map from time to time. Filch had already woken up and was about to come over to figure out the source of the sound.
It seems that the two doors still have some sound insulation effect.
The two sides almost passed by each other, and it was impossible for Filch to discover Albert under the Disguise Curse.
Before anyone else could react, Albert had already reached the eighth floor, put the herbs and the pot of mandrake into the Room of Requirement, and then returned to the Gryffindor common room.
The Fat Lady is not here, but this is good news for Albert.
Soon after, the time agreed upon by both parties arrived, and Fred opened the entrance to the common room on time and let Albert in.
As for the castle that has fallen into complete chaos behind him, it has nothing to do with Albert.
