Chapter 372 Almost
The news that there was a three-headed dog in the restricted corridor on the fourth floor quickly spread within a small area. More and more students sneaked into the restricted corridor. Filch had to spend more time patrolling nearby. To prevent other students from sneaking into the forbidden corridor.
Albert would occasionally hear the students gathered together whispering about the three-headed dog. Even some students in Gryffindor were proud to go to the restricted corridor for a walk.
Of course, most of the students who were prepared to commit suicide failed at the hands of Filch. The administrator had stepped up patrols more than once. Anyone who rushed there would be driven away or arrested. Filch arrested him and took him to his office.
Albert was in no rush to complete the "Game of the Brave" mission, which required passing a series of levels to protect the Philosopher's Stone.
So is the Mirror of Erised prepared by Dumbledore also part of the level?
Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if you broke through, only to find that the Mirror of Erised hadn’t been put up yet and you couldn’t find the Philosopher’s Stone?
Moreover, the restricted area corridor is attracting attention now, so it is not the time to go to that place yet.
Albert stuffed the remaining unfinished homework into his schoolbag and prepared to go to the Room of Requirement to do his homework. At the same time, he took Tom out for a walk to avoid letting him sleep in the room all day. Come to Hogwarts He actually didn't lose weight after that, which really made Albert a little upset.
When Albert was getting ready to go out with his homework, he met Fred and George who had just returned from training at the entrance of the common room.
“Wood didn’t find the right player.”
The Weasley twins broke the bad news to Albert.
“Wood asked you to prepare. Remember to go and participate in the next training.”
“The first week of this month is not over yet!” Albert bent down and picked up Tom, turned to the twins and said, “And when have you ever seen me lose?”
“Is he too confident?” Fred looked at Albert’s back disappearing from the entrance to the common room and nudged George next to him with his elbow.
"Speaking of which, the seeker that Albert thinks is Harry. But, how can Harry join the team in the first grade?" George was also a little puzzled, "Don't forget, first grade Students are not allowed to bring brooms into school, and they are not allowed to join the Quidditch team."
Of course, it’s okay to be a substitute for the team, just like them.
Albert had no idea what Fred and George were talking about. He was staring at Tom running around in front of him. This guy had probably been locked up for a long time. As soon as he was released, he ran out of sight.
“Really, he likes to cause trouble for me.”
Albert waved his magic wand, and Tom, with four feet off the ground, flew towards this side, constantly making frightened meowing sounds.
When he fell into Albert's arms, Tom was already shivering and didn't dare to move. Flying was really not a friendly experience for a cat.
"What a timid guy!" Albert patted Tom's head comfortingly, put the cat on the ground again, and touched it with his feet. The timid guy just shrank there and refused to leave. In the end, it was Albert who I carried it into the room where everyone needed it.
Tom lay on the table for a long time, and finally managed to get out of the shadow of flight by the temptation of small dried fish.
"Your cat?"
When Isobel walked into the Room of Requirement, she immediately saw Tom playing with a ball of yarn on the ground. She bent down to look at the fat cat and asked curiously.
“It’s called Tom.”
“Hello Tom!” Isobel greeted Tom. She could tell that the cat was wary of her, so she had no idea of reaching out to pet the cat, even though she really wanted to do so.
"How was this week?" Albert put away his quill, looked up at the girl sitting in front of him, and asked with a smile.
"I'm very busy. I'm starting to prepare for the O.W.Ls exam. I hope to get good results." Isobel looked at Albert, who was a little lazy, and said gently: "What about you?"
"It's also very busy. I'm busy with classes every day, or on the way to class. I really don't know how other people spent three years in such busy study." Albert called Tom over and bent down. Pick up the cat and place it on the table.
“If you are all busy, what should others do!” Isobel didn’t believe Albert’s words. She knew the other person’s abilities very well and it was difficult to stump him in terms of learning.
“I don’t know, I remember Percy also selected them all.” Albert talked about this and said to Isobel with a smile: “You are now a prefect of Ravenclaw, congratulations!”
"Yeah." Isobel actually didn't care too much about this, and nodded slightly: "Prefects have some privileges, which feels pretty good."
Albert asked. He only knew that there was a separate luxury bathroom, but he didn't know much about the rest.
“There is a very luxurious bathroom…”
"Bathroom? This is fine too. If necessary, the Room of Requirement can also be turned into a very luxurious bathroom." Albert shook his head and interrupted.
"That's true." Isobel didn't care that Albert interrupted her, and said with a smile, "I was originally going to tell you the location."
“The door next to the statue of Boris the Fool?” Albert recalled. “I think the password was: “Fresh pineapple.” ""
“You actually know this too, I guess you’ve already been there!”
"I haven't been there yet, I just know some secrets. I know more about Hogwarts Castle than you do." Albert actually had no interest in these things.
"I believe this. I heard that your two red-haired friends know as much secret passages as Filch." Isobel also heard about this.
“But, is the prefect’s bathroom really luxurious?” Albert suddenly said, “When are we going to go together?”
“Let’s go together? You mean the prefect’s bathroom?”
"Um."
Albert didn’t look into Isobel’s eyes, lest anything be seen.
"If you want to...it's not impossible." Isobel said nonchalantly.
Of course, this means that for the two of them, teasing them a little too much is nothing.
"When are we going together? I can't wait." Albert tried his best to put on a lustful expression, which made Isobel giggle.
After a moment, Isobel regained the smile on her face and changed the subject: "Katrina is not having a good life. She is too tight. When you have time, please help her, okay?"
“That’s your sister.”
"She is very stubborn in some aspects." Isobel sighed helplessly, "Actually, this is a problem encountered when choosing all courses, and generally needs to be overcome by oneself."
“Have you encountered this too?”
"It took me two weeks to adapt. But having said that, you were not affected at all." Isobel didn't see fatigue from Albert. Using a time turner to go to class sometimes makes people very tired. , this is also what makes Isobel sigh.
“Because I’m a genius!” Albert said shamelessly.
"Yes, yes." Isobel said perfunctorily, but she did not deny it. Her eyes fell on Tom next to her, and she couldn't help but ask, "Can I touch it?"
"Of course. However, Tom is not very friendly to strangers." Albert said, taking out a pack of dried fish from his coat pocket, "Just try to feed Tom something to eat and play with him." Relationship, it will let you touch it.”
As soon as he tore open the packaging bag, Tom rushed over to him. Even though his head was gently pushed to the side by Albert, the guy still tried his best to move his head this way.
Isobel next to me looked at this scene and smiled happily.
She reached out to take the dried fish that Albert handed over, handed it to Tom, and said to Albert: "I also wanted to keep a cat before, but the situation at home did not allow it. Your cat won't eat strangers. Human food?”
“I used to teach it not to eat randomly.”
As he spoke, Albert stretched out his hand to hold Isobel's hand and stretched the dried fish in front of Tom. This time, the fat cat cautiously approached it. After eating the small dried fish, he also licked Isobel. hand.
"So cute!"
Isobel reached out to touch her, but Tom dodged it.
"Contact it a few more times, and it won't reject you anymore." Albert looked at Isobel and leaned his head towards me. When their faces were about to touch, there was a sound of the door being opened next to him. It startled them.
Albert turned his head to look at the person coming in resentfully. In fact, he knew who was coming even without guessing.
