Chapter 396 The big scarf being targeted
“Do you think Professor Quirrell looks at us a little strangely?”
Halfway to the hall, Fred, George and Lee Jordan talked about what had just happened.
“If it were me, it would definitely be the same.”
Lee Jordan, who was walking side by side with the Weasley brothers, couldn't help but complain,
"Why?"
"Why? Ever since you sold the Garlic Cross Amulet to Professor Quirrell, he has been looking at you strangely." Lee Jordan put his hands on his face and reminded him aloud. At first, he did not approve of the twins going to Professor Quirrell to sell the amulet.
"But…"
"It's nothing. What would you think if someone teased you in front of you?" Lee Jordan immediately interrupted. The twins may not mean that, but it doesn't mean that Professor Quirrell won't have such thoughts.
“But... doesn’t Professor Quirrell need to get rid of vampires?
Fred was very puzzled. He remembered Albert as...well, what about that guy? He turned around and looked around, but didn't see Albert, so he asked, "Where is the Albert man?"
"You just discovered it. He disappeared inexplicably just now." George looked like you just discovered it now. They have encountered this situation many times. Anyway, Albert will definitely show up again later.
“Have you noticed that the strange smell on Professor Quirrell’s body is getting stronger!”
"Of course I noticed it!" Fred raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Last time, Peeves didn't succeed. It's such a pity."
“That guy took so much of our stuff and this is what happened?”
Speaking of Peeves, Lee Jordan was very dissatisfied. The guy took a lot of dung bombs and stink bombs from them, but he failed to accomplish this.
"Peeves said Professor Quirrell was on guard and could not succeed," said George.
“Are you going to give up?”
Everyone is curious, is Professor Quirrell's scarf stuffed with garlic or a garlic cross?
"It's better to give up. Everyone has secrets they don't want others to know." Albert didn't know when he reappeared.
“Where have you been?” Lee Jordan asked.
“What were you talking about just now?” Albert deliberately changed the subject.
"What do you think is in Professor Quirrell's big scarf?" Fred knew that Albert wouldn't tell, so he stopped asking and just told Albert about Peeves' failure.
"I already know. I heard that Quirrell cast a spell on his big scarf so that it would not be pulled off." Albert told the news he had learned.
"You will know?" The three of them were surprised. They didn't expect that Quirrell would actually use this trick, which ruined their original fishhook plan.
“I don’t know if what others say is true or false.”
“How about we let Peeves try it again?” Lee Jordan suggested. He was still bitter about Peeves' failure, and it was not okay to take that thing and mess it up.
Albert's face twitched slightly, and he admired the three people's ability to seek death. You know, once Voldemort parasitizing the back of Quirrell's head is exposed, you don't know what will happen!
"How many days are you going to be detained for?" Albert asked, "If you are ready, I can try to make you a fishhook that can break the curse."
"this…"
“You can let Peeves…”
Before Li Jordan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Albert raising his hand.
"Peeves won't listen to you unless you give him something else."
“Then forget it.”
The three of them are not as wealthy as Albert.
"The treasure last time seemed to have been dug out." Albert immediately changed the subject, "Did someone secretly release the water and tell them the location of the treasure?"
Three people unanimously stated that they did not tell anyone else the location of the treasure.
However, Harry’s treasure map is only one of the treasure maps created by Albert. However, these treasure maps all need to be deciphered to find the location of the treasure. According to Fred, George and Lee Jordan, Albert did not intend to make the treasure hunt enjoyable at all.
I didn’t expect Harry to be able to solve the mystery. It’s quite impressive. Speaking of which, have any of you seen his treasure map?
As expected, several people were quietly changed the topic.
"Well, it seems to be the treasure cache near Hagrid's pumpkin patch. The treasure seems to be...the garlic-flavored cross." Lee Jordan said uncertainly.
"Go over and ask, don't you know everything?" Fred pursed his lips in a certain direction, and the three of them looked up and saw Harry and Ron eating there.
"I heard that you got a treasure map last time. How was it? Did you find the treasure?" Fred came to Harry and put his hand on Ron's shoulder.
"Found it. Unfortunately, the treasure inside is very strange." Ron knocked off Fred's hand on his shoulder and couldn't help complaining: "I found a bottle with a strong smell and a strange vampire amulet inside. Later, Harry gave that thing to Professor Quirrell."
“No wonder!” The four of them looked at each other and said in unison.
“What’s the wonder?”
"Nothing?" Fred said casually: "You have to be careful not to run into the Forbidden Forest. Last time, we also got one, but ended up running into the Forbidden Forest and almost couldn't come back."
"Who are you bluffing?" Ron curled his lips, not believing the two people's lies at all.
“Do you know who ALFG is?” Harry suddenly asked. .
“ALFG?” George changed the subject: “You mean Flag?”
"No, it's ALFG." Harry gave George his treasure map, but Hagrid didn't eat it in the end.
“Ours is unsigned!” George reminded.
"This can't be... a trick you did, right?" Ron looked up and down at the people in front of him, feeling very suspicious. These guys really looked like people who would do such a thing.
"We don't have that ability." Fred pretended to be looking at a map.
Of course, they didn’t lie.
After all, it was Albert who drew the treasure map, and it really had nothing to do with them.
“Is there any show for Halloween this year?” Albert asked a casual question when everyone sat down to eat.
“I remember it was a choir last year!”
“This year it’s pantomime,” said George. "I heard that Percy will also perform and play the wind instruments."
“It’s really hard work as a prefect!”
"Mime has been banned by the school a long time ago." Albert interrupted, "It is said that a long time ago, the wizard's fairy tale "The Fountain of Good Luck" was adapted and staged at Hogwarts. As a result, the pantomime caused a fire. Hogwarts banned pantomime performances altogether.
“This year’s Halloween is a circus show!” Wood came over and said to several people: “Remember Mario, Danny, and Jack.”
“A trio of acrobats?” Albert asked tentatively.
"Yes, it's them. Those three guys really established a circus after graduation. It is said that they are about to start a tour and prepare to use Hogwarts as the starting point for traveling around the world."
“I didn’t expect them to actually set up a miniature circus!” Fred and George were both surprised. It was not easy to form their own team.
Miniature circus?
That’s right, it actually refers to the wizards performing on the street. Mario, Danny, and Jack do not have enough funds to support the initial investment of the circus, so they can only slowly accumulate galleons.
