Chapter 589 Sharp Weapon
Christmas is approaching, and Hogwarts Castle is filled with Christmas atmosphere.
Everyone's mood has become very exciting. Christmas means vacation, and there is probably nothing more joyful for students than a vacation.
No matter where you go, you can always hear people discussing their vacation plans loudly.
When she learned that Albert planned to go to Italy for Christmas vacation this year, Shanna's face was full of envy and jealousy. Her family background was actually pretty good, but her parents were unable to spare time to spend time with her because of their busy work schedules. She travels abroad.
"Italy?"
George sat down on the empty seat on Albert's right side with a plate of food, and asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say you were going to France to attend a friend's wedding during the Christmas vacation? How did it turn into a vacation in Italy?"
"Many friends over in France have gone, so I will go with them." Albert scooped up a big mouthful of pumpkin porridge, blew a few breaths and stuffed it into his mouth. The weather has been getting colder and colder recently, but he still I like to have some hot food in the morning to warm my stomach.
George raised his eyebrows slightly and quickly made a decision, "I'm afraid we have to give you this year's Christmas gift in advance."
Otherwise, once Albert goes abroad, God knows whether the owl will deliver gifts to him on Christmas Day.
“Are they dating?” Lee Jordan noticed Fred talking to Angelina not far away and asked softly.
"No." George glanced at Lee Jordan and said mysteriously: "They were talking about what they just overheard."
“What’s the matter?” Li Qiaodan asked immediately.
"When we came to the hall to eat, we heard Snape telling Professor McGonagall that someone broke into his office and stole the potion ingredients." George winked at Albert, "There is no doubt that it should be someone. A student wants to make a forbidden potion. However, being able to steal Snape's private storage room is really impressive."
As far as they knew, Albert had broken into Snape's personal storage room before, and George obviously thought Albert had done it this time.
Hearing what George said, Albert couldn't help but look sideways at Harry, Ron and Hermione who were engrossed in eating not far away.
"Who knows!" Albert looked away again, "Maybe it was the heir of Slytherin who did something good!"
Albert will definitely not take the blame for this, and it is just right to put it on the head of the Slytherin heir. Who else would do such a thing besides the Slytherin heir?
"By the way, have you heard of a rumor?" Lee Jordan lowered his voice and said to the three of them: "I heard that the professors secretly searched Hogwarts Castle, but still couldn't find Slytherin's secret room. , but somehow there are rumors that Hagrid is the culprit who opened the Chamber of Secrets last time, and that he is the heir of Slytherin."
“Who said that?” Albert asked.
“Lockhart.”
“Is Lockhart blind?” George was speechless.
"Hagrid doesn't look like the heir of Slytherin." Although Zannah didn't know Hagrid, she didn't think he would be the heir of Slytherin. Otherwise, why would Dumbledore let him stay in the school as a hunting ground guard? The principal is not an idiot.
Lee Jordan looked around and said in a voice that only a few people could hear: "They said that Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts because of this incident."
Although Lee Jordan did not think that Hagrid would be the so-called heir of Slytherin, he felt that he should still tell Albert about this matter. He knew that Albert and Hagrid had a good relationship.
After noticing Lee Jordan's gaze, Albert said calmly: "I have known about this for a long time. Hagrid told me himself."
Lee Jordan opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.
"This matter always needs to be resolved. Someone has to take the blame, and Hagrid is just unfortunate to be that person." Albert took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Look at his appearance, how does he look like Slater?" Lin’s heir.”
After breakfast, Albert separated from his friends, put on a thick cloak, and headed to Hagrid's hunting lodge alone.
However, as soon as he left the foyer, Albert found that he was in trouble. The original gravel path was covered with thick snow, and he had to pull out his wand to clear a path for himself.
This was not easy. It took more than ten minutes to finally reach Hagrid's hunting cabin.
Albert stretched out his hand and knocked on the wooden door. It took a long time for footsteps to be heard in the room. Hagrid, who was wearing a mink coat, opened the wooden door and looked at Albert who appeared at the door in surprise.
“What, you’re not welcome?” Albert asked with a smile.
“Why are you here?” Hagrid stepped back and let Albert enter the room.
There was a blazing flame burning in the fireplace of the cabin, but there was still a chill in the room. Albert breathed a sigh of relief, and a white mist actually formed in front of him.
"It will warm up in a while. I just came back from the owl loft."
Hagrid pointed to the birdcage next to the fireplace. The owls inside looked very tired. They had obviously exhausted their energy by delivering mail in the windy and snowy weather.
“They need extra care.”
Hagrid added some more wood to the fireplace to make the stove burn more vigorously. Fang had already climbed up from the blanket and leaned his head on Albert's body.
The biting cold wind made the window glass rattle. Hagrid added some water to the owl cage and put some food in it.
“How are you preparing for your class?” Albert asked casually.
"this…"
Hagrid was embarrassed to say that he didn't ask Professor Kettlebo for advice. After all, Professor Kettlebo's physical condition had gotten worse since he entered the hospital. He didn't bother him anymore. After all, he still had to rely on himself for teaching, and Hagrid already has a good teaching idea.
"I've already read the "Monster Book of Monsters". The content in it is okay, but the book may not be popular." Albert said after thinking about the words.
“Unpopular?” Hagrid’s face showed confusion and confusion, “Why, I think this book is quite interesting.”
Albert was immediately speechless.
What does it mean to have fun?
"Because that book bites people, and it hurts when bitten." Albert said directly: "My suggestion is to take out the contents of the previous examinations and teach them to everyone."
"oh."
Hagrid seemed disappointed.
Originally, he planned to show off his skills in the Care of Magical Creatures class, but was struck by Albert before he even started.
“By the way, I’m here to ask you to do me a favor.”
Albert looked at the disappointed Hagrid, quickly changed the subject, took out the detection ball from his pocket and placed it in front of Hagrid.
“What is this?” Hagrid reached out and picked up the detection ball and looked at it carefully and asked.
“Do you know about the looking glass?”
"Know."
"The principle of the detection ball is similar to that of a looking glass. Once there are dark creatures around, the detection ball will react." Albert explained: "Of course, the reminder method is more subtle. When you feel it start to heat up, , it means there are dark creatures around."
I am ashamed to say that the detection ball is not a finished product developed by Albert alone. Nico Lemay provided Albert with a lot of help, otherwise he really would not be able to turn the detection ball into a panel skill in a short time. .
"Is this for the monster in the castle?" Hagrid has already realized the purpose of this thing. If the effect is really as Albert said, then this is definitely a weapon for searching for the monster in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
"Yes, if the detection ball works, I won't have to worry about being attacked by monsters in the secret room." Albert nodded, "However, it is still in the testing stage. If you can help me catch a dark creature, It would be better to test the specific detection range of the detected ball.”
Kenneth got a Grindylow last time, but the guy threw it into the black lake after using it. Otherwise, Albert wouldn't have to go to Hagrid for help.
"Dark creature?" Hagrid scratched his head, "I'll try my best. It's not easy to catch an ordinary dark creature in this kind of weather."
“Then it’s up to you.”
“By the way, can this thing find the monster in the secret room?” Hagrid suddenly asked. He actually wanted to find the monster with his own hands.
"I'm afraid not. If you want to find the monster in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, I'm afraid you need to find Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets first." Albert reminded, "If the Chamber of Secrets were that easy to find, I'm afraid it would have been found fifty years ago. ”
“If you really discover something, remember to inform other professors first and don’t act rashly on your own.” Hagrid warned. He felt that with Albert’s ability, he might actually be able to find some clues.
"I see."
