Chapter 768 The Boggart in the Box
“Who sent you a prank package again?”
Why do you say again?
This is not the first time Albert has encountered this situation.
Lee Jordan looked at the trembling package in front of him with interest, wondering what was inside the package.
“Would you like to take it apart and see what’s inside?” Fred suddenly became interested.
“Mrs. Pince is over there.” George frowned and reminded, “Do you really want to be kicked out of the library?”
“Didn’t you say that there is still a letter?” Albert asked Kenneth.
“Yes, there is another letter, here it is.” Kenneth handed the envelope to Albert across the table.
“Wait a moment, let me read the contents of the letter first.”
Albert took the letter, turned it over and looked at the sender's name, then stood up and walked to a remote corner near the window.
The sender turned out to be: Mundungus Fletcher.
Mondungus?
Albert was a little surprised as to why the thief suddenly sent him a package. He probably hadn't purchased anything from him recently.
“Could it be that...”
Albert thought for a moment and guessed a possibility.
Mundungus Fletcher had gotten the Boggart for him and had it shipped directly to him via parcel post.
However, this possibility should not be high.
After all, Albert has not yet paid the other party Galleons. He does not believe that a cunning person like Mundungus Fletcher is willing to do business at a loss.
Albert opened the envelope and looked at the contents of the letter. His expression became very strange. He really guessed that there was indeed a Boggart in the package.
Albert found that he had underestimated Mundungus's cunning. This guy actually sent him something before he paid.
This is clearly a forced purchase and a forced sale, and the asking price is fifty galleons.
Speaking of which, he wasn't worried about Albert finding an excuse to just waste the galleons?
For example, I only received a letter but not a package.
In other words, the package was detained by the school.
Perhaps, in the eyes of Mundungus, it was just a Boggart that no one wanted. Even if Albert defaulted on the loan, there would be no loss.
What Albert didn’t know was that the Boggart sent to him was actually found by Mundungus Fletcher in a cabinet at home.
So, even if Albert doesn’t pay, he has nothing to lose. Moreover, Mundungus did not think that Albert would deliberately default on his debt.
Albert really didn’t intend to default on the bill, but he also didn’t intend to pay according to Mundungus’s price.
Fifty galleons?
Is this treating him like a fat sheep?
Anyway, Albert only planned to pay 10 Galleons.
I will give you money next time I go to Hogsmeade Village.
If Mundungus is not willing to accept the price, he can directly return it. As for the Boggart, Albert plans to use it first, since he will not suffer any loss anyway.
A weak flame suddenly ignited on the letter paper, and in the blink of an eye, the envelope and letter paper were burned into a pile of ashes, which floated into the distance with a gust of breeze.
Albert looked away from the window, turned his head again and said to the people over there: "Don't open that package here."
However, it seems that it is already too late.
I don’t know who opened the package. Inside the package was a small wooden box with a small lock on it. It seemed to trap the scary monster in the wooden box, but Fred had already used the lock-picking spell to open the small lock.
As soon as the lock was opened, the wooden box lid was suddenly knocked open with a strong force, and a loud explosion sounded in the library.
Then, Albert saw himself suddenly appearing on the long table, startling everyone nearby.
I don’t know if I didn’t react, or if I wanted to hear what the Boggart-turned-Albert would say, the library suddenly became eerily quiet, as if he had stopped breathing.
“I’m sorry, I’ve been lying to you.”
Albert, who was standing on the table, bent down in a weird way and looked down at the astonished Fred, "I never planned to make fun of the store with you, and I don't have so many galleons to waste on that kind of boring thing." On matters…”
Everyone stared at this scene in stunned silence, feeling both weird and interesting.
The whispers around him gradually increased, and some people with ill intentions began to speculate whether it was o. w． The pressure of the LS exam was so great that it drove the geniuses at Hogwarts crazy.
Some students moved back and forth between the two Alberts with shocked eyes. They had no idea what was going on.
Why are there two Alberts?
Albert, who was standing on the table, was still launching a verbal attack on Fred, and his head kept moving towards Fred. When Fred was forced to collapse from his chair, Albert on the table didn't know it. Whether his center of gravity was unstable or he stepped on the wrong foot, he fell off the table.
This funny scene once again stunned everyone.
Ron was startled by the sound of Albert falling off the table. Just as he was about to lend a hand, he heard a popping sound next to his ears.
In everyone's shocked eyes, Albert turned into a huge spider. This spider monster was six feet tall and covered with hair. It scared everyone around him and backed away in horror.
Even Harry, who has always been known for his bravery, was stunned into silence, and Hermione almost tripped over a chair when she backed away.
However, the most frightened person was Ron, who was looked down upon by the big spider. His face was pale and he looked like he might faint at any moment.
Actually, it would be happier if you could faint directly.
The big spider had already rushed towards Ron, looking like it was attacking him.
"ah!"
Ron's screams echoed throughout the library.
The moment he was thrown to the table by the big spider, Ron almost went into shock.
But he didn't faint. He could only watch with horror as the big claws that made clicking sounds approached him, enduring the fear that he might be torn to pieces by the big spider at any time.
Screams sounded one after another, and the unsuspecting students were frightened by this scene.
When Mrs. Pince hurried over, she happened to see the big spider attacking Ron, and was frightened. When she pulled out her wand and prepared to save the student from the big spider's mouth, someone was already there. The action is faster.
“Hey, this way.”
Albert was the first to throw the book at the big spider, successfully attracting the big spider's attention and at the same time came to it.
The next second, the big spider disappeared in full view, replaced by a book floating in the air.
“Funny!”
The "Harry Potter" book ate itself, and was then put back into the wooden box by Albert.
The crisis was resolved in this way.
No one was harmed.
Everyone is a little confused and doesn’t understand what is going on now.
However, they quickly came to their senses, especially when they heard Albert's funny words, they realized that Albert and the big spider were actually Boggarts?
“Sorry, someone mailed me a boggart, and the package was opened.”
Albert grabbed the wooden box that was still shaking slightly and hurriedly left the library before Mrs. Pince got angry at him.
After Mrs. Pince came to her senses, her wrinkled face was distorted with anger. She screamed angrily: "What the **** are you doing!"
Fred, George and Lee Jordan all looked away, pretending to be innocent.
“Disturbing the order of the library, get out, get out, get out!”
Mrs. Pince raised her wand and let everyone's backpacks, textbooks and inkwells hit their heads violently, and drove everyone out of the library.
It's no use even pretending to be innocent.
"Damn it...Albert actually ran away without even reminding him."
Everyone covered the back of their heads with their hands and hurried out of the library. Those things were still chasing their heads.
“Who asked you to open the package?” George complained.
“Aren’t you curious yourself?” Fred and George almost got into a fight.
“Speaking of which, what you’re afraid of is really interesting.” Kenneth Toller thought that what Fred was afraid of was interesting, but he didn’t expect that the Boggart would turn into Albert.
“Shut up, it’s your fault for bringing that package to the library.”
The three of them glared at Kenneth Toller as if it was all his fault.
"Who told you to open it yourself?" Kenneth was very unconvinced and glared back. It's a pity that he can't defeat three people by himself.
"Would you please take care of those annoying things behind your back first?" Angelina couldn't help complaining. They were suffering from unreasonable disasters.
When a few people passed the corner, they saw Albert holding a wooden box and raising a wand. All the things that were chasing them stopped and slowly fell to the ground.
“Speaking of which, who did you offend? How could someone send you a Boggart?” Shanna asked while packing up the things on the floor.
After Kenneth left, Albert whispered: "I didn't offend anyone. I found someone to buy it."
“Looking for someone to buy it from?”
Everyone looked at Albert in stunned silence. They didn't expect that they could find someone to buy a Boggart. It had been a long time since they had lived.
"Yeah, I didn't expect the other party to send it directly. I haven't even paid the Galleons yet."
“What did you buy this for?”
"I plan to use it for training." Albert explained helplessly, "How to deal with Boggart. This happens to be a popular practice for the O.W.Ls exam, so I plan to use it as a practice for the next party. , and you can use it to train the Patronus Charm."
“Remember to keep it secret and don’t spread it.” Albert reminded
"knew."
Everyone nodded in unison, and they also understood how much Albert had paid for the Defense Association.
