Chapter 915 Beloved Baby
“Does this really make sense?”
In the prefect’s bathroom, Lee Jordan, who was sitting by the bathtub, held a pocket watch in his hand and asked Albert, who was immersed in the bathtub.
“I think it’s quite meaningful. By the way, don’t you really come down and take a bath for a while?” Fred said with a smile.
“Have you forgotten?” George held up a large amount of foam with both hands and placed it on Fred’s head. He glanced at Lee Jordan and said, “That guy can’t swim.”
“This is the bathroom, and we won’t drown.” Fred couldn’t help but complain.
"Ahem, I didn't expect Hogwarts to have such a good place." Lee Jordan coughed lightly and tried to change the subject, "And Fred, it's time for you to wash your hair, it's almost turning into a Nap."
“It’s just that you don’t know it.”
Fred got up from the bath and ran to the side to wash his hair.
“Then why don’t you come here to take a shower?” Lee Jordan asked.
“Albert didn’t use the prefect’s bathroom either?” George shrugged.
Although the prefect bathroom is indeed quite luxurious, it would still be quite embarrassing if you meet other people here.
The door of the prefect's bathroom is actually opened by a password, which means that as long as you know the password, you can come in and take a shower at any time. If a female prefect comes in to take a shower at this time, it will be great fun.
“How long have you been holding on?”
“It’s almost an hour.”
"It should be enough. The second project is just to retrieve the treasure within an hour. I think with your ability, you can complete the task in less than an hour."
The three of them never worried that Albert could not complete the task.
“Don’t be stupid. If you don’t know how long the head soaking spell can last, you might accidentally drown in the lake.”
Albert's voice came from under the thick foam. He was now testing how long the foaming spell could last.
Fortunately, he doesn’t have bad breath problems, otherwise he would really have to give up his plan to use the Bubble Charm.
"Didn't you also prepare underwater breathing agent?" George didn't understand Albert's thoughts, but he knew that Albert had also prepared a large bottle of underwater breathing agent, which is the essence extracted from gilly bladderwort. , is said to have appeared at the International Alchemy Congress not long ago.
"That's a preliminary plan. If possible, I plan to use the bubble head charm to complete the task."
“You are just idle and bored.”
Fred, George and Lee Jordan all looked speechless.
“We have to see which solution is more practical!” Albert said noncommittally.
He felt that Dumbledore should have safety measures to prevent the warrior from drowning, but Albert never liked to put his life safety in the hands of others, and underwater breathing agent was his first aid solution.
“I think insulation is a big problem. The temperature on February 24th will definitely not be high, let alone in the lake.” George helped Albert list the problems he might encounter one by one.
“How to complete the task within an hour is also a problem. Even if you are good at swimming, you will never be able to speed up after going deep into the Black Lake.” Lee Jordan added.
The Weasley twins both looked at Lee Jordan.
“What are you looking at? I’m not wrong.”
“We just feel that when these words come out of your mouth, they always feel unconvincing.” George couldn’t help complaining.
"I think the warriors are likely to be attacked. It's impossible for you to retrieve the treasures smoothly. You may have to fight the fishmen." Fred guessed, "So the wand is very important. If you lose the wand in the lake It’s really over.”
“Albert knows wandless magic.” Lee Jordan reminded him expressionlessly, “So even if you lose your wand, you can use the Flying Charm to find it again.”
Lee Jordan's words were quickly covered up by a scream. As the golden egg was thrown into the water, the original scream turned into a beautiful song.
“Are there any other questions?” Albert asked.
"Does getting lost count as being lost if you can't find the specific location of the baby? The Black Lake is still very big, and we don't know exactly what is going on at the bottom of the Black Lake." Fred and George looked at each other, both showing eagerness to try. expression.
"As for the temperature, we should be able to use spells to solve it." Albert thought for a moment and said, "The slow movement speed can also be solved with spells. I know how to move quickly underwater, and Muggles have similar methods."
"As for being attacked, this is very possible, but it can be solved by wearing something to repel dark creatures, and I don't think we will be attacked by fishmen." Albert thought for a moment and continued, "There shouldn't be anything in the lake. What a dangerous creature.”
“Big squid?”
"That thing is very docile." Albert said to himself, "It should be some Greenlody at most. I remember that murlocs seem to raise this kind of thing, just like humans raise cats and hounds, but I don't know how many they will have. How many. Of course, it’s not surprising that there is a horse-shaped water monster under the black lake.”
"I think you should go to the Black Lake and find out the situation below first." George suggested, "I dare say they will definitely hide the treasure in the fishman village. You can find out the specific location first. "
“It’s really uncomfortable to go into the water in this weather. I remember you don’t like the cold very much.” There was a hint of schadenfreude in Lee Jordan’s tone.
Albert suddenly stood up from the water, lifted the funny foam cover on his head, turned to ask Lee Jordan: "How long?"
Lee Jordan stretched and said, "About an hour and a quarter, that's plenty of time for the head soaking spell."
Albert took a big breath of fresh air and said after regaining his composure: "There's not enough time."
“Not quite enough?”
None of the three of them quite understood what this meant, so how could there not be enough time?
"Intense exercise requires a lot of oxygen consumption." Albert picked up the golden egg and put it on the towel. He picked up his pocket watch and looked at the time and said, "The oxygen will definitely not be able to last for that time. If it can last for an hour, it will be considered good. .”
“What is oxygen?” George suddenly asked.
At this moment, Albert suddenly wanted to reach out and cover his face.
Well, this is the wizarding world, and wizards don't understand science but they are very scientific.
After all, what kind of science does the magic world need? Wizards only talk about magic, not science.
"What's wrong?"
"nothing."
"I don't think you need an hour to complete the task," Fred repeated.
"It's not you who went into the water. What if you don't have enough time and get drowned?" Albert glanced at the three guys in front of him who were standing and talking, and said to the bottom of the bath: "Myrtle, you know the fishman's Where is the village?"
Myrtle with glasses suddenly emerged from under the pool, startling the other three.
“There’s a ghost!”
Fred screamed loudly, Lee Jordan was frightened and fell into the pool, and George was giggling.
“What a rude fellow.”
Myrtle put her hands on her hips and glared angrily at the three people who were laughing and playing.
“Okay, stop making trouble.”
Albert stared at the three people fighting there, turned to look at the female ghost in front of him who was peeking at their bath, and asked: "Myrtle, have you been to the bottom of the lake?"
"I've been there, there's a village of fishmen there." Myrtle giggled and leaned towards Albert, "However, I don't like those fishmen very much. Every time I get close, they come to chase me... "
The three people over there were covering their mouths and laughing.
“Alright handsome guy.”
Myrtle chuckled, then dove into the water and disappeared.
"You are still as popular as ever, even the ghosts like you." The three of them finally couldn't help laughing after Myrtle left.
Albert said without hesitation: "The opportunity is rare, when the time comes, you should come together."
Fred and George looked at each other, nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, this is a rare opportunity."
"I'll forget it!" Lee Jordan refused decisively, "in case I need you to rescue me later, and there must be someone waiting above just in case."
“You can take gillyweed.” Fred said with a smile.
“This is a good opportunity for you to learn how to swim.” George reminded kindly.
Just when the Weasley brothers were persuading Lee Jordan to follow them to the bottom of the lake, the door of the prefect's bathroom creaked open.
The four of them looked in the direction of the entrance and saw several familiar figures walking in.
Harry, Hermione and Ron were obviously shocked when they realized that someone was taking a bath in the prefects' bathroom.
After all, they are not prefects and are not qualified to use this place.
"Sorry, we just...why is it you." Harry Potter was surprised to find that the people taking a bath in the prefects' bathroom were actually the Weasley brothers and their good friends Lee Jordan and Albert.
“Why can’t we be here?”
Hermione screamed and turned her head quickly.
"Don't worry Hermione, we are all still wearing swimming trunks." Albert said helplessly.
“Wear swimming trunks when taking a shower?” Ron said in a strange tone.
"Who said we were here to take a shower?" Fred looked at Ron with an expression on his face that this guy was really an idiot.
“Are you here to test the golden eggs?” George said with a smile, “How do you know the password for the prefect’s bathroom?”
"Sirius told us." Harry Potter said dryly: "Lupine was a prefect before, and he knows the password to open the prefect's bathroom."
"Sirius suggested that Harry use the Bubble Curse, which is said to make it easier to breathe underwater." After confirming that everyone was wearing swimming trunks, Hermione couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "So, we plan to come here. Let’s test it and find out what secrets are hidden in the golden eggs.”
"The Bubble Charm won't last too long. We just tested it." Lee Jordan picked up the pocket watch on the towel, waved it in front of the three of them and reminded, "Hour and quarter hour, this is Albert's Record."
"However, with Harry's ability, the time may have to be shortened by one section."
“You have figured out the secret of the golden egg.”
“Isn’t that nonsense?” Fred and George looked at Ron as if they were idiots, and sang with their arms around each other:
Seek us where our voices sound,
We cannot sing on the ground.
As you search, think carefully about:
We took away your most beloved treasure.
You only have one hour,
To find and regain the items we have taken,
After an hour all hope is gone,
It has completely disappeared and will never appear again.
It has completely disappeared and will never appear again…
After the Weasley twins finished singing, they were met with silence, but they were not embarrassed and applauded themselves vigorously.
"So, the second project is to go to the lake to find the mermaid, and then take back the warriors' beloved treasures?" Hermione carefully pondered the lyrics of this song and quickly helped Harry extract the key points of the song.
“Yes, that’s probably it.” Albert said noncommittally.
"Beloved treasure?" Harry was a little confused, and murmured after a moment: "Does beloved treasure refer to the Firebolt? If the Firebolt is soaked in water, I wonder if it will break."
Albert covered his mouth and burst into laughter, but...
"Hahaha!"
Fred, George and Lee Jordan laughed terribly.
"Any questions?"
Harry was confused for a moment. He didn't understand why the other party was smiling like this.
"Harry, is your beloved baby actually a Firebolt?" Fred asked.
“Is there something... wrong?” Ron was also confused.
“Your most beloved treasure must be Galleons.”
“Stop laughing, talk like a human being.” Harry was a little irritated. He felt like a fool who was being laughed at.
"You can ask Albert what his most beloved treasure is, and you will know what your treasure is?" Lee Jordan reminded kindly. He felt that Fred and George did it on purpose.
“Miss Isobel?”
Hermione reacted quickly and guessed the nature of the treasure in the song.
"Yes, the treasure should refer to people." Albert nodded and said, "So, the essence of the second level is to go to the lake to rescue people."
“But I... don’t have a girlfriend!”
Harry blushed and said that he thought of Cho Chang at the first moment, but Cho Chang was now Digory's girlfriend and could not become his treasure.
“In your words, it should be Weasley.” Albert raised his finger and pointed at Ron.
“Why me?” Ron was a little confused.
“Friendship is also a very precious thing.” Hermione explained for Albert.
“Why not Hermione?” Ron asked again.
"Because Hermione will probably become Krum's baby." Albert continued, "In my case, it will probably be the last three. I think it is not unacceptable to choose one of them."
“You just don’t want your girlfriend to take risks.”
The three of them rolled their eyes at Albert, and they immediately saw through each other's "sinister intentions."
“Why did Hermione become Krum’s baby?” Ron asked sharply.
Hermione's cheeks turned red all of a sudden, and she obviously wanted to know the basis for what Albert said.
"When the organizer can't find a suitable partner, finding Klum's Christmas dance partner is also a good choice. You and Klum have become good friends." Albert picked up the wand and pointed at himself , and then pointed at the other three people. Their bodies immediately became dry and warm, as if they had been dried in front of a roaring fire.
“Okay, you guys can test it slowly here, and we’ll leave first.” Albert got dressed, greeted the three of them, and was ready to leave.
