Chapter 945: People who eat melons
“Hey, what are you three sneaking up on?”
Hagrid, who had just come out of the hunting lodge and was leading Harry, Hermione and Ron into the forest, noticed Fred, George and Lee Jordan walking towards the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest not far away and yelled at the three of them. .
"We are not sneaky, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see us at all." Fred corrected loudly as he looked at the four people and one dog walking this way.
As if to prove that he was not lying, Fred took out the wand from his belt, cast a spell on himself, and disappeared directly in front of everyone.
"you…"
Hagrid was almost choked to death by the three of them.
“The Illusion Curse?”
Hermione looked at the place where Fred disappeared and raised her eyebrows.
“Yes.” Fred reappeared.
"This spell is very suitable for night walks. As long as you don't meet the professor, there will be no problem." George said with a smile, "Filch doesn't understand magic and can't see through the Disillusionment Curse. It doesn't matter even if you walk around him."
“Want to learn?”
"you."
Hermione glared at the trio of good roommates.
“Ahem, what are you doing in the forest?” Hagrid asked. He would not let three dangerous people enter the Forbidden Forest.
“Of course I’m going to watch the game.” Lee Jordan said matter-of-factly
"This is a rare opportunity. Come on, too." Fred put the wand back into its holster.
"This is a good thing, where did you buy it?" Ron asked, staring at the wand holster on Fred's waist.
"I don't know. The birthday gift Albert gave me a while ago seems pretty good. If you want to buy it, you can ask him yourself." Fred's tone changed and he added, "However, I don't think you will buy it."
To Ron, this sounded like a blunt statement: You don’t have the money to buy it.
"Watching the battle? What do you mean." Hermione brought the topic back.
“Albert is dueling with Professor Flitwick.”
“Why did Albert want to duel with Professor Flitwick?” Hermione asked quickly.
Harry and Ron exchanged glances, both curious as to why.
“Hush!”
George made a silence gesture, lowered his voice and explained: "Albert has been learning wizard fighting skills from Professor Flitwick a while ago. Today seems to be the last class, and they plan to fight in the Forbidden Forest. field to test the results of this period.”
"By the way, you'd better ride a broomstick, otherwise if you approach from the ground, be careful of being affected by the battle." George reminded.
"Albert learned fighting skills from Professor Flitwick?" Harry was very surprised.
“Yeah, it’s very powerful, but it’s a pity that we can’t learn it.”
“Where are your broomsticks?” Ron asked doubtfully. He didn’t see the three of them holding broomsticks.
“You’ll find out later.”
“Okay, let’s go quickly, lest we can’t find their duel location later.”
"We have to find Sirius and Professor Lupin first. If they agree, we can go together." Harry was also curious about how powerful Albert was.
A group of people hurriedly entered the Forbidden Forest and arrived at the camp where Harry had previously trained. Sirius and Lupine had already arrived early, and they didn't know what they were whispering.
After Sirius heard that Albert and Professor Flitwick planned to duel, he was also very interested in it and planned to take everyone to watch.
“Do you know the specific location?” Lupine asked.
“I don’t know, Albert didn’t say anything.” Lee Jordan shook his head.
“That guy definitely didn’t intend for us to easily find the location of their duel.” Fred took out a simple bag and took out a broomstick from it.
“The Traceless Stretching Spell?”
“Yes, it’s a very practical gadget made by Albert.” Fred had already stepped on the broom and was ready to take off.
“I remember it was illegal to abuse the Stretch Charm,” Hermione muttered.
"Come on Hermione, as long as the Ministry of Magic doesn't know, it's not a crime." George smiled and stepped on his broom to leave.
“What if I get caught?”
"We'll say we bought it from the black market." Lee Jordan also climbed on the broomstick.
“Why do you have this thing?” Ron asked rather resentfully.
"Christmas gift."
The three of them looked at each other and shrugged.
“Hermione, do you have one?” Ron looked at Hermione.
“How is that possible?” Hermione shook her head.
"If you want, I'll tell him about it for you. It'll only take a while anyway." George noticed Hermione's expression and explained to her, "That guy gives out a bunch of gifts every year, so he's particularly bothered by it. When someone chooses a gift, telling them directly can save them some trouble."
As good roommates, the three of them are all aware of Albert’s templated gift-giving pattern.
Hermione's gifts most likely consist of a quill, a notebook, or a snack.
"It seems that Anderson is very accomplished in the Invisible Stretching Spell." Lupine was very surprised at Albert's true level.
"It's very impressive." Hermione said in admiration. "Albert used the Invisible Stretching Charm to get himself a movable wizard card club activity room. It has a spacious activity space like an auditorium. Its body is a This book.”
“That thing is really incredible.”
"We plan to leave it in the school as a souvenir, just like you once left the Marauder's Map." All three people flew into the air on their broomsticks: "Then let's go first, see you later."
“Wait, you don’t mind taking us with you!”
"Our broomstick can't carry that many people." Fred shook his head.
"Just add my Firebolt." Harry pulled out his wand and used the Flying Charm to summon the Firebolt. "This way we have four broomsticks and can bring eight people with us."
"snort!"
Hagrid snorted in dissatisfaction and glared at the group of people who excluded him.
Even though he couldn't sit on a broomstick due to his size, he was still very unhappy.
Harry's Firebolt flew over quickly.
Each person took one and flew into the air one after another.
“Sirius, Lupin, take good care of Harry and the others.”
Hagrid waved to everyone, and after they left, he depressedly returned to the hunting lodge with his hounds.
“Why not use the tracking spell?”
Lu Ping asked in confusion as he looked at some of the people who were being blinded.
"It's useless. Albert will use a shielding spell to prevent himself from being tracked, so even if he uses a tracking spell, he will definitely not be found." Fred explained helplessly, "His shielding spell can't even see the Marauder's Map. It can be blocked.”
"Then follow Professor Flitwick?" Hermione suddenly didn't know how to evaluate this group of people.
The scene fell into an eerie silence.
Professor Lupine tried the tracking spell again, and finally found the approximate location. However, the location seemed not to be in the Forbidden Forest, but in the wilderness near Hogwarts.
A group of people chased each other on broomsticks, and then...
"I knew it would be like this." Fred looked at the wilderness ahead and muttered, "I got teased by that guy again."
“He didn’t say he was in the Forbidden Forest.”
George also realized that all three of them had been misled by Albert.
Especially since they had been flying for a long time but could not find the location of the duel between Albert and Professor Flitwick, they were even more sure that they and the others had been tricked.
