Study Days at Hogwarts

At this moment, there was silence in the dormitory.

Li Qiaodan had already realized that the situation was not good. Fred and George were most likely missing. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to not go back to the dormitory to sleep at night.

"I'll go to the common room and ask if anyone has seen either of them," he said immediately, and acted on it.

Albert looked around the dormitory, suppressed the sleepiness between his brows, stuffed a large piece of chocolate into his mouth, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and patted his cheeks in the mirror to wake himself up completely.

Li Qiaodan has come back, his expression is not good, obviously nothing good happened. When he saw Albert coming back, he immediately went to greet him, "They are not in the common room."

"Are they going into the Forbidden Forest to look for the so-called secret treasure?" After Albert washed his face, his head regained consciousness and he asked, "Did you find any secrets on the treasure map?"

"This..." Li Qiaodan hesitated.

"If Fred and George enter the woods, the situation will be a bit bad." Albert's expression froze, and he found that there was new movement on his task panel.

Mysterious disappearance.

Two of your friends did not return to the dormitory before curfew. They are suspected to be missing. As a roommate and friend, you should try to find them.

Reward: 1000 experience.

"Follow me, we'll tell you this as we walk." Albert grabbed the wizard's hat that George had used and strode towards the common room.

"You mean, they entered the woods?" Li Qiaodan also realized that the situation was not good, if Fred and George entered the woods. Now that they haven't come back, the situation is very bad. The Forbidden Forest is very dangerous at night.

There are not many students staying in the common room anymore. A couple is whispering in a low voice, not paying attention to the surroundings at all. The students doing their holiday homework are focusing all their attention on the parchment and not paying attention to Albert at all. Te and Li Jordan left the lounge.

"I'm not sure if they entered the forest." Albert looked at Li Jordan and asked, "Tell me, did you find anything on that treasure map?"

"Yes, they found some changes on the treasure map." Li Qiaodan hesitated and continued, "They found that you seemed to be unaware of it, so they asked me to keep it secret and said they would not tell you for the time being."

"Go on," said Albert.

"Fred and George think the map should be real. You also know that they once went into the forest." Li Jordan followed Albert and said what he knew.

"I really don't know. By the way, they didn't tell me?" Albert stopped and looked at Li Jordan angrily.

"Fred said that if you knew, you would definitely prevent them from venturing into the woods." Li Jordan explained with a sigh.

"That's inevitable. It's not dangerous outside the woods, but that doesn't mean it's not dangerous to go deep into the woods." Albert raised his wand and cast the Disillusionment Curse on himself and Li Qiaodan.

"Are we going to enter the forest?" Li Jordan seemed to have guessed what Albert was thinking. He was shocked by Albert's boldness and suggested hesitantly: "I think we'd better go find Professor McGonagall."

"No, let's go find Hagrid. We need Hagrid's help." Albert rejected Li Jordan's proposal without thinking.

"But we can't get out. The gate of the castle is closed and we can't open it." Li Qiaodan reminded.

"I know where there is a secret passage out of the castle." Albert added: "Fred told me when we went out for a night out last time."

"But... why don't we go to Professor McGonagall?" Li Qiaodan still didn't understand. In his opinion, we should go to Professor McGonagall now.

"Hagrid knows the Forbidden Forest better than anyone else. With his help, we can enter and exit the Forbidden Forest safely." Albert led Li Jordan to take a shortcut, "Don't make this a big deal, otherwise Fred and George will be affected by it." That’s bad luck. What’s more, we’re not sure yet whether they entered the woods.”

"We really can't be sure about this." Li Jordan muttered, "Maybe they are still in school."

"It's easy to confirm this, hush." ​​Albert made a shushing gesture, and there were footsteps coming towards this direction not far away. He immediately extinguished the light on the wand and pulled Li Qiaodan to hide.

"It's strange, I clearly heard someone talking." Filch walked towards this side, holding an oil lamp in his hand and looking into the deep corridor. When he didn't find anyone, he turned and walked away.

Albert and Li Qiaodan came out of the corner when they heard footsteps disappearing. They came to a vase in the corner of the third floor.

"Is this the secret passage leading to the outside of the castle?"

"Turn left, turn right."

Albert stepped forward and tapped the vase twice with his wand.

The vase began to make a slight grinding sound.

Li Qiaodan was shocked to find a black spot in a landscape painting hanging on the wall next to him. The black spot gradually enlarged, and soon he saw a door.

"gone."

Albert stepped forward and grabbed the door handle. With a slight push, the original photo frame was opened, revealing the entrance hidden behind.

"So secretive." Li Qiaodan muttered.

"Don't tell anyone else."

"Know."

A few minutes later, the two finally walked out of the secret passage, and Li Qiaodan was surprised to find himself on the mountain path leading to the dock.

"Strike the raised stone three times." Albert pointed at the raised stone and said, "The password to open the entrance is: Open quickly."

"Damn it, those two guys know a lot of secret secret passages and they didn't tell me." Li Qiaodan complained softly.

"Follow me." Albert walked towards Hagrid's hut.

"How do you plan to determine whether Fred and George are in the Forbidden Forest?" Li Jordan couldn't help but ask.

This was very important, he didn't want to rush into the forbidden forest.

"Using owls, owls have tracking capabilities. We can use owls to determine whether Fred and George are in the Forbidden Forest." Albert explained.

It is true that Albert cannot track magic, but owls have this ability. As long as through the owls, Albert can determine whether the two guys are in the woods.

"It can still be like this." Li Jordan was shocked by Albert's whimsy, but it seemed to be a good idea. He quickly accelerated his pace and followed Albert.

The two finally arrived at Hagrid's hut. There was no light inside. Maybe Hagrid had fallen asleep, but their approach immediately aroused the vigilance of the hound Fang.

"Hagrid, Hagrid, we need your help." Albert raised his fist and knocked hard on Hagrid's wooden door.

A series of banging sounds were heard in the night. Only dogs barking could be heard from Hagrid's hut, but Hagrid was not seen getting up to open the door.

Something is wrong.

"Could he..." Li Qiaodan originally wanted to say whether Hagrid had fallen asleep, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong. If Hagrid was really asleep, there was no way that Albert would not react if he made such a big noise.

Albert pointed his wand at the door lock and muttered, "Open the Alaho hole."

The lock was opened, and Albert pushed the door open and entered the house. The light from the tip of the wand passed through Hagrid's hut. Sure enough, there was no one inside. He might have gone out for something.

"Isn't it good for us to break in?" Li Jordan followed Albert into the house a little uneasily.

Yaya couldn't see them, and was milling around the two of them, smelling the scent in the air.

"Of course it's not good." Albert lifted the phantom spell on his body and squatted down to comfort Yaya to prevent it from getting too excited.

"Then you still..." Before Li Qiaodan finished speaking, he heard the flapping sound of wings coming from outside the house. He quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and found that Xila flew into the house and landed on the wooden table. superior.

Albert's owl always appears when his owner needs to send a letter.

"Give it to George." Albert put down Hagrid's quill, handed his handkerchief to the owl, and warned: "Remember to give it to George himself."

Sheila grabbed the handkerchief, spread her wings and headed out in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

Seeing the direction in which the owl was going, their expressions suddenly darkened. If Fred and George were in the castle, then the owl would fly towards the castle, but flying into the woods now meant that they had really entered. The woods are gone.

"What should we do now? Go back to find Professor McGonagall?" Li Qiaodan took a deep breath and asked.

"Yes, go back to Professor McGonagall." Albert nodded.

Li Qiaodan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He was really afraid that Albert would say that he wanted to go into the woods to find someone. To be honest, he didn't have the courage to enter the forest at this time. The forest at night looked really eerie and scary.

"Where did they enter the woods from before?" Albert asked.

"Can't you..." Li Qiaodan suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I go into the forest, and you go back to find Professor McGonagall. Don't worry, I can guarantee your safety, but you need to go back, because someone must let Professor McGonagall know about this." Albert looked at Li Jordan and explained: " This matter is also important.”

"But!"

"If I fail to find them within two hours, I will come back by myself in two hours. Don't worry, I have ways to ensure my safety. You know, I never do anything I'm not sure about." Ai Bert raised his hand and patted Li Jordan on the shoulder, "Besides, do you think I would make a joke with my own life?"

"But how are you going to find them?" Li Qiaodan asked puzzledly.

"With teeth, of course."

Li Jordan looked at the hound, and then at the wizard hat that Albert had just held, and then suddenly realized that he had been wondering what Albert was doing with the wizard hat just now, and it turned out to be this!

"follow me."

Li Jordan takes Albert to the entrance of the Forbidden Forest where Fred and George entered the Forbidden Forest without telling Hagrid.

Albert handed Fred's hat to Yaya and said softly: "Yaya, help me find Fred and buy you delicious food another day."

Yaya sniffed around, then walked along the path towards the forbidden forest.

"Remember, go to Professor McGonagall first. If you can, it's best to call Hagrid too." Albert reminded again.

"Actually, you really don't need to take risks." Li Qiaodan hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's too dangerous to go in at this time."

"I can protect myself." Albert took out his pocket watch, looked at the time and said to Li Qiaodan, "It's twelve o'clock now. If no one is found, I will be back within two hours."

"You should know how to get back to the castle. Knock on the raised stone three times. The command is to open the hole quickly." Albert reminded again: "If Professor McGonagall asks, just say that Fred and George are not here." Back to the dormitory, I might have gone into the woods."

"I know." Li Qiaodan nodded helplessly to show that he understood. In fact, he couldn't understand why Albert wanted to go into the woods?

There was a reason why Albert insisted on going into the woods.

After confirming through the owl that Fred and George were in the Forbidden Forest, Albert found that a new task appeared on his task panel:

Rescue operations.

The Weasley brothers entered the Forbidden Forest for some reason, but have not returned yet. As Gryffindor students, roommates and friends, you cannot leave them alone. Enter the forest, find the Weasley brothers, and bring them to the Forbidden Forest. The two were brought out of the Forbidden Forest safely.

Reward: 2000 experience points, 2 skill points, George Weasley favorability +10, Fred Weasley favorability +10.

This task may mean that it is not too difficult to find the twins, but the difficult thing is to take them out of the Forbidden Forest.

Albert naturally has his own methods. He can phantom and has enough experience to upgrade his skills. If necessary, you can ensure that you can appear at the edge of the Forbidden Forest through Apparition at any time.

The most important thing is that with the all-in-one protection that I just learned from Professor Brod not long ago, with this defensive magic and the phantom appearance, I can be invincible.

However, if possible, Albert doesn't want to reveal that he will apparate at all. It is the last insurance, so he needs someone to come to the rescue. Professor McGonagall or other professors can be the first insurance.

Just after Albert followed Yaya into the dark forbidden forest, Li Qiaodan had returned to the castle as quickly as possible.

And Albert's owl, carrying his handkerchief, spread its wings deep into the Forbidden Forest.

For owls, night is their most active time, and the owls of Hogwarts often forage in the Forbidden Forest.

Albert had told Sheila to give the handkerchief to George, and the owl immediately locked onto George's location and found the target at an extremely fast speed.

As Albert expected, things were not going well for Fred and George. They were surrounded by a group of Acromantulas.

Sheila did not descend, and the situation below made her feel threatened. The handkerchief the owl grabbed was thrown down, and it happened to fall on George's head.

"What is this?" Fred stretched out his hand to grab the handkerchief, but found nothing. George's eyesight and quick hands quickly grabbed the handkerchief back.

There were some words written on the handkerchief, and George read them out with the help of the light on the wand: "Shoot red sparks into the sky. If you need help from the centaurs, they will take you out of the forest."

"Albert's owl." George looked up and saw Sheila, and said excitedly: "We are saved."

"Centaurs? Where to find centaurs!" Fred looked at the dense spiders below and couldn't help but shudder.

The two of them had really bad luck. They searched for Gryffindor's secret treasure based on the treasure map, but predictably, they got lost.

Later, they somehow encountered an Acromantula and were almost eaten. Fortunately, George used the barrier spell in time and they escaped.

Somehow, more and more spiders were chasing them, and Fred happened to encounter an old guardian tree on the way when he remembered.

Thanks to paying attention in class and to Albert for using the Protector Tree as a protective bracelet.

The two ran to the protector tree and narrowly escaped death.

However, this is not over yet.

The number of Acromantulas is increasing, surrounding the Protector Tree, and some Acromantulas even try to cross the Protector Tree to attack them.

In the end, the two had no choice but to climb a tree, which angered the bowtruckle who lived in the guardian tree and caused many scratches on their bodies.

"Quick, another big spider is coming." George screamed.

"There are many obstacles."

Both of them pointed their wands at the Acromantula that was trying to get close to the Protector Tree. Two magic spells hit it, and then the big spider was knocked away.

"Thanks for learning the Obstruction Charm from Albert." George muttered.

"Shoot red sparks into the sky." Fred raised his wand and fired red sparks into the sky.

At first, they were surrounded by a group of big spiders, and they almost went crazy. The dense spiders were really visually shocking, and they forgot about it as soon as they became nervous.

"Don't do that." George quickly stopped Fred.

"Why?"

"What if Albert comes alone and runs into these big spiders?" George looked at the spider army below, his face full of worry.

"I think Albert will ask other professors for help. With his character, it is unlikely that he will venture into the Forbidden Forest by himself." Based on Fred's understanding of Albert, the probability of that guy entering the Forbidden Forest alone is It's really not high.
