It took Harry some time to calm down Ron's mood. He knew how Ron was feeling now.
In the past, Harry was also very poor and had few pennies in his pocket. His Uncle Vernon was never willing to spend an extra shilling on him.
Later, Harry inherited a large inheritance from his parents, but he didn't have much concept of money itself, and there weren't many places where he needed money. The Galleons he took out from Gringotts last time, except for purchasing needs
Except for his belongings, most of them were still in his pockets.
"I really don't know where they got so many galleons." Ron muttered in a low voice. Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to think that Albert paid for it himself.
"I probably know the reason." Harry recalled it for a moment and said, "Do you still remember the advertisement on the bulletin board?"
"What ad?" Ron asked.
"It's that 'communication card, so there is no distance between us' advertisement." Harry said, "I remember last time I saw Fred and George posting an advertisement there, and was warned by Percy because of it, contact
That's Fred, George and Lee Jordan."
"You mean they earned so many Galleons from selling those so-called communication cards!" Ron's eyes widened, his face filled with shock. He simply couldn't believe what Fred and George had sold.
"Probably Mr. Anderson asked them to help sell things and then gave them money." Harry still knew something and explained to Ron.
After all, Harry had been living in the Muggle world before, and Albert's behavior was too common in the Muggle world.
"But why doesn't he sell it by himself?" Ron couldn't understand it. If it were him, he would definitely do it alone...
"I'm not sure. It's possible..." Harry didn't know much about Albert either, but he heard that he was a very powerful genius and seemed to be very rich. "...Probably... he didn't want to waste time."
Bar!"
Harry didn't think there was anything wrong with Albert's approach. If it were him, he would probably do the same thing, provided he could think of this.
"Why am I not the one making money?"
Ron had this thought next, and even though he knew the reason, he was still very depressed.
Next to him, Harry took out a piece of parchment from his pocket. It was a treasure map, with a line of words written in gorgeous cursive characters. Juniors, congratulations on discovering the treasure we left behind. Go and search for it.
All the treasures are kept there.—alfg
"alfg?" Harry whispered the letters, then turned to Ron next to him and said, "This must be a very mean-spirited guy."
Ron looked at the treasure map carefully, frowned slightly and asked, "Where did you get this thing?"
"When I was doing my homework last time, I found it among the books I borrowed from the school library!" Harry had no intention of hiding this.
At that time, he found that several pages of parchment had been pasted together. After looking carefully, he found that the treasure map was hidden inside.
"Maybe the other party is playing a trick on us." Ron looked at the old parchment and frowned. "This summer, Fred and George also bragged to us, saying that they found the grid through a piece of parchment.
Llanffindor’s secret treasure.”
Speaking of this matter, Ron couldn't help but have contempt in his eyes. Thinking about it with his head, he knew that this was impossible, let alone Fred and George bragging to him that they had defeated the troll.
He defeated a giant spider and went through many tests before he found the treasure hidden by Gryffindor.
You'll know it's false as soon as you hear it.
However, when combined with the old treasure map in Harry's hand, it feels a bit weird no matter how you look at it.
Is it true?
Ron used his unthinking mind and finally came up with the answer: bullshit.
"go together!"
Harry thought for a while and said the invitation. He didn't want Ron to continue to be upset because of what happened just now, and he always thought treasure hunting was a very interesting thing.
"Um."
Ron agreed, and since Harry wanted to go treasure hunting, he would go along.
"But what does this mean?" Harry pointed to the mark on the other side of the treasure map, which looked like a map.
"I don't know." Ron looked at the map and felt very irritated, "Maybe it's a map somewhere in the castle."
"What does ghosts have to do with toilets?" Harry looked at the simple portraits next to the map in confusion.
"And... this thing should be a pumpkin?" Ron guessed, "Could ghosts and pumpkins refer to Halloween?"
"I don't think so. What does the toilet mean? The toilet in the bathroom?" Harry was even more confused. He was not good at solving puzzles at all. "Also, is this a map of the castle?"
"It should be...the map on the second floor of the castle!" Ron said after observing carefully.
"What if this is a map of the second floor?" Harry asked. "Is there a bathroom on the second floor?"
"It seems... not. Well, wait, there seems to be a malfunctioning bathroom?" Ron's eyes lit up, feeling that he seemed to have guessed something.
“But what do ghosts and pumpkins mean?”
"Hagrid's pumpkin patch?"
Harry often ran to Hagrid's side and remembered that there was a large pumpkin patch next to Hagrid's hut. Those pumpkins were specially prepared for Halloween.
"So, what does ghost mean?"
Harry feels that his brain is running out and he is really not good at guessing riddles. However, he is going to try his luck on the second floor first, maybe he can encounter a ghost or something."
However, the two of them walked around the second floor of the castle and did not encounter any ghosts.
Finally, they decided to go to the broken bathroom to see if they could find any clues.
"Can't go in."
Ron stopped Harry when he reached for the brass handle and was about to push the door open.
"What's going on?" Harry asked confused.
"This is a girls' bathroom." Ron pointed at the sign and said with a frown. Moreover, he heard footsteps coming this way.
"What are you going to do?"
Hermione stopped Ron and Harry who were about to break into the malfunctioning girls' bathroom, and looked at the two people in front of them with very strange eyes.
"We are on a treasure hunt." Harry couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and quickly stepped back, explaining to Hermione why he wanted to enter the girls' bathroom. He didn't want to be misunderstood.
"Don't think you can do this kind of thing just by looking for an excuse. If you dare to do this, I will tell Professor McGonagall." Hermione looked at the two of them with disgust and said, "Last semester, there was a student in our college.
I almost got expelled from school for doing this."
Harry and Ron opened their mouths, not knowing what to say.
"I hope I don't see you packing your bags and getting ready to leave next time?"
After saying that, Hermione turned and left.
"Really?" Harry asked stupidly.
"How did I know, what should I do now?" Ron looked at Harry uneasily. If he was expelled for this, his mother would definitely kill him.
"I'll go in by myself!" Harry gritted his teeth and said, "Just keep it here and remind me if someone comes."
"Forget it, I'll go in with you!" Ron didn't want to stay outside. What if he was misunderstood?
As soon as they pushed the door open and entered the girls' bathroom, they met Crying Myrtle.
"I think the ghost is referring to her." Ron pointed to the ghost girl in front of him and said to Harry.
"I know I'm already dead. You don't need to tell me again." Weeping Myrtle glared dissatisfied at the two students who had intruded into her territory.
"Do you know where the treasure is?" Harry asked straight to the point. If possible, he really didn't want to stay here for a moment longer.
"Oh, I know, I know. Someone once told me that if anyone comes here looking for something, tell him 'fifteen'." Moaning Myrtle suddenly giggled.
"What do you mean?" Ron asked confused.
"I don't know." Myrtle said happily.
"Who asked you to tell me?" Harry asked curiously. The person who asked the ghost to tell him must be the creator of the treasure map.
"A handsome young man." Myrtle chuckled, "He won't let me tell anyone else his name."
After saying that, the ghost floated away.
"What do you think fifteen means?"
"We'd better get out of here." Ron said uneasily, "Don't let anyone see us entering the girls' bathroom."
Harry also thought Ron's words made sense. As soon as they walked out of the girls' bathroom, they heard footsteps coming towards them again.
The two of them couldn't help but feel worried. When they looked up, they found that they were acquaintances.
"Harry, Ron, what are you doing here?" George raised his head and looked at the room they just came out of, and raised his eyebrows.
"What are you doing in the girls' bathroom?" Fred asked in surprise.
"No no, us!"
"Okay, I understand, you should leave quickly before others see it." Albert interrupted, "I remember last year Marcus McLaggen pretended to be stupid and tried to break into the girls' bathroom.
, but he was caught by the girls, and his reputation was ruined, and no girl was willing to date him anymore." Li Jordan looked like you have to learn a lesson.
"This...we are not..."
The two of them were so depressed that their faces were red, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
