"I didn't expect that you were right again." When Fred was speaking, he turned around and looked around. Seeing that there was no one else in the corridor, he whispered to the three of them: "The principal is really watching over there."
"Just now, I really thought that Professor Dumbledore would deduct a lot of points from us, give us a severe scolding, and put us in solitary confinement. I didn't expect that the principal would just let us keep it a secret."
The three of them were really startled when the principal suddenly appeared. George turned to look at Albert and asked curiously, "Did you do something to make the principal let us go so easily?"
"I thought you had forgotten what you promised!" Albert raised his index finger and made a shushing gesture towards the three of them.
They all felt a little hungry after an exciting adventure, so they went to the kitchen together to prepare some midnight snacks.
Now, on the way back to the dormitory.
"I dare say they have forgotten it a long time ago." Lee Jordan joked inarticulately.
"If your mouth wasn't full of food, I dare say you would be more talkative than us." Fred suddenly snatched the oil paper bag containing hash browns from Lee Jordan's hand and glared in front of him with dissatisfaction.
This sarcastic guy.
"Speaking of which, you can actually eat it." George looked at Lee Jordan, whose mouth was full of food, and couldn't help but shook his head and said.
Although they did not come into contact with the troll, passing by the troll's room still made several of them feel uncomfortable and wanted to go back and take a shower.
"Why can't I eat it?"
As soon as Lee Jordan finished speaking, he saw Fred actually taking off his boots and bringing them to him.
"Ugh, you guys are such a bastard." Li Qiaodan almost vomited out everything he had just eaten.
The next moment, the two were chasing each other.
"Really." Albert shook his head.
At this moment, there were still many people in the Gryffindor common room busy with their own affairs, but the room was extremely quiet.
Some fifth and seventh grade students were working hard to review their lessons, while Percy, as the prefect, maintained order in the common room.
Anyone who dared to speak loudly in the common room would be immediately glared at by Percy.
So, Fred, who was nagging just now, was in trouble as soon as he entered the common room.
"Where have you been? Why do you smell like this? It stinks to death." Percy covered his mouth and nose with his hand and glared at Fred who was disturbing their review.
"Is there any?" Fred smelled his own scent and extended his hand for Percy to smell, but he slapped him away.
"It stinks." Percy glared at Fred: "Don't disturb other people's review here."
Fred happily annoyed Percy. When he turned to look at his brother, he found that several of his friends who were around him had disappeared.
"Hey, wait for me." Fred ignored Percy and hurriedly quickened his pace to keep up.
After taking a good shower and using shower gel to clean away any remaining odor, the few of them sat down and ate the potato pancakes they had brought back from the kitchen.
When Tom saw Albert coming back, he immediately came over and nudged Albert with his head, asking for the agreed dried fish.
"By the way, you haven't told us yet, what is the treasure hidden by Principal Dumbledore?" The three of them asked Albert, who was feeding the cat while eating.
"There is only one magic mirror in the last room, which is the Mirror of Erised we saw last time in the Room of Requirement. There is nothing else." Albert scratched Tom's ear and answered Frey.
Questions that De, George and Lee Jordan wanted to know.
"What about the treasure?"
"I guess it's hidden in the Mirror of Erised." Albert didn't lie and began to tell the truth, "This should be a magical mechanism arranged by Principal Dumbledore. Most people can't crack it at all."
"That's an ordinary person, are you an ordinary person?" George looked sideways at Albert, suddenly nodded and said, "You are not an ordinary person, you are Albert!"
"Well, I'm not an ordinary person." Albert couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard this.
"Look, Albert finally admitted that he is not an ordinary person." After Lee Jordan swallowed the food in his mouth, he patted Albert on the shoulder and joked.
"Don't change the subject." George raised his hand to stop Li Qiaodan from continuing and asked directly, "What is the treasure? Don't tell me that you have never seen the treasure."
If you don't ask directly, you don't know where the topic will lead.
"The treasure should be the magic stone."
"What stone?"
"The Philosopher's Stone." Albert said.
"What is that?" George asked, raising his eyebrows.
"A magical alchemical product." Albert replied, "However, there is no need for you to pay too much attention to the treasure. I estimate that the magic stone is most likely a fake."
"Fake, you mean, the treasure is fake." Li Jordan didn't understand what this meant for a while.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Albert must have tested it, otherwise he wouldn't say the stuff is fake." Fred stuffed the paper bag to Lee Jordan, as if you should continue to eat your pancakes.
.
"Well, I tried it, but it didn't work." When Lee Jordan was about to destroy the last pancake, Albert quickly rescued the food from him with quick eyes and hands.
"You've already eaten a lot. Eating too much at night is bad for your stomach."
"Yes, it's not good for your stomach."
"You'd better eat this." George got a box of cocoa beans from nowhere, stuffed it directly into Li Qiaodan's hand, and said with a smile.
"Then what?"
"At that time, I asked Principal Dumbledore, but he didn't answer, but I guess it was fake."
"Why would the principal put a fake magic stone somewhere?"
"It's the Philosopher's Stone." Albert corrected.
"Oh why?"
All three people looked at Albert, waiting for his answer.
"What would you do if you knew someone wanted to steal your things?" Albert did not directly answer the three people's questions, but asked while combing Tom's hair with a comb.
"I will hide and try to catch that damn thief." Lee Jordan said.
"Now that I know someone is going to steal my things, of course I will be vigilant and make sure the things will not be stolen first, and then try to catch the person." George had the same idea.
"No, you should put a fake one in its original place and wait for that damn thief to come over. It would be best if you can catch him. If you can't catch the stolen one, it will be fake." Fred's idea was also half-measured.
"So, the situation is probably like this." Albert raised Tom high and asked with a smile: "Are you right, Tom?"
"Meow!"
Tom chewed the dried fish and meowed casually.
"I didn't expect it to be like this. I just said how could those magic mechanisms be so simple." George's face showed an expression like this.
"Simple, I wonder who was almost trapped to death by the Devil's Net." Lee Jordan couldn't help but said sarcastically: "If it weren't for Albert, you couldn't even get through the Devil's Net?"
"Hmph! I want you to take care of it."
"So, the actual situation is the same as you speculated last time. The principal is waiting for the thief to take the bait?" Fred asked.
"Is the thief really Professor Quirrell?"
"It doesn't seem like it. Professor Quirrell seems to have a very small burden. Why would he steal the principal's things?"
"I feel like Snape is more like a thief." Fred unceremoniously put the blame for being a thief on Snape's head.
"You guys think, should we help the principal and catch the thief faster?" George suggested excitedly.
"For example?" Lee Jordan asked tentatively.
"We can write and tell Snee...well, I mean Professor Quirrell, if he is really the thief who tried to steal the principal's things, he will definitely take action." George suggested excitedly. "Finally, he
You will definitely fall into the principal’s trap.”
Looking at the people who were eager to try, Albert was immediately speechless.
Didn’t you promise the principal to keep it secret just now, and then rush to be the leaker the next moment?
More positive than yourself?
"It's better not to do it." Albert decisively rejected the proposal. "Professor Dumbledore must have his own plan for doing that. It's better not to do that. It would be bad if it disrupts his plan."
The rewards of the leaker's mission are actually very average. However, the mission is a bit tricky. If you don't handle it well, you will feel like you will be buried.
Even if Albert really considers doing this kind of task that is risky and not very rewarding, he still needs to do it at the right time and at the right time.
