At this moment, there was silence in the dormitory.
Lee Jordan had realized that the situation was not good, and Fred and George were most likely missing, otherwise he would not have gone back to the dormitory to sleep at night.
"I'll go to the common room and ask if anyone has seen them." He said immediately and took action.
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.
Lee Jordan had come back, and his face was not very good. It was obvious that nothing good had 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, he asked, "Did you find any secrets on the treasure map?"
"This..." Li Jordan 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 the 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 talk about this as we walk." Albert grabbed the wizard's hat that George used and strode towards the common room.
"You mean, they entered the woods?" Lee Jordan also realized that the situation was not good. If Fred and George entered the woods and they haven't come back yet, the situation would be very bad. The Forbidden Forest at night is very dangerous.
.
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 Lee Jordan leave the lounge.
"I'm not sure if they went into the woods." Albert looked at Lee Jordan and asked, "Tell me, did you find anything on that treasure map?"
"Yes, they found some changes on the treasure map." Li Jordan 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. As you know, they once went into the woods." Lee 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 Lee Jordan angrily.
"Fred said that if you knew, you would definitely stop them from venturing into the woods." Lee Jordan sighed and explained.
"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 woods?" Lee 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 Lee Jordan's proposal without thinking.
"But we can't get out. The gate of the castle is closed and we can't open it." Lee Jordan 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?" Lee Jordan 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 leave the Forbidden Forest safely." Albert took Lee Jordan to take a shortcut, "Don't make this a big deal, otherwise Fred and George will
So it's bad luck. What's more, we still can't be sure whether they entered the forest."
"We really don't know for sure," muttered Lee Jordan. "Maybe they're still in school."
"It's easy to confirm this, shush." 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 Lee Jordan 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. He didn't find anyone, so he turned and walked away.
Hearing the footsteps receding, Albert and Lee Jordan came out of the corner. They came to a vase in the corner of the third floor.
"Is the secret passage leading outside the castle right here?"
"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 Jordan was shocked to find a black dot appearing in a landscape painting hanging on the wall next to him. The black dot 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," muttered Lee Jordan.
"Don't tell anyone else."
"Know."
A few minutes later, the two finally walked out of the secret passage, and Lee Jordan was surprised to find himself on the mountain path leading to the dock.
"Strike this raised stone three times?" Albert pointed to 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 Jordan complained softly.
"Follow." Albert walked towards Hagrid's hut.
"How are you going to determine whether Fred and George are in the Forbidden Forest?" Lee 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.

inside.
"It can still be like this." Li Jordan was shocked by Albert's whimsical idea, but it seemed to be a good idea. He quickly speeded up 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, and only the barking of dogs could be heard from Hagrid's hut, but Hagrid was not seen getting up to open the door.
Something is wrong.
"Could he..." Li Jordan originally wanted to say whether Hagrid had fallen asleep, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong. If Hagrid really fell asleep, and Albert made such a big noise, no
There may be no response.
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?" Lee Jordan followed Albert into the house a little uneasily.
Yaya couldn't see them, and was wandering around the two of them, smelling the smell 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 Sheila flew into the house and landed on the wood.
On the table.
Albert's owl always appears when his master 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, the two people's 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?" Lee Jordan took a deep breath and asked.
"Yes, go back to Professor McGonagall." Albert nodded.
Lee Jordan 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 go into the woods at this time. The forest at night really looked eerie and scary.
"Where did they enter the woods from before?" Albert asked.
"Can't you..." Li Jordan suddenly had a bad premonition.
"I go into the forest, 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 Lee Jordan and explained:
"This matter is also very important."
"But!"
"If I fail to find them within two hours, I will come back by myself after two hours. Don't worry, I have ways to ensure my own safety. You know, I never do anything I'm not sure of."
Bert raised his hand and patted Lee 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.
"Of course it's teeth."
Lee 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."
Lee Jordan takes Albert to the entrance where Fred and George entered the Forbidden Forest without Hagrid's knowledge.
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 narrow path towards the forbidden forest.
"Remember, go to Professor McGonagall first. If there is a way, it's best to call Hagrid too." Albert reminded again.
"Actually, you really don't need to take risks." Li Jordan 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 Lee Jordan, "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 got it." Lee Jordan nodded helplessly to show that he got it. 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 mission may mean that it is not too difficult to find the twins, but the more difficult thing is to take them out of the Forbidden Forest.
Albert naturally has his own means. He can apparate and has enough experience to upgrade his skills. If necessary, he can ensure that he can apparate at the edge of the Forbidden Forest 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 Apparition, 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, Lee Jordan 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 densely packed spiders below and couldn't help but shudder.
The two of them didn't have much luck. They searched for Gryffindor's secret treasure based on the treasure map, but predictably, they got lost.
Later, they encountered an Acromantula for some reason and were almost eaten. Fortunately, George used the obstacle 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 of them ran to the protector tree and luckily escaped.
However, this matter 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 on 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. They hit it with two magic spells and knocked the big spider away.
"Thanks for learning the barrier 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 both of them almost went crazy. The dense spiders were really visually shocking, and as soon as they became nervous, they forgot about it.
"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
