Katrina heard the noise coming from the door and looked up in confusion at Albert and Isobel, who were hurriedly returning to the Room of Requirement. She didn't know what the two people were doing.
Albert ignored Katrina and took out a piece of parchment from his robe pocket, unfolding it to confirm the specific location of Ginny Weasley at the moment.
If the Basilisk was released from the Chamber of Secrets, Ginny Weasley would definitely be near it.
However, the situation was different from what Albert thought. Ginny Weasley was in the Gryffindor common room at this time and was not wandering around Hogwarts Castle.
So, it's just a farce?
Albert couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the detection ball was just a test object, and it wouldn't be surprising if something happened to him.
Isobel stared at the ink dots and footprints on the map in Albert's hand, not knowing what she was thinking.
Then, she saw Albert take out another more detailed map, which was the Marauder's Map that she had seen before. Albert spread out the Marauder's Map and carefully examined the corridors around the Room of Requirement.
No footprints of any creature were found.
Just because there are no footprints doesn't mean there are no living creatures around.
At least, as far as Albert knows, it doesn't seem to work for animals without names. Spiders, rats, and cockroaches without names cannot be displayed on the Marauder's Map.
Only pets like Filch's cat, or other students' named pets, will appear on the Marauder's Map.
Albert was not sure whether the basilisk had a name of his own.
However, one thing is certain, Voldemort's diary cannot be displayed on the map. To a certain extent, Tom's state is worse than that of a ghost or even the humblest wandering soul.
Albert didn't know if the basilisk had a name, but seeing Ginny Weasley in the common room, he was probably sure that it was just a false alarm.
But, why did the detection ball react just now?
Albert returned his gaze to the detection ball. After entering the Room of Requirement, the reaction of this thing completely disappeared.
"Sure enough, is it an oolong?"
It is said that the detection range of the looking glass is one mile in radius, and the detection range of the pocket looking glass should not be that wide. And the detection ball in his hand is purely a product of imitation of the looking glass, and the range is definitely not within one mile.
, but it should be more than enough to cover the castle, so why did the situation just happen?
Well, if that's the case, it makes sense.
Although Albert thinks this is just a forced self-comfort, he really can't find any other reasonable explanation at present.
In short, Ginny Weasley was not walking around outside, which really reassured him a lot.
Of course, everything has other possibilities. Perhaps, Hogwarts Castle has pipes extending in all directions, and the basilisk was moving in the pipes just now, but it just appeared very close to Albert and was caught by the detection ball.
The entrance to the secret room is not just in the bathroom on the second floor.
To be honest, this possibility is not high.
Otherwise, Tom would not have controlled Ginny Weasley to enter Slytherin's secret room from the entrance to the girls' bathroom on the second floor. Moaning Myrtle often moved there. If he entered, he would have to specifically choose if Myrtle was not there.
when.
"Are you okay?" Isobel asked worriedly.
"It's okay." Albert shook his head and said, "It's probably a false alarm. This thing really needs improvement."
"What are you doing?" Katrina looked at the two people who were whispering together.
"Nothing, let's go back first." Albert took a deep breath, took Isobel's soft palm, and warned, "Also, it's best not to run around."
With that said, Albert and Isobel left the Room of Requirement together. The detection ball began to heat up again, and finally cracked from the middle and was completely broken.
Albert was immediately speechless.
He somewhat understood why he didn't get the certification from the skill panel after he made this thing.
"We need to solve the basilisk problem as soon as possible."
Albert envied those who were ignorant. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
"Sure enough, it's all Tom's fault."
Just after returning to the lounge, I saw Kenneth Toller hurried over to ask about the amulet.
"I've already made the sample, don't sell this." Albert took out the bracelet and handed it to Kenneth. After knotting it, the latter looked up and down. It was a bit different from the European painting style, but as long as he liked it,
, you will feel that this thing is actually very good.
"Wearing it can reflect evil spells, which is a bit like casting spells without a wand. It should also have a repelling effect on ordinary dark creatures, but don't expect the effect to be that strong. And..." Albert lowered his voice and said, "I guess it will be effective against the chamber of secrets.
The monsters inside have no effect."
"No, if it can achieve the effect you said, this thing would be amazing." Kenneth Toler looked very excited and couldn't wait to test the effect of the amulet.
"Can I get someone to test it?"
"Yes, but the price cannot be lower than 10 Galleons, otherwise you will definitely lose money." After Albert gave Kenneth Toller some tips, he began to look around to find Ginny Weasley's location.
Ron's sister was in the corner of the lounge, wondering what she was doing.
Albert sat in the empty seat next to Ginny, looked at the red-haired girl who was startled by him, and asked gently, "Are you okay?"
With that said, he took out a piece of chocolate and placed it in front of Ginny, and said to the hesitant girl, "Eat some sweets. It will make you feel better."
"Thanks."
Ginny's hands were a little trembling, so she took the chocolate, opened the wrapping paper, put it in her mouth, and said thank you again.
"If you often have nightmares, go to Madam Pomfrey and get some medicine to make you feel better." Albert's tone was calm, his eyes fell on the blank diary on the table, and he quickly looked away.
.
In an open place, Kenneth Toler was looking for someone to test the bracelet, which could rebound the effects of curses, which immediately aroused the idea of the students in the lounge.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Kenneth soon became the object of countless people's attention.
"Look at that guy Kenneth showing off his face."
Fred, George and Lee Jordan walked towards Albert, a little disdainful of Kenneth's approach. Those things were all leftover from their play.
"Are you okay Ginny, you don't look good."
"Percy said you had nightmares."
"I'm fine." Ginny closed the notebook in a panic. Albert's sharp eyes noticed the blurry ink written on the first page: Tom Riddle.
"How much do you think he can sell?" George asked curiously.
"This thing is very expensive. I probably won't be able to sell many of it."
"Actually, if this thing could be sold outside, it would probably be more valuable." Albert suddenly said, "After all, most students are relatively poor."
"Aren't you afraid that he will imitate you?" George suddenly said, "That guy has a dark history."
"Don't be afraid. Even if he finds someone to copy it successfully, it will probably be an inferior product."
Albert didn't care about this. The bracelet was a collection of his knowledge, covering many fields. Alchemy was not that simple. The more he communicated with Nico Flamel, the more he agreed with this.
When Kenneth came to see Albert after his performance, he ordered two amulets from him, each costing 15 Galleons.
"It's so profitable. But, will anyone really be willing to spend money to buy it?"
Ron, who heard the conversation between the two, couldn't help but murmured.
George looked at the stunned Ron, reached out and patted her shoulder and said, "This is the power of knowledge."
"Albert is really powerful." Hermione also witnessed the effect of the curse being rebounded just now, and couldn't help but sigh, "But, is this thing really effective against the monsters in the secret room?"
"I also ordered one." Harry said suddenly.
"Harry, why did you buy this?" Hermione asked confused.
"Next time, if I have a conflict with Malfoy, can't I use the amulet to deflect his curse and seize the opportunity to teach him a lesson?" Harry felt that he was very prescient.
