Chapter 149: Secret treasure
Albert raised his head, and by the white light of the tip of his wand, he vaguely saw Professor McGonagall who was walking here quickly. The person behind the professor was... their roommate Lee Jordan, and... Principal Dumbledore.
The old man was looking at the three of them with a smile.
"Budd, you found them, it\'s great!" Professor McGonagall sighed with relief, his eyes fell on Albert, Fred and George, as if to check whether his students were injured.
"It should be said... Mr. Anderson found the two Mr. Weasleys." Professor Brod explained with a smile: "When I arrived, Mr. Anderson had been rescued from a large group of eight-eyed giant spiders and was trapped in Gentlemen Weasley on the sorbus tree (protector tree)."
"Sorry, you said a bunch of...what?" Professor McGonagall couldn\'t help raising his voice a little, as if he couldn\'t believe what he just heard?
"Eight-eyed giant spider, Minerva." Professor Broad looked sideways at Dumbledore. "There should be a nest of eight-eyed giant spiders in the depths of the forbidden forest. These monsters have basically no natural enemies and have multiplied into a large colony. Up."
"I see." Dumbledore looked at Albert curiously and smiled. "However, I am even more curious about how Mr. Anderson found Mr. Weasley and how he dispelled the group of eight-eyed giants. Spider, as far as I know, those monsters are not something an ordinary freshman can deal with."
Albert looked at Lee Jordan and cleverly staggered Dumbledore’s gaze. Even if Dumbledore did not use pantograph, he was an expert in this area. As long as the eyes of both sides were in line, it would be difficult for Albert to follow. Dumbledore lied in front of him.
"Yes, in fact, I am also very curious about this." Professor Browd\'s voice changed, and kindly reminded, "but I think the most urgent thing is to send them to the school hospital first. We will use it when we return. Door keys, they are still... fainting the door keys."
"You\'re right, Bud." Professor McGonagall nodded and stared at the three sternly, "Come with me!"
"Excuse me, come and help me help Fred." Albert directly ignored Professor McGonagall\'s stern gaze, and said to Li Qiaodan, he himself was too tired to support others.
"Oh, yes, and this dog, it seems to be Hagrid\'s pet, and Albert seems to rely on it to find the Weasley gentlemen." Professor Brod pointed to the tooth on his foot and said, "However, it It seems unable to adapt to the Apparition."
"Don\'t worry, I have notified Hagrid that he will be back soon." Dumbledore said gently.
For a moment, he seemed to notice something, turned his head and looked in a certain direction, smiled and said, "Look, Hagrid is back."
Yes, Hagrid came back, carrying the oil lamp from Hogsmeade\'s direction. He drank a bit high, and he smelt a strong smell of alcohol. He strode towards this side.
"President Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall...Professor Browder?" Hagrid covered a burp, greeted the three professors, and fell on Albert again, seeing that they were all right and relaxed. Tone.
"It\'s great that they are okay. These little guys always like to sneak into the woods by themselves when I\'m not paying attention."
"Okay Hagrid..."
Dumbledore talked to Hagrid about the situation, and the hunting ground guard said he would take good care of his pet.
Everyone bid farewell to Hagrid and soon came to the school hospital.
Was awakened in the middle of the night, Madam Pomfrey did not have a good temper, but she still treated the three of them conscientiously.
"It\'s okay. The two Mr. Weasleys just didn\'t get used to the door key, and they haven\'t recovered from the faint door key. As for Mr. Anderson, he is just too tired. Just a good night\'s sleep." Pomfrey After examining the three, the wife gave the diagnosis result.
"They need to rest and recover completely the day after tomorrow."
Now the head nurse is ready to rush people.
It\'s a pity that even Madam Pomfrey can\'t do anything very well for the faint key, as long as she takes a day or two to relax and it will be fine.
"Poppi, we need to figure out the cause and effect. It only takes a few minutes." Professor McGonagall said.
"At most five minutes, the patient needs to rest." Madam Pomfrey frowned and gave Albert a piece of chocolate.
"Let\'s go, what is going on?" Professor McGonagall\'s tone also eased a little, staring at the three of them and asked.
Albert briefly explained the situation. When he went back to the dormitory to rest, he found that Fred and George had not returned.
Later, I learned from Lee Jordan that the two might have entered the woods, but they have not yet returned.
Then Albert said that he had passed the Owl, confirming that the two were indeed still in the forbidden forest, and prepared to seek Hagrid\'s help. Finally, because Hagrid was not there, he had to go into the forest to find someone by himself, and then asked Lee Jordan to return to the castle to ask the professor for help.
"You violated a lot of school rules along the way, but how did you find the two Mr. Weasleys and how did you escape?" Professor McGonagall couldn\'t help asking, "The group of eight people mentioned by Professor Broad What\'s the matter with the giant eye spider."
"In the beginning, I thought Fred and George were just lost. In places like the Forbidden Forest, no one leads the way. It\'s actually easy to get lost." Albert continued to talk about his experience along the way. Later he said that he met a horseman. , And with the help of a horseman, find the direction where the red sparks are bright.
"The red sparks are reminded by Albert\'s letter." Fred took out Albert\'s handkerchief, and it said: Launching red sparks into the sky. If you have anything to do, you can ask the horsemen for help. They will send you out of the forest. .
"Actually, the horsemen are not friendly." Albert laughed at himself. "But the horsemen said they never attacked the foals. I think they meant that they would not attack the students. Later I said it was a friend of Hagrid. Negotiated with the horsemen and convinced them to lead me to the direction of the red spark, and later encountered the big spider.
Dumbledore nodded, he knew the horseman in the forbidden forest.
"How on earth did you defeat the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider?" Professor Broad asked everyone the most curious question.
"Because of Yaya\'s warning, I was not attacked by the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider, but the obstacle curse and the coma curse had no effect on those big spiders." Albert lay on the bed, chewing chocolate, and recalled, "I tried Use the dance step spell on its feet to limit its ability to move. In fact, such an attempt was very successful."
"Wonderful idea, your defense against the Dark Arts is very good, I am proud of you." Professor Brod nodded.
"Later, when I calmed down, I remembered the spider retreat curse I happened to see in the library." Albert said with emotion, "I didn\'t expect this curse to have a miraculous effect on those big spiders."
Albert slowly told the story of tonight, and finally said that relying on the tree of protection, he turned over half of the eight-eyed giant spider that came up...
"It\'s incredible." Professor McGonagall has already seen from Albert\'s narration the boldness and wisdom of this freshman, whether it was he found twins through owls and hounds, or when he faced horsemen and eight-eyed giant spiders. With his courage and ability, even entering the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night requires great courage.
"Okay, I probably know the situation." Professor McGonagall gave the final sentence, "Mr. Weasley, you have seriously violated the school rules. Each one is deducted 100 points and there is a week of confinement."
Fred and George both groaned, and Lee Jordan next to him was also taken aback. Each one scored 100 points, and Gryffindor\'s few scores basically bottomed out.
"As for Mr. Anderson." Professor McGonagall hesitated, as if thinking about what to do with Albert.
In the end, Dumbledore said, "Mr. Anderson displayed extraordinary courage and wisdom in this process, saving the lives of two Weasleys. I think this is enough for you to win the special contribution award to the school. Yes—let me think about—yes, you won two hundred points for Gryffindor."
Fred and George both breathed a sigh of relief, as they offset the points they deducted. However, when I remembered that I was going to be confined, I was immediately forced.
"Yes, there is one more thing. When Mr. Anderson was in the Forbidden Forest, I avoided the bad luck of being attacked by the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider and being seriously injured," Professor Broad said with a smile, "I think this is what Gran Fendor is winning 50 points."
"Okay, let\'s go first! I think they should have a good rest." Dumbledore turned to leave.
"One more thing." Professor McGonagall said suddenly.
"What\'s the matter, Minerva?" Dumbledore asked.
"What are you doing in the woods?" Professor McGonagall stared at the twin brothers severely.
Under such aggressive pressure, the twins confessed everything.
"What about the map?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"I threw that map in the Forbidden Forest." Albert started, "preventing their brains from twitching and running to the forest to die."
"Well, can I take care of my patients?" Madam Pomfrey walked over and brought sleeping potions to the three of them.
"Drink it, it will give you a good night\'s sleep."
Albert can guess what it is.
A serving of life and death
Under Madam Pomfrey\'s gaze, Albert drank the potion. The effect of the potion was immediate. He felt that his eyelids were heavy, and he closed his eyes irresistibly, and his dreamless sleep enveloped Albert.
...
"Well, you can go back to the dormitory and rest!" Outside the school hospital, Professor McGonagall said to Li Qiaodan: "Your approach is very sensible, and you won 10 points for Gryffindor."
After Li Jordan left, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall looked at Professor Broad.
"Mr. Anderson is basically right. However, I am also shocked that he could find Mr. Weasley." Professor Broad said with emotion: "He is undoubtedly a talented genius. By the way, there is something I think Tell you."
"what\'s up?"
"I think I should resign early. This position will really bring doom and misfortune." Professor Broad smiled bitterly, "Before the curse hurts me, it is undoubtedly a very wise choice to resign early~www .mtlnovel.com~What\'s the secret treasure of Gryffindor that Mr. Weasley said about?" Professor McGonagall suddenly raised the map and frowned.
"There have indeed been similar legends, but this is not certain. You know, legends are not necessarily reliable, although they may have some historical basis."
"I\'ve heard of similar legends." Professor Broad said. "Some people claim that the Big Four each left their own secret treasures in Hogwarts. They contained priceless treasures, possibly gold. , Prophecies and other powerful magic items."
"There is indeed such a legend in Hogwarts Castle, but the legend is only a legend after all, and no one has found the so-called secret treasure." Dumbledore said softly.
The three of them were silent. They all had their own judgment, so naturally they would not easily believe the so-called legend.
Yes, the legend is just a legend, as if Hogwarts once circulated the legend of the secret room, but no one found the secret room left by Slytherin.
