The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 764: Sourness

Although it has entered March, the weather around Hogwarts is still very cold, and I don't know if it is affected by a large number of dementors, and the snow around the castle has only now begun to melt.

Albert walked through the muddy fields and followed the gravel path to the hunting lodge on the edge of the forbidden forest. There seemed to be something on the road that caught his attention. Albert squinted his eyes and looked towards the woods. He found a black dog by the woods, walking secretly on the lawn. There was a cat beside the black dog, Hermione. Crookshanks, it was walking fast with the black dog. A cat and a dog seemed to perceive Albert's gaze and quickly disappeared into the forest.

Albert regained his sight and walked towards Hagrid's hunting lodge.

There was light in the window of the hunting lodge. When Albert came up and knocked on the door, there was a beating inside the house, and Hagrid's voice then sounded: "Go back, Ya Ya, go back."

"Sorry, I am looking for you at this time."

Hagrid opened the door and let Albert into the house.

"It's okay." Albert noticed Hagrid sticking his head out of the door, and after carefully observing his surroundings, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know," Hagrid said casually. "There has always been a weird feeling these days, it seems that someone is staring here, maybe someone from the Ministry of Magic, they are probably worried that I will let Buckbeak go without authorization."

"Someone is watching you?"

Albert walked to the window and secretly observed the situation outside.

"There is no one around the hut, otherwise Yaya would have warned, but I always felt a little weird." Hagrid muttered and walked to the fireplace, preparing to boil a pot of water to make tea for Albert.

Albert is sure he is not from the Ministry of Magic. Those people don’t know how to do such things. Lucius Malfoy still wanted Hagrid to secretly let Buckbeak go, so that he could find an excuse to throw people into Azkaban. prison.

Albert had already guessed what was going on, and took out the map from his pocket to check the surroundings of Hagrid's cabin.

There are five names in the cabin. In addition to him, Hagrid, Yaya, and Buckbeak, there is also a guy who should have died: Pettigrew Peter.

He really hid in Hagrid's hunting lodge.

No wonder Sirius Black and Crookshanks appear nearby.

"Did you find anything?" Hagrid asked, turning his head.

"A mouse," Albert said softly.

"A mouse?" Hagrid was even more confused.

"Yes, a mouse." Albert cast a closed ears listening spell without warning to prevent Peter from eavesdropping on the next conversation between the two.

"Oh, that's okay. I often have mice here to steal food. I saw one a while ago." Hagrid didn't care about it and said casually, "Or, you can lend me the cat."

"My Tom can't catch mice." Albert said helplessly. He actually wanted to introduce Hermione's Crookshanks to Hagrid, but thought that doing so might scare Peter away, and finally gave up.

"How can cats catch mice?" Hagrid felt incredible.

Albert didn't answer this, his gaze fell on Buckbeak, the eagle-headed horse-winged beast also raised his head and stared at Albert, without any sense of danger that he was going to lose his head.

"You have to rename it later. Buckbeak can't use it anymore." Albert stepped forward and looked into Buckbeak's eyes, completely ignoring Hagrid's warning of "careful", and reached out to touch it. Head.

"You should be careful." Hagrid somewhat blamed Albert for his reckless behavior. "However, you are right. I will give him a new name."

He took the boiling kettle from the fireplace and poured it into a large teapot. While pouring a cup of black tea for Albert, he put a piece of chocolate cake in front of Albert, together with a piece of parchment paper. , That was a notice from the Ministry of Magic to Hagrid.

Albert opened the letter, and after reading it quickly, he raised his head and said to Hagrid, "The current situation is not too bad."

"Not too bad?"

"At least the Ministry of Magic didn't bring any servants to listen to your appeal."

Albert picked up the cup of hot tea, gently blown off the heat, took a sip, and said, "I guess after the appeal fails this time, the next time the appeal is made, the Ministry of Magic will come and listen to you. Appealed."

"Then what should I do?" Hagrid looked at Albert anxiously, hoping that he could give some useful advice.

Albert put down his teacup and said calmly, "You need help."

"Aren't you and Hermione always helping me?" Hagrid asked puzzledly.

"No, you misunderstood what I mean. I'm talking about professionals who help fingers." Albert explained, "In the Muggle world, there is a profession of helping people in lawsuits called lawyers."

"But there are no lawyers in the magic world," Hagrid said with wide eyes.

"I know, but you can spend money to hire a consultant who understands Ministry of Magic law and ask him to help you win this lawsuit." Albert explained.

"But don't you say that we can't win this lawsuit?" Hagrid was a little confused by Albert's words.

"Yes, we may not be able to win, but that doesn't mean we can't use this to disgust Malfoy." Albert grinned maliciously.

"Moreover, with the help of a wizard who understands the law, it can save you a lot of trouble. Of course, it would be better if you can win."

"I don't know such a person," Hagrid said awkwardly.

"I can help you ask, and then you can do this, this, and then this." Albert lowered his voice and told Hagrid about his plan.

"That's okay?" Hagrid looked at Albert dumbfounded. Is this planning to let Malfoy buy his own consultants and then divide Malfoy's money together?

"Of course it can. The Daily Prophet will definitely be happy to report these lace news. As long as they don't want this matter to be exposed, they will definitely have to buy him and make you a complete failure."

"But... why don't we just win this lawsuit?" Hagrid asked in confusion.

"Because you can't win, even if this matter is exposed, your chances of winning the lawsuit are still low. At most, it will cause Malfoy a little trouble." Albert took a bite of the chocolate cake and frowned. The taste of the cake is not very good, it is a bit hard, and it has probably been left for several days.

"So, it’s the easiest and most effective way to do it, and don’t you think it’s interesting? Malfoy and his son tried their best to kill Buckbeak. They spent a lot of Garon, but at the last minute they let it give I slipped away, I think their family will definitely be frustrated because of this!"

"You're right, the family should have been punished long ago!" Hagrid recalled what happened last semester, and had no affection for Malfoy at all.

If Albert hadn't discovered the secret of the Slytherin heir in time, maybe Ginny Weasley would be in danger, and he would be kept in Azkaban prison forever.

This plan could pit Malfoy fiercely, so it couldn't be better, and it just happened to be able to take a breath of malice.

"However, what do you plan to do with this matter? Tell me a little bit, at least let me feel at ease!" Hagrid was convinced that Albert had found a way to get Buckbeak out. He asked tentatively, "Don't you want to take the opportunity to take Buckbeak away on the day of execution!"

"Of course not. I won't use that kind of risky method." Albert shook his head and said, "However, I can't tell you the method yet. Your mouth is not reliable enough. You'd better not even think about it, and I I think it’s better not to let other people know about this, so as not to leak the news."

"Okay, okay! As long as you can save Buckbeak, everything else doesn't matter." Hagrid finally compromised, not wondering what method Albert planned to use.

"It's dark already, I'll send you back to the castle!"

Hagrid got up and prepared to **** Albert back to the castle. Although he didn't think Albert would be in danger when he returned to the castle alone, he still had to do some things.

After watching Hagrid leave, Albert found a remote corridor. After confirming that there was no one around, he directly cast a phantom charm on himself, and quietly went to the bathroom on the eighth floor, waiting for the arrival of another himself.

When he heard three knocks on the door and counted thirty seconds in his heart, when he walked out of the bathroom, Fred, George and Lee Jordan were all waiting for him outside.

"Do you really not use the responsive room on the eighth floor?" The three continued to talk about the topic just now.

"I plan to make a room by myself." Albert briefly said about his plan.

"Make a room by yourself?" Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were a little startled. They couldn't understand what Albert had done to make a new room in the castle.

"Have you forgotten that there is a magic called Wuhen Stretching Curse?" Albert reminded with a smile: "We can use the Wuhen Stretching Curse to create an empty room. Some of the things inside were moved to the room. The only problem was that we had to find a remote and secret road that basically no one knew about."

"Why not just use the room on request?" Fred couldn't understand why Albert had to bother to make a room on his own, obviously there was a ready place to use it.

"I don't want too many people to know about the existence of the responsive house? If too many people know that place, we will not be able to use it in the future." Albert explained, "Moreover, this is an attempt, and we will continue to do so in the future. This technology is used a lot."

"I think your approach is great. Others will definitely be shocked." George felt that Albert must have his reasons for doing this, so he didn't say more, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to learn from Albert. Non-marking stretch curse.

"We know a lot about secret roads." Fred said after thinking for a moment. "The secret road on the seventh floor is very suitable. I dare say that even Filch doesn't know that there is a secret road behind the portrait. ."

"If you find that the secret room used by the party has become a secret passage, you will be surprised." Lee Jordan seems to have thought that other people are planning to use the secret room outside the party, only to find that the secret room is missing.
