Chapter 204: Failure (1/2)
It is late at night.
In the quiet corridor, faint footsteps came from a distance.
At the corner of the dark corridor, a pale light suddenly lit up. However, there was no one behind the ball of light, like a ghost floating in the void.
For a moment, the ball of light stopped in front of the portrait of the fat lady. The lady who was just about to rest was obviously dissatisfied that she was disturbed by someone sleeping. She opened her eyes before she had time to ask for the password. She was shocked to find the door behind her The man opened from the inside.
”The time is just right.” Lee Jordan's voice came from the dark passage.
The ball of light floated into the passage, and the portrait of the fat lady closed again, blocking the entrance passage of the Gryffindor common room.
The gatekeeper lady still looked like **** at the moment.
In fact, the people in the corridor just now were Fred and George. They were also invisible with the phantom curse. When using the luminous curse, they felt like a ghost floating in the void.
And Gryffindor’s door would suddenly open, in fact, because the twins had arranged a time with Lee Jordan, and when they came back on time, Lee Jordan opened the door of the Gryffindor common room from inside to let them Come in so you can bypass the fat lady.
”What did you get?” Lee Jordan asked, rubbing his hands.
”Butter biscuits.” Fred took out the greased paper bag and looked at Lee Jordan who reached out to grab it with a reproachful look. ”Go back to the dormitory and eat.”
”You must have eaten in the kitchen.” Lee Jordan said with his lips.
This is inevitable!
For a moment, the common room fell into silence again, and the three people's footsteps gradually faded away.
The door of a certain dormitory was pushed open without warning.
A dark shadow was quietly approaching the back figure sitting in the armchair.
”What is supper?” the person in the armchair suddenly said.
”Butter cookies,” one person said.
”Want?” the other person asked while eating.
”It's almost finished by that guy.” The third person said.
”Leave me some.” Albert took a deep breath, and after lifting the phantom spell for the two of them, he took a sip of the cold milk tea, and examined the transfiguration paper he had just written before.
”You look tired?” Fred handed Albert a cup of freshly brewed milk tea, glanced at the paper next to him and said: ”Doing so many things for yourself, this is not asking for trouble. ?”
”Thank you.” Albert took the teacup, but did not drink the milk tea in it, turned his head and stared at Fred and said, ”If you don't need to bite your nose and give me milk tea for the teacup, I will thank you even more.”
Fred was also taken aback.
George chuckled aside, because he gave Fred the teacup.
Albert glanced at George, then moved his gaze to Lee Jordan, who was immersed in the supper, and said, ”Leave me some butter biscuits. I am a little hungry. Don’t think I don’t know you want to take the last piece. Leave it to me.”
Lee Jordan opened his mouth, unexpectedly being seen through by Albert.
Not long ago, Albert raised the idea of contemplation and Occlumency to Level 2 and Level 3 respectively. Although the experience was a bit painful for him, Albert knew this was a necessary process.
Occlumency is like a protective shield for thinking. With this skill, he does not need to worry about his thoughts being easily seen through.
If not for the skill points have been used up, Albert wants to upgrade Occlumency to Level 4.
This kind of protection is too important for Albert. As a traverser, he does not want people to know his secrets anyway.
Moreover, if he wants to tell Dumbledore about Ravenclaw's crown, he has to invest more experience and skill points in this area.
Of course, it's worth it. Tom's Horcrux mission can provide him with plenty of experience afterwards!
”How about the wizard cards of other colleges?” Albert reached out and took the greased paper bag that Lee Jordan handed over, took out a butter biscuit from it, stuffed it into his mouth and asked while chewing.
”Ravenclaw has confirmed more than 20 cards. Hufflepuff has fewer cards, only 18.” Lee Jordan thought for a while and said, ”Right, there are two more plans today. Joining our club, they all hope to have their own cards.”
”Yeah.” Albert replied noncommittal.
”The three of us have already started to practice copying mantras, which should reduce your stress.
In fact, it is not without benefits to have been copying wizard cards. Albert's copying spell has already risen to the second level.
”By the way, I've always been curious, what is in that box?” Fred asked, pointing his finger at a box on Albert's bed cabinet.
”If you want to know, bring it over.” Albert didn't intend to hide it from them.
After getting permission, George quickly brought the box over. He was also curious about what was inside. Last time, he saw Albert put the protective bracelet inside.
After the box is opened, there are three middle finger-long metal objects on the first floor. The appearance is beautiful silver, which looks a bit like a cylindrical lighter.
”A failed product made a while ago.” Albert explained helplessly to the three.
”What's this?” George picked up an item in confusion, looked at the sun-like pattern on the surface, turned his head and asked.
”Open it and take a look at you.” Albert said blankly.
The three looked at each other, and finally George pressed on it. Then, they saw the top of the object opened, and a ball of light flew out of it. After the ball floated into the air, it suddenly emitted a dazzling white light.
