Chapter 369： darker

Chapter 369 is darker

"Filch, are you done?"

Hearing footsteps behind him, Albert turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. Seeing that Fred and George had returned to the secret passage, he asked if they had successfully dragged Filch to another floor.

"It's done!" Fred raised his hand to make an OK gesture, and grinned maliciously.

"Someone threw a few big dung bombs into the corridor on the west side of the second floor, and someone smeared frog brains on the wall." George explained for his brother, "That guy Filch is cleaning up those things while cursing. smudges.

"Are you sure you didn't mean the two of you by 'someone'." Lee Jordan laughed and teased Fred and George. He thought it was these two guys who did a good job, and the twins caused Filch a lot of trouble.

Dung bombs were thrown by Fred and George.

According to Albert's original plan, Fred and George needed to throw a few dung bombs into the corridor to attract Filch's attention, lest they break into the forbidden corridor on the fourth floor. The policeman suddenly jumped out to make trouble for them.

"I swear, that's definitely not what we did." Fred was very upset, as if Lee Jordan doubted this, and doubted their character.

"You can't slander us." George said solemnly: "Well, actually we really wanted to do that, but someone did it before us."

Lee Jordan suddenly didn't want to talk to them.

"Hurry up and go in and see what's in the restricted area of ​​the corridor. God knows when Filch will come over." Fred didn't want to talk about the topic just now.

"Is there anyone near the forbidden corridor on the fourth floor?" George looked at Albert, who was holding a Marauder's Map and kept silent.

"There are people, and there are quite a few. When you see someone diverting Filch's attention, you should think that someone wants to go in." Albert stuffed the Marauder's Map into his pocket, "Many people I'm very curious about what's in that forbidden corridor on the fourth floor."

"Then what should we do?" All three of them looked at Albert, ready to let the other party make up their minds.

"What should I do? Of course, go in with other people, and then you can't sneak around." Albert walked out from the secret passage, and asked the three people behind him to follow, and the four walked towards the restricted area in the corridor on the fourth floor.

Halfway, they also met Professor Quirrell, who is probably also looking for a way to pass the three-headed dog Lu Wei.

However, Albert did not see Tom Riddle's name on the Marauder's Map. Obviously Voldemort's half-dead state was not displayed on the Marauder's Map.

This matter had already been confirmed through the Marauder's Map as early as the second day after Albert entered school.

It's a good thing it didn't show, otherwise Fred and George would have noticed, and God knows what they would think!

Could it be that Professor Quirrell has a pet named Tom Riddle with him?

Why do you say pets?

There is already a cat named Tom in their dormitory.

Of course, even if Voldemort appeared at Hogwarts, the Marauder's map would not directly show Voldemort, but Tom Riddle.

Albert didn't use the Disillusionment Charm for everyone. He knew that Professor Quirrell was staring at this side. It would be even more strange if it was hidden and discovered. It would be better to pretend to be... Well, in fact, the four of them are indeed curious students .

Qiluo did know that many students broke into the forbidden corridor on the fourth floor, but he had no intention of stopping it. He checked the first level to protect the Sorcerer's Stone on the first day.

As for the big three-headed dog, Quirrell has not yet determined who raised it.

In Hogwarts school, apart from Professor Silvanos Ketelber in the Protection of Magical Beasts class who has the ability to tame that kind of big guy, only the big guy Hagrid in the hunting grounds can possibly tame it.

In fact, with Quirrell's ability, he can naturally subdue the three-headed dog, but he is worried that he will make too much noise, so he has no idea to do it for the time being, because he may only have one chance. Once he fails, Dumbledore will Will not give him another chance.

When Albert approached Professor Quirrell, he could smell the strange smell on him.

He felt that the smell was probably due to Voldemort's possession of Quirrell.

After Professor Quirrell walked away, Fred said in a low voice: "Have you noticed that the big scarf on Professor Quirrell's head emits a strange smell?"

Last time, the classroom was full of garlic smell, and everyone didn't notice it, but this time it was different, the smell from that scarf was really strong.

"Maybe, the scarf is stuffed with garlic." George said without thinking, "Why don't we try to sell the garlic cross to Professor Quirrell?"

"That's a good idea," Fred agreed.

Albert's mouth twitched.

Everyone said that in order to drive away a vampire he met in Romania, Professor Quirrell was afraid that the vampire would come back to trouble him, so he made himself smell bad, so that he could guard against vampires at any time.

This matter is probably false, and it is the excuse Quirrell made for himself.

As for how to deal with Voldemort, isn't there the savior Harry Potter?

At that time, if it is really necessary, Albert can inadvertently give Potter a small hint to let the passionate savior rush forward.

When the four of them sneaked past, they found that there were already people sneaking around. There was no doubt that these people were here looking for an opportunity to quickly pass through the door.

"I think Professor Quirrell must know what they want to do!" Fred pointed to the few people in front of him, and couldn't help complaining.

No way, it's too obvious, and people can see the flaws at a glance.

"Professor Quirrell didn't stop them." Lee Jordan looked at Albert very puzzled.

"Actually, Principal Dumbledore doesn't care too much about other people entering the so-called restricted area, otherwise he will use a more powerful protection spell on that door, and no student will be able to open the door then."

"you're right!"

"You also have to explore that forbidden corridor," Albert walked to Truman's side, reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Alas! It turned out to be Albert, I was taken aback!" Truman turned his head and saw Albert, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

"This is not allowed!" Albert teased: "You, a Hufflepuff prefect, actually plan to take the lead in violating the school rules yourself."

"Didn't you come here yourself?" Truman smiled and looked at the door and said to Albert: "Everyone is very curious about what is in the restricted area. Someone has already entered it just now."

"I heard Filch is throwing a tantrum on the second floor, what 'good thing' did you do?"

"You Gryffindor senior students threw it, and I saw it at the time." Truman was a little guilty when he talked about this, because he tricked Peeves into making graffiti on the frog's brains.

Of course, Truman wouldn't tell anyone about it and pretend he didn't know anything.

He counted the number of people, and said to Albert: "There are so many people, it is easy to be discovered when they go in together."

"As long as Filch is no longer here, the professors at the school basically don't care about it, otherwise you think how they opened that door."

Albert began to greet Fred and the others to enter the restricted area of ​​the corridor.
