Chapter 579 Misunderstanding
The next morning, when Albert woke up, the three beds next to him were already empty.
Last night, he had a busy night and didn't lie down to sleep until midnight, so Albert got up very late today.
However, all the efforts last night were worthwhile. The behind-the-scenes boss of the attack, Tom Riddle, and his Horcrux diary, have been clearly arranged by Albert, and the process is simpler than expected.
In short, without warning, he sneaks up on Ginny Weasley's controlling Tom Riddle, steals Tom's diary, and stashes the Horcrux in the Room of Requirement, temporarily ending Hoag Watts' recent spate of attacks.
There is nothing more worthy of celebration than this event, even if it doesn't matter if you stay in bed, you don't have to go to school on Sunday anyway.
The school is safe for the time being, and Albert is greatly relieved. Finally, he no longer needs to be nervous all day long, worrying that he will be attacked by a basilisk at any time.
After all, this matter will always be a big trouble for Albert before he finds the death stare to deal with the basilisk eyes.
Now, with Tom Riddle's diary in hand, Albert has the final say on how to concoct that guy.
When going downstairs to have breakfast, Albert noticed that the hall was still very quiet, most of the Gryffindor students were still immersed in the joy of defeating Slytherin, and no one noticed that Colin Kerry Vi was attacked and now lies dead in the ward.
Woke up in the morning, and found that Ginny, who had lost Tom's diary, was behaving strangely.
After all, no one wants their privacy to be known by others.
At noon, Albert went to the library to find Fred, George and Lee Jordan. These three guys didn't do their homework well, and they were mysterious all afternoon, and they didn't know what the **** they were doing.
"We are preparing Christmas presents for you, and you will definitely have unexpected surprises." Fred said mysteriously when Albert asked.
"Surprise, I think it's more like a shock."
Albert was not interested in the three people's Christmas gifts at all, and did not report any expectations.
"Don't you guys have to do your homework?"
Looking at these guys who were slacking off, Albert reminded cruelly, "If you don't hand in the paper on cross-species conversion tomorrow, Professor McGonagall will definitely lock you up until you finish your homework. "
"I think you don't mind borrowing from us!" The three looked at Albert with full expectation.
"I don't mind, but... I don't have to write that paper." Albert suddenly laughed maliciously.
"Why."
The voices of the three of them were so loud that all the students around them looked over.
"Because I have already written it before." Albert said without thinking, "Professor McGonagall thinks I don't need to spend extra time on this paper."
"What about your thesis?"
"At Professor McGonagall." Albert raised the corners of his mouth happily.
"Wow, how could this be like this."
"You all work hard!"
Before Mrs. Pince looked over, Albert got up and left the library.
While passing the girls' bathroom on the second floor, I saw three figures sneaking out of the girls' bathroom.
"you…"
Albert stopped, and looked at the trio in front of him quite speechlessly. He looked up as if to be sure, looked at the sign above, and whispered softly, "It's the girls' bathroom. That's right."
"We..." Hermione hesitated to speak.
"Okay, don't stay here and talk." Albert raised his hand to stop Hermione from defending, and after leading the three of them out of the corridor, he reminded, "You probably don't know that there was a Slytherin a few years ago." The boy found a lame excuse for himself, tried to break into the girls' bathroom to peep, and was caught by the girls on the spot, and now there are no girls in the school who are willing to talk to him."
Harry and Ron were speechless, opening their mouths like toads.
"Although I don't know what you guys are doing in there, but... if you don't want to be viewed in a different light by others, you'd better... stop drilling into the women's bathroom." Albert reminded kindly: "Otherwise, others will I thought you were doing something ulterior in there."
"that…"
Harry and Ron, who came back to their senses, were embarrassed. They were knocked out of the women's toilet by Albert. It really made them want to dig a hole and bury themselves on the spot.
"That... this place has been abandoned."
"You probably don't want to be regarded as perverts by the girls." Albert raised his hand and patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "This is just a kind reminder."
Looking at the back of Albert leaving, Harry and Ron were in a mess. They really wanted to tell Albert that you really misunderstood, but the other party didn't give them a chance at all.
"He won't tell Percy about this!" Ron looked at Harry uneasily, "If Fred and George knew about this, I would definitely be laughed at by them all semester."
"Don't worry, he won't." Hermione comforted, "Albert is a good man, he won't spread the word about what happened today, he's just 'for' us, and worried that we will suffer from other people's strange eyes. "
Harry was silent, he had a similar experience.
Last year, he, Neville and Hermione were deducted 150 points because of Norbert's problems. That was the most difficult time for him after he came to Hogwarts.
"Let me explain to him."
"this…"
"The "Power Potion" was borrowed from Albert." Hermione interrupted, "Maybe, Albert can give us some help."
"Did he borrow that book?" Harry was a little surprised, he remembered that Mrs. Pince seemed to say that the book was lost.
"To a certain extent, that's true." After finishing speaking, Hermione hurriedly chased after Albert's leaving figure.
"I think Hermione trusts Anderson very much." Harry lowered his voice to Ron.
"You have to admit, he's always more reliable than that idiot Lockhart." Ron remembered what he heard from Fred not long ago, and contacted what Professor McGonagall told Professor Flitwick in the morning The attack last night.
Those amulets should be very popular!
"You're right, I always feel that Anderson knows a lot of things." Harry recalled Albert's speculation about the Chamber of Secrets, maybe the other party knew more about these things than they did.
On the other side, Hermione trotted after Albert, explaining why the three of them came out of the girls' bathroom.
"This morning, Professor McGonagall told Professor Flitwick about the attack that happened last night." Hermione said in a low voice, "So, we decided to boil the compound potion first, I think it's the safest place. That room The girls' bathroom has been abandoned for many years because of Myrtle, and I don't think anyone will go in it, and no one will find out that we are secretly brewing a compound potion."
"Who was attacked?" Albert asked pretending to be puzzled.
"Colin Creevey," Hermione replied. "We think it's best to get Malfoy to come clean quickly, and he's most likely taking it out on Colin for losing the Quidditch match."
"Has the first Muggle wizard victim appeared?" Albert looked up at Hermione and reminded, "I remember you were also born in a Muggle family, so you better not be alone."
"If you're going to be brewing a compound potion, that's a good place, but it's better to be on the safe side. I heard that Potter has an invisibility cloak. You can use it to hide the eyes of others, so that others don't think it's true. Potter and Weasley have a penchant for snooping in girls' bathrooms."
