Chapter 207： Yeah, it's really magical

Chapter 207 Well, it’s really magical

“Hey, Albert, come down!” Charlie looked up at the black shadows flying up and down over the court, feeling both relieved and helpless. When he turned to look at Fred and George next to him, they immediately turned their heads in other directions, not looking at Charlie, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with them.

 “He’s down.” Angelina said suddenly.

 In front of everyone's eyes, Albert was falling at an extremely fast speed. The speed was astonishing, as if he had jumped directly from the plane without a parachute. In the blink of an eye, they were almost in close contact with the ground.

"ah!"

 “He’s going to hit the ground.”

In the chaos, no one knew who was screaming, and some people even closed their eyes in horror, refusing to look at the tragic scene of Albert falling to the ground.

However, Albert stopped diving a few feet above the ground and ascended again. The momentum brought by the dive, mixed with the strong wind, blew everyone's hair flying.

 The next moment, exclamations and applause sounded at the same time.

 “Oh my God, how did he do it.” Arya’s face turned pale. The Weasley twins next to her were cheering loudly, while Cormac McLaggen, who was also a substitute, clenched his fists.

Whether the players are willing to admit it or not, Albert's flying skills are indeed far superior to most people. The risky move he just made, even Charlie didn't dare to try, will definitely hit the ground directly. However, Albert succeeded. To him, such an adventure was just like an exciting game.

 A few seconds later, Albert slowly descended again. After landing with his feet on the ground, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the wonderful feeling of flying at high speed on a broom. Sweeping Six Stars was even better than he expected, with just a light touch, the broom would turn as he wished.

It is undeniable that the broom itself still has some shortcomings, but Albert is still satisfied with sweeping six stars.

“That dive just now, I felt like my heart was about to stop for a few beats.” Angelina said with a smile.

"Flying great." Charlie raised his fist and lightly punched Albert's shoulder, put his arms around his neck, and said with a smile: "It's rare to have time to come to the Quidditch field, so don't think about sneaking away like this. Got it!"

After a happy day of flying, Albert returned to the Gryffindor lounge with everyone after training. They entered the lounge and found that people were buzzing about something, with excitement on their faces.

 “What happened?” Albert asked Lee Jordan. This guy was sitting by the fireplace playing wizard cards with Zannah.

“The first Hogsmeade weekend.” Lee Jordan pointed at the notice on the bulletin board and winked at the three of them, “at the beginning of November.”

A trip to Hogsmeade!

The three of them smiled knowingly. Hogsmeade was nothing to the three of them. As long as they wanted to, they could go to Hogsmeade through the secret passage at any time.

“It has nothing to do with us, does it?” Fred smiled and shrugged. The three of them returned to the dormitory and took a nice hot shower. When they returned to the common room, George got a mouse from nowhere.

 “Where did you find the mouse?” Albert’s eyes fell on the mouse held in George’s hand and he asked doubtfully.

 “What do you think?” A malicious smile appeared on the corner of George’s mouth.

"Percy's pet?" Albert reached into his pocket and took out the biscuit, opened the wrapping paper, and handed the biscuit to the mouse.

Sure enough, Banban ate happily. No wonder, he is still a human being after all. Even if he keeps turning into a mouse, he still wants to eat some decent food.

"This mouse has suffered a lot." Albert made a tut-tsk sound in his mouth and glanced at his front paws, where a toe was missing. "The lifespan shouldn't be too long. The average lifespan of a mouse is 3 or 4 years." , is considered a long time, it is very old, I kind of doubt it will survive next summer.”

“Well, do you want to go there?” Fred asked in a low voice, not paying attention to the life span of mice. “It’s best to get that thing done before Percy finds out.”

"Alright." Albert took out his magic wand and waved it, and the biscuit package turned into a slender cage. Albert put the mouse in it and left some biscuits in it before putting it into his schoolbag.

 The four of them hurriedly left the Gryffindor common room and rushed to the Room of Requirement.

"No problem, no one." Albert glanced at the Marauder's Map, looked at the name of Peter Pettigrew on it, and couldn't help but have a pleasant smile on his lips.

 Because Albert found that there are new tasks on the task panel, which is really a pleasant thing!

However, Albert did not rush to see those panel tasks, but entered the Room of Requirement, which turned into an empty room with only four walls and one door, with torches burning on the wall.

 “Okay, let’s get started!”

 Albert motioned for everyone to put on earmuffs, and then took Banban out of his schoolbag.

 “Why don’t you bring it?” Albert looked at Lee Jordan doubtfully.

“Mandrake is still underage, so he will fall into a coma at most?” Li Qiaodan didn’t care much about this matter, “Besides, didn’t you wear it too?”

 “I’ll plug my ears.” Albert said, taking out the earplugs.

“If I faint, remember to take me to the campus hospital.” Lee Jordan seemed to be planning to test the power of the mandrake cry on himself.

 The three of them looked at each other.

Albert is no longer reluctant. It will take at least a few months for the mandrake to fully mature. The lethality of crying is not very strong.

 When everyone was ready, Albert also put on earplugs and took out the magic item that stored the cry of Mandrake from his pocket.

 He raised his hand towards everyone, made a three, two, one gesture, then pressed the switch to open the container, and a harsh sound immediately sounded in the room.

The sharp and harsh sound was amplified countless times by the loud sound. Even Albert could vaguely hear the sound, but he did not feel like fainting.

Lee Jordan frowned slightly and covered his ears with his hands to resist the cry of Mandrake. He felt a little dizzy, but he did not faint.

However, the unlucky Banban fainted, perhaps because the cry was too loud.

 The next second, Mandrake's cry disappeared from the room.

Albert signaled that everyone could take off their earmuffs, looked at Lee Jordan and asked, "How's it going?"

“It seems to have some effect, I feel dizzy.” Lee Jordan said.

"The cry of mandrake can be fatal. It should be related to some kind of magic spell contained in the sound. However, after I recorded the cry and played it back, it meant that the power of the magic spell was greatly reduced. Weakened," Albert explained.

The principle is the same as the direct gaze of a basilisk. Snake eyes can kill people, but after the snake eyes are refracted through a mirror, their power will be weakened and they can only turn people to stone. Mandrake's cry can indeed kill people, but it is not yet mature and its power itself is not strong enough. Moreover, it has been severely weakened, so its lack of power is not incomprehensible.

Mandrake's cry is indeed a curse and has nothing to do with infrasound waves or anything like that. It can be considered a relatively normal thing.

"Let's go, we'd better send this poor mouse back before Percy finds it." Albert didn't want anything unpleasant to happen to the three brothers.

Having said that, Banban is still a wizard in essence, so using it for this experiment was a wrong decision in itself.
