Chapter 737： add oil

After Albert delivered the prepared Christmas gifts to the house elves, the Christmas holiday was approaching quietly.

The Christmas atmosphere in Hogwarts Castle is even stronger. There are twelve Christmas trees in the auditorium as in previous years. The stair railings are wrapped in holly and metal foil. A large bunch is hung at every other segment of the corridor. Mistletoe, girls like to gather together under the mistletoe, looking forward to the romantic kiss from the dreamy Prince Charming.

By the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room, Fred and George were equally excited about the arrival of the holiday. The two were discussing, waiting for the day when they boarded the Hogwarts Express and left school, quietly preparing Filch with an unexpected surprise.

"Where are you going for the Christmas holidays?" Lee Jordan reached out and poked Tom, who was lying by the fireplace. "Are you going to vacation abroad again?"

"I don't plan to go anywhere. I plan to stay at home for the whole holiday."

Recently, Herb has been running around, so the Anderson family has no plans to go out on holiday this year during the Christmas holiday, and are ready to stay at home for the winter.

"Oh, by the way, I asked my father to help investigate the incident last time, and I just received a reply not long ago."

"What's the matter?"

Fred and George had obviously forgotten what it was.

"Investigating the rent of the Diagon Alley shop is higher than expected, and there is no suitable rental shop." Lee Jordan took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Albert, saying to Fred and George. "Unless you are willing to open stores in those very bad locations. Of course, there are still many shops waiting to be rented out in Fanpou Alley, and the prices are quite cheap, but you also know that the security there is not good.

"What do you think should be done?"

After Fred and George looked at each other, they looked at Albert together to see if the other party had a good solution to the problem.

"After waiting for two years, I believe I can find a suitable location. The house price at that time will not be too expensive. You can pick a good location and buy it directly. So you still have to finish the seventh grade. Don’t think about it in advance. Drop out of school.

"What will happen in two years."

All three of them understood the hint in Albert's words, and it was obvious that something bad would happen in two years.

In fact, this is not the first time Albert hinted at this.

"A while ago, when I went to Hogsmeade Village, I heard Professor McGonagall and other professors talking about Sirius Black in the Three Broomsticks." Albert changed the subject.

"What about Black?"

The three of them were all very interested in this matter, but considering that they were in the common room and the people around were chatty, they didn't specifically ask Albert about the follow-up of this matter.

When he returned to the dormitory to rest, Albert would naturally share Blake's affairs with the three of them.

"Harry's father is actually good friends with Black, and Sirius Black is actually Harry's godfather?"

The three of them opened their mouths and listened to the whole story in shock with their faces.

"If Harry knew about this, he would be very angry," George murmured.

"He knows." Albert threw another blockbuster.

"Harry knew, how could he know?"

The three of them couldn't understand, looking at Albert blankly, waiting for the other person to explain to them.

"At that time, Potter was also there, and he was hiding under the invisibility cloak, and happened to hear the conversation between Professor McGonagall." Albert looked at the three people who were gradually opening their mouths, just like this.

"There are some things that really can't be said everywhere." Lee Jordan mumbled.

"I also found a secret."

"What's the secret?"

"About the identity of the makers of the live map." Albert motioned to several people to keep quiet, slowly speaking out his guess about the identity of the robbers.

Fred, George, and Jordan Lee were shocked after listening to them, especially since they learned that Professor Lupin was a werewolf, they kept murmuring things like no wonder.

"No wonder, Professor Lupin takes sick leave every once in a while."

"Professor Dumbledore must be crazy. How could he hire a werewolf?" Li Jordan looked at Albert in disbelief. "Don't you know how dangerous a werewolf is? Besides, he doesn't worry that Professor Lupin will help. Black invaded Hogwarts Castle?"

"I don't think Blake needs to do this." Fred clearly pointed out this point. "If Blake is involved in the production of the map of the spot, he can get in and out of Hogwarts easily."

"Screaming Cabin, do you remember Screaming Cabin? I dare say that the werewolf hiding in it and transforming back then must be Professor Lupin." George speculated, "The timing is perfect."

"Since they are friends, Blake must also know the situation in the Screaming Cabin. Do you think he will hide in the Screaming Cabin now." Fred jumped out of the bed excitedly. He thought he might have found Blake's Whereabouts, "Maybe, we should tell the Ministry of Magic, and we can earn a reward."

"It's impossible for the Dementor to not inspect the Screaming Hut." George shook his head. "The dementors must have carefully checked the places where people can hide around Hogwarts. As long as Blake is hidden nearby, he can't hide from him. The hunt for ghosts."

"I know when Black will appear." Albert said suddenly.

"What?" George asked excitedly, "Did you get the divination?"

"Yes, on the day Hagrid's eagle-headed horse-winged beast was executed, we will go to ambush and catch Black, but the dementors will come out to disrupt the situation, and there will be a lot of trouble..."

"We caught Black?"

"If you want to catch Black with me and get that generous reward, it's best to hurry up and exercise yourself.

"Are we going to face the dementors?" Lee Jordan's face was a bit ugly. He somewhat understood why Albert urged them to practice the patron saint.

Originally they had similar ideas, but they have now been thoroughly confirmed. Although they had been psychologically prepared, the pressure was still great, and the three weak guardians could not resist the dementors at all.

"Although the prediction implies that we caught Black and drove the dementors away, it does not mean the result. If you don't work hard, it will be difficult to say whether the result will come true."

Albert knows the truth that money can make ghosts grind, and can also use money to make the three of them burst out of unlimited potential.

He needs other helpers to prevent any accidents.

"With this money, our shop plan will definitely be fine." Fred said excitedly. That was ten thousand gallons, even if they each got only one thousand gallons in the end, it was enough.

Albert was very satisfied with the performance of the three, and the interest stimulus really aroused the high enthusiasm of the three.

That night, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were all working hard to practice their patron saint spell.

The three of them worked hard for one night, and the result was that the spirit of the next day was a little sluggish. Moreover, there is not much gain, it is a bit of a blow to people's confidence.

However, after Albert linked the patron saint of summoning to a lot of Kanon, Fred and George showed enthusiasm that they did not have before, and even Lee Jordan was shocked by this.

With efforts and corrections time and time again, although Fred and George's patron saint was still a silver mist, the mist was more solid than before. Albert had to feel the charm of Jin Jialong again.

"I have to work harder, otherwise I will become a dragger." Lee Jordan saw Fred and George training the patron saint curse so hard, and followed them to practice, not wanting to be a dragger.

On the day of leaving school, the four of them were chatting about the Patronus Mantra in the Yeqi carriage.

In fact, they have been talking about this topic for several days recently, and it's just like an enchantment.

Albert never doubted the potential of the trio. As long as he continued to practice, he might be able to master the Patronus Curse earlier than Harry Potter.

After entering the village of Hogsmeade, the carriage slowed down and finally stopped at the train station in Hogsmeade.

After getting off the train, people took their luggage and rushed towards the open train door.

Most students choose to go home for Christmas. Perhaps Black’s incident frightened them, just like last year’s attack.

"Mom originally wanted to invite Harry to the house for Christmas, but then she seemed to think it would be safer for Harry to stay in school." Fred muttered.

"This is the price of becoming a savior!" Albert tightened the towel on his body, raised his magic wand and directed the luggage to be unloaded from the carriage.

"Come on, let's talk about getting on the train, I don't want to blow the cold wind here." Lee Jordan shivered, pulling his luggage and squeezing forward.

The three people pulled their luggage and rushed towards the door of the carriage. Several train station staff were helping everyone put their luggage on the train.

When it was almost Albert's turn, he suddenly felt that the surrounding air was getting colder, and white mist was exhaled from his mouth, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees.

"Look over there, it's dementors. They seem to be coming over here."

I don't know who was screaming, and the noise of the entire platform suddenly stopped.

The next moment, the platform suddenly became noisy, and the crowd was crowded into the carriage, as if only in the carriage could they be kept away from the evil monsters.

Even the platform personnel who helped carry the luggage were a little flustered. For wizards who did not master the patron saint, the dementors were almost irresistible.

People feel instinctively afraid of this monster that **** happiness and brings depression and despair to themselves.

Crowded, shoved, chaos in front of the carriage.

Damn it!

Albert felt that someone stepped on his foot, a baggage was hurting him, and someone was pushing him behind, almost causing him to fall.

Tom in the cage seemed to feel the restless atmosphere around him and became irritable.

Are the people at the Ministry of Magic all idiots?

Don't they know the consequences of chaos in such a place?

He remembered what Fudge had said on Three Broomsticks, and the guy actually advocated letting the Dementors enter Hogwarts Castle to "help".

OMG!

What is a dementor, wouldn't he know?

To say that Fudge is an idiot is really correct at all.

"Quiet, stay where you are, everyone stays where you are."

Albert put his earplugs on Tom and put his fingers on his throat, and the loud voice resounded throughout the train station.

Albert didn't expect that he could stop everyone, but he could make his voice loud enough to make all the students' eardrums sore that he had to raise his hand to cover his ears.

There is no doubt that this method is very effective.

The original chaos was suddenly suppressed, and everyone was covering their ears in pain, wishing that someone would go and block the mouth of the shouting guy.

Albert removed his hand from his throat and reached out to pull up a fallen girl from the crowd. At the same time, he drew his wand and shot a silver light at the dementors floating around.

As if feeling Albert's emotions, the lion-headed eagle head directly slammed into the dementors and drove them away from the students.

The dementors roared angrily, seeming to be annoyed by someone obstructing their official duties, but they still had no intention of leaving here.

Albert's patron saint looked a bit lonely, not as powerful as he imagined. In fact, it was more because the summoning land was too rushed.

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan also raised their wands to try to summon the patron saint, but they could only summon a ray of silver mist, which was of no use at all.

At this moment, there was a silver white fox in the carriage flying into the air, and the two patron saints immediately let the dementors surrounding them stay away from the train.

"What the **** are you doing?"

The two Aurors hurriedly walked towards this side, apparently also noticing what was happening here.

They didn't even think that someone would interfere with the dementor's routine check, and no one would dare to do so under normal circumstances.

After all, there are very few wizards who master the curse of the patron saint.

"I also want to ask you what the **** are you doing." Albert handed the luggage to Fred next to him, and gave the Tom cat cage to George. When trying to push the crowd away, the surrounding students all volunteered to let him. A way out.

Albert walked up to the young Auror and asked in a more indifferent tone than the other person: "What the **** are you doing, why are you letting the dementors come here? Are you planning to treat us as food for the dementors? ?"

"These dementors are only doing official duties," the young Auror said in a standard tone. "You are obstructing the Ministry of Magic's official duties."

"Let the dementors **** the happy emotions of the students, leading to chaos, crowding, pushing and stomping on each other. Don't tell me, the Ministry of Magic uses this method to protect the safety of Hogwarts students." Ai Bert's tone could not help being raised a few points, which made people clearly feel his dissatisfaction, and it also stirred up other people's emotions very well.

Sometimes, what is missing is a leader.

The young Auror seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by another Auror because he found all the students were glaring at them Get out of here, we don't need the protection of the dementors. "

I don't know who took the lead, and then someone threw something at the two Aurors, and a big dung egg slapped the young Auror directly.

"Go to her mother to get in the way of official business!"

"A bunch of trash, haven't caught Black for so long."

...

The young Auror's face was blue, and he raised his hand to block the thrown object.

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to leave, and also drew out his wand, I don't know who hid in the crowd and threw magic at the two Aurors.

In the commotion just now, many people were knocked and bumped, and there was nowhere to vent their anger. This was great, and everyone’s dissatisfaction was immediately exploded.

Before the young Auror could react, the other hurriedly took his arm and Apparated and left before more magic was thrown at them.
