The Alchemist of Harry Potter

The search of the castle continued until about three in the night, but of course nothing was found. It seemed that Blake had never broken into Hogwarts Castle.

Professor Dumbledore should have expected such a result, but he still had to let the professors search the entire castle, so that the teachers and students in the school could feel at ease, and it could be regarded as an explanation for the dementors stationed outside the school. .

It was hard work for the professors and prefects who searched the castle. They couldn't sleep a night, especially when they were full and sleepy, it was really hard to hold on.

By the time Albert and Shanna returned to the Great Hall, everyone was asleep, save for the spirited Percy and the sleepy prefects who were still vigil.

Sure enough, rather than staying at night, it is better to walk outside, at least talk to the people around you, and find an excuse to be lazy and paddling.

It was not until after dawn that the prefects and student council presidents of the vigil were allowed to go back to sleep, and the ghosts would take their place.

As for the morning class, it was naturally cancelled.

Sir Cadogan, who temporarily took over for the Fat Lady, was a rude guy. When he saw Albert, he provoked him with rude abuse and planned to fight Albert.

"If you can get out of the painting, I'll fight you."

Albert stretched out his hand to cover his yawn, not wanting to listen to the other party's nonsense here, and said directly, "The password is 'mongrel', now open the door."

Sir Cadogan reluctantly put them in the common room.

The four of them went back to the dormitory to rest. Since the password to enter the lounge, Nick, who was almost headless, was responsible for telling the other Gryffindor students.

When Albert woke up again, it was noon.

Tom bowed in front of the cat basin, shook his tail after hearing the movement, and continued to bury his head in eating, until Albert reached out and stroked his head before he stopped eating.

"It's time for you to lose weight." Albert picked up Tom, stroked its fat belly, and muttered, "If you hadn't been raised since childhood, I would have suspected that you were a hairy pig."

Meow!

Tom protested that Albert interrupted his meal, and tried to use the cat pad to push Albert's hand away.

"Although fat cats are really good-looking, they can't be too fat. Be careful that they can't walk."

Albert let go of the fat cat and looked at Tom, who was eating again, and decided to leave Tom to the care of the house-elf Bit while he was going to the magic school potions tournament, and let the house-elf keep an eye on Tom. Run rollers every day.

With enough exercise, Tom's fat will soon disappear.

After washing up, Albert planned to go downstairs to eat. As soon as he opened the door, he found that the door of the common room was crowded with Gryffindor students.

"What are you doing here?" Albert asked suspiciously.

"Thank goodness, someone finally opened the door." Neville's tears were about to fall.

"He said the password was wrong and he wouldn't let us in," a senior boy said angrily. "The password in the morning was clearly still 'mongrel dog'."

"The password has been changed," said Sir Cadogan.

"What is the password now?" Albert asked Sir Cadogan.

"I can't tell you." Sir Cadogan refused to reveal the password to Albert.

"If you change the password, you have to tell the prefect in advance, otherwise the prefect doesn't even know. Are you going to let everyone stay outside and stare?" Albert looked at the portrait on the door and said in a commanding tone, "Okay, tell me what the password is now."

Although the door of the common room was open, many students did not intend to enter immediately, and were prepared to stay outside and watch Sir Cadogan deflate.

"What's the matter?" Percy saw the corridor outside the common room crowded with students and hurried towards this direction.

"I was negotiating with Sir Cadogan. He seemed to have changed his password, but he didn't tell the prefect. A lot of people were blocked at the door just now." Albert said impatiently, "I doubt this guy very much. Purely for the pleasure of making trouble with students."

Many students immediately agreed and expressed their dissatisfaction with the rude knight in charge of the gate.

"It's Sir Cadogan," growled the portrait at the crowd.

"To shut up."

"The password is: Pony." Percy frowned and said to Sir Cadogan, "If you change the password, you should tell the prefect as soon as possible, it is your responsibility, I think Professor Dumbledore I should have told you."

"He seems to have mentioned it." Ser Cadogan pouted and rode away on his pony.

"No other painting is willing to do this job," Percy explained to the resentful people. "Sir Cadogan is the only one who has come forward. Even if you complain, it's no use. We have no other choice at the moment."

After finishing speaking, Percy turned to Albert again and said, "By the way, Professor McGonagall has something for you. You'd better go to her office."

"understood."

Albert went to Professor McGonagall's office first, as expected for the Magic School Potions Championship.

"Tonight, pack your things, someone will pick you up for the competition tomorrow morning." Professor McGonagall said straight to the point.

"Who leads the team?" Albert asked with raised eyebrows.

"Professor Slughorn has a wealth of experience in leading teams, and is willing to take you to the Potions Tournament. He was also the Potions Professor at Hogwarts, but he has retired." Professor McGonagall looked at Albert asked, "Any other questions?"

"there is none left."

It's not hard for Albert to guess why Professor Slughorn was willing to help lead the team.

Professor Slughorn likes to associate with famous, successful, powerful people.

Albert clearly echoes the first two points.

Leaving Professor McGonagall's office and entering the hall, everyone was talking about how Black entered the castle.

"How many ways are there now?" Albert asked Lee Jordan, who had just sat beside him.

"I can't count," said Lee Jordan, clasping his fingers. "Most people think Blake is Apparating."

"Apparitions are forbidden at Hogwarts." Albert began to make himself a ham and sausage sandwich.

"I know that the guy who can say this is simply not knowing enough about Hogwarts school." Lee Jordan complained, "I think they just want to attract everyone's attention."

"I agree with this." Albert took a bite of the sandwich, the bacon was very salty.

"Some people say that Blake flew into the school on a broom, and some people say that he disguised himself as a dementor to deceive the gatekeeper." After speaking, Lee Jordan looked at Albert who was eating a sandwich and asked, "What do you think? Which one is it?"

"Enter the castle through the secret passage." Albert said while eating.

"Fred and George thought the same thing. They went to check the secret passage to the outside of the castle in the morning." Lee Jordan said in a voice that they could hear.

"Have you found anything?"

"I don't know, they haven't come back yet." Lee Jordan naturally knew that there were several passages to get in and out of the school, he was a little worried that Fred and George would get into trouble, and Blake might be hiding in the secret passage now.

"Don't worry, Blake must have left." Albert finished his sandwich and said to Lee Jordan, "By the way, I'm going to the Potions Championship tomorrow and have to leave school for a while."

"When will you come back?"

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be too long, maybe I'll be back the next day."

"After winning the championship, remember to treat your guests." Lee Jordan reached out and tapped Albert's shoulder lightly, "I have confidence in you."

Honestly, Lee Jordan has a lot of sympathy for students at other schools who are competing against Albert. This guy is like a train, whoever gets in the way will be ruthlessly run over.

"I thought it was you who helped me celebrate." Albert's tone was strange.

"You are so embarrassed to let us invite you. I heard that the champion can get a big bonus."

"Who said that?" Albert asked.

"Fred and George."

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful of our whistleblowing, we never said that." Fred and George came to their side.

"Did you find anything?" Albert asked.

"No." George shook his head, "but I still think Blake entered the castle through the secret passage."

"Would you like to tell the professors?"

"Tell them what to do?"

Fred disagreed.

Albert asked Fred and George to get some chalk dust and scatter them in those hidden passages. If someone entered the school through the secret passage, they would definitely leave footprints. Then they would be able to figure out when Black entered the secret passage. school.

"You think Black will continue to invade Hogwarts." George immediately realized what Albert meant.

"Black wouldn't give up easily, or he wouldn't have been in the castle last night."
