Exchange of Secrets
In the early morning, Albert had just woken up from a light sleep. The surroundings were pitch dark. He was not sure what time it was, but he could clearly feel the shallow breathing of the other roommates around him.
Albert quietly got out of the bed and was about to change his clothes, when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"We thought you would sleep until dawn."
"So, George, you lose." Fred sat on the edge of the bed and looked at his brother Twins with a smile, "I said a long time ago that Albert will definitely wake up."
"Okay, you win." George nodded a little depressed.
"Good evening." Albert put on a sweater, looked at the two roommates and asked, "Together?"
"Of course."
"It's a pity that Li·Jordan really fell asleep!"
"What should I do? Do I want to wake him up?"
The two of them lit their wands and raised them to the other bed. Looking at their roommate who was breathing evenly, they both shook their heads and said, "Give up, I can't wake you up!"
"Then don't wake him up." Albert was putting on thick clothes on himself, wrapping the towel Nia gave him around his neck, and casually reminded him, "It's very cold at night, so put on clothes to avoid catching a cold!"
"We have been prepared for a long time." This is not Twins's first night trip, and he has more experience than Albert.
The three of them quietly went downstairs. Gryffindor's Common Room was already empty, and the fire had long been extinguished.
"Shall I use Disillusionment Charm for you now?" After Albert briefly adjusted his Winter cloak, he raised his wand and said to Twins beside him, "Wait a minute, follow closely when you go out, don't lose it."
"Where are you going?" Fred asked curiously, "Restricted Section?"
"Yes, I'm going to borrow some books there." Albert did not deny his peek at Restricted Section, and said in a low voice, ""The Book of Spells", and..." Potent Potions", or other Potions books, I am actually very interested in Felix Felicis. Restricted Section will definitely be able to find relevant records."
"Are you going to make good luck water?" Twins looked at each other and said in unison.
"It's still a little difficult now, but I will definitely be able to do it in the future. I am confident in my Potions level." Albert has Skill Panel, so naturally I am very confident.
Felix Felicis is a good thing and he will not give up easily.
"Do you plan to sell Felix Felicis to make a fortune in the future?" Twins looked at each other, "I dare say it will be very popular. When the time comes, remember to bring us along and make a fortune together."
"This is a good idea. A small bite should be able to sell for 20 Galleon, or even higher." Albert murmured, "The Potions of the two of you is a mess. What you boiled out can only be poison."
"A small sip!"
"Twenty Galleon!"
Twins's tone instantly rose, as if he heard something unbelievable, and he completely ignored the second half of Albert's sentence.
"The value of Felix Felicis is indeed very high, but it is also very difficult to cook and the process is very complicated. It is said that only the advanced Potions Master can be brewed. It has a price but no market. After all, most people have needs." "When you are lucky." Albert reminded, "However, brewing it is very complicated. Once you make a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous. Even a master cannot guarantee that the brewing will be successful. Failure will mean that half a year of hard work has been wasted."
In fact, Albert knows that Felix Felicis cannot bring real "good luck", but he needs the effect of the potion, and drinking it is equivalent to adding a powerful buff to himself.
Having everything go your way can be considered a kind of "good luck" to a certain extent.
The most important thing is that he has Skill Panel and an experience pool. After mastering the skills first, when necessary, he can suddenly transform into an expert in making Felix Felicis.
Felix Felicis has undoubtedly aroused the interest of Twins. The potion that can bring good luck can also be sold for a large sum of money. If you really master it, it means getting rich. Although they do not specifically pursue wealth, they also know very well what it feels like to be poor.
If you can have money, no one wants to be poor.
"Okay, I'm going to use Disillusionment Charm." Albert looked at the two of them and asked, "Who comes first."
"No, you don't need to use Disillusionment Charm, we have a better way."
"A better way?" Albert naturally knows what they mean by a better way, but at this time, he should pretend that he knows nothing.
"Use this." Like magic, Twins took out an old piece of parchment from his pocket and waved it in front of Albert like a treasure.
"What is this?" Albert lowered his voice, deliberately making his tone sound doubtful, so as not to reveal any flaws. He didn't know about Marauder's Map.
In fact, even if the surroundings were dark, Fred and George would not notice the expression on Albert's face.
"Map, do you still remember the good things we got from Filch's "Confiscated Materials, Highly Dangerous" drawer?" Fred reminded.
"Oh, this is what you got from Filch, an old piece of parchment?" Albert raised his wand and moved it towards the old parchment. There was nothing on it.
"Invisibility Magic, or Invisible Ink?"
"This is a map, Hogwarts's map. It requires a special password to use. However, you are right, it can hide the information inside." George raised his wand and clicked on the map, muttering, "I solemnly swear that I have done no good deeds."
"Didn't he do anything good?" Albert felt a little want to laugh, but he still nodded seriously and said, "It's true that he didn't do anything good."
Changes soon appeared on the map. Countless Inks and interlaced lines outlined a map of the castle.
"It is really a wonderful map. It is not difficult to see the good intentions of the maker." Albert said softly, "There is also a very high-end Tracking Magic on it."
"What magic?" George asked in confusion.
"Tracking Magic." Albert explained. "The maker used Tracking Magic on the map, and his skills are not low."
"Yes, he will mark the location of everyone in the castle." Fred winked at Albert and said, "Just after twelve o'clock, Filch really got up and patrolled around, trying to catch you, but unfortunately... you hadn't woken up at the time, so his trip was in vain."
"So... do you know that the locations of those secret passages are also related to this map?" Albert asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Yes, I did know it from Marauder's Map." Brother Twins whispered, "Don't tell Li Jordan about this yet."
"I know." Albert expressed understanding, "However, I think there are some secrets in the school that you definitely don't know."
"What secret?" Twins said in unison.
"The broom cabinet you were looking for earlier." Albert said mysteriously.
"Did you find the broom closet?"
"That's not a broom closet. Come with me." Albert smiled mysteriously, "You will be surprised later."
