Albert's Little Tricks

The three of them quickly moved through the secret passage, and it took them a while to reach Seventh Floor.

After listening to Albert's story, Fred gasped slightly and felt incredible, "So, Professor Broad didn't help Filch catch you."

"Albert is an outstanding student in the eyes of professors." George joked, and then opened his mouth in surprise, because a door actually appeared on the wall opposite Troll Bashing Barnabus's tapestry.

"Sure enough..." Albert whispered softly.

"Sure enough?" Fred asked curiously.

"Nothing, just go in!" Albert opened the door and walked into Room of Requirement first.

"I didn't expect it to be true." Fred and George looked at each other, followed Albert and walked in. Their mouths were wide open. What they saw was a very beautifully decorated room that they had never seen before, with...

The excited expressions on the two people's faces couldn't help but freeze, and they looked at the various exquisite and luxurious chamber pots placed in front of them in astonishment.

Albert looked at the astonished expression on Weasley Twins's face, blinked mischievously and said, "How about it, are you surprised?"

"Did you accidentally discover it when you ran here because your bladder was extremely full?" Fred couldn't help but ask.

"How is it possible? Am I that stupid?" Albert couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Is this really the broom closet we discovered earlier?" George looked at the luxurious chamber pot here curiously. Suddenly, he had an idea and asked, "So, you need to pee urgently?"

The three of them couldn't help but laugh, and each picked a style they liked.

"However, it feels a bit strange that we really have to hide here." Fred scratched his head and said. After all, no one likes hiding in a pile of chamber potties.

"It's nothing, just go out and change another room." Albert said casually.

"This place is not within the scope of Marauder's Map. Maybe Prongs, Moony, Wormtail, and Padfoot have not discovered the secret here." George looked at Marauder's Map in his hand.

"Prongs, Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot?" Albert asked pretending to be confused.

"The maker of Marauder's Map." Fred explained.

"Oh, them." Albert nodded, "Maybe they haven't discovered it. After all, few people know Room of Requirement's secret."

"No problem, Filch is still on the fifth floor." George said after checking Marauder's Map.

After the three people left Room of Requirement, Fred asked, "Where do we want to change?"

"A place where you can rest." Albert suggested.

"I'll do it this time."

"I want it too."

Twins put his hands on each other's shoulders. After trying again, the door opened. This time, they appeared in a comfortable room with a burning fire.

"Awesome." Fred patted the armchair, "By the way, you haven't said how you found this place yet."

"I want to know too." George echoed.

"This is the result of my analysis from you. Didn't you pass by here many times at that time and you still wanted to find a place to hide?" Albert used the words he had prepared in advance. In fact, to a certain extent, his words were indeed correct.

"That's right."

"So, I took the time to try and passed by here many times, and then I wanted a place to hide." Albert explained.

"What's the result?" George asked.

"Of course it failed. I tried many times before I finally opened this door, and after sorting it out, I figured out the correct way to open it." Albert began to exaggerate the difficulty of finding this place. In fact, he succeeded on his first try.

"Later, I tried turning this room into other rooms. After trying it many times, I found the correct way to use it." Albert blinked and said, "So, I later called this place Room of Requirement. Because this room will turn into various rooms according to your needs, and it will respond to your requests. Isn't it very appropriate."

"So, you found this place through these clues?"

"That's right, I found this place through the clues you provided. I'm pretty good." Albert nodded and said, "If you want to praise me, then praise me!"

"You..." Twins swallowed back what he was about to say, but they still admired each other very much. They didn't expect Albert to find such a place just relying on this clue.

"When we do Garlic Cross, we can do it here." George suddenly said, this way, we don't need to worry about making the dormitory full of garlic smell.

"Have you not given up yet?" Albert thought they had forgotten this matter, but they didn't expect to mention it again at this time.

"Why give up? We already have enough garlic." Fred nodded, "This is the first alchemy item we made."

Albert couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He didn't know whether he should tell them that it was not really an alchemy tool.

But... he was really embarrassed to speak and shatter the bad dreams of young people.

After all, the two of them will become Prank King's men in the future.

The three rested in Room of Requirement for a long time, waiting for Filch and Professor Broad to give up on hunting them. Compared to Filch who is searching for them, Twins who is sitting by the fireplace warming himself is fighting with Albert.

There were two plates of Wizard's Chess in front of their table, and Albert easily faced two people in a one-on-one match.

"Fred, work harder, you still have a chance to turn defeat into victory." George encouraged loudly.

"How do you add it? By the way, you actually lost earlier than me." Fred looked at his brother who was sitting next to him and making sarcastic remarks, and couldn't help but roll his eyes. He knew that he was about to lose.

"Ahem." George coughed dryly and quickly changed the subject, "Filch seems to have gone back to rest. Let's go to the library."

"This is a good idea, let's go." Fred stood up immediately, preparing to give up the game.

"Uh, okay." Albert didn't expose the opponent's thoughts, but just moved the queen to checkmate Fred's king.

"You lost too." George gloated and patted Fred on the shoulder and said, "You are much better than our incompetent brother."

"Brother?" Albert asked in confusion, "The unlucky guy whose tongue was burned through by the candy."

"Ahem, that was just an accident." George coughed dryly and walked out Room of Requirement quickly.

The three of them walked towards the school library.

Hogwarts's library closes at eight o'clock in the evening. What surprised the three of them was that the library door was not locked.

Albert opened the door and walked in first. The interior of the museum was dark and eerie.

Albert raised his wand, looked around with the light of the wand, and then walked towards Restricted Section at the back of the library.

After crossing the rope that isolated Restricted Section, the surrounding atmosphere became even more gloomy.

Albert raised the wand and read the title of the book with the help of pale light.

"Help me find "The Book of Spells". And don't open those books casually, and don't take them off the bookshelf. No one knows whether these books have been cursed." Albert warned, "Remember, don't open the book, it may cause us a lot of trouble."

"I know." Twins looked at each other, but still nodded.

Looking for the books you need in the sea of books is undoubtedly a waste of time. Albert spent a long time and couldn't find what he needed.

The books in Restricted Section all look very worn. Albert is a little doubtful whether there are many unique copies stored here.

"Albert!" Fred's voice was very low, "I heard waves of faint whispers coming from some books over there."

"Whisper?" Albert frowned. Hearing Twins say this, the uninformed thought that Voldemort's Horcrux was hidden in Restricted Section.

The three of them all moved forward and pointed their wands at the peeling and faded gilt letters. They all felt the hairs on the backs of their necks stand up, and they could all hear the whispers coming from the books.

"This is Restricted Section. It's not surprising that there is such a book. Don't open it." Albert warned, "It must be a book about the recorder Dark Magic."

"Do you think the powerful Dark Magic is recorded in it?" Twins looked at the book with a bit of awe.

"Maybe, I don't know." Albert warned. "But I am certain that if you open it now, you will definitely be in trouble."

"You're right." Fred gave up the idea of seeking death and was worried that there was something bad in the book Dark Magic. After all, some bad things would happen after reading some books.

"Tales of Toxic Fungi" and "Wizard's Sonnets" are the best examples. The former will make people sick Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare, while the latter will make people only speak in five-line limericks for the rest of their lives.

"Help me find "The Book of Spells". The spells there are more suitable for us to learn now." Albert reminded again.

Fred and George both nodded and agreed to help. They also wanted to learn some Dark Curse. Those somewhat powerful Dark Curse in "The Book of Spells" were obviously very suitable for them to practice.

"Looking for them separately will be more efficient. As long as you don't touch the books casually, you will be fine." Albert reminded him and continued to look for the books he needed.

Restricted Section has a lot of books stored. When Albert passed through an area, he vaguely heard someone communicating in a low voice.

Albert immediately held his breath and listened. He could vaguely hear that the source of the sound was a bookshelf next to him, but it was not the books in the bookshelves in front of him, but somewhere else.

There seems to be something here, but it's hidden by magic.

"How weird..." Albert muttered. He did not try to uncover the secret, but continued to look for the books he needed. That was the purpose of coming here.

It took about an hour, or even longer, for the three of them to basically browse around Restricted Section before finally finding the books they needed.

"I knew the books here were not so easy to take away." Fred pointed at the chains on the books and said, "What should I do? Alohomora won't work. These chains must have been enchanted."

"Aren't you going to forcefully break the chain?" Neither George nor Fred wanted Albert to do that. He was worried that doing so might lead to bad consequences.

"Of course I won't do something stupid like that. I expected Anti-Alohomora Charm on it." Albert took out a knife from his pocket.

This knife was an item he purchased when he was at Christmas. What Albert wants is not this knife, but some universal accessories for the knife. Among them, one is a tool used to pick locks. He had practiced at home, and it wasn't too difficult to open this old lock.

"What are you going to do?" Neither of them understood why Albert suddenly took out a knife.

"Use Small Tricks from Muggle."

"Small Tricks of Muggle?" Both of them were curious about what Albert planned to do.

"You all open your eyes and watch carefully." Albert began to fiddle with the lock on the book.

After a while, there was only a soft click, and the lock on the book was opened.

"How on earth did you do that?" Twins looked at Albert in surprise.

"I said, this is Muggle's lock-picking trick." Albert shook the knife in his hand and said, "Most wizards will ignore some of Muggle's Small Tricks. Although it is not as good as Unlocking Charm and the speed is a bit slower, they often ignore this, leaving me with loopholes to exploit."

Although Hogwarts casts spells on these locks, and even if the chain is broken by force, an alarm may be triggered, but he believes that using the key to open the lock will have absolutely no side effects, because this is the correct way to open it.

Although Albert does not have a key, there is obviously no problem using Muggle's lock-picking trick.

"Next time you have a chance, you must teach us this technique." Twins's eyes flashed, and he felt that the method used by Albert was very useful.

Most wizards will always look down on Muggle because they don't know magic, which leaves Albert with loopholes to exploit. Even Hogwarts obviously ignored this.

"This lock-picking trick is easy to learn. If I have the chance, I will teach you." Albert said casually. Whether Twins can learn it, he doesn't know.

By the time they left the library, it was already four o'clock in the morning. The three of them held tonight's spoils in their hands, the original copies of "The Book of Spells", "The Book of Potions" and "Potent Potions".

After confirming again and again that no one was there, the three quietly left the crime scene and returned to Gryffindor's Common Room. On the way, they dodged a ghost wizard holding a cane.

When he returned to the dormitory, Li·Jordan was already awake, looking dissatisfied at the three people who had just returned from a night out.

"You should wake me up." Li·Jordan complained.

"Who made you sleep like a pig?" Fred held up today's trophy and showed off to Li Jordan, "We got it from the library."

"Let me see what books there are." Li·Jordan asked curiously.

"See for yourself. Don't break it. Let's sleep for a while." Fred covered a yawn and began to take off his clothes, preparing to go back and take a nap. He had never slept like Albert before. After the excitement of the night tour, he now wanted to sleep.

"Good night."

"Good night"

"What three bastards." Looking at the three people lying back on the bed, Li Jordan cursed in a low voice and turned his attention back to the three brick books they brought back.
