Lucky Bracelet
weekend.
It's a clear day, perfect for viewing Quidditch Match.
At 10:30 in the morning, Albert and several people set out from the castle and walked through the snow on the road to the stadium stands. A large number of students had gathered here, and everyone was talking loudly about the outcome of the game.
"Good morning, Hagrid." Albert greeted Hagrid who was holding a pair of binoculars Binoculars.
"Thank you for the hat." Hagrid patted the wool hat on his head, "I never thought I could receive a gift from Christmas."
"You can think of it as a return gift." Albert said with a smile.
"Return gift?" Hagrid asked in confusion, "What return gift?"
"Guardian Tree branch, Unicorn Tail Hair." Albert raised his wrist, and there was an exquisite white bracelet on it.
"What is this?"
"The bracelet that can bring good luck to people, I made it with the Unicorn Tail Hair and Guardian Tree you gave me." Albert said with a smile, "It can bring good luck to the wearer."
"Bring good luck to the wearer?" Hagrid muttered in a low voice, "I have never heard that Unicorn Tail Hair and Guardian Tree can bring good luck to the wearer."
Fred, George and Li Jordan next to them couldn't help laughing.
You like to fool others, now you are exhausted! "However, your rope is very beautifully woven." Hagrid coughed lightly.
"I mean the runes on it." Albert picked up two pendants polished by Guardian Tree and showed them to the three of them. They were engraved with the runes that Albert had shown them a while ago.
"You really carved those strange runes on it. Are you sure this thing is really effective?" George asked suspiciously.
"Who knows?" Albert shrugged, "Maybe it can really bring good luck, then you'll make money."
Originally, Albert was intended to make a Protective Bracelet.
However, after engraving several beads one after another, I broke it, so I gave up temporarily and chose the simplest good luck rune to engrave.
As for whether this thing can bring him good luck, Albert actually doesn't know.
Anyway, when he tried to use his own blood to activate the runes on the beads, he didn't feel anything special.
It probably failed.
However, Albert still wore it on his body, just to verify whether the runes were really effective.
"Gryffindor Team vs. Hufflepuff Team, does anyone want to place a bet?" At this time, several senior students came over with wooden boxes for betting, and the shouts interrupted Albert's thoughts.
Twins seems to be planning to place a bet, and Li Jordan next to him has already taken out a Silver Sickle.
"Who do you want to bet on?" The three of them looked at Albert.
"I bet that Gryffindor Team will catch Golden Snitch and win." Albert took out a Silver Sickle and made a bet.
"The same goes for us." The three of them handed the money to each other in unison.
"Many people are betting on this. The odds are not high. If you win by betting Hufflepuff, we will give you three times the odds." The senior student said.
"No, just Gryffindor."
Albert doesn't care whether he can win money, he just has fun, purely for the atmosphere.
"What's your name?" the senior student asked as he pulled out his notebook and Quill.
"His name is Albert·Anderson." Fred answered for Albert.
"Albert·Anderson." The senior student scrawled some words and handed it to Fred. "After the game, we will be at the exit. If you win the bet, just come to us with the note."
Albert looked at the three roommates and said speechlessly, "You are not afraid of losing money."
"We believe in your luck." The three said in unison. Now that Albert has made the bet, although the probability is low, they are actually still willing to try their luck with me.
"My luck?" Albert couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "Just don't blame me for losing money."
"We won't," Fred said, "We don't think Gryffindor Team, who has been practicing hard, will lose to Hufflepuff Team."
"Gambling is not a good habit." Hagrid reminded him with a raised eyebrow.
"This is just for the atmosphere, and I also have a lucky bracelet. My luck is pretty good." Albert said confidently.
"I just thought you would bet 10 Galleon."
"Do you think I'm a fool?" Albert couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, "This kind of private gambling is never reliable. If I bet 10 Galleon and win, can the other party give me back the Galleon I won?"
"I guess I can't get it out." Fred thought for a while and replied.
"Well, it seems that you know what you are doing." Hagrid nodded. There is nothing wrong with making a small bet occasionally.
"Last time he bet on who was Minister of Magic, he won 100 Galleon." Li·Jordan explained, "This guy's luck is so good that it's scary."
Hagrid opened his mouth wide in surprise and threw the thought in his mind to the ground and crushed it to pieces.
"Ahem, Hagrid, which pair do you think will win?" Albert asked.
"Of course Gryffindor." Hagrid said angrily. "It's best not to bet. No one can win all the time."
"Ahem, I know this very well."
In fact, Albert really won the bet, Gryffindor Team finally defeated Hufflepuff Team.
This exciting game lasted only one hour, and Charlie successfully caught Golden Snitch to bring victory to the team.
"Won."
"Won."
"Ah, the note... the note flew away." George screamed.
In the end, Hagrid reached out to help them get the parchment back. Fortunately, there was no wind today.
"Give the parchment to Albert, you unreliable guy." Li·Jordan took the parchment from Fred and stuffed it to Albert.
"Accident, that was just an accident." Fred said with a smile. He had broken into a cold sweat just now. This thing is worth eight Silver Sickle.
"Thank you, Hagrid." Albert thanked Hagrid.
"You're welcome."
Albert Several people found the two senior students at the entrance and got the eight silver coins they had bet from them.
"Look, my lucky bracelet still brings me luck." Albert blinked and said, "Those runes are still useful."
"You have good luck!" Fred couldn't help but roll his eyes. Winning the bet made them all feel good.
"By the way, did you enter the forest from this way last time?" Albert glanced at the nearby forest and suddenly asked.
Fred and George's expressions froze. Bastard, Hagrid is right next to you, don't mention it.
"Into the forest?" Hagrid stared at the four people in front of him warily.
"Hagrid, can you take us into the forest to gain some experience." Albert looked in the direction of Forbidden Forest and asked Hagrid beside him.
"This is not possible." Hagrid flatly refused.
Albert did not betray the embarrassment of Fred and George at all, "The two of them sneaked into the woods and said that the woods next to the school were very ordinary."
"As expected..."
"You guy." Twins all glared at Albert, this guy actually betrayed them so simply.
"Ahem, I heard from others that there are many secrets hidden in Forbidden Forest. Let you take us in for a walk and satisfy our curiosity." Albert winked at Hagrid and said, "From now on, we will not be curious about what is in that forest."
Hagrid was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something, but finally shook his head and refused.
"Can't you keep us safe too?"
"School School Rules has decided that students are not allowed to enter the forest." Hagrid said.
"Actually, I think Dumbledore prohibiting others from entering the forest will arouse students' curiosity." Albert said, "As far as I know, many people have quietly entered the forest."
"Many people?" Hagrid glared at Weasley Twins.
"Ahem, they are just one example." Albert explained, "We just want to satisfy our curiosity. Besides, you don't often go into the woods."
"Okay, it's just this once, it won't happen next time." Hagrid agreed, "Come with me, don't run around."
"Look! The effect of the lucky charm is pretty good, right?" Albert winked at the stunned three people.
Fred and the others never thought that Albert could convince Hagrid to take them into the forest.
