The Targeted Large Scarf

"Don't you guys think Professor Quirrell's gaze towards us is a little strange?"

On their way to the lobby, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan talked about what had just happened.

"If it were me, I would definitely do the same."

Walking alongside the Weasley Twins, Lee Jordan couldn't help but complain, "Why?"

"Why? Ever since you tried to sell the Garlic Cross amulets to Professor Quirrell, he's been giving you strange looks," Lee Jordan said, covering his face with his hand. He had initially disapproved of the Twins trying to sell the amulets to Professor Quirrell.

"But..."

"There are no 'buts' about it. How would you feel if someone made fun of you to your face?" Lee Jordan immediately interrupted. The Twins might not have meant it that way, but that didn't mean Professor Quirrell wouldn't have such thoughts.

"But... Professor Quirrell needs to get rid of the vampires, doesn't he?" Fred was puzzled. He remembered that Albert was... well, where is that guy? He turned and looked around, but didn't see Albert, so he asked, "Where's Albert?"

"You're only just realizing this? He just mysteriously disappeared." George gave him a look that said, "You're only just noticing now?" They'd encountered this situation many times before, and Albert would definitely reappear on his own in a bit.

"Have you noticed that Professor Quirrell's odor has become even stronger?"

"Of course I noticed!" Fred raised an eyebrow and lowered his voice, "It was such a shame that Peeves failed last time."

"That guy took so much of our stuff, and this is what he gets?"

Speaking of Peeves, Lee Jordan was very dissatisfied. That guy had taken a lot of Dungbombs and Stink Pellets from them, but he couldn't get this done.

"Peeves says Professor Quirrell is on guard and it's impossible for him to succeed," George said.

"Should we give up?"

Everyone was curious: was Professor Quirrell's Large Scarf stuffed with garlic, or with Garlic Cross?

"It's best to give up. Everyone has secrets they don't want others to know." Albert reappeared at some point.

"Where did you just go?" Lee Jordan asked.

"What were you talking about just now?" Albert asked, trying to change the subject.

"What do you think is hidden in Professor Quirrell's Large Scarf?" Fred knew Albert wouldn't say, so he didn't press further and instead told Albert about Peeves' failure.

"I already know. I heard that Quirrell put a spell on his Large Scarf so that it wouldn't be pulled off," Albert said, sharing the information he had gathered.

"You found out?" The three were all surprised, not expecting Quirrell to use this trick, which ruined their original fishing hook plan.

"I heard it from others, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"How about we let Peeves try again?" Lee Jordan suggested. He was still upset about Peeves ' failure; it wouldn't do to get the item and then mess it up.

Albert's face twitched slightly. He admired the three men's suicidal tendencies. He knew that once Voldemort, who was parasitizing the back of Quirrell's head, was exposed, who knew what would happen! "How many days are you planning to be locked up?" Albert asked. "If you're prepared, I can try to make you a fishhook that can break the curse."

"This..."

"It can make Peeves..."

Before Lee Jordan could finish speaking, Albert raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Peeves won't listen to you unless you give him something else."

"Then forget it."

If that rascal Peeves doesn't succeed again, won't they have wasted their joke props for nothing?

The three of them were not as wealthy as Albert.

"It seems the treasure from last time has been dug up by someone." Albert immediately changed the subject. "Did someone secretly let them know the location of the treasure?"

All three stated that they had not told anyone else the location of the treasure.

However, Harry's Treasure Map was just one of Treasure Map created by Albert. All of these Treasure Map required deciphering to find the treasure's location; according to Fred, George, and Lee Jordan, Albert never intended for treasure hunting to be enjoyable.

It's amazing that Harry was able to solve the mystery. By the way, has any of you seen his Treasure Map?

Sure enough, the topic was subtly changed.

"Hmm, it seems to be that treasure spot near Hagrid's Pumpkin Patch. The treasure seems to be... that garlic-smelling cross," Lee Jordan said uncertainly.

"Why don't we just go ask them and they'll know?" Fred gestured in a certain direction, and the three of them looked up to see Harry and Ron having a meal.

"I heard you guys got your hands on a Treasure Map last time. How's it going? Did you find the treasure?" Fred asked, walking up to Harry and putting his arm around Ron's shoulder.

"Found it. Too bad, the treasure inside is weird." Ron brushed Fred's hand off his shoulder and couldn't help but complain, "Found a bottle with a really strong smell, and inside was a strange vampire amulet. Later, Harry gave that thing to Professor Quirrell."

"No wonder!" The four looked at each other and said in unison.

"No wonder what?"

"Nothing much?" Fred said casually. "You guys need to be careful not to go into the Forbidden Forest. Last time, we got one too, but we went into the Forbidden Forest and almost didn't get back."

"Who are you trying to fool!" Ron scoffed, completely disbelieving their nonsense.

"Do you know who ALFG is?" Harry suddenly asked.

"ALFG?" George changed the subject. "You mean Flag?"

"No, it's ALFG." Harry gave his Treasure Map to George, but Hagrid ultimately didn't eat it.

"Ours isn't signed!" George pointed out.

"This couldn't be... a trick you guys pulled, could it?" Ron looked the group of people up and down, finding them very suspicious. These guys certainly seemed like the kind of people who would do something like this.

"We don't have that capability," Fred said, pretending to look at a map.

Of course, they weren't actually lying.

After all, the Treasure Map was drawn by Albert, and it really had nothing to do with them.

"What's going on for Halloween this year?" Albert casually asked as everyone sat down to eat.

"I think it was the choir last year!"

"This year it's a pantomime," George said. "I heard Percy will also be performing, playing a wind instrument."

"The Prefect must be really working hard!"

"Mime was banned by the school a long time ago," Albert interrupted. "It is said that a long time ago, the wizarding fairy tale ' The Fountain of Fair Fortune ' was adapted and performed at Hogwarts, which resulted in a fire, leading to a complete ban on mime performances at Hogwarts."

"This year's Halloween is a circus performance!" Wood walked over and said to the group, "Remember Mario, Danny, and Jack?"

"Acrobatic Trio?" Albert asked tentatively.

"Yes, it's them. Those three guys really started a circus after graduation. It's said they're about to start touring, using Hogwarts as the starting point for their world tour."

"I can't believe they actually formed a miniature circus!" Fred and George were both surprised; building your own team is no easy feat.

Miniature circus? That's right, it actually refers to wizards performing on the street. Mario, Danny, and Jack didn't have enough funds to support the initial investment of the circus, so they could only slowly accumulate Galleon.
