Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 27 Taking the blame

"The curse stops immediately."

Albert looked at the wooden door that was almost torn into pieces, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch.

"Merlin's beard, what to do now."

The three Weasleys looked at the demolished wooden door, swallowed their saliva, and couldn't help but take a step back, not realizing what happened just now.

"Are we..." Fred raised his hand and made a running gesture. It would be bad if someone accidentally caught him.

"Don't be stupid. Powerful wizards usually use tracking and appearance magic to know who has been here recently." Albert reached out and pressed Fred's shoulder, reminding him not to slip away.

"Then what should we do?" George looked at Albert uneasily.

"I should be able to repair it. I remember the spell should be - repair it as before." Albert quickly calmed down, raised his wand and pointed it at the torn wooden door, concentrating on chanting the repair spell.

The wooden board that had been ripped off the hinges flew back to the door. The crack slowly healed and it would soon be back to its original state.

However, before the wooden door could be completely restored, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

The four of them froze on the spot, because Professor McGonagall walked out from behind the door, looked at the wooden door that was being slowly repaired, and then at the four people standing in front of them. The atmosphere around them suddenly became a little awkward. .

"What are you doing?" Professor McGonagall twitched her old face and stared at the four of them sternly. Just now, she heard movement from the secret door of her office. When she came to check, she found that the door of her office had been torn down?

This scene immediately stunned her.

"Sorry, Professor, we didn't know that Open Sesame was a spell." Albert immediately corrected his attitude and apologized, "I think it was just an... accident."

"No more words, Mr. Anderson, come in, and you guys too." Professor McGonagall looked at the four of them expressionlessly and let them enter his office.

"It was just an accident, Professor." Albert repeated softly. The twins behind him and Lee Jordan held their breath, nervous and speechless.

"A very good repair spell. However, Mr. Anderson, I have to remind you that Open Sesame was a lock-opening spell hundreds of years ago. Today's wizards do not use this kind of crude magic." Professor McGonagall looked at Albert reminded, "If you have watched "Standard Spells, Elementary" you will know that now everyone loves the dexterous Alajo Cave more."

"I know. But Alaho's opening doesn't work on this door."

"Because the anti-Alajo Opening Curse was released on the door." Professor McGonagall explained, "So your spell did not take effect. This is the knowledge of the curse. I think Professor Flitwick will be happy for you to ask him these questions. "

"I will."

"No more gentlemen, otherwise I will be put in confinement." Professor McGonagall didn't seem to intend to blame a few people. He turned around and took a piece of parchment from the table, handed it to Albert and said, "This is the first-year curriculum, help me. Post it on the Gryffindor bulletin board."

"There won't be a next time, I promise." Albert coughed lightly, took the freshman class schedule handed over by Professor McGonagall, quickly pushed the twins and Li's backs, and walked out of Professor McGonagall's office quickly.

"It scared me to death." Everyone dared to speak when they were far away from Professor McGonagall's office.

"We actually tore down the door to Professor McGonagall's office?" Li Qiaodan still looked in disbelief.

"Luckily, I didn't get any points deducted or be put in solitary confinement." Albert opened the course schedule given by Professor McGonagall and took a look. The first period next Monday is the Charms class.

"But, that's great Albert, your opening spell actually opened the door." Fred's eyes were shining with excitement.

"It was just an accident. I didn't know it was a spell." Albert picked up the wand and tapped the parchment. The original curriculum was divided into two and then into four.

He divided the class schedule among three people.

"Why are there no flying lessons?" George was a little disappointed after reading the course schedule. He was looking forward to riding a broom and flying in the sky.

"Don't you think the number of courses is a bit small?" Albert frowned after reading the week's courses. Hogwarts felt more like free-range teaching to him.

"The classes are a bit short, are you crazy?" Li Yong looked at Albert in disbelief, as if he was under some strange spell.

"In Muggle schools, the courses must be at least half as long." Albert thought for a moment and guessed the reason.

There are only a few professors in the school. If a grade has two periods a week, one professor needs to teach 24 periods (grades 6 and 7 are taught in four colleges together).

Saturdays and Sundays are off, which means their classes are fully booked all week long.

Now that I think about it, it’s actually not incomprehensible.

"What are you thinking about?" George asked.

"Nothing, let's go, keep looking for the classroom." Albert stuffed the course schedule into his pocket and took the lead towards the marble stairs.

Currently, the four of them have found the Transfiguration classroom, the History of Magic classroom, and the abandoned bathroom on the second floor of the castle. He still remembers that there is the entrance to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, and there is a dangerous basilisk inside.

Since it was a girls' bathroom, the four of them were just passing by and had no intention of going in to avoid being misunderstood.

The exploration of the castle was quite fruitful. Near the corridor of the Charms classroom on the fourth floor, the four of them discovered a secret passage behind the tapestry. The end of this secret passage was near the armor corridor and prize display room.

"I think the tapestries at Hogwarts hide secret passages." Lee Jordan said jokingly as he walked out of the secret passage.

There is no way. The secret passages they discovered today are all hidden behind the tapestry. It is not surprising that there is such a misunderstanding.

"I dare say that most people can find these secret passages." George was a little disappointed. He hoped to find more hidden secret passages that others didn't know about.

"We will find it. Let's go in and take a look at the prize room." Albert suggested. In fact, he was a little curious as to whether these medals and trophies were made of gold and silver.

"George, Fred." Lee Jordan pointed to a cabinet and said, "Look at this, I remember Charlie is your brother, right? He also won the Quidditch trophy for the college."

"That was not long after Charlie joined the team. He has always hoped to win another Quidditch trophy before graduation." George looked a little depressed looking at the Slytherin trophies. Gryffindor and Slytherin Never right.

"The people in Slytherin sometimes do whatever it takes to achieve their goals," Fred muttered. He added: "Percy told me."

"Yes, those guys from Slytherin House are the most annoying." Fred agreed, "Percy said that once Slytherin falls out of first place, they will do anything to target the house that is ahead of them. , Snape is even more partial to his students and never deducts points from them. Many students in the school don’t like him and always call him Old Bat.”

When Albert heard what the twins said, his face suddenly twitched.

Although it's a joke, don't throw all the blame on Percy's head. After all, he is still your brother, not a scapegoat!
