Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 118 Bracelet that brings luck

weekend.

   This is a sunny day, very suitable for watching the Quidditch game.

  At 10:30 in the morning, Albert set off from the castle and walked through the snow on the road to the stands of the stadium. A large number of students had already gathered here, and everyone was talking loudly about the outcome of the game.

   "Good morning, Hagrid." Albert greeted Hagrid who was holding binoculars.

   "Thank you for the hat." Hagrid patted the wool cap on his head, "I never thought I could get presents at Christmas."

   "You can take it as a gift in return." Albert said with a smile.

   "Return?" Hagrid asked puzzled, "What return?"

   "The branch of the guardian, the tail hair of the unicorn." Albert raised his wrist, and there was a delicate white bracelet on it.

"What's this?"

   "A bracelet that can bring good luck to people. I made it from the unicorn tail hair and the 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 murmured softly, "I've never heard of unicorn tail hair and a guardian tree bringing good luck to the wearer."

  Fred, George and Lee Jordan beside them couldn't help laughing.

   It made you like to fool others, now you are deflated!

   "However, your rope is beautifully braided." Hagrid coughed lightly.

   "I mean the runes on it." Albert took up two pendants polished from a guardian tree and showed them to the three, engraved with the runes that Albert had shown them a while ago.

   "You really engraved that strange rune on it, so are you sure it really works?" George asked suspiciously.

   "Who knows?" Albert shrugged and said, "Maybe it can really bring good luck, then it will be profitable."

  Originally, Albert planned to make a protective bracelet.

   It’s just that after breaking several beads one after another, I gave up temporarily and chose the simplest good luck rune to carve.

   As for whether this thing can bring him good luck, Albert is actually not sure.

  Anyway, when he tried to use his own blood to activate the runes on the beads, he didn't feel anything special.

   It is estimated that it failed.

  However, Albert still wore it on his body, just to verify whether the rune runes were really effective.

"Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff, does anyone want to bet?" At this moment, several senior students came towards this side with wooden boxes for betting, and their shouts interrupted Abel special thinking.

  The twins seemed to be betting on it, and Lee Jordan next to him had already pulled out a silver Sickle.

   "Who do you bet on?" The three of them looked at Albert in unison.

   "I bet the Gryffindor team will win by catching the Snitch." Albert took out a silver Sickle to bet.

   "We are the same." The three handed the money to each other in unison.

   "Many people bet on this, and the odds are not high. If Hufflepuff wins, we will give 3 times the odds." The senior student said.

   "No, just Gryffindor."

  Albert didn't care whether he could win money or not, he was just having fun, purely for an atmosphere.

   "What's your name?" the senior student asked, pulling out his notebook and quill.

   "His name is Albert Anderson." Fred answered for Albert.

"Albert Anderson." The senior scribbled something and handed it to Fred, "We'll be at the exit after the game, take the note if you win the bet Go find us."

   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. Since Albert made a bet, although the probability is not high, they are actually willing to try their luck with it.

   "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 that the Gryffindor team, which has been training hard, will lose to the Hufflepuff team."

   "Gambling is not a good habit." Hagrid reminded with raised eyebrows.

   "It's just for the atmosphere, and I still have a lucky bracelet. My luck is pretty good." Albert said confidently.

   "I just thought you would bet 10 Galleons."

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Albert couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "This kind of private bet has never been reliable. If I bet 10 galleons and I win, the other party can add more money to my winning bet." Is Long coming back?"

   "I guess I can't get it out." Fred thought for a while and replied.

   "Well, it seems that you know what you're doing." Hagrid nodded, and it's okay to gamble occasionally.

   "The last time he bet on who was the Minister of Magic, he won 100 Galleons." Lee Jordan explained, "This guy's luck is scary."

  Hagrid opened his mouth wide in surprise, threw the thoughts in his head on the ground and trampled them to pieces.

   "Ahem, Hagrid, which pair do you think will win?" Albert asked.

   "Gryffindor, of course," said Hagrid grumpily. "It's best not to gamble, no one can win all the time."

   "Ahem, I know this very well."

  In fact, Albert really won the bet, and the Gryffindor team finally defeated the Hufflepuff team.

   This wonderful game lasted only one hour, and Charlie successfully caught the Golden Snitch to bring the team victory.

"Won."

"Won."

   "Ah, the note... the note flew," screamed George.

  Finally, Hagrid reached out to help them retrieve the parchment. Fortunately, there was no wind today.

   "Give the parchment to Albert, you unreliable guy." Lee Jordan snatched the parchment from Fred and stuffed it to Albert.

   "Accident, it was just an accident." Fred said with a smile, just now he was sweating coldly, this thing is worth eight silver Sickles.

   "Thank you, Hagrid." Albert thanked Hagrid.

"You're welcome."

   Albert and the others found the two senior students at the entrance, and got the eight silver coins they bet from each other.

   "Look, my lucky bracelet still brings me luck." Albert blinked and said, "Those runes are still useful."

   "Your luck is pretty good!" Fred couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Winning the bet made them all feel good.

   "By the way, did you enter the forest from this side last time?" Albert looked at the nearby forest and asked suddenly.

  Fred and George froze. Bastard, Hagrid is right there, don't mention it.

   "Into the woods?" Hagrid stared at the four people in front of him warily.

   "Hagrid, can you take us into the forest to gain knowledge." Albert looked in the direction of the Forbidden Forest and asked Hagrid beside him.

   "That's not okay." Hagrid flatly refused.

  Albert did not betray the embarrassment of Fred and George at all, "The two of them sneaked into the woods, saying that the woods next to the school are very ordinary."

   "You really..."

   "You bastard." The twins glared at Albert, this guy actually betrayed them so simply.

"Ahem, I heard from others that there are many secrets hidden in the Forbidden Forest. You can take us in for a stroll to satisfy our curiosity." Albert blinked at Hagrid and said, "In the future, we will You won’t be curious about what’s in the woods.”

  Hagrid was silent for a moment, seemed to be thinking about something, but finally shook his head and refused.

   "Can't you keep us safe too?"

   "The school stipulates that students are not allowed to enter the forest." Hagrid said.

   "Actually, I think Dumbledore's prohibition of others entering the forest will arouse the curiosity of the students." Albert said, "As far as I know, many people have already quietly entered the forest."

   "A lot of people?" Hagrid glared at Brother Weasley.

   "Ahem, they are just one example." Albert explained, "We just want to satisfy our curiosity, and, don't you often go into the woods."

   "Okay, just this one time, don't make another example." Hagrid agreed, "Come with me, don't run around."

   "Look! The lucky talisman works well, right?" Albert winked at the stunned three.

  The three of Fred never thought that Albert could persuade Hagrid to take them into the woods.
