The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 285 Honesty Detector

"Stop poking, you're about to poke other people's eyes out."

In a certain dormitory, Lee Jordan was poking around with a gold rod he had just bought from Zuoke's joke shop.

That golden rod is called the Honesty Detector, a very primitive black magic detector that can detect hidden spells and magic items.

There are naturally not so many hidden spells and magic items in ordinary dormitories, but there is a genius Albert in their dormitory, and Lee Jordan really found a lot of hidden spells, such as cabinets, books, and mirrors. reacted.

Anyway, Lee Jordan is now poking around with an honesty detector with a face full of excitement.

"Be careful when Albert comes back and beat you." Fred, who was playing cards, couldn't help but warned.

"As long as you don't tell me, he certainly doesn't know." Lee Jordan threw a chicken-flavored multi-flavored bean into his mouth, poked Albert's cabinet with a gold stick, and said, "I know that Albert makes a lot of Magical items are placed inside."

"Don't try it, there is magic on it, and the Araho cave opening spell can't be opened."

"What about the lockpicking?"

"If you pry, Albert will definitely beat you back."

"Lee Jordan can't pick locks." George was very depressed. He lost again. It seemed that he never beat Fred very much in poker. Albert always said that there was something wrong with his deck, but George didn't want to change it. .

"You said, what did Albert buy this silver arrow?" After Fred packed up the wizard card, he took out the silver arrow from under Albert's bed and placed it on the table to observe carefully. Although it is an antique broom, the workmanship is really delicate, not as rough as other antique brooms.

"I don't know, maybe, maybe... want to keep this antique broom?" George said uncertainly.

"Look, there is a hidden spell on the broom too." Lee Jordan said excitedly, holding the golden rod and poking on the broom.

"Don't play with that stuff here." Fred gave Lee Jordan an angry look, "I'd rather believe that Albert is going to study the structure of a broom and plan to make a new one for himself!"

The difficulty of making a broom is actually not high. The real difficulty is how to make the craft of the broom better.

"Pick the lock for me." Lee Jordan poked George with a stick and begged, "The Gryffindor treasure map you found last time is also inside."

"By the way, what about the others?" George asked impatiently, pushing aside Lee Jordan's stick.

"I don't know." Fred shook his head.

Just after returning from Hogsmeade, Albert disappeared inexplicably.

"While he's not around..."

"I said are you annoying, if you have time, go and fix the wizard card game."

George walked to the counter and took out a pile of cards from a box. Those were the wizard cards he and Fred were trying to make, but compared with Albert's wizard cards, there was still a gap.

Lee Jordan took the opportunity to move the golden rod down and poked at George, who was rummaging for materials. Fred, who watched this scene, was a little stunned, and seemed to be looking forward to what would happen.

...

...

At this moment, in the Room of Requirement, Albert is practicing the Traceless Stretching Mantra.

So far, he has practiced for more than ten minutes, but the Traceless Stretching Charm has never taken effect, and there is no traceless Stretching Charm on the skill panel.

"As expected of advanced magic, it feels really difficult." Albert murmured.

"Expansion Increment!"

He concentrated heavily and waved his wand again to cast a spell on the box.

However, the Traceless Stretching Charm still had no effect, which made him a little depressed, feeling that he was trapped by the rewards on the quest panel.

Why not directly control it yourself?

"Where could the problem be?" Albert tried to recall the process of Professor Smith's spell.

His own magical power should be enough, and there is nothing wrong with casting a spell or waving a wand.

Although it cannot be ruled out that Professor Smith deliberately misleads himself, it should not be very likely!

"But where is the problem?"

Albert took a deep breath,

To suppress the irritability that surged in my heart. He temporarily gave up practicing the Unmarked Stretching Spell, and flipped through the books he borrowed from the forbidden area. There were indeed records of how to learn the Unmarked Stretching Spell.

Albert spent a lot of time and carefully read the part about the Traceless Stretching Spell several times. When he closed the book, he already realized what was wrong with him, and his face suddenly darkened.

Traceless Stretching is considered a profound spell that is difficult to master. There is a reason for that. When using a spell, you need to double-check how much capacity you want to expand. With Apparition, you need to know exactly where you want to go, and Patronus spells need a pleasant memory. similar.

However, Professor Smith never reminded Albert of this problem, and it is not surprising that the spell would fail.

"This quest reward is really pitiful!" Albert muttered.

He wasn't quite sure why Professor Smith only taught himself spells and gestures, but didn't teach himself the main points of casting spells. He didn't want him to learn it, or he said... Forget it, I'll find out when I go to Professor Smith next time.

"Expansion Increment!"

Albert picked up the wand and tried again, this time the spell finally took effect, he reached out and probed into the box, the space inside did increase a little bit.

He flipped through the panel skills again, and sure enough, he successfully found the skill of the Traceless Stretching Spell.

The difficulty of the Traceless Stretching Charm is related to the enlarged area.

Albert did not rush to upgrade, but began to think about how to use the fur of the swamp digger to make a pair of protective gloves for himself. The swamp diggers that Mundungus helped him acquire had enough fur to make gloves first, and then containers of mandrakes.

There is no tailor in his skill panel, and a first-level tailor probably can't make any good gloves. It is best to ask someone to help. Albert remembers that there is a tailor shop in Diagon Alley, and he can write a letter to the fat witch. Letter, if the other party is willing to help, that's the best.

If the other party doesn't want to, you can only find a way.

First-level tailoring skills always feel a little unreliable.

...

At lunchtime, Albert appeared in the hall on time, and his three roommates had already arrived and were waving at him.

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

When Albert walked over, he found that Lee Jordan's eye sockets were a little swollen, as if he had been punched, and Fred was secretly laughing next to him.

"He poked around with the honesty detector, and as a result..." George shrugged helplessly.

"I'm just joking, you're too ruthless." Lee Jordan couldn't help complaining.

"I didn't do it on purpose, it was an instinctive reaction, an instinctive reaction."

"Why don't you go to Madam Pomfrey for help." Albert sat next to him and took a slice of bread to prepare a sandwich for himself.

However, Lee Jordan's face was a little dark, and he couldn't see the dark circles under his eyes at all.

"Go," said Fred. "Where did you go?"

"Practicing spells on the eighth floor!" Albert said casually.

"You shouldn't... have learned it!" George looked at Albert in horror.

"How is that possible, it's just a little bit of an eyebrow, and it takes a lot of time to practice." Albert took a bite of the ham sandwich, reached out and picked up Lee Jordan's gold stick and touched the protective bracelet on his wrist, and found that this thing still lingered. Really got a reaction.

"It's called an honesty detector," Lee Jordan said. "Able to detect hidden spells and hidden magic items."

"The effect is very poor, it is estimated that the product is inferior." Albert took the gold rod away from the bracelet, and found that the reaction on the gold rod disappeared immediately.

To be honest, the magic items in the magic world give Albert the feeling that it is very unreliable, and most wizards still need to rely on their wands.

"After all, two Galleons, you can't expect anything." Lee Jordan muttered, he took the golden rod, poked Albert's body, and then... found a fist enlarged in front of him

"Enough is enough for you!" Albert glanced at Li Jordan.

"Then you don't have to beat me!" Lee Jordan covered his eyes and couldn't help protesting.

"Who made you cheap!"

Fred and George couldn't help themselves from laughing. If it wasn't for Lee Jordan being dark enough, the two dark circles under his eyes would be wonderful.

"By the way, I will make a joke prop that can create dark circles for others in the future. Write it down, write it down." George took out the parchment and quickly recorded the good idea.

"Wow, when are you going to bring this too." Lee Jordan looked at George in disbelief, as if seeing something incredible.

"Hmph, I learned it from Albert." George was able to wave the parchment and explain casually, "There are some interesting ideas recorded here, and we will implement these good ideas one by one in the future."

"With your ability, it is very difficult to succeed. If it is Albert, it should be easier." Lee Jordan couldn't help but sneer at George to express his dissatisfaction.

"We're still stockpiling useful knowledge, and in another two years, we'll definitely be able to start trying to make these things." Fred and George didn't care much about Lee Jordan's sarcasm, they really don't have that ability yet, but In a few years, it will definitely be completed. Record it now to reserve some inspiration for the future. Even if it is really not used, there is no loss.

"You can't make much money selling those things." Albert interrupted suddenly after eating the sandwich.

"Then what are you talking about?" Fred asked rhetorically.

"This thing."

Albert shook his wooden bracelet and explained softly: "Professor Smith once complained to me that most of the wizards are very poor in defense against the dark arts, and they can't even use an iron armor spell."

"You mean protective equipment?" George immediately guessed,

"Except for wizards who perform dangerous work, probably not many people will buy it, right?" Fred frowned.

"Recently, I got a very useful piece of news. In a few years, this thing will definitely sell well!" Albert said with a cracked smile, "The field of Defense Against the Dark Arts is the real cash cow."

"what news."

"The news is very scary." Albert said mysteriously, "You definitely don't want to know, and you don't want to believe it."
