The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 388 ALFG's trick

It took Harry a while to reassure Ron, he knew how Ron was feeling right now.

Harry, too, had been poor before, with few pennies in his pocket, and his Uncle Vernon would never have wanted to spend an extra shilling on him.

Later, Harry inherited a large amount of inheritance left by his parents, but he himself did not have much concept of money itself, and there were not many places where money was needed. Most of the things were still in his pockets.

"I really don't know where they got so many Galleons." Ron muttered softly, and he wasn't stupid enough to think that Albert paid for it himself.

"I probably know why." Harry recalled and said, "Remember that ad on the bulletin board?"

"What ad?" Ron asked.

"It's that 'communication card, let's keep distance from each other.' ad." Harry said, "I remember last time I saw Fred and George put up an ad there, and I was warned by Percy because of it. The contacts are Fred, George and Lee Jordan."

"You mean they make so many Galleons selling those so-called communication cards!" Ron's eyes widened, his face full of shock, he couldn't believe what Fred and George were selling.

"Probably the Mr. Anderson who asked them to help sell things and then gave them the money." Harry still knew something, explaining to Ron.

After all, Harry had been living in the Muggle world before, and Albert's behavior was all too common in the Muggle world.

"But why didn't he sell it himself?" Ron couldn't understand, if he were, he would definitely be alone...

"I don't know, it's very likely..." Harry didn't know Albert either, but he heard that he was a very powerful genius and seemed to be rich, "...probably...don't want to waste time. Bar!"

Harry didn't think there was anything wrong with Albert's approach. If it was him, he would probably do the same, provided he could think of it.

"Why didn't I make money?"

Ron thought about it the next time, and even though he knew why, he was still depressed.

Harry next to him took out a piece of parchment from his pocket. This was a treasure map. On it was written a line of words in very ornate squiggles: Juniors, congratulations on discovering the treasure we left behind,

Go find it, we put all the treasures there. -ALFG

"ALFG?" Harry said softly after reading the letters, turning his head to Ron next to him, "This must be a very bad guy."

Ron looked at the treasure map carefully, frowned slightly and asked, "Where did you get this thing?"

"I found it in a book I borrowed from the school library when I was doing my homework last time!" Harry didn't intend to hide it.

At that time, he found that several pages of parchment had been pasted together, and upon closer inspection, he found that this treasure map was hidden inside.

"Maybe the other party is playing tricks on us." Ron looked at the old parchment and frowned, "This summer, Fred and George boasted to us that they found the grid through a piece of parchment. Ryffindor's secret treasure."

Speaking of this matter, Ron couldn't help but look at it with contempt, and even thinking about it, he knew that it was impossible, not to mention that Fred and George even bragged to him that they had defeated the troll, and even more so. Defeat the giant spider and find the treasure hidden in Gryffindor after many trials.

As soon as you hear it, you know it's fake.

Still, it felt a little odd to relate to this old treasure map that Harry was holding.

Is it true?

Ron used his mind that didn't think much of it, and the answer he finally came up with was: nonsense.

"go together!"

Harry thought about it and said the invitation, he didn't want Ron to continue to be upset because of what happened just now, and always thought that treasure hunting was a very interesting thing.

"Um."

Ron agreed, and since Harry wanted to go on a treasure hunt, he went with him.

"But what does that mean?" Harry pointed to the markings on the other side of the treasure map, which looked like a map.

"I don't know." Ron looked at the map, feeling irritated, "Maybe it's a map somewhere in the castle."

"What does a ghost have to do with toilets?" Harry looked at the few simple portraits next to the map in confusion.

"And... this thing is supposed to be a pumpkin?" Ron guessed. "Ghosts and pumpkins, do you mean Halloween?"

"I don't think so, what's the point of the toilet? The toilet in the bathroom?" Harry was even more confused, he wasn't good at solving puzzles at all. "Also, is this the map of the castle?"

"It should be... the map on the second floor of the castle!" Ron said after careful observation.

"If this is the map on the second floor," said Harry. "But is there a bathroom on the second floor?"

"Looks like... no. Well, wait, like there's a broken bathroom?" Ron's eyes lit up, feeling as though he had guessed something.

"But what do ghosts and pumpkins mean?"

"Hagrid's Pumpkin Field?"

Harry often ran to Hagrid's side, remembering that there was a large field of pumpkins next to Hagrid's hut, and those pumpkins were specially prepared for Halloween.

"Then what do ghosts mean?"

Harry felt that his brain was not enough, and he was really not good at guessing, but he was going to try his luck on the second floor first, maybe he could meet a ghost or something. "

However, the two walked around the second floor of the castle, but they didn't encounter any ghosts.

In the end, they decided to go to the malfunctioning bathroom to see if they could find clues.

"Can't go in."

Ron stopped Harry when he reached for the brass handle, ready to push the door.

"What's the matter?" Harry asked in confusion.

"This is a girls' bathroom." Ron pointed to the mark and frowned. Moreover, he heard footsteps coming towards him.

"What are you going to do?"

Hermione stopped Ron and Harry who were about to break into the girls' bathroom, and looked at the two of them with very strange eyes.

"We're on a treasure hunt." Harry couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and quickly backed back, like Hermione explaining why he went into the girls' bathroom, he didn't want to be misunderstood.

"Don't think that you can do this kind of thing with an excuse. If you dare to do this, I'll tell Professor McGonagall." Hermione looked at the two with disgust and said, "Last semester, our college had a Students who did this almost got kicked out of the school."

Harry and Ron opened their mouths, not knowing what to say.

"I hope next time I don't see you guys packing your bags and getting out?"

With that, Hermione turned and left.

"Really?" Harry asked innocently.

"How did I know, what do I do now?" Ron looked at Harry uneasily. If he was fired for this, his mother would definitely kill him.

"I'll go in by myself!" Harry gritted his teeth and said, "You bring it here, and remind me when someone comes."

"Forget it, I'll go in with you!" Ron didn't want to stay outside, what if he was misunderstood?

As soon as the two pushed the door into the girls' bathroom, they encountered the crying Myrtle.

"I think the ghost should be referring to her." Ron said to Harry, pointing to the ghost girl in front of him.

"I know I'm dead, you don't need to tell me again." The crying Myrtle stared at the two students who had broken into her own territory.

"Do you know where the treasure is?" Harry asked straight to the point, he really didn't want to be here any longer if he could.

"Oh, yes, yes. Someone once told me that if anyone came here looking for something, tell him 'Fifteen.'" The crying Myrtle suddenly giggled.

"What do you mean?" Ron asked in confusion.

"I don't know." Myrtle said happily.

"Who told you to say that?" Harry asked curiously, telling the ghost that it must be the creator of the treasure map.

"A handsome boy." Myrtle giggled. "He wouldn't let me tell anyone his name."

After speaking, the ghost floated away.

"What do you think fifteen means?"

"We'd better get out of here," said Ron uneasily. "Don't let anyone see us in the girls' bathroom."

Harry also thought that Ron had a point. They had just walked out of the girls' bathroom when they heard footsteps coming towards them again.

The two of them couldn't help but look up, only to find that they were acquaintances.

"Harry, Ron, what are you doing here?" George looked up at the room they had just come out of, and raised his eyebrows.

"What are you doing in the girls' bathroom?" Fred asked in surprise.

"No no, we!"

"Okay, I get it, you guys hurry up and don't let anyone else see it." Albert interrupted, "I remember last year Marcus McLaggen pretended to be stupid and wanted to break into the girls' bathroom. , he was caught by the girls, his reputation was stinky, and no girl was willing to date him anymore." Lee Jordan said that you have to learn a lesson.

"This... we are not..."

The two of them were blushing, not knowing what to say for a while.
