The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 467 Simple Organs
Albert could feel himself falling down, and the cold and damp air was whistling past his ears.

Above his head, the screams of Fred, George, and Lee Jordan, falling through the tunnel, made him feel like laughing.

Sure enough, it was still too young.

Although it was said that there would be a devil's net as a cushion underneath, Albert didn't want to plunge into the devil's net at all, so he chanted a shock-absorbing spell, and by the way, several people who jumped from above suddenly came to an emergency in mid-air. The brakes stopped abruptly in the air.

The feeling of the Shock Absorbing Charm was amazing, and Albert felt like he was slowly falling in the air like a feather, but the falling speed was very slow.

"Scared me to death?" Fred patted his chest and said, "This is definitely several floors high. If it weren't for the shock absorbing charm, you might break your neck if you fall."

"No, according to the general situation, we would fall on those things." Albert pointed to the vines above his head and comforted him with a smile.

"What's the matter with those vines?" Lee Jordan looked at the creeping vines, his brows were slightly frowned, and he had a bad feeling.

Because the light ball made by Albert had completely disappeared, and the vines gathered together again.

"Guess?" Albert said casually.

"Stop selling it."

"This should also be a mechanism. Which professor do you think arranged the mechanism?"

"This thing can actually move?" George wanted to step back, preparing to get further away from these weird vines.

However, George found that his legs had been entangled by vines, and he staggered and fell into the pile of vines. The vines immediately stretched out snake-like tendrils and wrapped around George's body.

"Isn't it amazing?" Albert blinked at George, not caring about being entangled in his legs by long vines.

"What the hell is this?" George desperately tried to tear the vines off his body, but the more he struggled free, the faster and tighter the vines tangled.

"Hold on, I remember what this is, it's a devil's net!" Fred screamed loudly.

Lee Jordan, who was in a panic at first, didn't dare to move anymore after hearing this.

"Oh, dear Albert, we are breaking up with you, and you stand there watching our jokes." George complained angrily.

The vines were already wrapped around his neck, making him almost breathless.

"The more you struggle, the tighter the devil's net will be." Albert reminded kindly, "Actually, this is just a very simple mechanism, just like saying hello to us: asking if we have studied herbal medicine seriously. "

"Damn, your joke is not funny at all, please hurry up, I can hardly breathe!" George gasped, desperately trying to tear off the vine wrapped around his neck.

"The devil's net likes darkness and moisture, and is afraid of fire and light." Fred muttered, using his wand to create flames to expel the devil's net.

Within a few seconds, everyone could feel the vines wrapping around them shrink back, trying to avoid the light and warmth.

Lee Jordan sets the vines on fire and tries to rescue George.When the devil's net encountered the flames, it twisted and twitched violently, automatically loosening the tendrils wrapped around George's body.

"Isn't it interesting?"

The embarrassed George was finally picked up from the ground by Albert. He originally wanted to pull Albert down together, but failed.

"Thank you very much." George said angrily, but he also admired Albert's calmness. Albert was never nervous from the beginning.

If Fred and Lee Jordan hadn't been infected by his calmness, maybe they were really trapped to death by the devil's net.

"When did you find out that they were made by the devil?" Lee Jordan couldn't help asking.

"From the beginning, I felt that speaking out might interrupt your adventure fun." Albert said something that made people want to hit him. "Actually, this is a test of a person's knowledge reserve and calmness."

"It's perfectly normal for ordinary people to be entangled in the devil's net without knowing it, and to struggle nervously."

"Thanks to your explanation." George complained angrily.

"What good things do you think Dumbledore will hide here?" Fred looked at Albert and asked, "You should be able to guess some!"

"What do you think it will be? This is not a difficult mechanism, is it?" Albert said with a smile, "Let's go and see what is more interesting in front of us."

"You must know."

"It is said that it was almost stolen from Gringotts." Albert asked with a smile, "You also want to play with it?"

The three shook their heads in unison, they would not steal what the principal hid.

They walked forward, downhill along the corridor, surrounded by their own footsteps, and the sound of water dripping slowly along the walls.

"Did you hear anything?" Lee Jordan stopped and listened.

The others quietly listened to the sounds around them, and they indeed heard a faint rustling sound coming from the front.

"Let's go, we can find out what's going on in the past."

Albert pointed ahead, where the lights were on.

They found that at the end of the corridor, there was actually a brightly lit room, and the sound came from above their heads.On the high, vaulted ceilings, countless small birds fluttered about the room, flapping their wings.

"This is... the second organ?"

"You said, if we go in directly, will these birds attack us?" George became very careful after suffering the loss last time, for fear of falling into the trap again.

"There's a door on the opposite side. I'm afraid we need to go through this room." Fred pointed to the heavy wooden door on the opposite side and said.

"It's possible." Lee Jordan suggested, "If they all charge at once, we'll chant the Explosion Charm together and blow them all up."

"That's a good idea, anyway, I don't want to run directly." George also didn't want to face those birds that would have sharp beaks and claws to tear him apart at any time.

"Albert, what do you think?"

The three looked at Albert in unison, waiting for his decision, whether to blow up all the birds above their heads and drive them away.

"This level may be more interesting than we imagined, and those things above the head are not flying birds." Albert pointed to the broomstick in the room and said, "Let's go, you shouldn't be attacked, at least not for the time being."

"Are you sure?" Lee Jordan raised his eyebrows.

"determine."

"Okay, I'll go first." Lee Jordan took a deep breath, covered his face with his arms, and rushed across the room quickly.

Sure enough, nothing happened.

"These things seem to be all keys." George also discovered the secret of the birds, and they were all keys that could fly.

"The door is locked."

Fred walked over and pulled the handle with Lee Jordan, only to find that the wooden door was still motionless.

"Use the Alahoo hole to cast a curse." George suggested, and put it into action, but it didn't help.

"Could there be an anti-alahoo opening spell cast on the door?"

All three looked at Albert, he was the only one here who knew how to decipher the anti-Alahoo hole spell.

As a result, of course it didn't work.

"Or, we use sesame to open the door and tear down the door." Lee Jordan did not forget the great feat on his first day at Hogwarts.

"It's best not to, I don't want to be covered by those flying keys above." Albert stopped Lee Jordan's crazy thoughts.

"Don't tell me, we need to find a key among these piles of keys." All four looked up at the keys flying above their heads.

"Congratulations, you got the answer right. It is estimated that you need to find a suitable key to open the door." Albert said calmly, "They obviously cannot be used as decorative items."

"But there are hundreds of keys on it!"

"You should be thankful that we have three excellent Quidditch players here." Fred couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

George has already taken the broomstick and is going to distribute the broomsticks to the three best flyers, because there are only three broomsticks, and Lee Jordan, who is less able to fly, has no share.

Albert didn't go to pick up the broomstick, he was checking the lock of the door carefully.

In the novel, when Harry found the key, it seemed that Quirrell had already used the key to open the door, so he caused some damage to the key bird, but how would they find the key?
"We're looking for a big key." Lee Jordan pretended to look at the doorknob.

"It's full of big keys." Fred couldn't help complaining.

"Does anyone know what shape the key of this lock is?" Albert asked suddenly.

"Maybe... it's shaped like a door." George raised his hand and drew the approximate shape of the key in the void.

"It's not easy." Li Qiaodan muttered, "There should be many such keys."

"Try to find a rusty door key." Albert pointed to the rusty door lock and said, "I guess the key should be very old."

"Aren't you coming together? You are better at this than us." They each grabbed a broom, kicked their feet, and when they rose to midair, they looked back at Albert and asked inexplicably.

"No, I'm going to try another method." Albert shook his head and refused. He was ready to try the lockpicking tool to see if he could use the Muggle way to pick the doorknob lock.

If it really doesn't work, it's not too late to go up and grab the key.

A few people rushed into the group of dense key arrays, looking around for the key bird that Albert said, and went up to arrest the suitable key when they saw it.

But the enchanted keys dodged too quickly for them to catch them.

"Just figure it out!" Fred yelled.

"We...we make a big net to cover all the keys!" George finally came up with a good idea.

The three of them fell to the ground and began to use transformation magic to create a large triangular net for capture. Thinking that they could put the key in the cover later, the three of them were in a good mood.

In the end, before they could implement their plan, they heard a click and the door lock was opened.

The three turned their heads stiffly, saw Albert holding the doorknob with his hand, smiled and said to them, "The door seems to be open, let's go in."

With that said, he pushed the door open.

"You...how on earth did you do it?" Lee Jordan stammered.

The three of them racked their brains trying to grab the key. What was it for?
At this moment, even Fred and George fell into self-doubt.

"I'm also not sure if this method works." Albert explained, "However, at present, it seems that wizards don't pay much attention to Muggle methods, so this loophole is left."
