A day at Hogwarts.

"What is... what's going on?"

Snape opened his hazy eyes, woke up from his lethargy, looked at the familiar layout of the room before him, closed his eyes again, and recalled some fragments of memory.

"Last night...it seemed like a nightmare?" Snape covered his eyes with the back of his hand, trying to recall what happened last night.He remembered that he vaguely heard a strange cry, and then... he couldn't remember anything.

Those things are not memories at all, Snape only vaguely remembered crying, and then he lost consciousness, what is going on?

While Snape was still thinking about the reason, he suddenly glanced at the clock in the corner and jumped up from the bed. He found that he slept until 09:30 in the morning.

This is an unforgivable sin for a potion master who is strict with himself.

Snape hurriedly got up and changed into his robes, reached out to pat his twitching face, and immediately rushed to the Potions classroom.

No doubt the Potions Master was late.

The news of Snape releasing the students' pigeons soon spread throughout the Hogwarts castle.

This can be regarded as a rare piece of big news. It's hard to imagine that someone like Snape would be late for class?

It is simply a rare new thing in ten years.

It took less than half an hour for this incident to almost spread throughout Hogwarts, and it was even more sensational than the stupid Slytherin students who were arrested in the night parade in the morning.

No way, it is hard for everyone to imagine that such a thing will happen.

Of course, no one dared to discuss this matter openly.No one wanted to be caught by Snape and become the chicken to make an example of others. Moreover, everyone noticed Snape's gloomy expression as if someone owed him [-] Galleons, so naturally they would not die.

"It's really a lively day!" Albert held his yawn, ate a slice of bread, and listened to the group of gossip-loving girls talking about interesting things by the way.

Last night, the underground haunting of the castle was widely talked about. Some people said that the eerie crying sound was actually Myrtle crying in the bathroom on the second floor, and some people said that it might be Peeves playing a prank. People... anyway, Albert is very happy to see this scene.

As for the Slytherin students who were caught by Filch, everyone was more watching the excitement. Anyway, seeing that Slytherin House was deducted points, the students in the other three houses were all in a good mood, as if they had drunk a lot. Taste of butter beer.

Knowing the truth, Fred and the others couldn't help themselves from laughing. They all knew that the unlucky Slytherin student had undoubtedly become Albert's scapegoat.

However, they were happy to see this scene, and there is nothing more gratifying than seeing a nasty guy have bad luck.

"Tell me, when will Snape find out that he has lost something?" Fred and the others were huddling together in the Room of Requirement to look at the pot of mandrakes that Albert got, and George beside him couldn't bear it anymore. He covered his stomach and laughed.

"Not so soon, Snape should be suspicious, unless they find that there is a pot of Mandrake missing in the greenhouse, but I don't think Professor Sprout will find out so soon, after all, the magical plants she needs to take care of are too many. There are too many pots, and I have to teach students every day, how can I have time to remember how many pots there are." Albert explained casually.

"That makes sense." George wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, nodded, "If Professor Sprout only planted those mandrakes, he would definitely find the problem, but she has too many things to care about, and it's impossible to know all of them. Remember it clearly."

"Are you going to return this pot of Mandrake?" Lee Jordan asked suddenly. With Albert's ability, he naturally had a way to send the Mandrake back to the question quietly.As long as the mandrake was returned, the matter was basically flawless, and even if Snape suspected that the crying came from the mandrake, he didn't have any proof.

"No, I still have use for this thing." Albert was already preparing to make it into a black magic item. As for the problem of salt, he believed that he would be able to solve it.

Not before, edible salt was not expensive.

"What if Snape guesses?" George asked, he believed that Snape was not stupid, as long as he contacted the castle rumors and went to Professor Sprout to make sure, these things would be connected in no time. We're together, maybe we won't be able to in the first two days, but we will definitely be discovered.

"So what if he finds out, he can't torture all the students, and ordinary students simply don't have the ability to quietly get a pot of mandrakes from the greenhouse and knock Snape unconscious , Snape protected his office with spells, do you think a second year student can break through those protective spells and break into his office?

"Besides, it rained yesterday? There were no footprints left on the ground." Albert blinked at the three of them, and said with a smile, "What's more, the Fat Lady wasn't there last night, even if Snape suspected that it was The Gryffindor students did it, and it is impossible for him to know from the mouth of the fat lady that the Gryffindor students left the dormitory in the middle of the night to go out at night."

"Unless Snape uses Veritaserum on every student, but the Ministry of Magic restricts the use of Veritaserum, and the medicinal materials needed for Veritaserum are also very precious, even if he wants to make more."

"My God, have you taken all this into account?" Fred couldn't help screaming.

"Of course." Albert continued: "Now, you are the only flaw, and I don't think Snape will suspect you at will, but you have to pretend that you don't know anything, and don't discuss it specifically. In short In a word, it's important not to attract Snape's attention."

"We know what to do." The three looked at each other and grinned.

"If the murderer can't be found, Snape will be mad." The four couldn't help laughing.

"By the way, when are we going out to find jumping toadstools?"

"This week, if it rains, go out and look for jumping toadstools." Albert thought for a while and said, "After potions class in the afternoon, go to the library to find information about jumping toadstools."

The book "Thousands of Miraculous Herbs and Mushrooms" actually has an introduction to the jumping toadstool, but it is not complete. They need to find a book called "Encyclopedia of Toadstools" in the library, from which they can find relatively safe Harvesting and storage methods.

"Remember, pretend you don't know anything, and don't let Snape notice you." Before leaving the Room of Requirement, Albert reminded again.

There's no way, they're going to have Potions class later.

"We know." The three said with serious expressions, and then all laughed again.

"Okay, okay, I think you'd better laugh here before you go out." Albert covered his face helplessly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
