"What's wrong?"

Katrina heard the sound from the door, and looked up suspiciously at Albert and Isobel who hurried back to the Room of Requirement, wondering what they were doing.

Albert ignored Katrina, took out a piece of parchment from the pocket of his robe, and unfolded it to confirm the exact location of Ginny Weasley at the moment.

If the basilisk was released from the Chamber of Secrets, Ginny Weasley would definitely be near the basilisk.

However, the situation was different from what Albert thought, Ginny Weasley was in the Gryffindor common room at this time, not wandering in Hogwarts Castle.

So, just a farce?

Albert couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. After all, the detection ball was just an experiment, so it wouldn't be surprising if something happened.

Isobel stared at the ink-dotted footprints on the map on Albert's hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

Then, she saw Albert pull out another more detailed map, the Marauder's map that she had seen before. Albert unfolded the Marauder's map and carefully inspected the corridors around the Room of Requirement, finding no footprints of any creatures.

The absence of footprints does not mean that there are no creatures around.

At least, as far as Albert knows, animals without names don't seem to work. Those spiders, mice, and cockroaches without names can't be displayed on the Marauder's map.

Only pets like Filch's cat, or other students with named pets, appear on the Marauder's map.

Albert is also not sure if the basilisk has a name of his own.

However, one thing is certain, Voldemort's diary cannot be displayed on the map. To a certain extent, Tom's state is worse than that of a ghost or even the most humble wandering soul.

Albert doesn't know if the basilisk has a name, but seeing Ginny Weasley in the common room, he can probably be sure that it was just a false alarm.

Just, why did the detection ball react just now?

Albert returned his gaze to the detection ball. After this thing entered the Room of Requirement, the reaction completely disappeared.

"Sure enough, is it Oolong?"

It is said that the detection range of the sight glass is a mile in a radius, and the detection range of the pocket sight glass should not be so wide. And the detection ball in his hand is purely a product made by imitating a speculum.

Well, if that's the case, then it's clear.

Although Albert feels that this is just forced self-comfort, he really can't find any other reasonable explanation at present.

In short, Ginny Weasley was not walking outside, which really reassured him a lot.

Of course, there are other possibilities for everything. Perhaps, the pipes in Hogwarts Castle extend in all directions, and the basilisk was moving in the pipes just now, but only appeared very close to Albert, and was just caught by the detection ball.

The entrance to the secret room is not only in the bathroom on the second floor.

Honestly, that's unlikely.

Otherwise, Tom wouldn't have controlled Ginny Weasley to enter Slytherin's secret room from the entrance of the girls' bathroom on the second floor. Crying Myrtle is often there. when.

"Are you all right?" Isobel asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Albert shook his head and said, "It was probably a false alarm. This thing really needs to be improved."

"What are you doing?" Katrina looked at the two who were whispering together.

"It's nothing, let's go back first." Albert took a deep breath, pulled up Isobel's soft palm, and warned, "Also, it's better not to run around."

With that said, Albert and Isobel left the Room of Requirement together. The detection ball began to heat up again, and finally cracked in the middle, completely broken.

Albert was immediately speechless.

He kind of understands why he didn't get the skill panel certification after he made this thing.

"The basilisk problem needs to be resolved ASAP.

"

Albert is envious of those who are ignorant. Sometimes ignorance is a blessing.

"Sure enough, it's all Tom's fault."

Just after returning to the lounge, I saw Kenneth Toler hurried over to ask about the amulet.

"I have already made the sample, don't sell this." Albert took out the bracelet and handed it to Kenneth, who looked up and down after knotting it, which is a bit different from the European style of painting, but as long as you can see it , you will feel that this thing is actually very good.

"When you put it on, you can bounce back the curse, which is a bit like casting spells without a staff. It should also have a banishing effect on ordinary dark creatures, but don't expect the effect to be strong. And..." Albert said in a low voice, "I guess it will be useful for the secret room. The monsters in it don't work."

"No, if it can achieve the effect you said, this thing is already amazing." Kenneth Toller looked excited and couldn't wait to test the effect of the amulet.

"Can I get someone to test it?"

"Yes, but you can't sell it for less than 10 Galleons, or you will definitely lose money." After Albert gave Kenneth Toler some tips, he began to look around for Ginny Weasley's location.

Ron's sister was in the corner of the lounge, not knowing what one was doing.

Albert sat in the vacant seat next to Ginny, looked at the red-haired girl who was startled by him, and asked gently, "Are you alright."

After speaking, he took out a piece of chocolate and put it in front of Ginny, and said to the hesitant girl, "Eat some sweets to make you feel better."

"thanks."

Ginny's hands trembled a little, took the chocolate, unwrapped it, put it in her mouth, and said thank you again.

"If you often have nightmares, go to Madam Pomfrey and get some medicine to make you feel better." Albert's tone was calm, his eyes fell on the blank diary on the table, and he quickly looked away. .

In the open space, Kenneth Toller was looking for someone to test the bracelet, which could reflect the effect of the curse, which immediately aroused the idea of ​​​​the students in the lounge.

Kenneth quickly became the object of countless attention.

"Look at the showy face of that guy Kenneth."

Fred, George and Lee Jordan walked towards Albert, a little disdain for Kenneth's actions, those things were left over from their play.

"Are you all right, Ginny, you don't look good."

"Percy says you have nightmares a lot."

"I'm fine." Ginny closed the notebook in a panic, Albert's sharp eyes, noting that the first page read in vague ink: Tom Riddle.

"You said, how much can he sell?" George asked curiously.

"The price of this thing is very expensive, and it is estimated that it will not be able to sell a few."

"Actually, if this thing can be sold outside, it is estimated to be more valuable." Albert suddenly said, "After all, most of the students are relatively poor."

"Aren't you afraid of him imitating?" George suddenly said, "That guy has a dark history."

"Don't be afraid, even if he finds someone to imitate it successfully, it is probably an inferior product."

Albert didn't care about it. The bracelet was a collection of his knowledge, and it involved many fields. Alchemy was not that simple. The more he communicated with Nicole Lemay, the more he agreed with it.

When Kenneth came to Albert after the show, he ordered two amulets, each costing 15 Galleons.

"It's good money. But would anyone really want to pay for it?"

Ron, who heard the two talking beside him, couldn't help but murmured.

George looked at the dumbfounded Ron, reached out and patted her on the shoulder and said, "That's the power of knowledge."

"Albert is really powerful." Hermione also witnessed the effect of the curse being bounced back just now, and couldn't help but sigh, "However, is this thing really effective against monsters in the secret room?"

"I ordered one too," Harry said suddenly.

"Harry, what did you buy this for?" Hermione asked in confusion.

"Next time, if there's a conflict with Malfoy, wouldn't I be able to use the amulet to bounce back his curse and then take the opportunity to give him a hard lesson?" Harry felt prescient.
