Chapter 76: Headless hat
Gryffindor students are a group of people who are not afraid of things, and there are also many students who wander the castle late at night.
"What about you?" George asked.
"What do you mean?" Albert angrily tossed George the towel he used to wipe his hair.
"By the way, why do you have to take another bath at night?" George reached out and took the towel, then threw it back to Albert.
"Washing in the morning is in a good mood, and in the evening washing and sleeping well." Albert said naturally.
All three of them looked at him speechlessly, and didn't want to argue about this matter. They all knew that Albert could always find you a bunch of proper reasons when he talked about it.
"Can you really sleep well?" Lee Jordan asked nonchalantly, and then he went to the shower too.
Albert sat back on the bed and listened to the twins talking about the secret passage of the castle. He picked up the wand on the pillow and clicked the towel that was thrown beside him.
The magic body curse came into effect, and the towel seemed to disappear from the bed.
Albert picked up the invisible towel, put it in front of him, and took a look at it, and put it on his hand. The covered part disappeared, but overall there was still an inexplicable sense of disobedience.
Albert rolled the towel into a ball and observed the effect of the phantom spell. At some point, this sense of violation would become more abrupt.
"Your hand... how did you just do it?" Fred looked at Albert's left hand under the towel, widening his eyes in surprise.
"You mean this?" Albert handed Fred the towel from which he had released the phantom curse. "I used a phantom curse on the towel."
"Awesome." George also went over to study. "However, there is still a flaw."
"For the time being, this can only be done." Albert's phantom spell has been upgraded to level 1, but the effect of invisibility is still not as expected. As long as it is a smart wizard, it is not difficult to see the flaws. Use this magic to create an inferior cloak of invisibility."
"Invisibility cloak?" Fred asked puzzledly, "I've heard of this stuff, but why is it inferior?"
Albert explained, "The invisibility effect on the cloak will fade over time."
"Look, my hand is broken." Fred covered his hand with an invisible towel, blinked at George, and said, "If you don't look closer, you really can't see it."
"Wrap it around your head." Albert reminded.
Fred and George looked at each other, seeming to realize something, and the corners of their mouths showed off with malicious smiles.
The door was closed again, and the oil lamp in the room suddenly went out.
"What the **** are you guys doing, why don't you turn on the lights in the dormitory? Everyone is asleep?" Li Qiaodan, who had just taken a shower, just pushed open the wooden door of the dormitory, and found that it was dark inside. He couldn't help but frowned and complained.
A gleam of light suddenly lit in the darkness, and Lee Jordan looked towards the light source, only to see the twins standing by the table, turned around and forgot to come over here. The pale light of the wand tip moved up his body, and finally stopped on his shoulder.
Li Qiaodan has already seen clearly, this person actually... does not have a head.
"This..." The expression on Li Qiaodan's face froze, and he just stood there blankly.
To be honest, this scene still looks pretty scary, especially in the dark.
"Cough cough, stop making trouble, you all freaked him out!" Albert, holding back his laughter, reached out and pulled the invisible towel off Fred's head so that his head was exposed.
"He's all right!" George turned on the lights again, and looked at Li Qiaodan who was stunned, and cast a blaming look at his twin brother, as if everything was Fred's fault.
"I don't know, shouldn't you be frightened? Fred reached out to touch Lee Jordan, but Albert stopped him.
I don’t know how long it took, and Li Qiaodan hadn’t recovered from the daze, and the restless aura quietly spread in the room.
"Hahaha!" Li Qiaodan suddenly burst into laughter, shocking the three people in the room.
"Are you all right!" Fred asked tentatively.
"It's okay." Lee Jordan made a ghost look at the three of them. The reaction just now was obviously pretended. "However, I was really taken aback by you."
George said angrily, "We were just taken aback by you."
"By the way, the scene just now was really horrifying." Lee Jordan took the invisible towel that Albert handed over, and looked at it before his eyes. It seemed that he thought of something and asked. "You said, if you are scared like this Filch, will he just faint with fright?"
"It shouldn't be, after all, there are ghosts in the castle." Albert directly denied this possibility. People in the magic world have much better ability to accept and accept unknown things than ordinary people.
If you let your head disappear and walk around a crowded street late at night, you might be able to scare a bunch of people and even make headlines tomorrow.
"However, it is still quite scary to see other people's heads disappear suddenly Fred said, "Why is there no such thing in Joko's joke shop?" "
"Zoko is not young, he has passed the age of active thinking. Although he has the ability to turn ideas into jokes, but the inspiration is probably exhausted." Albert explained casually, "if he didn't have this. Inspiration, naturally can't make a headless hat."
"Headless hat?" Fred's eyes lit up, "That's a good name."
"Take it down, write this down." George quickly searched for a quill and parchment, "Someday, we might be able to make our own headless hat."
"Before that, you probably have to learn the spell carefully." Albert reminded.
"Uh, what's going on?" Li Qiaodan noticed that the invisible towel was no longer invisible.
"The phantom curse above is about to disappear." Albert checked the phantom curse on the invisibility towel. After all, this kind of thing cannot be like Harry Potter's invisibility cloak, which can remain invisible forever.
In other words, this thing is a bit like optical camouflage.
"It disappeared so soon?" Fred mumbled
Albert picked up the pocket watch on the pillow, scanned his eyes and said, "It lasted about half an hour."
"The duration is so short." George was a little disappointed.
"I haven't fully grasped it yet. How long do you expect it to last." Albert couldn't help rolling his eyes. The duration of the magic was related to the wizard who cast it.
Regarding the phantom spell, Albert is only at the initial stage of grasping. If it is Professor Flitwick, there should be a way to create a cloak of invisibility that lasts for a long time.
Of course, truly brilliant masters of spells don’t need to use invisibility cloaks at all. They can always use spells to make themselves invisible, and ordinary wizards can’t find them.
