Chapter 155 Conspiracy and Preparation

 Speaking of this, the smiles on Fred and George's faces suddenly disappeared.

Fred covered his face and said: "If you don't mention this, we are still friends."

"Wood seems to have lent his brain to the troll." George shook his head and said faintly: "He actually thinks that our little brother Ron has the same Quidditch talent as Charlie and wants to recruit him into the team."

"Merlin, let Ron be the seeker..." Fred seemed to have thought of something terrible, and trembled all over: "If that's really the case, we might as well just surrender, so at least we don't have to worry about it all. Make a fool of yourself in front of people.”

 “Fortunately Professor McGonagall didn’t agree.”

 “Harry Potter is more reliable than him.”

 …

Kyle glanced at them thoughtfully... these two people must not really have any prophecy talent.

“Let’s not talk about it anymore.” Fred stuffed a chicken drumstick into his mouth and said vaguely: “We plan to explore the fourth floor. Do you want to join us?”

Cedric frowned and said, "Are you talking about the room at the corner of the corridor on the fourth floor?"

Fred blinked.

“Besides there, is the fourth floor worth exploring?”

"But..." Cedric hesitated, "Didn't Principal Dumbledore say we are not allowed to go there?"

 “Don’t be stupid.” George shook his finger, as if you didn’t understand anything.

“Only forbidden places are worth exploring, just like no one goes to the Transfiguration classroom at night.”

 “The Potions classroom is a possibility.”

 “We went there when we were in first grade…”

 “Two big dung eggs were thrown there…”

 “It’s a pity that the smell was gone the next day.”

Kyle's eyes lit up and he said thoughtfully: "It's a good idea to go to the Potions classroom at night."

"No, Kyle." Fred shook his head and said, "We've already confirmed it. There's nothing interesting about it."

"The fourth floor is better." George said with a smile: "Principal Dumbledore is so great. He gave us such a great surprise on the first day of school."

 “Have you thought about it, do you want to come with us?” Fred asked again.

"But…"

Cedric was still hesitant, "It's very dangerous there, but you are not afraid..."

"You don't know Dumbledore very well."

Fred said seriously: "If it was really dangerous, he would never let us know."

"this…"

After seeing Cedric become hesitant, Fred and George looked at each other and continued:

 “Actually, we had already been there before the first day of school.”

Fred lowered his voice and said: "There is only one door there, not even a portrait."

"I think that is a test for us." George said with great confusion: "As long as you pass the test, you can add one hundred points to your college."

“It might be even better, get the special contribution award to the school!”

Cedric was a little moved. He felt that what the Weasley brothers said made sense.

Hagrid is guarding the Forbidden Forest, preventing young wizards from entering, but there is nothing on the equally dangerous fourth floor... This is indeed something wrong.

"Okay...I'll join!" Cedric thought for a moment and then added: "But I'm going to watch you so that you don't get into any big trouble."

"So that's it..." Fred said solemnly: "Then I'll bother Mr. Diggory." Then they looked at Kyle again.

"Don't look at me..." Kyle blinked, neither agreeing nor rejecting, but asked directly: "When do you plan to go."

 “It can be done at any time, but before that, there are two problems that need to be solved.”

Fred said: "First of all, we tried it before, and the unlocking spell couldn't open the door...Kyle, I remember you have a master key there, right?"

 “Yeah.” Kyle nodded.

The master key was sent with the invisibility cloak, but he has never used it much.

 “That should be no problem.”

George continued: "In this case, we only need to deal with Filch. He has been hanging around the fourth floor these past few nights, and we have to find a way to lure him away."

 “How about diverting his attention.”

Cedric suggested: "For example, before going to the fourth floor, throw a few big dung eggs somewhere else."

 “That’s what we thought too…but it doesn’t work.”

Fred shook his head and said: "This can only allow us to enter the room on the fourth floor smoothly, but we can't get out."

"If Filch had been guarding the door, and there were no other exits or secret passages in that room, we would have been trapped inside."

 “Filch can’t stay there all night.” Cedric was somewhat disapproving.

 “He really can,” Fred and George said in unison.

 In the past few nights, they had been observing Filch on the Marauder's Map. As a result, no matter when they looked at him, he was always on the fourth floor.

"How about asking other people to help." Cedric continued: "Agree a time, it can be an hour or two hours, and use the big dung egg to lure Filch away again."

"Are you sure...they will be able to wake up by that time?" Fred said quietly.

Cedric was stunned, he really wasn't sure.

And if you think about it carefully, even if that person can wake up and does what they agreed to do, it will still be useless if they fail to grasp the time or are trapped by something and cannot come out in time.

 “Let’s go and see Zuko.”

At this time, Kyle suddenly said: "There should be something there that can distract Filch at any time."

 “Haha, you and we are thinking of getting together.”

 After eating, Fred and George headed to Hogsmeade through the secret passage.

 When they came back, they had a book in their hands that everyone was familiar with.

 "Dark Powers: A Guide to Self-Defense"?

Cedric asked without knowing why: "Why did you buy it?"

"This is no ordinary book." Fred took them outside the castle, then took out a quill and said mysteriously: "Read it."

With a click, the quill was broken by him.

At the same time, the book began to shake violently, the pages inside flew everywhere, and made a series of crackling explosion sounds.

“Jokowi’s latest prank product.”

Fred said with a smile: "It is specially designed for little wizards who don't want to go to class. It can be said that it coincides with our quick-acting truant candy."

“With this, we can cause trouble for Filch at any time.” George took out two more identical books from his pocket.

 “What about controllable distance?” Kyle asked.

“It’s not very far, but it’s enough to lure Filch to another floor.”
