Chapter 156: Dumbledore is serious!
Chapter 156 Dumbledore is serious!
A few people worked together to complete all the necessary preparations in only half a day.
The two exploding books were placed on the fifth and sixth floors respectively, just above the corner corridor. The distance was just right, and Filch could be lured there at any time.
everything's ready.
But not long after a few people decided to go on a group night tour to explore the fourth floor tonight, something unexpected happened.
Several senior students in Gryffindor didn't even wait for the curfew, and sneaked to the fourth floor while others were having dinner at night.
It's just that unlike the Weasley brothers, they didn't make any plans at all before, and they didn't have the Marauder's Map as a strategic tool. They just ran over as soon as their minds got hot.
Needless to say, the result was that before they even opened the door, Filch, who had been ambushing nearby, caught them and took them to Professor McGonagall's office.
Not long after, Gryffindor's hourglass was missing fifty points.
But it’s not over yet.
After a period of time, whether it was Ravenclaw, Slytherin or Hufflepuff, someone secretly left the common room and ran to the fourth floor.
Fred and George, who were staring at the Marauder's Map, were dumbfounded. In the usually quiet corridor, several names suddenly popped up from time to time today.
Probably too many young wizards were caught. After some discussion, several professors simply came out of the office and took turns waiting for the students who were wandering around at night near the fourth floor.
No matter who you are, as long as you are caught, you will get ten points plus a confinement package.
I have to say that the professor is much more troublesome than Filch...
George set off a few magical fireworks on the first floor, trying to lure them away.
Without any surprise, Filch cursed and went downstairs after hearing the noise, while Professor McGonagall followed him with a serious expression.
Near the stairs on the second floor, Fred, who was hiding in the shadows, looked at the Marauder's Map and sighed quietly, "Professor McGonagall must have gone too far."
On the map, Professor McGonagall's name is still near the fourth floor, and Filch also went downstairs alone.
Obviously, the Professor McGonagall they just saw was fake. It must be a high-end transfiguration technique.
In this situation, it is probably impossible to go on an adventure again. After some discussion, they decided to wait until the news of the incident had passed, and then each returned to their dormitory.
…
This period is three days.
Three days later, late at night, four people appeared in the corridor of the school quietly.
“Fred, George…”
Cedric, who was walking at the end, lowered his voice and said, "Are you sure the professors are not going to the fourth floor anymore?"
“We stared at it for a long time last night.”
Fred whispered: "The professors have not been to the fourth floor since the weekend, and today should be no exception."
“It’s coming soon.”
A few people stopped near the third floor. George Qianzhi lowered his head and looked at the Marauder's Map.
"We are lucky, the professors are not here, and Filch is... Oh, Merlin, guess who I saw!"
"Who?" Fred said with a smile, "It can't be Percy."
"It's not Percy, it's Ron..." George said in surprise: "There are also Harry, Hermione and Neville. The four freshmen are in the prize room at this time."
"Aha..." Fred couldn't help but laugh: "I took my friends on a night out just after school started. Tsk, he is indeed our younger brother..."
“哐啷啷…”
At this moment, a series of crisp crashing sounds suddenly came.
It seemed that someone knocked down the armor in the corridor. The sound of those metal parts hitting the ground was very loud, especially in such a quiet environment, which was extremely harsh.
“Oh, damn, they were discovered!” George raised his head and said: “Now there is two pieces of news.
The good news is that Filch's attention is on Ron and the others, and now is a good opportunity for us to act.
The bad news is that they are making too much noise and may attract the professor at any time. "
“Looks like we have to hurry up.”
Fred glanced at the map and walked faster towards the fourth floor.
On the map, Harry and Ron are moving rapidly in this direction. If this continues, Filch will be led here soon.
After reaching the fourth floor, the group quickly followed the instructions on the Marauder's Map and arrived at a door at the end of the corridor.
“Students don’t sleep!”
At this time, Peeves' angry roar suddenly came from not far away, "The students are not sleeping, they are in the corridor of the Charms classroom!"
“I take back my previous opinion, Ron is indeed an idiot.”
George put down the Marauder's Map and reached back.
Soon, a bronze key appeared out of thin air in his hand.
“Thanks, Kyle…”
George inserted the key into the lock and opened the door with a slight twist.
“They’re coming, fast forward…oh, damn, what is this!”
When George was about to enter the door, he looked up and saw three pairs of bright green bean eyes staring at him.
In the corridor behind the door was a monster-like big dog. What he just saw were the eyes of this dog.
It has three heads and is so big that it fills all the space from ceiling to floor.
After the door was opened, the big dog with three heads stood up, its three noses twitching and trembling towards them.
Three saliva-covered mouths suddenly opened, revealing rows of ferocious yellowed dog teeth.
“Damn it, Dumbledore really didn’t lie to us this time...Run!”
George didn't have time to think about it, turned around instinctively, and ran away.
Fred and Cedric naturally saw the appearance of the three-headed dog. The moment it pounced, all adventure and curiosity... all disappeared.
They knew very well what those deafening roars meant.
Without speaking or needing to communicate, the two quickly followed George and started running in the corridor.
Although doing so would most likely result in discovery, between Filch and becoming dog food, they would rather choose Filch.
The three of them didn't even look back, and didn't stop until they reached the kitchen door.
“Principal Dumbledore is serious!”
George panted and said: "Merlin, he actually put an adult three-headed dog in the school. What does he want to do?!"
"I dare say there must be something hidden in there." Fred's eyes flashed and he said: "Did you notice that the dog was standing on a trap door?"
George sighed and said: "It's useless, you can't expect it to make way for us."
"etc…"
At this moment, Cedric suddenly said: "Has any of you seen Kyle?"
“Didn’t he come back with you?” Fred was startled, and then he realized that there were indeed only three people here.
Kyle disappeared at some point.
