Chapter 567: Night fun
Chapter 567: The joy of night travel
"You must have thought of this a long time ago and didn't let us tell Dumbledore about it."
Fred said as he excitedly patted Cedric on the shoulder next to him, "You are also a prefect, and you are much smarter than Percy...but you can definitely speak more clearly next time."
Is that what I think?
Cedric felt that they seemed to have misunderstood something. He really thought that he should find more evidence before going to Principal Dumbledore.
After all, one of the opponents is a referee and the other is a principal. If you just accuse them of cheating, no one will believe it.
But seeing the excited expressions on their faces, he finally had no explanation.
And Cedric also felt that what they said made sense. He also got inside information about the third project. Kyle, who could be the first to enter the maze, would definitely have an advantage over Krum.
So, the three of them looked at each other and recounted the news they had just heard.
“The plants provided by Professor Sprout are devil’s net, fang geranium and snake vine. They are all hidden in the hedges. You must be careful when you are in the maze.”
“There are many types of magical animals, but this shouldn’t be a problem for you.”
“The most dangerous animal is the Acromantula, and it is on the wrong route. You must run when you see it. There is no need to waste time..."
The three of them were talking to each other one by one. During the whole process, no one asked Kyle for his opinion.
There were several times when Kyle was about to say something, he was interrupted.
He originally wanted to say that even if Krum got this information, there would be no threat to him. After all, these things could be found out by just asking any magical animal in the maze.
But the three of them didn’t give him a chance to speak at all…
It was not until half past ten that Fred and George left the Hufflepuff common room.
The two of them were walking blatantly on the empty stairs without any cover.
"I think Bagman will definitely go to Karkaroff again..." Fred said as he walked: "I think we have to keep an eye on him to prevent him from revealing any new information to Karkaroff."
"Yes, that's what I think too." George nodded, "I want to cheat if I can't compete... No wonder the adults don't have a good opinion of Durmstrang. I thought it was because they taught black magic. ."
"But now they don't want to succeed." Fred shook a piece of parchment in his hand, "We will keep an eye on Bagman, and he can no longer try to reveal the news to Karkaroff without telling everyone. ."
The two of them quickened their pace and soon reached the eighth floor. As long as they walked along the corridor, they would reach the Gryffindor common room.
"But let me say that Karkaroff also did a good thing." George said suddenly: "After the cat was gone, the castle seemed to become quiet all of a sudden, which is great."
“And Filch.” Fred also said with a smile.
“That’s right.”
George said, “Without them, the night tour is not very exciting and a bit boring.”
The two of them continued walking forward, but just when they were about to reach the portrait of the Fat Lady, a dim yellow light suddenly appeared at the corner of the corridor.
Fortunately, the two reacted quickly enough, quickly retreated, and immediately used the Disguise Curse on themselves.
Soon, they saw Filch coming from another corridor in a sinister manner.
"Who's there? I heard you, come out!" he said gruffly, scaring Fred and George to the point where they couldn't breathe.
This corridor is not very spacious. As long as Filch gets a little closer, he can find two people in front of the wall.
One step, two steps... Filch was getting closer.
At this moment, a clanking sound suddenly came from downstairs, which attracted his attention.
Filch quickly picked up the oil lamp and chased after him.
… “That’s how it was, the oil lamp almost hit my nose.”
The next morning, Fred vividly described what happened last night.
"Who told you to save trouble and not use the Disillusionment Curse?"
Kyle took a piece of roasted corn and said, "Filch has not been fired. Daily inspections will definitely be indispensable."
"Who would have thought." George shrugged, "Now everyone knows that Filch will only come out once during curfew, and it was already very late when we came out, wasn't it?"
“Maybe he’s got his act together,” said Connor.
“If that’s the case, it’s not bad.”
Fred poked at the stew on his plate, "We kind of miss Filch."
“Without such a rival, we won’t even be interested in going out at night.”
The fun of night outing is the battle of wits and courage with Filch? This is probably something only Fred and George can say.
"Oh, wait, Bagman is here..." George accidentally glanced at the Marauder's Map and said suddenly.
The two of them quickly finished the food on their plates, got up and rushed out of the auditorium.
Cedric originally wanted to follow him, but he came back just as he ran to the door of the auditorium.
“They used the Disillusionment Curse.” Cedric spread his hands and said, “I can’t find the person.”
…
After a period of time, similar things happened many times.
Bagman seemed to have become a trap for the Weasley brothers. As long as it was not during class time, Fred and George would immediately run to him as soon as he appeared, sometimes taking Cedric with them.
The day when the third project started was also the end of the Hogwarts exams. They should have taken the time to review, but now they spent a lot of energy staring at Bagman and Karkaroff.
Although Kyle has said many times that there is no need to do this, they don't listen at all.
“You don’t have to worry about that at all, Kyle.”
After returning from the Quidditch field again, Cedric said: "The sixth grade courses are very easy. Our homework is even less than that of the third grade, and the time is completely enough."
"Yes." Fred nodded beside him, "And there's no need to worry about exams or anything like that. As long as we have O.W.L. results, it's enough. Even if we fall short on the sixth-grade final exam, mom won't say anything. "
“Are you sure?” Kyle raised his eyebrows.
"Hmm... I think so." Fred looked hesitant, but finally waved his hand.
“You don’t have to worry about this anymore, just prepare for the third project with peace of mind.”
"We are doing our best for Hogwarts." George took out something that looked like an ear and said, "If we can find evidence that Bagman and Karkaroff cheated... Mom will definitely understand."
“What if you can’t catch it, will you go back with a bad report card?”
The two of them suddenly fell silent.
"If that's the case..." After a moment, Fred said quietly: "Kyle, how about you let us borrow your attic for two months."
