Chapter 199 Negligence
Late at night, the windows of Gryffindor Tower were still lit with lights. Several people in the dormitory have not rested yet, and are playing wizard cards together.
With the increase in the types of cards, the gameplay of wizard cards has become more diverse, giving players more room for free play.
"It's almost time." Albert drank the black tea in the cup, glanced at the pocket watch next to him, and said to the people around him.
"Really going?" Lee Jordan was still a little hesitant. Although he knew what Fred and George were capable of, he still didn't have much confidence.
“Aren’t you going?” Fred asked.
“Go, why not go?” Lee Jordan muttered. He knew that Albert and the others went out to hang out at night and had never been caught by Filch.
“Come on, come on, I’ll give you confidence.” George said with a smile.
"What confidence?" Lee Jordan approached suspiciously, but saw George taking out an old piece of parchment, shaking it and saying, "This is one of our secret weapons."
"Okay, stop making trouble and get ready to go." Albert picked up the wand and tapped George's head. A colorless and transparent film immediately enveloped his body. In full view of everyone, George Weiss Len disappeared.
“This is our second secret weapon.” Fred explained with a smile.
“What about the third secret weapon?” Lee Jordan asked curiously.
“I won’t tell you.” Fred and George said in unison.
“So, there is a third secret weapon?”
Albert also used the Disillusionment Curse on himself. After his body also disappeared, he said to several others: "The Disappearance Curse can last for about a few hours. I think the time should be enough."
“Aren’t you very excited? Very excited.” Fred touched Lee Jordan with his elbow and said.
“I’m George, and I’m with Lee Jordan.”
“I’m a little excited indeed. By the way, where are we going?” Lee Jordan asked. He was indeed a little excited. After all, this was his first night outing.
Hmm, that’s not right either. I went out with Albert once last time.
However, that time it was to find Fred and George, two scammers.
"I'm going to the library. You can ask Fred and George to take you around. We will meet in the room on the eighth floor. The entrance is the lounge." Albert said.
“What’s that room on the eighth floor?” Lee Jordan felt that these three guys didn’t tell him a lot of things.
“You’ll find out later,” Albert said.
“Don’t you need help?” George asked, “Looking for that book about the brain?”
"No, I plan to use the Flying Curse directly." Albert explained. He just thought that because he couldn't use the Flying Curse before, but now that he can, it will not be much difficult to find books.
In the novel, Hermione can use the Flying Curse to obtain books related to Horcruxes, which shows that the books in the library can actually be summoned using the Flying Curse. Although they are chained, as long as you know the book Where, it is very simple to pry open the iron chain locking the book.
"You can't cast a spell, can't you?" Fred looked at Albert in confusion. He still remembered that a month ago, Albert was talking about the fact that he couldn't cast a spell!
“You can’t learn it!” Albert said with a half-smile, “This spell is actually pretty good and quite practical.”
"Practical?" Fred couldn't help but mutter. He turned off the oil lamp in the dormitory and followed Albert out of the dormitory.
The four of them passed through the common room and emerged from the entrance. George, who was lagging behind, suddenly said, "Filch is patrolling the fifth floor."
“How do you know?” Lee Jordan asked suspiciously.
“Who is there?” the fat lady looked at the empty corridor and asked.
“Get out of here first.” Albert muttered, and he stepped forward to the secret passage leading to other floors.
"We'll help you lure Filch away." Fred's eyes lit up. "I brought dung bombs."
“I have strong glue here.” George was also eager to try.
“You’re asking for your own death,” muttered Lee Jordan.
"Inflatable Screaming Inflatable Skeleton." Albert handed something to Lee Jordan and reminded the others, "Don't go too far."
"We won't let Filch interrupt you looking for books." Fred's tone was also very excited. During the beginning of the school year, Filch often made trouble for them about the last semester.
“I have a feeling the castle is going to be lively tonight,” muttered Lee Jordan. He still did not refuse Albert's kindness and stuffed the inflatable screaming inflatable skeleton into his pocket.
They separated at the secret passage on the sixth floor. Albert went to the library alone, while the Weasley brothers took Lee Jordan to the fourth floor, preparing to play a hide-and-seek game with Filch.
…
At this moment, Filch, who was patrolling the corridor on the fifth floor, didn’t know yet that he was being watched.
Recently, Filch was in a very good mood, especially the last time he caught the Gryffindor student wandering around the castle in the middle of the night. The frightened expression on his face when he was caught by him was so wonderful. , and putting the other party in confinement made him in a good mood until now.
However, since that time, those students who dared to sneak out at night have almost disappeared.
“I don’t know when we will catch another one.”
Just when Filch was thinking this, he suddenly heard the sound of something falling to the ground downstairs. He immediately cheered up and hurried in the direction of the sound.
In fact, George and the others who had just reached the fourth floor through the secret passage "accidentally" knocked the helmet of an armor to the ground. This was the reason for the noise to ensure that Filch was attracted over.
This trick is actually very effective and has always been effective.
No, when Filch heard the noise, he hurried towards the fourth floor. Albert stood in the corridor outside the library, watching Filch's back as he hurriedly left. Walked in through the wooden door.
Filch hurried to the armor corridor with an oil lamp, his eyes fell on the armor on the ground, then he raised his head again, looked around, he bent down to pick up the helmet, and whispered: "Hiding, right? I will Got you, Peeves!"
The next second, Filch was stunned because he found that the helmet was stuck to the ground for some reason. No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't get the helmet off.
"Is it Peeves, or..." Filch looked around with an oil lamp, and suddenly he heard the sound of someone running.
“Those little bastards.” Filch cursed in a low voice, threw down his helmet, stood up and chased in the direction of the footsteps. No matter how stupid he was, he would have guessed that someone was deliberately playing a trick on him.
However, Filch was not angry, on the contrary, he was ecstatic. He was not afraid of students wandering around the castle at night, but he was afraid that no one would dare to come out at night.
“I’ll catch you.”
Filch's eyes flashed dangerously in the darkness, and he couldn't wait to see the frightened expressions on the faces of those students after he caught him.
However, Filch didn't know that the footsteps just now were actually made by Fred deliberately to attract Filch's attention.
The game of cat and mouse has officially begun.
The battle of wits and courage with Filch is undoubtedly one of the great pleasures of Fred and George at Hogwarts. They had the Marauder's Map in their hands and the Disillusionment Charm on their bodies. With these two insurances, they got up in the middle of the night and wandered around and were caught by Filch?
nonexistent.
"It's so exciting. How do you think Filch will catch up with us and take a shortcut?" Lee Jordan followed closely behind Fred and communicated with him in a low voice.
"Of course we are taking a shortcut. He will probably rush to the front through the secret passage to block us. Take the stairs and lead him farther away." Fred threw a big dung bomb into the corridor and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Fei Erqi can't stop us."
Fifth floor, inside the library.
Albert has crossed the rope in front of the restricted book area and is walking in the restricted book area. He raised his wand and whispered softly: "The "Advanced Occlumency Guide" is coming."
For a moment, there was only a creaking sound, and one of the large bookcases was pulled to one side by a chain.
Albert, who was about to walk over, was stunned and could not close his mouth from ear to ear.
The next moment, he realized something was wrong.
“The curse stops immediately!”
He had already seen the "Advanced Occlumency Guide" that was summoned by the flying spell. However, because the bookshelf tilted completely, it also brought down the bookshelf in front of it, like a boney Nomi card.
With a bang, Albert felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and the loud noise spread throughout the castle.
Albert never thought that because of the summons of the Flying Curse, the book would pull the iron lock and bring the bookshelf down by the way?
The Flying Curse is simply poisonous!
“Restore to the original state!” Albert waved his magic wand and tried to restore the bookshelf and books to their original state. In fact, his magic worked, and the overturned books and bookshelf began to return to their original state.
But Albert did not dare to linger in the library and immediately ran away from the door, forgetting even the idea of looking for the "Advanced Occlumency Guide".
