Chapter 279: The Missing Patrick (Part 1)
An hour later, Harry understood what the Weasley brothers meant by "big surprise".
They were in a Charms class, and Professor Flitwick was standing on the podium passionately teaching them how to use the Spell of Expulsion...... However, there was a "boom" noise downstairs that caused the class to be interrupted......
Curious, they walked out of the classroom and saw Principal Umbridge sprinting downstairs with his wand raised.
At the same time, there was chaos downstairs, as if someone had lit a large box of enchanted fireworks......
Professor Flitwick did not stop the students from leaving the classroom to "watch", and when they reached the staircase, they immediately found the source of the riot.
All sorts of fireworks were flying around the hallway, spewing brilliant fiery red air currents and making loud explosions along the way......
Filch was holding a large broom in the middle of the stairs, and he looked a little frightened.
Umbridge waved her wand aimlessly, spewing out a variety of spells, but these spells did little to eliminate the fireworks.
Professor Flitwick also happened to squeeze through the crowd to see what was going on...... But when he saw Filch and Umbridge in a state of embarrassment, he squeezed back the same way as if nothing had happened.
Harry felt like he couldn't even laugh straight......
A few minutes later, he quickly found Fred and George through the live map, who were hiding behind a tapestry, listening to Umbridge and Filch shouting and holding back laughter.
"You've done a great job!" Harry couldn't help but compliment, "I think you're going to ruin the Jokowi joke shop." ”
"I wish Umbridge would have thought of using the Vanishing Charm. George Weasley smirked, "It's going to surprise her even more." ”
......
For an entire day, these fireworks burned all over the school.
In particular, the other professors don't seem to care about their presence......
For example, during Transfiguration class, a dragon-like firework suddenly appears and makes a loud explosion. Professor McGonagall just said with some sarcasm, "Miss Brown, could you please run and tell the Headmaster that there is a fireworks in our classroom?"
Umbridge spent the whole day wandering around the castle, but after a few hours, she finally found a way to deal with the fireworks...... And let the members of the special operations team help her finally solve these fireworks.
In the evening, a disheveled, smoke-blackened Umbridge returned to her office hobbling and sweating.
He was followed by Filch and the rest of the Einsatzgruppen.
"Did you see Christopher?" Umbridge, looking embarrassed, suddenly remembered something.
Malfoy froze, then shook his head.
After a day of exhaustion, they didn't notice, and Christopher Patrick barely showed up for a day.
"We saw him last night in the common room in Slytherin. Pansy Parkinson muttered, "That seems to be the last time I'll see him, as for today......"
"Patrick ...... last night" Malfoy suddenly had an idea, and hurriedly shouted, "He seems to be suspicious of the Weasley brothers in Gryffindor, could it be that he went to the Weasley brothers and was attacked by them?"
"The two most mischievous students in seventh grade?" Umbridge snorted, frowning.
"That's right. Malfoy nodded, "I suspect that they were the ones who did the fireworks this time, and they are quite good at it." ”
"Very well, let's go find them in the Gryffindor common room!" Umbridge shouted.
"Principal Umbridge......" Pansy Parkinson asked in a whisper, glancing at his dark clothes, "Can I go back and take a shower before that?"
......
There is no doubt that too much time is lost in showering and changing.
By the time they reached the Gryffindor common room, the Weasley brothers were nowhere to be seen.
The only thing that is certain is that they are still in school...... In the days that followed, a classroom would burst into a more intractable fireworks, a hallway turned into a swamp, or Umbridge's office would be attacked by a sniffer......
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that other students did it in the name of the Weasley brothers.
The whole school was in chaos, and all the teachers seemed to have lost their magic, and there was nothing they could do about the situation in the school.
Peeves also began to make trouble, and for the first time in his life, the mischievous ghost was so popular with teachers and students alike. He laughed wildly every night, flipped the desks and caused trouble in the classrooms, or knocked down the statues and vases, and on two occasions put Lady Loris in a suit of armor......
Harry had never been happier this semester.
In addition to having fun, he also has the duty of spying on Filch and Umbridge through the map of the living spots, preventing them from spotting Fred and George.
Fred and George were in the hallway on the fourth floor...... Filch was close to them...... Danger......" Harry shouted as he looked at the map, "Ron, inform them!"
"Okay. Ron Weasley expertly pulled out a gold Galleon and took out his wand and aimed it at it.
Hermione's golden Galleon has a magic spell, and when one side changes, the other side will be notified.
Relying on their warnings, and the Weasley brothers' own knowledge of the Hogwarts Secret Tunnels...... Umbridge, Filch, and the Einsatzgruppen students simply couldn't catch them.
"They're safe. Harry, who continued to stare at the map of the living spots, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Weasley brothers and Filch were going in diametrically opposite directions.
"Wait, Harry!" Hermione let out a sudden scream, and she pulled over the map of the living spots.
"What are you doing, you almost tore it off?" Harry shouted with some displeasure.
Hermione shuddered slightly and pointed to the headmaster's office, "I just saw a name here, behind that ugly stone statue at the door. ”
"It can't be. Harry shook his head, "No one can get into the Headmaster's office. ”
"But......" Hermione said hesitantly, her tone softening.
She did see a name just now, and it disappeared immediately.
It must have been an illusion, Hermione thought to herself, because—
The name she saw was "Jon Hart", who was supposed to have died nine months ago......
