Chapter 278: Patrick Under Attack (Part 2)
Principal Phineas Black and Principal Dexter Foster were still eagerly debating whether an invisibility cloak or an illusion charm would be better for a night stroll around the campus.
But Jon couldn't wait for the outcome of their discussion...... It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, which meant that Jon had been patrolling the castle for more than an hour, and any further delay would certainly raise suspicion.
Jon had no choice but to say goodbye to the headmasters, and then reappeared in the hallways of the castle by bypassing the ugly stone monster that had fallen asleep completely.
Of course, Jon's mind was still thinking about what the two headmasters had told him.
In fact, neither the Invisibility Cloak nor the Transfiguration Charm are of much use in this case. As the little head of this group of would-be Death Eaters who doubled as Umbridge's doglegs, he had eyes on him all the time, and he didn't have much time to spare.
Not even late at night, knowing that there were five Slytherin boys in the dormitory, two of whom were Death Eaters.
If they find out that they are not there in the middle of the night, it will definitely arouse suspicion.
After all, Slytherin is not like Gryffindor, and has a fine tradition of hanging out in the middle of the night.
At this critical juncture, if Umbridge is alerted or suspicious, it will be more than worth the loss.
That's why it's a bit tricky!
......
Within a few steps of the hallway, Jon met two Gryffindor seventh graders.
Fred and George Weasley were whispering and seemingly discussing something in front of the eighth-floor portrait of a troll battering Panama.
"What are you doing?" Jon exclaimed, making a haughty face, "It's so late that you don't go back to your dorm to sleep, Gryffindor ...... Buckle...... Forget it, add five points, it seems that there are no points deducted. ”
Fred Weasley looked a little angry, and judging by his expression, he even wanted to pull out his wand and attack Jon...... However, his younger brother, George Weasley, stopped him just in time.
The two gave Jon a hateful look, then left the side and walked towards the Gryffindor common room.
Jon also let go of the wand that his hand was clenching in his pocket, and he suddenly made a connection-
If memory serves, a few days after Dolores Umbridge became headmaster, the Weasley twin brother chose to leave the school, leaving Umbridge with a lot of trouble before leaving......
That's not the point, though. The point is that in the original book, before leaving, the Weasley brothers stuffed Monty, who was in sixth year Slytherin, into the vanishing cabinet on the second floor of the castle, and let poor Montey stay in the vanishing cabinet for several weeks before finding a chance to barely escape (after all, this vanishing cabinet is broken)......
......
A few minutes later, Jon returned to the Slytherin common room.
As he expected, Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson were waiting for him in the common room.
"Why are you back now, Christopher?" Pansy Parkinson asked, curiously, "What's wrong?"
"The Weasley twins of Gryffindor, they seem to be planning something. Jon said calmly, "I went to negotiate with them, and I was delayed for a while......"
"Those two have bad stomachs!" commented Malfoy on one side.
"By the way, is Monty there?" asked Jon.
"Ah!" "Ahhh
"I seem to hear the Weasley brothers mention your name......" Jon said casually, "I'm worried if you're in their way, it's all right." ”
"Oh, okay. Montay nodded angrily, and then sat down again.
"Let's all go and rest. Jon shouted, as if talking to himself, "I'll have to find out what the Weasley twins are up to tomorrow......"
The voice was quiet, but Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle, who were not far from him, could hear it clearly.
......
The next morning, the third day Dumbledore had left the campus.
Harry Potter walked out of the Gryffindor common room, still feeling a little regretful...... He knew very well that if he and Hermione hadn't recklessly established the "Dumbledore Army", Professor Dumbledore would not have left the campus.
Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger followed him, and they had just walked down the stairs when they met the oncoming brothers Fred and George Weasley.
Both of them looked excited.
"Did anything happy happen?" asked Harry, curious.
"yes, that Christopher Patrick in Slytherin was going to deduct our points just this morning. George Weasley replied.
"What do you mean...... What do you mean by 'intended'?" Ron asked, a little puzzled.
Because he couldn't finish his sentence. "Actually, we shoved him headfirst into the vanishing cabinet on the second floor," Fred said. ”
"It's the vanishing cabinet that we broke when we were in fourth grade. George on the side added: "Occasionally appear in the hallway on the second floor, and then I don't know where I was teleported, and I don't know where I went, and I don't come back until a few weeks later." ”
Hermione looked a little surprised, and she screamed, "You're going to get in big trouble......"
"yes!" Harry nodded, too, "Umbridge's toad trusts that Patrick." ”
"Not until he reappears, it will probably take a couple of weeks, because I don't even know where we're sending him to. Fred said coldly, "Anyway, we decided not to worry about getting into trouble anymore." ”
"Have you ever been worried?" Hermione asked.
"Of course, haven't we never been expelled?"
"We've always been aware of where to draw a line. ”
"We might occasionally go over one toe. ”
"But we always stop before we make a big mess. ”
Fred and George, you say it word by word.
"And now?" Ron asked, uncertain.
"Now that Dumbledore is gone, we're in this big trouble too!" George sneered, "We've decided to give Umbridge an even bigger surprise!"
"That's right, that's it!" Fred nodded.
......
"I don't know what they're trying to do, but I don't think it's a good thing!" Ron hung his head a little worried as the twin brothers left, "If they get fired, Mom will definitely blame me!"
Hermione's attention didn't seem to be on the twin brothers.
"Fred and George......" she muttered in a voice that only she could hear, "they stuffed that Slytherin Patrick into the vanishing locker?"
I don't know why, she thinks it's weird.
