Chapter 78: Night Tour
At midnight, everyone in the dorm went to bed.
Fred quietly pulled the sheets, got up from the bed, walked to George's bedside, reached out and nudged it twice, and made a shushing motion.
George slowly got up, put on his robes again, picked up his wand, and tiptoed out of the room, while Fred gently closed the door behind him.
The two walked up the spiral staircase into the Gryffindor's common room.
There was no one in the lounge anymore, and the fire in the fireplace had burned out. The two of them did not leave the lounge immediately, but found an armchair to sit down.
Fred pulled the old piece of parchment from the pocket of his robe and tapped it lightly with his wand, "I solemnly swear that I have done nothing good. ”
"Me too. Next to him, George muttered, and immediately brought his lighted wand over to illuminate the map of the living spot for Fred.
After the castle map was constructed, Fred spread the map on the table, and the two began to search for Filch's name, the obnoxious Mr. Administrator who was resting in a bedroom next to the administrator's office on the first floor, while his cat, Lady Loris, was patrolling the fifth floor.
Peeves was in the history of magic classroom on the second floor, and Dumbledore was pacing back and forth in the headmaster's room.
"Where's Percy?" asked George in a low voice.
Fred raised his hand and pointed to Percy's dorm room and said, "Sleeping." ”
"Okay, the night tour begins!" Fred and George high-fived each other, put away the map of the activity site, and prepared to go.
It's just that as soon as the two climbed through the portrait passage, they were targeted by the fat lady: "At this point in time, where are you going to go?"
"Night tour, ma'am. Fred grinned.
The fat lady was also stunned, she never thought that someone would talk about night lobbying so reasonably.
"Let's go!" George, who was behind him, reached out and pushed Fred, and the two quickly disappeared around the corner of the hallway.
Standing in the dark and silent hallway, the Weasley twins' emotions began to get high, and with the Living Point Map in hand, the entire Hogwarts Castle would be completely open to them.
As for Filch, never try to catch them.
"Albert will definitely regret not coming with us for the night tour. Fred said happily to George after reascertaining Filch's position.
"I think Albert may have to wait until he learns the Transfiguration Charm before he comes on a night tour with us. George's tone was filled with unconcealed excitement, "However, this is the first time we've used a live map, and it's not bad to use it alone." ”
In fact, the twins are also reluctant to share the secrets of the live map with too many people.
"When we figure out all the secret passages in the castle, we'll be able to scare both of them. Fred said with a smile.
During the day, there are some secret passages, and they can't try them openly, but at night there is no one in the castle, so they don't need to worry too much, and this is a good opportunity.
Fred took the map of the living spot to the front, the corridor was pitch black and eerie, and every time he turned a corner, he felt his little heart pounding.
It's a thrilling feeling!
"Stop!" Fred quickly extinguished his wand and made a shushing gesture at George behind him.
"What's wrong. ”
"It's Nick, who almost lost his head. ”
After waiting for about thirty seconds, Fred, under George's cover, re-lit his wand to check the location of Nick, who was almost dead.
"It's gone!" Fred said.
The two crept down the stairs and stopped in front of a statue of a knight in armor on the seventh floor.
On the map of the living spot, an ink dot marked "Fred" is tapping the position of the knight's helmet mask with his wand, and a spell appears next to it: "Turn mouth into door." ”
The two looked at each other and melted their mouths?
"I'll try, turn words into doors. George extinguished the lights, picked up his wand and tapped the helmet visor of the stone knight's armor.
The knight's helmet statue suddenly bent down, and the mask he opened suddenly opened, and kept expanding, like a man bending down and opening his mouth wide, and the entrance was large enough for a slightly thinner person to enter.
Fred glanced at the map and quickly walked in to make sure there was no one, with George following close behind.
It's a narrow passage, and the ground is covered with dust and cobwebs.
"I dare say this road hasn't been walked for a long time. Fred used his wand to open the cobwebs in front of him, and made his way down, and there was a door at the exit, a stone door, and as Fred and George walked through, they found themselves blocked by a wooden door.
"Where is this?" asked George.
"Fourth floor, I remember where it was. Some doors open to reveal a stone door that cannot be opened. ”
"I dare say it's a single channel. George said as he reached out and pushed the stone door.
Some of Hogwarts' doors weren't real doors at all, just sturdy walls that looked like doors, and now it seems that these were actually doors, and they were secret doorways. However, they can only pass through the other side of the door, not directly from this side.
George carefully left the wooden door closed, and just raised his wand, a grumbling sound sounded in the portrait of a sleepy person wearing a nightcap next to him.
"Watch out, boy, we're going to sleep. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry!" George immediately lowered his wand and said to Fred, "Get out of here first." ”
"Go this way, I know there's a secret passage here!" Fred led the way as he walked briskly as they stopped at a vase around the corner of the third floor.
George stepped forward and tapped twice on the vase with his wand, "Turn left and right." ”
There was a slight friction sound in the vase, and a black dot suddenly appeared in a landscape painting hanging on the wall next to it, and the black dot gradually magnified, and soon saw a door, George stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the doorknob, and gently pushed, the original picture frame opened, revealing the entrance hidden behind.
When the two of them entered, they realized that it was actually a secret passage leading to the outside of the castle, and the exit was on the mountain road leading to the dock. The entrance was covered by weeds, and more importantly, no one could see that there was a secret passage.
When the twins came out, the entrance wall gradually returned to its original state.
"Who would have known there was an entrance here. Fred reached out and knocked on the rock of the mountain wall, and it was so hard that he couldn't imagine that there was a door here.
"How are we going to get in, don't tell me it's blowing all night here. George clasped his hands and shivered in the night wind.
"Let me see. Fred glanced at the map of the living spots, and sure enough, there was still a way to teach them how to open the entrance.
"Hit the raised stone three times?" He muttered to himself, looking for the stone described on the map, "Quickly open the hole." ”
There was a sudden change on the stone wall, and a hidden stone wall appeared in front of the two of them, and the stone wall slowly opened.
The two hurriedly got in, the wind was a little cold at night, George almost caught a cold, and sneezed several times on the way back.
"You're alright. Fred asked.
"It seems to be a little cold. George rubbed his nose and said.
"That's all for today, there's class tomorrow. Fred covered a yawn.
George agreed.
