Rumble!

The sound of bookshelves toppling over was enough to wake up the entire castle.

At this moment, the three Freds, who were playing a game of mouse and cat with Filch on the third floor of the castle, were also startled by this loud noise, and stopped one after another, pricking up their ears to listen to the sounds around them.

Originally, Filch, who was still chasing a few people, also stopped and looked in the direction where the voice came from in shock.

The voice seemed to be coming from the direction of the fifth floor. Filch muttered to himself, and immediately turned and hurried in the direction of the library.

"What's the matter with that noise just now?" said George, who couldn't hold back his curiosity.

"I don't know, maybe Albert made it, go back to the break room first. Fred immediately said, "Before the noise just now lured the other professors over, hurry back." ”

"Quick!" George shouted, and the three of them began to run down the hallway at full speed, and they had to get back to the common room before the professors appeared. Because Albert had told them that the Hogwarts professors had the ability to see through their illusion charms.

Running through one corridor after another, the three of them made their way to the seventh floor through a secret passage next to the corridor. Halfway through, Lee Jordan said, "Shall we go to the rendezvous?

"That guy must have run before us. ”

"Straight back to the common room. ”

In fact, they did the right thing, and not long after the sound sounded, several of the professors in the castle had already been awakened by the sound and came to check on the situation.

In the hallway, the portraits in the aisles were running back and forth, trying to figure out what was going on.

By the time Filch inspected the fifth floor, Albert had already fled the scene of the crime, and he was moving faster than they did.

Before leaving, Albert did not forget to close the entrance to the library.

It was for this reason that Filch could not find the scene of the crime for a while, he only knew roughly where the sound came from, but when he went to check, he found nothing.

The culprit of all this is hurrying to the Gryffindor common room.

Albert tried not to make a sound, but the people in the portrait had already been awakened by the sound just now, and when they heard the slight footsteps, they all turned their faces curiously and looked at the hallway where there was nothing.

Once upstairs, Albert walked halfway down the hallway, then lifted a tapestry on the wall and went up a narrower staircase, a shortcut that led to the eighth floor.

As for Fred, they should not be caught if they have a map of the living spots, but Albert is not worried about their safety at all.

When he came to the entrance to the common room, he didn't remove the magic on his body, and waited for Fred and the others.

A few minutes later, several people hurried to the scene, looked at Albert, who was still waiting for them outside, and asked puzzledly, "Why don't you go into the lounge?"

"When we're invisible, the fat lady won't open the door for us. Albert reminded, "Come with me, first go to the room where you need to rest." Just in case, we still don't want to be seen. ”

The three of Fred looked confused, but they still followed Albert to the Room of Requirement, in this case, they were willing to trust Albert's judgment, after all, Albert's brain was much better than theirs, and there must be a reason for him to do so.

On the other side, Filch was patrolling the library, as the sound was indeed a bit like the library's bookshelves collapsing. However, when Filch entered the library, he did not find any signs of collapse on the shelves.

Yes, no, even in the forbidden area, there was still no sign of the bookshelves collapsing, as if there had never been that sound just now.

At this moment, Filch knew that he had been tricked, yes, he had been tricked, just like the helmet that had been glued to the floor on the fourth floor just now, and the damn shit that had been thrown in the hallway, including the sound here, it was all someone playing with him.

Yes, it was the bastards he was chasing, and Filch vaguely guessed who it was.

The Gryffindor twins, although there was no evidence, Filch had a hunch that the two of them did it.

"Filch, what's going on?"

Snape walked into the library in a long gray shirt-style pajamas with a gloomy face.

"I just heard a noise and came over to check on the situation, and I think it's probably something that some students did on purpose. Filch turned to Snape and whispered, "I was chasing them just now, and there were several students wandering around the castle in the middle of the night, professor." ”

"Students, good, we'll catch them. Snape looked around the library and into the forbidden section, but found no signs of the shelves collapsing.

"What's going on?" Professor McGonagall walked in quickly, her plaid dressing gown and hairnet, her eyes scanning the library with a stern gaze that she apparently thought was a bit like the sound of a bookshelves collapsing.

"Someone was in the library just now, in the forbidden book section. Filch immediately said: "I was looking for a few students who were wandering around the school in the middle of the night, they should be in a group, and besides, they are likely to be ...... Students of Gryffindor. ”

"Do you have a good case?" Professor McGonagall asked, frowning.

"What's going on here. Smith appeared outside the door in a bronzed pajamas, "Is this going to be a slumber party?"

"Somebody made a loud noise here, professor, we suspect the students made it, and there are several students wandering around the school tonight. Filch said in a low voice, he rarely spoke out loud in front of professors.

"Filch, you said it was probably a Gryffindor student?" Professor McGonagall asked. "Is there any evidence?"

"You can ask the gatekeeper at the entrance to Gryffindor. Snape said suddenly. He would have liked to see the Hogwarts students unlucky and deducted points.

"Well, that's a good idea. Filch nodded.

Professor McGonagall frowned slightly, but ultimately did not object.

Several professors made their way to the eighth floor, and found Gryffindor's gatekeeper, Fat Lady, at the entrance to Gryffindor.

"Ma'am, did anyone just enter the common room?" asked Professor McGonagall.

"Nope. The fat lady said.

"Are there any students leaving?" Snape asked.

"Yes. The fat lady said.

"Who are they?" Filch asked impatiently.

"I don't know, they're invisible. The fat lady said.

"Just look at who's not in the dormitory to know who's just wandering around the castle. Snape suggested maliciously.

"Doing so will wake up the sleeping students. Professor McGonagall clearly disagreed.

"Only older students are likely to use the Disillusionment Charm. "I suppose they didn't enter the common room, they should still be somewhere in the castle, and we'll find those naughty students." ”

Smith was obviously not in favor of waking up the other students, however, in fact, a large number of the students had already been awakened by the noise.

"I'll find them. Filch gritted his teeth.

However, Filch and several other professors searched the castle several times, even the secret passages, but found nothing.

Well, well!

Actually, there are two substitutes.

A Ravenclaw girl and a Hufflepuff boy become substitutes, and the couple are actually dating in a hidden passageway, only to be caught by Filch who suddenly breaks in.

Fifty points were deducted each.

But upon questioning, it was clear that it was not the group of people Filch was looking for.

As for the Gryffindor students that Filch was looking for?

Almost the entire castle was turned upside down by the professors, but there was still no trace of the Gryffindor students.

No way, no one knows that there is a hidden room on the eighth floor of the castle, and its name is the Room of Requirement.
