Chapter 53: Confinement
At Louis's breakfast, he received a note that read:
'Your confinement begins at eleven o'clock tonight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Look for Mr. Filch in the foyer - Professor McGonagall'
If it weren't for the note, Louis would have almost forgotten that he still needed to be confined. But why do they have to be confined at night? Don't they know that children should go to bed early?
But no matter how reluctant Louis is, he can't help it, he still has to go. Although Louis asked Linda if she could help him prepare some supper, our maid Lin felt that eating at night was not good for her health, so Louis could only prepare to eat more at night to avoid being hungry in the middle of the night.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Louis said goodbye to Linda, who was reading a book in the common room.
If you're worried, just say it, why pretend to be revising?" Louis thought to himself.
When Louis reached the foyer, he found Filch already waiting, with Harry and the three of them and Malfoy standing next to him. Malfoy gave him an ugly smile when he saw him coming, and Louis almost forgot that Malfoy was going to be locked up as well.
"Follow me. Filch said, lighting an oil lamp and leading them out of the foyer.
Filch squinted at them and said, "I'm sorry to abolish the previous punishment, they will tie you up in chains and hang you from the ceiling for days." I still have old chains in my office, and I often oil them in case I need them. ”
Filch's hoarse voice and flickering lights were terrifying.
The moonlight was bright, but the clouds kept obscuring the moon, plunging them into darkness.
Louis heard a shout from ahead, "Filch, is that you? Hurry up, it's time for me to go." ”
It was Hagrid's voice!Louis saw Harry clearly, and their faces instantly became much better. Hermione, in particular, looked like she was shivering all the time.
But Filch added, "You probably thought you'd have a good time with that big stupid guy? Come to think of it, you're going to the Forbidden Forest! ”
Hearing this, Neville couldn't help but snort, and even Malfoy stopped.
"The Forbidden Forest?" Malfoy said, his voice trembling, "we can't go in the middle of the night... I mean.. We can't go in... There's everything in there, and I've heard there's werewolves in it..."
"You're only to blame, aren't you?" Filch's voice sounded a little cheerful, "You should have thought before you got into trouble, there were werewolves in the Forbidden Forest, didn't you?"
Hagrid strode in from the darkness not far away, his Hound Fangs following closely behind him. He carried the great bow that Louis had given him, and a full quiver on his shoulder.
Looks like she'll have to give him some arrows, Louis thought as he looked at the homemade wooden arrow Hagrid's back.
"It's almost time, I've been waiting for half an hour. Hagrid said, "How are you feeling? Harry, Hermione, Louis?"
"You shouldn't be so polite to them, Hagrid. "They're here to be punished, not for a vacation." ”
"So you're late?" said Hagrid, frowning, "all the time teaching them? Your mission is accomplished, and the next thing is left to me. ”
"I'll clean up the wreckage for them tomorrow morning!" Filch said hatefully.
With that, he turned and walked in the direction of the castle, and disappeared into the darkness with the oil lamp.
