Chapter 50: Filch: Such a Skynet, forgive you for your wings!
"Meow (Hello, I hope you have a great Christmas!) I heard movement at the door, and Lady Loris appeared.
"I had a great Christmas!" When Lovell saw Lady Loris, he also greeted her happily.
Mrs. Loris glanced at Lovell, who understood, turned to Filch and said, "I heard Lady Loris say before, uncle, you want to catch a student but can't?" ”
Filch was complacent because he was called an uncle - with the age difference between him and Lovell, Lovell would not call him grandpa too much, and the uncle had already called him very young, and after hearing the second half of the words, he nodded subconsciously and responded: "Yes, there is a cunning rabbit cub who has never been caught, there are too many things to distract me from before the holiday, and I plan to ...... after Christmas You mean? ”
Halfway through, he realizes if Lovell is hinting at himself? He was suddenly excited.
After a few swoops, Filch summed up the lessons learned and decided that the reason he couldn't catch the student was that he could spell the illusion. The Illusion Charm is a high-level spell, and there are very few young wizards who can master it during school, so Filch has no experience in dealing with it.
This is the dimensionality reduction strike. This spell causes the disguised person or object to become like a chameleon, with the same color and texture as the environment behind and around them, and after applying the illusion charm, as long as they stand still in place, even if they are only a few feet apart, they will not be able to detect the caster.
Of course, if you move, it's not easy to say, it will reveal the outline of a person when you move, destroying the camouflage around you, which is also the disadvantage of the illusion charm. The invisibility cloak also has the same problem, it is also easy to show when it moves. For perfect invisibility, only the Cloak of Invisibility in the Death Trihallows can do it.
However, despite all its shortcomings, the Illusion Charm is not something Filch can deal with. Other wizards can use the Transfiguration Charm to break the disguise of the Transfiguration Charm, but Filch is a Squib, and he can't do magic, so he is naturally helpless.
But it would have been different if Lovell had been willing to help. It's a wolf, and its sense of smell is much sharper than that of humans, and with its help, the probability of catching that student is much higher. As for Mrs. Loris, although she is a cat, due to her age, long-term illness, and her sense of smell has deteriorated severely, she is not of much help in hunting down students.
Filch used to be embarrassed to speak, but now that Lovell has taken the initiative to mention it, he is not welcome.
He said to Lovell in a cheerful tone, "So little Lovell, would you like to do me a favor?" ”
"Of course~" Lovell nodded, "We're friends!" ”
Mrs. Loris, who was on the side, rolled her eyes: Friend? If I hadn't held your grip, would you have helped?
But Mrs. Loris did misunderstand the wolf cub, and she really regarded Filch and Loris as her friends, but it was not that high-priority. If they asked, Lovell would lend a hand, and there was no need for a handle.
Seeing Lovell nod, Filch almost wanted to jump up and cheer, he was already thinking about how to punish the naughty bunny cub after he caught someone.
He looked at the torture instruments on the wall again: it would be nice to be able to use them!
"By the way, what mistake did he make, why are you so obsessed with catching him?" Lovell wondered what kind of mistake that man had made to make Filch want to catch him all the rest of Christmas. You know, there are too many students in Hogwarts who break the school rules, and if everyone makes Filch so "worried", then he won't do anything else, just catch students all day long.
Didn't you kick Lady Loris? Lovell speculated.
At the mention of this, Filch's face became ugly, he sharpened his back molars, made a few unpleasant noises, and said hatefully: "That guy provoked me!" He didn't sleep for days on end, wandering around the castle! ”
Lovell:......
Ah, is this really worth the fight?
It's worth it. Hogwarts has a curfew, and violating the curfew at night is a serious violation of school rules, compared to this sin, carrying contraband items, disheveled, etc. are minor problems.
Why is it a felony to sneak out of the common room at night? Because unlike ordinary schools, Hogwarts is a magical castle, and the various arrangements inside are dangerous. While it is unlikely that the school's seniors will leave behind some lethal traps, even an inadvertent prank trap can cause serious harm to the students in the dark of night – and Professor Dimmit has a say in this.
As a professor, he can't avoid the fate of being injured and admitted to the hospital, not to mention ordinary little wizards, people are fragile, although wizards are better, but they are not much stronger, and a little bit of back is the end of being seriously ill and hospitalized. It is for this reason that Hogwarts considers "curfew violations" to be a serious violation of school rules.
As the caretaker of the castle, Filch naturally memorized the school rules, and even many of the clauses in them were added by him, and he naturally had to catch and severely punish a student who repeatedly and seriously violated the school rules. Because in his eyes, this is already a provocation to himself and the school.
Maybe that student is laughing in some corner and looking at his funny ugliness!
The thought of this makes it difficult for Filch to let go. These days, he has even lowered his pickets against other students in order to catch the person who has repeatedly violated the curfew.
"How can you be sure it's him every time, maybe there are several students?" Lovell still thinks it's outrageous, could it be that someone is really provoking Filch?
"I smell the same smell every time, it's a special fragrance, and I can be sure it's the same person." Loris spoke to answer Lovell's confusion.
Lovell: っ゚Д゚)っ
There's a special smell on his body, and you can still let him run? It seems that Lady Loris's sense of smell has deteriorated severely.
Lovell: This belongs to standing and talking without backache, and sometimes it is not just the smell that catches people.
After receiving a strong reinforcement, Filch became proud: with Lovell's help, he was confident that he would lay a net that would make it impossible for the opponent to escape!
However, he also needs to do some preparation before he acts.
