Chapter 28: Joy and Sorrow

On the way back, Fred and George were elated. Although they only bought a few large dung bombs because of their lack of money, the joy of the pilgrimage still diluted the fatigue of the journey.

Carl is also very satisfied, the Jokowi toy store is indeed a good place, there are many amazing guys.

Not only did Carl buy a couple of big bombs at the behest of Fred and George, but he also bought a biting teacup to give to Lee Jordan.

He also bought himself a quill for automatic writing. He thought it was a good thing, and at least it would save a lot of trouble by copying Cedric's notebook in the future.

In the Secret Passage, Carl asks Fred and George to use a large dung bomb in his absence.

Naturally, the twins would not agree to this, which would greatly limit the value of the big dung bomb.

So they bargained all the way.

Facts have proved that happiness and sorrow are indeed a truth.

Out of an abundance of caution, Carl also carefully poked his head out to see if there was anyone. After confirming that there was no one, Fred and George were let out.

But even so, as they walked out of the secret passage, they heard a sharp cat meow.

"It's Filch and his damn cat!" George shouted.

Carl also knew that things were going in a bad direction right now, and he forced himself to calm down and said to Fred and George, "Give me what you bought." ”

Fred and George immediately understood what Carl meant, and quickly pulled out the big dung bombs they bought.

"Don't! He won't believe it! Karl immediately stopped the two of them, knowing that the situation was urgent, so he kept his words as short as possible.

Fortunately, Fred and George were experienced in this area and immediately understood what he meant, leaving two of them on their bodies.

"We're going to surprise Filch." Fred and George tapped Carl on the shoulder. They could already hear the hurried footsteps.

Carl didn't talk nonsense either, he pulled his legs and ran in the opposite direction, he turned out of the hallway, heard Fred and George laughing, and yelled:

"To Filch!"

Filch's characteristic hoarse roar was heard.

Come on! Brothers!

Carl knew that he was the last hope, and he didn't dare to delay running through one corridor after another, opening a door, where there was a secret passage leading to the third floor.

He planned to go from the third floor to the second floor, where there was another secret passage leading to the fifth floor, and he believed that such frequent movement would be enough to get rid of Filch.

Suddenly, a ghost sprang out of the secret passage and startled Carl.

Karl forced himself back and brushed shoulders with the ghost, and now that time was running out, he didn't dare to complain, and was about to continue digging in.

"Hah! It's a first-grade ghost, what are you doing? Peeves laughed happily when he saw Carl's hurried appearance, and he recognized the little genius who was blocking himself from scaring the new students, and followed Carl into chattering.

"Did you do something bad and were about to flee the scene? Or did you steal something? Tell Peeves-sama that Pievs-sama might be able to help you out! ”

Carl, too, remembers this particular apparition vividly.

This is a mischievous ghost who few students like, but unlike Filch, not many people really hate Peeves.

Because those pranks will always make everyone laugh, except for the person concerned.

"Shut up, Peeves." Carl nervously closed the door, he didn't have time to play with Peeves right now.

Peeves' eyes flashed with a mischievous glint as he suddenly shouted, "Filch, he's here!" He's here! That student is here! ”

"Damn it!"

Carl glanced at Peeves hatefully and ran straight to the third floor.

Peeves followed behind Carl, shouting all the way.

It was already noon and the students were eating in the cafeteria, which was the only good thing for Carl right now. At least Peeves' shouting won't make the other students point fingers at him.

"Where is he?"

As he passed by the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, Carl heard a roar coming from behind him, and his lungs, which had been gradually stopping like a fire, were immediately injected with a puff of cold air and began to burn again.

"Damn, why is it so fast?!" Carl couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

There must be some shortcuts around here!

The thought crossed Carl's mind, and he was immediately left behind by the exhaustion of running at high speed, and he could only run to the second floor now.

Not far away, Quirrell turned a corner and walked here with his head bowed.

Karl looked at the familiar figure, and his heart moved. He quickly sorted out the things in his pockets, and without making a sound, he bumped into the person in front of him.

"Keep it for me, thank you." He whispered something in Quirrell's ear, shoving the things into his pocket before the man could react.

In order to avoid Peeves' sight, he flicked the large dung bomb he had prepared with his other hand.

Sure enough, Peeves was far more interested in those big dung bombs than the two of them collided, he floated in the air, clapped his hands, stared at the big dung bombs still in the air, and shouted: "Burst! Burst! Burst! ”

Quirrell stared blankly at Carl, who helped Quirrell up, worried that the young teacher wouldn't understand, and pinched Quirrell's arm, repeating "3Q" in his mouth.

Filch's roar was heard not far away, and soon, he rushed to Karl in a few steps: "Aha! Assault on the teacher! ”

Carl patted his chest to smooth his breathing from running for a long time, and he glanced at Quirrell, seeing that he didn't speak, and then said slowly, "I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Filch." ”

"You're going to hit the teacher with a big dung bomb, Carl, and I'll hang you." Filch's eyes lit up with excitement, "My freshly oiled chains are finally of great use!" ”

Karl was unconcerned about Filch's threats, he had already asked Percy that there was no punishment as a means of punishing the students, and that Dumbledore had abolished them.

"I think it was an accident, isn't it, Quirrell?"

Quirrell opened his mouth, and the eyes of both the excited Filch and the calm Karl focused on him, and he looked left and right, as if looking for someone else to solve the siege for him.

But there were only three of them here, and finally he nodded and stammered, "No... No... Wrong. It was an accident. ”

As soon as Filch was about to speak, Karl interrupted, "Mr. Filch, if you don't want Peeves to take those things away and cause disaster, then you have to hurry. ”

Filch turned around and found Peeves in his arms.

"Peeves!"

Peeves giggled at a thunderous Filch, "You can't have these goodies to yourself, Filch. He looked at Carl, "Okay Carl, if you're willing to give me these big dung bombs, I can tell you a secret treasure." ”

Karl shrugged: "If it wasn't given to you, it would have been confiscated by Mr. Filch, wouldn't it?" ”

Peeves laughed, sang and walked away with the dung: "When you are done in confinement, go to Pieves-sama, believe Peeves-sama, it is a real treasure." ”
