Chapter 154: Conspiracy and Preparation
At this point, the smiles on Fred and George's faces disappeared all at once.
Fred covered his face and said, "We are still friends without mentioning this." ”
"Wood seems to have lent his brain to the trolls." George shook his head and said quietly, "He actually thinks that our little brother Ron also has a Quidditch talent like Charlie, and wants to recruit him into the team." ”
"Merlin, let Ron be a Seeker......" Fred seemed to think of something terrible, and shuddered, "If that's the case, we might as well just surrender, so at least we don't have to make a fool of ourselves in front of everyone." ”
"Thankfully, Professor McGonagall didn't agree."
"Harry Potter is more reliable than him."
……
Kyle gave them a thoughtful look...... These two people don't really have any talent for prophecy.
"Don't talk about that." Fred stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth and said vaguely, "We plan to go on an expedition to the fourth floor, do you want to join?" ”
Cedric frowned, "You can't be talking about the room at the corner of the corridor on the fourth floor, right?" ”
Fred blinked.
"Is there anything else on the fourth floor that is worth exploring?"
"But......" Cedric hesitated, "didn't Headmaster Dumbledore say we weren't allowed to go there?" ”
"Don't be stupid." George shook his finger as if you didn't know anything.
"Only forbidden places are more worth exploring, just as no one will wander to the Transfiguration classroom at night."
"It's possible in a Potions classroom."
"We went to ...... when we were in first grade"
"Threw two big dung eggs there......"
"It's a pity that the smell was gone the next day."
Kyle's eyes lit up, and he said thoughtfully, "It's a good idea to go to the Potions classroom at night." ”
"No, Kyle." Fred shook his head and said, "We've confirmed it, and it doesn't make any sense there. ”
"It's better to be on the fourth floor." George smiled and said, "Headmaster Dumbledore is simply great, he gave us such a great surprise on the first day of school. ”
"Have you figured it out, do you want to come with us?" Fred asked again.
"But ......"
Cedric was still a little hesitant, "It's dangerous there, so you don't ...... it"
"You don't know Dumbledore too well."
Fred said with a serious face: "If it's really dangerous, he will never let us know." ”
"This ......"
Seeing that Cedric became hesitant, Fred and George looked at each other and continued:
"Actually, we were there before the first day of school."
Fred lowered his voice and said, "There's only one door there, not even a portrait. ”
"I think that's a test for us." George said with great bewilderment: "As long as you pass the test, you can add a hundred points to your academy." ”
"It may also be better to get the special contribution award to the school!"
Cedric was a little moved, and he felt that what the Weasley brothers said made sense.
The Forbidden Forest was guarded by Hagrid, who wouldn't let the young wizards in, but the equally dangerous fourth floor was nothing...... Something really isn't right.
"Okay...... I'm joining! Cedric thought for a moment, and added, "But I'm here to watch you, lest you get into any big trouble." ”
"I see," said Fred solemnly...... "then trouble Mr. Diggory." ”
Then they looked back at Kyle.
"Don't look at me...... Kyle blinked, didn't agree, didn't refuse, but asked directly, "When are you going to go." ”
"You can do it anytime, but before you can do that, there are two issues that need to be addressed."
Fred said, "First of all, we tried it before, and the lockpicking spell wouldn't open the door...... Kyle, I remember you had a master key there, right? ”
"Hmm." Kyle nodded.
The Master Key had been sent with the Cloak of Invisibility, but he hadn't used it much.
"Then it should be fine."
George continued: "Then we just need to deal with Filch again, he's been wandering around the fourth floor these nights and has to find a way to get him out of the way. ”
"How about diverting his attention."
Cedric proposed, "Let's say throw a few big dung eggs somewhere else before you go to the fourth floor. ”
"That's what we thought too...... But no. ”
Fred shook his head and said, "This will only allow us to enter the room on the fourth floor, but not to get out." ”
"If Filch had been guarding the door, and there was no other exit or secret passage in that room, we would have been blocked inside."
"Filch can't stay there all night." Cedric was somewhat unimpressed.
"He really will." Fred and George said in unison.
In the past few nights, they have been observing Filch with a live map, and no matter what time they look, the other party's location is on the fourth floor.
"How about getting someone else to help you?" Cedric continued: "Agree on a time, an hour or two, and use the big poop eggs to lure Filch away again. ”
"Are you sure...... Will they have woken up by then? Fred said quietly.
Cedric was stunned, he really wasn't sure.
And if you think about it, even if that person can wake up and do what was agreed, it's just as useless if they don't have a good grasp of the time, or if they are trapped by something and can't get out in time.
"Let's go to Jokowi."
At this point, Kyle suddenly said, "There should be something there that can lure Filch away at any time." ”
"Haha, you want to go with us."
After eating, Fred and George made their way to Hogsmeade through the secret passages.
When they returned, they had a book in their hands that everyone was familiar with.
A Guide to Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense?
Cedric wondered, "What are you buying it for?" ”
"This is no ordinary book." Fred led them outside the castle, then took out a quill and said mysteriously, "Look at it." ”
With a click, the quill snapped off by him.
At the same time, the book began to shake violently, and the pages inside scattered in all directions, and a series of crackling explosions were heard.
"Jokowi's latest prank product."
Fred said with a smile: "It is specially designed for young wizards who don't want to take classes, and it can be said that it coincides with our quick-acting class skipping candy." ”
"With it, we can cause trouble for Filch at any time." George pulled out two more identical books from his pocket.
"What about controllable distances?" Kyle asked.
"It's not that far, but it's enough to lure Filch to another level."
