Chapter 566: The Fun of Night Tours
"You must have thought of this a long time ago to keep us from telling Dumbledore about it."
Fred said as he excitedly patted Cedric on the shoulder, "Also a prefect, you're much smarter than Percy...... But you'll be able to make it clearer next time. ”
Am I thinking so?
Cedric felt as if they had misunderstood something, and he really thought that he should find a little more evidence before headmaster Dumbledore.
After all, one of the other party is a referee and the other is a principal, so if they just run to say that they cheat, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
But looking at the excited looks on the faces of the two, he still didn't explain in the end.
And Cedric also thinks that what they say makes sense, and also gets the inside scoop on the third project, and Kyle, who can be the first to enter the maze, must have an advantage over Krum.
So, the three of them glanced at each other, and then they talked about the news they had just heard.
"The plants provided by Professor Sprout are devil's nets, fanged geraniums, and snake vines, all hidden inside hedges, so you must be careful when you are in the maze."
"There are a lot of types of magical beasts, but this shouldn't bother you."
"The most dangerous animal is the eight-eyed giant spider, and it is on the wrong route, you must run when you see it, there is no need to waste time......"
The three of you and I said it one by one, and the whole time, no one asked Kyle's opinion.
There were a few times when Kyle was about to say something, but he was interrupted.
He originally wanted to say that even if Krum got this news, there would be no threat to him, after all, these things would be in the labyrinth, and he could find out if he asked a random magical beast.
But the trio didn't give him a chance to speak at all......
It wasn't until half past ten that Fred and George left the Hufflepuff common room.
The two of them walked on the empty staircase so blatantly without any cover.
"I think Bagman will definitely go to Karkaroff ......" Fred said as he walked, "I think we have to watch him and prevent him from revealing any new information to Karkaroff." ”
"yes, that's what I thought, too." George nodded, "I can't compare to cheating...... It's no wonder that adults don't think much of Durmstrang, I thought it was because they taught dark arts. ”
"But now they don't want to get their way." Fred shook a piece of parchment in his hand, "We'll watch Bagman, he doesn't want to hide the news from everyone else to Karkaroff." ”
After that, the two of them quickened their pace, and in a short time they reached the eighth floor, and they only had to follow the corridor all the way to the Gryffindor common room.
"But if you want me to say that Karkaroff also did a good thing." George suddenly said, "It's amazing that the castle is quiet all of a sudden without the cat." ”
"And Filch." Fred also said with a smile.
"That's right."
George said, "It's just that without them, the night tour is not very exciting, it's a little boring." ”
The two of them continued to walk, but just as they were about to approach the portrait of the fat lady, a dim lamp suddenly appeared around the corner of the hallway.
Fortunately, the two reacted quickly enough, hurriedly retreated, and used the illusion spell on themselves as soon as possible.
Soon, they saw Filch coming from another hallway.
"Who's there, I hear you talking, come out!" He said in a gruff voice, so frightened that Fred and George didn't dare to breathe.
The corridor wasn't very spacious, and Filch only had to get a little closer to see that there were two people in front of the wall.
One step, two steps...... Filch is getting closer.
At this moment, a sudden jingling sound came from downstairs, which attracted his attention.
Filch hurriedly picked up the oil lamp and chased after him.
……
"That's how it was, the oil lamp almost hit my nose."
The next morning, Fred vividly described what had happened the previous night.
"Who told you to save trouble and not use the Illusion Charm."
Kyle took a piece of roasted corn, "Filch hasn't been fired, and the routine daily rounds are definitely indispensable." ”
"Who would have thought." George shrugged, "Everyone knows now that Filch only comes out once at curfew, and it's late when we come out, doesn't it?" ”
"Maybe he's picking himself up again." Connor said.
"If that's the case, it's not bad."
Fred poked at the stew on his plate, "We kind of miss Filch." ”
"Without such an opponent, we wouldn't even be interested in night tours."
Is the fun of a night tour a battle of wits with Filch? That's probably something that only Fred and George can say.
"Oh, wait, Bagman is here......" George said suddenly, glancing at the map of the living spots.
Then the two quickly finished eating the food on their plates, and then got up and rushed out of the auditorium.
Cedric wanted to go with him, but he had just run to the door of the auditorium and came back.
"They used the Illusion Charm." Cedric spread his hands and said, "I can't find where anyone is." ”
……
In the time since, something like this has happened many times.
Bagman seems to have become a Weasley brothers trap, as long as it's not school time, Fred and George will run over as soon as he appears, sometimes with Cedric.
On the day the third project started, it was also the end of the Hogwarts exams, and they were supposed to have taken the time to revise, but now they spent a lot of energy staring at Bagman and Karkaroff.
Even though Kyle had said so many times that he didn't need to do it, they didn't listen.
"You don't have to worry about that, Kyle."
After returning from the Quidditch pitch again, Cedric said: "Year 6 was a very easy class, we had even less homework than we did in Year 3, so we had plenty of time. ”
"yes." Fred nodded beside him, "And there is no need to worry about the exam or anything, we just need to have it. L.'s grades were enough, and even if the final exam of the sixth grade was a little worse, Mom wouldn't say anything. ”
"Are you sure?" Kyle raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm...... I think it should be. Fred looked hesitant, but finally waved his hand.
"You don't have to worry about that, just prepare the third project with peace of mind."
"We're doing Hogwarts." George took out an ear-shaped object and said, "If you can catch evidence of Bagman and Karkaroff's cheating...... Mom will surely understand. ”
"Then what if you can't catch it, you're going to go back with a bad report card?"
The two suddenly fell silent.
"If that's the case......" After a moment, Fred said quietly, "Kyle, how about you let us borrow your attic for two months." ”
