"The Disillusionment Charm should last for a few hours, or maybe even shorter. Anyway, the effect will gradually wear off. Pay attention to the changes in your body." Albert reminded Fred when he used the Disillusionment Charm on him, "If the spell fails and you get caught, don't give me away."
"I have confidence in you. After all, you dare to use it on yourself." Fred didn't take it to heart. In his opinion, since Albert dared to use it on himself, it meant that the effect of the spell was guaranteed.
"Filch has been woken up. He has gotten up and is ready to come and catch people." George, who had been staring at the Marauder's Map, immediately spoke up to remind him when he noticed that Filch had started to act.
"Have you found any other professors?" Albert asked. He had a mission related to Filch, and if Filch was the only one there, Albert wouldn't mind completing the mission.
"Nothing has been found yet. Filch will probably search the third floor first. Let's go to the fourth floor and make some noise there. Then..."
After the three of them got together and chatted, they began to act according to the original plan.
On the corridor on the third floor, Filch, wearing a thick cloak, was in a very bad mood because he found that he had come to nothing again. Those students who got up in the middle of the night to go out for a walk were nowhere to be found, and even Peeves was gone.
Filch quickly regained his spirits as he heard hurried footsteps coming very close.
That guy is still around, he can't get away.
Filch gnashed his teeth and chased after him. When he turned the corner, he even saw the light disappearing around the corner.
"You can't get away," muttered Filch, chasing after him with an oil lamp.
However, Filch, who was chasing after him, found that he had lost his target.
That’s right, lost!
Filch could guarantee with confidence that there was absolutely no secret passage nearby. Where was that damn guy hiding
"What is this?" Filch took a few steps forward when he felt he stepped on something. He moved his foot and put the lamp over. His face immediately became gloomy.
I stepped on a dung bomb!
Filch raised his head angrily, raised the oil lamp and scanned the surroundings, looking for the bastard who had played a trick on him.
However, Filch had no idea that the person he was looking for was squatting in the corner of the corridor, holding his breath and trying not to laugh out loud.
There is no doubt that Albert's Disillusionment Charm successfully helped Fred hide from Filch's eyes.
Filch didn't stay there for long, because he heard the clinking of armor falling from upstairs again.
That guy ran upstairs
Is there a secret passage nearby that he doesn't know about
"impossible."
Filch believed that no one knew the secret passages of Hogwarts better than himself.
He angrily chased in the direction of the sound, still muttering, "You can't escape, I will definitely hang you up and whip you severely."
After Filch's footsteps faded away, Fred opened his mouth and gasped for breath. He felt like he was about to suffocate.
Filch ran through the secret passage as fast as he could and arrived at the armor corridor on the fourth floor. He only found a helmet dropped on the ground.
The sound just now was made by it falling.
As Filch walked over, he smelled a familiar stench again.
That's right, it was the smell of a dung bomb. A dung bomb landed on his boots. As soon as Filch reacted, he chased straight ahead.
He already knew that he was being fooled.
Is it those annoying students, or is it Peeves
"Peeves, get out here! I know it's you who's behind this! Get out here!" Filch's face flushed red, and he looked like a volcano about to erupt. Fred, who was hiding nearby, looked excitedly in the direction where Filch disappeared. He never thought that he could actually put the blame on Peeves.
This is a good thing.
Anyway, neither side is good, and it would be best if they could fight each other.
In another corridor, Albert closed his pocket watch, estimated the time, and used magic to make a crackling sound. When he was about to leave the crime scene, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps approaching this side.
"Oops."
Albert quickly held his breath and hid in the corner.
A few seconds later, a pale light appeared in Albert's field of vision, and Professor Badbrod, wearing a purple cloak, walked towards him. He raised his wand, looked around, and his sight stayed for a moment on the place where Albert was hiding.
"It's over." Albert felt his heartbeat quicken. He was not sure whether his Disillusionment Spell could fool Professor Broad.
Filch also came over here.
"Professor, did you hear any noise?" Filch said angrily. "There are students strolling around at night. I think there are more than one of them."
Albert smelled a foul odor and swore it was definitely the work of the twins, who threw dung bombs at Filch.
"Are there any students taking a night stroll?" Professor Broad raised his eyebrows, glanced at Albert's position, and said, "I didn't see any. I just heard the noise and came over to check. What's wrong with your boots?"
"It was a dung bomb. It was probably made by Peeves. He's invisible," Filch explained angrily.
"Peeves?" Professor Brod repeated significantly, and with a flick of his wand he swept away the stain on Filch's boots.
"Thank you," said Filch gratefully.
"You're welcome. You go look over there, and I'll go over there to take a look. If it was a student who made the noise, he must not have gone far." Professor Broad pointed in another direction.
"Okay, we must catch them tonight." Filch picked up Yousou and turned to chase around the corner. Professor Broad also turned and left.
Albert vaguely heard Brod's voice: "This won't happen again."
Albert didn't think it was an illusion. Professor Broad had indeed discovered him. However, Albert was surprised that the professor let him go.
After the two left, Albert left cautiously and went to the agreed place to meet the twin brothers.
By the way, why did Professor Broad suddenly appear
Could it be that he was really the one who entered the Room of Requirement
Albert didn't think any more about it. After shaking off other thoughts from his mind, he carefully headed towards the meeting point.
"Are you okay?" George asked worriedly. "I just noticed that Professor Broad also showed up. Didn't he see through your Disillusionment Spell?"
"No, he has seen through it. But he let me go." Albert said helplessly, "Let Fred come back quickly, let's go to the eighth floor."
"What are you doing on the eighth floor?" George asked puzzledly.
"Let's go to the Room of Requirement. We should be able to get in there. If possible, hide there for a while and wait for Filch to go back to rest. Then we'll go to the library." Albert wanted to confirm whether the person who was in the Room of Requirement just now was Professor Broad.
"Okay." George also knew that this was the end of the night and it would not be good to make too much trouble.
"Where did you and Fred agree to meet?"
"He's coming," said George.
"Albert, are you okay?" Not long after, Fred, who had gone to lead the people away, hurried over and asked worriedly.
"It's okay, let's leave here first." Albert interrupted, "Filch is still looking for us. Of course, there is also Professor Broad. The Disillusionment Charm cannot be hidden from his eyes."
