Late at night, there were still lights on in the windows of Gryffindor Tower. Several people in the dormitory had not yet gone to bed and were playing wizard cards together.
As the number of card types increases, the gameplay of Wizard Cards becomes more diverse, giving players more room to play freely.
"It's almost time." Albert drank the tea in the cup, glanced at the pocket watch beside him, and said to the people around him.
"Are you really going?" Lee Jordan was still a little hesitant. Although he knew Fred and George's abilities, he still didn't have much confidence.
"You're not going?" Fred asked.
"Go, why not?" Lee Jordan muttered. He knew that Albert and his friends had never been caught by Filch when they went out for a stroll at night.
"Come on, come on, I'll give you confidence." George said with a smile.
"What confidence?" Li Jordan approached suspiciously, only to see George take out an old parchment, shake it and say, "This is one of our secret weapons."
"Okay, stop messing around and get ready to go." Albert picked up the wand and tapped George's head. A layer of colorless and transparent film immediately covered his whole body. In full view of everyone, George Weasley disappeared.
“That’s our second secret weapon,” Fred explained with a smile.
"What about the third secret weapon?" Li Qiaodan asked curiously.
"Not telling you," Fred and George said in unison.
"So, there is a third secret weapon?"
Albert also cast the Disillusionment Charm on himself. After his body also disappeared, he said to the others, "The Disillusionment Charm can probably last for a few hours. I think that should be enough time."
"Are you excited and thrilled?" Fred nudged Lee Jordan with his elbow.
"I'm George, and here's Lee Jordan."
"It's a bit exciting indeed. By the way, where are we going?" Li Jordan asked. He was indeed a bit excited. After all, this was his first night tour.
Well, that’s not right. I went out with Albert only once last time.
However, that time was to find Fred and George, two scumbags.
"I'm going to the library. You can ask Fred and George to take you around. We'll meet in the room on the eighth floor. The room inside is the lounge." Albert said.
"What's that room on the eighth floor?" Li Jordan felt that these three guys had not told him a lot of things.
"You'll know soon," said Albert.
"Don't you need help?" George asked, "finding that book about the brain or something?"
"No, I plan to use the Flying Spell directly." Albert explained. He just thought that he didn't know how to use the Flying Spell before, but now he knows it, so finding the book is naturally not difficult.
In the novel, Hermione was able to use the Sling Charm to get books related to Horcruxes, which means that the books in the library can actually be summoned using the Sling Charm. Although they are locked with chains, it is easy to pry open the chains that lock the book as long as you know where the book is.
"Don't you know how to cast the Flying Spell?" Fred looked at Albert in confusion. He still remembered that a month ago, Albert was still making a fuss about the fact that he didn't know how to cast the Flying Spell!
"You can learn it if you don't know it!" Albert said with a half-smile, "This spell is actually quite good and quite practical."
"Practical?" Fred couldn't help muttering. He turned off the oil lamp in the dormitory and followed Albert out of the dormitory.
As the four of them walked through the common room and emerged from the entrance, George, who was left behind, suddenly said, "Filch is patrolling the fifth floor."
"How do you know?" Li Qiaodan asked suspiciously.
"Who's there?" asked the Fat Lady, looking at the empty corridor.
"Let's get out of here first." Albert muttered, and he walked forward to the secret passage leading to other floors.
"We'll help you lure Filch away." Fred's eyes lit up. "I brought dung bombs."
"I have super glue here." George was also eager to try.
"You are courting death," Lee Jordan muttered.
"Inflatable screaming inflatable skeleton." Albert handed something to Li Jordan and reminded them, "Don't go too far."
"We know our limits," George said.
"We won't let Filch disturb you from looking for books." Fred's tone was equally excited. During the start of the school term, Filch had caused them a lot of trouble because of things that happened last semester.
"I feel like the castle will be very lively tonight." Lee Jordan muttered. He still didn't refuse Albert's kindness and stuffed the inflatable screaming skeleton into his pocket.
The few of them separated at the secret passage on the sixth floor. Albert went to the library alone, while the Weasley brothers took Lee Jordan to the fourth floor to play hide-and-seek with Filch.
…
At this moment, Filch, who was patrolling the corridor on the fifth floor, did not know that he had been targeted.
Filch had been in a very good mood recently, especially after he caught that Gryffindor student wandering around the castle in the middle of the night. The look of fear on his face when he was caught was so wonderful, and putting him in detention had made his good mood continue until now.
However, since that incident, students who dared to sneak out at night have almost disappeared.
“I don’t know when we’ll be able to catch another one.”
Just as Filch was thinking this, he suddenly heard the sound of something falling to the ground downstairs. He immediately became alert and hurried towards the direction where the sound came from.
In fact, George and his companions, who had just passed through the secret passage to the fourth floor, "accidentally" knocked a helmet of armor to the ground, which caused the noise just now, in order to ensure that Filch would be attracted.
This trick is actually very effective and has always been effective.
As soon as Filch heard the noise, he hurried to the fourth floor. Albert was standing in the corridor outside the library, watching Filch's hurried back, then he retracted his gaze, reached out, pushed open the wooden door of the library and walked in.
Filch hurried to the armor corridor with an oil lamp in hand. His eyes fell on the armor on the ground, then he raised his head and looked around. He bent down to pick up the helmet and whispered, "Hiding, huh? I'll catch you, Peeves!"
The next second, Filch was stunned because he found that the helmet was stuck to the ground somehow. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pick it up.
"Is it Peeves, or..." Filch looked around with the oil lamp, and suddenly he heard the sound of someone running.
"Those little bastards." Filch cursed under his breath, threw down his helmet, stood up and chased in the direction of the footsteps. No matter how stupid he was, he guessed that someone was deliberately playing a trick on him.
However, Filch was not angry, but ecstatic. He was not afraid of students wandering around the castle at night, but he was afraid that no one would dare to come out at night.
"I'll catch you."
Filch's eyes flashed dangerously in the darkness, and he couldn't wait to see the terrified expressions on the faces of those students when he was caught.
However, Filch didn't know that the footsteps just now were actually made by Fred deliberately to attract Filch's attention.
The cat and mouse game has officially begun.
Fighting wits and courage with Filch was undoubtedly one of Fred and George's great pleasures at Hogwarts. They had the Marauder's Map in their hands and the Disillusionment Charm on their bodies. With these two safeguards, would they get up in the middle of the night and wander around and get caught by Filch
Does not exist.
"This is really exciting. How do you think Filch will catch up with us? Will he take a shortcut?" Lee Jordan followed closely behind Fred and whispered to him.
"Of course we should take a shortcut. He will probably rush to the front through the secret passage to block us. Let's take the stairs and lead him further away." Fred said with a smile while throwing dung bombs into the corridor. "Don't worry, Filch can't stop us."
Fifth floor, inside the library.
Albert had already crossed the rope in front of the restricted book area and was walking in the restricted book area. He raised his wand and whispered, "The Advanced Brain Occlumency Manual is flying over."
After a moment, there was a creaking sound, and one of the large bookcases was actually pulled to one side by a chain.
Albert, who was about to walk over, was stunned and stunned, his mouth wide open.
The next moment, he realized that something was wrong.
"Stop the curse immediately!"
He had already seen the "Advanced Guide to Brain Occlumency" that was summoned by the flying curse. However, because the bookshelf was completely tilted, it also brought down the bookshelf in front of it, like a bongo.
With a bang, Albert felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and the loud noise spread throughout the castle.
Albert never imagined that because of the summoning of the flying spell, the book would actually pull the iron lock and knock over the bookshelf
The flying curse is so poisonous!
"Restore it to its original state!" Albert waved his wand and tried to restore the bookshelf and the books to their original state. In fact, his magic worked, and the overturned books and bookshelves began to return to their original state.
But Albert didn't dare to stay in the library. He ran away immediately, forgetting even the idea of looking for the "Advanced Brain Occlumency Guide".
