Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 79: Attack Filch

The two returned to the castle the same way. As soon as they returned to the third floor, George and Fred prepared to take a shortcut back to the Gryffindor common room.

Before they got out of the secret passage, the two had already determined their next route, and they had repeatedly confirmed that the number one "enemy" of the overnight trip was still resting in their room.

"Ah, ah..."

Seeing that George wanted to sneeze, Fred quickly reached out and covered George's mouth to avoid making too much noise.

"It's fine, but my nose is a little itchy." George reached out and rubbed his nose, covering his yawn again. He began to miss his soft bed

"Maybe it's a cold!" Fred looked at his twin brother sympathetically, "Go back!"

The two walked up the stairs to the fifth floor, preparing to go directly to the eighth floor through a secret passage here.

"Meow."

An unfamiliar cat meows.

Fred's movements froze in place. He raised his wand and looked forward. A dark figure came out of the corner. The two of them looked at him and saw that it was Mrs. Norris of Filch.

The cat turned and ran away after seeing the two.

After Fred and George looked at each other, they suddenly laughed happily. They both knew what the cat was doing, and Filch would soon be searching for their whereabouts all over the castle.

However, Fred and George didn't care because they had already returned to the lounge by then.

Fred and George were in a very happy mood at the thought of Filch, who had a cold, getting up in the middle of the night and fussing about.

"Go, I want to go back to bed early." George yawned frequently.

The two came to the eighth floor through the secret passage on the fifth floor, passed through the dark and silent Gryffindor promenade, and came to the portrait of the Fat Lady.

However, the painting in front of the two was empty, making their originally happy mood suddenly slump.

The fat lady went out late at night.

At this moment, both Fred and George realized that they were locked out of the Gryffindor lounge.

"What should I do?" Fred's face was not very good-looking, they didn't know when the fat lady would come back, and Filch had already woken up, and he and his cat were on their way to the fifth floor.

The guy took a shortcut through the secret passage, faster than the two expected.

"Albert is really a crow's mouth." George said helplessly, "I don't want to spend the night here at all, I will definitely catch a cold, or should I find a place to rest first?"

Looking for a place to rest?

It's definitely more appropriate than risking a possible collision with Filch to continue the night tour, find a place to stay, and wait for the fat lady to come back.

Where is the right place to stay?

The answer is the secret passage.

There are several secret passages on the eighth floor, but Fred is not sure which ones Filch knows. Through the Marauder's map, both of them saw that Filch had reached the fifth floor through the secret passage and began to search. Students on a night tour.

"Let Filch find it!" George pouted.

"Be careful not to capsize," Fred reminded.

He didn't want to be caught by Filch at all, and if he got caught, it wouldn't end well.

Not only have to deal with Filch's nasty face, but also with Professor McGonagall, Percy, and after being deducted a lot of points, Gryffindor students won't give them a good look .

Now, I can only hope that Filch will give up the search sooner, and Mrs. Fatty will come back sooner.

On the fifth floor, in the portrait corridor, Filch is patrolling with an oil lamp. He is in a terrible mood right now. He accidentally caught a cold today, and his head is still a little dizzy.

No, no, still no.

Filch swept through the abandoned classroom with an oil lamp and pricked up his ears to carefully discern the sounds around him. His pet, Mrs. Norris, was also helping to search for the target, but he still didn't catch the night-walking student, and didn't even hear anything else?

"Run away?" Filch murmured, "No, that's impossible!"

It didn't take a few minutes from Mrs. Norris's alarm to the time he got here, those pesky brats couldn't have run so fast.

"They can't go far, I'll catch them!" Filch admitted that no one knew all the secret passages of Hogwarts Castle better than him, and no one could escape from his hands.

However, Filch did not know that his actions completely fell into the eyes of the twins. They stared at the dot on the Marauder's map, which symbolized Filch, as it moved through the secret passages through the castle floors, as Lady Norris and Filch separated, searching for their whereabouts.

"Felch is really familiar with the secret passages of the castle, and it's hard not to be caught by students who usually travel at night." George sighed.

"Now is not the time to sigh with emotion. We can't stay here. Filch may know about this secret passage. We must find a place to hide that Filch doesn't know about." Fred immediately realized to their bad situation.

"Why don't you go and see if the fat lady is back." George suggested that if he could enter the lounge, he wouldn't need to worry about Filch's problem.

"Go and see." Fred agreed.

They left the secret passage again and came to the portrait of the Fat Lady at the end of Gryffindor Promenade. The result was disappointing, and the Fat Lady still hadn't returned.

"We have to go. If Filch searches the eighth floor, we will definitely not be able to escape. Go to the passage of the knight's armor on the seventh floor~IndoMTL.com~ I think Filch must not know that passage, Wherever we hide, Filch can't find us."

However, Mrs. Norris is on patrol on the seventh floor, and if you're not careful, you might get caught.

The two planned to go to other floors through the secret path carved by the Gryphon on the eighth floor, but found that Filch was actually walking along this secret path toward the eighth floor.

"Run!" Fred shouted in a low voice, and hurriedly stepped up to run. When the two walked down the stairs to the seventh floor, Filch had already walked out of the Griffin sculpture, and immediately ran away. Hear the sound of running.

"I found you, don't try to slip away!" Filch muttered. He took the oil lamp and strode toward the seventh floor. Mrs. Norris immediately ran over to meet up, and led the way ahead, taking him there. Find the guy who wanders the castle at night.

"No, Filch is coming this way!" Fred didn't try to open the knight's armor statue, because Filch was also moving very fast.

If the secret passage is not closed in time, it is likely to be discovered by Filch.

This is definitely not a scene the twins want to see, and they have a Marauder's map in their hands, so they can circle around the castle with Filch.

Caught?

Can I see the opponent's movements clearly through the Marauder's map, and can I still be arrested?

does not exist.

At this time, George sneezed suddenly, and the sound rang in the corridor, which immediately caught Filch's attention.

"Come on, Filch is coming this way." Fred looked at George speechlessly and urged.

"What now?" George quickly followed.

"What else can we do?" Fred shrugged helplessly, "He chased, we ran."

A game of cat and mouse has officially begun.
