Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 200: Who is doing something
Boom!
The sound of the bookshelves toppling was enough to wake up the entire castle.
At this moment, the three of Fred, who were playing a game of mouse and cat with Filch on the third floor of the castle, were also startled by the loud noise.
Originally, Filch, who was still chasing a few people, also stopped and looked at the direction of the sound in astonishment.
"The sound seems to be coming from the direction of the fifth floor." Filch muttered to himself, he immediately turned and rushed towards the library.
"What's the matter with that noise just now?" George was the first to hold back his curiosity.
"I don't know, maybe it was made by Albert. Go back to the lounge first." Fred said immediately: "Go back quickly before the sound just now leads the other professors."
"Quick!" George shouted, and the three started running down the hallway at full speed, and they had to get back to the common room before the professors showed up. Because Albert had told them that the professors at Hogwarts had the ability to see through the Disillusionment Charm on them.
Running through corridor after corridor, the three of them went to the seventh floor through the secret passage next to the corridor. Halfway through, Lee Jordan said again: "Are we going to the meeting point? What about Albert?"
"That guy must have run before us."
"Go directly to the common room."
Actually, what they did was quite correct. Not long after the sound was heard, several professors in the castle were awakened by the sound and came to check the situation.
In the hallway, the portraits in the aisle run back and forth, trying to figure out what's going on.
By the time Filch checked the fifth floor, Albert had already fled the crime scene and was moving faster than them.
Before leaving, Albert did not forget to close the entrance to the library.
It is for this reason that Filch couldn't find the crime scene for a while. He only knew where the sound was coming from, but when he checked in the past, he found nothing.
The culprit behind all of this is rushing to the Gryffindor common room.
Albert tried not to make a sound, but the people in the portrait had already been woken up by the sound just now. After they heard the light footsteps, they all turned their faces curiously and looked at the corridor where there was nothing. .
After going upstairs, Albert walked halfway down the corridor, then lifted a tapestry from the wall and walked up a narrower staircase, a short cut that led to the eighth floor.
As for Fred and the others, they have a Marauder's map, so they shouldn't be caught, but Albert isn't worried about their safety at all.
When he came near the entrance of the common room, he did not dispel the magic on his body, and waited for Fred to wait here.
A few minutes later, several people arrived in a hurry, looked at Albert who was still waiting outside, and asked, "Why don't you enter the lounge?"
"The fat lady won't open the door for us when we're invisible." Albert reminded: "Come with me and go to the room on request to rest first. Just in case, we still don't want to be seen."
The three of Fred's faces were confused, but they still followed Albert to the Room of Requirement. In this case, they were willing to trust Albert's judgment. After all, Albert's brain was much better than theirs. There must be a reason for him to do so.
On the other side, Filch was touring the library, because the sound just now was a bit of a sound of collapsing into the library's shelves. However, when Filch entered the library, he did not find any signs of collapse of the bookshelves.
Yes, no, even in the forbidden area, there are still no signs of the bookshelves collapsing, as if the sound had never been heard before.
At this moment, Filch knew he was being tricked, yes, he was being tricked, just like the helmet stuck to the floor on the fourth floor, and the **** big **** thrown in the hallway , including the sound here, all of them are someone playing with themselves.
Yes, those **** he was chasing just now, Filch vaguely guessed who they were.
The Gryffindor twins, although there is no real evidence, but Filch has a hunch that the two of them did it.
"Felch? What happened?"
Snape walked into the library with a gloomy face, wearing a long grey pajama shirt.
"I just heard a noise, came to check the situation, I think it is likely that some students made it on purpose." Filch turned to look at Snape, and whispered, "I was just in After them, there are several students wandering the castle in the middle of the night, Professor."
"Very good, students, we'll catch them." Snape looked around the library, then stepped into the forbidden area to take a look, and found no signs of the bookshelves collapsing.
"What's the matter?" Professor McGonagall walked in quickly. She was wearing a plaid dressing gown and a hair net. She glanced at the library with a serious look. She obviously thought that the voice just now was a little bit different. Like the sound of a bookshelf collapsing.
"There was someone in the library just now, in the restricted area." Filch said immediately, "I was just looking for a few students who were wandering around the school in the middle of the night. They should be in a group, and they are very likely. A student of... Gryffindor."
"Do you have any evidence?" Professor McGonagall asked, frowning.
"What's going on here." Smith appeared outside the door wearing a bronze pajama. "Is this a pajama party?"
"Someone made a loud noise professor here. We suspect it was made by students. There are several students wandering around the school tonight." Filch said in a low voice, he rarely appeared in front of professors speak loudly.
"Felch, you just said it was probably done by a Gryffindor student?" Professor McGonagall demanded. "Is there any evidence?"
"You can ask the gatekeeper at the entrance to Gryffindor," Snape said suddenly. He'd love to see Hogwarts students get unlucky and lose points.
"Well, that's a good idea." Filch nodded.
Professor McGonagall frowned slightly, but ultimately made no objection.
Several professors headed towards the eighth floor and found Gryffindor's gatekeeper, Mrs. Fatty, at the entrance of Gryffindor.
"Ma'am, did anyone just enter the lounge?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"No." Fat Lady said ~IndoMTL.com~ Did any students leave? ' asked Snape.
"Yes," said the fat lady.
"Who are they?" Filch asked eagerly.
"I don't know, they are invisible," said the fat lady.
"Just look at who's not in the dormitory and you'll know who's been wandering the castle just now," Snape suggested maliciously.
"Doing this will wake up sleeping students." Professor McGonagall clearly disagreed with this approach.
"Only senior students can use the Disillusionment Charm." Professor Smith suddenly reminded, "I think, they didn't enter the common room, they should still be somewhere in the castle, we will find those naughty of students.”
Smith obviously doesn't agree with waking up other students, however, in fact, a large number of students have been awakened by the sound just now.
"I'll find them," Filch gritted his teeth.
However, Filch and several other professors searched the castle several times, even searching for secret passages, but found nothing.
Um, okay!
Actually, there are two scapegoats.
A Ravenclaw girl becomes a scapegoat with a Hufflepuff boy, and the couple are actually dating in a secret passageway, only to be caught by the intruding Filch. on.
Fifty points were deducted from each.
But after questioning, it's clearly not the group Filch was looking for.
As for the Gryffindor students Filch was looking for?
Almost the entire castle has been turned upside down by the professors, but no sign of the Gryffindor student has been found.
No way, no one will let them know that there is a hidden room on the eighth floor of the castle, its name is the Room of Requirement.
