Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 81: Mysterious Broom Cabinet
Filch, who hurried to the Fat Lady's portrait with the oil lamp in hand, suddenly laughed, and the gatekeeper at the entrance to the Gryffindor common room was gone.
The lack of access to the Gryffindor common room means that students who travel at night can only continue to linger outside.
No one can slip away from their hands.
No one can do it!
"Ah... sneeze!" George sneezed again.
Fred stopped in front of him and looked at George speechlessly.
"Where are we going?" George rubbed his nose and leaned over to ask.
Fred moved his wand to the Marauder's map, observed the positions of Snape and Filch, and involuntarily quickened his pace. He planned to circle around the eighth floor to get rid of Filch's search and avoid Snape at the same time. Pop and Filch's cat.
However, instead of chasing in the direction of the voice, Filch turned back, blocking the corner of a corridor, waiting for Snape to appear, where he planned to prevent them from leaving the nearby secret passage.
"When did that guy get smarter!" Fred hurriedly stopped and walked back. When he saw that Filch was planning to block the corridor, his heart suddenly became cold.
Snape is almost on the eighth floor, and when he gets to the eighth floor, they'll be stuck here.
"Professor, they should still be on the eighth floor, I heard the sound just now." Filch's tone was filled with excitement that could not be concealed, and he said, "You go from this side, I will go around from the other side. In the past, they couldn't escape."
"It's over, it's blocked!" Fred looked desperate. Now, there's not enough wiggle room for the two to avoid Filch's manhunt.
However, when Fred and George hurried past the tapestry of Barnabas with troll sticks for the third time, they stumbled upon a door on the wall opposite the tapestry.
"How did it appear?" George asked, staring at the door in the wall in surprise.
They didn't know there was such a door, and it wasn't marked on the Marauder's map.
Fred gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, go in first!"
The two opened the door and hid inside, only to find that behind the door was just a dusty broom cabinet with several old brooms inside. "
The entrance to the Room of Requirement had long since disappeared by the time Filch and Snape flanked on both sides.
Both of them were completely lost.
"Where's the people?" Filch's face was stunned for a moment. He heard a voice here just now, but why didn't he see anyone?
Hiding?
Or... run away?
"No, they can't go far, I just heard someone sneeze." The muscles on Filch's cheeks were contorted with anger.
I originally thought that I could block the Gryffindor students who were playing themselves around and give them a hard lesson, but the other party still slipped through his fingers.
This huge gap made Filch feel extremely aggrieved.
In the broom closet, Fred and George both stretched out their hands to cover each other's mouths, for fear of making a little noise and attracting the attention of the two outside.
No way, Filch and Snape were standing outside the broom closet where they were hiding, and if they opened the door, something terrible would happen.
As if someone was looking after the lucky pair, Snape and Filch eventually left, and they searched for the twins elsewhere on the eighth floor.
Of course, the result was nothing.
"Next time someone wanders around at night, come and report to me immediately," Snape told Filch before leaving.
Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually receding, both Fred and George breathed a sigh of relief, but they had no idea of going out immediately.
I don't know how long I stayed in the broom closet until I saw on the Marauder's map that both Snape and Filch had given up searching for them, and then I cautiously opened the door, for fear of making another big noise. , which caught Filch's attention.
"It's very dangerous. I was almost caught by Filch. But what's the matter with this broom cabinet?" The door was missing.
"What's going on?" Fred was equally confused, and he reached out and knocked on the wall twice, then looked at the Marauder's Map at hand.
There are no hints on this.
"The castle at Hogwarts still hides a lot of secrets. Even the moon face, wormtail, big feet and prongs don't all know these secrets!" George couldn't help but sighed, looking towards His twin brother asked, "By the way, how did that door appear just now?"
"I don't know!" After Fred's research was fruitless, he gave up temporarily, "Forget it, let's go back first, I hope Mrs. Fat has returned."
Fred and George breathed a sigh of relief before returning to the Fat Lady's portrait.
The fat lady in pajamas looked at the two and asked, "Where have you been?"
"Walk." George said the order immediately. "It's a great song."
The portrait opened, and they immediately climbed into the common room, slumped into the armchair, looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"Tonight was really thrilling." George's excitement hadn't completely subsided.
"I think Filch must be mad." Fred laughed happily. To be honest, he really didn't like that Mr. Manager ~IndoMTL.com~ It was nearly five o'clock when he returned to the dormitory. Although feeling very tired, the two of them could not sleep at all until they were awakened vaguely in the morning.
"Ah..." Fred yawned so much that he didn't even bother to open his eyes.
"When did you come back?" Albert put on a long run and opened the window to let the cool morning breeze blow into the room.
"Probably... in the morning... around five o'clock." Fred covered his yawn again and asked sleepily, "What time is it now?"
"Seven thirty in the morning."
Looking at the sleepy twin brothers, Albert shook his head, "I told you all, don't go for a night tour at this time, there are two herbal classes in the morning, and don't be late at the greenhouse."
"I told you..." George picked up his pillow and smashed it at Fred, and the guy fell back on the bed, looking tired.
"You said that when Mrs. Fat was away at night, you were almost caught by Filch, and finally escaped by hiding in a broom closet on the eighth floor?" Incredibly, he wondered what method Fred and George used to escape from Snape and Filch?
Or, George is lying?
"Later, while you were looking, the broom cabinet was gone?" Albert heard George mention the location of the cabinet, and immediately knew what they were talking about.
House of Requirement.
The two guys narrowly escaped by hiding in the Room of Requirement.
After Fred and George leave the broom closet, they discover that it has disappeared without warning.
That day, Fred and George skipped the morning herbal class and slept in the afternoon before waking up naturally.
