Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 663: The blooming old rose
The fireworks incident of the Weasley brothers is actually not a major event. Although it was a little fun after all that caused Ron to be taken to the Forbidden Forest and wandered around, it was actually a riot of this level.
In the early morning of the next day, the gate of Hogwarts Castle did not open as usual, which caused many students to have doubts.
In the end, the door was opened by Professor McGonagall himself—no way, except for the door key in Filch, the janitor, only on the wall of the principal's room. But when everyone tried to find Filch, who was dereliction of duty, they found that this guy didn't know where he had gone at night, and no one found him for a while.
Without a gatekeeper, the school will naturally run as usual. Under the instruction of Professor McGonagall, breakfast was arranged in the auditorium as usual, so that the students started eating as usual. As for finding Filch, of course it was all left to the professors.
Fortunately, today is Sunday, Hogwarts still has enough manpower and spare energy to find such a dumb cannon janitor who has disappeared inexplicably.
To be honest, finding someone in Hogwarts Castle is still a bit difficult. Even if there are magic items like "Live Map", you may not be able to quickly find what you need from the dense handwriting. The one.
Of course, the finding of people has nothing to do with Maca. Recently, his task is to step up cooperation with the staff of the International Wizards Federation and make a perfect finish for the final preparations for the event. .
At this moment, Maca just came from the side hall, intending to eat something to fill his stomach in the auditorium, and then take a trip to the Ministry of Magic on this precious Sunday.
He had heard about the fireworks incident and the disappearance of the gatekeeper, but now Hogwarts is not dangerous at all, so he basically doesn't care about this little thing. Right now he is sitting on the staff seat, picking up a fork to add food to his plate, intending to comfort his empty stomach!
"...It seems that everyone is having a good time this time?" He stuffed half of the sausage in his mouth, and looked down on the four academies table below, "Fred and George can really toss, he didn't forget to cause some trouble for the school after graduation."
Just as he was chewing food in his mouth and casually watching the peaceful scene in the auditorium, the door of the auditorium was suddenly opened. And then, a person looked like a dog... Well, I mean, the old man in a suit and leather shoes walked into it solemnly.
The old man had mottled black hair that was obviously not dyed at home, with some faint signs of baldness, but his head was shining brightly with hair oil that looked very bad. The hair that originally seemed to be shoulder-length was pulled back and **** by him. At first glance, it looked a lot like this.
The style of the tuxedo on him is very old, because it was washed too many times and even faded, but he still meticulously ironed and trimmed it on his body, even a bouncing thread Can't find it.
Only the bow tie on his collar is very strange. The flamboyant polka dot print and the oversized model completely ruin the collocation that was still barely visible. At a glance, others thought it was a Muggle actor who was going to perform a comedy on stage!
However, no matter how big a change in his outfit was, it didn't change his appearance. Everyone in the auditorium recognized the true identity of this "old man" at a glance.
"... Filch?"
While the other person was still looking inside the auditorium at the door and seemed to be looking for someone, somebody murmured first, breaking the weird atmosphere of sudden silence. Then, the whole auditorium buzzed all of a sudden, and the little wizards scrambled to discuss this rare spectacle.
"This old man...what are you going to do?"
Even Maca, at the moment, looks dazed. Although he could tell that Filch's eyes were a bit wrong, he was at a loss as to what caused this change in the other party.
"Filch!"
At the moment, there are not many professors on the faculty seat, because several of them have been entrusted by Professor McGonagall and took the house elves to search the entire castle.
But now it seems that Filch didn't seem to stay in the castle, but went out overnight. Otherwise, let alone the professors searching, even if the elf is only allowed to stroll around, the old man can be found back quickly.
"Where did you go last night? The duty Hogwarts gave you is..." Professor McGonagall called him first, and then wanted to ask on the spot, but soon she found Filch’s The attention is not on her side at all, "Filch? What's the matter with you?"
Professor McGonagall's words hadn't landed yet, but seeing Filch as if he had found a certain target, he walked quickly to a certain position on the Gryffindor long table. If he ignores his strange dress, just this step will still bring a sense of reservedness and calmness that has seen a ghost.
This strange feeling made the little wizards look at him one after another to see what he wanted to do.
However, when Filch walked steadily to the middle of the long table, he suddenly knelt down at a figure sitting next to him, and then "swish" from his sleeve. Draw out a bright red flower.
"Oh...beautiful Miss Lavender Brown, you are as charming as this rose on the North Slope. You made me awake all night...Oh! I think I have fallen in love with you deeply... …" He sent the roses forward and said loudly in that hoarse voice, "Excuse me, is it an honor for me to invite you to the sea of flowers on the northern **** on this day of blooming flowers? "
"Wow--"
In terms of the instinct to join in the fun, the cubs will not be inferior to any other group of people. As Filch’s confession of love he didn’t know where he learned from, completely frightened Lavender, a burst of cheers like a landslide and tsunami broke out on Gryffindor’s long table, and soon This led to the students of several other students.
To be honest, no one had expected Filch to have such a surprisingly good show beforehand, which made the entire auditorium boil.
Of course, the one who was most shocked at this time was undoubtedly Miss Lavender Brown, one of the parties involved. Before Filch appeared, she kept glaring at Ron, seeming to wonder why her "little trick" didn't work!
Yes, after seeing the ecstasy in Slughorn’s potions class that day, she immediately came up with the idea of this magical potion. In order to get her hands, she even went to Slughorn's office with every possible means, and stole the things carefully.
But who knows, fate always likes to tease those who take it for granted, and Lavender Brown is one of its victims.
"...I'll go and see."
On the faculty seat, Maca spoke to Professor McGonagall, who was also wide-eyed. Then he stood up and walked to the "confession scene" where his jaw dropped.
"Let's give way, get out of the way--"
He pushed away a group of little wizards, came to Filch's side in everyone's sight, and patted him on the shoulder casually. This Filch was still half kneeling in front of Lavender, and he meant that he would be indifferent if the other party didn't agree.
"Filch? Hello—"
Maca took a few more shots. Seeing that he didn't respond to his actions, he simply waved his hand, controlled his clothes with a Levitating Charm, and lifted him up.
"No, let me go... Let me go! I want to invite the beautiful Miss Brown for a walk, and I want to give her the most romantic marriage proposal in a sea of flowers! I--"
"You better be quiet first!"
Maca shook his hand in front of his eyes, immediately letting him droop his eyelids, and the previous hoarse struggle also calmed down. After Maca checked him a little bit~IndoMTL.com~ then the Levitating Charm was removed, causing him to collapse weakly on the ground.
"Mystery..." Maca was about to tell the source of Filch's symptoms casually, but after glancing at Lavender, he stopped talking, "Go back and eat! Nothing to see— —Miss Brown, come to my office after breakfast."
Like the previous fireworks incident, it’s not a big deal, but there are students who use ecstasy to fascinate a dumb old man, which is not suitable for talking everywhere at the moment. The alchemy event is about to begin, and all bad influences must be paid attention to at all times.
So, even if he asked Lavender to see him again afterwards, he said this rather quietly, and only Lavender and Hermione sitting next to him heard it.
Soon, after Maca took the semi-conscious Filch out of the auditorium and went straight to the school hospital, the farce finally settled down temporarily. Although there are still many students in the auditorium speculating about something in private, it is obviously not that easy to find the real answer.
On the other hand, if you have to say anything, Alexander and Enns are also the second cause of this farce. It's a pity that there are too many accidents around here, so the two of them don't even notice it.
As far as they are concerned, Neville, who eats a piece of fascination chocolate, is the most important observation target. As for Filch, who inadvertently swallows a whole box of fascination chocolate, what does it have to do with them?
For the entire breakfast time, the two of them focused on Neville's body. They kept paying attention to them, making the best preparation for them to try blessing chocolate.
The effect of Fu Ling Potion was confirmed by Alexander last night, and Neville's luck is absolutely unparalleled. Then, as long as there are no significant side effects after losing the effect, success is in sight.
