The Alchemist of Harry Potter

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

Before they got out of the secret passage, the two had already determined the next route, and 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 okay, it's just that 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 from a secret passage here.

"Meow."

A strange cat meows.

Fred's movements froze in place, raised his wand and looked forward, a dark figure came out from the corner, and the two of them looked at it, and it was Mrs. Norris of Filch.

The cat turned and ran away after seeing the two of them.

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

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

Fred and George felt very happy when they thought of Filch who had a cold and woke up in the middle of the night.

"Let's 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, causing their originally happy mood to drop to a slump.

The fat lady went out to drop by 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, and the speed was 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 was definitely more appropriate to go on a night tour, find a place to stay, and wait for the Fat Lady to come back, risking a possible collision with Filch.

Where is the right place to stay?

The answer is the secret way.

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 for the night tour. student.

"Let Filch find it!" George curled his lips.

"Be careful, so as not to capsize." Fred reminded.

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

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

Now, I can only expect Filch to give up the search sooner, and the Fat Lady to come back sooner.

On the fifth floor, in the portrait corridor, Filch was 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 distinguish 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,

This is impossible! "

It didn't take a few minutes since Mrs. Norris sounded the alarm and he got here, those nasty little devils 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 is difficult for students who travel at night to not be caught by him." 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 their Bad situation.

"Why not go and see if the fat lady is back," George suggested. 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, but the result was still 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. I don't think Filch knows that passage. I'm sure Archie won't find us."

However, Mrs Norris is on patrol on the seventh floor and could be caught if not careful.

The two planned to go to other floors through the secret road carved by the sphinx on the eighth floor, but found that Filch was actually walking along this secret road 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 sculpture of the Gryphon, and immediately heard the running moving sound.

"I found you, don't try to slip away!" Filch muttered. He carried the oil lamp and strode toward the seventh floor. Mrs. Norris immediately ran over to meet, and led the way in front of him, taking him to find a place in the evening. The guy wandering around the castle.

"No, Filch is coming this way!" Fred didn't try to open the statue of the knight's armor, 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 you see the opponent's movements clearly through the Marauder's map, and can you still be caught?

nonexistent.

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 I do?" Fred shrugged helplessly, "He chased, we ran."

A game of cat and mouse has officially begun.
