Chapter 79： Filch (1/2)

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 and return to the Gryffindor common room.

Before they got out of the secret road, 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 was about to sneeze, Fred quickly reached out and covered George's mouth to avoid making too much noise.

”It's okay, but the nose is a little itchy.” George stretched out his hand and rubbed his nose, then covered his nose with a yawn. He began to miss his soft bed.

”It might be a cold!” Fred looked at his twin brother sympathetically, ”Go back!”

The two went up the stairs to the fifth floor, preparing to go directly to the eighth floor from a secret road here.

”Meow.”

A strange meow.

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 attentively, and it was Filch’s Lady Lorice.

Cat turned and ran after seeing the two.

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

But 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, and woke up in the middle of the night.

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

The two reached the eighth floor through the secret passage on the fifth floor, through the dark and silent Gryffindor promenade, and came to the portrait of the fat lady.

However, the painting in front of the two of them was empty, which made them fall into a trough with a happy mood.

The fat lady went out late at night to drop in.

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

”What should I do?” Fred's face was not pretty. They didn't know when the fat lady would come back. Moreover, Filch had already gotten up, and he and his cat were on their way to the fifth floor.

The guy took a short cut through the secret tunnel, 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. That would definitely catch a cold, or else, find a place to rest first?”

Looking for a place to rest?

It is undoubtedly more appropriate to go on a night tour, find a place to stay, and wait for the fat lady to come back than risking the risk of colliding with Filch.

Where is the right place to stay?

The answer is secret way.

There are several secret passages on the eighth floor, but Fred is not so sure that Filch knows which ones. Through the live-point 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 not to capsize.” Fred reminded.

He didn't want to be caught by Filch. Once caught, he would never end well.
