Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 80 Mice Playing With Cats

   "This way, this way." Fred was running, he felt his heart beating faster, his blood boiling, and the game of hide and seek with Filch was more interesting than he imagined.

   Filch had just passed through the secret passage, and went around to intercept them, but Fred was not worried. Before Filch rushed forward to intercept them through the secret passage, the two of them took the first step to go against him.

  Filch would never try to stop them in advance, and the other party's physical strength was not as good as the two of them!

  The only troublesome cat is Mrs. Norris. This cat is more difficult to deal with than Filch. It is fast and smart. It is not easy to get rid of it.

Filch's cat would have alerted its owners, and had been staring at them, and Fred was tempted to kick it, but they knew they were running out of time, and kicking Mrs Norris would only Make Filch even more berserk.

   "I heard footsteps again, how come Filch is faster than us." George complained panting.

   "Don't worry, he won't catch up, this way!" Fred was far less familiar with the castle than Filch, and he needed the Marauder's Map to keep him firmly behind.

   "He's gone out of the secret way." Fred suddenly laughed. "Turn right ahead and go down the stairs. Let's go to the fourth floor."

   "I dare say...he must be mad!" said George cheerfully.

Filch does know a lot of secret passages in the castle, and he is more familiar with the environment in the castle than the Weasley brothers, but so what, they have the Marauder's Map here, even if Filch goes around to intercept it in advance, as long as they That way, Filch's detour would have lost them instead.

  Fred slowed down, took a breath, looked away from the Marauder's Map, and said cheerfully, "Filch stopped, I guess he is still confused."

   "Actually, this is quite interesting, going around in circles with Filch." During the chase with Filch, George lost all sleepiness, and now he is a little excited, "This matter can keep us bragging for several months."

   "Tsk, tsk, nasty freshmen, wandering around in the middle of the night." Peeves suddenly jumped out of the prize showroom, stopped in front of the two, and screamed happily.

   "Good evening." George raised his hand to greet Peeves, "Filch's cat is chasing us, why don't you give him some trouble."

   "I would rather have you caught by Filch." Peeves' eyes sparkled mischievously.

   "We won't, Filch is still chasing us everywhere." Fred shrugged, picked up his wand and used the Unlocking Charm to open the wooden door leading to another corridor.

   "Oh, maybe, I should tell Filch," said Peeves gravely. "It's for your own good."

   "Then tell him." George said disapprovingly before closing the door behind his back, "However, I heard that your relationship is not good, would you like to see Filch in a happy mood?"

  Fred waved his hand at Peeves and said, "I also have reservations about that."

   "Students don't sleep!" Peeves, who was molested by the two, suddenly roared, "Wandering outside the prize display room."

   "Peves is so annoying." George muttered, his eyelids twitching.

   "If he doesn't shout, he won't be called Peeves." Fred immediately glanced at the Marauder's map, and Filch was coming towards him at a very fast speed.

   "Quiet Peeves."

  Fred and George returned the same way, but Peeves was still in the corridor and did not leave immediately.

   "No, you should have made Peeves yell louder," Fred muttered, "Shout at the top of your lungs!"

"as you wish."

  Seeing the two returning, Peeves suddenly appeared in front of Fred and shouted, "Here, here, those nasty newborn kid heads are here."

  Fred gestured rudely to Peeves before leaving, and disappeared into the corner of the corridor with George.

   "Peves?"

  A moment later, Filch rushed over out of breath and said, "Tell me quickly, which way they went."

   "You should say 'please.'"

  Filch didn't intend to talk nonsense with Peeves, and was going to chase forward with his cat. Tonight, he was about to explode, those guys dared to play hide-and-seek with him.

there has never been!

   Filch had never been humiliated like this before, he must catch those students and punish them severely.

   "What's going on?" Snape appeared in the corridor in his pajamas.

   "Professor, there are people wandering around at night, and I'm trying to catch them." Filch said through gritted teeth, "Peeves knows who it is, but he won't tell."

  Snape looked up at Peeves and asked, "Peves, who is it?"

   "Two nasty Gryffindor freshmen," Peeves stared at Filch, and said in a strange way, "Those two little devils say you can't catch them!"

   Peeves watched Filch's distorted face with anger, and happily flew away. He did not reveal the names of Fred and George.

"Professor, those two Gryffindor students must be going back to the lounge after being alarmed by Peeves. We must stop them on the eighth floor. I know there is a shortcut to the eighth floor..." Fei With rich experience, Erqi quickly thought of a way to catch the night tour students, and quickly followed Snape.

  Snape agreed, and he didn't mind catching the two Gryffindor freshmen and taking a hard one-hundred-point penalty.

  At this moment, Fred and George, who went to the eighth floor, also found Snape joining in their search, frowned slightly and said, "We must return to the lounge quickly."

  If there was only Filch alone, the two of them would not worry about being blocked at all. Now that there is another Snape, the situation is not easy to say.

  No one wanted to fall into the hands of this Potions professor, it would definitely be fruitless, everyone knew that Snape hated Gryffindor students.

  The two walked around outside, and when they returned to the eighth floor, the fat lady hadn't come yet.

  Fred and George were disappointed, which meant that they had to wander around the castle, avoiding the raids of Snape and Filch.

"No, Filch is coming to the eighth floor through a secret passage. We must find a place to hide as soon as possible." Fred, who was observing the Marauder's Map, said suddenly. He immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly took the lead to prepare to run away. .

   "Be careful not to be blocked by Snape." George quickly reminded.

   "I know." Fred felt very worried, and quickly retreated to the corridor. Now he went to the seventh floor, and he might run into Cat and Snape. This team combination is more dangerous than Filch.

   "There is a room next to it, maybe we can hide in it." George pointed to an abandoned room on the right side of the eighth floor.

"No, it will definitely be found that way. Filch's cat is more sensitive than we imagined. We need to be patient, circle around with Filch, and leave from the secret path painted by the griffin." Frey De paused to catch his breath, and realized that they might be caught, and his mood suddenly became very bad.
