Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 78: Night tour


At midnight, everyone in the dormitory went to bed.

Fred quietly pulled the sheets, got up from the bed, walked to George’s bed, stretched out his hand and nudged it twice, making a shush.

George slowly got up, put on his robe again, picked up his wand, and tiptoed out of the room, while Fred behind him gently closed the door.

The two walked up the spiral staircase and entered the Gryffindor common room.

There is no one in the lounge, and the fire in the fireplace has gone out. The two did not leave the lounge immediately, but found an armchair and sat down.

Fred took the old parchment from the pocket of his robe and tapped it with his wand. “I solemnly swear I have done nothing good.”

“Me too.” George muttered next to him, and immediately brought the lit wand over to illuminate the Marauder’s map for Fred.

After the castle map is constructed, Fred spreads the Marauder’s map on the table, and the two start looking for Filch’s name, the nasty Mr. janitor who is on the ground floor next to the janitor’s office. Resting in a bedroom while his cat Mrs Norris is patrolling the fifth floor.

The teasing Peeves is in the History of Magic classroom on the second floor, and Dumbledore is pacing back and forth in the Headmaster’s room.

“Where’s Percy?” George whispered.

Fred pointed to Percy’s dorm and said, “Sleeping.”

“Ok, the night tour begins!” Fred and George high-five each other, put away the Marauder’s map and prepare to go.

However, as soon as the two of them climbed through the portrait passage, they were stared at by Mrs. Fatty: “Where are you going at this time?”

“Night tour, ma’am.” Fred grinned.

The fat lady was also taken aback for a moment, she never thought that someone would talk Yeyou so confidently.

“Come on!” George, who was behind him, stretched out his hand and pushed Fred, and the two quickly disappeared into the corner of the corridor.

Standing in the dark, silent hallway, the Weasley twins are in high spirits, with the Marauder’s Map in hand, the whole of Hogwarts Castle will be completely open to them.

As for Filch, never try to catch them.

“Albert will definitely regret not taking the night tour with us,” Fred said happily to George after confirming Filch’s location again.

“I think Albert may not be willing to go on a night tour with us until he learns the Disillusionment Spell.” George’s tone was filled with excitement that could not be concealed, “However, this is our first time using Just click on the map and use it alone.”

In fact, the twins are also reluctant to share the secrets of the Marauder’s map with too many people.

“When we figure out all the secret passages in the castle, it will definitely scare them both.” Fred said happily.

In the daytime, there are some secret passages, they can’t openly try it, but there is no one in the castle at night, so there is no need to worry too much, this is a good opportunity.

Fred took the Marauder’s map to the front. The corridor was dark and eerie. Every time he turned, he felt his little heart beating.

This is an exciting feeling!

“Stop!” Fred quickly extinguished his wand and made a shush gesture at George behind him.

“What’s wrong.”

“It’s almost headless Nick.”

After waiting for about thirty seconds, Fred, under the cover of George, re-lighted his wand and checked the position of Nick, who was almost headless.

“It’s gone!” Fred said.

The two crept down the stairs and stopped in front of a statue of a knight in armor on the seventh floor.

On the Marauder’s map, an ink dot marked “Fred” was tapping the knight’s helmet with his wand, and a spell appeared next to it: “Turn the mouth into a door.”

The two looked at each other and turned their mouths?

“I’ll try it and turn my mouth into a door.” After turning off the lights, George picked up his wand and tapped the helmet visor of the stone knight’s armor.

The statue of the knight’s helmet suddenly bent down, and the mask he opened suddenly opened and continued to expand, just like a person bending over and opening his mouth, the entrance is big enough for a slightly thinner person to enter.

Fred glanced at the Marauder’s map, made sure that no one was there, and walked in quickly, followed by George.

This is a narrow, secret passage, the ground is full of dust and cobwebs,

“I dare say that this road has not been traveled for a long time.” Fred used his wand to poke the spider web in front of him and moved forward with difficulty. This road was going down, and there was a door at the exit, a stone door. , as Fred and George passed through, they found themselves blocked by a wooden door.

“Where is this place?” George asked.

“Fourth floor, I remember where this is. After some doors are opened, there is a stone door inside that cannot be opened.”

“I dare say, this is a single pass.” George reached out and pushed the stone door.

Some of the doors at Hogwarts are not real doors at all, just solid walls that look like doors, and now it seems that these are actually doors, and they are also doors of secret passages. It’s just that they can only pass through the other side of the door, not directly from this side.

George carefully left the wooden door open, and just raised his wand, a drowsy, nightcap-wearing portrait resounded with complaints.

“Watch out boy, we’re going to sleep.”

“Oh, sorry!” George immediately lowered his wand and said to Fred, “Get out of here first.”

“Go this way, I know there is a secret passage here!” Fred quickly led the way. They stopped by a vase on the corner of the third floor~IndoMTL.com~George stepped forward and used his wand to touch the vase. Knock up twice, “Turn left and turn right.”

The vase made a slight rubbing sound, and a black spot suddenly appeared in a landscape painting hanging on the wall next to it. The black spot gradually enlarged, and soon saw a door. George stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the door handle, With a slight push, the original photo frame opened, revealing the entrance hidden behind.

After the two walked in, they realized that this was actually a secret road leading to the outside of the castle, and the exit was on the mountain road leading to the dock. There are weeds covering the entrance, and more importantly, no one can see clearly that there are secret passages.

After the twins came out, the mountain wall at the entrance gradually returned to its original state.

“Who would have known that there was still an entrance here.” Fred reached out and knocked on the rock on the mountain wall.

“How do we get in, don’t tell me the wind blows here all night.” George wrapped his arms around him, shivering in the night wind.

“Let me see.” Fred glanced at the Marauder’s map, and there was still a way to teach them how to open the entrance.

“Three times on the raised stone?” he muttered, looking for the stone described on the map, “Quickly open the hole.”

The stone wall suddenly changed, and a hidden stone wall appeared in front of the two of them, and the stone wall slowly opened.

The two hurried in. The wind at night was a little cold, and George almost caught a cold. On the way back, he sneezed several times.

“Are you all right?” Fred asked.

“It seems to be a little cold.” George rubbed his nose.

“Let’s be here today, and have class tomorrow.” Fred covered his yawn.

George agrees.
