A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 263: Twins and the Whomping Willow Trap

The next morning, freezing rain mixed with snowflakes fell from the sky and condensed into a smooth and transparent layer of ice on the ground. The little wizards had to move carefully through the courtyard and open space.

"Ouch!"

Ron, who had just been discharged from the hospital, stumbled and fell directly on the ground. He struggled to get up, but the ground was really slippery. Fortunately, Harry gave him a hand.

He watched enviously that the twins conjured up a pair of skates for him, and shuttled nimbly around the students in the courtyard.

"Want to try it, Ron." Fred appeared in front of him and winked at him.

"No, thank you—" Ron muttered, and he would only fall worse after he went up, "Aren't you guys having classes?"

"Don't be silly, of course we have classes," Fred said, "Hey, George, watch out—"

Harry watched George slide quickly, he waved his arms desperately, "Oops—" and immediately rolled with Fred. It was Snow, even the eyebrows were dyed white, and they pointed at each other's funny faces and laughed.

Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each other, "Let's go, there are still a lot of classes today."

"Wait, Harry!" Fred chased after him, put his arm on Harry's shoulder, and whispered to him: "Listen, the secret passage is blocked..."

"What?" Harry said stunned, he didn't react for a moment.

"The secret passage, the secret passage leading to Hogsmeade, Harry." Fred gave him a meaningful look, and Harry suddenly came to his senses.

He stammered: "The map..."

"It's nothing to do with the map. We wanted to go to Zuko to buy some goods yesterday, you know—" Fred winked at him, "Dung bombs, fireworks, etc., it turned out that the one-eyed witch statue on the fourth floor It was like dying, and then Filch's cat appeared, and we ran away."

Harry suddenly realized that it was the chain reaction after Black's attack. The professors were on guard against someone breaking into the castle suddenly. Possibly stuck in a dormitory.

"Harry—" Ron called from a distance.

"In short, we can only count on the passage behind the Whomping Willow. George and I are going to explore and wait for my good news." Fred left after speaking.

"Don't—" Harry stretched out his hand and watched the twins run away. He wanted to tell them that he had already been grounded in the castle by Dumbledore. You can't just go there at will.

After noon, the weather finally cleared up. The three of Harry had lunch and came out of the auditorium to breathe the fresh air.

"By the way, Harry, what did Fred tell you?" Ron asked curiously.

Harry told Ron and Hermione about the incident, and Ron was disappointed, "So you can't even go to Hogsmeade wearing the Invisibility Cloak?" Hermione was obviously relieved.

She said to Ron, "Don't forget, you can't do it either, Professor McGonagall told you personally, before you catch Black, you and Harry are treated the same."

Ron's entire face contorted, "I've been trying to forget this."

Harry and Hermione looked at each other. They haven't told Ron about the mouse speculation. Although Ron has been complaining that Scabbers is useless, Harry knows that Ron still treasures it. He changed the subject and said: "Maybe On weekends, we can go to the practice classroom of ancient magic text, I heard that it is very popular, and we didn’t go to the club assessment last time.”

"Actually, I want to try your Firebolt."

Harry's mood became gloomy, "Don't think about it, Wood went to find Professor McGonagall, it was useless at all, we can only wait."

Hermione immediately turned her head away, pretending to be interested in the scenery in the distance, but she suddenly pointed to the distance, "Oh, my God, what is that—"

They were standing on the upper **** of the clearing, with a glimpse of Hagrid's hut and a corner of the Forbidden Forest just below their line of sight. At this moment, the grumpy Whomping Willow frantically flicked its whip-like branches, and two little black spots ran over in a panic.

"It's Fred and George!"

They hurried towards the Whomping Willow, and fell over a dozen times because the road was too slippery. When they arrived panting, they found Professor McGonagall angrily yelling at the twins.

"I don't know what to think—haven't you guys ever studied herbal medicine? How dare you flirt with someone...Gryffindor will deduct 50 points, plus a week of confinement—at this juncture, can you save some time?" ——"

Professor McGonagall's anger has not subsided, she turned her head, "And you, Potter, Weasley, Granger, why are you here? I told you yesterday that I would stay In the castle."

"Professor, we see that Fred and George are in danger..." said Harry.

Professor McGonagall relaxed his eyebrows, "Well, there is a reason for this, and I hope you don't make similar excuses in the future. Come back with me—"

The Weasley twins followed Professor McGonagall with their heads drooping. When they passed the three of them, Fred gave them an exaggerated mouth shape:

Trap~Trap~

It was not until night that they saw the hapless twin brothers again.

Fred sat down between Harry and Ron, completely free from the depression of confinement, he said happily: "You can't imagine what we met today."

"A crazy willow spirit?" Ron said in a deliberately speculative tone.

"It's much more interesting than this." Fred's eyes lit up. "George and I are actually very cautious and ready to retreat at any time. We saw an entrance near the root of the Whomping Willow tree. It was very hidden. George found it strange. The green stuff..."

"It should be some kind of branch, which looks familiar, but there is not much exposed, so I can't recognize it." George said regretfully.

Fred continued: "So we just got closer, and the Whomping Willow writhed wildly, looking like a goblin that had eaten herbicide, and we ran away, waiting for it to calm down Come down. The result..."

"We were surrounded, and professors fell from the sky." George said with mixed feelings, "Principal Dumbledore, Professor Haip, and of course, Professor McGonagall."

Harry and the others listened dumbfounded. This was much more exciting than what they saw.

Ron looked disbelieving, "So you're still alive?" He reached out to lift Fred's arm, and it dropped suddenly, and Fred made a face at Ron.

George finally said: "Principal Dumbledore and Professor Haip took one look and left~IndoMTL.com~Leaving Professor McGonagall to clean up the mess—that is, us, I think she must have regretted being Granville at the time. The dean of Fendor..."

The twins left quickly, and they got some information from Harry, such as the whooping willow trap was probably aimed at Black, "Cool~" But they also became serious and focused on the holiday before Just let out the wind in the duel match.

"We can take the opportunity to make a fortune."

Ron stared at the backs of his two brothers, and said suddenly: "I know what they want, a shop in Diagon Alley, the family can't help them."

Harry's lips parted, but he didn't say a word about the loan, knowing the twins wouldn't accept it.

The door to the common room opened and Neville walked in.

"Have you noticed that Neville is different?" Hermione said thoughtfully.

"Is there?"

"I can't describe it, maybe it's more energetic?"

Harry looked at it for a long time, and he judged: "I should be more confident. I also have a similar expression after the special training."

"Did Professor Haip say something to him? Only Neville was detained in class today."
