Maybe Peeves didn't want to publicize Ron's affairs at all, or maybe he just wanted to tease Ron! So, don’t look at it’s meowing happily now, but look at its route and choose some remote place where no one is around to run! Now Hermione, who was following behind, could see that it really just wanted Ron to chase it and play with it in circles in the school corridor!
"Ron! Please stop chasing it! You'll never catch it like this! Just give up! The more you chase it, the happier it will be! It's not like you don't know that Peeves has always been like this Look like that!" Seeing Ron still limping after Peeves, Hermione reached out and wanted to catch him!
Hermione looked at her watch just now. It was already very late, and the three of them had been chasing Peeves for a while! If you continue to linger in the corridor like this, it will be too late to go back to the lounge! And once the curfew is over, if Filch finds out, he will be punished with solitary confinement and points deducted! Compared to a trivial matter like Ron being laughed at, this is something worse and more worth worrying about!
"No! Hermione! I think I can catch up with it soon! It can't run far! It should be right in front!" The stubborn Ron was unwilling to give up. He must catch up with Peeves and stop him. Its gibberish! But I haven’t thought about how to stop him. Anyway, I’ll catch up first!
Hermione stopped, sighed, looked at Ron, and shook her head helplessly! So what if we catch up with Peeves? Threaten it? Or beat it up? Hermione really couldn't think of what kind of means a second-year student like herself could use to deal with a ghost?
Of all the spells they can learn now, none of them can effectively harm this incorporeal ghost! And now, the three of them are actually chasing Peeves... This seems really stupid to Hermione! What a complete waste of effort!
"Kill you! Tear you apart! I see you!"
…
"What's the sound?" Harry suddenly stopped and turned his head to listen to something. He just seemed to hear some hissing sound vaguely, but it didn't seem to be very clear.
"Did you hear it? A strange sound!" Harry asked Ron and Hermione in confusion.
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear anything! I only heard Ron's voice now! And that Peeves' voice!" Hermione followed angrily at the back, watching Ron working hard at the front alone. He chases the Peeves who he may never catch up with!
…
"I think I can catch up with it soon! It should be right in front! It must be right this time!" Ron was not interested in listening to what Harry was saying. All he could think about now was how to catch up. That damn Peeves! Ron, whose brain was cramped, didn't even think about whether it was right to use the word damn to describe Peeves. After all... it was already dead!
"Oh! Merlin's beard! What a ghost!"
"Hey! Ron! Wait!" Seeing Ron walking down a dark corridor alone, Ron's screams and curses were immediately heard. Harry ignored the strange thing he heard just now. What was the sound? He and Hermione quickly chased after it.
"What's wrong? Ron?" After turning around the corridor, the two of them saw Ron standing motionless in front of them, and couldn't help asking curiously.
"You'd better see for yourselves!"
Following the direction Ron pointed, what Harry and Hermione saw was a cat! It was tied upright and hung by its tail from the torch bracket on the wall! It is motionless now, the hair all over its body is exploding, and its eyes are still wide open, as if it has been greatly frightened! Moreover, its current state is still very strange, making the three of them feel as if it is dead!
At the same time, on the wall where the cat hung, someone wrote in magical fluorescent fonts: The secret room has been opened again, those who are enemies of the successor, beware!
Seeing this weird picture, the three of them couldn't help but take a step back! Ron stepped on the water on the floor of the corridor. Before his body could fully recover, he staggered due to the slippery floor and fell on his back into the dirty water.
"Huh? What are you doing? Why don't you come after me? Little guys?"
At this moment, Peeves sneakily floated out of the wall again. It was having fun teasing Ron, and was about to continue playing, but suddenly found that Ron had stopped chasing it! So, it had to turn back again to see what happened.
After seeing the three people staring blankly at the wall behind it, it turned its head and looked over curiously. Then Peeves was stunned, because he discovered that hanging on the wall behind him was actually a cat! And it’s a cat that looks dead! Peeves acknowledged the dead cat! That should be Filch's pet. As for the name, it seems to be Mrs. Norris?
"Who's over there? Which kid is it? Haha! I saw you! Don't even think about running away this time!" Filch, who had been hearing strange movements in the corridor since the curfew just started, finally rushed out. Come over, he can vaguely see a few students at the end of the corridor from a distance!
This made Filch extremely happy! You know, it's already past the curfew time, so if he is caught now, he will definitely be punished according to school rules!
Now it’s fun! They definitely can't run away! Filch had already begun to think about how to punish them! Is it confinement? Or cleaning toilets for a week? It's a pity that corporal punishment is no longer popular now, otherwise, he would have plenty of ways to deal with them!
The three of them were shocked when they heard Filch's voice! Harry and Hermione were about to help Ron up and find a way to escape, but they found that Peeves suddenly screamed uncontrollably.
"Filch! Come and see! These three imps killed your cat! They are the murderers!" Peeves shouted, quickly rushed towards Filch, hid behind him, and reached out. Turning around, he smiled evilly at the three of them!
Hermione lamented in her heart, Peeves' words made it impossible for the three of them to escape again! Otherwise, nothing can be said clearly! If they try to escape under such circumstances and make Filch or other professors believe Peeves' nonsense, then they may really be convicted of murdering a cat!
"No!!" After hearing what Peeves said, the smile on Filch's face froze immediately, and he immediately ran over at high speed, pushed the three people who were stunned, ran to the wall and knelt down, all over his body. Shivering, he looked at the cat hanging upside down on the wall.
"No! This is my Mrs. Norris? No! It shouldn't be like this!!"
"What are you doing here? It's curfew time now!" Snape, who was passing by, also noticed something strange happening here.
He originally had something to do and stayed in the Potions classroom for a while. Now he originally wanted to go back to the office directly, but when he heard something was going on here on the way, he turned around and hurried over.
When he came here quickly, Snape first looked coldly at the Potter trio who had been causing trouble all day long, then walked to Filch who was crying in pain, and looked at the upside-down animal on the wall. cat.
"Get out of the way! Filch!"
Snape took a step forward, arrogantly pushed Filch out of the way, walked straight to the wall, leaned closer, and stared at the strange dead cat carefully. While observing carefully, he took out his wand and touched the cat carefully, muttering something silently.
"Tsk! This is interesting!" Snape snorted coldly after checking it, with a bit of surprise on his face. He had just discovered something strange about this cat!
After some inspections just now, Snape finally discovered that the cat was not actually dead, but it was definitely not petrified by an ordinary spell! Because the curse he just tried didn't have any effect!
It is precisely because of this that he looks surprised! After seeing that he really couldn't help the cat, Snape stopped and looked up at the words on the wall, this...! At that moment, his eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't say anything more! He continued to have a cold face, shook his head and took two steps away.
Seeing Snape shaking his head and retreating, Filch thought he meant that the cat was indeed dead. He got up crying and wanted to fly towards the trio.
"It was you who did it! You were the ones who killed my Mrs. Norris! I can't spare you!" Filch's ferocious expression frightened Harry and Hermione to take several steps back. They were still lying on the bed. I can't even care about Ron in the water!
"What exactly happened here?" Dumbledore, who arrived after hearing the news, came over in time, stretched out his hand to stop Filch who was about to take action, and asked Snape at the same time. Behind him were Professor McGonagall and Gilderoy Lockhart, the new and somewhat funny Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year.
"You'd better see for yourself." Snape didn't want to say anything more. He didn't know the specific situation anyway, so he simply gave up his position.
"It was the three of them! Peeves said it was the three of them that did it! They killed my cat!" Filch continued to wail with a ferocious expression.
Dumbledore ignored him, but walked to the wall and read the writing on the wall first. This situation reminded him of some bad memories, and he couldn't help but frown! A scene similar to this happened in Hogwarts many years ago. Dumbledore always thought that this matter was over! But who would have thought that this thing would appear again after so many years? This is really endless! Then he had time to hold up his glasses and study Mrs. Norris carefully.
"Quiet! Filch, your cat is not actually dead, it is just petrified! Well... a very special petrification effect." Dumbledore turned around and looked at the cat lying on the ground with dissatisfaction and howling. Filch.
"And I am certain that this kind of effect cannot be achieved by these three sophomores!"
"Ah? Not dead?" After hearing Principal Dumbledore's words, Filch finally stopped crying on the ground and quickly stood up! It turns out that his cat is not dead? This is really good news! He just thought she was going to lose his Mrs. Norris forever!
"Speaking of petrification, maybe I have a solution! If you have read my biography, you should know that I am an expert in this field!" Gilderoy Lockhart was about to step forward to use his spell-breaking spell, but Snape glared at him so hard that he had no choice but to retreat in disbelief.
Dumbledore ignored Gilderoy Lockhart, who liked to show off, and turned around to start questioning the Harry trio who were the first to arrive at the scene! But before he could speak, a familiar crisp voice came from the other side of the corridor again.
"Eh? Why is it so lively here at this time? Are you playing some interesting game?"
Annie got up in a hurry at noon today and went to barbecue a group of spiders and destroy a small area of the Forbidden Forest. Then she rode the unicorn Anna and played wildly in the Forbidden Forest for an afternoon like no one else! During this period, she only ate a few cookies and cakes stored in her dimensional pocket. It was only now that it was completely dark and her stomach started to feel hungry that she returned to the main castle of Hogwarts with more than satisfied.
It may be difficult to play with Anna again in the future, because she told Annie that the last time she came out to play, she was severely repaired by her mother! But this time, he strayed into the territory of a giant spider and almost lost his life! After it goes back this time, it will definitely be banned for a long time!
Alas~! Anne sighed, what a poor Anna! But when she thought about herself, if one day she could return to the land of voodoo, she might have to be locked up by her mother Amorin and not allowed to go out for a long time, right?
Thinking of this, Annie couldn't help but shudder! Just thinking about this kind of thing makes me feel terrible! no! Can't think about it anymore! It’s better to go back and take a shower and go to bed! When you fall asleep, you won’t think about anything!
Later, when she was jumping back to the top floor alone, Annie actually saw a group of them gathering in this dark corridor. She thought they were doing something fun, so she hurried away. He came over and asked curiously.
