"Smell everywhere, my dear, in which corner they may be hiding." Late at night, Filch's low voice came from the corridor outside the prize display on the third floor.
In front of him, a long-haired cat with scarlet eyes and dark gray fur was sniffing around. It was his pet cat, Mrs. Loris.
Apparently, Filch was searching for students who were traveling at night.
And he seemed to have gotten the message, and the search in the showroom on the third floor was very targeted.
But not long after, Mrs. Norris stopped in front of a robe, and at the same time touched its head with a big hand and rubbed it gently.
Mrs. Norris obviously also enjoyed this touch, and instinctively narrowed her eyes.
"Who is it...oh, Professor Capet, why is it you?" Filch, who had followed, was originally prepared to scold him, but after seeing the person clearly, he exclaimed.
"Nothing, I can't sleep a little, so I came to witness the glorious achievements of Hogwarts. Who is Mr. Filch?" John still had that gentle and warm smile on his face.
"Hmph, I found signs of children out for night walks, so I came to take a look!" Filch snorted.
For some reason, he resented the smile on John's face.
Especially seeing Mrs. Norris getting close to each other made him feel disgusted with John.
But there was nothing he could do about it. John was a professor with a high status, so no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only hold it in.
Just like other professors.
"Oh, that's it. Those children are really troublesome, but they shouldn't be in this area. I've been here for a long time and I haven't noticed any students here!" John didn't pay attention to Filch's face. There was an obvious trace of dissatisfaction, but he continued to tidy up Mrs. Loris's hair carefully, making Mrs. Loris snore comfortably.
"Really? That's great. In that case, Mrs. Norris, let's go back and rest!" After hearing what John said, Filch immediately summoned Mrs. Norris and wanted to leave. If this cat stays any longer, It's time to rebel.
Faced with her master's call, Mrs. Norris could only reluctantly leave John's gentle hand. Before leaving, she called out to John twice before leaving with Filch.
And John's eyes kept looking at Mrs. Norris deeply until she disappeared around the corner.
This cat - it's not simple.
"What? You still refuse to come out?" After making sure that Filch and Mrs. Norris had completely left, John said to a prize display case.
Didn't get any response.
John couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
Then he walked quietly to the side.
Behind the display cabinet, three children were leaning nervously against the display cabinet, not daring to move.
"Dean, see if Professor Capet is gone..." Ron pushed the little black guy on the side with his arm and whispered.
Well, that’s right, it’s Little Heizi, a black boy named Dean Thomas. In the original novel, he was Harry’s love rival and the one who stole Ginny…emmm, John said it was really hard to evaluate this.
"Why don't you look at it yourself? What if he finds me?" Dean said with some dissatisfaction after hearing Ron's words.
"...I also think you are more suitable. After all, you are not very conspicuous at night..." Another child said, who is it if it is not the demolition genius Seamus Finnigan?
"Can you please stop talking? What will the professor do if he hears this?" The last person to speak was a little girl named Lavender Brown, the one who competed with Hermione for Ron in the original novel.
In the light of the Holy Light, John expressed what evil Hermione had done in the original time and space.
Well, it's all Rowling's fault, she deserves to be expelled!
The reason why the four children are here is because Ron was provoked again after Malfoy broke his hand. So Malfoy got excited, just like Harry in the original plot, and agreed. A late night duel.
Originally, only Ron and Dean came, but after Harry Potter disappeared, Ron somehow got together with this little guy and formed a new duo.
Lavender Brown and Seamus accidentally joined in before departure.
It can only be said that fate is like a circle.
The ones who appeared here in the original time and space were Hermione, Harry, Ron and Neville.
Now it has become these four.
"I think you are looking for me?" Just after the four children finished speaking, another voice came out.
The four children looked over together, only to find that John, who was supposed to be on the other side of the showroom and didn't know if he had left, suddenly stood behind Seamus, who was squeezed last because they were the youngest.
Several children were frightened by John's sudden appearance and were about to scream.
Fortunately, John was well prepared. Each of them had a silencing spell, so the four children couldn't make any sound.
To be honest, if one of the four naughty children, Seamus, was not the target of his mission, John would have the urge to throw all four children into Filch's office.
"I'll untie it for you right now. If you don't want Gryffindor to lose points or go to Filch's office, just keep quiet...understand?" John said angrily.
The four idiots nodded in unison.
Only then did John untie them.
"You freshmen are very powerful now. You come out to play wizard duel in the middle of the night, right? Do you know what kind of behavior this is?" John asked with a sneer at the four naughty children.
The four children all lowered their heads and said nothing, if the dean and principal knew about this.
Probably getting fired?
"But in my opinion, it's not really a big mistake. After all, we are children. Who hasn't made a mistake?" Just as the four children were lamenting their fate, they heard John change the subject.
"Professor Cape, do you mean we can't be held responsible?" The little girl Lavender Brown was the boldest and asked directly.
"When did I say that I would hold you accountable?" John raised his eyebrows and chuckled. "In my opinion, night walks and duels are not big mistakes... Your real mistake is stupidity!"
When they heard John call them stupid, several children who were still sober and he didn't hold them accountable suddenly raised their heads, their eyes full of dissatisfaction.
"Did I say something wrong? After being provoked by someone casually, without any investigation, I rashly came here with a few friends, and was almost blocked by Filch. Should I still praise him? Are you really smart?" John mocked.
Hearing John's ridicule, Seamus and Lavender were okay. They originally disapproved of Ron coming to duel with Malfoy.
On the other hand, as the victim, his face immediately turned red.
As for Dean?
Sorry, it's too dark to see.
"It's really stupid!"
"How could we have such a stupid brother?"
In another corner, the twin brothers were whispering.
"Okay, now I'll send you back to rest... Don't think about the duel anymore. Malfoy and the others didn't come at all... In fact, as soon as you agreed to his duel, he went to Filch's office to report. At that time, I I just happened to be passing by, and I have to say that in terms of cleverness, he is much better than you!" If he didn't want to gain Lassimo's favor, John wouldn't want to talk nonsense with these naughty kids.
