The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 30 The Cunning Hunter

As Filch led the twins to his office, he kept his mouth open all the way, talking about how he would punish the two brothers.

These punishments sound bloody, but none of them can really be used on students. Dumbledore has long since abolished this behavior.

Ada fell far behind the three of them, and she decided to follow up to check the situation. If the two were punished for labor service, she could also help them.

Arriving at the administrator's office, Filch roughly pushed Fred and George into the office, and slammed the office door shut with a bang.

The twins stood in the office, they no longer needed to observe the room, and the chains and handcuffs that were scrubbed brightly did not frighten the two who came and went frequently, their familiarity with this place was second only to Filch and his cat .

There is an oil lamp hanging from the ceiling, which makes the office a little dark, and the cabin is filled with the smell of grilled fish. There is a filing cabinet on the wall for storing student disciplinary records, and there is a drawer on the desk that reads "Confiscated materials, extremely dangerous".

"See those chains and handcuffs?" Filch said darkly. "I want to hang you two up like two fish. Hang up for a few days, and you'll be fine in the future." obedient."

"That's really a pity, you can't hang us on it now." said Fred, who is not afraid of boiling water for dead pigs.

"If I were you, I'd oil them a lot, maybe someday, dear Filch." George even joked with Filch.

"You'll get a taste of it right away." Filch said fiercely, "Let me think about how I should punish you! The Forbidden Forest is pretty good, trust me, you'll be scared to pee Pants!"

The twins were indifferent to Filch's threats, but they hoped that Filch would really punish them for going to the Forbidden Forest. This is when sleepiness came and someone gave them pillows.

"But before that, I have to inform Professor McGonagall." Filch said while writing his punishment opinion on the parchment.

Hearing Professor McGonagall's name, the fearless twins finally changed their faces. For Professor McGonagall, the two brothers are still in awe.It's just that Filch, who has been enjoying himself on paper, didn't see the change in the twins' expressions.

Meow!A meow came from the door.Filch quickly opened the door, and carried Mrs. Loris who was at the door into the room.Mrs. Norris kept meowing non-stop, and Filch remembered something that he had left behind.

"Speak! Where is the other person? Who is he?" Filch demanded to the twins, "Is that the dark boy you usually hang out with?"

The joy of capturing the twins made Filch temporarily forget that there was another person on the night tour. After seeing his cat, he finally remembered.

"You read it wrong."

"Just the two of us."

"There is no third person at all." The twins said in unison, "Maybe a student from another academy, and your cat can't talk."

"You liars!" Filch yelled at Fred and George.

Filch didn't bother to interrogate the twins, and hurried out to check, but Filch who was standing at the door didn't see anyone.

"Who's there? Come out?" Filch took a few more steps forward, but he still didn't see anyone, his shout was just a bluff.Mrs. Loris also jumped out of Filch's arms, letting out a shrill cat meow.

As soon as Filch left the office, George hurriedly opened the drawer containing the "confiscated materials" and rummaged through it, while Fred used his body to block him as much as possible.

Filch, who found nothing, turned around and returned to the office. He worried that if he left for too long, the office would be ruined by the twins.

Filch first looked around his office, but found no signs of damage, and the twins stood obediently where they were just now.He said, "You two come with me, and now we're going to see Professor McGonagall."

On the other hand, after Filch brought the twins into the office, Ada has been hiding nearby and eavesdropping, but there has been no movement in the office.

After a while, the elusive Mrs. Loris appeared in front of Ada again, but instead of continuing to "confront" Ada, she yelled directly at the office door.

After Filch hugged it into the door, Filch's sharp questioning came from the office, and Ada couldn't care about the twins anymore.She chose to slip away silently.

On the way back to the common room, Ada also deliberately went to the fourth floor to retrieve the evidence she left behind.

Ada, who returned to the common room, did not go to rest directly, but sat on the armchair by the fireplace, waiting for the twins to return.

Ada, who was taking a nap with her eyes closed, heard the sound of someone coming in after waiting for a while.Opening her eyes, Ada saw the twins walking in.

"Filch didn't give you too much trouble, did he?" Ada asked with concern.

The twin brothers looked solemn, and shook their heads at Ada with a wry smile, making her confused.

"I knew you were the one!" An angry female voice wafted above Ada's head.

It's Professor McGonagall!As soon as Ada looked up, she saw Professor McGonagall standing behind the twins with a serious face.

It turned out that when Professor McGonagall led the twins back, he let the Weasley brothers enter the lounge first.After they went in, Professor McGonagall came in, and as expected, Ada was caught by her.

"Professor McGonagall, listen to me... explain..." Ada felt that she was still saved, and wanted to try to struggle.

"Huh?" Professor McGonagall looked at her condescendingly, and Ada directly swallowed the lie she had made up in an instant.

Seeing that Ada didn't try to quibble, Professor McGonagall continued, "The three of you are really my role model for Gryffindor!"

Professor McGonagall was wearing pajamas and a cloak, but this attire did not affect her majesty at all.The three of them lowered their heads and stood side by side in front of Professor McGonagall, accepting her criticism honestly.

"I'm very angry! I didn't sleep at night and ran around in the corridor. Do you know what time it is? Do you know how dangerous it is!" Professor McGonagall could still feel her anger even though she lowered her voice. .

"You! Miss Drizzt, I thought your mind would be clearer, but what have you done? How did you promise me in the office!"

Ada also felt very embarrassed. Professor McGonagall hadn't called her "Miss Drizzt" for a long time, so one could imagine how angry Professor McGonagall was on this night.

Moreover, Ada was about to cry stupidly because of her self-inflicted behavior. She exchanged glances with her twin brother, and Fred and George did not "betray" her.

"Mr. Weasley, you have to pay for your dangerous behavior. Thirty points will be deducted from Gryffindor! Everyone!" Professor McGonagall announced the result of the punishment, and at this moment officially announced that Gryffindor had withdrawn from this school year College Cup competition.

"As for you, Miss Drizzt, although you were not caught by Filch, you are still responsible for your stupidity." Professor McGonagall paused, "Starting today, all your homework must be completed Double copies, no duplicate content. Remember, every subject!"

The three of Ada sat in the armchairs, and the scene was extremely quiet. Professor McGonagall had just left, leaving the three of them relatively speechless.

"We didn't expect you to be waiting in the common room." Fred said, Jiang was really old and hot.

Professor McGonagall put on a face that believed in the two of them when he was in the office, and when he returned to the lounge, he turned his face on him and dragged Ada out.

"We trust her so much in vain." George said in disbelief. Professor McGonagall's wave had put all three of them in.

"I'm stupid. If I go back to the dormitory, it won't happen. Even if I hide on the stairs of the dormitory, I might not be discovered." Ada summed up herself, looking for the reason from herself.

No matter how cunning a fox is, it can't beat the old hunter!How many years has Professor McGonagall lived? She only lived a few years in her two lifetimes combined. Compared with Professor McGonagall, Ada is not even a fox.

The lesson tonight made her realize two things: the first is that it’s okay to violate the school rules, but it can’t be discovered, and not being discovered means that she has not violated the school rules; the second is her own shortcomings, at least she can no longer be punished by Professor McGonagall That's the calculation.

Ever since she got the system, Ada always felt that she just had to stick to it, make it to the finals, and make a living.But now it seems that she needs to correct her mentality. In front of a group of old foxes, she is so tender that she can pinch water. She is still far behind, and she still has a lot to learn.

"George, take a look at what you found from Filch. This is the only joyful thing today." Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat dull, Fred hurriedly spoke out to ease it.

"Well, wait a minute." George reached into his pocket and took out a big treasure, "Ah, here it is!"

George produced a large square of parchment, which was very frayed and had nothing on it.

"Uh..." Fred was a little speechless. He glanced at his twin brother to make sure that George wasn't joking, and Fred continued, "What is this?"

"I don't know." George scratched his head and said embarrassingly, "but it's definitely in the drawer, maybe we just haven't discovered its magic yet..."

Ada also thought that George took it wrong, but now it seems that this parchment is the treasure that George took out from Filch.

That's it!That's it!That's it!Ada growled silently in her heart.
