Hogwarts: The Book of Magic

Chapter 55 The Night Visit to Filch's Office
By the time they came out of Snape's office at night, Beaver and Kex were both covered in slime, which was disgusting.

Lean walked a long way, deliberately avoiding the two of them.

"Hey, Lean, why are you walking so far?" Beaver raised his hand and greeted Lean.

After hearing Beaver's words, Lean walked faster.

"Hahaha..." The hearty laughter of Beaver and Kes sounded from behind.

Rian came to the dormitory, washed up and lay down on the bed.

The soft bed can soothe every tired soul.

About eleven o'clock Lean sat up in bed and dressed quickly.

At this moment, everyone has fallen into sleep, and the entire Hogwarts is silent. Coupled with the ghosts floating around, it looks like a ghost castle.

Rin pushed open the door to the Slytherin lounge softly, and closed it quietly again.

Of course, if someone is around, they will definitely scream in fright.

Because Lean cast the disillusionment spell at this time.

Filch's office was on the first floor, not too far from the Slytherin lounge, so Lean planned to make a quick decision.

Although he was wearing the Disillusionment Curse, Lien still didn't dare to make too much noise.

The silence of the night is enough to make every slight sound clear and audible.

However, just as Lien went up the stairs to the first floor, a mess of footsteps came from above the stairs.

These were not Filch's steps.Lean made a judgment the moment he heard footsteps.

Lean decided to wait, it would be bad to go out now and bump into it.

About half a minute later, a figure leaped down the stairs and rushed out of the gate of Hogwarts.

"Is it true that Filch is deaf?" Lean couldn't help but say something.

"Who's there!" A bright light appeared with Filch's voice from a distance.

Lean quickly held his breath, not wanting to expose himself.

"Good boy, go smell it and find these little mice." Filch looked around, but he didn't see anything, so he said to the cat at his feet.

Mrs. Norris heard Filch's words, and leaned forward to smell it carefully.

I saw it first walked towards Lien, and then ran straight towards the gate of Hogwarts in a daze.

"Damn it, there are little wizards going out so late, don't you know it's dangerous outside at night?" Filch cursed, and ran out after Mrs. Norris.

Seeing Filch run out of Hogwarts, Lean breathed a sigh of relief.

Not caring what would happen to the little wizard, Lean went directly to Filch's office.

Filch's office was very dark, without a single window; an oil lamp hung from the ceiling, and the whole room smelled of grilled fish.

Lean guessed it was for Mrs. Norris.

Gently pushing the door open, Rean deftly avoided every trap.

Long before entering the door, Lean used the "trap detection" spell to find out all the small traps that Filch had set up.

Filch's desk was placed facing the door, and many wooden filing cabinets lined the surrounding walls, which contained detailed information on every student who had been punished at Hogwarts.Handcuffs, footcuffs and other things that were wiped clean hung on the wall.

Lean didn't care about this, he saw the drawer marked "Confiscated Items, Highly Dangerous" at a glance.

Open the drawer, there are some strange things inside.

A few bronze rings, dotted with crystals of different colors; a few pieces of parchment, with something written on them, but there is not much time now, and Lean stuffed it directly into his non-marking stretch bag without looking at it.

In addition, there are a few hand crossbows and matching crossbow arrows, a few small jars, and other strange things.

Lean didn't care about anything else, and took everything away.

After sweeping this drawer clean, Lean turned his attention to other drawers.

So Lean began to sweep through the drawers one by one.

Most of the drawers are materials, materials of past students.

The remaining drawers are full of confiscated props, some of which seem to have expired, exuding an indescribable smell.

But Lien didn't dislike it, he put everything in the bag, and planned to go back and choose slowly.

What surprised Lean the most was that there was a drawer dedicated to the Weasley brothers.

After everything was done, Lean put everything back in order and left Filch's office.

Lean walked carefully in the corridors of Hogwarts again. The portraits on both sides of the corridor were sleeping, and the ghosts didn't know where they went. The whole of Hogwarts seemed to be frozen at the moment.

Filch's office adjoined the foyer, next to the stairs leading to the basement.

Lean looked around, and after making sure there was no one there, he came out from the corner and planned to go to the basement.

At this time, there were many changes, the little wizard who had just left the gate of Hogwarts came back at a gallop, and brought Filch back with him by the way.

Lien was in a phantom state at this time, and the little wizard couldn't see Lien, so he bumped into him directly.

"Hey!" There was a crisp voice, which surprised Li En, who didn't expect it to be a little witch.

The little witch didn't care, and ran up the stairs directly, after all, Filch was still chasing after her.

Lien also quickly hid in the shadows again, after all, the Disillusionment Curse can still see a flaw if you look closely.

Of course, Filch knew that some little wizards used the Disillusionment Charm to come out, so he took a look at the shadow—not that he discovered it, but most of the little wizards who used the Disillusionment Charm to travel at night would hide there.

After just a glance, Filch quickly chased upstairs.

Compared to a little wizard who knows the illusion spell, the one who ran away just now is very difficult to catch.

Lean poked his head out after Filch walked for about 2 minutes, and then he heard footsteps coming from the gate.

There is no end!Ryan was a little annoyed.

This time it was a little wizard who came in. He walked with his head downcast, muttering "she doesn't love me anymore" and "waiting for an hour in vain".

Lien was speechless for a while, but he didn't intend to go out and explain.

After all, it's fate, it's destined.

Next, Lean returned to the dormitory smoothly.

After all, there could be another accident in such a short distance, so En really has to reflect on whether he has done anything wrong.

After returning to the dormitory, Lean took out all the things and sealed them with magic.

To be honest, Lean is also a little afraid that these things will suddenly explode while he is sleeping.

Don't know where Filch got the nerve to sleep next to these things.

　I just got home after the wedding banquet, so there should be nothing left today.

　　Let me take a break, the task of 30 words per day for [-] consecutive days is completed, take a day off.The donkeys in the production team are not as diligent as I am.
