I'm waving my magic wand in Marvel

not moving?

Stella and Alice hurried over.

In the Marauder's Map, Filch never moved in the corridor on the first floor.

From the time he started using this map, Filch hardly stopped, and he was keen on catching students wandering around at night in various places.

Now he suddenly stopped moving, making the three of them look at each other in shock.

Alice thought of something and asked, "Did you hear any strange noises in the corridor just now?"

Lewis said impatiently: “I didn’t hear anything.”

Stella hesitated and said, “Are you talking about footsteps?”

"Yes, that's it!" Alice nodded hurriedly.

When Lewis heard that Stella said the same thing, he wondered: "What footsteps are you talking about? Why didn't I hear it?"

"You are looking at the map." Stella said solemnly, "I heard footsteps in the direction Mrs. Norris left."

"One step, two steps..." Stella's expression became heavier as she spoke.

Alice also said: "I heard the sound, just where Mrs. Norris's cry came from."

"It's like...the devil's pace."

The atmosphere became heavy.

Lewis' teeth chattered and he asked tremblingly: "Do you think Filch encountered that thing?"

Stella was thinking when she saw Alice covering her mouth and exclaiming.

This frightened Lewis so much that he shook the map in his hand and fell to the ground.

"What's wrong?" Stella asked hurriedly.

Then Alice said in horror: "Mrs. Norris's name is not on it!"

When they went to the kitchen just now, Mrs. Norris's name came up.

Not anymore.

Thinking of Mrs. Norris running into the darkness just now, they had a bad feeling.

"Mrs. Norris..." Stella spoke with difficulty.

"Isn't it dead?" Lewis also thought of this possibility.

He laughed dryly and said, "Stop joking, how can there be danger in Hogwarts?"

Alice said faintly, "Devil in the night."

Lewis’s laughter stopped abruptly.

The Three Legends of Hogwarts.

The devil in the night, the golden thief, the Witch King's treasure.

They have met the golden thief.

"I don't know when this legend spread in Slytherin."

The golden thief comes from Hufflepuff, the devil of the night, but from Slytherin.

Alice talked about this legend spread in Slytherin.

As if to heighten the terror, pale lightning flashed outside.

The rumble of thunder sounded a second later.

"The little wizard who wanders at night will be captured by the night devil, and his cries are the accompaniment, playing the accompaniment to hell."

"The Night Stalker will lock him in a room with a crooked neck tree outside, and no one will remember him again."

"He would die alone, enduring hunger and pain. The Night Devil asked him to write a thirteen-inch confession as his own medal, and hang it in a windowless house full of parchment."

Hearing this, Lewis couldn’t stand it anymore.

Stella swallowed too, his nervous palms sweating.

Alice also fell silent. She also questioned this legend.

But the legend has appeared, just like the golden thief, there is no doubt.

After a long time, Stella asked: "Is there any way to avoid the Night Stalker?"

Lewis also seems to have grasped at straws.

He had never hoped so much to hear the good news in Alice's sharp teeth.

But Alice slowly shook her head and said, "Lewis, did you look at the map when we were hiding?"

Lewis rarely refuted, and nodded hurriedly.

"I looked at the map and made sure no one came here."

"Then did you see anyone in that corridor?"

Lewis opened his mouth and recalled it carefully.

His face became even paler, "I, I saw no one."

The Marauder's Map would show footprints, and he distinctly remembered that there was no one in the corridor.

When both men heard footsteps coming from there.

That is to say...

"I studied this map," Stella said. "It can show the lives of Hogwarts now, even Mrs. Norris."

no life.

Dead people have no names.

Lewis covered his head and regretted: "Why do we come here."

He is so sorry.

I shouldn't have been so impulsive in the first place.

The result now is that the entire Hogwarts has become an extremely dangerous place.

They didn't know when the legendary night devil would appear nearby.

The map cannot show the other party's name, which means that their biggest helper on this night trip cannot be observed.

Without this, they are equivalent to losing their eyes.

"No!" Stella had a flash of inspiration, "If it would take away night walkers, then why are Filch and the professors okay?"

As soon as these words came out, the mood of the depressed team cheered up.

Lewis said in surprise: "Yes, Filch has been swimming at night for so long, how can he be okay?"

"It's possible..." Alice poured cold water on him, "He is not a wizard."

The two boys who thought they saw their savior were stunned.

Yes, Filch is a squib, not a wizard.

"Where's the professor, aren't they okay?" Lewis refused to give up.

Alice rolled her eyes at him and said sarcastically: "The professor is not young."

Little wizard, this is the important condition.

But why did Filch get into trouble again?

Obviously before this, he had not been captured by the Night Demon.

The many mysteries are confusing.

After careful consideration, Stella said, "We have two choices now, either wait here for dawn, or return to the dormitory."

"How do you choose?"

"wait!"

"go back!"

Alice and Lewis stared at each other.

Alice said angrily: "I said wait!"

Lewis said loudly: "Are you waiting to die here? It's safest to go back!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Stella hurriedly stopped it.

He glanced at Alice strangely, and saw that Alice's face was paler than usual.

He suddenly realized that Alice was afraid of going back alone.

Stella and Lewis were in the same dormitory, so of course they had to go together.

But the entrance to Slytherin is through the first floor. They don't know if the Night Stalker is still there?

"Hey, Filch moved!"

Lewis shouted excitedly.

They looked and Filch began to move.

This is a good thing.

It means Filch is not dead.

It also made the three people who felt guilty on the night relieved.

But although Filch could move, Mrs. Norris was still not there.

"The direction he moved was... upstairs?!" Lewis felt a toothache when he saw Filch going upstairs.

It's over now. If the way back is blocked, they really won't be able to go back.

Stella no longer hesitated and said: "Send Alice back to Slytherin first."

He looked seriously into Alice's eyes and said, "We will send you back safely."

Alice looked away uncomfortably, a blush forming on her cheeks.

Unfortunately, Stella had already turned her head and said to Lewis: "The map shows a shortcut, we can go there."

The three of them set off immediately.

They walked towards the fourth floor.

Because the invisibility cloak was not big, the three of them were very close, with Alice behind Stella and Stella behind Lewis.

As they walked, Lewis whispered: “Did you hear footsteps?”

footsteps?

They listened carefully, the footsteps getting closer.

Lewis's voice trembled, "There is no one on the map."

Chill penetrated from the collar to the back.

The bodies of the three were cold.

What a coincidence that we met right away?

Stella pushed Lewis and asked him to move quickly.

The three of them quickened their pace, gradually changing from walking to running, and finally ran in a hurry.

The footsteps seemed to have not left yet. They panicked and ran down the stairs in one direction.

They didn't bother to look at the map as they ran, so by the time they knew it, they were already on the fourth floor.

This is the place least visited.

Because there are no important classrooms here.

They ran to the very back, where there were two doors.

"Gatekeeper?" Lewis saw the name of a door and wondered, "When did Hogwarts have this person?"

"No matter what, go in and hide for a while."

Lewis went to push the door, and saw that the door was solid and showed no intention of opening.

"This is locked."

"Try another one!"

Stella urged.

Lewis went to push another door.

When he first touched it, his body froze.

...

After observing Stephens' physical condition for a while in Hufflepuff's dormitory, John met Mrs. Norris.

Mrs. Norris ran over enthusiastically and rubbed John's calf.

John picked him up and Filch hurried over.

When he saw it was John, his body froze.

The lantern in his hand floated when it was about to break. John touched the cat hair on Mrs. Norris's neck with one hand and asked with a smile: "Maybe I should bring dried fish."

Filch, a person who has always been in the top three of the most hated list, has never been so emotional.

They chatted for a while until Filch remembered that he wanted to go on patrol to catch someone.

John raised his eyebrows and said, "It just so happens that I am the night watch professor today, maybe we will meet again."

"It was my pleasure, Professor Wick." Filch said with a bright smile on his face.

After they said their goodbyes, John walked upstairs.

He can see in the dark without the need to light a wand.

There is also the mood to chat with the characters in the portraits.

As he walked, he felt the magic power fluctuate, and when he looked carefully, he saw the sneaky trio wearing invisibility cloaks.

"Let me experience the feeling of a night hunt." John smiled.

Just as he was about to go over, he saw three people running as if they had seen ghosts and were being chased by ghosts.

John was confused, "What are they doing?"

Is my professor so scary?
