The Pacifist Necromancer of Hogwarts

It’s too late to work overtime (Salted Fish.jpg)

Fortunately, the climax has been written. I wish you all to go to bed early and get up late orz

Here is a little bedtime story for everyone who is waiting for the update:

It was a very quiet night. The nocturnal students chose their paths carefully, so Filch's roar and patter of footsteps did not echo among the stone bricks of the ancient castle.

Anthony woke up from his sleep and reached out to feel his heartbeat. He could still feel his heart hammering against his chest, as steady as a clicking pendulum.

The cat squatted at the head of his bed, looking down at him worriedly, its long whiskers tickling his face. Anthony touched the side of his neck and found, as expected, several cat scratches that were slowly healing.

Thanks, he muttered, turning over to go back to sleep. But a gust of wind happened to blow in from the unclosed window, and the cat meowed and got into his cold quilt.

You have your own cat's nest... Anthony said, and the resentful mouse squeaked in protest from the distance, Okay.

The cat nuzzled his chin with satisfaction. Anthony drifted off to sleep again.

…

At the same time, Dumbledore was walking briskly in the moonlit corridor under the Disillusionment Curse. He keeps a jar of cockroach piles in his pocket, which he plans to use to replace the chocolate cream balls in the staff room.

He leisurely wondered who would be the first to notice the new password in the principal's office.

…

The answer is Filch - or Snape, depending on how you define discovery. Filch was the first to see the pile of cockroaches and shouted angrily. Snape, who was traveling with him, realized that this was just one of Dumbledore's not-so-funny jokes, like all of Dumbledore's jokes.

Professor McGonagall decided not to investigate why Snape and Filch would open the cupboard containing refreshments in the middle of the night. Even night patrol faculty and staff will be hungry.
