Hogwarts Wandering Wizard

Chapter 164 Eric’s guess

Although Filch is the most disliked person among the students at Hogwarts, for the school, he is indeed one of the most responsible employees.Even with such a lively and sensational party tonight, he actually didn't attend. Instead, he still dutifully blocked the outside of the auditorium, fighting against Peeves who wanted to break into the auditorium to carry out pranks.

However, when the students saw Filch limping and running towards the podium, they did not give him any praise.

Filch trotted all the way to Dumbledore's side, leaned over and wanted to report something to the principal, but was interrupted by him raising his hand.

It was not until Dumbledore finished his speech with great interest and announced that tonight's dinner was officially over that he and Filch returned to the staff table.

Eric saw the professors coming together, but because the distance was too far, he could only see Professor McGonagall covering her mouth in surprise after hearing something, and then he was surrounded by Fred and the others. They were dragged into a queue, and led by several Gryffindor prefects, the team slowly moved towards the door.

"I'll bet two Sickles that Filch is definitely trying to tell someone the truth."

Jordan didn't know when he actually took a few pieces of pumpkin pie from the table. At this moment, he stuffed it into the hands of his three roommates. He bit down hard and complained: "I heard that the night Peeves was released, All the corridors from the fifth to seventh floors of Hogwarts were filled with dung eggs, and the stench drove Filch crazy."

Eric looked back and saw that the professors had finished listening to Filch's report and were walking through the crowd towards the door. Looking at the expressions on their faces, Eric slowly shook his head: "Probably not. , the professors’ faces were all solemn.”

Dumbledore didn't need to speak. Wherever he went, the students automatically separated and allowed the professors to pass quickly. They communicated in low voices while moving quickly. When Principal Dumbledore passed by the Gryffindor team, At that time, Eric's ears keenly captured the exchange between the principal and Professor McGonagall.

"...Unfortunately, Minerva, it looks like the situation is really bad, but I hope you can guard the school tonight to prevent those guys from taking the opportunity to break in..."

"...But, on Jokowi and Rostamer's side..."

The professors left quickly, and Eric couldn't hear the words behind them clearly, but from just these few words, he could already guess what was going on.

Jokowi's Joke Shop, Mrs. Rostamer's Three Broomsticks.

Something happened in Hogsmeade again?

"Hey! Guys, I just thought I heard the name Zuko."

Eric whispered to the three roommates beside him: "I can guarantee that something happened again in Hogsmeade."

While speaking, he opened the system light curtain, zoomed in on the map in the auditorium and foyer, and finally saw a group of green dots gathered in the foyer, and found the names of Jokowi and Rostammer among the complex name banners.

Fred raised his eyebrows in surprise. Thinking of the expressions on the professors' faces just now, he couldn't help but hold his hands: "Merlin's beard, don't let anything happen to Zuko's Joke Shop. We just started there the day before yesterday." He ordered a full ten galleons of magic items."

"Where did you get so much money?" Li Jordan looked at the twins suspiciously. These two guys bought a lot of these ridiculous things on weekdays. With their little pocket money, they couldn't even put together a galleung. That's right.

"Ahem, Eric lent it to us." Fred replied in an embarrassed whisper.

After Eric came home this time, Catherine considered that they would not be at home for the next few months, and after learning about Eric's request for money, she took out another five hundred gold galleons and gave it to him. With him, Eric's small treasury expanded a little again.

And Eric also bet all these gold coins on the odds opened by the Daily Prophet, all betting on Fudge becoming the Minister of Magic. Even his parents, Eric wrote a letter to them in the morning, analyzing Fudge gave all the reasons why he might be elected minister, and advised his mother Catherine to make a big bet.

Eric also revealed this matter of making a fortune to his three roommates. Although Lee Jordan's family was not wealthy, he did have a small amount of savings, so he deposited ten Galleons, but the Weasley twins... …

The two struggled for a long time, and finally asked Eric to borrow twenty galleons.

But now it seems that these two guys did not spend the money in the direction they promised.

"Okay, I'll let you get rich, and you'll just spend the money to buy dung eggs?"

Eric raised his fist and clenched it tightly in front of them, making a clicking sound: "Thank you for my kindness in giving you guidance."

"Don't worry, Eric, we actually staked ten. But what happened tonight, could it be that those monsters went to Hogsmeade again?" George Weasley dodged a man running behind him. The former senior prefect stabilized his balance by supporting Eric's shoulders. He awkwardly changed the subject and asked with a look of curiosity: "So, the principal and the others are going to support Hogg." Maude?"

Eric gave up the idea of ​​​​teaching them a lesson, nodded, and expanded the map in front of him. Seeing that there was no movement at the edge of the map, he whispered to them: "I guess so, and the principal also said to let Dean McGonagall and the others Do a good job of defense to prevent students from being attacked by surprise."

"Who will sneak up on us?...Oh, yes."

Li Jordan screamed in surprise, and then saw the surprised looks from the students around him, and hurriedly covered his mouth: "I almost forgot, we were attacked just a month ago."

Fred punched his shoulder angrily, and then lowered his voice and said to Eric: "So, tonight..."

The four people looked at each other, and it was not difficult to see the flash in their eyes. The four people smiled happily, and after nodding their heads twice at the same frequency as a count, they reported their thoughts together.

"We can go to Hogsmeade to see the situation." x2

"We can wander around the castle as we please."

"We can go to the kitchen and have some more fun."

The three Erics frowned and stared at Lee Jordan, who spoke last, with dark lines on their faces. Their faces were filled with expressions of hatred for steel, and they condemned in unison: "Is this all you pursue?"

"Why don't you come with us to Hogsmeade and see how safe Zuko's Joke Shop is."

Fred muttered.

"What do you want to do?"

Charlie Weasley's voice suddenly sounded behind them, and Percy followed him, using his stern and warning eyes to silently and strongly condemn the four people in front of him who were discussing "bad ideas."

Charlie's strong body approached the four of them, grabbed Fred and George by their collars, lifted them forward, and warned: "Professor McGonagall just told us that everyone must stay awake tonight." Stay in the dormitory honestly, no one is allowed to go out, even if the castle is bombed, you must stay inside."

Fred and George pulled their second brother's arms hard, and retorted with their little faces turning red: "You are talking nonsense. If the castle explodes, we should escape as soon as possible instead of waiting to die here."

Charlie threw the two of them behind the entrance of the Gryffindor lounge without any explanation, and grinned at the two people with angry faces: "If you are not convinced, you can go to Professor McGonagall, of course, you can also let me do it for you. Write a letter and send it to mom, after all, last time she asked me to keep an eye on you in school to prevent you from getting hurt again."

Eric and Li also climbed into the cave entrance. Looking at the prefects who were still guarding the door, they looked at each other and suppressed the thoughts of escape that arose in their hearts.

"Shet~Charlie actually imitated Percy badly."

George sighed with emotion, looked back and shook his head helplessly: "It seems like there is no chance tonight."

Eric shook his head, looked at Percy who spontaneously accompanied the prefects to guard the door, rubbed his chin a few times, and smiled mysteriously: "That's not entirely true!"

It can be seen that tonight's banquet was quite successful. All the students were still in high spirits, as if the banquet was not over yet. A senior in the fourth grade took out a radio from nowhere and took out another radio. There were a lot of snacks and desserts, and everyone cheered, and once again jumped up and down happily in the lounge to the singing of Celestina Warbeck.

Fred and George also stayed in the lounge because they knew Eric had a way to leave. However, looking at the students around them as if they were dancing around with demons, they also approached Eric's ears suspiciously and shouted loudly. He shouted, trying to overcome the noise of his classmates: "What method did you say to leave? We have been sitting here for almost half an hour."

"Yeah, for the first time I feel like I don't want to hear Warbeck's singing anymore." George also covered his ears and shouted loudly: "How about we go back to the dormitory first."

Eric listened to their complaints, shook his head, looked like he was in control, and replied with a smile: "Don't be impatient, we have to wait for a few more minutes."

Another five minutes passed. Eric calmly took a sip of the pumpkin juice handed over by Jimmy. After looking at the time on his pocket watch, he quickly wrote a sentence on the parchment in his hand and showed it to Jordan. Then the black guy nodded tacitly and made an OK gesture.

At this moment, the door to the Gryffindor common room was opened, and Professor McGonagall climbed in with the group of prefects guarding the door.

Seeing the cheerful expressions of the students in the lounge, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but frown.

But before she could take out her wand, Lee Jordan slipped through the crowd, wore his deformed black panther hood, jumped in front of Professor McGonagall, and shouted loudly: "Professor, Trickor Treat?"

Professor McGonagall didn't expect there to be such a program. After being stunned for a few seconds, she subconsciously slapped Lee Jordan's Black Panther head away.

Looking at the dazed Jordan under the hood, the professor quickly said sorry, and then carefully put him into Eric's hand. Then he took out his wand and let out a loud explosion in the lounge. All sounds.

"Buzz~"

There was a buzzing sound in everyone's ears, and Eric knew that this was the reason why the professor used earplugs to listen to the spell.

When everyone was quiet, Professor McGonagall waved her wand again, and the buzzing sound disappeared from everyone's ears.
