[HP] Being a problem student at Hogwarts

"Shut up," Ron whispered through gritted teeth, "Don't bring Filch here!"

Harry pulled out his wand and said, "Watch the door. I bet Malfoy wouldn't mind hiding behind the door and throwing jinxes at us."

"Then why don't you just wait outside the door?" Hermione asked impatiently, "That way you can also see if Filch is here."

"Yeah, it's also convenient for Filch to see us." Ron retorted.

"I know there is a Disillusionment Charm, which is similar to the invisibility effect, like a chameleon." Hermione said while looking at Tom.

"But I'm not magic enough to do this." Tom shrugged.

"Let's go together -" Hermione suggested.

"Ah, no, thank you. If something goes wrong, how can you explain it when you go to the hospital wing?" Tom pinched his throat and said softly, "'Ma'am, we just can't sleep at night, try out the new spell'?"

That just doesn't sound right. That is to say, they are young now. If they were older, the teacher might have to notify their parents.

"Let's do it the Muggle way." Tom took out a mirror from his pocket and leaned against the door to adjust its position.

"okay."

Harry looked at him in surprise, and Hermione exclaimed in annoyance, "Why didn't I think of that!"

Time passed by, and Neville couldn't help but doze off again while sitting on the ground.

"He's late. Maybe he's too scared to come." Ron whispered, rubbing his wrist. His hands were sore from holding the wand for so long.

At this moment, Hermione pointed at the mirror frantically and pushed Neville awake.

Everyone saw Filch's figure appearing in the mirror at the end of the corridor.

"Sniff around, my dear, where they might be hiding."

Hogwarts was so quiet at night that everyone heard Filch's voice clearly. Harry was frightened and gestured wildly for everyone to leave. Everyone walked quietly towards the door away from Filch. But they were afraid to go out because Mrs. Norris kept wandering in the corridor.

"They're right here," Filch muttered, walking into each room one by one to check. And Mrs. Norris was getting closer and closer to them.

Just when Ron couldn't help but want to run away, Tom quickly took out a bag of snacks from his pocket, tore it open, took out a dried cod, squatted down and handed it to Mrs. Norris.

"Good girl," he said in a breathy voice, "good girl, let us go once, okay?"

Mrs. Norris's eyes became rounder and brighter in the moonlight. She walked over lightly and looked at Tom coldly.

"They are probably hiding." Filch's voice sounded closer, as if he was in the next room.

"Good girl..." Tom called it breathlessly.

Mrs. Norris arched her back, then stood up on her hind legs, bared her teeth, and gave Tom a hard cat punch. While it was beating wildly, it lowered its voice and meowed almost breathlessly, as if scolding him.

Then it picked up the dried fish in its mouth, jumped briskly, and ran to the other side of the corridor, shouting in a long voice as it ran.

"Aha! My dear, have you found them, haven't you?" Filch cried ecstatically, rushing out of the next room and following Mrs. Norris' footsteps as she ran away.

"Good guy." Ron watched with straight eyes as Mrs. Norris lured Filch away, "You provoked Snape, and Snape helped you cut medicinal materials; you provoked Professor McGonagall, and McGonagall The professor also praised you for your studiousness; you provoked Mrs. Huo Qi, and Mrs. Huo Qi came to have dinner with you... You don't even let the cat go now."

"Snape - Professor!" Hermione said emphatically.

"Focus on the important point." Harry said, "Are you leaving or not?"

They emerged from the trophy room as quietly as possible. Not knowing when Filch would return, they decided to return to Gryffindor Castle as quickly as possible.

The way back went very smoothly. When we walked in, the fat lady was already back.

"Ha, freshmen!" she said mockingly, "Night travel is a Gryffindor tradition, but I hope you will come back early next time so as not to disturb a lady's beauty sleep."

"Okay, okay," Harry answered her tiredly, "The password is pig's nose, get out of the way." He crawled in through the hole and slumped on the sofa not wanting to speak.

Physical fatigue is secondary, mainly mental.

"Malfoy lied to you," Hermione said to Harry, "Do you understand now? He didn't intend to go there to meet you at all - Filch came straight over with such a clear purpose, it must be Malfoy Fu broke the news to him.”

Harry knew she was right, but he didn't want to say anything.

"We have to go to bed." Ron said stiffly, holding Neville with one hand and Harry with the other, and walked up the spiral staircase.

Hermione stared at them until their backs completely disappeared, and then she immediately said impatiently: "Let's go! It's still early, we can go to the library to have a look."

"We have classes tomorrow morning." Tom looked at his watch, "How about going tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" Hermione repeated, "It's the library you suggested to go to! If I don't go, I will definitely not be able to sleep tonight! Think about it, the house points we earned were not deducted in the adventure just now! That’s equivalent to making a profit. So what if I get caught if I go out again? It’s not a loss, just think of it as closing the position!”

The logic is awesome. Tom reluctantly followed her and crawled out of the hole again. Behind him, the Fat Lady yelled angrily: "You go in and out now, are you done yet?"
