Chapter 18: Night Tour Strange Tales

Lind's roommates are all fifth-grade students, including Percy, a good student.

After returning to the dormitory, after washing up, everyone lay down on the four-poster bed. Linde put his shoes beside the bed, patted the wizard's robe, and transformed into his original pajamas. He didn't cover himself with a quilt, and just rested with his hands behind his head.

Percy was very guarded against this transfer student. While holding a tome and flipping through it, he did not forget to peek his head in to observe Lind.

"What's wrong, Percy?"

"What? No, it's nothing." Percy didn't expect Lind, who had his eyes closed, to suddenly ask.

"It's time for you to rest. Please put out the candles. It will disturb other roommates."

The candlelight beside Percy's bed was actually very weak, and it wouldn't be affected at all if it was a little further away.

"I'll study a little longer," he replied quietly.

Linde yawned, "Okay then. I'll go to the bathroom."

An alarm bell rang in Percy's heart, and he immediately put down the book, "I'll go with you."

"Do you want to go together? Are you a primary school girl?"

The two of them went into the bathroom. Percy's eyes blurred and he looked at Linde suspiciously. He felt that there seemed to be some changes in this roommate, but he couldn't tell what was going on.

"Long time no see." Linde suddenly said something inexplicable, and Percy was completely puzzled.

When the two turned back, Percy continued to boil the hawk. When midnight arrived, his eyelids fought and he fell asleep without knowing it.

Linde stood up and went out, and his body gradually disappeared without a trace. This was the "Disillusionment Curse".

Hogwarts Castle was extremely quiet at night, and no one noticed him, except for the oil painting on the door of the common room - the Fat Lady - who was dissatisfied with Lind disturbing her rest.

Lind was getting familiar with and reviewing everything about Hogwarts Castle. Just now, he went to the world of "The Elder Scrolls" and stayed there for nearly two months. His gains were extremely huge. He returned to World 1 again and planned to Take a good rest.

The first stop of his night tour is the hidden copy on the eighth floor of the castle, the Room of Response that must be mentioned in the fan.Linde went to visit it and had to admit that although this place is not as good as his library tower, it is still very connotative.When Linde was still living in the Leaky Cauldron, he imagined how to use the Room of Requirement to improve his strength after arriving at Hogwarts.

It's just that before coming here, he had already got a better one.

Linde vaguely remembered that Voldemort had a Horcrux hidden in the Room of Requirement, but he didn't plan to get it in advance. To him now, Voldemort was nothing worth mentioning, let alone a Horcrux, even in his heyday , can also be taken lightly.

After visiting the Room of Requirement, Lind was ready to clean out the library. The Restricted Area of ​​Hogwarts is famous and is a popular attraction that every time traveler must visit. He is now determined to collect books, and the library cannot let him go.

In this deep night, even the oil paintings on the walls of the castle have rested. Apart from the ghosts still floating around, Filch is left alone to battle wits with the nocturnal students.

Lind met the Weasley twins on the way. They were really habitual night-time criminals. They couldn't wait to run out on the first day of reporting for the new semester, but they had bad luck and were entangled by Peeves.

Peeves yelled, "Students are not sleeping, in the corridor! Students are not sleeping, in the corridor!" Putting his hand to his mouth, he blew a golden trumpet, and began toot.But the housekeeper, Filch, heard the charge, and rushed over with his pet cat.

Lind was very good at the Disguise Charm, so he watched the whole scene when the twins were caught by the dormitory. They were now going to be imprisoned in Filch's office, and they had to be taught a lesson by Professor McGonagall.

The twins were escorted by Filch dejectedly. At this moment, George saw a transparent figure looming in the moonlight leaked in from a window, and that shadow made an incomprehensible gesture towards him.

"Hiss, Fred."

"Ok?"

George blinked.

Filch in front turned his head suddenly, "What are you guys thinking? Don't try to escape!" He was holding the twins' wands in his hand, like holding two thin dry sticks, and he didn't cherish them at all. .

The twins suddenly looked dumbfounded and stared directly behind Filch.

"You're playing tricks. Is there someone behind me? I know. You're trying to sneak away when I turn my head. That's no way. I won't be fooled easily."

"Meow!" A harsh cat meowed.

Filch panicked, "What's the matter? Mrs. Norris?"

His Mrs. Norris, the skinny pet cat, was being held in the hands of a tall skeleton wearing a black linen cape.

The skeleton is holding a scythe, just like the Grim Reaper in the story. The ancient skull has been transformed into jade, giving off a luster like topaz, and there are two faint green fires beating at the end of the deep eye holes.

Filch's expression was wonderful, if the twins could see his face, they would be laughing like crazy by now!

The skeleton slowly opened and closed the mandible, and the faint sound was like the air passing through the gaps in the ribs, making a strange sound, vague and slight, with almost no meaningful morphemes and syllables.

But a voice sounded in the twins' ears: "Next, listen to me..."

The voice was the transfer student.

George mouthed "so cool". Fred's eyes lit up and he asked deliberately and tremblingly: "George, did you hear what Mr. Death was saying?"

"Well, it does say something."

Filch was trembling, and he wanted to pass out, but his cat was in the other's hands!I would rather die than let the cat be bullied!

"You guys, heard it talk, what did it say?"

George said carelessly: "Mr. Death says your cat is dying! Unless—"

"—Unless you trade it with something else."

"Take out your valuables quickly."

"Otherwise Mr. Death will leave."

Filch was very angry and doubtful, "Is this the God of Death? Isn't this a robber? Ah! Don't hurt Mrs. Norris, I'll give you everything! My lamp, my clothes, and the money I have on me."

The skeleton continued to make sounds.

George yelled: "It doesn't want it, it has to be replaced with something magical."

Fred also nodded, "Yes, Mr. Filch, why don't you give it our wand."

Filch had already taken off his pants halfway, and he had a strange look on his face when he heard this. He was a little angry, but also a little moved. "Are you really willing to exchange the wand for my Mrs. Norris? Well, you can take it."

The Grim Reaper took the two wands, then put the cat on the ground, and gently rubbed two wands with his skull claws. It seems that the Grim Reaper is also a cat lover.

After the skeleton floated away silently, Filch hugged Mrs. Norris and cried bitterly. The twins stepped forward to comfort her, "It's okay, it's okay."

"You go back. I will pretend that what happened tonight never happened. I will report it to Dumbledore. Your wand... should come back." Filch's face showed unprecedented tranquility. He hugged the cat, held the lantern, and left slowly.

"Filch looks pathetic."

George and Fred were amazed, and then both felt their pockets sink, and their wands were all in there.
