Chapter 51: Never mess with the librarian
Dumbledore nodded, not listening to Filch's hard "accusations".
He looked around, first inspecting the broken gate, then stepping in and checking for the lost potion.
After a moment, he said solemnly, "Who arrived at the scene first?" ”
Professor Tywin stepped forward and said, "It's me, Headmaster, but I didn't see the attacker, I ran fast. ”
Dumbledore squinted, his index finger tapped his middle finger, and after thinking for a few seconds, he smiled, "It seems that Hogwarts has produced some good students." ”
Professor McGonagall asked, "What should we do?" ”
Dumbledore said gently: "Locking down the common room of the academy, you should be able to find a lot of students who are traveling at night, it's so late, and still running around, it's too dangerous, deduct some points and warn."
As for Snape's medicine pantry...... I'll put it on lockdown for the time being, and I'll wait for Snape to come back. ”
At this time, in the corridor on the fifth floor, William and the others were still there.
"All the professors are alarmed, and we must rush back to their respective break rooms or be exposed." Charlie said with great experience.
"Then how do I go back? The professors are on the first floor, and the ghosts will join the patrol. Cedric wept with a sad face.
A few others, walking on the out-of-the-way street, might be able to rush back before the professor blocked the road.
But the Hufflepuff common room is on the first floor, and Cedric won't be caught when he goes down?
"How about trying the Transfiguration Charm?" Cho proposed.
"It's better to use the Transfiguration Charm in front of Professor Dumbledore, and you might as well just swagger down." Charlie replied.
William pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you make the Room of Requirement create three secret passages that lead directly to the common room?" ”
"William, you're a genius." Cedric put his arm around William's shoulder, eager to kiss him.
William pushed him away in disgust.
The four of them re-entered the Room of Requirement, and Lowe had woken up, tearing at the blanket Hagrid had made for him.
One of the dogheads, with its bony eyes, aimed at a large medieval wooden bed carved with a Gryffindor head.
This thing is great for grinding teeth!
William closed his eyes and said silently, "I need three secret passages leading to the common room!" ”
Sure enough, as William had thought, the Room of Requirement answered their request, and three passages appeared along the wall, leading to the Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor break rooms!
"See you tomorrow!" Several people walked to different passages.
Louwe saw Bobo Tea and wanted to follow it to the Ravenclaw Tower, but William kicked him back.
After a few people left, the secret passage disappeared, and before Professor Flitwick could reach the common room, William and Cho quickly walked towards their dormitory.
Indeed, as Charlie said, the professors came to the common room, began to roll call, and then searched.
Dumbledore stood at the window, looking at the moonlight, silent.
Professor McGonagall stood behind him and asked, "Professor, it wasn't the students who did it, did they?" ”
"Well, the student didn't have any chance of breaking through Snape's defenses, and he set up a lot of interesting magic."
Professor McGonagall worried, "Did someone break into Hogwarts?" ”
"There is some speculation, but the specifics are not clear." Dumbledore said gently, "Search carefully, those students are strictly forbidden to travel at night recently, it's too dangerous." ”
"yes, I see." McGonagall turned to leave.
The courtyards of the four faculties were very efficient, and it was not long before all the students who were on the night tour were pulled out.
Gryffindor was caught with three people, a couple of Ravenclaw and Slytherin, who were hiding in the woods on a date, and two Hufflepuff students were caught stealing a late-night snack in the kitchen.
The people who were caught this time ended up in a miserable situation, and on top of the 50 points deducted for each person, they had to go to Filch and be locked up for two weeks.
Not picking up the Weasley brothers disappointed Filch.
The next day, rumors spread throughout the school that Snape's drug pantry had been burglarized.
Everyone was very excited, and they were all speculating about who had done such an earth-shattering thing.
The common perception is that the Weasley brothers!
Snape had a grudge against Gryffindor, and the Weasley brothers were mortal enemies, which was well known.
A few days ago, the two also said that they would take advantage of Snape's absence to vandalize his office.
Now it wasn't the office that was destroyed, but Snape's most tense medicine pantry, so there was nothing wrong with that, right?
It's so problematic!
During this time, in order not to deduct points from Gryffindor, George and Fred have been honest for a long time.
They had even canceled the night tour, which was out of the way of low-level fun, let alone the night raid on Snape's drug storeroom.
The most important thing is that the room where Snape stores the big treasure is a place that a young wizard like them, who is only in the second year, can open?
Why do you throw any pot on their heads?
And why did Filch bite and smell them, is that a dog's nose?!
It's just a cool thing to say......
Sitting in a chair in the library, George angrily clutched a book and spoke ill of Filch, his voice so loud that it caught the attention of many young wizards.
William, Cedric, and Fred all turned sideways, trying to show that they didn't know George.
Sure enough, Mrs. Pince, with a feather duster in her hand, quietly appeared behind George.
She lifted George's ears and dragged him out!
William and the three glanced at each other with a wicked smile, then stood up, packed up the books and ink, and walked out.
Walking out of the library, Fred looked at George who had fallen to the ground and laughed, "Why don't you have a long memory!" ”
George rubbed his red ears, looking unhappy, he was just too excited, and he thought he was in the Gryffindor common room.
Lady Pins was a stern, conformist Hogwarts librarian.
She almost always stayed in the library, guarding the books she cherished while keeping an eye on the students who used them.
Madame Pins was very strict with students who violated Hogwarts rules, and she could not tolerate any violation of the rules.
Even Dumbledore was in the library, and he had to obey the management of Lady Pince.
William never dared to make Mrs. Pince angry.
The librarian can be provoked too, isn't this a big death?!

(PS1 second shift, Happy New Year's Day, there is a third shift in the afternoon, ask for recommendation votes.) )
(PS2, some readers may wonder, is it possible to conjure up a secret passage to other colleges in the Room of Requirement?)
The Room of Requirement is more powerful than you think, [Part 7, Chapter 29] Neville hides in the Room of Requirement, which starts with only one hammock, and as more and more D.A. members join in, it automatically expands.
When Neville is hungry, a passage to the pig's head bar automatically appears.
This room is really responsive. )
