HP: I’m working on redemption at Hogwarts
Chapter 38 The mysterious rodent
"I solemnly swear that I have done nothing wrong!"
Fred raised his wand and tapped on the parchment. As the slogan was spoken, the blank parchment shook slightly, and then all the roads and routes of Hogwarts were drawn out of thin air starting from the middle. Authentic global map.
George and Qiu Zhang immediately gathered around and looked at the map carefully. They saw the footsteps with Filch's name written on them slowly approaching Qiu Zhang and the others from the blind corner on the right side of the third floor.
"No, it seems we have to change our route!"
George traced the original route on the Marauder's Map with his hand, and Filch was clearly on the road they must pass.
"Then where to go?"
Probably because he didn't have much experience in night outings, and the only time he was caught by Filch, Qiu Zhang's expression seemed a little nervous, and his body stood stiffly.
"Got it, here!"
George immediately found another convenient route, turned around and took Qiu Zhang and Fred to the bathroom on the second floor.
Fred may have noticed Qiu Zhang's nervousness, so he took the initiative to hold Qiu Zhang's hand and led Qiu Zhang to follow George.
Qiu Zhang took a deep breath and calmed down a lot, but he still carefully observed his surroundings, fearing that Filch wouldn't know where to get out.
"Qiu Zhang, I can't help but worry, the Marauder's Map has never been wrong, and Filch is on the third floor!"
Fred comforted Qiu Zhang with a carefree tone. Qiu Zhang thanked Fred for his comfort with a smile, then twisted his neck and tried to relax his tension to follow George closely.
"right here!"
George reached out and pulled up the bathroom faucet. The mirror on the wall next to him made a dull creaking sound, and then the mirror slowly moved away to reveal the secret passage inside.
"There is a place like this in Hogwarts?" Qiu Zhang exclaimed, looking at the secret passage with disbelief.
"There are so many places in Hogwarts that you didn't expect... I don't know who invented the Marauder's Map!"
Fred teased, showed a small proud smile, put his arms around Qiu Zhang's neck and entered the secret passage together.
As soon as he entered the dark passage, the mirror behind him closed automatically, and the surrounding environment suddenly became pitch black. Qiu Zhang subconsciously nervously grabbed someone's hand and squeezed it. Unexpectedly, the person also squeezed her tightly. Qiu Zhang's hand comforted him, allowing Qiu Zhang's fear caused by the darkness to gradually subside.
[It should be Fred, after all, he is closest to me...]
Qiu Zhang couldn't help but guess in his heart that he probably couldn't accept this completely dark environment, and neither of the two people next to him made any move. Qiu Zhang immediately took out his wand and blurted out a spell.
"Silver light flashes!"
With the use of Qiuzhang's Silver Light Spell, the extremely dim tunnel was instantly illuminated by the light from the wand. The two people next to him immediately realized and pulled out their wands to cast a spell to make the tunnel no longer dim.
"Thank you just now!"
Qiu Zhang tilted his head and thanked Fred, returning the hand that comforted him in the dark.
"Ah...oh, it's okay, it's a small matter!"
Fred didn't react at first, but suddenly realized that Qiu Zhang might be telling him that he had comforted Qiu Zhang in the corridor just now and didn't need to worry about Filch. So he immediately raised a smile, waved his hands and talked about small things.
Qiu Zhang was amused by his silly behavior, shook his head and continued walking forward without looking at him.
Behind the two of them, George just stared silently at the backs of Qiu Zhang and Fred chatting side by side. His brows furrowed imperceptibly. His emotions were inexplicable. He couldn't help curling his fingers and rubbing his palms, as if he could still feel Qiu Zhang's soft little hands. Yu Wen clenched his fists and didn't know what he was thinking.
"arrive!"
Fred reminded them, and the three of them put away their wands in a tacit agreement. The environment suddenly became dark again, and there was no sound around them.
Qiu Zhang and George Fred stood in front of a breathable stone window and carefully observed the scene in Quirrell's office through the gap.
"Qui Luo, good times wait for no one. You will know what is the right and wise choice!"
A hoarse and heavy voice sounded. Qiu Zhang cautiously leaned against the stone window and looked in. The owner of the voice was a rodent with black fur.
Professor Quirrell, on the other hand, had a look of fear on his face, stomping his feet back and forth as if he was very afraid of the rodent.
"Sorry! You are so great, but please allow me to think about it again..."
"Time waits for no one, Quirrell, this will be your greatest honor! Who!"
Halfway through his words, the rodent seemed to suddenly notice something and looked straight in Qiu Zhang's direction. Qiu Zhang immediately pulled George and Fred to lie down on the ground. For some reason, he was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat and trembling.
"There's nothing there, maybe just rats in the sewers..."
Across a stone wall, Quirrell's voice was weak and timid, silently explaining to the rodent.
However, Qiu Zhang could not stay for a moment. When the other side of the wall gradually became quiet, Qiu Zhang immediately stood up, pulled George and Fred and ran away.
"We're not lying, Qiu! He just has a talking animal!"
Qiu Zhang's eyes were dull and she didn't answer. George might have noticed something was wrong with Qiu Zhang, so he stepped forward and patted her shoulder gently with a worried look.
"Qiu, Qiu! Are you okay?"
"Ah uh... no, it's okay!"
Qiu Zhang didn't know what to say for a moment, he just raised his head stiffly and glanced at the Weasley twins in a daze.
"You said...what exactly is that?"
Qiu Zhang and George Fred looked at each other, and all three of them saw surprise and fear in each other's eyes. Although they did not think so much at first, from the moment they witnessed it, they knew that this was a secret that must not be told.
"Maybe we can tell..."
"No! We can't guarantee what that thing is or what Professor Quirrell's purpose is. Or who of us can be sure whether we escaped because we thought we were smart or whether they were keeping an eye on us until we did something unfavorable and were caught by him. Get rid of it!"
George and Fred nodded so solemnly for the first time. This night would become a secret that the three of them would never mention again.
-------Dividing line--------
"Why don't you listen to me and kill those troublesome guys!"
The rodent on the table was scratching the wooden table with its claws angrily, making a piercing sound.
"My great master! They are students of Hogwarts. If they disappear, your revenge plan will definitely go wrong..."
Professor Quirrell looked at the rodent with a flattering face.
"Then do you want to wait until they tell that old man Dumbledore and then directly declare my failure?"
The rodent became even angrier, gnashing its teeth and threatening Quirrell.
"No, no, no... Master, I have already written down who those people are, and I will definitely cast a forgetting spell on them before they have time to inform Dumbledore... Master, don't worry, no one can stop them. Your big plan!”
