Chapter 51 The trap has been set, the ambush is over, just waiting for the students to come in!
What Filch was most worried about was that after the Christmas vacation, the student got tired of provoking the school. If he stopped, how could he catch him? This would become an unsolved case!
The little wizard who broke the school rules was allowed to go free, which Filch could not accept.
All evil will be brought to justice, this is Filch's creed. Therefore, little wizards who violate school rules must be severely punished.
He decided to fish for law enforcement and set a targeted trap for the student.
Before setting the trap, he analyzed the purpose of the little wizard: Did he often violate the curfew just to provoke the school, or was he forced to sneak out every night because he had something to do?
Different mentalities require different traps. To this end, Filch prepared an interesting plan to ensure that both mentalities can be taken care of at the same time. The trap is not complicated and is only divided into two parts. The first part is from Xiang Mai.
Professor Ge began to take leave.
"What? Argus, are you sick?" Professor McGonagall looked at Filch, whose eyes were swollen and his face was red, and said in surprise.
"Ahem... I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall, I, I, ahem... I seem to have caught a cold on Christmas... I have a headache now." Filch wiped his eyes with an onion and used a hot water bottle to apply heat to his cheek.
He pretended to cough twice.
"I...ahem, I'm afraid I can't do night patrol today..." Filch threw out the trap he had set, and took the opportunity to touch his nose with his pepper-stained sleeve: "Of course, when I recover,
I will definitely come back with double patrols, Ah Zhi!"
"My lord, Merlin, you shouldn't be thinking about night patrol now, you should go find Madam Pomfrey!" Although he usually doesn't think highly of Filch, when Filch got sick, Professor McGonagall still cared about him very much.
.
Her concerned eyes made Filch feel a little ashamed. This kind of deception betrayed Professor McGonagall's good intentions and squandered her kindness.
‘It’s all to catch that student!’ Filch tried hard to convince himself, abandoning the guilt in his heart.
This conversation took place in the auditorium and was overheard by countless young wizards. Soon word spread in the school: Gatekeeper Filch was ill and could not patrol the castle today.
To ordinary students, this is just an ordinary piece of gossip, but to those "careerists", this is breaking news.
Filch can't watch the night? Doesn't that mean that the night watchman at Hogwarts Castle will be very empty tonight? Can we take the opportunity to sneak out and have a good time? Students have a rebellious mentality, and sometimes the more expressly prohibited,
The more they want to go out and walk around, even though Hogwarts Castle in the dark is no different from that in the daytime. What they are pursuing may not be exploring the castle, but the excitement and stimulation that violates the rules.
Meaningful looks flashed across the eyes of several people, including the red-haired twins from Gryffindor House, and the mysterious person who repeatedly violated curfew and made Filch very angry.
She smoothed her black and thick hair, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: Tonight, continue to act!
Before walking out of the auditorium, Filch lowered his eyes and glanced at the students who were whispering to each other, and showed an imperceptible smile: the trap has been set, the ambush has been completed, just waiting for the students to come in!
Today, I will definitely "catch all" students who violate school rules!
The first day after the Christmas vacation passed quickly. The little wizards at Hogwarts didn't have much to do. The professors just put away their vacation homework and reviewed the knowledge before the vacation for the students.
As night fell, the castle returned to silence, but there were still some people taking action.
Filch, who was "recovering from a serious illness", took his cat and waited in the dark corridor for Lovell to appear.
He looked at the gargoyle at the door of Dumbledore's office and felt a little impatient.
"Will it come?" Filch was a little worried that Lovell would miss the date. After all, it was just a wolf, and there were too many unexpected factors: Dumbledore had something to look for it, it didn't want to come, it forgot to come...
Any one of these factors could ruin tonight's plans.
"Meow~ (I don't know, probably not)" Mrs. Norris didn't dare to guarantee it. Its binding force on Lovell was not that strong, so she could only hope that Lovell would keep his promise.
Fortunately, Lovell kept his word. When the agreed time came, the stone beast at the door of Dumbledore's office jumped aside and gave way to the passage inside.
A warm light shone on the floor of the Hogwarts corridor, Lovell slowly walked out of it, Filch and Mrs. Norris both showed happy expressions.
"Let's go and stay in the lounge first!" Filch wanted to ambush at the entrance of a college's common room to see if he could get lucky and catch the student directly.
However, Lovell did not move. Looking at the empty corridor, it suddenly thought of a question.
"Mr. Filch, what if that person resists after being caught and knocks us all unconscious?" Lovell had to consider the possibility of resisting after forcing the students into a corner.
If there really was a fight, although they had three combatants here, one was a squib, and the other two were animals that couldn't cast magic. There was a high chance that they wouldn't be able to defeat a senior wizard.
Hearing what Lovell said, Filch laughed: "Breaking curfew will result in demerit points and confinement at best. Those who repeatedly violate curfew will, at best, attack school employees, and that is the fault of being expelled!
The students at Hogwarts still know the difference between what is important and what is important."
Hogwarts graduates will most likely have a bright future. Not to mention government departments like the Ministry of Magic, which almost only recruit Hogwarts students, and even various companies in the UK tend to recruit them.
Underclassmen who know everything.
But if you are expelled, your future is very bleak. Not everyone is Grindelwald or Newt Scamander, and they can still thrive after being expelled. The lives of most expelled students are even
Even worse than Hagrid.
If Hagrid hadn't been kindly offered a job as a gamekeeper by Dumbledore, he would most likely have ended up going astray and becoming a Death Eater thug - he was still very capable of fighting at that size. Waiting for Voldemort
After his fall, he is likely to be imprisoned in Azkaban, and the chance of reforming his evil ways is very slim.
Not every big fat man can cleanse himself from the villain group and then work with the great magician.
