Chapter 664

The Weasley brothers' fireworks incident is not really a big event. Although it was a little fun that caused Ron to walk around the forbidden forest, it was actually a riot of this degree.

The next morning, the gate of Hogwarts Castle did not open as usual, which made many students confused.

In the end, Professor McGonagall came down and opened the door himself - there was no way. Except that the gatekeeper filch had the door key in his hand, it was only on the wall of the principal's room. But when everyone wanted to find the derelict filch, they found that this guy didn't know where to go at night, and no one found him for a while.

Without a janitor, the school will naturally operate as usual. At the instigation of Professor McGonagall, breakfast was normally placed in the auditorium, so that the students began to eat as usual. As for finding filch, of course, it is all left to the professors to do.

Fortunately, today is Sunday, and Hogwarts has enough manpower and spare power to find such a squib gatekeeper who somehow disappeared.

To tell the truth, it's still a little difficult to find someone in Hogwarts castle. Even if there are magic props such as "living point map", you may not be able to quickly find the one you need from the dense activity handwriting.

Of course, looking for someone has nothing to do with Maka. Recently, his task is to step up cooperation with the personnel of the International Federation of wizards and complete the final preparations for the event.

At this moment, Maka had just come from the side hall and planned to eat in the auditorium to fill her stomach, and then take advantage of this precious Sunday to go to the Ministry of magic.

He has heard about the fireworks incident and the missing doorman, but now Hogwarts is not dangerous, so he basically doesn't care about this little thing. At present, he is sitting at the teaching desk, picking up a fork to add food to his plate, and plans to soothe his empty stomach bag!

"... it seems that everyone has had a good time these days?" he stuffed half a roast sausage into his mouth and looked down at the four long college tables. "Fred and George can really toss around. They don't forget to make some trouble for the school after graduation."

Just as he chewed food in his mouth and looked at the peaceful scene in the auditorium at will, the door of the auditorium was suddenly opened. And then there was a man who looked like a dog... Well, I mean, the old man in suit walked in solemnly.

The old man had mottled black hair that obviously couldn't be dyed well, vaguely with some signs of baldness, but he smeared his head with hair oil that looked very poor. His shoulder length hair was pulled behind his head and tied up. At first glance, it looked like a model.

The style of the tuxedo on his body was very old, because he washed it too many times and even lost some color, but he still ironed and trimmed it meticulously. He couldn't even find a jumping thread on his body.

Only the bow tie on his collar was very strange. The gaudy dot printing and too large model completely destroyed the collocation that could barely be seen. At first glance, others thought it was a Muggle actor who was going to perform comedy on stage!

However, no matter how big the change in his dress, it could not change his appearance. Everyone in the auditorium recognized the real identity of the "old man" at one glance.

"... filch?"

When the other party was still looking inside the auditorium at the door and seemed to be looking for someone, I didn't know who took the lead in muttering, breaking the strange atmosphere of sudden silence. Then, the whole auditorium suddenly buzzed, and the little wizards scrambled to discuss this rare spectacle.

"What is the old man... Going to do?"

Even Maka is confused at the moment. Although he saw something wrong in Filch's eyes at a glance, he was confused about what caused the other party's change.

"Filch!"

At present, there were few professors on the teaching staff, because several were entrusted by Professor McGonagall and took the house elves to search the whole castle.

But now it seems that filch didn't stay in the castle, but went out all night. Otherwise, don't mention that the professors searched, even if they only let the elf walk around, they can quickly find the old man back.

"Where did you go last night? Hogwarts's duty to you is..." Professor McGonagall first called him and then wanted to ask on the spot, but soon she found that Filch's attention was not on her side. "Filch? What's the matter with you?"

Before Professor McGonagall could say this, he saw that filch seemed to have found a target and walked quickly to a position on the long table of Gryffindor. If you don't look at his strange dress, the pace alone is still reserved and calm.

This strange feeling made the little wizards stare at him to see what he wanted to do.

However, when filch walked steadily to the middle of the long table, he suddenly knelt down to a figure sitting next to him, and then pulled out a bright red flower from his sleeve.

"Oh... Beautiful miss Lavender brown, you are as charming as the rose on the north slope, which kept me awake all night yesterday... Oh! I think I have fallen deeply in love with you..." he sent the rose forward and shouted in his hoarse voice, "Excuse me, do I have the honor to invite you to take a walk in the flower sea on the north slope on this day when all flowers are in full bloom?"

"Wow -"

In terms of their instinct to join in the fun, the little lions will not be inferior to any other group of people. Just when Filch's emotional confession learned from nowhere completely frightened lavender, a burst of cheers like a landslide and tsunami burst out on Gryffindor's long table, which soon led the students of several other students.

To tell the truth, no one had expected that filch would make such an amazing play, which could not help boiling the whole auditorium.

Of course, Miss Lavender brown, one of the parties, was undoubtedly the most shocked at this time. Before filch appeared, she kept looking at Ron, as if wondering why her "little tricks" didn't work!

Yes, after she saw the ecstasy in Slughorn's Potion class that day, she immediately came up with the idea of this magical potion. In order to get it, she even went to Slughorn's office and stole it carefully.

But who knows, fate always likes to play tricks on those who take it for granted. Lavender Brown is one of the victims.

"... I'll have a look."

On the teaching bench, Maka said to Professor McGonagall, who also stared wide. Then she stood up and walked to the "advertising scene" that made people lose their chin.

"Make way, get out of the way, get out of the way -"

He pulled aside a group of little wizards, came to filch in everyone's sight, and patted him on the shoulder. Filch is still half kneeling in front of lavender, which means he won't get up if the other party doesn't agree.

"Filch? Hello -"

Maka took a few more shots. Seeing that he had no response to his actions, she simply waved her hand, controlled his clothes with the floating spell and lifted him up.

"No, let me go... Let me go! I'll invite the beautiful Miss Brown for a walk. I'll give her the most romantic proposal in the ocean of flowers! I -"

"You'd better be quiet first!"

Maka shook her hand in front of him, immediately made him droop his eyelids, and the previous hoarse struggle calmed down. After Maka checked him a little, she removed the floating spell and made him collapse on the ground.

"Fan..." Maka was about to say the source of Filch's symptoms, but after glancing at lavender, she stopped. "Go back and eat! There's nothing to see - Miss Brown, go to my office after breakfast."

It's no big deal like the previous fireworks incident, but a student charmed an old squib with ecstasy. It's not suitable to talk about it everywhere at the moment. The alchemy event is about to begin, and all bad effects should be paid attention to at all times.

Therefore, even if Lavender was asked to see him later, he said it quite quietly. Only lavender and Hermione sitting next to him heard it.

Soon, after Maka left the auditorium with half unconscious filch and went straight to the school hospital, the farce finally settled down. Although many students in the auditorium speculated privately, it was obviously not so easy to find the real answer.

On the other hand, if you have to say anything, Alexander and Ernst are two of the initiators of the farce. Unfortunately, there are too many accidents here, so they don't know anything about it.

As far as they are concerned, Neville, who eats a piece of fudge chocolate, is the most important observation target. As for filch, who accidentally swallowed a whole box of ecstasy chocolate, what does that have to do with them?

Throughout the breakfast time, the two people's attention mostly stayed on Neville. They kept paying attention all the time and made the best preparations for their next attempt at Fuling chocolate.

Alexander confirmed the effect of the blessing agent last night. Neville's luck is absolutely unparalleled. Then, as long as there are no significant side effects after losing the effect, success is in sight.
