Chapter 155 Conspiracy and Preparation

Speaking of this, the smiles on Fred and George's faces disappeared all of a sudden.

Fred covered his face and said, "Let's not talk about this, we are still friends."

"Wood seems to have lent his brain to the troll." George shook his head and said faintly, "He actually thinks that our little brother Ron also has the Quidditch talent like Charlie, and wants to recruit him into the team."

"Merlin, let Ron be a seeker..." Fred seemed to think of something terrible, and shuddered all over and said, "If that's the case, we might as well surrender directly, so at least we don't have to make a fool of ourselves in front of everyone."

"Fortunately Professor McGonagall didn't agree."

"Harry Potter is more reliable than him."

...

Kyle looked at them thoughtfully... Could these two really have some prophetic talent?

"Let's not talk about this." Fred stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth and said vaguely, "We plan to explore the fourth floor. Do you want to join?"

Cedric frowned and said, "Are you talking about the room at the corner of the corridor on the fourth floor?"

Fred blinked.

"Besides that, is there any other place on the fourth floor worth exploring?"

"But..." Cedric hesitated, "Didn't Headmaster Dumbledore say that we are not allowed to go there?"

"Don't be silly. George shook his finger, as if he knew nothing.

"Only forbidden places are more worth exploring, just like no one would go to the Transfiguration classroom at night."

"The Potions classroom is a possibility."

"We went there in the first grade..."

"Throw two big dung eggs there..."

"Unfortunately, the smell disappeared the next day."

Kyle's eyes lit up, and he said thoughtfully: "It's a good idea to go to the Potions classroom at night."

"No, Kyle." Fred shook his head and said: "We have confirmed that there is nothing interesting there."

"The fourth floor is still better." George smiled and said: "Headmaster Dumbledore is simply great. He gave us such a great surprise on the first day of school."

"Have you thought about it, do you want to go with us? "Fred asked again.

"But..."

Cedric was still a little hesitant, "It's very dangerous there, aren't you afraid..."

"You don't know Dumbledore well enough."

Fred said seriously, "If it's really dangerous, he will never let us know."

"This..."

Seeing Cedric become hesitant, Fred and George looked at each other and continued:

"In fact, we have been there before the first day of school.

Fred lowered his voice and said, "There is only one door there, and there is not even a portrait."

"I think it is a test for us." George said very temptingly, "As long as you pass the test, you can add 100 points to your college."

"It may be better, get a special contribution award for the school!"

Cedric was a little moved, he felt that what the Weasley brothers said made sense.

Hagrid was guarding the Forbidden Forest and not letting the little wizards in, but there was nothing on the equally dangerous fourth floor... This is indeed a bit wrong.

"Okay... I'll join!" Cedric thought for a moment and added, "But I'm going to watch you, so you don't get into any big trouble."

"Is that so..." Fred said solemnly, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Diggory."

Then they looked at Kyle again.

"Don't look at me..." Kyle blinked, neither agreeing nor refusing, but asked directly, "When do you plan to go?"

"Any time is fine, but before that, there are two problems to be solved."

Fred said, "First, we tried it before, and the unlocking spell couldn't open the door... Kyle, I remember you have a master key, right?"

"Yeah." Kyle nodded.

The master key was sent with the invisibility cloak, but he never used it much.

"That should be fine."

George continued, "In this case, we only need to deal with Filch. He has been hanging around the fourth floor these past few nights. We have to find a way to divert him."

"How about diverting his attention?"

Cedric suggested, "For example, before going to the fourth floor, throw a few dung balls somewhere else."

"We thought so too... but it won't work."

Fred shook his head and said, "This will only allow us to enter the room on the fourth floor smoothly, but we can't get out."

"If Filch keeps guarding the door, and there is no other exit or secret passage in that room, we will be blocked inside."

"Filch can't stay there all night." Cedric was a little disapproving.

"He really will." Fred and George said in unison.

These past few nights, they have been using the Marauder's Map to observe Filch, but no matter when they look at it, the other party's position is on the fourth floor.

"Then how about asking other people for help?" Cedric continued, "Appoint a time, one hour or two hours is fine, and use the dung balls to lure Filch away again."

"Are you sure... they will be able to wake up by then?" Fred said faintly.

Cedric was stunned, he really couldn't be sure.

And think about it carefully. Even if that person can wake up and do what is agreed, it will be useless if they don't grasp the time well or are trapped by something and can't get out in time.

"Let's go to Zonko to have a look."

At this time, Kyle suddenly said: "There should be something there that can lure Filch away at any time."

"Haha, you think the same as us."

After dinner, Fred and George went to Hogsmeade through the secret passage.

When they came back, they had a book that everyone was familiar with.

"Dark Power: A Guide to Self-Defense"?

Cedric didn't understand why: "Why did you buy it?"

"This is not an ordinary book." Fred took them outside the castle, then took out a feather pen and said mysteriously: "Watch it."

With a click, the feather pen was broken by him.

At the same time, the book began to shake violently, and the pages inside flew everywhere, making a series of crackling explosions.

"Zonko's latest prank product."

Fred smiled and said, "It's specially designed for little wizards who don't want to go to class. It can be said that it coincides with our quick-acting skipping candy."

"With it, we can cause trouble for Filch at any time." George took out two identical books from his pocket.

"What's the controllable distance?" Kyle asked.

"It's not very far, but it's enough to lead Filch to another floor."
