Chapter 32
"Where are we going now?" Ron looked at William and Harry.
Harry didn't know where to go, so he also looked at William:"William, you have experience, we will listen to you."
"Well, I've only been at Hogwarts for less than a week, what experience can I have?"William waved his hand and said
"But you've been on a night tour before, so you're more experienced than the two of us."
After hearing what Ron said, William nodded. It was true, but he only wandered around the eighth floor a few times last time and didn't go anywhere else.
"All right, then I'll take you around and maybe we can find some secrets."
William hadn't thought of taking them to the Room of Requirement now. He hasn't found the Ravenclaw's Diadem yet, and he can't add any unknown risks.
When he finds it, he can take them treasure hunting, and then they'll have to thank William.
The three of them sneaked through the castle, occasionally sneaking into an abandoned classroom or some corners they had never been to.
Although they seemed to be wandering around aimlessly, they were actually playing a puzzle game to explore the Hogwarts Castle.
But if you walk too much at night, you'll eventually encounter ghosts.
William and the others encountered a ghost, Peeves.
When it happened, Ron was carefully opening a door, for fear of making the slightest sound.
As a result, there was indeed no sound when the door was opened, so much so that Peeves, who was drawing on the blackboard inside, didn't notice them.
But the bad thing was Harry's broken mouth.
When he saw Peeves, he actually exclaimed
"It's Peeves!"
When William heard this, he knew it was bad. He pulled Ron and quickly closed the classroom door.
Although he didn't know if he could stop Peeves for a second, there was no harm in trying. Maybe it would work.
""Run!"
William shouted, and ran forward.
Ron and Harry followed William's steps.
Peeves didn't see who they were, but he knew they must be the little wizards.
He raised his mouth and screamed happily.
"Let me see which little brat is still awake and wandering around in the middle of the night"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you are so naughty, so naughty, I will catch you."
Although Peeves was very fast, by the time he opened the door and came out, William and the other two had already disappeared.
That's right, Peeves opened the door and came out.
He is special, he has a physical body, unlike other ghosts in Hogwarts who can pass through walls.
When Peeves found that the little wizard had escaped, his eyes were shining with interest. Hide and seek, it was so fun.
Without thinking, Peeves flew to the nearest corner and began to chase William and the others.
While chasing, he shouted,"Little brat, run faster, I'm catching up with you, if I catch you, I'm going to have a good time!"
Harry and Ron panicked when they heard the sound of Peeves getting closer and closer from behind.
"William, what should I do?"
"It's okay, as long as Filch doesn't catch us."
"So why are we running?"
"Of course it was Peeves' voice that would attract Filch."
Before he finished speaking, the three heard Filch's voice coming from the corridor ahead.
It was like there was a wolf in front and a tiger behind!
"It's over! We're done for! We're about to die!" Ron said in despair.
"It's okay, let's run back and take the stairs." William quickly turned and ran towards the stairs.
"Come on, Ron." Harry grabbed Ron and ran after William.
As soon as the three of them ran up the stairs, Peeves chased them, but Filch was still quite far away from them.
"It turned out to be a first-grade brat. I finally caught him. Peeves said proudly.
"Ignore him, let's keep running, as long as we avoid Filch."
William and the other two ran straight past Peeves without paying any attention to him.
Peeves was furious at the three people's disregard.
He shouted at the top of his voice:"Students don't want to sleep! Students don't want to sleep! On the sixth floor stairs!"
Then he followed the three people while shouting.
""Shut up! Peeves!" Ron shouted fiercely.
But how could Peeves listen to him? Instead, he shouted even louder.
"William, what should we do now? Harry was also a little panicked.
William pondered for a moment and thought of a way.
"Don't panic, watch me."
William took out his wand and pointed it at Peeves.
""The tongue is locked!"
Peeves' voice suddenly stopped, and he grabbed his throat and choked.
At this time, his tongue was stuck to the upper palate, so he couldn't speak.
(Refer to the original book"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" Chapter 19: Pixie Tail.)
Perhaps thinking that William had the ability to target him, Peeves looked at him fiercely, turned around and disappeared.
Seeing Peeves disappear, Harry and Ron breathed a sigh of relief
"Cool! What kind of spell is this?" Ron asked in amazement.
"Will we learn it in the future? That will make it easier to deal with Peeves."Harry also asked
"This spell is called the Tongue-Locking Curse. I saw it in a book in the library. It should not be in the textbook."
William actually lied. He learned it from"Basic Spells".
This spell was invented by Professor Severus Snape and recorded in his"Advanced Potion Making" textbook.
It is also the textbook of the Half-Blood Prince in the original book.
Hearing William's answer, Ron and Harry were obviously disappointed.
At this moment, Filch's footsteps rang again, accompanied by his sticky voice.
"My dear, smell around, that's where Peeves' voice came from."
"Filch is coming, keep running!"
William whispered a warning, and took the lead to run down the stairs to the next floor.
Harry and Ron followed closely behind, not slowing down at all.
Filch may have heard their footsteps, and called Mrs. Norris to chase after them. Unfortunately
, when William and his friends reached the next floor, the stairs were moved away.
Helplessly, they could only run towards the corridor.
But something even more unfortunate happened. They ran to the end of the corridor, but there was a door blocking them, and the door was locked.
"We are really doomed now! If we are caught, Hogwarts will not expel us."
Ron had a sad face, and Harry also had a look of despair. He felt dizzy when he thought of Uncle Vernon looking at him with a mocking expression.
They heard Mrs. Norris's meow, getting closer and closer to them.
William looked at the lock on the door, and combined with the location on the fourth floor, he already knew what was inside.
Fluffy, the three-headed dog raised by Hagrid.
But he had confidence in himself, picked up his wand and knocked on the door lock, and whispered:"Open the door!"
The lock clicked, and the door suddenly opened.
The three of them immediately got in and quickly closed the door. Harry and Ron put their ears to the door, listening nervously to the movement outside.
William stared at the huge monster in front of him, which filled all the space from the ceiling to the floor.
William estimated that it was about four meters tall, with three ferocious dog heads and three big mouths drooling, which made people shudder.
It stood there motionless, staring at them with six eyes.
It might be because William and his friends suddenly broke in, which surprised it a little, but it was quickly coming to its senses.
The deafening roars forced Harry and Ron to pay attention to it.
And Harry's hand was on the door handle, which showed that between Filch and Fluffy, they chose Filch.
