Chapter 132 Filch lost his cat
Dinah's urging had an immediate impact on Gugu, but what followed was the rise of rumors in Hogwarts - about the Owl Knight.
It is said that if one takes a night walk in the castle, one will hear the haunting sound of bells and see shadows walking through the corridors.The shadow may be flying in the air, or it may be running on the ground - imagine the owl's running posture, is it as easy to identify as a comedian sprinting on stilts?
The key thing is the little person ringing the bell on the back of the owl. Those who know it are clearly that it is Dinah. Those who don't know make up nonsense and say that it is the advanced Peeves - although almost everyone applauded the disappearance of Peeves. , but there are also a few little wizards who will miss it.
What's more, Halloween is approaching, and there is a market for ghost stories. Short stories are just fun. After all, the people living in Hogwarts Castle are all wizards from fairy tales. Who would be afraid of ghosts?No one would care - until a week before Halloween, a horrifying news spread throughout the castle.
Mrs. Norris, Filch's cat, dies.
He died completely, was turned into stone, and then smashed into pieces. If Professor McGonagall hadn't discovered that the stone fragments in the corner had traces of magic, and called Professor Snape to identify them, no one would have discovered it.
Yes, the students hated the cat with gnashing teeth, but if they really wanted the students to kill it, no one could do it. The students were worried about this, not only because they were afraid of Filch, but also because they were afraid of the real murderer—— Who would want their classmates to be perverts who like to kill small animals?
But Filch really went crazy, and frantically began to look forward to old scores. He stubbornly believed that the real murderer was hidden among the students he had punished, and he killed Mrs. Norris just for revenge.The twins suffered a lot. The most unlucky time was when they were slapped on the palm with a board and locked up. Professor McGonagall went to fish them out. When asked, the twins said nonchalantly:
"Well...people always make mistakes. Filch is so pitiful. Let's let him vent his anger."
Professor McGonagall could only sigh, let the twins go, report Filch's condition to Dumbledore, and let Filch leave this sad place, right?Dumbledore did not agree. He believed that letting Filch leave was the cruelest punishment, and that Filch's fault was not worth it.
So Filch thought that he had received permission, and went through his book of names of people who had been punished. In addition to the twins who made mistakes and were caught when they just started school - they had just been retaliated against - there were also There are other students who make trivial mistakes.Looking at the Hufflepuff who used magic in the corridor, Filch felt that this person was a serious suspect. Looking at the Slytherin who brought prohibited items, Filch thought that this student was cruel and ruthless. Gryffindor students are destined to be troublemakers from the moment their sorting results are determined... It seems that everyone has a possibility.
Those who make small mistakes feel that they have been overly punished and are aggrieved and want revenge; those who make big mistakes are completely depraved and want revenge.Filch could find a good excuse for every student recorded in Eucalyptus, but he couldn't find any concrete evidence.
Another day, Filch was as usual with red eyes and stretched out his head. While patrolling against the flow of people in the corridor, he glanced at every student's face with the eyes of an old wolf who was about to starve to death, trying to look at each young face. I found clues in varying degrees of fear and disgust, and thought vindictively - this is interest, just be afraid.After being unable to sleep for many consecutive nights, fatigue became a weight-bearing weight on his obsession. While dragging Filch into the abyss, it also constantly reminded him not to forget hatred - it is hatred. Filch hated the murderer to his core. .
The students have a long memory and know that this is an important moment. Wherever Filch goes, they will consciously make room for him. Filch is also satisfied with this kind of treatment. While grieving for Mrs. Norris, he will also think about it. ——It’s past time to deal with these brats like this.
No loud noises can be made in the corridors, and students are not allowed to bring anything except clothes and books. Filch recited the rules he issued silently, and looked for faults in everyone - such as this little girl walking alone, who brought a A rag doll, she must have loved that doll as much as she loved Mrs. Norris.
But dolls are different from cats, and there is a risk of prohibited items. Although this female student has seen it many times, it is different this time. The doll may have been changed, maybe it is disguised... Filch thinks this reason is very good, He walked straight over, not thinking that this was a nitpick. In fact, he understood what kind of psychology it was.
"Hand it over!" Filch stood in front of Hermione and demanded impartially in a hollow tone: "Check! This is... a prohibited item."
Hermione looked a little surprised. She used her peripheral vision to look around at the little wizards who were avoiding her, and asked in disbelief: "Mr. Filch, are you talking to me?"
"Or am I talking to the ashes on the ground?" Filch shouted rudely: "That's you!"
"I didn't bring any prohibited items." Hermione felt confused.
"Rag doll," Filch stubbornly stretched out his hand to snatch it: "Hand it over!"
Her brief experience at the Ministry of Magic made Hermione hostile to anyone who wanted to snatch Dinah. She never wanted Dinah to passively leave her side.During the days when Dinah was with her, Hermione would place the doll neatly next to her pillow before going to bed every day, and then she would sleep peacefully at night and have good dreams.I don’t know whether it is Dinah’s own characteristics that can play such a role, or whether it is because Dinah was given by a special person.
In short, I cannot let go this time or in the future.
Facing Filch's withered hand, Hermione quickly took a few steps back. She was rarely angered and stared at Filch without fear, like a female leopard protecting her cubs. He hugged Dinah tightly and warned: "What? Professor Dumbledore knew about this and he allowed it!"
"No matter! That has nothing to do with me!" Filch's messy eyebrows made his eyes angular, and he said arrogantly and fiercely: "If you don't cooperate, I will put you in solitary confinement!"
"Unreasonable!" Hermione angrily changed directions to avoid it.She could understand that Filch was in a bad mood right now, but she wouldn't sit back and let anyone suffer innocent harm.
In this case, Filch happily believed that he was doing justice, and he was prepared to use coercive means.
"Mr. Filch," a beautiful girl walked over quickly. She was obviously well-educated and couldn't stand this situation.Although his walking steps are a bit unsteady due to his age, and he has a chubby and naive attitude like a baby, he can already foresee his elegant gait in the future, and he smiles kindly and says: "Hello!"
