Hogwarts Castle is very dangerous in the early morning.
During this time, not only ghosts will come out to roam, but Filch is even more terrifying than them, will also patrol with a lantern.
Even more terrifying than that are the Old Bat that emerge from the Bat Cave.
Snape was dressed in all black, almost blending into the darkness.
He did not carry a lantern, nor did he use a wand Wand-Lighting Charm.
He was like the final boss of a nighttime adventure game, quietly waiting in the Great Hall for the students to begin their challenge.
The second floor of the castle.
"The Old Bat is determined to catch us."
Fred rubbed the Marauder's Map back and forth with his thumb, as if trying to erase the name that quietly sat in the Great Hall.
"He's shameless!" George glanced at the stairwell, then stepped back and patted his heart.
"How come the world has changed so much in just a few days?"
Hermione looked at Vincent, Blue Fatty pajamas.
"How was I supposed to know that the Black Swan group was going to use Polyjuice Potion?"
Cedric and Rolf were quite impressed by his audacity in using Magical Runes to "tease" Snape.
As expected of Gryffindor!
"We need bait." Vincent glanced down at his pajamas. "Only bats can defeat bats."
Hermione looked him up and down carefully from left to right. "Mr. Wayne, this isn't your Gotham City."
"Pfft—" The twins were amused.
Although Cedric and Rolf didn't say anything, they both couldn't help but chuckle and bow slightly.
"Give me some confidence." Vincent his wand lightly, changing into his bat suit. "I'm sure he can't outrun me."
The multi-functional belt, created using the Undetectable Extension Charm, contains dozens or even hundreds of smoke bombs.
Although he repeatedly denied it, none of the five believed that there were no blowpipes or Enfield inside.
Do you want a map?
Vincent tapped his forehead lightly through the bat helmet.
"Meet in the kitchen in one hour."
After he finished speaking, he lightly tapped his chest with his wand and disappeared before their eyes.
Hermione took the map and Invisibility Cloak that Fred handed her.
"Just to be safe, you'd better take this with you."
Several small, round objects were suddenly tossed into the air.
She caught it and took a closer look. "They might not be able to spot me."
There was no audio response.
"Is he getting into the zone?" George squatted at the top of the stairs, resting his chin on his hand and waiting.
Cedric sat down next to him. "Honestly, this comic is pretty funny."
"I heard their company is in North America." Rolf stepped forward, bent down, and placed his hands on Cedric's back.
"My great-aunt lives over there. I'll have her send the whole set of comics over to the Club Room sometime. I'm sure a lot of people will like it."
"Your great-aunt?" Hermione suddenly remembered the witch who had the opposite talent to Vincent.
"Queenie Kowalski was the first wizard in North America to marry Muggle Muggle."
Rolf looked longingly at the sight, saying, "Next summer, my whole family will go to visit them."
I really miss the bread my uncle baked himself; it was the best bread in the world!
"Wait—" Hermione's lips trembled slightly, "The History of Magic says he was friends with Mr. Scamander, then what about him?"
"He is already ninety-three years old."
Rolf gave her a reassuring look. "He's always been in good health. He just attended Nicolas Flamel's 665th birthday party last year."
Cedric and the twins were both speechless.
No wonder he believed Vincent's guess about the Sorcerer's Stone; it turns out the Scamander and Kowalski families were related.
"Please don't tell Vincent!"
"Why?"
Rolf smiled sheepishly. "I'm timid, and I don't want to live in constant fear."
This cunning and ruthless nature is probably his true face.
The first floor of the castle.
Vincent, who was invisible, stood in front of the Great Hall door.
It only contains Snape, the ultimate boss.
He looked at the three small round balls in his hand with some hesitation.
The black ones are smoke bombs, the red ones have chili peppers, and the white ones keep smoking when they come into contact with water.
Since it's a boss-level weapon, it's best to use all of them.
Two small black balls rolled in from the left and right sides from under the suddenly opened door.
Through the dim candlelight outside the door, you could see Snape, who had been half-closing his eyes, suddenly draw his wand.
He finally got what he had been waiting for.
As soon as the two "poof" sounds rang out, the billowing smoke all gathered on the ceiling.
"Wayne— " This low murmur, seemingly from hell, drew two more small red spheres.
Vincent, who was perched on top of the door, used inertia to enter the Great Hall.
A fleeting glint of light from the wand was revealed in his focused eyes.
After the massive Revealing Charm was cast, the entire space fell into silence and darkness once again.
"Thump—" That was the sound of the door hitting the wall.
Snape, a smirk playing on his lips, strode forward into the darkness.
"Clatter--
Da da—
"Da da da—"
Vincent, standing on the door, knew the other person was approaching.
He took out four small bottles from his multi-functional belt and drank them one by one without making a sound.
"Clang—"
Snape cast the Revealing Charm again at the spot where the glass had broken.
"Clang—"
He turned to the side and delivered another blow.
"I know you're here, come out now!"
His response was the sound of shattering glass, one on the left and one on the right.
"A little trick!"
The Great Hall returned to silence, with only the sound of slow footsteps echoing.
Snape reached out his hand as he stood in front of the door, feeling its usual weight.
He guessed it, but it was too late.
Vincent had already climbed onto the door frame and was crouching down on it, looking down at him.
Magic alone won't work, but with the help of enhancement potions, all physical abilities will be dramatically improved.
A small white sphere, after being enchanted with Disillusionment Charm, fell at the same time as a small black sphere.
The sound of a thud echoed at Snape's feet.
These ordinary wisps of smoke also rise to the ceiling.
His gaze was fixed on the door frame, and he thoughtfully raised his wand.
"This is your last chance, don't push me to get serious, Wayne!"
"Lumos Maxima— "
After the deep, hoarse voice, the entire Great Hall became brighter than daytime.
Snape was caught off guard and his eyes were dazzled.
But he was an experienced professor after all, and he quickly regained his normal vision.
"Aguamenti— " This sound came from the ground.
"Huh, water?"
The pale blue light emanating from the tip of his lowered wand was unique to Finite Incantatem.
"Pfft—" The water disappeared, but it had already accomplished its task.
Vincent stood before him, reaching out to grasp the wand that emitted a faint glow.
"Expelliarmus!"
Snape immediately clenched his fist.
This strength was far greater than his own; it was something an eleven-year-old wizard couldn't possess.
The smoke was spreading little by little, and the wand was slowly detaching itself.
He focused his attention on what was ahead, chanting, "Shield Charm— "
With a loud bang, the Shield Charm knocked something away.
"Homenum Revelio— "
With another Revealing Charm, Vincent's outermost Disillusionment Charm was finally removed.
He, too, became one with the darkness.
Obscured by the smoke, only the vague outline of a large bat could be seen.
