The Six-Person Team Through the Trapdoor

You can't do that.

On the way back, Hermione kicked a stone and said this.

Professor Dumbledore forbade nighttime strolls from the very first day, and the Third Floor Corridor was also Restricted Section.

If they get caught, they'll lose points and might even be expelled from school. Didn't Fred and George receive those Howler today?

"Don't worry," William reassured her, "We've gone on nighttime outings so many times, and we've never been discovered."

That won't work either.

"... Just think about how many points you'd lose for Ravenclaw if you got caught."

"Isn't that perfect? Haven't you always said you wanted to help Gryffindor win back the House Cup?"

"But not this way!" Hermione said seriously. "Choo, you should also try to persuade them. You don't mean to go with them, do you?"

Qiu gave William a wink and smiled, "I'm definitely not going, and neither are you two, right?"

Cho's meaning was clear: deal with Hermione first, and then they would sneak off a few nights later.

But William didn't want to lie to Hermione. He said seriously, "We're definitely going. Professor Dumbledore said that at the opening banquet, which was a deliberate attempt to send the young wizard on an adventure."

He never does anything pointless... There must be something there. He's set up the stage, but if nobody goes to watch, isn't that incredibly boring?"

"William, if you insist on going, I'll write to Aunt Lyanna and she'll tell me to keep an eye on you and not let you wander off!" Hermione raised her pointed chin.

"Don't forget Gringotts ' dragons, and Tywin, the Death Eaters you captured... Hogwarts isn't safe..."

"There is no safest place in the Wizarding World than here."

"But the facts are right in front of me, I can't just watch you get into trouble. Please stay in your dorm, okay?" Hermione's voice was soft and gentle, like she was coaxing a child. "Sleep well in bed tonight. Going out in the middle of the night is never a good thing."

"That was Dumbledore's doing; there are no Death Eaters inside."

"Then I'll write to Aunt Lyanna!" Hermione's voice turned cold.

When the gentle approach didn't work, she decided to try a more forceful one.

"No, you won't tell."

"No, I will."

"No, you won't."

"No, I will."

Cedric conjured two small stools with his wand, and he and Cho each sat on one, watching William and Hermione repeating what they were doing.

Cedric, with a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, said helplessly, "How long are they going to keep repeating the same thing over and over again: 'I will, you won't'?"

Cedric was a little hungry, and before leaving, he might as well have some of Hagrid's herring-skinned chocolate cake... He had never tasted herring before.

"Who knows?" Qiu rested her chin on her hand, tilted her head, and gave a faint smile. "It's really nice."

"What's so great?" Cedric was momentarily stunned when he saw Cho's smile.

"It's nothing." Qiu gave him a look that said, "You're a straight man, you wouldn't understand."

"Autumn, are you going to join the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team?"

"Of course, I won't hold back. The Quidditch Cup belongs to Ravenclaw this year."

"I don't know either."

"Then please take care of me."

Please give me your guidance.

The two shook hands lightly, then continued watching William and Hermione's tedious argument.

What's even more boring is that the two of them were actually watching it with great interest...

It's 11 p. m. at night.

William donned his robes, picked up his wand, and Bobocha followed behind him. They passed through the rooms in the castle, descended the spiral staircase, and entered the Ravenclaw common room.

A few embers flickered in the fireplace. William sat there for a moment, and then Qiu tiptoed downstairs.

The two left the lounge and headed towards the sixth floor, where they would first meet up with the twin brothers.

"Go get Bobocha, it's all up to you now. Have fun," Qiu urged.

Bobocha glanced at William, the boy nodded, and it quickly ran off into another corridor.

Bobocha is going to find Mrs. Norris, or more accurately, to lure the cat away.

"It would be best to go clubbing on Dumbledore's bed late at night," William whispered.

Bobocha meowed in response.

After waiting around the corner for a while, the twin brothers arrived, followed by... Hermione.

Hermione seemed to find the robes too bulky, so she dressed entirely in black Muggle clothes, like a night outfit, and she also wore a pair of light running shoes, as if she was preparing to use her speed to get away if she was discovered.

As long as she's not the slowest runner, she definitely won't be the one who gets caught!

Despite her outfit, Hermione's anger was just as intense.

"I can't believe you actually came out for a night stroll, William," Hermione said, like an enraged lion. "I told you so much during the day..."

But I didn't agree.

"I almost wrote to Lyanna," Hermione threatened.

"You know what? I went to the library this afternoon and looked up Cerberus, oh my god! So cute?"

Are you sure you know what "cute" means?!

Hermione's hands trembled with anger.

"That's not a husky, nor an Alaskan Malamute, nor Bobocha; it's an extremely dangerous Magical Creatures."

Hermione pulled a thick book from her Undetectable Extension Charm pouch. She flipped smoothly to a page, pointed at the three-headed dog in the picture, and her eyes flashed with fear.

"You'll all be eaten up. I bet all of you wouldn't even be enough for one of its midnight snacks..."

Hermione held the book so high it almost poked William's eye.

William glanced at the illustration and chuckled, "This three-headed dog looks much uglier than Fluffy."

Fred nodded. "Indeed, Fluffy is more handsome."

"You..."

George said helplessly, "Miss, Fluffy isn't dangerous at all. We raised Fluffy!"

"That's right, although his mother is Hagrid," William said. "That might be hard for you to accept, both physically and mentally."

"Uh..." Hermione looked confused.

In the morning, she heard Hagrid say that he had lent his Cerberus to Dumbledore. Judging from Hagrid's tone, she initially thought the Cerberus wasn't that dangerous, but after checking back home, she discovered that it was indeed dangerous, so she decided to come and dissuade him that evening.

I just found out that Fluffy was raised by William and his friends?

What have these people been doing at school all day?!

"But you can't go out at night either..."

"Hermione, this is George and I'm going on our last night out. Let's consider it our farewell performance, okay?" Fred said sadly.

"What?"

"We're already preparing to send the map to Mom. From now on, I'll only be able to lie in my cold bed at night and won't be able to go out at night anymore." George squeezed out a drop of eye drops.

"This is our lifelong request!"

William laughed out loud. They had spent the afternoon studying and preparing to send Mrs. Weasley some fake maps, which actually showed the locations of the twin brothers' roommates.

Of course, Ron's map is real... he can't just wander around anymore.

If he tries to go out at night, Mrs. Weasley will definitely find out.

Hermione opened her mouth, a thoughtful expression on her face... If the twins were truly the last time, she might agree.

Anyway, it'll be the last time, a billion times.

"Let's go..." William said, "Cedric is waiting for us."
