Chapter 204 Too much brainstorming
“It actually… actually succeeded…”
Fred and George looked at each other, and they saw luck in each other's eyes.
They refused when Sirius proposed it at first, but soon they were ready to make a move.
Although skipping Professor McGonagall's office and attacking Dumbledore's office was not in line with the principle of gradual progress, after comparing them, the two quickly realized which one was the elite monster and which one was the boss room.
Then, the two happily used the Disguise Charm, an advanced spell they rarely mastered, to raid Dumbledore's office while Professor McGonagall was in class.
The purpose of the Marauder's Map was greater than they thought - to monitor Dumbledore's absence and to know the password of the stone beast guarding the principal's office. Especially the latter made them realize how outrageous this thing was.
The password for the principal's office theoretically changes frequently!
The two of them came to the office almost fearfully, and then they were startled by a wall of principals - a whole wall of portraits of people who could think and monitor!
But unexpectedly, the portraits just looked at them with interest and then ignored them.
And Dumbledore's phoenix lazily raised its head from the diary they were very familiar with, then lazily lowered its head, curiously looking at what they were planning to do.
As for the Sorting Hat, he simply asked enthusiastically - "Are you Gryffindor? Has anyone finally had the courage to attack the principal's office after all these years? What is the goal?"
"Is it me? And Gryffindor's dagger? Great, let's start a happy adventure?"
With such a simple response, they took out the school's most precious sorting items - it was almost like a joke.
There was not even a single person in the way of the whole process…
It went smoothly, as if it had been arranged, which was simply outrageous.
But there was no choice, the promise was more important, so the two of them had to quickly escape from Dumbledore's office with a trace of worry.
——
"I suspect that someone triggered some treasure... The principal's office was stolen, and almost no one stopped it. Not a single valuable thing was lost, and the sorting hat was taken away..."
Andrew stood with several Gryffindor prefects, complaining helplessly, "It sounds like a joke left over from the founding of the school. Maybe putting the hat on Peeves can trigger What’s the hidden plot…”
"Hidden plot?"
"Well," Andrew spread his hands, "I mean, Gryffindor leaves a special legacy to future generations."
Don't blame him for his wild thoughts - he set his sights on the Sorting Hat and was not stopped by the principals. The Sorting Hat left willingly. It was Gryffindor style at first glance!
"It makes sense. If that's the case, it's likely that someone found something from Peeves or the library - Merlin's socks. In this way, everyone in the four colleges will be suspected..."
The prank can basically target this hospital, but the treasure?
That’s what everyone loves.
"Thinking about the worst, maybe Peeves won't be able to take it off after putting on the Sorting Hat. In the future, Peeves will decide the sorting ceremony while sitting on the stool."
…
I'm afraid half of the students are going to Azka class...
"Then quickly keep an eye on Peeves, and then, um, go to the empty classroom to look for him. In short, the more inaccessible a place is, the better. Let's split up!"
After simply dividing floors and subcontracting areas, Andrew and several prefects started taking action.
——
"Underground...Fortunately, I am writing in the laboratory now, otherwise..."
Andrew shook his head and started running towards the ground - the freshmen didn't mind being joked about Azkaban, just because they were afraid of bragging!
Of course, Dumbledore’s side won’t brag about it, because it’s too much fun, so it’s better to wait and see, but on the student’s side, if it shouts, “Ah, I have one here. It’s a secret, don’t tell anyone else…”
Then it's over, he can go to the astronomy tower and take astronomy class tonight!
‘We must find it immediately and send the hat back directly. ’
Thinking of this, Andrew was almost full of motivation - he must find it today, and he would be worse off than a thief if it gets late!
——
"The sword is here. Once you put it on, you can summon it..." The Sorting Hat was in a very good mood today and happily talked to the twins.
Its charm has been fully affirmed - a patient and two students in the school hospital desperately wanted to get it!
“Is it that simple?”
"Of course, as long as you're not lying to me - a Gryffindor ghost in need of a Gryffindor dagger is pretty cool!"
He is a serious Gryffindor. Although he is impartial during the sorting process, he will definitely help his own people at this time.
"Well, Gryffindor's dagger appeared just when Gryffindor needed it most!"
"Shall I try?"
Sirius looked excited - although he only planned to be an investor at first, but with all the hats in front of him, he really couldn't convince himself not to wear it.
This is the Sorting Hat, something I wanted to steal when I was in school!
If Lupine hadn't become a prefect and had an agreement with Dumbledore, would he still have this hat?
"Ah, you can't, you don't need it that much..."
After Sirius put it on, the Sorting Hat quickly gave its verdict.
Even if it is such a wonderful prank, the first one who comes to mind is still Harry Potter - why is this summoning him, is he stabbed to death with a sword?
“I’ll do it!”
George picked up his hat cheerfully.
A minute later, the Sorting Hat's disgusted voice came.
"No, your will is not strong enough... You are actually thinking about Minerva's punishment..."
Who wouldn’t worry about this!
Although they usually act boldly, today is completely different from usual - they jumped directly to the principal's office!
The key is that they usually have a bad reputation, especially when there is a cold-faced Ripper who stares at them like a vulture.
The last entry in the diary was that the thing the old phoenix was stepping on put too much pressure on them.
That time, I just took something from Filch and was quickly targeted. This time, I did it from Dumbledore's office!
"I probably can't either..."
Fred grumbled and put the Sorting Hat on, and was quickly met with the same comment.
"What to do now?"
The three of them looked at each other - the most difficult task of going to Dumbledore's office was not that difficult, but they didn't consider that the stuck sword was so difficult.
Talk to Nick?
But how do you say this?
"that…"
Half a head appeared on the floor. Nick carefully probed his head and looked around for no one before floating to the side of Sanfen.
"Ah, I'm sorry," Nick's face was full of sincerity, "Well, actually I'm a little impatient..."
He was ashamed - as a ghost, he still wanted to see what happened after entrusting the twins to him, but the twins not only really begged Sirius, but also took a huge risk to steal the Sorting Hat from the principal's office.
"How about... let me try?"
Nick said with a bit of trepidation and extremely awkwardness.
