"What are you going to do?"

As Lin Yu and his five friends formed a team, preparing to meet Draco for their duel, the Fat Lady, whose portrait was displayed in Gryffindor's dormitory, was awakened. She looked at the children, fully armed, with surprise and exclaimed, "Are you all going to fight?"

"It's a duel, Fat Lady. We're going to duel with the Slytherins," Ron said smugly, taking out his wand and placing it in front of him like a knight, though that was just his own perception.

The plump woman shook her head speechlessly and said, "I hope you don't get caught."

Then she left.

That's right, Madam Fat is missing. Where did she go visiting?

Now that's bad, even if they wanted to go back, they can't.

Neville followed Lin Yu, trembling, and whispered, "What will happen if we're found out?"

Lin Yu watched with amusement as Neville, despite being clearly worried and scared, resolutely refused to leave, and was about to offer him some comfort.

But Hermione said with ill intent, "We might have to take the train home tomorrow."

Neville was clearly startled.

Harry whispered, "Is it that serious? Let's hurry up and get out of here before we're discovered. We need to finish this quickly so we can come back. Hopefully, the Fat Madam will let us in."

Lin Yu looked at Hermione with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. Fortunately, there were some lights in the dimly lit corridor, so it wasn't completely dark.

Hermione was also looking at Lin Yu, her little face raised as if she was very proud.

Is it really okay to lower our morale before it even starts?

Urged on by Harry and Neville, the five of them tiptoed toward the prize display room in order to avoid being discovered.

The prize display room was on the fourth floor, but when Lin Yu and his group arrived there, they did not find Draco.

The group could only wait, feeling bored.

To kill time, they went to the crystal case displaying trophies, shields, medals, and statues.

Through the glass, you can see a list of famous people, recording what they did and their contributions to Hogwarts.

"Harry, look!" Ron seemed to have discovered something and called Harry's name in a surprised whisper.

The group looked at it together and saw that it was a Quidditch medal with the name "James Potter" written on it, along with a description of him as an excellent Gryffindor Seeker.

Harry was both excited and somewhat bewildered.

Because Harry doesn't know his parents, he has to rely on others or other sources to get information about them.

Lin Yu looked away and suddenly noticed another medal.

Because the name marked on it was 'Tom Marvolo Riddle'.

Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat. How could he not know that this was Voldemort's name?

Voldemort's real name was Tom Riddle. He changed his name, which is how the world came to know him as "I am Voldemort".

Moreover, Lin Yu saw from the medal that Voldemort's name appeared there because Hogwarts had committed a heinous murder many years ago.

Voldemort is listed here because he discovered and punished evildoers, and is considered to have made a special contribution to Hogwarts.

Lin Yu almost burst out laughing, because he already knew that this referred to the murder of Tao Jinniang.

This incident caused a huge uproar and was very serious at the time, almost leading to the closure of Hogwarts.

Is this why Voldemort was able to "go down in history"?

Lin Yu thought to himself, "Don't worry, you'll be erased soon."

Time had passed midnight before we knew it.

But Draco didn't show up until the sound of footsteps approached.

Lin Yu and the others looked in the direction of the sound, thinking that Draco was finally arriving.

But then the man spoke: “Smell around, my dear Loris, they might be hiding somewhere.”

"Oh no, it's Filch and his damned Mrs. Lorris," Ron immediately recognized that it was the caretaker Filch and his cat.

Filch was indeed very annoying, and even the freshmen who had just enrolled quickly grew to dislike him.

And his cat, an ordinary cat known as Mrs. Lorris.

The cat often patrols the corridor alone, and if you commit a foul in front of it, even if it's just a toe going out of bounds, it will run to Filch as fast as it can.

Then, less than two minutes later, Filch would come running over, panting and out of breath, to punish the students.

So many students wish they could kick it.

"What do we do now?" Hermione asked, somewhat flustered, and instinctively grabbed Lin Yu's hand.

Without thinking twice, Lin Yu grabbed Hermione's hand and whispered, "What are you thinking about? Run! Don't get caught, or we'll lose points."

That's right, they just weren't in the dorm at night. Even if they were caught, they would only lose some points or be put in solitary confinement. They wouldn't be expelled at all.

However, it's best to avoid getting caught if you can avoid it.

Since Filch came from the stairs, he was obviously on patrol or had come looking for him.

Left with no other choice, the five children ran in another direction.

They entered a corridor where many suits of armor were lined up on both sides.

"Ah!" Neville suddenly screamed. He was so nervous that he accidentally tripped over his right foot with his left and fell over.

Neville, however, waved his arms and grabbed Ron's waist.

Before Ron could react, the two of them crashed into an armored vehicle.

Immediately following was a series of clanging and banging sounds, loud enough to wake the entire castle.

Filch's voice came through: "Who's there? Don't run."

But the more he said that, the more the children would run away.

Harry quickly reached out and pulled Ron and Neville up, while Lin Yu grabbed Hermione's hand, and the five of them ran forward in a panic.

They ran so far that it felt like they were miles away from the prize display room, and finally they could no longer hear Filch's annoying footsteps.

"You've been tricked, you fools," Hermione gasped for breath, her words coming out in several syllables. "I told you not to come, but you insisted. This is a Malfoy trap; Filch is here to capture you."

All four children were panting heavily, but Lin Yu looked calm, as if he could run a few more rounds.

Lin Yu continued to hold Hermione's small hand with one hand, and patted her back with the other, gently comforting her, "Don't talk, catch your breath first."

I'm so annoying.

How could someone with the mind of an adult be fooled by a child?

Damn it, is this how you play the game, Draco Malfoy? I'll remember you.

System: So you see, if this task is issued, it's impossible to complete.

"Clang!"

Suddenly, a noise came from a door nearby.

Ron and Harry exchanged a glance, feeling their adventurous spirits surge through their brains.

They actually want to go and see? Curious about what might be inside?
