"I can't believe that Fred and George actually escaped from Hogwarts!" Hermione said, waving the letter that had just arrived. "The two of them opened a joke shop in Diagon Alley, selling those dangerous things. Lady Weasley will be very sad!"
"Why should she be sad? The pranks they made are very interesting," Elaine said, reading the letter from Fred and George.
"It's not about whether it's interesting or not, but …" Hermione said, "The two of them should have graduated from Hogwarts before they came out to do what they wanted to do."
"Well, Hermione, there's no need for a diploma to prove anything. They've already done a great job!" Elwyn said. "Staying in school is just a waste of time for them, and there's no point in it. It's better to come out and do something valuable in advance."
Similar to his current situation, staying in school would not help them learn much useful knowledge. The main reason why Elwyn did not leave was because the secret of the treasure left behind by the four founders had not been solved. Fred and George did not have such concerns.
In short, the story of their flight to freedom had been repeated countless times, and it had become part of the legend of Hogwarts.
In this letter, the two of them described the details of the incident in detail.
It was said that they were going to cause trouble outside Umrich's office, which was the headquarters of the Special Task Force.
The whole of Hogwarts Castle was now full of traces of Fred and George's pranks, and only that place was tightly guarded.
Filch had calculated that Fred and George would definitely go there, so he and a group of Slytherin students had set up an ambush there in advance.
Needless to say, for the honor and dignity of the pranks, they unsurprisingly appeared at that place.
Even though they knew there was an ambush, they did not turn back.
Perhaps Fred and George had already planned to leave Hogwarts, and before they left, they wanted to make a big scene.
After a chase and struggle, they were caught, but they were not ready to be captured without putting up a fight.
Fred and George raised their wands high, and the fireworks they had prepared in the castle exploded at the same time.
Amidst the violent shaking and chaos, the two of them cast the Flying Spell in front of all the students in the school.
In the blink of an eye, the Star Taker that had been locked on the wall of Umrich's office flew in front of them.
Fred and George stepped onto the brooms and performed their flying skills amidst the fireworks and enthusiastic applause from the students.
In the end, the two of them quickly rushed out of the castle and flew into the beautiful afterglow of the sunset outside.
The most legendary part of the story was the conversation between Fred and Mischievous at the end.
"Send them to hell for us, Peeves."
It was certain that for centuries, Mischievous had never listened to a student's orders. But Mischievous suddenly waved his funnel-shaped hat and bowed to Fred and George, showing the highest respect to the twins.
Fred and George's departure was not the end of the Hogwarts' pranks, but the beginning of the climax.
The castle was a complete mess. A large number of students were competing fiercely for the position of Troublemaker King that had recently been vacated.
There were all kinds of prank traps and magical creatures everywhere. Dung bombs and stink bombs were thrown into the corridors one after another. Chanting a bubble spell to oneself after class had become a new trend among the students. Doing so could ensure that they were provided with fresh air.
But it also made them look weird, as if there was a goldfish bowl upside down on their heads.
Filch wandered around the corridor with his horsewhip in hand, eager to catch the troublemakers.
But the problem was that there were too many of them. He had no idea where to look.
The Ministry of Magic's Special Task Force and Slytherin's students wanted to help him, but strange things kept happening to them.
Curses, traps, and attacks against them emerged one after another. In the end, the members of the special forces didn't dare to leave the office alone, and the students of Slythrin didn't even dare to leave the common lounge. They were all scared stiff!
As for Mischievous, he seemed to have taken Fred's parting words to heart.
He shrieked with laughter, flew across the school, flipped over tables, and suddenly rushed out of the blackboard, toppling statues and vases.
Several times he had locked Madame Dolores up in a suit of armor, and when the furious caretaker had rescued her, she was still screaming her head off.
Mischievous smashed lanterns, extinguished candles, juggled the burning fires over the screaming students' heads, pushed neatly stacked parchments into the fire or out of the window, unplugged all the faucets in the bathroom, soaking the entire third floor, and threw a bag of tarantulas into the middle of the auditorium during breakfast.
The other professors of the school refused to help either. They turned a blind eye to what was happening.
With Umrich nowhere to be found, the Ministry of Magic and Foggy were now faced with a new problem and choice.
They wanted to send Auras to the Hogwarts to maintain order, but they were worried about the public's reaction.
But if they did not send Auras, all reform activities would come to a halt.
Whether they were willing to admit it or not, the Hogwarts was out of control, just like the current situation in the world of magic.
After leaving the Hogwarts, Fred and George did not go home. Instead, they flew to Diagon Alley to start running their own joke shop.
They had already rented the shop and helped Elwyn manage it.
As Hermione had expected, Lady Weasley was very sad and angry about Fred and George's actions.
She had always hoped that the two of them could work in the Ministry of Magic, or at the very least, finish their studies smoothly. But with Percy as an example and Elwyn, Hermione, and Elaine fleeing, she gradually accepted the matter and blamed all the mistakes on Foggy.
Things had reached a fever pitch, and Foggy and the Ministry of Magic were completely passive.
Under such circumstances, Elwyn, Hermione, and Elaine finally waited for Keresis and set off for Norway.
The castle of the vampire Slytherin family was located in the deepest part of the tundra, and Elwyn would never forget the first time he saw the castle.
Set off by the biting cold wind and a huge round moon, the behemoth stood on a steep cliff, like an eagle perched on a giant rock: tall, ancient, and perhaps glorious in the past, but desolate now.
Under the dim moonlight, the castle was silent, and the air exuded a mysterious aura.
In the distance, the sound of rustling pines could be faintly heard, occasionally mixed with the sorrowful cries of a beast.
In such a place, time and space seemed to have stopped, making one wonder if they were at the end of the world.
Along the steep cliff, Elwyn looked down. The empty valley was pitch-black and bottomless.
If one wanted to hide something like the body of an evil god, this was indeed the best place.
