As the night deepened, Suning, who had just returned to the dormitory after dinner, could not help but frown.

At this time, only Suning was in the dormitory.

The other three little ones disappeared.

It was almost curfew, and if they didn't come back, the fat woman would not open the door for them.

"Suning!"

Say Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived

No, it’s one-third of Cao Cao.

William ran into the dormitory with a red face. When he saw Su Ning, he shouted:

"Suning, hurry up!"

Suning looked at William with a puzzled look.

William said breathlessly:

"George, Fred and I found a secret passage!"

Suning was stunned:

"Secret passage?"

"Yeah"

William's eyes lit up and he took something out from his arms. Suning looked closely and found it was a live map.

"When George, Fred and I came back this afternoon, we saw you reading a book so we didn't disturb you."

"We had nothing to do, so George suggested we take the Marauder's Map and walk around the castle."

"George said he and Fred discovered a secret passage in Hogwarts Castle during the first week of school!"

William pulled Suning's arm

"We walked and talked, George and Fred are still waiting for us!"

Seeing this, Suning had no choice but to follow suit. He couldn't just let them mess around.

Four little brats together are much safer than three little brats together

Besides, Suning himself has more than 20 years of experience, so his adaptability is much higher than that of the three small players.

As for asking them to come back quickly and not look for any secret passages...

This can only be described as wishful thinking.

Suning and William walked to the portrait of the fat woman. The fat woman looked at them in confusion, frowned and asked:

"Where are you going so late?"

Suning blinked, his mind worked quickly, and then he smiled and said to the Fat Lady:

"Ma'am, his homework was left in the classroom. Let's go get it now."

The fat woman's expression eased a little, but she still reminded him with some concern:

"Oh! Careless little wizard, go and come back quickly! Don't delay too long."

Suning nodded quickly and said:

"Okay ma'am, we'll be back as soon as possible."

The portrait of the fat woman was opened, Suning and William looked at each other and walked out immediately.

The portrait was closed, and the Fat Lady looked at the two little wizards' hurriedly leaving backs, with a smile on her lips, and murmured to herself:

"I don't even know a good reason..."

As the Gryffindor dormitory manager over the years, she has been familiar with the behavioral habits of these students.

Especially those energetic and curious little lions, who always like to sneak out at night to explore the so-called secrets of Hogwarts.

So every time this happened, they had to face the fat woman's questioning:

"What are you doing so late?"

Then, all kinds of strange reasons would come out of their mouths. Some said that their homework was left in the classroom; some said that they forgot to take their clothes; and some said that they lost an important item...

In short, there are all kinds of excuses.

However, the fat woman knew very well that these were just excuses for the children to go out at night.

But she also knows that this is the vitality and adventurous spirit that young people should have.

So, although she would deliberately embarrass them, she would eventually let them go. After all, who hasn't been young?

Oh, these are some cute little lions.

However, the Fat Lady had some reasons for "indulging" them like this.

One is that Hogwarts is extremely safe and nothing will go wrong.

Another person is that there are portraits everywhere in the castle, and if they see a little lion wandering at night, they will help take care of it.

Finally, let the little lions experience the loneliness of "sleeping on the street at night" and let them wander at night! They are not allowed to enter the door!

snort!

Once the novelty wears off for the little lions, they will no longer think about night swims.

Well, time is running out, it’s time to go visit friends.

The Fat Lady lifted up her skirt and turned away from the portrait without hesitation.

Once the Fat Lady left, the portrait seemed empty.

(Fat Lady: How presumptuous)

This also means that the Gryffindor "dormitory building" is closed.

The little lions who roam at night can’t return to their warm beds.

Suning and William walked side by side in the passage of the castle, and the torches on the wall brought them some light.

On the way, William continued:

"George and Fred discovered a passage behind the statue of Gregory the Flatterer that led to Hogsmeade!"

"But after being frightened by Peeves, they no longer wanted to go into the secret passage."

"And now..."

William took out the Marauder's Map again and tapped it with his wand:

“I solemnly swear that I will do no good.”

Ink spots appeared and spread in all directions. Soon, a live map with the internal structure of Hogwarts Castle appeared in front of the two.

William pointed to a small corner on the Marauder's Map

Suning looked closely and saw that it was a sculpture in a corridor.

"This afternoon, when we were wandering around with the Marauder's Map, we passed by the statue of Gregory the Flatterer. We were surprised to find that there was an extra line of small words on our location on the Marauder's Map: "Statue of Gregory the Flatterer (Leading to Hogsmeade Village)"!"

"When we left, the small words magically disappeared again."

"So we suspect that there are other secret passages in Hogwarts Castle!"

Suning played the supporting role:

"So, after an afternoon and evening, you found another secret passage?"

"Correct!"

William danced with excitement.

"Peeves is here! And Filch and his cat!"

Suning looked in the direction of William's finger. The ink spots marked with Filch and Mrs. Norris were on the first floor of Hogwarts, while the ink spot marked with Peeves was on the second floor.

"We have to hurry, George and Fred are waiting for us in the secret passage on the fourth floor!"

Looking at the dim corridor around him, William subconsciously lowered his voice.

Suning looked at William's habitual offender and his mouth twitched.

It turns out that his three roommates are all good at night outings.

With the help of the Marauder's Map, the two made it to the fourth floor safely.

To their surprise, they ran into two lion cubs who were also traveling at night.

With the help of the Marauder's Map, Suning and William hid behind the stone statue of the knight and were not discovered by them.
