00:00Welcome to the Dream Novel channel before starting to listen to the fun in this clip.
00:13Don't forget to like and comment. So that the admin will have the encouragement to continue
00:19making clips. Let's go listen. Channel Dream Novel. Chapter 66, Arda's explosion compared
00:27to the distracted Slytherins, the atmosphere on the Gryffindor side was much more cheerful,
00:32and their laughter grew even louder after watching Rosier storm out of the auditorium.
00:37George, is this the Nimbus 2000? After the Slytherins had all left, a boy with dark skin
00:44and long hair couldn't wait to get to the twins, urging, what are we waiting for? Show us.
00:50His words were immediately echoed by others. Yeah, open it up and show us.
00:56By Merlin's beard. This has to be the best broomstick ever. Even the professional teams
01:03probably don't have Nimbus 2000s. But despite the crowd's urging, Fred and George didn't seem in any
01:10hurry to open the package. George glanced sideways with a look of disgust and said,
01:15Hey, Lee Jordan, I'm Fred. Don't you recognize us yet? Sorry, Fred, can I see, no, I'm Fred.
01:24Next to him, the real Fred hooked an arm around George's shoulder and said,
01:29Seriously? You fell for such a simple trick. I'm starting to question whether you're really
01:35our best friend. Poor Lee Jordan looked completely lost. He stared at the two identical faces next to
01:42him, unable to find any difference between them. They were practically duplicates.
01:47Okay, Fred, George, I'm sorry, Lee Jordan sighed, shaking his head before taking a deep breath.
01:56Whoever you are, can I please just have a quick look at the Nimbus 2000?
02:00Please.
02:02Under normal circumstances, Lee would have pointed a finger in the twins' faces,
02:06mocking their silly sense of humor and throwing in some colorful slang to insult them.
02:10But this time, he didn't. He even apologized, bowing slightly. He really had no choice.
02:19As a massive Quidditch fan, the temptation of seeing a brand new broomstick, one not even released yet,
02:25was far too great. He wouldn't be able to sleep at night if he didn't get a glimpse.
02:31What Nimbus 2000? Fred gave him a puzzled look.
02:35I don't know what you're talking about. The broom we use is obviously the old Clean Sweep 5.
02:43I get it, you're trying to keep it secret, Lee Jordan said, glancing around before lowering his
02:48voice. But now that the Slytherins are gone, we're all on our own. It's fine, just a quick peek.
02:56Fred and George remained silent. Why don't we head back to the common room,
03:01someone suggested. It'll be safer to look there. You can't do this, objected some small witches
03:08and wizards from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. We want to see it too. But no one really paid
03:15attention to their protests. The Griffinders crowded around the twins and rushed out of
03:20the auditorium. However, when they reached the portrait of the fat lady, they realized Fred and
03:25George had disappeared. They must have snuck away while we were upstairs, Lee Jordan said,
03:31feeling deeply aggrieved. Can you believe it? They turned on their own people. By noon,
03:39the atmosphere at the Slytherin table was still heavy. All morning, they had scoured Hogwarts,
03:45but there wasn't a single trace of Fred or George. It was as if the two had vanished into thin air.
03:51Additionally, those who had sent letters home didn't have any luck either. Some of the more
03:57temperamental parents had even scolded them in their replies, telling them to focus on their
04:01studies and stop daydreaming about impractical things. Rosier was one of them. Nimbus 2000.
04:09I've got a Nimbus 2100 if you want it. He crumpled the letter in his hand into a ball and was about to
04:15toss it aside when he suddenly reconsidered, lowering his hand and angrily asking, still no news?
04:22The students around him exchanged glances, but no one spoke a word. Useless. Just as Rosier was
04:30about to flip over his plate in frustration, a Slytherin player came rushing over. Captain,
04:35I found something out. Marcus Flint grinned, revealing a row of large teeth.
04:41When I passed by the Quidditch pitch, I saw the Gryffindor team there. They must have been
04:47trying to secretly test the performance of their broomsticks while we were eating in the Great
04:51Hall. Rosier looked up. Sure enough, none of the Gryffindor team members were in the Great Hall.
04:58Captain, should we go take a look? Marcus asked cautiously. Let's go. Without hesitation,
05:06Rosier led the group towards the Quidditch pitch. As Marcus had said, the Gryffindor team was indeed
05:13there, but instead of training or testing their broomsticks, they were, fighting? More precisely,
05:19the Weasley twins were fighting each other, while the rest of the team struggled to break them apart.
05:25Seeing this, Marcus exclaimed in excitement, internal conflict in Gryffindor. With the match
05:31scheduled for the afternoon, internal discord among their rivals was great news for Slytherin.
05:36Rosier also noticed that the package delivered by Owl in the morning was placed near the passage.
05:42And there wasn't anyone around guarding it. A minute later, the Slytherins left the Quidditch pitch,
05:48huddled closely together, shielding someone in the center of their group. They didn't return to the
05:54Great Hall to continue eating, nor did they go back to their common room. Instead, they found an empty
06:00classroom and quickly slipped inside. Once the door was shut behind them, they spread out,
06:06revealing the person in the middle, Rosier, holding a long, slender package tightly in his arms.
06:12Captain, are you sure it's okay to hide here? Marcus asked nervously.
06:17I still think it's safer to put it in the common room. Before he could finish,
06:23Rosier silenced him with a sharp kick. He wasn't planning on stealing the broom for himself,
06:29he simply wanted to keep it hidden before the match to ensure Gryffindor couldn't use it.
06:34What sense would it make to store it in the common room, where anyone might accidentally spill the
06:38secret? If word got out that a Slytherin had swiped a broom, Professor Snape would never forgive him.
06:44Rosier scanned the room. The thick layer of dust on all the desks made it clear that the space hadn't
06:51been used in ages. This'll do, he said, nodding. Make sure you hide it well. But no one moved.
07:01The group just stood there, staring at the person holding the package. After an uncomfortable silence,
07:07someone finally spoke up. Why don't we open it and take a look? What if it's not even a broom inside?
07:14We'll have wasted our time. The others nodded in agreement. No, we can't open it, Rosier decided,
07:22snatching the package from the boy's hands and setting it aside. He knew Gryffindor's too well
07:28to fall for their tricks. If the rumor about the broomstick was fake, the package probably contained
07:34something unpleasant. It was safer to leave it untouched. Ho ho ho, clever boy, came a singsong
07:42voice from outside the window. The group turned to see Peeves, the mischievous poltergeist,
07:48floating just outside, his face twisted in a gleeful grin.
07:52Get lost, Peeves.
07:54Rosier snapped.
07:56Rude boy, you'll pay for that.
07:59Peeves sneered, his eyes narrowing.
08:02Without warning, he smashed the window and lobbed a balloon filled with some strange liquid into the room.
08:08The balloon didn't hit anyone, but landed perfectly on the package. For reasons unknown,
08:14whether it was the liquid or some other force, the package began to swell rapidly,
08:19like it was filling with air.
08:21I knew it, damn Peeves.
08:24Rosier cursed under his breath, already turning toward the door.
08:28But when he grabbed the handle, the door wouldn't budge.
08:31It was jammed shut, trapping them all inside.
08:36Desperate, Rosier pulled out his wand.
08:39Bombar, boom.
08:41Before he could cast his spell, the package erupted with a deafening explosion.
08:46A foul, noxious stench instantly filled the room, making everyone gag.
08:51The smell was so overwhelming that even Peeves, still hovering outside the shattered window,
08:57cackled as he drifted away, leaving the Slytherin stuck in the stinking mess.
09:02Channel Dream Novel
09:03Chapter 67, Snape's reaction since it was only halfway through lunch,
09:09many students were still in the great hall, chatting with friends and enjoying the delicious
09:13pork cutlets and roast potatoes.
09:15But suddenly, an overpowering stench began to waft in from outside.
09:20The young wizards sitting closest to the doors were the first to suffer,
09:24nearly gagging as the smell hit them.
09:26Some of them barely managed to avoid vomiting onto their plates.
09:31Ugh!
09:32Who threw a dung bomb in the corridor, a Gryffindor with a prefect badge yelled out,
09:37his voice carrying across the hall.
09:39His shout served as a warning for the others sitting deeper inside.
09:44Moments later, they too caught a whiff of the foul odor.
09:47The entire hall erupted into chaos.
09:51Students abandoned their meals and scrambled to leave the hall,
09:54rushing outside in a desperate bid for fresh air.
09:57But once they were outside, they realized the stench was even stronger.
10:02Still, there was no turning back now.
10:05Gritting their teeth, they hurried toward their respective common rooms,
10:09trying to escape the pervasive smell.
10:12Amid the confusion, Percy Weasley noticed something odd.
10:15His twin brothers, Fred and George, were conspicuously absent.
10:21Fred, George, it has to be you.
10:24Percy muttered to himself, convinced he had figured out who was behind the chaos.
10:29Determined, he pushed through the crowd and made his way toward the Gryffindor common room,
10:34fuming with anger.
10:36I must write to Mom.
10:38My dear brother, what are you planning to tell Mom?
10:41Percy stopped in his tracks.
10:44Rounding the corner in front of him were two identical figures, blocking his path.
10:49George chuckled, before you write that letter,
10:52can you tell us what exactly happened in the great hall?
10:55We were only gone for a moment, and now it's so, lively.
10:59Don't pretend like you don't know what you've done, Percy snapped, his face red with frustration.
11:05Throwing dumb bombs around the castle.
11:08You've affected nearly every student, and Gryffindor's sure to lose loads of points because of this.
11:14Wait, Percy, Fred interrupted, equally angry.
11:18Even if you are our favorite brother, you can't go around slandering us like that.
11:23Exactly, George added with a serious nod.
11:27We were at the Quidditch pitch the entire time.
11:30How could we have thrown dumb bombs in the castle?
11:32Don't try to make excuses, Percy began, but Fred cut him off.
11:38You can ask anyone, Percy.
11:41Every member of the Quidditch team can vouch for us, Fred insisted.
11:45George sighed, looking disappointed.
11:48Percy, I can't believe you'd slander your own brothers just to take credit for something we didn't do.
11:53I'll definitely be writing to mum about this, Fred added as they both turned to leave.
12:00Percy watched them walk away, doubt creeping into his mind.
12:04Had he been wrong?
12:06Could Fred and George really have been innocent?
12:08He scratched his head, anxiety building at the thought that they might tell on him to their mother.
12:15He wanted to catch up with them and apologize, but he couldn't muster the courage, so he just stood there, wringing his hands nervously.
12:22Meanwhile, Fred and George had barely contained their laughter until they were safely out of sight.
12:27Once they were sure Percy couldn't see them, they burst out laughing.
12:32Fred took a deep breath, savoring the memory.
12:36No wonder that special dumb bomb cost 20 galleons.
12:40The smell was absolutely unmatched.
12:43Actually, it was 19 galleons and 10 sickles, George corrected with a grin.
12:49And don't forget about the large bag of exploding balloons.
12:53Oh, right, sorry.
12:54But I still don't get why Kyle wanted those balloons.
12:59They pop at the slightest touch.
13:01They're probably the weakest prank prop out there.
13:05Who knows?
13:06George shrugged.
13:08Maybe he has something else in mind for them.
13:11The two continued walking, blending seamlessly into the chaotic crowd.
13:16On their way, they spotted Kyle, and the three of them exchanged knowing glances without saying a word.
13:22A silent agreement passed between them to stay quiet about their involvement.
13:28By the time Kyle returned to the common room, a large group had already gathered inside.
13:33It was the Slytherin Quidditch team, Rosier and Marcus Flint, a senior said, lounging on a sofa.
13:40They were fooling around with dumb bombs in an empty classroom on the second floor.
13:43The door blew off, and Peeves saw everything.
13:48He started shouting in the corridor, drawing a crowd.
13:52Now Rosier and the others have been dragged to Professor Snape's office by Filch.
13:57But they're claiming to be the victims.
14:00Most of the students believed this explanation.
14:02After all, Rosier was a seventh year, and even though he was known for causing trouble,
14:08it seemed highly unlikely that he'd lock himself in an abandoned classroom just to mess around with dumb bombs.
14:14But it didn't really matter to them.
14:17Harris, sitting nearby, took a satisfied sip of pumpkin juice and said with a smirk,
14:22serves them right.
14:24Someone in the crowd voiced a concern.
14:26Do you think Professor Snape might suspect us?
14:30So what if he does?
14:32Harris replied nonchalantly.
14:34We didn't do anything.
14:36Besides, our conflict with Rosier and his lot was a week ago.
14:41Gryffindor is far more suspicious right now.
14:44It's definitely Gryffindor.
14:47Rosier said shakily, standing in the corner of the potion's office.
14:51Marcus and the others had already been taken away by Filch to be confined to their rooms.
14:56But Rosier had been left behind.
14:59He stood there, his face black and blue from bruises, looking utterly miserable.
15:04Getting hit in the face with dumb bombs was one thing, but he was also freezing.
15:09When Filch had dragged him to the office,
15:11Professor Snape had sprayed him down three times with plain water,
15:15refusing to let him use any drying charms.
15:18It was the only way to keep the stench from becoming bearable in the confined space of the potion's office.
15:23Unfortunately for Rosier, the office was located near the dungeon cells, which were naturally cold.
15:31And since it was still November, the wind cutting through the stone halls made it even worse.
15:36In no time, a thin layer of ice had formed on his soaked clothes,
15:40making the freezing sensation all the more unbearable.
15:43You don't need to tell me that, Snape replied icily, casting him a sharp look.
15:49What I can't fathom is how you could be so idiotic as to activate that Nimbus 2000.
15:55Have you lent your brain to a troll?
15:57Professor, I didn't mean to turn it on,
16:00Rosier stammered, his teeth chattering from the cold.
16:03I was just.
16:05I was trying to hide it, but I didn't realize Peeves was there.
16:10Rosier quickly explained the entire sequence of events,
16:13conveniently omitting some minor details and making himself out to be a responsible Slytherin captain,
16:18only concerned with protecting the honor of his house.
16:22Snape listened silently, his expression unreadable.
16:25When Rosier finished, he was met with the same cold stare.
16:30Is what you said true?
16:31Snape asked, his voice dripping with skepticism.
16:35It's all true, professor.
16:38I guarantee it, Rosier answered firmly, trying his best to sound convincing.
16:44Snape gave a slow, measured nod.
16:47Very well.
16:48You're not entirely brainless.
16:51He tossed a small bottle of potion at Rosier, who caught it with trembling hands.
16:56Now get out and find Filch, Snape ordered without looking at him.
17:01Rosier felt an overwhelming sense of relief, as if he had just been handed a great mercy.
17:06He immediately uncorked the bottle and gulped down its contents.
17:11The moment the purple potion hit his throat, his face contorted into a grimace, turning an
17:16even more unpleasant shade of green.
17:18He doubled over, coughing violently as the foul taste overwhelmed him.
17:22To be honest, it wasn't much better than the dumb bombs he'd just been hit with.
17:28Channel Dream Novel
17:29Chapter 68, Snape's intuition before the afternoon Quidditch match was set to begin,
17:35Professor Snape approached Madame Hooch, requesting a postponement on the grounds that the physical
17:40and mental health of his house's players had been affected.
17:44Madame Hooch, already aware of the chaos that had unfolded at noon, didn't question his request.
17:49Without further discussion, she agreed and began preparations to have Ravenclaw replace
17:55Slytherin in the match.
17:57However, Snape wasn't done.
18:00Madame Hooch, I don't think Gryffindor is fit to compete today either, he added, glancing
18:05toward the Gryffindor team.
18:07There's something urgent I need to discuss with the Weasleys.
18:11Madame Hooch frowned in frustration.
18:12Can't it wait until after the match?
18:16If both teams were replaced, it would throw the entire tournament into disarray, making
18:21the rescheduling process a nightmare.
18:24It's urgent, Snape replied, his voice unwavering.
18:28As a full professor and head of Slytherin, Snape had enough authority to intervene, and
18:32Madame Hooch reluctantly agreed.
18:35Alright, but let's hope this doesn't happen again, she warned him.
18:38Rescheduling matches is a serious inconvenience.
18:43Snape, with his usual cool tone, replied, believe me, I don't want this to happen either,
18:49but I can't fathom what they were thinking.
18:52With that, he strode toward the Gryffindor team and, without hesitation, pulled Fred and
18:57George away.
18:59Charlie Weasley quickly stepped forward, trying to intervene, but Snape shut him down immediately.
19:05Disobeying a professor.
19:07Ten points from Gryffindor, Weasley, Snape said coldly.
19:11If you don't step aside, I'll dock twenty next time.
19:15Charlie clenched his fists, his face turning red with anger.
19:19The veins in his arms bulged as he considered arguing further, but after taking a deep breath,
19:25he grudgingly stepped aside.
19:27Professor Snape, he said tersely, take care.
19:30Snape, his grip on his wand slightly loosening, gave a derisive snort before leading Fred and
19:36George away from the Quidditch pitch.
19:39As he did, Charlie cursed under his breath, his frustration boiling over.
19:44Without wasting another moment, he stormed off, heading straight for Professor McGonagall's
19:49office.
19:50The Slytherins had gone too far this time, not only setting them up but also throwing around
19:55insults.
19:57But in Charlie's mind, Gryffindor had a trump card, their deputy headmistress, McGonagall,
20:03who outranked Snape.
20:04He'd make sure she heard about this.
20:07Meanwhile, Snape led Fred and George back to the castle, taking them straight to the potions
20:12office.
20:14But the twins, far from nervous, seemed more amused than anything, taking in the surroundings
20:19with curious eyes.
20:20The office was unimpressive.
20:24It felt cramped, with old-fashioned desks and creaky floorboards.
20:28If it weren't for the shelves of potion ingredients lining the walls, the room might have been mistaken
20:33for a second-hand furniture shop.
20:36Compared to Professor McGonagall's elegant office, Snape's workspace was disappointingly
20:41ordinary.
20:42Professor Snape, what can we do for you?
20:45Fred asked, breaking the silence.
20:47Snape didn't answer immediately, his voice slow and deliberate as he finally spoke.
20:54What's the story with the package you received this morning?
20:57We don't know, Professor, George replied smoothly, pulling a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket
21:03and placing it on the nearby table.
21:06There was no signature.
21:08We assumed the owl delivered it to us by mistake.
21:12Fred nodded in agreement.
21:14We searched for the rightful owner, but we couldn't find them.
21:17We were actually about to hand it over to Professor McGonagall when it disappeared.
21:23George leaned forward slightly.
21:25Professor, do you happen to know who stole the package?
21:28He placed deliberate emphasis on the word stole, pausing for effect.
21:33But Snape, unfazed, ignored the bait and continued his interrogation.
21:38So, you didn't purchase the package yourselves?
21:42Snape asked, his voice sharp.
21:45Don't try to fool me.
21:47I know it came from Zonko's.
21:49I'll be heading to Hogsmeade later to ask around.
21:53Fred remained calm, his expression unchanged.
21:57That's your prerogative, Professor.
22:00George added with a polite smile, but if you happen to find out who stole the package,
22:04we'd appreciate you letting us know.
22:07After all, it was lost while in our possession, and we'll have a hard time explaining that to
22:12the owner if they come asking for it.
22:14Snape's eye twitched ever so slightly at George's not-so-subtle dig, but once again,
22:19he pretended not to notice, maintaining his cold demeanor.
22:24Weasley, you, knock, knock, knock.
22:27At that moment, a knock sounded on the door.
22:31Professor McGonagall entered from outside.
22:34Severus, I heard you took Fred and George with you, Professor McGonagall said, lips pursed
22:39and expression serious.
22:42Did they do something wrong?
22:44We didn't, Professor McGonagall.
22:47Fred protested loudly.
22:49George quickly followed, Professor Snape asked us about the package.
22:53Professor McGonagall paused, thinking for a moment.
22:58Is it the one you told me about earlier?
23:00The one without a signature?
23:03Yes, that's the one, Fred replied.
23:06But it's gone, and we suspect someone may have stolen it.
23:10Stolen.
23:12At Hogwarts.
23:14Professor McGonagall's lips pressed into an even tighter line.
23:17If I find out who it was, I'll deduct a hundred, no, two hundred points.
23:23Ahem.
23:25Snape coughed twice, interrupting.
23:28Actually, it belonged to one of our Slytherin students.
23:32He brought it to me after he found it.
23:35Professor McGonagall looked momentarily surprised.
23:38From your house.
23:40Yes, from our house, Snape confirmed, his face taking on a slight greenish tint as he gritted
23:46his teeth.
23:47I called the Weasleys here just to confirm the situation.
23:51I see.
23:51Professor McGonagall's face softened somewhat, though she still appeared displeased.
23:58You could have explained this at the pitch.
24:00Why did you have to interrupt the match?
24:03Snape remained silent, cursing Rosier inwardly for his foolishness.
24:08After that, Professor McGonagall left, taking Fred and George with her.
24:13Snape didn't stop them.
24:15In fact, he had never really suspected the Weasleys.
24:18The style didn't match.
24:21He had only wanted to gather some information from them and maybe dock 30 or 50 points to
24:26lighten his mood.
24:28He hadn't expected McGonagall to show up so quickly, and Fred and George had been well
24:33prepared, turning the situation into a theft right in front of her.
24:37He couldn't even dispute it.
24:38After all, it was the truth.
24:42If the Slytherins hadn't stolen the package, the rest of the incident wouldn't have occurred.
24:47Rosier, that idiot is practically related to a troll.
24:52Snape cursed in his mind once more.
24:54Still, the whole exchange left Snape more certain that the Weasleys had nothing to do
24:59with the theft, or at the very least, they weren't the masterminds.
25:03The Weasleys just weren't clever enough for something like this.
25:07As he stood there, lost in thought, a sly, hypocritical face suddenly flashed in his mind,
25:13replacing the honest and trustworthy image he'd first considered.
25:17Kyle Chopper
25:18Snape muttered to himself.
25:21Even though, by all accounts, Kyle had nothing to do with the situation, not even remotely,
25:27Snape's instincts screamed otherwise.
25:30He was sure Kyle wasn't entirely innocent.
25:33Yes, it was intuition, and it had nothing to do with Kyle corrupting Kanna.

25:40Chapter 69, What Would You Do?
25:43Mr. Chopper, why didn't you grind the lionfish spines into a powder before adding them to
25:48the cauldron, as the book instructs?
25:51Snape's voice was sharp, dripping with condescension as he stared at Kyle during potions class.
25:57Do you think you're some sort of potions genius, tampering with the textbook?
26:02Because of your arrogance, Hufflepuff will lose five points.
26:06Kyle glanced up at the blackboard.
26:09Written in large, clear letters were the instructions,
26:12Lionfish spines are not ground, but boiled in boiling water for five minutes, then cut
26:17into sections.
26:19The words were huge, unmistakable, and written by Snape himself.
26:24How could this possibly be considered tampering with the textbook?
26:28Professor.
26:29Kyle took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice as calm and steady as possible.
26:35That's what it says on your blackboard.
26:37Oh, then I made a mistake, Snape replied coolly, waving his wand with a detached air and erasing
26:43the sentence from the blackboard.
26:45Does that mean I'm always right?
26:48What about your judgment?
26:50If I told you to add your own heart tendon, would you do it?
26:54Snape sneered, his tone biting.
26:56Because you have no mind of your own, Hufflepuff lose three more points.
27:02Until the end of class, Kyle's hand remained clenched around a rock cake in his pocket, torn
27:07between the temptation to throw it at Snape's back and keeping it there.
27:11Although Snape had been deducting points for no good reason for as long as Kyle could remember,
27:16today had crossed the line.
27:18Snape had stooped to new lows, even going as far as to lose face just to dock points.
27:23How could he write something on the board himself and then erase it with his own hands?
27:28This level of manipulation was truly eye-opening for Kyle.
27:32Of course, the effect was immediate.
27:36In just one class, Kyle had lost over 30 points.
27:40Since starting at Hogwarts, no other class had ever deducted that many points from him.
27:46Afterward, the other young Hufflepuffs came over to console him, even Kanna, who kindly offered
27:51him a licorice sweet.
27:53Kyle glanced at it but chose to ignore it.
27:56During dinner, word of what had happened in Potion's class spread, and Fred and George
28:01Weasley made their way over to Kyle.
28:03They patted him on the shoulder sympathetically.
28:06It's okay, mate, Snape's always docking points from us too.
28:11It's nothing new, Fred said, trying to reassure him.
28:14Yes, poof.
28:17I mean, you just have to let it go, George added, his words meant to comfort, but the
28:22smirks on their faces betrayed them.
28:25It was clear they had come to laugh at the situation more than to sympathize.
28:28Just as Kyle was about to brush them off, Fred leaned in closer and whispered, come on, stop
28:35dwelling on the bad stuff.
28:37Let me show you something cool.
28:39He glanced around cautiously before pulling a square piece of parchment from his pocket.
28:45Remember the other day when I said I wanted to show you something?
28:48Well, this is it.
28:51George leaned in too, his voice low.
28:54A magical object.
28:56Bet you won't guess what it is.
28:58Could it be?
29:00Kyle raised an eyebrow, pretending to think deeply before saying, parchment that automatically
29:05writes homework.
29:06The twins' previously smug expressions faltered, their faces suddenly stiff.
29:12If only.
29:13Fred said, his eyes lighting up at the thought.
29:16I really wish it was.
29:19But the actual function is still pretty amazing, George continued.
29:24It's a map of Hogwarts.
29:26But not just any map, you can't buy one like this.
29:30It's called the Marauder's Map, Fred explained as he took out his wand and tapped the parchment
29:35gently.
29:36I solemnly swear.
29:38Instantly, thin lines of ink spread across the parchment like a spider's web, connecting
29:43and stretching to the edges.
29:44Large green letters appeared at the top, Messer's Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prong's purveyors
29:52of aids to magical mischief makers are proud to present the Marauder's Map.
29:56Kyle took the parchment from Fred and examined it.
29:59The famed Marauder's Map displayed Hogwarts Castle in intricate detail, far beyond that of any
30:05ordinary map.
30:06It was almost like a miniature of the entire castle.
30:10Every painting, carpet, and vase was marked on the map.
30:14But what stood out most were the numerous tiny black dots moving about on the map, each labeled
30:19with a name in small print.
30:20Kyle spotted Dumbledore in the headmaster's office, and he also saw Filch and Peeves darting
30:27through the Corridor.
30:28RS from the 5th to the 6th floor.
30:31However, in more crowded areas like the Great Hall, the map was less helpful, there were so
30:36many names overlapping that it was hard to make anything out.
30:40Kyle also noticed that some secret passageways seemed to be missing.
30:43For instance, the location of the Whomping Willow was blank, with no markings at all.
30:50He handed the map back to Fred and asked, how did you get it?
30:54We were in first year, Fred began, his eyes narrowing with nostalgia, young, carefree, innocent.
31:01For some trivial thing, Filch dragged us into his office and threatened to.
31:06George added.
31:08Detention, Fred interjected.
31:11Tear us apart, George continued dramatically.
31:14And while we were there, we happened to notice one of his filing cabinet drawers labeled,
31:19confiscated items, highly dangerous.
31:23Fred suddenly chuckled.
31:25Kyle, what would you have done?
31:27Kyle thought for a moment.
31:29I'd have lured Peeves there with a bunch of dumb bombs or pepper imps and used the chaos
31:33to grab whatever was in the drawer.
31:36Fred and George stared at him, speechless for a long moment.
31:39Finally, Fred shook his head and said, Kyle, you deserve to lose 30 points from Snape.
31:46Really, you do?
31:49Don't remind me of that, Kyle glared at him.
31:52So, this map is what you took from that drawer?
31:56Yep, George replied, smacking his lips.
31:59We didn't have your nerve, so we just took this.
32:02But how did you know how to use it?
32:05Kyle asked, flipping through the parchment.
32:08It's not written anywhere.
32:11Ah, that's thanks to Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs, Fred sighed.
32:17Those four were geniuses when it came to pranks.
32:19They hid the password in various corners of the castle, George added.
32:25If you find all the clues, you can piece it together.
32:29Unfortunately, we've been searching for a year now, Fred said, looking disappointed.
32:34But we still haven't found the full password.
32:37They hid the password in various corners of the castle, George added.
32:42If you find all the clues, you can piece it together.
32:45So we can only use the map five times a day, and only for half an hour each time, George
32:51added with a smile.
32:53It's a big task, and we're prepared to spend the next three years completing it.
32:57And if you don't find it in three years?
33:00Kyle asked.
33:02Then we don't deserve it, George shrugged.
33:05And we'll pass it on to a new owner.
33:08Really, Kyle said with a hint of amusement.
33:11So, you're showing it to me to recruit me into your quest for clues?
33:16No, Kyle, Fred said, shaking his head.
33:20The password is a test from the marauders, and we have to solve it on our own.
33:25Then what's this about?
33:27Kyle asked.
33:29Simple, the twins said in unison, grinning widely.
33:33We're going on a night tour.
33:36Channel Dream Novel.
33:37Chapter 70, Why Are You Wearing Slytherin's Clothes?
33:41I can't believe it, Kyle, Cedric said, his voice filled with dismay, as he stood near the barrel at the entrance to the Hufflepuff common room late at night.
33:51You actually agreed to go on a nighttime tour with the Weasley brothers.
33:55I've thought about it, and they're right, Kyle replied, rummaging through his mokeskin pouch without looking up.
34:01I really need to do something fun to cheer myself up.
34:05But you can't go on a nighttime tour.
34:08Cedric said, clearly distressed.
34:11That's against the rules.
34:14If you get caught, you'll not only lose points, but you'll also be put in detention.
34:19You're only a first year, Kyle, you can't start breaking school rules like this.
34:24Cedric's concern was evident.
34:27He spoke earnestly, as if he truly feared that Kyle might be led down the wrong path by Fred and George.
34:33Don't worry, Cedric.
34:36With the Marauder's Map, no one can catch us, Kyle said confidently, finally finding what he was looking for in the pouch.
34:44He glanced up at Cedric and added with a smirk, besides, before lecturing me, take a look around.
34:50This is the castle corridor, not the common room.
34:54You're part of this night tour too.
34:57I, I don't want to go on a night tour.
35:00Cedric protested, sticking his neck out.
35:03I'm just coming along to keep an eye on you, to stop you from breaking more rules.
35:09Kyle raised an eyebrow and snorted, as you wish.
35:12We'll turn back now and forget about going to the Forbidden Forest to watch the moon calves dance.
35:18Err, well.
35:20Cedric's resolve wavered.
35:23His eyes darted, suddenly a little unfocused, as he mumbled, no, that's not what I meant.
35:29I just want to.
35:31You want to go to the Forbidden Forest, don't you?
35:34Kyle interrupted bluntly, pointing at Kanna, who stood silently beside them.
35:40You should learn from her.
35:42If you want to go, just wait quietly.
35:45Say one more word, and I won't take you.
35:48Cedric chuckled awkwardly, immediately silencing himself.
35:53Earlier in the great hall, although Kyle and the Weasley twins had spoken in hushed tones,
35:58Cedric and Kanna, who had been seated nearby, had inevitably overheard part of their conversation.
36:04When Kyle snuck out of the dormitory later that night, he had turned around to find two pairs of eyes fixed on him in the moonlight.
36:11The sight startled him, sending a shiver down his spine.
36:16Any sleepiness he had left vanished, replaced by cold sweat.
36:20The two figures, of course, were Cedric and Kanna, and their intentions were clear, they wanted to join him on his adventure to the Forbidden Forest.
36:29And so, the scene that was unfolding now had come to pass.
36:33After Cedric finally quieted down, Kyle pulled a bundle of long, striped items from his pouch and handed them over.
36:41Pick one.
36:42Cedric squinted at the bundle in Kyle's hands.
36:46Something about it seemed familiar.
36:49When he looked more closely, he realized they were scarves from the other three houses,
36:54Gryffindor scarlet and gold, Slytherin silver and green, and Ravenclaw's gray and blue.
36:59There were about a dozen scarves in total, so tightly bound together that at first glance, one could mistake them for a log.
37:07Confused, Cedric blurted out,
37:09Kyle, why are you giving me this?
37:12I already have my own scarf.
37:15These aren't for warmth, Kyle replied, still focused on his pouch.
37:20They're just in case.
37:22If you get spotted, toss it on the ground as you run.
37:26Cedric and Kanna exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what to do.
37:31When they didn't move for a while,
37:33Kyle simply took two silver-green scarves and draped them around their necks,
37:37matching the one he wore himself.
37:39Properly equipped, the trio left the kitchen corridor and made their way to the agreed meeting spot,
37:44the entrance of a hut near the Great Hall, where the first-year students would wait.
37:49It was a place rarely noticed by anyone, save for the occasional pile of branches,
37:54and even Filch seldom patrolled the area.
37:57When they arrived, Fred and George were already there.
38:01Wow, look who's here, George said with a mischievous glint in his eye.
38:06The golden boy Cedric, and the warrior who conquered Snape, Kanna.
38:11Fred joined in, grinning widely.
38:14I didn't realize our nighttime patrol team was so luxurious.
38:17This is really, wait.
38:21His eyes suddenly widened as he noticed something unusual.
38:25Why are you all wearing Slytherin scarves?
38:28Kyle sighed and explained the plan once more.
38:31What a genius idea.
38:34Fred and George were clearly impressed.
38:36Do you have more?
38:38Fred asked eagerly.
38:40Get us one, quick.
38:42Kyle shrugged and handed them two more silver-green scarves.
38:47All of them were Slytherin, purely out of convenience, definitely not because Snape had been particularly
38:52hard on him recently.
38:54The twins donned their scarves immediately.
38:57Fred admired his new look and asked curiously,
39:00Kyle, I don't remember you ever leaving Hogwarts.
39:04Where did you get these?
39:06My mum sent them, Kyle said casually.
39:08Along with the scarves, there was also a master key and an invisibility cloak with a disillusionment
39:14charm cast on it.
39:16I'm not sure why she sent them, but it turned out to be perfect timing.
39:21Kyle said this lightly, but he didn't notice the astonished looks on the twins' faces,
39:26their eyes practically glowing red with envy.
39:29A master key.
39:30Fred breathed in disbelief.
39:33An invisibility cloak.
39:34George swallowed, then said earnestly, Mrs. Chopper is simply the greatest mother in the world.
39:42Agreed, Fred added, nodding solemnly.
39:45Her deeds and thoughts deserve to be written down and put in a book, placed in the most prominent
39:50spot in Flourish and Blocks.
39:52And in the school library too.
39:55If that day ever comes, I swear I'll buy it, George vowed.
39:59Even if it bankrupts me.
40:02And put it in the kitchen.
40:04Or in mum's room.
40:06If that day ever comes.
40:08Kyle grinned, shaking his head.
40:11You'll probably end up hung up and beaten by Mrs. Weasley.
40:15No, Fred replied seriously.
40:18Mum would never hang us up and beat us.
40:21She just twists our ears, George laughed.
40:24I think she's trying to twist them off so she won't get our names wrong anymore.
40:29Though, to be fair, she's never mixed them up.
40:33As Kyle and the twins bantered and laughed, Cedric and Kanna stood frozen, nervous and stiff.
40:40They were far too anxious to join in, terrified that Filch might appear out of nowhere and drag
40:45them off to the professor's office.
40:47Noticing their discomfort, Fred unfurled the Marauder's map with a flourish.
40:51Don't worry, we've been watching the map the whole time.
40:56He pointed at the parchment.
40:58Filch and Mrs. Norris are on the fifth floor.
41:02As long as we don't make too much noise, they won't, oh no, the cat's coming down.
41:08On the map, the name Mrs. Norris was speeding towards them.
41:12George reacted quickly, pulling out his wand and aiming it at a nearby tapestry.
41:17Revealio.
41:18The tapestry split down the middle, revealing a hidden passage.
41:23Quick, get in there.
41:25Fred urged, his voice hushed but urgent.
41:29We've got to move before that cat gets here.
41:32Without hesitation, the group hurried into the secret passage.
41:37George, the last to enter, slipped through just as the tapestry closed back up, restoring the
41:42corridor to its original appearance.
41:45A second later, Mrs. Norris arrived.
41:48She sniffed around the now empty hallway, lingering in confusion for a moment before
41:52eventually wandering off, leaving the corridor as silent as before.
