Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 106 Unexpected Turn of Events! Eckeris Takes a Risk!

As the Weasley twins recited the incantation to activate the Marauder's Map, streaks of ink appeared and spread across the blank parchment, gradually outlining the structure of the entire Hogwarts Castle.

The map marks most of the castle's secret passages and displays the names and locations of all the wizards within the castle in real time.

They quickly found Filch's name.

"Hey! Filch seems to be stalking Professor Ecclesia!"

George Weasley recounted his discovery with astonishment.

Fred also saw it; Filch's name was indeed following Eckerice's name from a distance, and he immediately exclaimed indignantly:

"Filch is no good! No matter how beautiful Professor Eckeris is, you can't keep peeping at her like that! Let's go! Let him taste the power of our new dung bomb!"

The Weasley twins, bursting with a sense of justice, followed the Marauder's Map, took a shortcut, and headed straight for the intersection in front of Filch.

Meanwhile, Filch had already noticed Eckeris's unusual behavior.

At first, there were no problems. After the professor finished dinner, he went back to his office to rest.

But your office door wasn't even completely closed, so how did you manage to slip out again while wearing the Disillusionment Charm?

Are you going back to the office? Yes, but not completely back, like...

What's wrong? Are you letting your inner child kick in at night and going out for a stroll like an older student?

Why would a professor with nothing to hide do this?

The Disillusionment Charm cannot completely make one invisible. Do you think I, the seasoned castle keeper, Mr. Filch the Wizard, can't tell?

Even if I can't tell, Mrs. Lorice in my arms can smell it!

Filch chuckled inwardly, sensing that he was about to make a great contribution!

The elixir of immortality, here I come!

Hee hee hee!

Filch, dressed in a purple robe and carrying a purple cat, followed Eckeris at a distance.

People under the influence of the illusion spell are very difficult to track.

Filch used all his experience and energy, and worked in perfect harmony with Lady Lorris's guidance, to keep up with the group from a distance without being discovered by Ecclesia.

They walked slowly back down to the first floor, one after the other.

Filch stared intently and furtively at the blurry, distorted scenery in the distance, stopping every few steps. As he descended the last step, he didn't even notice that two small, yellowish-brown balls had quietly rolled to his feet.

"burst!"

The Weasley twins shouted excitedly in unison.

Filch, dressed in new clothes, was instantly enveloped by a strong stench and filth, catching him completely off guard.

Mrs. Lorris meowed and jumped away from Filch's arms. It was also quite suffocated by the smell, and its keen sense of smell was temporarily unusable.

"Weasley! It's you guys again!"

Amidst the pervasive stench, the filthy Filch let out an barely suppressed roar. He was not only angry because he had been ambushed in a prank, but also because he had lost track of Eckeris and ruined the task Dudley had assigned him.

Filch was about to chase after the Weasley twins and give them a good beating, but with a heavy responsibility on his mind, he had only taken one step when a sliver of reason returned to his head.

The Weasley twins have already run far ahead and are difficult to catch up with; even if they did, it would be of no use.

Eckeris was also lost. Based on the path she took, it was known that Eckeris was heading straight for the main gate on the first floor of the castle, and it was unclear what she was doing outside the castle.

"Completely cleaned up!"

Filch drew his Whomping Willow Wand and cast a cleansing spell on himself, removing the stench and filth from his body.

Then, using magic, he cleaned up Lady Lorice, who had run off to lick her fur in the distance.

Then he took out a large notebook with many records in it from his pocket, tore off a blank page, took out a quill pen, wrote a string of words on it, folded it up, and put it into Mrs. Lorris's mouth.

"Quick, Honey! Go to the Astronomy Tower, find Assistant Professor Dursley, give this to him, and give him a heads-up!"

Mrs. Lorris gave Filch a very reluctant look, but still took off with her cat-like steps and ran towards the Astronomical Tower, carrying out the orders of her unfortunate master.

In the distance, in a secret passageway of the castle outside the two corridors, the Weasley twins stopped, somewhat puzzled.

"Strange! Why isn't Filch pursuing us so relentlessly today? Has he become a coward since becoming a wizard?"

"I don't know if Filch has become a coward, but his combat ability certainly hasn't improved! We don't need to worry about him anymore!"

"That's true!"

"By the way, George, did you see Professor Eckeris just now? Her name is on the Marauder's Map, but I can't actually see her there."

"She must have discovered that the lecherous Filch was following her, so she used the Disillusionment Charm to become invisible! Professor Ecclesia is so gentle! She didn't even teach Filch a lesson!"

Fred and George took turns reviewing the events, believing they had seen through the cause and effect of the matter, unaware that none of their analyses were accurate.

……

Outside Hogwarts Castle, Eckeris was somewhat uneasy. She had just heard the sound of the dung ball exploding and Filch's subsequent roar.

This was clearly a well-deserved prank, with problem students playing tricks on the perverted administrator—something that happened frequently in the castle.

Although Eckeris hadn't been at Hogwarts Castle for very long, she had already heard of the Weasley twins' reputation as masters of mischief.

So what just happened can be considered perfectly normal.

In other words, the incident occurred relatively close to her location, which is something to be wary of.

But she always uses the illusion spell, so usually no one can see her.

At this moment, two conflicting thoughts were swirling in Ecclesia's mind.

A thought crossed her mind that what had just happened was simply an accident unrelated to her, and that tonight's operation should continue;

Another thought was that something was amiss with what had just happened, and to be on the safe side, tonight's operation should be canceled.

Two conflicting thoughts battled within Ecclesia's mind, but gradually, the idea that tonight's operation should continue won out.

Based on the memories she retains at this moment, she knows that if she can't obtain unicorn blood within three days, she will suffer an extremely miserable fate.

She didn't want to use her body so quickly to seduce Snape.

Moreover, even if she immediately tried to seduce Snape, there wouldn't be enough time.

She couldn't guarantee that her charm would be enough to bewitch a cold, middle-aged man within three days, making him willingly run into the Forbidden Forest to fetch unicorn blood for her.

For now, she can only rely on herself.

Ecclesia made up her mind, gripped her wand tightly, and headed straight for the Forbidden Forest.

She didn't realize that she had chosen the wrong path.

A large net is being quietly woven behind her.
