"You must have thought of this a long time ago, which is why you didn't let us tell Dumbledore about this."

Fred said, patting Cedric's shoulder excitedly. "As a prefect, you are much smarter than Percy... But you can definitely explain it more clearly next time."

Did I think so? Cedric felt that they seemed to have misunderstood something, and he really thought that he should find more evidence before going to see Headmaster Dumbledore.

After all, one of the other parties is the referee and the other is the principal. If I just go and accuse them of cheating, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

But seeing how excited the two were, he ultimately gave no explanation.

And Cedric also felt that what they said made sense. He also got the inside information of the third project. Kyle, who was able to enter the maze first, would definitely have an advantage over Krum.

So, the three of them looked at each other and started to tell each other the news they had just heard.

"The plants provided by Professor Sprout are Devil's Snare, Venomous Geranium and Snake Vine. They are all hidden in the hedges. You must be careful when you are in the maze."

"There are quite a lot of magical creatures, but this shouldn't be difficult for you."

"The most dangerous animal is the giant eight-eyed spider, and it is on the wrong route. You must run away when you see it. There is no need to waste time..."

The three of them talked one after another, and during the whole process, no one asked Kyle's opinion.

There were several times when Kyle was about to say something but was interrupted.

He originally wanted to say that even if Krum got the news, it would not pose any threat to him. After all, once he got into the maze, he could just ask any magical creature and find out.

But the three of them didn't even give him a chance to speak...

It was half past ten when Fred and George left the Hufflepuff common room.

The two of them walked blatantly on the empty stairs without any cover.

"I think Bagman will definitely go to Karkaroff again..." Fred said as he walked, "I think we have to keep an eye on him to prevent him from revealing any new information to Karkaroff."

"Yes, I thought so too." George nodded. "When they can't win, they want to cheat... No wonder the adults don't think highly of Durmstrang. I used to think it was because they teach dark magic."

"But they won't succeed now." Fred waved a piece of parchment in his hand. "We will keep an eye on Bagman. He won't try to hide the news from everyone and reveal it to Karkaroff again."

After that, the two of them quickened their pace and soon arrived at the eighth floor. As long as they continued walking along the corridor, they would reach the Gryffindor common room.

"But if you ask me, Karkaroff did do a good thing." George said suddenly: "After the cat disappeared from the castle, it seemed to become quiet all of a sudden. This is great."

"And Filch," said Fred, also smiling.

"That's right."

George said, "Without them, the night tour is not so exciting and a bit boring."

The two continued walking forward, but just as they were about to reach the portrait of the Fat Lady, a dim light suddenly appeared at the corner of the corridor.

Fortunately, the two reacted quickly, retreated quickly, and used the Disillusionment Spell on themselves as soon as possible.

Soon, they saw Filch coming from another corridor in a sinister manner.

"Who's there? I heard you talking. Come out!" he said gruffly, making Fred and George gasp.

The corridor was not very spacious. If Filch had moved a little closer, he would have noticed two people standing in front of the wall.

One step, two steps... Filch was getting closer.

At this moment, a tinkling sound suddenly came from downstairs, attracting his attention.

Filch quickly picked up the oil lamp and chased after him.

…

The next morning, Fred described in vivid detail what had happened the previous night.

"Who told you to save trouble by not using the Disillusionment Charm?"

Kyle took a piece of roasted corn and said, "Filch hasn't been fired yet, so the daily routine inspections are inevitable."

"Who would have thought?" George shrugged. "Everyone knows now that Filch only comes out once during curfew. It was quite late when we came out, wasn't it?"

"Maybe he's getting back on his feet," Connor said.

"If that's the case, it's not bad."

Fred poked at his plate of stew. "We missed Filch."

"Without such an opponent, we have no interest in even going out at night."

The fun of a night out is to compete with Filch in wits and courage? Only Fred and George could say this.

"Oh, wait, Bagman is here..." George said suddenly after accidentally glancing at the Marauder's Map.

Then the two of them quickly finished the food on their plates, stood up and rushed out of the auditorium.

Cedric wanted to follow, but he turned back just as he reached the door of the auditorium.

"They used the Disillusionment Charm." Cedric spread his hands and said, "I can't find where they are."

…

Similar things happened many times in the following period of time.

Bagman seemed to have become a trap for the Weasley brothers. As long as he appeared outside of class, Fred and George would immediately run over, sometimes bringing Cedric with them.

The day the third task began was also the day the Hogwarts exams ended. They should have used the time to review, but now they spent a lot of energy staring at Bagman and Karkaroff.

Even though Kyle had told them many times that this was not necessary, they simply didn't listen.

"You don't have to worry about that, Kyle."

After returning from the Quidditch field again, Cedric said, "The sixth grade courses are very easy. We have even less homework than in the third grade, so we have more than enough time."

"Yeah." Fred nodded beside him, "And we don't need to worry about exams. As long as we have the OWL score, it will be enough. Even if we do a little worse in the sixth grade final exam, mom won't say anything."

"Are you sure?" Kyle raised his eyebrows.

"Well... I guess so." Fred looked a little hesitant, but finally waved his hand.

"Don't worry about this. Just focus on preparing for the third project."

"We're doing something for Hogwarts." George took out an ear-shaped object and said, "If we can find evidence of Bagman and Karkaroff cheating... Mom will definitely understand."

"What if you can't catch him? You'll go back with a bad report card?"

The two suddenly fell silent.

"If that's the case..." After a moment, Fred said quietly, "Kyle, how about letting us stay in your attic for two months?"
