Almost instantly, Dumbledore unleashed three spells, and after these three spells were released, Dumbledore was able to see clearly what the upside-down shadow was by the light of the fluorescent glow.
ε=(?ο`*)))
Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh when he saw what it was. It was a snowman, and a rather cute one at that. But when the snowman appeared upside down in the corridor, especially when it disappeared into the darkness, it was anything but cute.
The reason Dumbledore sighed the moment he saw what it was was simple: apart from Ye Feng, no one in the entire Hogwarts could easily hide such a large snowman from him in the corridor outside his residence, and no one would be so bored as to secretly do such a thing to scare him.
Remembering that he had come out after hearing the exclamation, Dumbledore figured there must be quite a few snowmen like this on campus.
However, he thought it was better to leave it for tomorrow and deal with it later. After all, he couldn't just let himself be frightened. Frightening more people would teach them a lesson and also allow more people to condemn Ye Feng tomorrow.
So, after listening for a bit and getting a general idea of what was going on, Dumbledore went back to sleep. While Dumbledore was irresponsibly turning around and going back to sleep, Snape and the other professors were awakened by the screams and came out of their rooms. Then they almost performed the same magic as Dumbledore.
Ye Feng was never one to show favoritism, so he built a snowman outside each professor's door, choosing a perfect angle that allowed them to see it from the corner of their eyes, but not clearly.
In this situation, they would definitely be frightened because it would give them an extremely dangerous feeling, but when they use the fluorescent flashing, they will find that it was a beautiful misunderstanding.
"Ye Feng!"
Everyone in the school knew who Ye Feng was, so they immediately guessed that he must have done it, because only he would have the ability and the leisure to do so. No one else could hang a snowman upside down from the ceiling without it falling.
"Shattered to pieces!"
Grindelwald was the only one who, upon discovering it was a snowman, immediately pulverized Snowman. After being pulverized, Grindelwald understood how Ye Feng had managed to hang the snowman upside down from the ceiling.
The principle is actually very simple. Ye Feng hammered a steel nail into the ceiling, then built a frame, and finally piled the snowmen on the frame, thus making the snowman hang upside down in the corridor.
"This guy always manages to surprise me. He didn't use magic, mysterious power, or talismans to do it. He just simply hammered in a nail and made a frame."
"It seems we often overcomplicate things. Ye Feng, you've taught me another lesson."
That night, many people were frightened by Ye Feng's snowman. Of course, many others realized that it was just a snowman and then secretly built a few themselves, with Gemini being a prime example.
So, the next morning, after dawn, Dumbledore looked at the yard full of snowmen and fell into deep thought.
"Perhaps we have all underestimated Ye Feng's influence on Hogwarts. Hogwarts may no longer be the Hogwarts it once was."
Chapter 217 Another Use for Snowmen
Dumbledore once naively thought that Ye Feng was just a rather noisy, mischievous child who liked to play pranks. Even if he was a bit noisy, it wouldn't have a big impact on the school, at least not on the students' behavior.
However, it wasn't until this moment that he realized Ye Feng's influence had gone far beyond their daily lives. Ye Feng's influence on Hogwarts had seeped into their very bones. In short, the students of Hogwarts had begun to be influenced by Ye Feng.
Of course, because students from different houses have vastly different personalities, the influence they receive is also different. But without a doubt, the Gryffindor students in his same house are already starting to think like Ye Feng.
It's not quite right to say their way of thinking is that, to be precise, when they encounter something fun or something they think is fun, their actions and thoughts are already very similar to Ye Feng's. Some of them have even taken a different path and forged their own way.
For example, Dumbledore saw a 'snowman' not far away, made up of several magical creatures, and that snowman... let alone at night, it would be creepy to see even during the day.
After inspecting the various snowmen in the school, Dumbledore considered discussing with the professors whether they could establish another school rule prohibiting the building of snowmen on campus. However, he thought that building snowmen was a very common thing, and something that many people liked to do every year when it snowed.
Therefore, directly setting school rules to prohibit it seems like making a mountain out of a molehill and being too petty.
Finally, Dumbledore gave them a warning during dinner, telling them not to build snowmen that were too strange or in odd places where they could easily be bumped into, as this would cause a lot of unnecessary danger.
Although Dumbledore only gave a warning and did not make it a school rule, his reminder was still very necessary. Moreover, a few unlucky guys did accidentally bump into the snowmen last night. So after discussing it among themselves, the group reached a consensus to listen to Dumbledore.
Even if no consensus is reached, they still have to listen, because this is a warning from Dumbledore. If you ignore his warning and continue to misbehave this time, what awaits you next time may not be a warning but school rules and punishment.
Not everyone belongs to Ye Feng. There are many things Ye Feng can do, but if you follow along, Ye Feng might be fine, but you'll be in big trouble. This is a consensus among Hogwarts students.
This is not a figment of imagination or fabrication, but something that someone has personally tested. However, neither the person who conducted the test nor these people have any objections to it, because Ye Feng is indeed the most special person at Hogwarts.
He is special not only because he brings many surprises to Hogwarts, nor only because he brings them many conveniences, nor only because he brings them many fun and delicious things.
The reason why Ye Feng is so special at Hogwarts is not only because of the reasons mentioned above, but also because although Ye Feng likes to do big things, he never refuses to help anyone who needs it. He can be described as very kind and helpful.
Besides, Ye Feng showed them many things that couldn't be seen in books or newspapers, and allowed them to experience things that others had never experienced in their entire lives. More importantly, Ye Feng brought about an immense change to Hogwarts, a change that wasn't just in their thinking and knowledge, but also in their strength.
Therefore, Ye Feng was not only special to professors like Dumbledore, but also to the other students at Hogwarts. He was a school treasure and a beloved figure among the students.
You could say that they might try to trick Ye Feng and make him look bad or suffer a small loss, but if someone from outside the school bullies Ye Feng, the entire Hogwarts would probably unite to kill them, since Ye Feng is their absolute 'bread and butter'.
Therefore, upon hearing Dumbledore's warning, they silently eliminated some snowmen that did not belong to Ye Feng's group and whose locations were prone to danger. It was at this moment that they once again realized the gap between themselves and Ye Feng.
After they started clearing the snowmen, they realized that although Ye Feng had built quite a few, none of them were in a position where they could be easily bumped into or startled, which could lead to danger for the person being startled.
Of course, those outside the professors' doors don't count.
However, those snowmen are not actually dangerous, because at most they will only startle the professor when he opens the door at night, and there is no other danger.
He doesn't have to worry about falling and hitting people, nor does he have to worry about being bumped into, because the locations of these snowmen are carefully selected and are all piled up against the outer wall, where generally no one will pass by.
This time, clearing the snowmen allowed the Hogwarts students to witness Ye Feng's prowess once again, but their admiration quickly turned into resentment and cursing, because that night they experienced another function of these snowmen, a function beyond just being frightening.
The fear of snowmen is usually a one-time thing. Once you've been scared by one and confirmed it's just a snowman during the day, you won't be afraid or find it creepy anymore, even if they're still shrouded in darkness.
So, that night, many students went out for a night stroll as a form of revenge, and then they witnessed what it meant for a snowman to be able to talk.
After they had seen the snowmen and were no longer afraid of them, they began to ignore them and boldly venture out at night. Suddenly, when a student was completely oblivious and didn't even glance at the "snowman" he had just passed, the snowman spoke.
"Hey hey hey..."
"I caught him! Let me see which college's troublemaker is breaking school rules and going out at night?"
!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
The sudden sound behind him startled Raskin, but what terrified him even more was that when he turned around, he saw no one.
"Gulu~"
This terrifying scene startled Raskin, who had come out to find something to eat, so much so that he broke out in a cold sweat. Just as he was about to turn and run away, something even more frightening happened: the snowman that had been standing quietly by the wall... moved.
"Ghost... ghost..."
Just as Raskin was about to shout, the 'Snowman' pulled up his hood, and then…
(キ`?Д??)!!
"The ghost...the ghost turned into Filch!!!"
Raskin shouted and then turned and ran, which stunned Filch so much that he didn't realize what was happening until Raskin was far away.
"Wait a minute...did that guy take the opportunity to run away?"
At this moment, Filch finally realized that the guy who had shouted that the ghost had turned into him had already disappeared.
"Damn! These guys are getting tougher and tougher; they've even learned to use the 'playing along' tactic to escape. But don't worry, the night is still long, and there are plenty of snowmen. You... you won't get away, hehehehe..."
Chapter 218 I, Filch, am the most principled.
"Hiss~ Why do I suddenly feel a chill? Has something terrible happened?" Ye Feng, who was comfortably covered with his soft and warm blanket in his room, suddenly felt a chill, as if something terrible had happened.
Besides Ye Feng, quite a few other people suddenly felt a chill, and even his cat, Mrs. Loris, got angry and ran away because Filch's laughter was so eerie and...unusual.
Filch: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
"Wait, Mrs. Lorris, where are you going? Come back! Without you, I can't catch those cunning rascals!"
Despite Filch's pleas, Mrs. Lorris left without looking back. She found a room with a fireplace, lay down comfortably by it, and soon drifted into a sweet dream. As for Filch, she didn't care if he died.
In the dead of winter, she, so noble and elegant, was expected to brave the cold and outwit those 'little brats'. She had no time for that; she preferred to sleep by the warm fireplace.
"It would be even better if there were some dried fish..." With this thought in mind, Mrs. Lorris drifted off to sleep, while Filch, after searching around but not finding Mrs. Lorris, had to accept that she had really abandoned him and was no longer going to catch the students he had taken out for a night stroll.
"Sigh, I shouldn't have laughed like that, but I couldn't control myself. I don't know why, but I just laughed like that at that moment, and it did have a good effect and atmosphere."
"It must be because Mrs. Lorice's aesthetic sense is different from that of humans. Yes, that's right! That must be it, it's definitely not my problem!"
After convincing himself and offering some internal justification, Filch once again embarked on his pursuit of the students. This time, he chose to stake out the area not far from the kitchen, as it was the primary target for Hufflepuff students when they came out for a nighttime stroll.
Filch's choice proved to be very correct. Just over ten minutes later, he encountered a student who was crouching low and sneaking towards him. This student was probably alert because he had heard the shouts earlier, and he kept looking around as he walked.
Of course, no matter how vigilant he was, it was all in vain, because he did not include the 'harmless' 'snowman' by the wall in his list of vigilance. Having learned from his previous experience, this time Filch did not shout but simply took out his wand.
Yes, Filch, who was once ridiculed as a Squib and harbored resentment and jealousy towards the young wizards at Hogwarts because of this identity, and who, after becoming the Night Watchman of Hogwarts, did everything in his power to catch wizards who went out at night and torment them by locking them up, is no longer a Squib.
After obtaining that 'secret manual' that day, Filch began to study its contents with great effort. Finally, without any guidance, he spent more than three months completing the first cycle of operation.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the 'secret manual' was a simplified version, and an improved version after Blake studied it, making it easier to understand.
In short, after completing the first cycle, Filch discovered that he could actually cast spells.
Although he found it a little difficult to cast spells and they weren't powerful enough, he was overjoyed that he could now do so.
Unfortunately, because of what he had done before, he was not well-liked by the Hogwarts students, and because of his status, he could not get into the Hogwarts professors' circle. As a result, he had no friends at Hogwarts, so he could not share this joy.
But now things are different. He's going to show these 'bad guys' who come out at night the power of 'Great Magician' Filch!
"Fainted...collapsed to the ground!"
Hufflepuff student: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
"The snowman is alive! And it's using magic on me!"
"Except your weapons!"
Almost instinctively, the Hufflepuff student used his weapon, and Filch, who was too nervous and excited and mispronounced the spell, stared blankly as his new wand, which he hadn't even warmed up yet, was knocked away.
Filch: ...
Hufflepuff students: ...
At that moment, the atmosphere froze, because the Hufflepuff student had instinctively used his Excalibur to retaliate before the 'living Yeti' appeared to be Filch the Night's Watch.
"Gulu~"
Realizing this, the Hufflepuff student couldn't help but swallow hard.
The school has now banned harmful punishments for students, so even if Filch catches him, at most he'll be locked up, lose some points, and copy some school rules. But now he actually knocked Filch's wand away... This is a bit serious.
As is well known, Filch is a Squib, and Squibs cannot use magic, although they may possess magical talents.
However, Filch now possesses his own wand, which proves one thing: he is no longer a Squib.
Wizards graduating from schools now can buy a wand at a very low price thanks to subsidies from the Ministry of Magic, but there are requirements: you must be a certified prospective wizard eligible for admission.
In other words, if you're not a wizard, even if you have money, it's practically impossible for you to buy a wand, and there's no need to, because without subsidies from the Ministry of Magic, a wand is quite expensive, and no one would be willing to spend such a high price on a useless 'stick'.
Therefore, the young Hufflepuff wizard concluded that Filch was already a true wizard, and judging from Filch's excited heart and trembling hands, this was very likely his first time using magic.
The first time he used magic, he was interrupted by himself and his wand was knocked away. This was a huge grudge, and it made the Hufflepuff student want to run away as fast as he could.
However, Hufflepuff's students are all kind-hearted, so when he saw Filch looking blank and clearly bewildered, he felt a pang of pity.
