It was not until Dumbledore left that George and Fred came back to their senses.
“What’s going on…”
Fred stared at the surroundings in a daze, speaking in a dreamy tone.
“Are we sleepwalking?”
George crawled out of his sleeping bag and shivered in the cold wind.
“Hey! What’s going on, Scott!” He walked up to Scott with a funny expression, “Is this… the Astronomy Tower?”
“Yes.” Scott grinned, “Congratulations, Fred, George! You are geniuses! You actually learned to Apparate in your sleep!”
After saying that, he stretched out his hands and clapped a few times in a fake manner.
George stared at Scott with his eyes wide open. After a few seconds, he slowly turned his head and looked at Fred who was walking over.
He said indignantly: “Fred, this gentleman treats us as fools! But it is obvious that even Ron will not believe such nonsense!”
Fred shrugged his shoulders, “Maybe Mr. Trollope thinks he has a sense of humor?”
“What’s going on?” George put his arms around Scott’s shoulders, clamped his neck tightly, and asked in a threatening tone, “Why did we run to the Astronomy Tower after falling asleep? Why is Dumbledore here?”
Fred coughed twice and looked at him seriously, “You’d better tell the truth, Mr. Trollope.”
“I’ll tell you.”
Scott broke free from George’s arms, sat on the ground, and took out the wrinkled Marauder’s Map from his arms.
He smoothed the map, spread it on the ground, and motioned the twins to look at it with him.
The twins also sat on the ground and came over.
George took out his wand and cast an illumination spell, then exclaimed.
“What happened?” he asked in confusion, “Not only Dumbledore, but also Professor Flitwick and Snape, the old bat, they are all in the headmaster’s office!”
“Professor McGonagall went to the Gryffindor common room!” Fred said.
Then, his tone changed immediately, “No! How could it be, Ginny and Professor McGonagall are together!”
“Did our little sister also learn to wander at night and was caught by Professor McGonagall?” George looked at Scott with a questioning look, but his expression was a little uneasy.
“Good job, Ginny! She is worthy of being our little sister!”
Fred didn’t think so much, he looked very happy.
“It’s a pity that she was caught. But it doesn’t matter, the first time is always not so perfect. We were also caught by Filch in the first year!”
“Shut up, idiot!” George reached out and pushed him, looking at Scott again, “This is wrong! What do you know, Scott?”
“Don’t worry, George. Don’t forget that Dumbledore is here.” Scott could only say this, “Ginny will be fine.”
“What are you talking about?” Fred looked at George’s gloomy face.
“What happened?”
George’s face turned pale, and he suddenly raised his voice.
“Who moved us from the third floor to here? Why didn’t we feel anything during the process?”
“It was me.” Scott said.
George was rarely serious. He seemed to have noticed something and stared into Scott’s eyes and asked, “Why did you do this, Scott?”
Scott chose to speak frankly, “If you wake up, I think you will definitely rush to find Ginny. That’s too dangerous.”
“Dangerous?”
George and Fred became anxious at the same time.
“I have to find Ginny!”
George stood up hurriedly.
“What happened to Ginny!”
Fred also stood up.
“Ginny is fine.” Scott said soothingly.
He clapped his hands, motioned them to sit down, and pointed to the Marauder’s Map.
“Ginny is fine now. She has arrived at the principal’s office. It’s safe there, isn’t it? Sit down, I’ll tell you what I know.”
These two guys will know about this anyway, and he has no reason to hide it from them.
“You’re a bastard!” George hesitated for two seconds, said dissatisfiedly, and sat down again.
Fred had no choice but to sit down. He asked anxiously, “Did Ginny get kidnapped by the heir while she was out at night, and was later rescued by Dumbledore?”
“No.” He said again, “She was clearly in the dormitory just now!”
“Listen to me.” Scott waved his hand.
He organized his words, thought about how to tell the twins, and then slowly started talking.
“…When I first saw Ginny on the Marauder’s Map, I thought she was just learning from you and couldn’t sleep and ran out for a night tour.”
“There was only her name on the map, no one else, so I didn’t care about it. I thought she might want to enjoy a late-night tour of Hogwarts alone.”
“You’re wrong, Scott.” Fred frowned, “Ginny is different from us, I don’t think she’s that keen on night tours.”
“Don’t interrupt!” George glared at him, and Fred immediately shut up.
Scott continued to tell the story.
“It wasn’t until she came to the corridor on the third floor that I started to feel something was wrong.”
“Just when I wanted to wake you up, she went into the women’s bathroom again. So I gave up the idea again.”
“After she came out of the women’s bathroom, she walked directly to the classroom where we were. At that time, I thought that maybe I could wait until she came to the door and open it to say hello to her.”
“But I found something wrong before I opened the door.”
He lowered his voice.
George and Fred stared at him closely, holding their breath subconsciously.
“Ginny is followed by a big guy!”
Scott said in a tone of reading a horror novel.
“I heard the sound of the big guy crawling on the ground, and she was talking to it in a strange voice, hissing, sounding like snake language.”
“Are you kidding?” Fred said loudly as if by reflex.
“This is impossible.” George’s face turned even paler, “She… Ginny is just an 11-year-old little witch who just entered school, and she is a Gryffindor!”
Scott continued to talk to himself: “I hesitated! Guys! I felt the danger, especially when the big guy started to knock on the door.”
Here he slightly changed the real order of events.
“Fortunately, the spell I cast on the door can resist for a while.” He said thankfully.
Then he told the story of how he brought the two to the astronomy tower.
Fred couldn’t help but yelled, “Ginny is the ‘heir’? We were knocked unconscious by you and then taken to the sky by the eagle transformed by Transfiguration? Merlin, this is crazy!”
“It’s cool to fly to the sky like that, but I’m not in the mood to get excited about it now.” George said worriedly, “Ginny…what’s wrong with her?”
“I think she may have accidentally come into contact with some bad people or dark magic items.” Scott said, “You also said that she is an 11-year-old Gryffindor witch. I suspect she is controlled by magic.”
The twins began to fidget.
“Anyway, do you think there is anything wrong with her recently?” Scott asked again.
“Oh Merlin’s stinky socks!” Fred said in annoyance, “Ginny… She has been unhappy and in a bad mood recently. We… and Percy and Ron, we all thought she was just sick!”
George nodded, “We also turned into feathers to tease her, we just wanted to make her laugh.”
Fred said in horror: “Fortunately Ginny was found and is now with Dumbledore! Otherwise, if anything happened to her, Mom and Dad would definitely beat our butts!”
Scott said: “After something like this, I think Dumbledore will call your parents to the college soon.”
At this point, he took another look at the Marauder’s Map.
“Oh! I think we can’t stay here any longer, Professor McGonagall is coming over.”
“Very good, Mr. Trollope, Mr. Weasley. You have violated many school rules in total!”
Professor McGonagall’s stern voice was full of anger.
“Professor Dumbledore said that he asked you to go back to bed, but obviously, you didn’t listen!”
“Professor!”
The three of them stood up quickly, and George hid the Marauder’s Map behind him.
“My sister!” he said anxiously, “Ginny…”
“Of course Miss Weasley is fine, Dumbledore will solve her problems.”
Professor McGonagall’s expression eased for a moment, then she frowned again and looked at them sternly.
“This matter ends here for you, follow me! You should go to my office and reflect on yourself!”
