HP: I beat the otome game at Hogwarts

Chapter 189 Lucky Twins

Professor McGonagall examined it and found that there didn't seem to be anything too unusual.

After all, most people stayed behind to watch the excitement, so everyone's expressions were incredibly obedient, and they didn't dare to breathe too loudly. They were carrying schoolbags, textbooks, and the like, with no contraband in their hands, and their wands were all neatly kept in their pockets.

It didn't look like a group fight, so Professor McGonagall secretly felt relieved. She then signaled everyone to follow her to the Great Hall for a meal.

Everyone lined up like chicks and followed Professor McGonagall toward the Great Hall. Fred and George seemed to be walking obediently, but in reality, they had exchanged countless messages with their eyes.

"We're safe!"

May Merlin protect you!

"It must be that God heard my prayers that sent Professor McGonagall to save us—"

"Then why didn't you choose the most amiable and easy-going Professor Sprout?"

"Dude, have you forgotten that the whole bunch we just blew up this morning were Hufflepuffs—"

The two redheads, who were excitedly winking and exchanging glances, suddenly felt a chill on the back of their necks. Before they could turn around, they heard Lyra lean over and whisper in their ears, "You two just wait."

In the span of half a day, the news that Cedric of Hufflepuff and his friends had been tricked by the Weasley brothers with a stinking mud trap and blown up in a foul stench had spread throughout the castle. Everyone who needed to know knew, and everyone who shouldn't know also knew.

Even Durmstrang, who lived in a large ship anchored on the Black Lake, heard about it, because when Viktor Krum came to chat with his "Hermione" at noon, he asked about it.

“Dear Hermione,” Ron said, making a vomiting motion behind a large tub of chilled pumpkin juice, “he obviously doesn’t have a sensitive tongue, does he? Just like his clumsy limbs.”

Hermione was completely oblivious to Ron's disgusting impersonation; she was sitting on the other side of the long table, chatting animatedly with Krum.

Harry thinks there will probably be another little arm under Ron's bed tonight—the day after Hermione and Krum danced, Harry found a little arm under Ron's bed that looked like it had been broken off from the little mannequin wearing the Bulgarian Quidditch team uniform.

"I knew Fred and George wouldn't let that Hufflepuff gigolo cling to Lyra all the time. It's a shame I didn't see Diggory fall into the mud pit, but judging from Lee Jordan's description, Fred and his gang really pulled off something big this time..."

"...That mud trap thing will definitely be all the rage at Hogwarts starting tomorrow. If I ask George and Fred for one, do you think they might give me one...?"

Ron, however, thought Fred and George were quite lucky this time.

"Look, they didn't get points deducted by the professor because they weren't caught in the act. Obviously, there's no evidence to prove that they were the ones who committed the crime. Of course, although everyone knows... everyone applauded their actions this time. Think about how many boys hate Diggory... and Lyra didn't beat them to a pulp."

It is said that Fred and George were later cornered in the boys' dormitory by Lyra and beaten up, but only to a minor degree—because Fred and George promised to apologize to Cedric Diggory.
