Seeing this, George quickly took out his wand and pointed it at a tapestry next to him.
"The true form is revealed!"
The tapestry separated from top to bottom, revealing a deep passage.
"Get in!" Fred said hastily. "We have to leave before that cat gets here!"
Not daring to delay, they hurried into the secret passage.
When George, who was at the end of the line, also went in, the tapestry immediately returned to its original appearance.
The next second, Mrs. Loris arrived.
It looked at the empty corridor, wandered around for a while with some confusion, and then left.

Chapter 71 Happy Poop Scooper
This secret passage seemed to be specially provided for people who travel at night. Its exit was not far from the castle, just behind the bushes near the Quidditch field.
After everyone came out, Fred and George quickly walked to the front, opened their arms and said, "Welcome to Hogwarts at night."
"This feeling is completely different from during the day, so enjoy it."
Both Cedric and Connor seemed a little excited.
For them, the experience of night tour was something they had never had before. While it was novel, they also felt an indescribable excitement in their hearts.
Kyle didn't feel anything special, but it was his first time seeing Hogwarts at night, so he couldn't help but look around curiously.
Hogwarts is exceptionally quiet at night, and the stars in the night sky emit soft light, just like night lights hanging on the castle.
It is beautiful and dreamy, yet quiet and peaceful.
Everyone stood there for a moment, until Fred reminded them, then they remembered that they still had important things to do. After coming to their senses, they walked towards the Forbidden Forest.
On the way, they made a big turn and deliberately avoided Hagrid's cabin.
Although Yaya is a little timid, he is a serious hunting dog after all, with keen hearing and sense of smell. If you get too close, he will probably notice you.
It just takes some time, but it's better than being dragged back to the castle by Hagrid.
After passing the wooden house, there was a wide forest in front of them. The Moon Crazy Beast's lair was not difficult to find. Under Kyle's leadership, they soon saw the lush guardian tree.
At this time, the Moon Crazy Beast just walked out of its nest.
They raised their long necks to look up at the sky, and there was a sharp contrast between their big heads and long, thin legs.
It looks like a miniature alpaca.
Quite cute.
In the moonlight, they slowly raised their front legs, and their two slightly stronger hind legs began to swing irregularly.
"The dance of the Moon Beast... This is the dance of the Moon Beast!" Cedric said excitedly, "I've only seen it in books before, and it's far worse than the live version!"
"Don't get excited. If they find you, you won't be able to see it." Kyle reminded in a low voice.
The Moon Beast is a very shy magical animal. If it finds other people around, it will shyly hide in its nest.
But Cedric was right.
The live version of the dance is indeed much better looking than the photos in the book.
But this is normal. Newt is just a socially anxious person who studies magical zoology. What does he know about taking pictures? Just watch it as it is.
The Moon Beast danced for a while, and seemed to start moving, with its dance steps becoming more complex and charming.
And with each step they took, some tiny silver-white spots of light gradually appeared on the ground behind them.
These spots of light became more and more numerous, spreading out like a stage under the feet of the Moon Crazy Beast.
The silvery-white "stage" and the moonlight in the sky complement each other, elevating their dance to another level.
"It's so beautiful..." Kanna's eyes were full of stars and she was mesmerized by the sight.
"Cough cough..."
Although it was a bit of a letdown, Kyle thought about it and whispered in her ear, "That silver thing is their feces."
"..."
The stars in Connor's eyes disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. She turned her head and looked at Kyle in disbelief.
"It's true." Kyle said calmly, "If you don't believe it, you can read the book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. It's written there."
Kanna: “…”
After learning that the Moon-Obsession was dancing on its own feces, she could never go back.
The graceful and complex dance before my eyes seemed to become boring.
Kanna was frantic.
She couldn't understand why Kyle told her this now. Couldn't he wait until after he finished watching it? !
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She turned around again and punched Kyle in the arm.
Fred and George next to them were in a similar mood. They also punched Kyle in annoyance and told him not to talk when he should.
Only Cedric was better off because he knew all of this.
Seeing that he had incurred public anger, Kyle quickly raised his hands in surrender and decisively admitted his mistake, "I was wrong!"
But it was no use, everyone was still staring at him, even Cedric was no exception.
There's no way. If I don't stare, I won't be able to fit in.
"Okay, let's put it another way." Kyle continued: "That thing is silver, and Xi Ke is also silver, do you know what that means?
Let me put it this way, if you work hard, you can probably harvest five in one night."
Fred and George took a deep breath and stopped condemning Kyle. They gathered together to discuss the matter.
Five Galleons a night, thirty-five a week, that's a semester...
The twins were a little dizzy and couldn't calculate it, but they were sure that it was a huge number.
And they still have six years to stay at Hogwarts.
With this windfall, even if they split it equally with Kyle and others, they could still open their own joke shop when they graduate.
Is the dream coming true just like that?
The two brothers hugged each other and cried with joy, almost jumping up with excitement.
After that, they no longer cared about anything else and just stared at the Moon Crazy Beast. When the silver spots of light stopped increasing, they rushed out instantly.
The moonbeasts were terrified and ran back to their dens, where Fred and George were collecting their droppings.
Probably because he thought the speed was too slow, Fred called Kyle and the others to join him.
However, Kyle and Cedric didn't move. Connor was a little hesitant, but was also pulled by Kyle.
"Well, won't you tell them the truth?" The honest man Cedric was a little conflicted.
The feces of the Moon Maniac is indeed valuable, but it has to be fresh. Also, it is not like Bibi Multi-Flavor Beans that can be sold just like that. It requires stable sales channels and customers.
Fred and George couldn't even leave Hogwarts, let alone go anywhere else, and Cedric really couldn't think of anyone they could sell the collected moon-crazy beast feces to.
And more importantly... this is Hogwarts.
Whether it's Hagrid's pumpkin patch or Professor Sprout's greenhouse, they both require a lot of fertilizer.
These fertilizers definitely weren't bought from outside.
"What truth? I don't understand what you mean." Kyle said innocently: "What I just said is the truth. That thing is really expensive."
Cedric pursed his lips and gave the twins a sympathetic look.
After a while, Kyle suddenly felt a little sleepy. He stepped forward and stopped the twins who were still happily cleaning up the poop. Despite their fierce opposition, he and Cedric forcibly dragged them out of the Forbidden Forest.

Chapter 72 Why Can't It Be You
As they were about to leave the Forbidden Forest, Fred and George finally accepted their fate and gave up struggling, but they were still not satisfied and kept complaining about Kyle's wasteful behavior.
"There are still a lot of them there. We at least wasted one Galleon."
Fred held up the hem of his robe, using it as a large pocket, which was filled with a small mountain of silver "moon sand".
George next to him has the same style, which makes them look like two kangaroos.
Kyle didn't say anything, just responded perfunctorily.
The main reason is that I really don't have much energy. It's already very late. After the initial novelty of seeing the Moon Beast dancing wore off, the sleepiness from staying up late started to come over me.
Now he just wanted to go back to the dormitory and have a good sleep in the warm and comfortable bed.
When they arrived at the edge of the forbidden forest, they suddenly heard a dog barking and heavy footsteps not far away.
Hagrid!
Several people were frightened and immediately lay down on the spot.
Kyle also took out his invisibility cloak as quickly as possible.
Although the cloak seemed a little small for five people and could not completely cover everyone, fortunately this was the forbidden forest, and the lush bushes around it also served as a good cover.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and they could already clearly see Hagrid's huge figure.
Kyle was lying at the front with his invisibility cloak propped up, so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe.
