❝ ANASTASIA MERLIN ❞

LILITH SURVEYED THE dimly lit corridor outside Filch's office with a sly grin, her eyes flickering with mischief.

Beside her, Evelyn clutched a small bag filled with stink bombs and firecrackers, their instruments of mayhem for the day.

The opportunity to unleash chaos on Argus Filch, Hogwarts' meticulous caretaker, had presented itself, and the duo was determined to make the most of it.

"Alright, Eve, let's do this," Lilith whispered, her eyes reflecting a mix of excitement and nervous anticipation.

Evelyn nodded, her heart racing with adrenaline. The plan was simple yet devious – infiltrate Filch's office, strategically place the stink bombs, and witness the ensuing chaos from a hidden vantage point.

With silent steps, they entered Filch's office, careful not to make a sound. The room, usually a haven of orderliness, felt like uncharted territory to the mischievous duo.

Lilith couldn't help but notice the odd assortment of magical artifacts and curious trinkets Filch had amassed over the years. It was a treasure trove waiting to be disrupted.

Lilith quickly grabbed a map of Hogwarts and folded it and kept it inside her pocket.

Evelyn stifled a giggle as they discreetly planted the stink bombs in the corners of the room. The pungent aroma promised to turn Filch's sanctuary into a place he'd be eager to escape. The anticipation of the impending chaos fueled their excitement.

As they tiptoed out of the room, Lilith couldn't resist a whispered comment to Evelyn. "This is going to be legendary."

Evelyn grinned, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Let's find a good spot to watch the show."

They settled into a concealed alcove, the faint sounds of Hogwarts echoing in the background. Lilith couldn't help but feel a surge of adrenaline as they waited for their plan to unfold.

The first stink bomb detonated with a muffled pop, sending a wave of foul odor through Filch's office.

Lilith and Evelyn exchanged knowing glances, barely containing their laughter. The air of confusion that followed was music to their mischievous ears.

Filch emerged from his office, his usually stern face now a canvas of bewilderment. Lilith bit her lip to stifle a laugh, watching as Filch scanned the room, searching for the source of the unexpected disturbance.

Lilith nudged Evelyn, unable to contain her amusement. "Here comes the fun part."

As Filch approached his desk, another stink bomb went off, intensifying the noxious scent.
