Chapter 1641: Old Accounts Revisited
The torrential rain is still pouring down from the sky, and it is particularly strong with the help of the strong wind, making it difficult to even open your eyes when standing in the rain.
Thunder rolled above the clouds, and lightning lingered aimlessly inside. From time to time, a thunderclap falls, which can always make people's hearts tremble.
Because the dark clouds that seemed to be pressed down at any moment completely covered the sunlight that should have been, it was even more gloomy than the night, even though it was daytime.
At this moment, if you are standing on the deck of the Change, wrapped in storms, showers, thunder, and huge waves, you will definitely feel the helplessness and panic as if you are isolated by the whole world.
This is undoubtedly a kind of shock that nature can show.
And it's exactly in this situation, if all of a sudden a voice comes through the chaos of noise behind you...... I think the vast majority of people will be taken aback!
For now, the reaction of Ens and Alexander is the best proof of this.
ββ¦β¦ Where are you going? β
When the two men who had just stepped out of the cabin and onto the deck heard this indistinct voice coming from behind themselves, they both subconsciously froze.
Listening to the voice, it seems to be more mature - at least certainly not the same age as the two of them. So...... Is it a professor? Or is it some senior student?
However, when Ens and Alexander each slowly turned to look. only to find that the other party was actually wrapping his whole body in a hooded waterproof cloak, and the strong wind was blowing non-stop, but it wrapped the other party more and more tightly.
At this moment, Enns's whole body tensed, and he didn't take the initiative to speak, but Alexander, who was more optimistic and generous by nature, couldn't help but dry and tentatively said:
"We ...... Just trying to find something. As you may know, yesterday we practiced dueling on deck and were confined by Professor McGonagall...... It wasn't until later that we found out that one of my magic books about Defence Against the Dark Arts might have accidentally dropped on the deck at that point. β
Alexander's explanation is reasonable, but if it had been someone else, he might have agreed. It's a pity that the figure standing in front of them now is unlikely to believe his innocent lie.
"The magic book is gone? Hum...... Okay! Then hurry up and find it! It's too late, but it's going to be blown away by the wind...... When the time comes, you may have to take a lifeboat to the surface of the sea to find it! Isn't it? β
The man in the cloak who came out with the two of them at this time was naturally Malfoy.
And obviously, even after so many terrible encounters that are difficult to describe, his habit of ridiculing others has not changed much, which is probably a strange thing, big or small.
However, I have to say that his two sarcastic words did accurately hit the heart of Ens and Alexander.
"You-"
Alexander squinted his eyes in the rain and looked at Malfoy with a slightly stunned and complicated expression, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
And Ens, who noticed that he seemed to be a little speechless, only then did he speak a little helplessly:
"It looks like you've heard some of our conversations...... That being the case, well! I'll admit, we didn't lose any spell books, we just wanted to leave the Change! So, are you satisfied? β
In Alexander's slightly surprised eyes, Ens simply told the truth to the other party. Seeing this, Alexander opened his mouth as if to stop him, but was blocked by Ens with a casual wave of his hand.
Immediately afterwards, he changed his words again:
"But...... Sir, I don't think you're acting very upright, are you? You sneakily followed us to the deck, and as soon as you came up, you spoke coldly to us. If you're a professor, I'm sure it's Professor Snape, but you're still very different from him! β
At this, Ens couldn't help but shake his head.
"Oh, yes! And also...... Honestly, your voice and the tone of your voice have actually reminded me of a manβI said, Mr. Malfoy, did you follow us up to the deck in the wind and rain just to make a few more sarcastic remarks about us? β
"Malfoy?"
This time, Draco was not surprised, but Alexander, who was standing next to Enns, was taken aback.
"You mean...... He was a sixth ...... of Slytherin House Oh no, fifth grader, Draco Malfoy? β
Seriously, Malfoy didn't react much when he was broken by Ens's words, but he was provoked by Alexander's "slip of the tongue".
After all, the fact that he was repeated at the beginning still makes him very nostalgic.
"That's right! You guessed it, I'm Draco Malfoy, a fifth-grader! "But even then, I'm going to be a few grades older than youβbelieve it or not, I'm going to talk to Professor Snape now, and he'll lock you up in a dark room again?" You know, this time it's definitely not just a night of confinement! β
"Oh, Mr. Malfoy! I mean, I'm sorry I just accidentally said the wrong thing, but I didn't mock you in the other way around! Alexander hurriedly waved his hand.
But of course, Ens didn't mean to apologize, because he obviously didn't have any need to apologize. I saw him frowning slightly, and said calmly:
"Mr. Malfoy, I don't know if you remember what happened between us - after all, Professor McLean told me earlier that you were under the influence of the dark arts, and that what you were doing wasn't 'entirely' out of your heart."
As he spoke, Ens paused for a moment, and then continued:
"However, the 'unfriendly' actions you have done to me are always the actual facts."
"Huh?"
When Malfoy heard this, he couldn't help but pout:
"Why, could it be that you still expect me to feel guilty about this, so I let you go straightforwardly? I'll tell you, while everything that happened was out of my control, my words and deeds are still in my mind - to be honest, it was your luck that I didn't kill you in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets! β
"Hmph, isn't it!" Ens couldn't help but sneer, "At that time, if I didn't have the medicinal support of the elixir, it is estimated that even if I don't die, I will probably take half of my life from you...... However, I'm not here to settle old scores with you today, and in the current situation, no one has the time to dwell on what has happened! β
"And I want to...... You're the same, right? β
