Chapter 2018: The Giant Shadow Outside the Window
"What happened? Looking at Professor Snape's face just now, it seems that something is not quite right? ”
"Hasn't Professor Snape's face always been like that! It's as if everyone owes him Galleons...... However, it did seem strange to call Professor McGonagall out in the middle of a lecture. ”
Professor McGonagall had asked everyone to preview the rest of the lesson, and then followed Snape out of the classroom. And after that, the little wizards couldn't help but talk about it.
It must be said that since this is an extraordinary period, everyone basically knows more or less. So when this happens, most of the students can't help but feel a little uneasy.
"I just heard it mentioned earlier that Professor Snape seems to be saying to Professor McGonagall, 'Something is wrong...... Maybe something really isn't going on! ”
Because Snape didn't speak loudly before, and because he spoke relatively quickly, the students at the back of the seats didn't hear what he was saying clearly. However, there was no teacher by his side at this time, and the little wizards continued to spread the word one after another, and soon spread throughout the classroom.
However, when people are talking in words, the content will often gradually become distorted. By the time they reached the last row of the classroom, what Snape had said to McGonagall had become something completely alarming.
And the most important thing is that the little wizards who will sit in the back row are usually the type that is not very peaceful.
"Hey, I said...... Do you want to go out and have a look? ”
A curious little Gryffindor wizard looked at the increasingly thick fog on the side of the porthole, and couldn't help but whisper to the other students around him. And it is clear that this group of reckless lions cubs is not very afraid of possible dangers in the outside world.
Soon, he persuaded a few friends who had been together all the time, and everyone was a little eager to try.
Finally, he also said to Ens, who was also sitting not far away, by the way:
"Taon, do you want to come along?"
"No, no."
This class was taken by Hufflepuff with Gryffindor, and it was obviously not surprising that he would be here. It's just that Enns, who is actually more inclined to Slytherin in terms of personality, obviously doesn't have so much naïve psychology.
But to be honest, after going through those crises before, he has become much more settled. Otherwise, he might have wanted to go out and find out the truth right now—for a completely different reason than the little lions, of course.
But now, he just wanted to sit here and wait quietly. Because he knows that with his current ability, he is far from being able to deal with any trouble.
It wasn't long before he watched the Gryffindor boys sneak out the back door.
And it was the next moment, before he could continue to focus on the books on the theory of charms, that he saw another figure sneaking up from the seat in the middle of the classroom, hunched over.
"Anns, I heard what they said, and it seems a little ...... Well? What about the Bartlets? ”
Running down the aisle in the middle of the desk was Alexander, an "old friend" of Enns. I have to say that the relationship between the two of them has become closer in recent days, and they will also go to the aft deck again after class to practice together as in the past.
Of course, in fact, it was Ens who had completely lost his temper with Alexander's character, which seemed to him to be rather "dead-skinned". Although he has never admitted the relationship of this "best friend" in person, it is obvious that he has basically acquiesced.
Hearing Alexander ask, Ens casually pointed to the back door and said indifferently:
"I went out, saying I wanted to see what was going on...... A bunch of boys who don't know whether to live or die. ”
"Come on! Am you and I just a 'kid'? Alexander sat down at random on one of the empty seats next to him, shrugged his shoulders and said, "We all enrolled in the same year." ”
"Hmph, no matter how old you are, if you are psychologically naïve, you can only be a 'kid'!" Ens then raised his head and glanced at him, then continued, "Also, I think you're about the same—why don't you get back to your seat?" We are students, so we should do what students should do, and don't mix the rest. ”
When Alexander heard this, he couldn't help but scratch his head.
"Really?" He said with some confusion, "But...... Professor McLean will not mention it for now, after all, he dropped out of school and then became a professor again...... But aren't Mr. Porter and Miss Granger still students? ”
"Do you have what they are capable of?" Ens pursed his lips, shook his head again, and said, "Don't think about it here! If you want me to say, you have this kung fu, you might as well study more spells! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been chased and beaten by me during sparring lately, you know? ”
Since the last incident, Ens has hardly actively used the Slytherin staff since the last incident, as he remembers well that Maca had said that practicing with her wand would actually improve her spell casting. If you use too many auxiliary props that exceed your strength, you will regress because of dependence.
And perhaps it is precisely because of his mentality of immersing himself in hard work that he has made great progress recently. Originally, his real strength was not much better than Alexander's, but now, the latter is obviously a little behind.
"Okay!" At the mention of this, Alexander had to nod his head, "You have great ability, you have the final say!" ”
With that, he got up and went back to his seat. But who knew that at this moment, the Change, which was not very bumpy even if the waves outside were big on weekdays, suddenly shook for a moment, and then slowly leaned forward.
At this moment, Alexander, who was already hunched forward, suddenly lost his center of gravity, hit his head on the floor, and then fell down next to the desk of another classmate next to him with a "clang".
"What?"
"What's going on?"
"What's going on?"
This inexplicable shaking shocked all the little wizards in the classroom, and even Ens, who was very calm just now, couldn't help but hold on to the table and raise his head.
And at about the same time, the students sitting on the side of the porthole next to them suddenly exclaimed in low voices.
"Look outside!"
"Portholes! There's something out of the window—"
"And voila! I said I just saw something! ”
The last sound came from the first student who noticed the fog outside. And many people followed their line of sight and looked out, and through the small round porthole, everyone saw that the window was noticeably darker.
It's as if ...... Something very large moved around the Change.
"What's that?"
Ens also looked over there, frowning and whispering to himself.
