The Astronomy Tower at Hogwarts Castle has always been a very popular place. Fastest updates

Especially at the top of the tower, the top of the tower, as the highest point in the castle, has a very good view. Overlooking the tower, most of the vestibule is overlooked; And when you look up, the sky seems to be within reach.

So, even when it's not astronomy lessons, young wizards who like to be quiet tend to come here. Sometimes as long as you look up at the sky, whether it is the blue sky and white clouds or the starry moon, you can involuntarily calm down.

Even Dumbledore in the past would have wanted to come here to relax, especially when there were certain moments when he had to make a big decision.

In fact, it was here that Albus Dumbledore's brilliant life in this world ended.

And today, perhaps at about the same time, the round platform at the top of the Astronomy Tower ushered in two little ones who looked a little bit away.

"Anns, you should have said it now, right?"

Right now, just after the sunset had just sunk into the mountains, the sky in the western part of the country was still faintly red. But the night from the east has already taken up most of the heavenly wall, which seems to say that the arrival of night is already unstoppable.

At this moment, Alexander was holding the battlements on the perimeter of the high platform and looking absently at the school vestibule below.

It was clear from here that the makeshift market had been almost removed, and that Hagrid and Professor Sprout were working on restoring the turf, but it looked almost complete.

But Alexander didn't care about these things, after all, he didn't seem to enjoy this grand event much from the beginning. As for who is responsible for this......

Alexander didn't look back, for he knew that the guy who had wasted him all the weekend was now standing behind him!

“…… Say what? ”

At this moment, Ens stopped in the middle of the round platform, and he just craned his neck, staring at the gradually appearing stars on the celestial wall, consciously or unconsciously.

He wasn't interested in astronomy at all, but just admiring the deep starry sky above him was a different story.

"What do you think you should say?" Alexander was not satisfied with Ens's answer, "You promised to give me an explanation afterwards!" ”

However, Earns, who was tilting his head, pursed his lips a little impatiently.

"That's just your own words," he said dryly, "I don't remember ever saying anything to you!" ”

Hearing Ens play such a trick, Alexander finally couldn't help but turn around, and a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes also glared at the former.

"Hey! Enstapon! He said angrily, "Is your credibility and self-esteem so worthless?" ”

In response to Alexander's stern denunciation, Ens couldn't help but wave his hand after all.

"Okay, okay, if you want to know, I'll tell you," he said helplessly, "what else is 'credibility and self-esteem'...... I just think it's too much to talk about! ”

Immediately, Engston paused for a moment, spread his hands and asked, "So, what do you want to know?" ”

"All of them, of course!" Alexander said unceremoniously, "Just start with why you suddenly and silently delayed the practice of the spell!" ”

"Where do we have to start?" Hearing this, Ens couldn't help but gasp, "You kid is crazy!" ”

That being said, if you really want to explain it, you have to start from the beginning. So, since he stumbled upon the Hufflepuff Vault, Ens reluctantly gave Alexander an explanation.

Now, there is nothing bad to say about these things, because a series of events from the beginning to the end will now come to an end on Maca's side.

At least, that's what Ens had in mind.

But even though he had omitted as much as he could, he was relieved to finally tell the story of his being sent back by Maca.

"That's all you want to know," Ens said, rolling his eyes, "How's that, do you think it's useful after hearing it?" ”

Alexander didn't expect that in this short period of time, Ens would go through so many messy things. He pondered for a moment before shaking his head slightly.

"I don't know if it's useful, but ......," he said, looking at Anns, "you're going to be severely punished, I think it's certain." ”

"What's more," Ens pursed his lips, a hint of distress appeared on his gradually tense face, "maybe he will be ordered to drop out of school......

"That should ...... Not really, right? Alexander immediately shook his head, but his tone was uncertain.

This time Ens didn't speak again, he only felt a slight chill coming from his lower back, a gift from Salazar Slytherin that he had plucked from the huge black stone tablet that had been given to him by Salazar Slytherin over the millennia.

Of course, that might be a hassle as well.

"Anyway, I'm back this time thanks to Professor McLean's help, and I'm very satisfied to be alive." Ens said lightly, "As for dropping out of school or other punishments, I admit it." ”

"Alas"

Alexander sighed weakly.

He thought that after this series of riots, he might find a chance to reconcile with Enns. At least Ens was a friend, and he never intended to give up.

But now it seems that Ens has no heart to take care of these friends for the time being.

It was probably because Ens had been telling the story for a long time, and it was only then that Alexander belatedly realized that it was completely dark.

"It's not early, let's go back first!" He casually beckoned, "Didn't Professor McGonagall say that?" Going back to the common room early today......"

"I know."

Of course Ens knew, because it was based on Maca's message, and wasn't he just listening to it in the headmaster's office at the time?

However, just as the two of them were about to turn back and walk up the stairs, an inconspicuous dark shadow passed silently in the corner of the vestibule downstairs, and was inadvertently glimpsed by Alexander, who was closer to the outer edge of the platform.

"Wait"

He quickly stopped turning again, and craned his neck to look at the vestibule under the cover of night.

"Something seems to have ...... just now"

In fact, Alexander couldn't guarantee whether he was dazzled or not, after all, the moon often hid behind flowing clouds tonight, and the thin moonlight was not enough to dispel the darkness of the night.

"What do you see?"

Ens, who had just experienced many dangers, had always been nervous today, and even for these seemingly seemingly chasing after the wind, he couldn't let himself relax at all.

As he spoke, he also looked down at the wall stack, but he didn't immediately notice anything unusual.

"Over there," Alexander said, holding out his hand and pointing to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, "I seem to have seen a small figure there, as if it had entered the woods. ”

When Ens heard this, he did not speak, but stared for a moment at the approximate location that Alexander was referring to. The two of them were separated by a wall, and they were both carefully watching to see if there would be any movement over there.

But after a while, apart from the gentle swaying of the night breeze through the canopy of the Forbidden Forest, the two of them did not see any special movement again.

“…… Are you mistaken? ”

"Uh...... Maybe? ”

Anns, who didn't wait for any signs, couldn't help but ask. Alexander's inaccurate answer inevitably made him pat his forehead heavily.

"I'll see it clearly next time."

Before he could finish complaining, he saw that a figure that the two of them had not been able to find finally appeared, but the figure had passed from the side of the castle, not in the forbidden forest.

"Who's that?"

Ens looked down with his head down, but since the other man seemed to be wearing a cloak, he couldn't see anything from their point of view.

But after a while, the two of them noticed that the man seemed to be walking in the direction of Hagrid's hunting lodge.

"Huh?"

Just as Ens was trying to get some clues, Alexander suddenly let out a soft sigh, as if he had found some clues first.

"What's wrong again?" Ens asked casually.

"It seems like the winner of today's alchemy contest," Alexander said, "I recognize her cane full of skulls!" ”

"Champion?"

Alexander, who stayed in the arena at the time, had watched the game, so he was very impressed with the old witch, and Enns, who had barely watched the game, certainly did not know.

"One of the two leaders of the African delegation, who is said to have a great reputation in the African wizarding community......" Alexander said, hesitating again, "but since the actual award ceremony was held in the chamber of the International Federation of Wizards, it seems that the delegation has already returned in the evening, right?" ”

"Did you see them leave?" Ens immediately asked rhetorically.

“…… Not really. Alexander shook his head, "Well, she probably wants to stay at Hogwarts for a visit, right?" Or, there are acquaintances of her at school? ”

"Who knows?"

Ens thought about it, and although he didn't think there was anything suspicious, he felt in his heart that something was not right.

"Forget it, maybe I'm thinking too much......"

Even he knew that today's encounter might have made him too nervous. Just thinking of the words that Maca had sent back to the silver eagle, he couldn't convince himself that everything he saw at this time was a coincidence.

After all, Maca had been instructed in advance to "make sure there was no one outside the castle."

"No," Ens said with a frown, "I still think it's a little suspicious......
