Chapter 668: Cold Eyes Under Blonde Hair
Consuming a precious elixir chocolate, he managed to lure Filch away, but now he somehow followed.
What is he going to do?
Not to mention that asking others about this kind of thing would be incomprehensible, in fact, even Ens himself did not know. All he knew now was that the wonderful power born of the elixir of blessing was clearly guiding him, and he should follow it!
The underground corridors of Hogwarts are winding. Ens followed Filch not far behind, holding the crumpled tapestry in control, sprinting forward in the darkness ahead. Soon, the corners were turned, and the portraits were left behind, and even the staircase leading to the foyer was ignored.
Fortunately, most of the portraits in the underground corridors depict food, scenery, or all kinds of strange and magical creatures, and even if there are a few portraits of people occasionally, most of them are napping in the middle of the night. When they were in a daze, they heard the movement and opened their eyes, but Filch and Ens had already run over.
Not to mention the thoughts in Enns's head at the moment, Filch was now extremely annoyed. In his heart, the person who "ran" in front of him must be a student, and he has made up his mind to investigate to the end.
If he can catch this little devil who dares to wander around at night, he will definitely teach him a good lesson, and then "escort" the other party to the principal's office overnight, so as to make this matter more popular. In this way, not to mention that he can vent his annoyance in recent days, and he can also make those little rabbit cubs increase their memory, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
However, just as Filch was chasing after him with a strange feeling of anger and excitement, Ens suddenly felt that the tapestry he controlled with the levitation charm seemed to hit something, and he was stunned halfway through.
And it was at this moment that Enns's mind suddenly lit up - you know, there was more than just Hufflepuff in the Hogwarts underground corridor. Somewhere on the other side of the corridor is another common room known as the Slytherin Dungeon!
The underground corridor is a stone passage with an unobstructed view, not to mention the middle, and there are not many obstacles near the stone walls on both sides. Then there is no doubt that the tapestry that is flying close to the ground must have hit someone.
And, most likely, it was some Slytherin student who was also out hanging out tonight.
Thinking of this, Ens immediately swung his wand to the side, and the tapestry, which had already flown over the next corner, suddenly bypassed some suspicious "obstacle" and was thrown deeper into the corridor with the sound of the wind. The next moment, Filch had already turned the corner in high spirits, and a hearty cry resounded through the corridor.
"Stop! I got caught, right? Haha......"
To put it more realistically, the Slytherin is much more convergent than in the past, and the relationship between the four major houses is not relaxed, at least there is no tendency to continue to deteriorate.
But grudges are grudges, and it is impossible to get back together in a short period of time, and the senses of other houses towards Slytherin are always not good. In addition, Ens doesn't feel much guilt at all about these things that have been framed, and he can be said to be indifferent to anyone who has nothing to do with him.
When Ens heard Filch's cries of joy, he knew that what the Elixir had guided him to do was done.
Immediately, he just poked his head from the base of the wall to the other side of the corner.
Since there was no Filch lantern to illuminate it, even if someone looked at him in the dark situation, it would not be true. So he boldly glanced in that direction a few times, wanting to see which unlucky ghost was so pitiful, and he gave him a cold hand.
At first glance, he saw a touch of gold that was very eye-catching, and it immediately came into his field of vision. And at the second glance, a cold and indifferent face made his heart skip a beat.
But then at the third glance, when the gloomy gaze that was slightly hidden by golden bangs stabbed straight towards Ens, he retracted his head almost as fast as he could, and his scalp tightened.
"Let's go!"
At that moment, this word flashed through his mind, clear and concise, but he couldn't resist it. He understood that this was also a guide for him to be given by the elixir...... Or rather, it's a very clear warning.
So, without hesitation, he straightened up, turned and ran. Behind him, Filch's teasing and reprimands continued, only to fade away as the distance quickly widened, and soon he could no longer hear clearly.
This spurt made Ens gasp involuntarily. When he felt as if he couldn't run anymore, he was shocked to realize that he had actually returned to the vicinity of the Hufflepuff common room.
"Whew...... Call...... Hiss ......"
He held on to the pile of barrels at the entrance to the common room, gritting his teeth and gasping for breath. The cool air of the night slightly extinguished the burning heat in his chest, and also re-energized his sore legs.
ββ¦β¦ Phew, that guy...... Who exactly? β
Usually he doesn't pay much attention to the existence of other people, even if they belong to the same college, let alone people from other colleges. But just that look just now made him have to engrave the other party deeply in his heart.
Yes, the moment they met the other party's gaze, Ens felt a chill in his heart. He knew it was a premonition of extreme danger that he couldn't ignore.
"Look at the man's house robes are trimmed with green, it should be Slytherin......" Ens thought to himself as he tapped the lid of a barrel with his wand quickly and rhythmically as he struck the lid of a barrel a few times, "is that a senior?" What a scary look...... Huh, though...... Interesting ......"
Although a little cold sweat was already oozing from his back because of the previous gaze that was only for a few seconds at best, his expression was not only surprised, but also a little proud sneer.
"Although the old man in the family said that he was unreliable anywhere, he was right in the words before he sent me...... Hogwarts isn't easy," he muttered to himself, "wizards, potions, spells...... What a fun thing! Did my mother deal with these things all the time when she was alive......"
In a moment of thought, he walked quickly into the doorway where the barrel had been moved. And as he entered, the door closed and disappeared as the removed barrels rolled silently one by one.
β¦β¦
In fact, Ens didn't spend enough time to drink a cup of black tea when he ran back and forth. When he returned to the familiar common room after all the twists and turns, it seemed as if nothing had changed.
The room was still dim, and the dots of fluorescence outside the round window were still dancing up and down, emitting a soft light. The many bonsai plants in the lounge are still the fresh fragrance of the spreader, adding a little bit of nature to the air here.
Ens casually picked a chair and sat down on it to take a good breath and soothe Shicai's tense nerves. It was only after a few minutes that he had cleared his breath and got up again and walked towards the vaulted underground passage that led to the dormitory.
Due to the short amount of time, even the partially expired Elixir chocolate has not yet exhausted its medicinal properties, which is really a bit too wasteful. But there is no way, this is a bedroom at night right now, and it seems that it is inconvenient to do nothing but go back to sleep.
So Ens could only return to the dormitory quietly in the dark with great regret.
ββ¦β¦ Speaking of which, did I almost get sorted into Slytherin when I was sorted? β
Ens, who was walking in the passage, suddenly paused, and couldn't help but secretly say that he was lucky. Although he was confident enough that as long as he continued to work hard, he would definitely be able to become a wizard comparable to McClane and Dumbledore in the future, but it was definitely impossible at the moment.
He can be proud, but he will not be blinded by pride. At least he could understand that his current self was definitely not comparable to the owner of the previous pair of eyes.
"Now, I've seen a great character, but ......," Enns stopped and measured silently in the dark, "I've been listening to others talk about Professor McLean's deeds, and my ears are almost calloused...... But how much skill does that guy have? It's ...... than the Slytherin just now. Well, it should be stronger, right? β
He thought about it for a while, but finally shook his head. It seems too early for him to think about these things now, so let's go down to earth and practice hard!
Having buried all the chaotic thoughts in his mind first, Ens took another step and quietly walked forward.
To be honest, Ens almost thought that tonight was over. Now that drowsiness and exhaustion are coming again, as long as he returns to the bedroom and burrows into the bed, he can sleep until the next morning. And the rest of the things will be left to tomorrow!
However, just as he touched the door of the bedroom according to the route he remembered, and was about to open the door lightly and go back to sleep, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, causing his hand to touch the doorknob to freeze.
This time the feeling was extremely strong, so strong that he himself was shocked. In the next second, he suddenly turned his head and looked into the depths of the passage.
It was dark in front of him, and he could only see darkness from a little distance, but he couldn't help but look over.
"There...... What's there? β
