Chapter 1638: A Reversed Attitude
"Now you're satisfied? We were both locked up in this little dark room with nothing to do - two of us together! Do you think that's interesting? If you hadn't had to entangle with me, I would have been in France by now! ”
"Hey, isn't it just a confinement? If we had changed to school, we would have to wipe the trophies for the night, but at least we wouldn't have to wipe the deck here......"
In a small, empty room in the cabin, Alexander and Ens were sitting on opposite sides facing each other against the wall on the floor. At first, Alexander wanted to sit on the same side as Enns, but Ens kicked him to the opposite side.
And as the two said, they were locked up - no student at Hogwarts would dare to oppose Professor McGonagall's decision, and neither did the boys.
After a moment of silence, Alexander scratched his scalp and suddenly couldn't help asking:
"Ness, can you tell me about your cane? Why...... How much growth will a wand give to your strength? ”
Just across from him, Ens glanced at him a little listlessly, and then pouted:
"It's okay to be idle, it doesn't matter if I tell you...... Anyway, everyone who should know about this file knows almost everything! Do you remember the elixir? That time, with the power of the Lucky Potion, I stumbled upon a secret room in our Hufflepuff dorm...... Then I got a letter from Helgar, which led me to the Slytherin chambers. ”
"Ahh
Alexander listened to this, and suddenly as if he remembered something, he patted his thigh and said:
"I remember! You've been secretly studying Old English all this time...... I see, are you trying to decipher the contents of the letter? I thought it was ...... I thought you wanted to learn ancient magic from Professor McLean! ”
"Tsk," Ens said impatiently, interrupted by him, "do you want to hear it any more...... Besides, I'm not the slightest bit interested in that ancient script! Oh, just learning a little Saxon-Photokwen is enough for me! ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head, as if recalling the bad feeling of burying his head in a book in the first place. Then, he waved his hand and continued:
"Anyway, after that, I passed the test again and followed the instructions from the Slytherin Chamber to the catacombs of Helpo-"
"Yes, it was the time I 'disappeared', and although I was almost preempted by that Malfoy from Slytherin, I got there first. I saw a huge monument that was holding him down, and the cane was stuck on top of the huge black monument...... There, I met Salazar Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts—"
"Slytherin still alive?" When Alexander heard this, he couldn't help but be subconsciously surprised.
But Earns rolled his eyes at him, not even bothering to say anything like "shut up". Because he knew that the kid in front of him was so strong that his stinky temper didn't play much of a role most of the time.
So, after seeing Engston pause, he continued:
“…… Although it is not surprising that he is alive, after all, Helbo can live longer. Unfortunately, though, all I saw was an apparition left behind by Slytherin. ”
At this point, Ensden recalled the scene when Helmo broke free from the seal. If Maca hadn't appeared in time, it is estimated that he would be gone by now.
Then, it was Slytherin who made me pull his staff, and Helbo broke free from the seal and ran out from under the great stele...... Well, Slytherin seems to have some other plans, but ...... Maybe something went wrong? I didn't figure it out either......"
Alexander on the other side looked confused, and at the end, he couldn't help tilting his head and saying:
"How did I hear so confused?"
"Because, I'm confused myself."
Ens wasn't in the mood to mess with his stinky temper at this moment, because it had been bothering him all along. This time, he wanted to leave the Change and go to Maca's side, but he actually had the intention of trying to clear this doubt for himself.
After a short while, Ens sighed and said:
"Well, you've heard the story you're trying to hear, and I think you're a complete idiot who understands why I'm going to trouble Helmo, right?"
"Oh! Well...... First of all, I'm not an 'idiot'! But...... Yes, if it were me, I would probably be like you......"
As he spoke, Alexander suddenly seemed to realize something, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
"Oh! Oh! I see—are you feeling guilty for inadvertently unleashing Helmo's big devil, that's why you're ......" Alexander stared at Ens and smiled a little subtly, "No wonder you say 'obligated to deal with Helmo instead of Mr. Slytherin', you just feel embarrassed!" ”
"Shut your mouth!"
Ens couldn't help but say this sentence in the end, but sure enough, Alexander on the other side still didn't feel embarrassed at all, and the smile on his face was more than just now.
Seeing this, Ens was so angry that he subconsciously touched his back again.
"Damn, I shouldn't have spared you on the deck before, if I had burned you to ashes with a fire, look how you laugh now!"
"Hey! Don't, don't get excited—I don't laugh anymore. Alexander hurriedly waved his hand, "Although this change has fire prevention magic, the normal fire spell can't be lit at all, but if you use that Slytherin cane, you can't say for sure...... You know, Professor McLean borrowed the ship from Durmstrang! If you accidentally burn it, the professor will come back and get you in trouble! ”
"You still need to say it! Am I not as stupid as you are? ”
As he spoke, Ens sighed again, muttering to himself with a sullen face:
"Hell yes...... If I had volunteered to double the confinement time, would Professor McGonagall agree to let me switch up with you? ”
When Alexander heard this, he immediately shrugged his shoulders.
"Give it up! Stay here tonight......" he said with his arms folded, then there was silence for a while, and then he said coldly, "That's right! Speaking of which...... When the confinement ends early tomorrow morning, do you still have any plans to find a new time to leave? ”
His words finally made Ens turn his head around again with a hesitant expression.
"You...... What do you mean? ”
