"Bell, bell! Crunch bang! ”

When the metal knife made the maddening sound on the plate again, Malfoy finally threw the knife and fork down the table in annoyance, frowning and leaning back against the back of the chair.

On the walls, the small wall clock was still ticking, and the sea water outside the portholes was still beating against the outer walls, and the sound of the rain was disturbing.

This torrential rain has been going on all night since it started falling late last night.

"Whew"

After a few moments, Malfoy seemed to realize that it would be useless for him to be so bored. So he couldn't help but let out a long breath, trying to calm himself down.

And then, I saw him draw his wand casually and make a gentle gesture at the bed.

The spellbook that had been placed at the head of the bed just jumped for a moment, and then it fell to the floor with another "bang" sound.

Obviously, since the key to the silent spell technique is concentration, the chances of failure in a mental state like his current one are of course high.

"Damn," Malfoy cried softly, tugging at the corners of his mouth, "Books flying!" ”

This time, with a clear spell as a support, with his spell casting level, of course, nothing would go wrong, and the thick magic book finally jumped up as it should have been, and fell into his palm.

Then, he put down the wand in his hand, turned the page, and continued to read where he had stuffed the bookmark, since his mind was always thinking about everything when he was idle, it was better to fill it with magical knowledge, so that at least he would not have time to taste the powerlessness in his heart again.

"......'Silencer is a spell of high combat value, it can be used to silence footsteps, hide the sound of chanting, and even be used to mask the crackling sound of apparition shifting when it is unskilled'...... Oh, this damn thunderstorm, I think I should put a silencer spell on this chamber right now! ”

After only a few lines of reading, Malfoy was startled by a loud thunderclap that distracted him again.

But at this moment, a series of footsteps sounded outside the hatch, mixed with the muffled thunder and rain outside the ship, which seemed slightly indistinct.

Malfoy frowned again at the sound of footsteps approaching.

"Is Parkinson's again?"

Yes, of course, Pansy has been running this way from time to time, just like she did at Hogwarts. ...... in this regard To be honest, Malfoy himself has gotten used to it, as the relationship between the two has been like this since childhood.

On the contrary, it has been recently...... Pansy seems to have a different feeling for him than before, what can I say? More attention-grabbing?

However, the owner of the string of footsteps outside was clearly not Pansy, who had passed by the door of the cabin where Malfoy was, and was soon gone.

Malfoy shook his head as he listened, and then his gaze returned to the page in his hand.

However, this time he still couldn't immerse himself in the book for too long.

That is, more than ten minutes later, the string of footsteps that had just walked over was again from far and near, and this time there was obviously one more person. It's just that the other step seems a little light, and under the background sound of thunder and rain, you may not be able to hear it without listening carefully.

It's just that the two of them were lowering their voices to talk about what they were talking about, but they were still heard a few words by Malfoy, who was listening intently with nothing to do.

“…… Broadside ...... Spare boats...... Waves...... Cover up ......"

"Shut up...... Let's talk about it when we go up. ”

"Huh?" Malfoy raised an eyebrow.

Although the conversation between the two men was brief and careful, just a few words were enough for him to hear some clues.

"Is this a sneak away from the Change?"

He thought for a moment, then gently closed the magic book in his hand and placed it casually on the table. After he looked left and right, he took a waterproof cloak from the closet, put it in a bag, and then walked softly to the hatch with his wand in hand.

And after just a short while, the footsteps outside have become much farther away.

"Silence and silence."

Before heading out, Malfoy waved his wand and pointed at his feet, clearly agreeing with the description of the silencer in the book.

……

At this moment, Ens and Alexander, who had just passed by the door of Malfoy's cabin, naturally did not realize that the brief conversation between the two had attracted a "caring person".

They walked down the hallway, the wooden floor under their feet was a little old, and sometimes it creaked.

But fortunately, it was still breakfast time, and it was normal for people to come and go, so they didn't plan to hide anything.

"Hey! Alexander...... I heard you were locked up last night? ”

"Oh, don't mention it! Ah, sorry, we're in a hurry to see the professor and we'll talk when we're back! ”

"Yo, is there any other punishment? Haha, this time it's enough for you......"

Encountering one or two classmates by chance, Alexander easily coped with it, which made Ens on the side look at him a few times with some subtlety.

"And voila! As long as you don't lie easily, your words will become very convincing, and I think this can be regarded as one of the benefits of being honest, right? ”

Hearing him say this, Enns' expression suddenly became even more strange when he looked at him.

It wasn't long before the two of them crossed the aisle in the middle of the cabin to the staircase where they had been able to ascend to the deck last night.

And here, there are very few people, because the students are still mostly eating in the dormitory area in the second half of the Change!

By the time everyone had finished breakfast and had come to the area to prepare for their usual classes, the two of them might have abandoned the lifeboat and started to speed away from the sea on their broomsticks.

"Let's go!"

Ens looked back and forth, but there was no figure in the corridors, and he whispered to Alexander to ascend the stairs.

At this point, the creaking of the planks finally made people feel a little uneasy, and the two of them subconsciously quickened their pace.

"Wow"

When Earns, who was walking in front, suddenly pushed open the hatch, and the raindrops were almost connected by the wind, and poured them into it with their heads and faces, so that the two of them were already soaked before they even reached the deck.

"Remember to close the door." Ens didn't look back.

The next moment, the two of them bowed their heads slightly, gritted their teeth and rushed into the rain curtain.

But before they could take a few more steps on the deck, a voice suddenly came from behind them, and they both stopped in the rain.

"You ...... Where is this going? ”
