Chapter 43: The Aurors Under Attack
"But Oriana, this is the men's bathroom......"
It was only at this time that Brandi was finally able to finish the words that came to his lips. This feels really complicated, because of the women's clothing, in the past few days in Beauxbatons, Brandi has never gone to the toilet in the castle's public bathroom - going to the men's bathroom will blow up the mentality of others, going to the women's toilet will blow up his own mentality, or simply walking long way back to the dormitory is more pleasant.
β¦β¦ So this is the first time Brandi has returned to the men's restroom in Beauxbatons, as a girl. And not so long ago, he spent an unforgettable night in the women's bathroom at Hogwarts as a man.
How to describe this embarrassment......
Fate, wonderful?
"Huh? It seems that you are not qualified to say this here......" Orianna looked at Brandi strangely, "At this time, you still want to pick and choose?" Don't move, stick your head over, I'll add a state to you. β
She said, reaching out and tapping Brandy's head. Brandi felt as if he had been challenged by a bucket of ice water, and the chill spread from her fingers to her toes, and he shivered. Immediately after, he was surprised to see that gray-black lines were appearing on his body, blending in with the surrounding environment, looking like a humanoid chameleon.
"What kind of magic is this?" He watched her tap on Fleur's forehead as well, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice. "It feels so weird!"
"The Illusion Charm, that's what I use in the ballroom. Although the effect is nowhere near better than that of a wand...... However, the environment itself will also help to add some points. Orianna said, handing the shoes to Brandi. They weren't going to stay here for long, there were still a lot of traces of the battle on the other side of the ballroom, and they should be drawn there soon. However, for the sake of insurance, the concealment measures that are still done still need to be done. Honestly, you should have mastered some of this magic somewhat, and if you're anything like me, you need to run around a lot. β
β¦β¦ Brandi stared at the dirty soles of his feet for a long time, and finally gave up on putting on shoes. He turned around with his shoes in his hands and began to survey his surroundings.
Looking at the warning signs outside, it is clear that this men's restroom is the location where the first-grade boy was killed. Because the only shutter happened to be installed in the innermost compartment, it was difficult for the moonlight in the second half of the night to shine in, making the room dark and eerie. It had been blown up by Madame Maxim not long ago, and it had not been renovated until the last two days, so it looked like new, with a strong smell of paint permeating the toilets and a disturbing smell.
It is said that the boy is the innermost thing?
Brandi stared cautiously at the only place in the room that was somewhat lighted, the cubicle was about seven feet high, and there was a narrow slit between the door and the floor, and a long, milky white moonlight flowed from under the crack in the door, as if it were light from inside the cubicle.
If such a compartment were locked, it would be impossible for such a big guy to come out.
At this moment, Ouriana suddenly put her finger to her lips and reminded in a low voice.
"Shhhh Silence, here they come. β
And almost at the same time, a string of dense footsteps sounded outside the door. The three of them immediately held their breath, Fleur's hand grasping Brandi's arm like a pincer, and he endured the pain, feeling that his forearm should be green.
"How's it going in the clubroom?" A gruff voice came from outside the door, and it seemed to be the leader of them. "There aren't many rooms on the first floor, and there's a Beauxbatons girl, if it's really another attack, then he won't be able to run far."
"Charles and Flotte went to see it, but there is no signal yet, so there should be nothing to do." This one was the voice of a middle-aged woman, "Mary and Alan went to the dance hall, but old York, wouldn't it really be a problem to arrange for the two of them to be together... You shouldn't have brought Mary's... She doesn't know anything about combat, and if something goes wrong, Eren may not be able to keep her. β
Professor Mary? She's there too?
Brandi's ears twitched, though he had known that Professor Mary had been on patrol with the Aurors at night. But didn't she just stay up all night last night, which was really hard enough.
"So what can I do... The other day, she was very upset that she was allowed to stay on the third floor in peace, and now that we heard the girl's screams right under our noses, could she not insist on coming with her - but no wonder, it has been so long that she has not been fully recognized by the bosses of the Ministry, so she is in a hurry to prove her loyalty to the Ministry of Magic. β
ββ¦β¦ Well, yes, after all, it's a foreigner who fled here. β
"Okay, let's not talk about these things, it's routine, let's check these two bathrooms one by one!" Old York said, "Thanks to you're still here, otherwise I'd be a little embarrassed by the women's bathroom...... Fluorescent flash. β
A glimmer of light came in, and Brandi's heart trembled, and she quickly patted Fleur and Orianna on the shoulder, motioning for them to follow her......
"I don't care, but is it really necessary to go into this men's bathroom...... If you have a big living person, you shouldn't be able to get through these planks. β
"It's better to be careful, and the last victim was also here, so I have to go in and confirm it-"
With a faint blue glow from the wand, the bulbous handle of the door rattled and slowly opened.
He's in!
The three of them huddled in a small cubicle, nervously listening to the movements of Old York outside the door. Although blessed with the Illusion Charm, no one can guarantee that this shoddy thing will be able to hide from a battle-hardened Auror.
There are two girls, Orianna and Fleur, who are crowded, and this can kill Brandi. It was not a good idea to mix the girl's body fragrance with paint, and the pungent smell formed was drilling into his nostrils in waves, so that he had to breathe through his mouth all the time from the beginning to prevent himself from sneezing. But thanks to the smell of paint in the room, the smell of lavender and gardenia barely drowned out the faint aroma of lavender and gardenia in the air.
"Hmm, terrible smell."
A low murmur rang out in the room.
The glow of the fluorescent spell flickered, but there was no doubt that Old York wasn't just going to take a cursory glance - he had already checked the sink and was beginning to move inside.
Bang~, the faces of the three people began to become ugly.
"Bang~"
"Bang~" The sound was getting closer and closer, and the black shadow under the fluorescent spell had already walked towards the door of the cubicle they were in, and Brandi could even see Old York's black cloth boots and the wizard's robe that reached the ground through the crack in the door, and the silk robe rubbed against the stone slab from time to time, making a slight rustling sound - the boots stopped at the door of the cubicle!
Not? Brandy's heart moved, and he turned his head with difficulty, looking at the shutter seven or eight feet away from the wall, as if he wanted to understand something.
At this moment, the sound of a witch shouting came from the girls' bathroom next door. "Old York, do you see anything?" She said, "It's really damning, there's a compartment here that seems to be blocked by something, and the smell is so bad that I'm about to faint!" β
"I'm pretty much the same here." Old York seemed to be pinching his nose, and his voice was angry. "The smell of paint is so loud that my rhinitis looks like I'm going to do it - you say the drains are clogged? Can you see what's blocked? You wait, I'll go and see. β
He quickly opened the remaining two compartments and took a look, and when he saw that there was nothing, he hurried over, and the footsteps faded away with the sound of the door locking.
The three guys in the cubicle let out a long sigh of relief, their legs were a little weak when they were so frightened by that Auror.
"Thanks to your sudden reaction and take your high heels into the wastebasket......" Fleur, who has survived the catastrophe, has not recovered her face yet, and she patted her proud chest in rejoice. It doesn't have the magic of the illusion spell on it, if he has a pair of pink high heels floating in the men's bathroom...... Merlin's beard yo ......"
"I have a question." Brandi whispered, "This bathroom is close to the ballroom, it should be located in ...... The west side of the castle? β
"yes, what's wrong?"
"And what's right up there, I mean, the floors upstairs."
Fleur froze for a moment, then began to think. However, Oriana frowned and replied first, "The second floor is a statue exhibition hall, and the third and fourth floors are girls' dormitories...... If you have the fifth floor, the fifth floor should be a corridor. What does this do, you ask? β
Looking at Fleur, who was still confused, Brandi was almost sure of his thoughts. He waved his hand, it shouldn't be far from the truth, there were only two pieces of the puzzle left - and one of them should still be in their dorm, he needed to confirm one thing, a small detail that he had ignored for a long time.
York's expectations were disappointed, the sewers in that compartment were just a prank of the naughty girls at night, and it was just a bag of big eggs thrown into it, no wonder the smell was so violent.
"Then it seems that we will have to wait for news from Charles and Allen." After coming out of the women's bathroom, he breathed in the cold air, and leaned against the wall with the middle-aged witch to meet themβCharles and Flot came to them almost on their backs and feet, and no doubt they found nothing.
"That's it again...... When the Allen group returns, let's discuss the next move. β
But after the four of them had spent another ten minutes in the hallway, old York began to feel that something was not quite right. Mary doesn't have any practical experience, but she's not incapacitated, and now she's too far away from the time to assemble!
"Let's go over and see what might be wrong!" Old York said categorically, and the four of them were just about to leave, when there was a sudden sound of heavy breathing from the depths of the hallway, and then Mary's disgraced face emerged from the darkness. She struggled forward, a thin wizard on her shoulder, who looked like he had passed out completely.
Everyone chuckled in their hearts as Mary spoke in a weak and trembling voice.
"We were attacked in the ballroom! It's a tall guy in a black cloak! β
