Chapter 66: The Neglected Blind Spot (Part I)

Succeed with flying colors.

Brandi and Hermione didn't rush and waited a few more minutes before cautiously coming out of the corner, they seemed a little cautious, but then they spotted it easily. With the current appearance of Loris's skating scene, probably even if they were trying to make a fuss next to them, Mrs. Loris's probably wouldn't be in the mood to open her eyes and look at them even once.

"Will it stay like this......" Brandi poked her finger at Lady Loris's head, who just snorted and then went on to play dead. So he pinched its neck and lifted it up, leaning forward and looking it up and down. "Eh, don't say it, it looks pretty cute~ You see its tongue is hanging out."

"I don't think so......" Hermione's expression was a little complicated, and the flush on her face hadn't subsided yet. To be reasonable, it should be because Mu Tianlian has played a little role in the fact that it can temporarily make the cat docile and stable...... But the duration of Mu Tianzhi won't be too long, I don't want it long, uh-"

Syllable~

Brandi reflexively let go, and Mrs. Loris's fell to the ground with a pop, letting out a satisfied moan.

Forehead...... It's scary. Thinking about what might happen to the cat in ten minutes, Brandi couldn't help but shiver, he quickly dragged Hermione and quickly left the poison scene.

The clock had passed eleven forty ...... By this time, Harry and Parvati had probably picked up Noble and walked down the path back to school. They have a lot of time......

Now that the easiest problem for Harry to expose them has been solved, there is nothing to find a clue to Harry's hiding in the stench of dead rats in the crate, and the next step is to think about how to keep Filch's hatred on their side. But that's hardly a problem for Brandi...... He was convinced that if Filch could choose between him and Harry with the dragon, he probably wouldn't waste even a second of time thinking about it.

So, just let Filch know you're wandering outside......

But how do they find him? The castle was so big, and Filch wouldn't be honest in his office in the middle of the night, maybe at this moment, he was still carrying a lantern and cursing on his lips, and with the most vicious thoughts, he was looking for possible troublemakers in the corridors of nowso.

Hermione's plan was to go to the staff lounge on the first floor, and they knew that Filch was very wary of it because of what had happened before, and it was likely that they would set up some detection and warning spells near the staff lounge at night. Anyone who gets too close (in fact, it's a dead end, and if you go in that direction at night, you'll probably be left with nothing but Brandi), he'll probably be prompted, and will almost immediately realize that the wanderer is Brandi.

But as they had just descended the stairs on the second floor and were about to look around the corner on the right, they suddenly heard a soft footstep on the other side of the corner. They were stunned and desperately covered their mouths to keep themselves from making a sound, and Brandi reflexively pulled Hermione over, and the two quickly hid themselves in the darkness under the stairs.

So late? Who could it be?

All they knew was that it wouldn't be Filch, because he would carry a lantern with him everywhere he went, and it wouldn't be Harry and Parvati, who certainly hadn't come back yet! So the two of them pressed tightly together, not daring to take a breath, and their eyes stared at the intersection around the corner.

A black shadow stretched out from the corner by the firelight, followed by a boot—knee-length purple wizard robes—wrapped in layers of large, thick scarves. What a familiar face.

Professor Quirrell ???

Brandi and Hermione looked at each other in surprise. This is really a result that none of them expected......

Why is he here? Isn't his office on the third floor?

At this time, Professor Quirrell looked very strange, as a professor he could have swaggered around the castle, but now he acted in a cowering manner, as if he had done something unseemly. And it seemed uncomfortable, and then the faint light of the fire, Brandi could clearly see the hideous features and twitching muscles of his face. They pricked up their ears and faintly heard some of his muttering that seemed to be talking to himself.

"How could it be...... It's not that ...... Yes...... Yes? But I'm completely ...... now Damn Severus! ”

His voice was so low that the two of them could barely hear the words, and it was only when they pronounced the last name that they could hear his angry roar and laryngeal whistling. It sounded like he was crying, like complaining, maybe he had managed to resist Snape again?

Then, as if he was hallucinating, he seemed to think that someone was talking to him.

"Yes...... Yes...... I'll try to do that! It's my obligation......"

Professor Quirrell trembled and grabbed the handrail of the staircase, and made his way upstairs. He walked slowly, and it was clear that something was wrong with his body – or maybe something was wrong with his brain as well.

"Ahh He stumbled suddenly, as if he had stepped on something, and fell down the stairs with a thud.

Hermione's face turned white and she was worried and wanted to go out, but she was grabbed by Brandi, who was quick to react, and covered her mouth with her hand.

"Shh~ Don't move, we're violating the school rules right now." He lowered his voice and spoke softly. "Professor Quirrell is fine, he probably didn't pay attention for a moment and stepped on the problematic staircase, you know, that staircase is designed to trap people who can't remember the order. Not......? ”

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Quirrell's angry roar was heard from above, and he struggled to his feet again, limping forward until the footsteps faded into Brandi's range of perception.

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief as she emerged from under the stairs and cautiously looked up, confirming that Professor Quirrell was far away. Then he began to call out to Brandi to come out quickly. "How did Professor Quirrell become so irritable, so timid and introverted ......"

"Probably because he couldn't hold on anymore - like those desperate people who don't have a good temper." Brandi came out thoughtfully, absent-mindedly perfunctory. "It's weird...... What did I just think of? ”

"Why did he come up from the second floor, you mean? Or why do you talk to yourself? Hermione poked Brandy's scar mercilessly. I don't blame you stupid guy for your bad idea! Now, it looks like Professor Quirrell is not only physically broken, but even mentally affected by the potion, don't you hear him complaining about Snape - maybe he was tortured by Parvati's potion and wanted to go to Snape for the antidote! Sky! It's miserable...... Snape probably didn't sleep either. ”

She suddenly became anxious, dragging Brandy, who was still meditating, to run up. "We can't go any further, we might run into him!"

Brandi's confused thoughts were all dispelled, and he came back to his senses and followed Hermione upwards.

Due to Professor Quirrell's unexpected events, they probably didn't have time to pull Filch over first. After making a rough check that Professor Quirrell had returned to his office, they hurried straight to the armor gallery on the fourth floor, where the dull bell rang at twelve o'clock when they saw the long line of armor glittering in the moonlight.

It's time...... Brandi and Hermione pulled out their wands, and the Expansion and Levitation charms hit a set of full-body armor at the same time. It immediately became the size of half a troll—and still expanding, and floated eerily like a balloon that had been blown up—straight up to the ceiling.

"Are you ready......

"You mean run away, I'm good at this." The two of them tried to calm the tension in their hearts, they knew very well what the consequences of this thing falling would be, and they only had about two or three minutes to run to the shelter in Room 13. "We've practiced several times during the day, haven't we?"

"That's good......" Hermione swallowed, her calves shaking. Prepare ......"

She dropped her wand suddenly, and without hesitation, she ran towards the staircase.

"Run!"

As soon as the two of them ran out of the corridor full of armor, and turned the corner, they heard a 'dang long', it was really a deafening loud noise, like the sound of a huge iron ball hitting the ground from a high place, the huge sound echoed in the empty castle, although they had been mentally prepared, but the loud impact still made their hearts tremble in unison, and the posture of the two people running upstairs became more and more embarrassing.

They ran forward desperately, and could clearly hear Filch's angry screams coming from the next floor, and he seemed to be very angry, and was speeding through the secret passage to the corridor on the fourth floor. However, there is no danger, and the furious Filch does not seem to have discovered the initiators of the two head-hugging rats.

They ran back to the staircase on the sixth floor, and at this time Lady Loris seemed to be no longer in the corridor on the right, and it seemed to have begun its performance - at Hermione's gasping urging, Brandi hurriedly opened the secret door of classroom 13, and they rushed in, lying on the floor in embarrassment, watching the pale blue light door fade and disappear quickly. They let out a long sigh of relief...... After the extreme tension, physical and mental exhaustion immediately found them, and they lay quietly, not wanting to move.

No one spoke, and for a moment, there was only the sound of two people's heartbeats in the silent classroom.
