013. Talk at night in the dormitory and keep an eye on it
In his dorm room that night, Scott sat in his pajamas on a blue suede single couch by the window, playing with a silver-gray piece of metal in his hand.
"Scott."
Roger walked over and sat directly on the windowsill.
"You must have found something at noon." "I have to say," he affirmed, "you didn't look very good at that time." ”
Scott understood that he was talking about the two Ravenclaw freshmen, Jacob Kent and Caitlin Rohr.
The two men, who had been at odds with each other for a long time, seemed to have reconciled as before, and at noon they were seen hanging out with Justin Travers of Slytherin.
He was about to speak, but Eddie, who was already lying on the bed on the other side, suddenly sat up and asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
Milton, another member of the dormitory, also pulled back his already taut curtain.
He was still devastated by his disgrace in Defence Against the Dark Arts class, but then he stuck out his head and asked, "Noon?" What happened after I left? But when you returned to your dormitory at noon, you didn't say anything. ”
Of course, unlike Eddie, whose face was full of eagerness for gossip news, Milton's somewhat haggard face was only concerned about his friend.
Faced with questions from the other two roommates, Roger first stopped talking, and then glanced at Scott again.
With a look of helplessness on his face, Scott nodded at him.
"That's ......"
Roger immediately stood up and walked to the center of the dormitory, and began to describe to Eddie and Milton the anomalous scene they had seen in the middle of the day.
Listening to Roger's story, Milton gradually frowned, but Eddie let out several exclamations in succession.
When Roger finished speaking, the three of them turned to look at Scott together.
“……”
Facing three pairs of eyes with different expressions, Scott didn't want to speak for a while.
“……”
However, all three roommates continued to stare at him persistently.
Scott sighed secretly and said to them, "This matter seems to be a bit complicated, and it can be very troublesome, are you sure you want to take care of it?" ”
"Nope." Eddie shook his head first, "This matter has something to do with that Miss Poison Doll, you have warned me. ”
Scott laughed. Ever since he was sternly warned, Eddie's kid began to refer to Jasmine Travers as a 'poison doll' to prevent himself from accidentally leaking out.
"And...... Travert and Rohr, listen to these two surnames. ”
Eddie shrugged his shoulders with a comical expression on his face.
"Two of the great 'Twenty-Eight Purebloods'? Merlin, I'm just a Muggle-born wizard who can't afford to be in trouble with such purebloods. ”
Roger laughed and said, "And Morgan Avery, Jasmine Travers's Slytherin companion." ”
He shrugged his shoulders in Eddie's example, "One of the great 'Twenty-Eight Purebloods'." ”
"But ......"
Milton got out of bed, put on his slippers and sat on the edge of the bed, tucking his long hair in his hands.
He said worriedly: "Kent and Rohr are freshmen at our Ravenclaw House after all, what if ...... What if they were bullied by Slytherin? ”
"Especially Kent, who is also a Muggle-born wizard." Eddie, who was the most well-informed, added, and looked at Scott again.
"Kent ......"
Scott remembered the Jacob Kent he saw at noon.
Compared to the poor little boy who met him in the common room early in the morning of the first day of the new semester, it was obvious that the boy had changed a lot.
Even the magic he perceived was already very different.
If it weren't for the fact that there were some parts that hadn't changed, he would have thought that the boy he saw was counterfeited by someone else after drinking the polyjuice decoction.
"That boy, I've given him a chance to ask for help." Scott said to Roger, "If he was forced to do so, he should have followed my word and immediately went with us to the Great Hall." ”
He is not the kind of warm-hearted kind-hearted person, and he can help easily, and it is already the limit to do this.
"But I remember you said that the boy had changed." Roger said, "I don't know exactly what happened, but maybe the boy's change was also related to Miss Poison Doll." ”
"It's a possibility." Scott doesn't deny it.
He knew very well that if a wizard's magic changed a lot in a short period of time, it was most likely because he had practiced some kind of black magic.
But he didn't say it.
Jacob Kent was a young Muggle-born wizard who had just entered school. I'm afraid no one can believe that he is capable of practicing black magic in a short period of time after entering the school.
Roger continued, "While Ravenclaw has been largely neutral in the Slytherin vs. Gryffindor fight, if Miss Slytherin 'Poison Doll' has put her hand into Ravenclaw, we must react as soon as possible. ”
As he spoke, he leaned over to Scott, cheekily leaning back on the arm of the couch and squeezing his shoulder.
"So what the hell is to do? Please make a decision now! The Uncrowned King of Room 16 of the Male Student Dormitory at Ravenclaw College, Mr. Trollope! ”
"When did I get this long, uncool title?" Scott couldn't laugh or cry, and he wanted to smash Roger's head with the piece of metal in his hand.
"I just came up with it!" Roger's hand on his shoulder grew stronger, "In order to deal with the poisonous hand that has secretly reached out from Slytherin, I have decided to elect you as the commander of this operation and lead us to victory." ”
"Go away."
Scott shook Roger's hand away and looked at the three roommates again.
"So...... What exactly do you want to do? ”
"Of course, it's up to you, Mr. Trollope." Roger still pretended.
Eddie and Milton nodded approvingly.
"Yes, I choose to listen to you, Scott."
"Me too."
"Tsk, cunning fellows." Scott couldn't help but laugh and curse.
After a moment's silence, he said to his roommates, "While I don't know what Travers's role was in the events of the first night of school, there's a good chance that it had something to do with her." ”
He tossed the piece of metal in his hand.
"But we don't have to do anything about it, just keep an eye on these freshmen, Eddie. To be honest, I'm a little curious...... What the hell is Miss Travers going to do? ”
Scott remembered the girl's eyes when they looked at each other twice, and those silver-gray eyes inadvertently revealed a deep hidden cruelty and viciousness.
"I see!"
Eddie excitedly climbed out of bed and patted his chest confidently.
"Leave the matter to me!"
