050: Tracking

In the dormitory, Alan and Eddie are talking about a male witch who has been in the limelight lately, Gilderoy Lockhart, who has published a lot of books related to dark magic creatures in the past two years, and everyone loves them.

Of course, Lockhart's biggest selling point is his handsome skin.

But Joel is fair to say that Lockhart is not as handsome as himself.

Joel slipped into the bathroom, pulled out his vine wand, and nodded his head unconsciously, "Disillusionment charm." ”

A chill poured down from the top of his head, like a basin of cold water, and Joel shivered with goosebumps all over his body.

He looked in the mirror in the bathroom, and there was only the shower, toilet and toiletries behind him, but he couldn't see himself.

Joel moved his body quickly and began to jump sideways from side to side while keeping his attention on the mirror.

Sure enough, when you move, you can still see a transparent object moving in the mirror, but as long as you stop moving, your body will naturally blend in with your surroundings.

Chameleon.

This was Joel's first reaction, and like this animal, the Manifestation Charm could also change the color of the surface of its body as the environment changed.

Joel practiced in the bathroom three or four times before returning to bed.

Alan and Eddie go to dinner together, and Joel excuses himself from the abdominal pain and stays in the empty dorm room to organize his belongings.

He stuffed his backpack with some candy from Duke Honey's candy store and his remaining 60 gold Galleons, and then he stuffed the "indestructible hammer" into it just in case.

Now the backpack became a lot heavier, Joel carried it, felt that the weight was moderate, and then pulled the zipper to death.

Joel came to the auditorium on Saturday night and saw Professor White sitting in the faculty seat, occasionally stuffing a mouthful of food into his mouth, but his mind was clearly not on it, and his eyes were distracted.

Joel's eyes were always on Professor White, which was not outstanding, as long as Professor White came to the auditorium for dinner, many male students would keep their eyes on Professor White's beautiful cheeks.

Eddie is even more affectionate, in this regard, Western children are indeed much more mature than Oriental people.

"Alan!" Joel called.

"What's wrong?" Alan looked up.

"I'm not going back to sleep tonight, you just lock the dormitory door."

"You're going to ......" Alan wanted to ask him why, but felt too abrupt, "I see." ”

Professor White was clearly in no mood to eat, and after barely taking two bites, he got up and left the table.

Joel slipped two pieces of apple pie into his mouth and quietly left.

Instead of following Professor White, he went to Ravenclaw Tower, grabbed his backpack, and walked around the Black Lagoon first, waiting for the exit from Hogwarts.

Hogwarts is enclosed by a high iron fence, leaving only one gate to enter, on which is hung a copper lock, which has been cast with forbidden powers, the lock opening spell cannot be opened, and the key is in the hands of Filch, the Hogwarts caretaker.

Joel tapped his head with his wand, "Disillusionment charm." ”

The body, along with the backpack, was hidden in the weeds next to the fence, and the place returned to calm.

A quarter of an hour later, as night fell, Professor Claire White and Filch, who was carrying a lamp and holding a precious cat, came together.

The grass next to the gate was squirming.

"Mr. Filch, I'll be back on Monday morning, and I'll trouble you to open the door then." Professor White carried the wooden box, and there was a slight apology in his tone.

Filch shook his head, "It's nothing, Miss White. ”

Filch, who has always had a "the world owes me gold gallons" expression, grinned at the corners of his mouth, revealing two crooked front teeth.

Professor White watched as he hunched forward, put down the lantern in his left hand, and pulled out a set of keys from his waist to unlock the door.

"See you on Monday, Mr. Filch." Professor White chuckled, the lower frame of the door was a little high, her right leg was a little out of force when she stepped over and landed on the ground, and her body was flat on the ground, and she didn't stand upright until her left foot stepped over the door frame.

Joel, who was cowering in the grass next to the gate, watched Professor White go out the door, and also held his breath and walked out with his bag on his back.

As the illusion spell combined with the growing night, Filch did not notice Joel passing by him.

But Mrs. Loris seemed to feel something, and turned her head in Filch's arms, looked at Joel's place, and called softly.

This scared Joel enough, and Filch glanced around with a somewhat suspicious gaze, but there was nothing but darkness.

Joel took advantage of Filch's shift in sight and slipped out of the room, by which time Professor White had already walked some distance, Filch shook his head suspiciously, locked the door, put the key away, lifted the lamp on the ground and turned away.

Joel let out a sullen breath, knowing that Lady Loris had spotted him by scent, and that the cat couldn't speak, so he could slip through Filch's fingers.

He gasped and hurried to follow Professor White's pace.

After walking downhill, Joel noticed that Professor White's right leg seemed to be a little inconvenient, and every time his right foot landed, he gently touched it, putting his weight on his left foot, which made it look very awkward to walk.

Injured?

Joel frowned.

He was glad that Professor White had no intention of apparition and left, and she continued down the hillside, past the site where Hogwarts Terrex had stopped, and there was a village not far ahead, brightly lit and warm in the night.

It's Hogsmeade Village.

There were not only shops such as Duke Honey's confectionery store in Hogsmeade, but also wizards' residences, and Professor White carried a wooden box through the main road of the village, came to a small two-story building in the middle of the village, took the key from his pocket and opened the door, and then strode inside.

The door was slammed shut, and Joel, in order to prevent Professor White from discovering that he had been following her seven or eight meters before, had no time to enter at this time, so he could only attach his ear to the door and try to listen to the movement in the room.

The sound insulation of the wooden door was not very good, and Joel could clearly hear a heavy coughing sound that was clearly not made by Professor White.

Joel cautiously shifted his position, trying to move to the window and see the room.

It was a man in the room who suddenly heard the voice of a man, and Joel hurriedly stopped his movements and held his breath.

It was a language that Joel didn't understand, Spanish, or Portuguese, German, French......

The man said two words and immediately began to cough violently, and Joel was worried about whether he would cough to death, and then he heard Professor White's voice.

There was a little tremor in his voice, thinking it was caused by mood swings.

She used that language as well, which made Joel a little irritated, and he couldn't get any valuable information out of the conversation.
