Chapter Twenty-Seven: Naway the Toad (Ask for Reading, Ask for Recommendation Tickets, Ask for Monthly Tickets)

"Thinking too much, this is not a prophecy, nor is it any other powerful ability, it is just a simple deduction. Besides, as you can see, what happened to Harry just now didn't quite follow the plot of the novel. ”

Arthur closed the notebook in his hand, again denying Cedric's speculation.

But as soon as the words ended, there was a knock on the door of the box, and then a round-faced boy pushed open the door of the box.

Cedric immediately looked at the boy who interrupted their conversation, his shy appearance showing anxiety and uneasiness.

'It's Neville Longbottom, that's right, Neville who always loses things!' ’

Cedric screamed inwardly, twisting his facial muscles to hide his shock.

"I'm sorry, I want to ask, did you see my toad?"

The boy looked at Arthur, who had a calm face, and Cedric, who had a very terrifying smile in the box,

Thinking that these two must be difficult to mess with, but for the sake of the lost toad, he still mustered up the courage to ask.

Neville's voice was a little choked, so Cedric had to think that he was most likely crying in the next second.

"Go find your suitcase. Your toad is a little hungry, and your suitcase just isn't fully closed. ”

Arthur reopened the notebook, casually flipped through the pages, and said as he wrote.

"Writing" for the first time every day is free, and it is a waste not to use it.

He didn't want to hear Neville crying in front of him, it would be too loud.

"Okay, thank you! My name is Neville Longbottom..."

After listening to Arthur's reminder, Neville's expression of almost crying instantly blossomed with excitement.

"Arthur Pendragon. You'd better go find it. ”

"Yes! Kindness! ”

The box door was closed again, and the room was once again silent.

"You still say you don't have prophetic powers! Merlin's beard, I think you are a friend, and you lied to me! ”

Cedric scratched his hair with his hands a little frantically, and the originally handsome hairstyle became a chicken nest at this time.

"It's a simple deduction, if you think it's prophetic power, then you believe it's prophetic power."

Seeing that Cedric was still serious in disbelief, Arthur paused and continued.

"Big Cedric, I don't like to be in the spotlight. So can you help me keep this secret? ”

The final chapter of the new book is a bit of a carvan, and Arthur needs an unusually quiet environment.

In order for Cedric to put an end to his speculation as soon as possible, Arthur had to admit that it was a prophetic ability.

"Haha! Rest assured, Arthur. Since you can tell me this. Even if I die, I won't reveal this secret to anyone else. I swear! ”

After finally getting the answer he wanted, Cedric felt that the itching and unbearable feeling in his heart disappeared in an instant, and the whole person was refreshed.

As a Hufflepuff, he wouldn't do anything to betray his friends.

"No swearing, no need for you to die. Remember to learn Occlumency in advance, and don't be poured with a truth potion. ”

"Uh..."

Cedric was a little surprised that Arthur knew about Occlumency and Truth Elixir, but on second thought, Arthur could write about what happened to Harry on the train.

He was relieved.

After re-styling his hair, Cedric noticed that Arthur was concentrating on what he was writing again.

He leaned over to glance at the contents, and for a moment Cedric's pupils shrank and his cheeks flushed slightly.

In order to avoid being caught by Arthur peeking at his novel, he quickly sat up straight and glanced out the window.

The stunning scenery at dusk could not make him forget what Arthur had written.

'Men and women... Kissing... I seem to have seen something I shouldn't be looking at at this age...'

"Oh! Lev, you actually ate half of the bread worms, and that's your food for two days. ”

With Arthur's reminder, Neville soon finds his pet in his luggage, Lever.

He gently removed Riffou from the clay pot containing the breadworm, carefully held it in his arms, and stroked the not-so-smooth back.

And his move was seen by a girl who happened to come out of the locker room.

A little boy looks at an ugly toad with extremely "perverted" eyes.

Although she learned from books that toads are common pets for wizards, she still felt a little sick to her stomach when she first met them.

"Uh, I'm sorry. Get in your way. My name is Neville Longbottom and this is my pet, Lev. ”

Refle's low snort drew Neville's attention to the girl standing in front of him. Thinking that he was blocking the girl's way, he quickly apologized.

"Hello, my name is Hermione Granger, and I'm a freshman this year. Excuse me..."

Seeing Neville so polite, Hermione resisted the shock of the toad's ugly appearance, and was ready to ask Neville what it was like to raise a toad.

But before he finished speaking, a black shadow broke through the window and appeared in front of the two.

The sudden intruder caused Neville and Hermione to take a few steps back, and they both looked at the intruder in horror.

The intruder also noticed Neville and Hermione, and the three of them looked at each other.

"Ahh

Neville screamed in a panic, and Hermione hurriedly stepped forward to cover Neville's mouth, and then looked warily at the tall, thin stranger as a bamboo pole.

"It's the Express to Hogwarts, and it's full of students and professors. I don't care who you are, but I'd advise you to get out of here! ”

"Tut-tut, a mudblood, you're very brave!"

After hearing Hermione's warning, the visitor did not reveal a trace of awe and fear towards Hogwarts, but sneered and mocked Hermione.

His voice was low and hoarse, and his face was shrouded in a black mist, like a seductor from hell.

"Today is your lucky day, and I'm not going to kill an unrelated Mudblood. But only if you tell me, where is Arthur Pendragon? ”

While Hermione was still thinking about what "mudblood" meant, the other party had already arrived in front of Neville.

He stretched his bony arm out of his black robe, a black wand against Neville's forehead.

Sou!

Before Hermione could react. Neville, who was covered by her mouth, writhed wildly uncontrollably until he turned into an ugly toad and fell into Hermione's hands.

"Ahh

Hermione looked down at Leff the Toad and Neville the Toad in her palms, screamed, and hurriedly threw the two toads to the ground.

"You're a clever mudblood, you know what to do, right?"

A hoarse voice, like a ghost asking for her life, hovered in Hermione's head.

She stared at the wand against her forehead with tears in her eyes, fear making her body tremble.

She never expected to encounter an evil wizard on the express train to Hogwarts.

"I... I... I do not know! ”

"Don't you tell the truth?"

Seeing that Hermione didn't say Arthur's location, the dark magic on his body instantly went viral.

"Hmm... I really don't know! ”

Hermione, who had never seen a dark wizard before, was so frightened by the magic of the black-robed wizard that she sat limply on the ground.

"Then go die!"

"Except for your weapons!"
