The Hogwarts library was silent, and the doors of the library rooms that had been pushed open were quietly closed.

There was a faint sound of footsteps in the darkness, and the wooden floor made a 'squeak' sound, proving its antiquity.

But for people who want to walk around the library carefully, this becomes a huge nuisance.

In the gloom, the footsteps were slow, heading towards the bookshelves.

Only later, the owner of the footsteps seemed to confirm that the library was empty, and began to gradually increase his pace.

"Left...... There is a place for advanced textbooks, and on the right is a history book. ”

With that sense, combined with the sound of footsteps that was so clear to his ears, Connor could easily make out the location of the library intruder.

So, what does that guy want to do?

He didn't seem to have any intention of invading the forbidden book area, let alone stopping in front of the books that seemed profound to the average student, but walked around the history section.

Finally, Connor's eyes widened.

He sensed it, and that guy seemed to be coming this way!

But why?

Are you here for the news, like me?

No, what are you looking for news for?

Connor furrowed his brow.

But fortunately, he had cast a silent spell, and it wouldn't be exposed like this ignorant guy.

Thinking of this, Connor took a step.

He began to keep backing up.

Then, he sensed that his footsteps had stopped, and if nothing else, the guy was standing where he was standing was where he had been.

You also came to see the news from 10 years ago?

"Huh?"

A voice of confusion came from under the spell that obscured his form, and then Connor felt a wave of hostility.

Not good!

A red light flew in without warning, and after being hit, Connor only felt a huge force pulling in his hands.

Caught off guard, the wand in his hand flew directly towards the opposite side.

But, to Connor, the wand was nothing more than a nice-to-have.

'Knock'

He lunged forward and grabbed what he thought was his waist.

It's just that he feels that his judgment has been wrong.

"Huh? Not the waist? ”

Wrong judgment created a wrong touch, and in a stunned state, the illusion spells of both sides were completely torn off at the moment of collision, and Connor could see each other's faces clearly at this time.

In some gray moonlight, it was a silver glow.

"Isobel?!"

"It's you?!"

'Plop'

Stunned, the two fell backwards, but before that, Connor caught his wand flying away.

"Close your ears and listen!"

Before he fell, he shut out the sounds and movements around him.

The two of them fell to the ground and rolled on the ground several times.

It's also a shame that the bookshelves on both sides are obviously reinforced by magic, otherwise they would have to be knocked down.

However, because the shelves were reinforced and firmly glued to the ground, Connor felt like he was stuck.

The two children were stuck in the not-so-wide aisle between the bookshelves, staring at each other in a daze.

Immediately after, almost the same question blurted out:

"Why are you here?"

And after this same question, there was a long silence on both sides.

"Did you know that night outings are against school rules?"

The voice was a little cold, with a faint hint of repulsion.

It seems to be the one I met in Potions class before.

"Coincidentally, I happened to be approved by Headmaster Dumbledore to study in the library, and I was even given a room of my own by Madame Pince."

Connor just grinned.

"It's you, you're a serious night out, aren't you? Otherwise, there's no need to use the Illusion Charm......"

"Knock Knock"

Suddenly, a short sound of footsteps sounded in the doorway, and Connor's expression changed.

"Loris? Is this Loris? Haha, there are students sneaking into the library! Must have come to the forbidden area to steal books! I'm going to have to ask the headmaster to give me a whip and shackles to educate these little!" ”

"It's Filch!"

"Hurry up, cast the Illusion Spell ......"

"No, you don't."

Connor quickly vetoed this.

"You've been chased all the way by the Transfiguration Charm...... Just follow me. ”

Under Isobel's stunned gaze, Connor knocked on the badger carving on the wall, and the two hid in the room.

The secret door closes as if nothing had happened.

And Filch is still scolding and picking locks:

"If you don't follow the school rules, it's hard to study hard!! I don't even know what these guys are doing in school! ”

When the old man walked into the library with an oil lamp, he saw an empty library.

After walking around with the oil lamp, he was stunned and didn't notice any problems.

"What about people? Loris? ”

Filch couldn't help but look at his cat, only to see the red-eyed cat walking around a wall, as if looking at something.

Finally, she walked to the door again and ran outside.

"Loris! Where are you going! Don't leave me! ”

After reclosing the library door and locking it, Filch chased after his cat.

Hogwarts castles are huge, and Filch's night patrol has only just begun.

In the middle of the cubicle, Connor leaned against the wall and patted the badger emblem on his robe.

As for Isobel, she carefully surveyed her surroundings and finally set her eyes on the book.

"The Human Body is Metamorphosed...... You're starting reading this kind of book now? ”

"Isn't it possible? It's just a matter of passing the time when you're bored...... And don't you want to change the subject, what do you want to do when you want to sneak into the library this night? ”

In the face of Connor's straightforward question, Isobel's expression turned red.

She subconsciously opened her mouth, but her gaze was averted.

"Why am I telling you this?"

"It's okay, you don't have to say it, but I have to tell Headmaster Dumbledore about it...... He gave me permission to read here, and I had to be responsible for him. ”

"Don't! Don't tell that guy! ”

After hearing Dumbledore's name, Isobel couldn't help but shout.

"Huh?"

Connor sensed that Isobel had a big problem with Dumbledore's attitude.

"That guy? That's what you call the headmaster? ”

Realizing the problem in his words, Isobel just grimaced.

Looking at her, Connor folded his arms.

"Normally, normal students would call him Headmaster Dumbledore or Professor Dumbledore, but as the greatest wizard of the century, I don't think most children would have such a disgust if they didn't say they worshipped him."

Connor analyzed step by step, casually blocking Isobel's retreat completely.

"So, what's going on with you?"
