Chapter 1640 Where Are You Going?
"Clang, clang! Crunch—bang!"
When the metal knife made the maddening sound of scratching on the dinner plate again, Malfoy finally threw the knife and fork on the table angrily, and slammed it on the back of the chair with a frown. Depend on.
On the wall, the small wall clock is still ticking, and the sea water outside the porthole is still beating against the outer wall, and the sound of crashing rain is disturbing.
The torrential rain has lasted all night since it started late last night.
"call--"
After a while, Malfoy seemed to realize that it would be useless to be so bored any longer. So he couldn't help but let out a long breath, trying to calm himself down.
Immediately afterwards, he casually pulled out his wand and slapped the bed lightly.
The magic book on the bed just jumped a bit, then fell to the floor, and made another "bang".
Obviously, since the key to silent spell skills lies in concentration, the probability of failure in his current state of mind is of course very high.
"Damn it," Malfoy twitched the corner of his mouth, and then whispered, "Books are coming!"
This time with the aid of a clear spell, and with his level of spell casting, of course there would be no more trouble, the thick magic book finally jumped up as it should and fell into his palm.
Then, he put down the wand in his hand, turned the pages of the book, and continued reading where he stuffed the bookmarks—since his mind always thinks about things when he is idle, he might as well fill it up with magical knowledge. Full, so that at least he won't have time to taste the powerlessness in his heart again and again.
"...'The Silencer Spell is a spell with high practical value. It can eliminate the sound of footsteps, hide the sound of chanting, and even cover up the crackling sound of unskilled Apparition'... …oh, this damn thunderstorm, I think I should put a silencing spell on this cabin right now!"
After reading a few lines, Malfoy was startled by a loud thunderclap, which gradually began to distract him again.
But at this moment, a series of footsteps sounded outside the cabin door, mixed with the muffled thunder and rushing rain outside the ship, which seemed a little indistinct.
When he heard the footsteps approaching this way, Malfoy couldn't help but frowned again.
"Is it Parkinson's again?"
Yes, of course, Pansy did run this way from time to time during this period, no different from when she was at Hogwarts in the past. For this... To be honest, Malfoy himself was used to it, because the relationship between the two had always been like this since they were young.
On the contrary, recently...Pansy seems to give him a different feeling than before, how should I put it? More noticeable?
However, the owner of the series of footsteps outside was obviously not Pansy - the other party passed by the door of the cabin where Malfoy was, and soon went away.
Malfoy shook his head when he heard the other party leave, and then returned his gaze to the page in his hand.
However, this time he still couldn't immerse himself in the book for too long.
That is to say, after more than ten minutes, the sound of the footsteps that just walked past came from far to near again, and this time it was obvious that there was an extra person. It's just that the other step seemed a bit light, and against the background sound of thunder and rain, you might not be able to hear it if you don't listen carefully.
However, the two were talking in a low voice, but Malfoy, who had nothing to do to listen, heard a few words.
"...side...a spare boat...wind and waves...cover up..."
"Shut up... we'll talk when we go up."
"Huh?" Malfoy raised an eyebrow.
Although the conversation between the two of them was very brief and careful, just these few words were enough for him to hear some clues from it.
"Is this going to sneak away from the Revolution?"
He thought for a while, then suddenly closed the magic book in his hand, and placed it on the table casually. After he looked around, he took a waterproof cloak from the closet and carried it in a bag, then he walked towards the hatch lightly, holding his wand.
But just for such a short while, the footsteps outside had become farther away.
"Mute the silence."
Before going out, Malfoy waved his wand and pointed at his feet—obviously, he agreed with the description of the Silencing Charm in the book just now.
...
At this moment, Ens and Alexander, who had just passed by the door of Malfoy's cabin, hadn't realized that their short conversation just now had attracted a "spirited person".
They walked in the corridor, the wooden floor under their feet was a little old, and there would be a creaking sound from time to time.
But fortunately, it was still breakfast time at this moment, and it was quite normal for people to come and go, and they didn't intend to hide anything.
"Hey! Alexander... I heard that you were locked up last night?"
"Oh, don't mention it! Ah, sorry, we have to rush to see the professor, and we will talk when we come back later!"
"Hey, is there any other punishment? Haha, this time is enough for you..."
When he ran into one or two classmates by chance, Alexander easily dealt with it, which made Ensi on the side give him a few subtle glances.
"Look! As long as you don't lie easily, your words will become very convincing-I think this should be one of the benefits of being honest?"
Hearing what he said, Ensi's expression suddenly became even weirder when he looked at him.
It didn't take long for the two of them to pass through the aisle in the middle of the cabin until they reached the stairs that led to the deck last night.
And here, there are very few people, because the students are mainly eating in the dormitory area in the second half of the Change!
By the time everyone finished breakfast and came to this area to prepare for classes as usual, the two of them might have abandoned the lifeboat and began to speed up to leave this sea area on broomsticks.
"Let's go!"
Ens looked around and saw no one in the several aisles, so he greeted Alexander in a low voice and went up the stairs.
When they got here, the creaking of the wooden steps finally made people feel a little uneasy, and the two of them subconsciously quickened their pace.
"Wow--"
When Ens, who was walking in front, suddenly pushed open the cabin door, the raindrops that were almost in one piece were engulfed by the strong wind, and poured them in, making the two of them completely soaked before they got on the deck. .
"Remember to close the door." Ensi said without looking back.
The next moment, the two lowered their heads slightly, gritted their teeth and rushed into the rain curtain.
But before they ran a few more steps on the deck, a voice suddenly came from behind them, making them both pause in the rain.
"You... where are you going?"
