Chapter 694 Annoyed Ens

"Tap...tap...tap...tap..."

It was night, and it was cloudy, even the streets of Hogsmeade village outside were equally drowsy. And in the corridor on the second floor of the Pig's Head Bar, it was naturally even darker.

As you walk forward step by step, the old wooden floor under your feet also makes creaking sounds. Even though the weight is lighter than ordinary people, it is inevitable that there will be that tooth-stinging movement when stepping on it .

Wouldn't a sound like this, which seemed to be breaking the floor at any time, startle the people in the room at the end of the corridor? You know, he came here precisely because there were people there.

only……

At this moment, the figure walking in the darkness of the corridor has come to the door. But he turned the doorknob indifferently, and the light in the room also fell on him, covering most of his figure in the light.

Only now can I see clearly that this is a guy covered in a black hooded cloak.

Immediately afterwards, he stepped into the room with strides, and closed the door behind him.

This room has a very strong sense of unity with the dilapidated Pig's Head pub-the floor is still creaky, the walls are full of stains accumulated over the years, the tables, chairs, desks, wardrobes, everything is old. Even the curtains, which are constantly fluttering in the night wind, have holes of various sizes and seams that are unthreaded everywhere...

Oh yes! The opposite window was wide open, and the wind from outside was pouring into the room unscrupulously, stirring up the air in the room desperately. The year-round snowstorm in Hogsmeade village makes it feel like winter all year round. When the windows are opened, people can't help shivering from the cold.

But in this "over-ventilated" room, a total of four people did not show any discomfort.

No, that's actually not quite accurate. Because apart from the black-robed wizard who just came in, the other three were either standing or sitting, but they all maintained a constant posture, and they never even blinked their eyelids.

However, the black-robed man who just came in from the door did not show the slightest surprise. He just looked around, and then lifted the big hood on his head.

Just looking at the face that was still a little immature even for a young man, one can understand that there is no doubt that this black-robed wizard is Maca.

"Hmm... just two people?"

In this room except maca,

Only one of the other three people sat on the edge of the bed, while the other two stood by the window and in front of the bed respectively.

And Maca didn't even cast a single glance at the wizard on the bed, as if he was not interested in the guy sitting there at all, he just looked back and forth at the other two wizards.

But at this moment, the person who was sitting motionless on the edge of the bed suddenly stood up and walked to Maca's side in silence.

In fact, this wizard who seemed to be quite old was no stranger. Look at the butler's clothing with a distinctive design style, and the neatly trimmed white hair, who is it not Nicole Flamel's old butler Edward?

But Maca just patted the opponent on the shoulder casually, and made no other moves. Judging from Maca's habit of "being kind to others", all of this seems unreasonable.

"well-done."

Maca's sudden words broke the strange atmosphere in the room. And as he suddenly withdrew his right hand that patted Edward's shoulder, the silent old butler actually dwarfed at that moment, and turned into a big spider with a hideous appearance in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the half-human-tall spider quickly began to shrink, and then neatly rolled over Maca's clothes and crawled into his sleeve and disappeared.

It was troublesome to say, but the whole process only took more than ten seconds. The old Edward who was still sitting in the room had completely disappeared, as if he had never existed from the beginning.

But for Maca, this was originally planned. After casually taking back the Alienated Acromantula disguised by the Transfiguration technique, he walked a few steps forward and came to the two unidentified people who were still motionless.

In fact, one can understand without looking carefully that there is almost no difference in the attire of the two people, they are both wearing plain robes that seem to be familiar to each other. It's just that they are covered with a layer of gray and white at the moment, but they can't tell the original color of the robe.

But it didn't matter, because Maca recognized the other party's identity at a glance - this was undoubtedly the black robe cultist who had fought against him in the palace of the Iranian magic world.

After returning to Hogwarts that day, he already understood that the old prophet would probably continue to participate in this competition, and the old man's initial goal would obviously be Nicole Flamel's alchemical legacy—that is, the old man Edward, apparently the only butler of the Flamel family who knew where he was.

Well, maybe after that prophecy, Maca, the so-called "successor of pain", was added to its target.

Therefore, Maca simply followed his plan and got a fake Edward out on the night of the event, and wandered around Hogsmeade Village for a while.

Sure enough, he immediately trapped the two attackers with this one hand, and successfully captured them alive by using the petrification ability of the Alienated Acromantula.

"...Now I hope that Xiaoba and the others won't get lost," Maca tapped each of the two black-robed disciples in front of him, reducing their size, "Otherwise, we can only rely on Let’s dig out some information from the brains of these two people.”

Thinking so, he put both of them away, and then turned over the window, and directly merged into the groggy night outside from the window.

...

When Maca was relying on the guidance of the spiders to track them all the way away, most of the little wizards at Hogwarts had already returned to the dormitories or common rooms of the colleges.

And Erns, who was "active" when everyone went to watch the game tonight, was already sitting at the round table in the Hufflepuff basement and doing today's homework.

It's a pity that today's encounter made him completely unable to concentrate, let alone write that extremely boring thesis on the history of magic.

"call--"

Frowning slightly, Ens threw the quill back into the ink bottle full of boredom, and let out a low, inaudible breath.

Logically speaking, escaping from Draco Malfoy, who has absolute strength compared to himself, can be said to be thanks to Lucky Chocolate. If the stun spell hadn't been a bit off, he would have been knocked off the broomstick directly, and he would have even passed out on the spot.

Yes, the sense of crisis that Felicia Felicia brought to him was truly astonishingly strong, making it impossible for him to think about the possibility of counterattack at that time. Apart from running away as soon as possible, I am afraid there will be no second choice.

But now, deep in Ensi's heart, there was still extreme unwillingness. He really wanted to know how much he could do if he chose to resist at that time.

Will it win?

Even though he couldn't get even the slightest possibility no matter how he thought about it, he still couldn't help thinking about it. Because there is no doubt that Malfoy is the strongest person he has ever felt since he entered Hogwarts.

Ernes' will is obviously extremely strong.

That's why he can pass the test left by Salazar Slytherin; that's why, after facing an overwhelming force that is almost irresistible, he will still have the desire and fighting spirit to fight against it.

So, he will-

"...At present, it is impossible for me alone to resist that Malfoy," Ens couldn't help narrowing his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised an arc, "but strength...it doesn't just refer to personal ability , isn’t having reliable friends also a part of strength?”

Just like the experiment that encouraged Alexander to use Neville to make lucky chocolates, although he was similar to the Slytherins in many ways, he did not reject the so-called friendship. It's just because of his personality that he is doomed to have a hard time giving true trust, making it extremely difficult to make friends.

Of course, his broken mouth is often the culprit of broken friendships sometimes, and he is somewhat self-aware of this.

"Oops, what I said in the library before seems a bit too much..." Enston curled his lips for a while, and then sighed helplessly, "Hmm... I seem to have mentioned the practice of sparring at that time. matter, or else..."

He seldom regrets something, but this time it seems that he will inevitably feel annoyed.

"No, it's easy to talk about anything else, but the competition is absolutely impossible to lose," Ensi shook his head resolutely, "Besides, that guy seems to have improved a lot recently, even if I don't let the water go, maybe Also... No, no, how could I lose to him?"

Thinking about it this way, he simply put the matter behind him and stopped thinking about it.

Picking up the quill again from the ink bottle, Ens stared at the parchment in front of him and pondered for a while, and finally couldn't bear to raise his head and shouted.

"Hey, which buddy has finished his thesis on the history of magic? Lend me to have a look—"

Even if the self-esteem is as high as Enns, he can only choose to retreat in a head-to-head confrontation with the history of magic. No way, he was asleep throughout History of Magic class, and he only listened to the first few words of Professor Binns in the first class from beginning to end.

To be honest, this course is not something normal students would like to learn at all. If it weren't for this compulsory course, I am afraid that it will set a glorious record for the fewest number of electives every year.

"Hey, didn't you look down on my homework last night, and today you can't help it..."

Hufflepuff House is always harmonious. Even if there is an odd number like Ens, it will not change the joy and harmony of the little badgers.

That alone was quite different from the standoff in the Slytherin common room right now.
