Chapter 735 It Happens to Be Suspicious

The Astronomy Tower at Hogwarts Castle has always been a very popular place.

Especially the round platform at the top of the tower, as the highest place in the castle, the view here is very wide. Looking down from the tower, most of the vestibule is enough to have a panoramic view; and looking up, the sky seems to be within reach.

Therefore, even when they are not in astronomy class, those little wizards who like to be quiet often come here. Sometimes just looking up at the sky wall, whether it is the blue sky and white clouds or the stars and the moon, can make people calm down involuntarily.

Even Dumbledore in the past would sometimes want to come here to relax—especially when encountering some major decisions that need to be made.

In fact, Albus Dumbledore's brilliant life in this world ended here.

And today, perhaps at about the same time, the round platform at the top of the Astronomy Tower welcomed two little guys who looked a little distant.

"Ens, should you say it now?"

Right now, the setting sun has just sunk into the mountains, and the sky in the west is still faintly red. But the night from the east has already occupied most of the sky wall, which seems to say that the coming of night is already unstoppable.

At this moment, Alexander was holding on to the wall outside the high platform, looking absently at the school vestibule below.

It can be clearly seen from here that the temporary market has almost been dismantled, and Professor Hagrid and Professor Sprout are busy restoring the turf, but it seems that it is almost finished.

But Alexander didn't care about these things. After all, he didn't seem to enjoy this grand event very much from the beginning. As for who is responsible for this...

Alexander didn't look back, because he knew that the guy who made him waste the whole weekend was standing behind him now!

"……say what?"

At this moment, Ensi stopped in the middle of the round platform. He just raised his neck and stared at the gradually appearing stars on the sky wall, consciously or unconsciously.

He is not interested in astronomy at all, but if he just admires the deep starry sky above his head, that is another story.

"What do you think you should say?" Alexander was very dissatisfied with Ensi's answer, "You promised to give me an explanation afterwards!"

However, Ensi, who raised his head, curled his lips impatiently.

"That's just what you're talking to yourself," he said dryly, "I don't remember ever saying anything to you!"

Hearing Ensi's shamelessness, Alexander finally couldn't help turning around, and stared at the former with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"Hey! Ensi Taon!" He said angrily, "Is your reputation and self-esteem so worthless?"

In view of Alexander's stern condemnation, Ensi couldn't help but waved his hand after all.

"All right, all right, if you want to know, I'll tell you—" he said helplessly, "What about 'reputation and self-esteem'... I just think it's too troublesome to talk about too many things!"

Immediately, Ernst paused for a moment, then spread his hands and asked, "So, what do you want to know?"

"Of course it is all of them!" Alexander immediately said unceremoniously,

"Let's start with why you suddenly postponed the practice of the spell without saying a word!"

"Where do we have to start?" Ensi couldn't help gasping when he heard that, "You kid is crazy!"

Having said that, in fact, if you want to explain things clearly, you really have to start from the beginning. So, since he accidentally discovered the Hufflepuff Chamber of Secrets, Erns still reluctantly gave an explanation for Alexander.

Up to now, there is nothing wrong with these things, because the series of incidents from beginning to end will now come to an end on Maca's side.

At least, that's what Erns thought in his heart.

But even though he had omitted as much as possible, he was still greatly relieved when he finally finished talking about the situation in which he was sent back by Maca.

"This is the 'all' you want to know," Ensi said, rolling his eyes. "How about it? Do you find it useful after hearing it?"

Alexander also didn't expect that Ernes had experienced so many messy things during this short period of time. After pondering for a while, he shook his head slightly.

"I don't know if it will be useful, but..." He looked at Ensi and said very straightforwardly, "I think it is certain that you will be severely punished."

"It's more than that," Ensi pursed his lips, and a trace of distress appeared on his gradually tense face, "Maybe he will be ordered to drop out of school..."

"That should...not be the case?" Alexander shook his head immediately, but his tone was full of uncertainty.

This time Ens didn't speak again, he just felt a little bit of coolness coming from his lower back—it was pulled from the huge black stone tablet he pulled out, and was given to him by Salazar Slytherin across the millennium one's gift.

Of course, that may also be a trouble.

"Anyway, it's all thanks to Professor McLean's help that I'm able to come back this time. I'm very satisfied to be alive." Ens said indifferently, "As for expulsion from school or other punishments, I accept them all."

"Ugh--"

Alexander sighed rather weakly.

He thought that after this series of riots, he might find a chance to reconcile with Ensi. At least this friend of Ensi, he never planned to give up from the beginning to the end.

But now it seems that Ensi is not in the mood to take care of these friends or not for the time being.

It was probably because Ens had been telling the story for a long time. Only then did Alexander realize that it was completely dark.

"It's getting late, let's go back first!" He greeted casually, "Didn't Professor McGonagall say that he's going back to the common room early today..."

"I know."

Of course Erns knew, because this was decided based on Maca's message, and at that time, wasn't he just listening to it in the principal's office?

However, just when the two were about to turn back and walk up the stairs, an inconspicuous black figure passed silently in the corner of the vestibule downstairs, and was inadvertently glimpsed by Alexander who was closer to the outer edge of the platform.

"wait--"

He quickly stopped turning around again, stretched his neck and looked towards the vestibule under the night.

"It seems that there is something just now..."

In fact, Alexander couldn't guarantee whether he was dazzled or not. After all, the moon often hid behind the clouds tonight, and the thin moonlight was not enough to dispel the darkness of the night.

"What did you see?"

Ensi, who has just experienced many dangers, has been tense today. Even when dealing with these seemingly superficial things, he can't let himself relax in the slightest.

Just as he was talking, he also leaned on the wall and looked down, but he didn't immediately notice anything unusual.

"Over there—" Alexander stretched out his hand, pointing to an edge of the Forbidden Forest, "I seem to have seen a large figure there just now, and it seems to have burrowed into the forest."

Ensi didn't speak when he heard it, but stared at the approximate location Alexander pointed at for a moment. The two were separated by a wall, and they were carefully observing whether there would be any changes over there.

But after a while, except for the slight swaying caused by the night wind blowing through the canopy of the Forbidden Forest, the two of them didn't see any special movement again.

"...Did you read it wrong?"

"Er...maybe?"

Ensi, who waited and waited for no sign, couldn't help asking. And Alexander's uncertain answer inevitably made him slap his forehead heavily.

"Next time, see clearly and—"

Before he finished complaining, he saw a figure that the two of them couldn't find finally appeared, but that figure passed from the castle, not from the forbidden forest.

"Who is that?"

Ens lowered his head and looked down, but since the other party seemed to be wearing a cloak, from their angle, they couldn't see anything at all.

But after a while, the two found that the man seemed to be walking towards Hagrid's hunting lodge.

"what?"

Just when Ensi was trying to figure out some clues, Alexander suddenly let out a light snort. He seemed to have found some clues first.

"What's the matter?" Ernes asked casually.

"That seems to be the champion of the alchemy contest decided today," Alexander said, "I recognize her crutch covered with skulls!"

"champion?"

Alexander, who stayed on the field at that time, had watched the game, so he had a deep impression on the old witch, while Ens, who had hardly watched the game, of course was not clear.

"One of the two leaders of the African delegation is said to have quite a reputation in the African magic circle..." Alexander said, hesitantly said, "However, because the actual award ceremony is arranged in the conference hall of the International Federation of Wizards , the delegation seems to have gone back in the evening, right?"

"Did you see them leave with your own eyes?" Ernes asked immediately.

"...That's not true." After hearing this, Alexander could only shake his head, "Well, maybe she wants to stay at Hogwarts for a visit? Or, is there someone she knows in school?"

"Who knows?"

Ensi thought about it, and although he didn't think of anything suspicious, he felt something was wrong in his heart.

"Forget it, maybe I'm thinking too much..."

Even he himself understood that today's encounter might have made him too nervous. It's just that when he thought of the words that Maca asked the silver eagle to send back, he couldn't convince himself that everything he saw at this time was a coincidence.

After all, Maca had ordered in advance to "make sure no one is outside the castle".

"No," Ensi frowned, "I still feel a little suspicious..."
