After consuming a precious elixir of chocolate, he managed to lure Filch away, but now he followed him inexplicably.
What is he going to do
Not to mention that if you ask others about this kind of thing, you will be puzzled. In fact, even Enns himself doesn't know. All he knows now is that the wonderful power born from the elixir of blessing is clearly guiding him, and he should follow it!
The underground corridors of Hogwarts are winding. Enns followed not far behind Filch, continuing to control the crumpled tapestry and rushing forward in the darkness ahead. Soon, corners were turned, portraits were left behind, and even the stairs leading to the foyer were ignored.
Fortunately, most of the portraits in the underground corridor depict food, scenery, or various strange and magical creatures. Even if there are occasionally a few portraits of people, most of them are napping late at night. When they were in a daze and opened their eyes when they heard the noise, Filch and Enns had already run over.
Putting aside the thoughts in Enns' head at the moment, Filch was extremely angry right now. In his heart, the person "running" in front of him must be a student, and he made up his mind to pursue it to the end.
If he could catch this little kid who dared to wander around at night, he would definitely give him a good lesson, and then "escort" him to the principal's office overnight to make the matter even bigger. In this case, not only can he vent his anger in recent days, but it can also improve the memory of those little bastards. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
However, just as Filch was chasing after him with a strange feeling of anger and excitement, Enns suddenly felt that the tapestry he controlled with the floating spell seemed to hit something, and stopped suddenly in the middle.
And at this moment, it suddenly dawned on Enns's mind - you know, there is more than just a common room for Hufflepuff in the underground corridor of Hogwarts. Somewhere at the other end of the corridor is another common room known as Slytherin's dungeon!
The underground corridor is an unobstructed stone passage. Not to mention the middle, there are few obstacles that can be called obstacles near the stone walls on both sides. Then there is no doubt that the tapestry flying close to the ground must have hit someone.
Moreover, it is very likely that he is a Slytherin student who is also wandering around tonight.
Thinking of this, Enns immediately swung the wand in his hand to the side, and the tapestry that had flown around the next corner immediately bypassed a suspicious "obstacle" and was thrown deeper into the corridor with the sound of wind. at. The next moment, Filch had already turned the corner excitedly, and then a powerful shout resounded throughout this corridor.
"Stop! Did I catch you? Haha..."
To be honest, Slytherin today is actually much more restrained than in the past. The relationship between the four major colleges has not been eased, but at least there is no tendency to continue to deteriorate.
But grudges are just grudges, and it is impossible to get back together in a short time, and other houses always have a bad feeling about Slytherin. In addition, Enns does not feel much guilt at all about these frame-ups. He can be said to not care about anyone who has nothing to do with him.
When Enns heard Filch's shout of joy, he knew that what the elixir had guided him to do was done.
Immediately, he just poked his head at the base of the wall to the other side of the corner.
Since there was no Filch's lantern for lighting, in the complete darkness, even if someone looked towards him, they would not be able to see clearly. So he boldly glanced in that direction a few times, wanting to see which unlucky guy was so pitiful that he had suddenly tricked him.
At first glance, he saw a very eye-catching touch of gold, which immediately came into his sight. But at the second glance, a cold and indifferent face made his heart skip a beat.
But the next third glance, when those gloomy eyes slightly covered by golden bangs were piercing towards Enns, he almost retracted his head as fast as he could, and his scalp was even more... It was a moment of tightness.
"Walk!"
At that moment, this word flashed through his mind. It was clear and concise, but it made him unable to resist. He understood that this was also a guide given to him by the Fortune Elixir... or in other words, this was a very clear warning.
So, he straightened up without hesitation, turned around and ran away. Behind him, Filch's teasing and scolding continued, but the distance quickly became farther and farther, and soon he could no longer hear clearly.
This fierce run made Enns breathe heavily involuntarily. When he felt that he could no longer run, he was shocked to find that he was back near the Hufflepuff common room.
"Huh...huh...hiss..."
He held on to the pile of iron-banded wooden barrels at the entrance to the common room, gritted his teeth and took a few breaths. The cool night air slightly extinguished the burning heat in his chest, and re-infused strength into his sore legs.
"...Huh, who is that guy...?"
Usually he doesn't pay much attention to the existence of other people, even classmates who belong to the same college, let alone people from other colleges. But that look just now made him have to engrav the other person deeply in his heart.
Yes, the moment his eyes met, Enns felt a sharp chill in his heart. He knew that it was an extremely dangerous premonition that he could not ignore at all.
"Looking at the man's college robes with green trim, he must be Slytherin..." Enns tapped the lid of a certain barrel quickly and rhythmically with his wand a few times, while secretly saying I thought, "Is it a senior? What a scary look... But, hum... interesting..."
Although there was already a little bit of cold sweat on his back just because they had only met each other for a few seconds at best, his expression was filled with surprise and a bit of a proud sneer.
"Although the old man at home said he was unreliable, the words he said before he sent me here were right... Hogwarts is indeed not simple," he muttered in his heart, "wizards, potions,... Curse... What an interesting thing! Did my mother always deal with these things before she was alive... "
While thinking to himself for a moment, he quickly walked into the doorway exposed by the moved barrel without stopping. After he entered, as the removed barrels rolled back silently one by one, the doorway quickly closed and disappeared.
…
In fact, the time Enns spent running back and forth was not enough time to drink a cup of black tea. When he went through a lot of twists and turns and returned to the familiar common room, nothing seemed to have changed.
The room was still dark, and the little fluorescent lights outside the round window were still dancing up and down, emitting a soft light. The many bonsai plants in the lounge still spread fresh fragrance, adding bits and pieces of nature to the air here.
Enns randomly picked a chair with a backrest, sat on it and took a good breath, soothing the nerves that had been tense just now. After a few minutes, he regained his breath and stood up again, walking towards the arched underground passage leading to the bedroom.
Because the time is too short, even the partially effective chocolate has not yet exhausted its medicinal properties. This is really too wasteful. But there is no way, this is the dormitory at night, and it seems that it is inconvenient to do anything except go back to sleep.
So Enns could only return to the dormitory quietly in the dark with great regret.
"... Speaking of which, during the sorting process, was I almost sorted into Slytherin?"
Enns, who was walking in the passage, suddenly stopped and thought secretly that he was lucky. Although he is confident enough and believes that as long as he keeps working hard, he will be able to become a wizard comparable to McClane and Dumbledore in the future, but it is definitely not possible at the moment.
He can be proud, but he will not be arrogant because of pride. At least he could understand that his current self was absolutely incomparable to the previous owner of those eyes.
"Now, I have seen powerful characters, but..." Enns stopped where he was, silently measuring in the darkness, "I have been listening to others talk about the deeds of Professor MacLean, and my ears are almost numb. Okay... But how capable is that guy? Compared to the Slytherin just now... well, he should be stronger, right?"
He thought for a while and finally shook his head. For him, it seems too early to consider these things now, so he should stay down-to-earth and practice hard first!
Burying all the messy thoughts in his mind, Enns took another step and walked forward quietly.
To be honest, Enns almost thought that tonight's matter was over. Now that sleepiness and fatigue are coming again, as long as he returns to the dormitory and gets into bed, he can sleep until early the next morning. As for other things, let’s leave it to tomorrow!
However, just when he followed the route in his memory and reached the door of the dormitory, and was about to open the door softly and go back to sleep, a flash of light flashed through his mind, causing him to touch the doorknob. His hand froze.
The feeling this time was extremely strong, so strong that he was shocked by it. The next second, he suddenly turned his head and looked farther into the passage.
It was clearly dim in front of him, and from a little further away he could only see pitch black, but he still couldn't help but look over.
"What... is there?"
