Chapter 35 A peaceful day
"Peeves really knows how to seize the moment..."
Andrew sighed in his heart, but he had no idea of going to the castle gate - he was just a first-year student, should he go to give away his head?
That's an elf who dared to say no to all previous principals!
He dominated the castle when Dumbledore wasn't around, and now it's happily doing mischief.
"Just wait, the war will subside..."
Andrew leaned back on the chair and began to whisper the shoelace spell to his shoelaces - driven by such a slight spell, the two shoelaces moved slowly as if they were recovering, and he Several roommates moved their chairs out of curiosity and began to try this rather boring spell.
Peeves' mischief was finally restrained when Andrew was able to control his shoelaces and tie them himself, and the senior class who returned in droves hit him several times with the bread thrown by Peeves in return. The elf finally felt bored and left the passage cursing.
'Okay, the first piece of defense against Peeves - let him shoot himself in the foot...'
Andrew silently wrote this down in his mind, and by the way expressed his gratitude to Ham, the senior and club leader in front of him, who bought a bunch of snacks for him.
"Study hard and go to the library is a good habit - knowledge is the greenhouse where wisdom is born."
He smiled and patted Andrew on the shoulder, quite like a leader inspecting, then turned and left.
"It is indeed the most strict club in the hospital..."
Hal looked envious after Ham left - obviously, he was KFC.
'I'm just pretending, but I can't say it yet...'
Andrew held his tongue tightly with some slander. The club's opinions on the club meeting were the club's opinions and would not be disseminated to the outside world. He didn't want to be targeted by a bunch of seniors because of his mouth.
If there is someone who is destructive or overly bullying, he will definitely deal with it, but just because of the attitude problem that is not revealed - if he has no nose because of this opposition, it would be too extreme to say that he is too extreme.
Of course, this title is very abrupt, but firstly, everyone heard that his real name was under a spell, so no one dared to shout it, and secondly, the main reason he knew was to listen to the explanation...
As far as he knew, Mr. Nose had a lot of people with different intentions, but that one was punished because he didn't do things well. He couldn't be more outrageous than Mr. Nose.
Go back to the lounge and share the snacks - there is no doubt that Andrew's share is the largest, but there is nothing to divide. The things of several people are simply piled together and placed on the table playing cards in the middle. Who would have thought Just take it.
"Sleep, there may be owls coming tomorrow, we must not let this happen again!"
However, when Andrew got up the next day, it was just getting light and the owl had no intention of disturbing him.
After thinking for a minute or two, and remembering what he said to his roommate before going to bed yesterday, Andrew decided to leave secretly - he had studied too hard in those days and was very tired, so he took a relatively long time to sleep. He might have gone to bed too early yesterday. , so he rested for a while and felt full of energy. If he called someone up at this point, he was afraid that he would end up in the campus hospital...
"Let's run... I've finished my thesis and my homework... I've been busy with magic these days, and I've actually fallen behind on such an important skill as running..."
Quietly getting up, getting dressed, Andrew began to walk down while admiring the morning lounge.
Hogwarts was still a little dark at five o'clock, and most of the oil paintings on the wall were resting. When Andrew passed by, one or two oil paintings occasionally yawned and glanced at him, and then went to rest on their own.
"It seems like there really aren't many people who get up early..."
He decided to run a bit around the Black Lake - the course was nice but definitely occupied.
+++
"Huh..." After completing half a circle, Andrew stopped by a willow tree, took a breath, and began to walk forward at a slightly faster speed - leaving it behind for more than a week. He was a little tired.
The scenery of the Black Lake is just right at the moment, and the most wonderful thing is that no couples are coming - although there will be couples doing morning exercises together, but considering that yesterday was a Saturday, such a small probability has been wiped out.
But the small probability thing that frightened Andrew still happened - there was a Hufflepuff wandering on the shore of the lake in front, walking back and forth, as if he was planning to rush into the lake.
"Sorry, classmate over there, have you seen my toad?"
Andrew only hesitated for a moment before finding his excuse.
"toad?"
The other party was stunned for a moment, then turned around, "I didn't see it here."
"ah?"
He showed a disappointed expression, "It's not big, but it has been holding back a lot during this period. I originally wanted to let it go to the Black Lake for a swim when there were fewer people, but it suddenly ran away..."
"How about I help you find it?"
The other party just asked tentatively, and Andrew immediately followed, "Is this okay? That's great, thank you..."
'First, entangle him so that he doesn't think about anything else, then ask insinuatingly about the recent situation, and then try to enlighten him. ’
With this thought in mind, Andrew started to lie, "My roommate said it prefers freedom. I don't know, maybe we are not suitable for each other..."
"It's possible. Think about how big a body of water the Black Lake is. Living here is definitely better than living in the dormitory. Moreover, it is said that there is Slytherin's treasure here. Maybe it went to study."
After a slight hesitation, the Hufflepuff, whom Andrew did not recognize, lowered his voice, "I have seen many conjectures saying this, so I have been researching related content. You know, there was another strong one recently. Strong proof."
? ? ?
Something seems wrong.
"Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell you. Several of our classmates have begun to prepare to go to the Black Lake to see it. We usually prepare... If we go to the bottom of the lake and see your toad, we will take your thoughts there and bring it back. Blessed…”
You are lying to children!
Wait a minute - Andrew realized after complaining in his heart that he was thinking too much.
It's not that the other party can't think about it, but he is eager to see through the Black Lake - especially the story that serves as supporting evidence.
"Fourth grader, Jack."
The other party stretched out his hand, and Andrew felt a little embarrassed, and finally chose to give his real name - one lie could cover it up, but no more could tell.
"First grader, Andrew."
"Okay, I remember, I will help you search carefully. If there is any news, I will ask the school owl to give it to you. I will go there to take a look and help you find it. Of course, I still doubt its free life. That’s it, goodbye.”
"Goodbye, I'll go look for him over there again. Maybe he's just naughty..."
Andrew pretended to be anxious and also tried to find the non-existent toad - he would just sneak back to have some snacks and then go to the library... He didn't even go to the cafeteria! This is too embarrassing!
