Chapter 346 Fifty-Four Another Escaper (Sorry, the vacation will be extended for two more days)
"I'm out?"
"Who am I?"
In the secluded forest, Peter, with dirty and messy hair, was holding his head with a distorted face.
He couldn't remember, really couldn't remember, he just thought it was time to run - and then he ran out.
He didn't like that dark place at all, and the inexplicable and illogical curses and hatred from the people around him gave him a headache.
He didn't understand why, and he got a headache as soon as he started thinking about it - that pain appeared since he opened his eyes in that dark house, and it has stayed with him to this day.
But escaping was easier than he thought. After the group and Grayskin started to get confused, he easily turned into a mouse and slipped out.
But then what?
What to do next?
‘What are you going to do? No, the grass roots over there look very sweet. ’
He was a little hungry, so he started to pull up the plants on the ground with his hands and teeth.
After chewing for a long time, he finally satisfied his stomach briefly. So, he began to rethink the issue.
‘The forests of Albania…’
This place came to mind and then couldn't go away, as if he had thought about that place countless times.
'But why not? ’
He started thinking again, but the pain came back - as if someone had done something to his brain.
This made him give up thinking - and those grass roots didn't seem to be as satisfying as he thought. When hunger came, he was stunned, his body began to shrink rapidly, and a mouse appeared in place.
After a few movements of its dull eyes, the mouse staggered and started to move.

"Here we go again..."
In the forest of Albany, a shapeless black shadow kept twisting and struggling, but it still couldn't resist the wisps of black energy peeling off its form.
The possessed snake underground had already lost its life, lying limply without any trace of life.
‘Is that Albus guy? ’
A terrible thought emerged from my mind, as usual, but this time it couldn't be dissipated like before.
Because the loss of power is becoming more and more serious, especially this time, there is no momentum to stop at all.
He had previously felt that living like a ghost possessed by a snake was humiliating enough, but was even such a life a luxury?
‘Last year…’
Unpleasant memories surfaced - ever since Humble was seriously injured and returned, he could only stay here to survive. But it probably didn't take long for his strength to start to drain away, but it soon stopped.
He originally thought it was an illusion caused by being too seriously injured, but now it seems that it is definitely the conspiracy of that old guy Albus!
That’s right!
The old fox who set a trap in the school to ambush him, the old guy who used the magic stone as bait!
'How could you possibly kill me? I am immortal! ’
He tried hard to gather his few powers and used his lifelong magic cultivation to fight against this damn curse.
He has been resisting for a long time and will never give in!

"For freedom and the press, I will never give in!"
When Andrew went back to class as required by the professor, the first time he entered the greenhouse, he heard this guy Hal talking about love and freedom.
‘It’s great...Campus life, just for this and that one who lost his nose should die completely. ’ He silently adjusted his mentality and suppressed the matter, “That’s right, Hal. I support your views infinitely in terms of philosophy.”
"Besides, when I just came back, I saw the prefect blocking the door of the greenhouse."
He added in a low voice, while speeding up the processing of the plants in his hands.
"The door?"
"Yes, he doesn't look too happy at the door." Andrew quickly avoided the guy who was about to bite him because of discomfort and stuffed it into the basin. "I hope you didn't say anything outrageous."
"I'm finished," Hal looked desperate, "Tyler, will you save me?"
‘Yesterday, you were just trying to kill yourself, and today you said something stupid... It’s normal for you to be hung up at the door of the lounge by the prefect...’
Andrew looked at Hal with disgust, "You can't be saved, just wait to die. We will bring you a blanket."
Although today's emergency seems very serious, after all, Dumbledore is responsible for it, and the information about the Horcrux has been passed on very well. The consequences are not serious, but the angry prefect of the seventh grade - Hal, you boy Wish yourself luck.
Ignoring Hal who looked desperate, Andrew began to work hard on his homework and successfully completed the lesson before get out of class ended.
‘It’s helpful to run to the greenhouse frequently this year. Even without deliberate training, I’m much faster. ’
This rare good news finally made Andrew's deliberately pretending calmness become somewhat real.
He handed in the assignment and received three points from Professor Sprout - "Skillful and quick technique, but still too rough. It deserves praise but not recommended for learning."
"Cool! Taylor, you scored twelve points today!"
After class, among the Ravenclaw crowd who dispersed in twos and threes, Andrew received heartfelt praise.
Everyone's enthusiasm is not as high as usual - after all, Ravenclaw won the Academy Cup last school year.
This is how the collective sense of honor is accumulated. In the past, a college had always taken that kind of help, especially with unfair means to help...
‘Where did I think about it again? I lost my concentration because of those unexpected events today? ’
Fortunately, the brief absence of concentration did not affect everyone's concentration.
Because the prefect really came - Hal was taken away alone, and all the Ravenclaws, not only were not angry at all, but were happy to see it.
There’s big news today!
But no one dared to laugh, everyone held it in, and they started laughing loudly only after the two people disappeared.
"That's right. It would suffocate me to death at home."
"No, I can't cast spells, and I have no friends. The most important thing is that I only have a few books at home, so I can't even expand my book."
"Yes, the library is the best. You can read almost all the books you want."
…
The conversation between the students on the side finally made Andrew, who spent most of the summer at school, completely calm down from his panic.
Just like Professor McGonagall said - it's time for him to get back to normal.
Learn, make progress, and accumulate strength instead of wasting your mind on things that have already happened but cannot grasp the specific situation.
"Who goes to the library?"
Andrew turned around and looked at his roommates - it was time to return to normal and start studying.
