night.

Although Jack had a hundred reluctances in his heart.

But he was still forced to leave the dormitory by Emilia.

The two of them walked forward in the darkness, one behind the other.

Jack was extremely nervous on his first night outing.

In the dark and silent night, he could even hear his own rapid heartbeat.

The only thing that makes Jack feel lucky now is that the Hogwarts kitchen is very close to the Hufflepuff common room.

Not long after leaving, they saw the painting of a bowl of fruit.

Every Hufflepuff, including Jack, knew that if you scratched a pear in the painting, it would giggle, then turn into a green doorknob, revealing the Hogwarts kitchen.

's entrance.

Anyone who is a Hufflepuff will receive the warmest hospitality from the house elves after entering the kitchen.

This is the legacy of Lady Helga Hufflepuff.

Even though more than a thousand years have passed, the house elves at Hogwarts still remember the kindness of being taken in by Ms. Hufflepuff.

But their mission tonight is not to enter the kitchen.

Emilia took Jack and hid together in a dark corner next to the entrance to the kitchen.

Then she lowered her voice and said:

"I'll say it one last time! As soon as Barney shows up later, I will knock him out with [Stunning] first! Then we will attack together and give Barney a good beating!"

Jack said weakly:

"Do I...do I want to hit someone too?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Emilia glared at him and said, "In order to help you stand up this time, of course you have to do it yourself! And this is a training for you! After the first time for everything,

There will be countless times. As long as you can beat him today, you will not be so scared when you meet him in the future! This is for your own good, understand!?"

Jack pursed his lips tightly and said:

"But it is against school rules to cast magic in the corridor, and you still attack others directly with magic. Emilia...will you be punished by the professor for doing this?"

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]

Amelia seemed to be shocked by Jack's question.

She looked at Jack with an unbelievable look, and after a long time, she hated the steel and said:

"Are you stupid? It's night now, and there's no one around! After I knocked Barney unconscious, who would know that it was me who cast [fainted]? Is it possible that you will still tell the truth?"

Jack was startled and said hurriedly:

"No no! Of course I don't...well!"

Emilia hurriedly covered Jack's mouth, lowered her voice and said hastily:

"Idiot! The sound is too loud! Stop talking from now on and wait!"

Jack nodded quickly and hid in the darkness with Amelia.

To be honest, Jack was quite nervous at the beginning.

Because he couldn't help but think about how he would hit someone later.

Should I just kick him?

Or use fists?

This random thought made his heart beat faster.

However, when a full two hours passed, Jack's nervousness dissipated.

Instead, there was sleepiness.

"Oh-"

Jack couldn't help but yawn.

Emilia on the side suddenly cast an unkind look.

When Jack saw this, he hurriedly covered his mouth again.

But not long after, he couldn't hold himself back and said:

"Emilia, it's been so long, Barney shouldn't be here, right?"

"Shut up! He will definitely come! Sure!"

Emilia said anxiously, "In the past few months, he went to the kitchen every night to turn on the stove. There is no reason why he suddenly stopped coming today? Or did he receive the news in advance? No, that can't be the case.

If he had known about it in advance, he would have asked the professor to catch us traveling at night! In other words, he encountered other things today, so he was delayed? "

Listening to Emilia talking to herself, Jack curled his lips and said:

"Otherwise, we'd better go back first and come back another day."

Amelia took a deep breath and did not answer.

But judging from her expression, she should be tempted by this proposal.

But at this moment, a short black shadow suddenly jumped in front of the two of them.

Now Jack's sleepiness disappeared and he said nervously:

"what is that?"

"I don't know!" Amelia murmured, "But it's definitely not Barney, the figure doesn't match him!"

Jack said nervously:

"Could it be a ghost? Peeves? The Fat Friar? Or almost headless Nick..."

"It's not a ghost!" Emilia said, "The shadows of ghosts are not that obvious, they are all translucent!"

"Then what do you think it will be?" Jack said with some fear, "Amelia, otherwise we should go back!"

"If you want to go back, go back by yourself! I will never accept returning without success today! I'm going to see what the hell is going on!"

Emilia gritted her teeth and said, then she stood up and chased after him.

Jack was a little at a loss.

He stood there looking at the entrance to the Hufflepuff common room for a while, and then looking at Amelia's back, looking extremely confused.

But when Amelia's back gradually ran away and was about to disappear around the corner, Jack gritted his teeth and chased after her.

The two of them ran through the corridors and climbed the stairs one after the other, and finally found the black figure in the foyer again.

Emilia stopped Jack who was still running forward, covering her mouth with one hand and covering Jack's with the other hand to prevent the two of them from breathing too loudly.

And under the gaze of the two people.

The short figure stood in front of the magic staircase, holding a piece of parchment and looking at it carefully, as if to identify the direction.

After a full two minutes passed, the black figure put away the parchment and began to move up the magic staircase.

"Hurry! It's our turn!"

Amelia shouted and dragged Jack to follow her.

They followed the black shadow, circling here and there on the ever-changing magic stairs, until Jack felt like he was being knocked out before they walked out of the stairs and stepped onto a corridor.

"Where are we?"

Jack asked breathlessly.

Emilia didn't answer him, but held the corner of the wall and looked across the corridor.

The black shadow was standing in front of a big wooden door over there.

I just saw him, or he stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the door, and the door lock automatically unlocked easily.

With one more click, the entire door was opened inwards.

Seeing the black shadow slowly entering the door, Amelia rushed forward without saying a word, and Jack was forced to follow.

But as soon as Jack ran through the gate, he was stopped by Amelia again.

Jack took a closer look and realized that the black figure had not gone far, but was standing not far in front of them, looking around for something.

If he had continued to rush forward like this, he would have been discovered.

"Thank you, Emilia."

Jack thanked.

"Shh-"

Emilia made a silent gesture and pulled Jack behind a pillar in front.

At the same time, the black shadow seemed to have found what he wanted.
