Chapter 667 Follow up

By the way, Ens had only walked two steps after he came out of the kitchen, when he heard footsteps coming from a corner not far away. Since it was night, and the night was so quiet that even a needle dropped on the ground could be heard far away, the footsteps were heard very clearly in his ears.

He was worried about two things now—first, whether the creaking sound of closing the fruit portrait just now had been heard by the other party; and second, where should he hide himself next.

Just listening to the unhurried footsteps, the answer to the first question became obvious.

To say that it is quite normal for the little badgers to go to the kitchen to get some food, they come and go as casually as if they were at home. After all, there is only such a small distance between the two places, but the entire Hogwarts Castle is as big as a small city. If you want to be encountered by the professor or Filch who is watching the night, the chances cannot be lowered. .

Oh...what to do, Ensi has always been quite courageous, and he is not panicked at the moment, but if he is caught just like this, he will definitely not be happy. The other party will definitely hear it once. And when the entrance to the common room is opened, there is no sound, but go through here and knock on the wooden barrel lid... Damn, why did the founder of Hufflepuff tinker with a What about such a troublesome way to open the door?

Little Ins's head was spinning fast enough, these thoughts only stayed in his mind for a moment, and then he threw them all aside.

Naturally, he also knew that instead of complaining now, it would be more effective to find a solution quickly.

Of course, Enns' time at Hogwarts was too short after all. He didn't know that if the common room of other colleges wanted to open the door, there would be much more commotion than Hufflepuff's.

However, time waits for no one. Ensi just hesitated for a few seconds, and before he could think of a good way to escape, the footsteps seemed to be very close to the corner.

He judged correctly just now, there is only one corridor without any fork in the road, as long as the other party turns around, he will be able to have a panoramic view of everything in this corridor.

No way, I can only hide it as much as possible...

Even though hiding in this almost unobstructed corridor is definitely a bad idea, but with no choice, this seems to be his only way out.

The moment he made up his mind, Erns decisively ran against the wall and ran deeper into the corridor.

For the Hufflepuffs who often come and go here, everything in this corridor is well known. Although Erns has not been in school for a long time, at least this corridor is relatively familiar.

He leaned against the wall and trotted forward with light steps, while keeping an eye on the left and right without giving up, but found that there was really no place suitable for Tibetans.

In desperation, he simply lifted a corner of a certain tapestry on the side of the corridor, and got in with his back against the cold brick wall.

To be honest, although this beautifully woven tapestry is large enough, it hangs down from the place close to the ceiling wall of the corridor after all. When he drilled in, although the upper body could not be seen, but the lower two legs were still exposed in a majestic manner, only a fool could not see it!

The moment he just hid, a figure came out from the corner at the other end. Seeing his stooped back carrying a lantern and swaying, he is naturally the janitor Filch who made a big joke in the auditorium not long ago.

When the love potion is in effect, it will confuse the spiritual will of the user. However, it is not like the Imperius Curse. After the effect fades, the memory of the lost time will not become blurred, but will become as clear as vividly.

So during this period of time, although Filch didn't know who had punished him, he must have been extremely annoyed. Originally, he hated this group of little brats who are running wild and not learning well, but now that he has done this, let alone how angry he is.

...if I catch you, I'll hang you on an iron chain and whip you...I haven't forgotten to oil those cute little toys all day, you nasty ones... just wait and see...

Filch, while chattering to himself, walked slowly towards the depths of the corridor step by step. Although the underground corridor was definitely dark at night, he had a lantern in his hand, and if he got close to Enns' hiding place, he would definitely notice the pair of unusually eye-catching calves under the tapestry immediately.

Ernes touched the wand on his waist, but after thinking for a while, he lowered his hand.

His current spellcasting is still not stable, and he doesn't learn many spells, and the direction of his usual practice is even more inclined to duel spells. And no matter what, I have practiced all day today, and I haven't even recovered yet! No one can tell if something will go wrong when using it at the moment.

Besides, the night excursion is actually not a big deal, but if you use a spell to deal with the Hogwarts gatekeeper, the nature of the matter is different.

However, he couldn't think of any good solution at the moment, but Filch obviously wouldn't give him time.

As the opponent got closer and closer, Ensi, who was always paying attention to the footsteps, couldn't help showing a trace of anxiety on his face. To be honest, his current way of hiding looks really stupid. If someone finds out... With his self-esteem, he might as well show himself in front of Filch directly!

...Damn it, get punished if you get punished! What's the big deal!

Just when he saw from the bottom of the tapestry that the light from the lantern was about to spread to his insteps, he gritted his teeth silently, and planned to stand up alone.

But in the next second, Ensi, who was subconsciously touching his pocket, suddenly had a bright eye, and then shrank his toes slightly. While avoiding the light as much as possible, he took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, and before he could even peel off the tinfoil wrapping, he stuffed it into his mouth and bit down hard.

When a rich and sweet chocolate smell spread from his mouth, the wonderful feeling that accompanied him almost the whole day today filled his whole body again. And the atrium in his chest, which was gradually blocked by anxiety, immediately became clear and brightened.

What to do now? Isn't that obvious!

A kind of unique self-confidence engulfed Enns' thinking, and he gave his right hand an almost instinctive command—draw out the wand, and wave it at the pastry portrait beside the pile of wooden barrels opposite.

As a freshman at Hogwarts within the common sense range, Erns didn't know any high-end silent spell skills. But he doesn't need to cast a decent spell right now - he just needs to make the portrait make a little noise, and that's enough to achieve his goal.

Sure enough, a chaotic magical force passed by the portrait, slightly skewed it, but also made a suspicious sound.

In the past few nights, Filch, who had been keeping his spirits up all the time, turned his head abruptly when he heard the sound, and leaned towards the pile of wooden barrels opposite without hesitation with the lantern in his hand. He wants to see if any kid dares to play hide-and-seek under his nose.

But what Erns was waiting for was the moment when Filch turned his head!

I saw him slamming his wand on the other side of the corridor where the light could hardly be found, and he recited the spell very boldly in this quiet place...

Floating into the air.

His chanting is not loud, but this corridor is really too quiet. Not to mention speaking, even the heavy movement of footsteps will be heard clearly.

However, Ensi, who ate a piece of Felix Elixir chocolate, had an indescribable clarity in his heart—his actions were absolutely correct!

So, at the moment when Filch heard someone chanting a spell and turned around quickly, the tapestry covering Erns' upper body suddenly moved. Under the control of the Levitation Spell, it huddled into a ball with a crash, and rushed straight towards Filch. When Filch was suddenly taken aback, it turned a corner extremely nimbly and stuck to the ground. He flew in the direction Filch had come from.

This sudden shock made Filch's heart beat a lot faster, and even a layer of cold sweat appeared on his slightly bald forehead.

But after all, he has been working as a janitor at Hogwarts for so long, and has experienced all kinds of harassment by Fred and George, a pair of troublesome geniuses. What the hell hasn't he seen?

It was only in a blink of an eye that he realized that there really were students who went out at night! And that student not only played tricks on himself, but even wanted to run away!

Filch immediately widened his eyes, bared his yellow teeth, turned around with the lantern in his hand, and chased after him. He could see that the shadow was so fast that it had already become a bit indistinct in the dark corridor from a distance, but he could barely catch a figure from behind.

However, Filch didn't realize that his so-called Night Walking Student was actually just a woven tapestry hanging on the wall. As for Ens, who directed the escape scene, he probably took this opportunity to sneak towards the entrance of the Hufflepuff common room...?

No, what was surprising was that not only did he not take the opportunity to go back to the dormitory, but instead he controlled the ball of tapestry and followed Filch in the darkness behind Filch.

If ordinary people got such a good opportunity, they must have slipped away long ago. But only wizards who are proficient in potions know that people who have taken the Felicity Elixir cannot be judged by the common sense of the world, and they usually have some unique and strange ideas.

For example, Ensi now, he originally wanted to sneak back to the dormitory directly. But when he took the first step, he somehow came up with an idea - he should follow!
