Chapter 127 Chance Encounter
After putting a Silent Spell and a Disappearance Spell on himself, Mike dragged his tired body out of the Room of Requirement.
As soon as Mike left, the door to the Room of Requirement closed automatically and turned into a wall again, and the only remaining light on the eighth floor of Hogwarts disappeared.
After standing there for a while, until his eyes got used to the darkness, Mike opened his legs and walked towards the Hogwarts kitchen.
The kitchen was not close to the eighth floor of Hogwarts. Mike was walking slowly along the complicated corridors in the castle. When he took a flight of stairs that moved by itself to the lobby on the first floor, Mike suddenly noticed a pair of flashes appearing in a dark corner. Eyes with green light.
The alarm bells rang in Mike's heart, he held his breath, and the wand in his hand was already aimed at those eyes in an instant.
Those eyes moved silently in the darkness, gradually walking from the dark corner to the center of the hall illuminated by the moonlight.
A cat with messy fur appeared in Mike's field of vision while walking in standard cat steps. Under the moonlight, its green eyes turned sky blue again.
"It turns out to be Mrs. Loris." Mike thought so and breathed a sigh of relief. The wand in his hand returned to the wand holster, secretly thinking that he had suffered sequelae from the basilisk.
Mike turned sideways and carefully moved away from Mrs. Norris, trying to avoid it and continue to the kitchen.
However, Mrs. Norris seemed to have discovered something. She probed her head and her nose kept twitching as if she smelled something.
Seeing this, Mike's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Mrs. Loris's sense of smell to be so sensitive. Is this a cat or a dog?
Just as Mike was about to speed out of the hall, Filch's voice came from far away.
"Mrs. Norris! Come here quickly, it's time for supper. I've prepared your favorite dried fish for you."
Mrs. Norris seemed to be able to understand Filch's words. Her originally drooping tail immediately started wagging, and she ran towards the direction of Filch's voice with small steps.
Mike took this opportunity to leave the hall quickly.
He ran all the way until the entrance to the kitchen appeared in front of him, and Mike's heart finally calmed down. After Mrs. Loris's troubles, Mike's originally sleepy brain became much clearer.
Looking at the dark kitchen entrance, various delicacies appeared in Mike's mind, and saliva secreted rapidly in his mouth.
After swallowing, Mike quickened his pace and entered the cafeteria.
However, the scene in the kitchen at this moment surprised Mike.
The light in the kitchen was very bright, and Cedric was feasting alone beside a long table filled with various delicacies.
Cedric also noticed Mike, and even forgot about the chicken leg he was biting. Their eyes met, and the kitchen fell into silence.
"Are you coming for supper too?" After a long time, Mike took the lead and broke the strange atmosphere.
"Ah, you too?" Cedric said, taking off the chicken drumstick in his mouth.
"yes."
There was another moment of silence, and an air called embarrassment filled the air.
"Gu~"
Mike's stomach gave an untimely protest to Mike.
"Let's eat something together? I can't finish it anyway." Cedric looked at the embarrassed look on Mike's face and asked tentatively.
"OK!"
Mike was not polite to Cedric. He sat down at the long table and poured himself a glass of water. He drank it down before starting to destroy the delicious food on the long table.
Cedric seemed to be unaccustomed to eating with Mike. He stopped eating the half-eaten chicken leg and wiped his mouth with the tablecloth on the side, looking around at a loss.
Of course, his appearance did not escape Mike's eyes. Taking advantage of the break to drink water again, Mike asked aloud:
"Why are you eating here alone? Aren't you always followed by a group of people wherever you go?"
"Sneaking into the kitchen in the middle of the night is always against the rules. It's more convenient to be alone. Besides...I occasionally need to be alone for a while..." Cedric's voice became softer and softer, and in the end Mike almost didn't Listen clearly.
"I understand you, anyone would feel uncomfortable being stared at all day long. To be honest, your fans are too annoying." Mike said inarticulately while chewing the food in his mouth.
"Sometimes I find them quite annoying. My parents and friends all have high expectations for me, so I have to be a model student. After so many years, I can no longer tell whether I am pretending to be a good kid or really. He has become a model student in their eyes." He didn't know what caused the seizure, but Cedric said, "It's just that in the dead of night, I always feel a little sad, just like now."
Mike didn't know how to respond to Cedric's words, and the atmosphere at the scene became even more dull.
"Oh, that's right. I have a question I already wanted to ask you. When you drain the toilet, do your fans follow you?" In desperation, Mike could only change the subject abruptly, "I heard My friend said that only gay people would go to the toilet together. Could it be that you are..."
"It's nothing! Don't talk nonsense!" Cedric hurriedly denied.
Mike looked at Cedric's panicked look and thought it was very funny, so he burst out laughing. When Cedric saw this, he seemed to feel that the look he just made was a bit silly, and he also laughed.
The tense atmosphere between the two also eased.
Mike laughed so hard that he was out of breath. After he calmed down his breath, he said sincerely to Cedric: "I'm sorry, I used such a dangerous spell when I was on stage that day."
"It's okay. Professor Flitwick was in the audience at that time. You and I both know that he won't sit back and let us be in danger." Cedric didn't seem to expect that Mike would apologize for this, and there was a look of surprise on his face. Only then did he react and said with a smile, "But your spell is really powerful, but it's not very easy to control."
"No matter what, your transformation skills are amazing, and there's nothing I can do against you." Seeing that the topic had turned into the business exchange he was most familiar with, Mike skillfully continued what Cedric had said.
"Is my transformation skill powerful? Looking at the way you stayed up all night, you must have been tortured to insomnia because of this incident, right?" Seeing Mike mention his transformation skill, a rare look appeared on Cedric's face. With a proud look on his face, he asked slyly, "I dare say that my current level of transformation is definitely the strongest among all students in school, and even the vast majority of graduates are not as good as me. Do you know why this is? ?”
I'm stupid. I uploaded the chapter backwards. Now the chapter name has not been changed because I don't have permission, but the chapter content has been changed back. I'm sorry.
