Chapter 153 Every Time a Group Disappears, It Is Abnormal
Aaron almost didn't sleep all night, because Abe would wake him up every once in a while.
Every time he told him that he heard a terrible, murderous voice, which wandered around the castle, as if looking for a target to hunt.
After a few times, Aaron didn't think it was a prank, because Abe's requirements for sleep time and quality were higher than his.
The fact that it could be so serious showed that the voice really existed.
Sitting up with all his strength, Aaron glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside and sighed helplessly.
It was almost six o'clock, and there was no need to sleep at this time.
"Are you satisfied? I slept almost two hours less than usual."
Abe rubbed Aaron's palm embarrassedly and apologized simply, "I just want to remind the master to be careful, I have no other thoughts."
Aaron didn't doubt this, "You said you heard a terrible sound, I believe it, but can you tell what the sound is?
We are in a magic school, ghosts, elves, and even some wizards' pranks are possible.
By the way, Slytherin's common room is under the lake, and there are giant squids and Grindylow monsters in the water."
Abe lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head, "None of them, I'm sure it's not these."
Aaron frowned. This was all the normal situations he could think of, and the rest were abnormal situations.
However, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal, and nothing is strange in the magic world.
Aaron's index finger tapped the bed, and various possible guesses emerged in his mind, but he finally decided to pretend that he knew nothing.
First, he was not sure whether the owner of the sound would harm him, but it was not wise to meddle in other people's business.
Second, he had no evidence to prove that there was such a sound in the castle. After all, he didn't hear anything last night.
Perhaps only animals, or magical animals like Abe, could hear it.
"Listen to me, pretend you didn't hear anything first.
You will do the same as usual, can you do it in the future?"
"I can do it." Abe nodded, but still a little puzzled, "But why? This sound is very dangerous, it is hunting."
Aaron took a deep breath, patted his pet's head, and explained seriously: "The early bird catches the worm.
There is a saying in your master's family motto that when you know very little, the best thing to do is to pretend you know nothing.
This is a wise saying of a certain ancestor. Only by pretending to be confused can you live long."
Abe seemed to understand, but he didn't understand the deep meaning of doing so, but he just listened to his master.
"But pretending to know nothing does not mean doing nothing. The next time you hear this kind of sound, tell me so that I can be mentally prepared."
He felt that he would not be so unlucky to be the first target of the owner of this sound.
But it is undeniable that there is such a time bomb in the castle. If he does not find out, he may not be able to sleep well.
But fortunately, in the next month or so, this sound did not appear again.
The comfortable learning and living environment made him and Abe subconsciously ignore its existence.
......
Halloween Eve.
This is a memorable day. At this time last year, Quirrell released the troll, which forced the banquet to be interrupted.
But I believe that this year's banquet will be held smoothly...I think so!
The auditorium today seemed particularly crowded. Students filled the long tables, and there were all kinds of exquisite delicacies on the golden plates.
The ceiling was full of large and small pumpkin lanterns, and the bright candlelight shone, rendering a lively atmosphere.
Dumbledore also invited a skeleton band to perform dance in front of the auditorium, which was rare.
Aaron put two fish fillets on Abe's plate, then looked at Draco and asked, "How's the training going recently?"
"Very good, Marcus and the others all agree with your plan and are very cooperative." Draco said excitedly, "I thought they would resist at first, but I didn't expect them to be so excited."
"In the past, Quidditch was decided by the seeker, but my plan is to let them shine.
With the help of Nimbus 2001, Slytherin will crush Gryffindor in points and win with an absolute advantage." Aaron smiled, "But you can't be careless."
"Don't worry, I know the limits.
If this can make Harry Potter turn the tables, I will avoid him in the future." Draco patted his chest and promised, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the Gryffindor table.
"What's going on?"
"What do you mean?"
"Harry Potter and his friends are missing again, and this time Hermione Granger is missing too." Draco pointed at the long table behind Aaron, "Look for yourself if you don't believe me."
Aaron turned around in a daze, and indeed, there were three people missing from the Gryffindor table.
"Haha!" Draco seemed to have thought of something funny, and couldn't stop smiling. "The last time they disappeared, they drove to school.
Professor McGonagall was generous and only put Harry and Ron in detention.
I heard that one of them was sent to the trophy display room to clean the silverware, and the other was sent to help Lockhart and reply to his admirers.
But this time, they may not be so lucky."
"Don't talk nonsense, students are not required to attend the Halloween party. Maybe they were delayed by something this time!" Aaron said with a strange look, but he also felt that what Draco said made sense.
It's not without precedent that the three of them disappeared together. The last time they went to the trap door to deal with Professor Quirrell, and the time before that they joined forces to steal his pet.
"I always feel that they won't do anything good." Draco said, "This is not prejudice, it's purely a hunch."
"Uh... On this point, I have the same opinion as you." Aaron nodded in agreement. Sometimes metaphysics is still worth believing.
At this time, Abe's ears suddenly moved, and he stopped eating. His clear eyes kept looking around.
"What's wrong?" Aaron asked in some confusion.
Abe bared his teeth, "Master, I heard that voice again."
Aaron shuddered suddenly, but when he saw Dumbledore in the teacher's seat, his heart instantly returned to his stomach.
With the most powerful white magician of this century here, there is nothing to be afraid of a mere hiding one's head and showing one's tail.
Even if even Dumbledore can't stop the danger hidden in the dark, then they are even more impossible. Now eating a little more may still make them full.
"Can you hear where the sound is?" Aaron hummed in his mouth and asked cautiously in Dragon Language.
The voice was very light, and was perfectly covered by the noisy laughter in the auditorium. Even Draco sitting in front of him didn't notice it.
This is not because Aaron is careful, but just to reduce unnecessary trouble. After all, there are not many people in the magic world who can communicate with dragons.
Abe thought for a while and pointed outside the door with a claw.
"It stayed in a corridor outside for a while, but it is not there now."
"Gone?
Then I am not afraid."
Aaron was relieved and a faint smile appeared on his face.
But thinking of this unknown creature still wandering in the castle, his mood became heavy again.
Still can't ignore it! It would be bad if something happened and affected Hogwarts.
He signed in at Hogwarts for ten magic points a day. Compared with one or two magic points in other places, this harvesting speed is like riding a rocket.
If you want to develop quickly, well and steadily, ensuring the safety of this magic school is the top priority.
Huh!
Aaron took a deep breath and looked down at Abe, "Are you sure that the unknown creature is gone?"
Abe nodded hurriedly, "Very sure, and it's running very far now, I can't sense its location."
"What's the specific situation?"
Abe was stunned for a moment, looking at Aaron speechlessly, "Master, I'm not omnipotent."
"Sorry, I think too much." Aaron smiled embarrassedly, then picked up Abe, "Then go and have a look!"
"Where are you going?" Draco asked.
"People have three urgent needs, I plan to go to the bathroom.
The dinner is almost over, I will go back to the dormitory after going to the toilet, you don't have to wait for me."
After that, Aaron walked out of the auditorium.
Abe led the way in front of him, smelling the smell, and took Aaron to the corridor on the third floor.
The corridor was empty and there was nothing, but there were a lot of water stains on the ground.
"It's just in front." Abe pointed to the corner in front and said.
Aaron slowed down his pace, lowered his voice and carefully avoided the puddles on the ground, fearing that he would make any noise.
At the same time, he was ready to take action, and his wand could be pulled out at any time.
If there was really danger, Voldemort would scream in pain after a few spells, and he would have a chance to run away.
But when he got closer, he opened his mouth in astonishment, and his first reaction was that the disappearance of these three people must be poisonous.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were standing in front of a wall, and there seemed to be bright red blood words on the wall.
