Harry Potter: I Am a Legend

"William is missing?"

Hoffa repeated what Antonio had said.

"Yes. We...we go together..."

Antonio hesitated and made two gestures with his hands.

"Where to go?"

Hoffa's face looked cold in the dark.

"we....."

Antonio lowered his head. He had always been timid, and seeing Hoffa's face pulled down, he dared not say anything further.

But Taylor on the other side stood up, coughing lightly, and said solemnly:

"We went to the prefect bathroom for an expedition together, but after going in, William never came out. He is missing."

The prefect washes the bathroom, expedition?

Hoffa's eyes widened, this group of **** actually went!

Sherlock Bohan, the prefect of Ravenclaw, is a girl! This group of guys sneaked away from the female prefect's bathroom, and even lost one!

Seeing these two people look uneasy, Hoffa is both bored and a headache. What kind of boring group of guys are these?

"Not out? Maybe it fell into the pool."

"No..." Antonio waved his hand again and again. "We searched the bathroom, but we didn't see him come out."

"Maybe invisible to play with you."

Hoffa said lightly.

Antonio was taken aback.

"William will not be invisible."

"We want you to help find it." Tyler whispered, "You are so good, there must be a way."

Hoffa felt even more annoyed. He said, "This kind of thing should be in the charge of the prefect and the dean. You can go to Dumbledore. Now there is a curfew outside."

"Don't." Antonio waved his hand again and again.

"We'll be dead if Dumbledore knows about it. Maybe we will be fired... Come and look for it with us. If you find it, forget it."

Antonio added a pleading tone: "I beg you."

Watching Antonio's nose burst into fine beads of sweat, Hoffa's fingers tightened on the sheets. This roommate is almost the same as Neville Longbottom, except that his memory is better, his personality is almost the same. .

Tyler wanted to say something else, and Antonio quickly grabbed him.

"Hoffa, just get William back, I swear, we will never do this kind of thing again."

Taylor immediately agreed: "Really, just this time, please help, Hoffa."

Hoffa murmured softly: "What does what you do has to do with me?"

After all, he stood up, expressionless:

"Lead the way."

Antonio and Taylor looked happy, and quickly pulled out an old lantern from the bedside table, lit it and took Hoffa to leave the dormitory.

There were not many people in the school at night, and Antonio and Taylor walked in front of them with an old lantern.

On the way to the prefect’s bathroom, Hoffa got a rough idea of ​​what happened.

William and a Gryffindor student bet who could find the most precious treasure in the prefect's bathroom. After the Gryffindor students entered, they took out a silver candlestick. But after William entered, no one came out.

A group of people went in for a long time and didn't find it.

The Gryffindor students were frightened, thinking that stealing the candlestick caused the unknown curse, so they went away. The bathroom was dark behind nobody, Antonio and Taylor didn't dare to explore too much, so they had to come to Hoffa for help.

The prefect’s bathroom was in front of the statue of Boris on the sixth floor. Antonio lay next to him and whispered, "Sweet and spiritual melon."

The door creaked open, revealing the dark corridor behind, and there was no light in the bathroom.

"Shall we... go in and look for it together?"

Antonio stood at the dark entrance, thought of William's disappearance, and swallowed.

Tyler hit Antonio, and Antonio immediately stopped talking.

This little action didn't escape Hoffa's eyes. He looked at the entrance of the black hole and took the lantern from Antonio's hand.

"Don't you go in, let me go outside, if someone comes, remember to go in and let me know."

Antonio was relieved, "Good, good."

Tyler wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and quickly retreated to the statue, looking around with a serious look.

Hoffa didn't care about his pretentious gestures, and got into the bathroom with his lantern.

This is actually the same as when the future Harry Triwizard Tournament is about to come, luxurious chandelier, snow-white marble floor,

It's just that the whole atmosphere is completely reversed. There is absolutely no warmth here when Harry comes to take a bath. The whole space is dark and without any lighting. The outlines of those furnishings under the flicker of the lanterns are like poor and lost souls.

Here, Hoffa felt that he was the only surviving creature in this world.

The lantern illuminates the wall.

After seeing Hoffa's figure, the mermaid in the gilded frame hid quietly in the water.

Hoffa walked over to the oil painting, looked at the mermaid with only half of his head exposed, and asked in a low voice:

"Has anyone been here before?"

The mermaid nodded in the painting.

"Where did he go?"

The mermaid glanced at Hoffa, did not speak, and disappeared into the frame with a plop. The weird look made Hoffa feel a little hairy.

He stroked the bottom of the marble bath, which had been used for a long time, and there were only dry water stains on the bottom. There are also some golden hairs sticking to the bottom of the bath.

This is quite normal. This bath once belonged to Sherlock Pohan, and she herself had long blond hair.

However, in addition to the long hair, Hoffa saw a few colorful feathers.

This feather is not stuck to the bottom, it floats on the surface, it is dry and new. Feathers...is there any birds here?

He picked up the feathers, and it felt like the tail feathers of a parrot.

parrot?

He carried the lantern and shone it around, but there was nothing. There were no signs of fighting or tearing at the scene. He touched the faucet and pulled it twice, but he could only make a creaking sound, and no water came out. The house elves in the school may have stopped the hot water supply in the prefect’s bathroom after the prefect left.

strange. Hoffa straightened up.

Although the entire bath is well decorated, it is not the kind of sentimental bath of the late Roman period, and the area is limited. There is no room for Tibetans inside.

Unless Antonio lied to himself boringly, how could William disappear out of thin air.

He closed his eyes, opened the mental field, and felt for a moment. There is no residual magic wave.

It is neither a prank nor hide-and-seek.

Where did that go?

Rubbing the strange tail feather on his hand, he walked out of the bathroom and returned to the corridor outside the prefect's bathroom.

He was going to ask Antonio and Taylor to see if he had missed any information.

But when Hoffa walked out of the bathroom, the roommate who was supposed to wait outside to give him the wind disappeared.

Only the statue of Boris, the foolish egg, was left wearing gloves, with a dazed expression, as if silently mocking itself.

"Antonio? Tyler?"

He yelled twice in the dark corridor, but he could only hear his own echo, and no one answered.

He checked his watch, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

"Damn, bastard..."

Hoffa cursed secretly and left himself and ran away.

Is it possible to go back to sleep? There must be a limit to shamelessness.

He strode to Ravenclaw's common room, but waited for him to return to the common room. There were no Antonio and Taylor in the common room. When I entered the dormitory, there were none.

......

......

Standing at the door of the dormitory, the cold winter wind passed through the curtains and covered Hoffa's body. His heart seemed to fall into the deep sea, sinking straight down.

If it wasn't a prank, something must have happened.

He walked to the edge of the bed and sat for a while, two voices appeared in his mind.

A voice made him look for it quickly.

But another voice was saying, what does this have to do with him, these annoying guys leave, isn't it exactly what he wants to see.

After sitting by the bed for two minutes, the sound of looking for it prevailed.

He really didn't want to care, but he felt that he would be conscientious, if something happened to the two of them, what should he do.

Although his relationship with his roommates is not very good, they are roommates after all.

He stood up again and ran out of the lounge. I found it everywhere in the castle.

Because of the darkness, he didn't dare to shout too loudly. He could only turn over one corner, one classroom, one classroom.

Holding the lantern, he walked through the mistletoe intertwined corridor in the dark, ran through the classroom lined with armor, and crawled through the dense road covered with cobwebs.

I found the hall from the twelfth floor all the way, and my three silly roommates disappeared as if they had gone to another dimension.

When he walked near the hall, he bent down panting and leaned against the wall a little tired.

The snowflakes outside the castle drifted in from the high window and fell on his shoulders, and he spit out a mouthful of white mist. Under the light of the dilapidated lantern, his shadow was winding on the wall, growing and big.

There was a slight running noise in the corridor that had been silent, and he felt excited and turned his head to look.

In the faint light, two mice quickly ran past the shadows cast by him. Hoffa sighed, thinking too much, just two mice.

At this time, he felt that something was looking at him again and raised his head. The black-and-white cat that I saw in the bathroom squatted on a beast-head bag high above, staring at him without blinking.

what's the situation.

How is it so coincidental,

Did you bother it to catch the mouse?

Hoffa felt something was wrong.

He rubbed his eyes.

The black and white cat disappeared.

Just as he was curious, there was a rumbling voice from outside the hall, someone!

He thought it was his roommate who appeared, so he hurried over with a meteor.

But when I came closer, it was not a few roommates, but a few deans and professors of the school, and they walked to the door of the school in whispers. There, a night horse carriage stopped in the dark. There are twelve of them, standing silently in the snow. On the shiny black body, a piece of snowflakes couldn't be kept.

Seeing the professor, Hoffa was startled and immediately wanted to go back. It's curfew time, and people who are found wandering outside will be punished.

But then, the gate of the night horse carriage at the school gate opened, and the people who got on and off the carriage made Hoffa's eyes shine brightly.

It turned out to be Dumbledore who hadn't seen him for a long time. He had auburn beard and hair, wearing a gray robe, and his look languid, he looked like he had returned after a long journey.

Seeing him, Hoffa saw it as if he had found the backbone. The nightmare of a whole month made him very eager to see the man in front of him, and he abruptly stopped the pace he wanted to leave.

The Dean of the Fourth Academy and several other professors stopped at the door and talked with Dumbledore by the side of the night horse carriage. They were probably exchanging some urgent tasks.

After the exchange, the Dean of the Fourth Academy boarded the Yeqi carriage. Afterwards, the twelve night qis flashed their wings, took their carriages up from the ground, and disappeared into the wind and snow in the night sky.

Only two people remained in the snow, one was Dumbledore, and the other was the current professor of transformation, Jacob Pohan. As they walked and chatted, their voices came into Hoffa's ears.

Jacob Pohan: "The Ministry of Magic is so short...?"

Dumbledore: "No, is it okay over the hospital..."

Bohan: "Very good.... Although the medicine still doesn't..."

Dumbledore: "Anything... Can De La Cess cultivate more for us... I heard that the number of fire dragons is not enough... The students are very... .."

Bohan: "The fire dragon is not the owl sold in Diagon Alley."

The two got closer, and their voices gradually became clearer.

Dumbledore: "I'm already thinking of a way, give me some more time."

Bohan said softly: "I am worried that even if there are enough fire dragons, De La Cess will not give more people the opportunity to control the fire dragon. He is an old nobleman. For him, the top of the pyramid does not need so many people."

"how about you?"

"I support you, Albus, fully support you..."

The man said softly.

Dumbledore and Bohan stood under the school’s animal head statue and chatted for a long time before Bohan bypassed him from the other side and returned to his office.

After he left, Dumbledore raised his head and let out a white mist, and walked up the stairs from the hall.

Hoffa immediately stood out from the darkness and stopped in front of Dumbledore.

"professor."
