HP Approaches the Magic World

Chapter 73 On the Serenade

The conception of the rebellion plan ended at ten o'clock in the evening.

Jon had just returned from the common room, and told Cedric, who had just returned from get out of class, about the conversation he had with Professor Sprout in the evening, and conveyed the professor's opinions.

As an important member of the society's management, the relationship between Cedric and Jon has improved rapidly after Bella no longer harassed him, and Jon would not deliberately avoid him.

However, as soon as he returned to the dormitory to rest, the bracelet on his wrist vibrated.

So early?

He bought this bracelet from Knockturn Alley. There are two bracelets in total. When one is activated by magic, the other will start to vibrate until Jon sends a response.

It's like an electronic bracelet with vibration turned on.

Eddie uses this to notify him that Bane has started to take action.

But, why is it so early?

Jon looked at his watch. It was just after ten o'clock in the evening, which was when Filch made his first inspection.

But he has to get out.

After casting a disguise spell on himself, taking off his outermost robe, taking off his college badge, Jon turned around and left the dormitory.

The Marauder's Map showed that Filch and his cat were patrolling the fourth floor at this time. Eddie and Bain had just descended from the Ravenclaw Tower and were near the stairs on the first floor preparing to go to the secret passage corridor on the fifth floor.

"The pebbles are flying."

He waved his wand and summoned several stones to fly to the corridor on the first floor and make a sound. Looking at Filch and Mrs. Norris on the map going down the stairs on the other side, Jon turned around and ran towards the stairs.

[Listen to wind whispers], turn on.

Listening to the feedback from the wind around him, Jon ignored the two discordant voices and hurried to Eddie's location.

I don't know if those two unlucky guys were out for a night out at this time. If Filch caught them, it would have nothing to do with him.

After quickly climbing the stairs for a long time, when they reached the fifth floor, the panting Jon came to Eddie's side after having just released the phantom spell. He happened to see Bain press the button to open the secret passage.

"Why are you out of breath?"

Eddie turned sideways and looked at the panting Jon in the dim light, and asked softly.

"It's okay, I just met Filch."

After telling a harmless lie, Jon took a deep breath and calmed his restless heartbeat.

"Shall we follow now?"

"Hold on."

Jon had already made a decision in his heart, and among the sounds fed back to him by the wind, Bain's voice gradually disappeared.

"Walk."

Two people stooped out of the darkness and sneaked out into the corridor.

Jon stretched out his wand and lightly tapped the button of the mechanism, and the button automatically retracted. The wall in front of the two people separated, revealing a secret passage that was taller than the two of them.

Naturally, this mechanism can be pressed by hand, but this method is written on the map. Jon is more accustomed to doing things according to the instructions on the map.

"follow me."

He glanced at Eddie behind him: "Follow closely, let's go find Bain."

Eddie nodded and followed Jon into the darkness of the secret passage.

Behind them, the entrance to the secret passage closed silently.

Darkness surrounded them like an endless tide, with only the ray of light blooming on the tip of Jon's wand vaguely reflecting their faces.

"Don't be afraid, it's just dark."

Jon listened to the suddenly louder heartbeat behind him and said without looking back: "The secret passages in Hogwarts are all very clean. There is nothing to be afraid of here."

"..."

Eddie's mouth twitched. He didn't know what to say, so he could only speed up his pace and follow dear Jon closely.

Although there was silence in the darkness, he always felt that something was following him step by step. The unknown sound coming from his ears became clearer the further he walked, like someone crying in a low voice, but listen carefully.

If so, I can't tell the difference at all.

He had grown up listening to legends, but now he felt as cold as if he was surrounded by dementors. As long as he relaxed a little, those things would pounce on him and suck away his soul.

After walking in fear for a long time, a little light finally lit up at the end of the long passage - although the moonlight outside was not very bright, it was much better than the darkness inside the secret passage.

In that cold darkness, he felt that his heart was about to stop beating.

"Here we are."

Jon's low voice echoed in Eddie's ears like the chirping of a mosquito. After experiencing the long darkness in the secret passage, even this voice made Eddie feel good.

Jon knew they were about to arrive a moment ago, because [Monitoring Wind Whispers] no longer fed back to him the sound of music, but the sound of people talking.

American accent.

Jon himself grew up in the UK and traveled to various places. At Hogwarts, he also came into contact with classmates from all over the British Isles. In his previous life, he also learned some vocabulary while memorizing words and watching dramas.

Distinguishing accents between different countries.

The dark wizard outside did not make any cover-up. For Jon, who had grown up listening to English accents, this accent simply told him where he came from.

Beyond the end of the secret passage is a forest.

The moonlight became more scattered after the decomposition of the leaves. Jon and Eddie came closer and hid behind a big tree.

Not far away, Bain bowed his head and stopped in front of a wizard shrouded in black robes, listening to the latter's orders.

Jon signaled Eddie to wait here and proceed as planned, and quietly walked out from behind the big tree.

At the same time, he added a phantom spell to himself.

This night was not very pleasant for Edmund.

After spending some effort, he finally deceived the witch Kelly who was guarding him, and ran out of the basement with the piano case.

The escape techniques of dark wizards are often much better than those of other wizards, especially members like Edmund, who are highly valued in the Dark Wizards Association, and have even more profound practice in escape magic.

It was a pity that a precious magic item was wasted. Edmund felt very sad thinking about the "replacement" of the antique-level magic item that he had used.

Such precious magic items are now priceless in the entire Western magic world. They were obtained only after he controlled a declining nobleman. Even the teacher did not know the existence of this item.

Thinking of this, he looked at the face of the little boy in front of him, and his heart gradually became angry.

He held the strings, thinking that this time was also the last time, so he might as well plant a more powerful spell to let him leave this world when he finished this plan.

But just as he held the bow, he heard the sound of someone trampling on the branches.

"who?"
