Learn magic from Hogwarts

In fact, it is not only the raw food that is lost, but also some cooked food.

If the house elves hadn't been meticulous enough, and the lost food happened to contain the raw meat that Lacey had specially left, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been discovered so easily.

The thief was very cautious. He stole several kinds of food, a little of each kind, and the time was random, which made it difficult for the house elves to confirm when it was stolen.

This left the house elves at a loss.

Noah nodded thoughtfully: "Have you told the professor?"

Lacey got him some raw food, then wiped his tears with a dirty cloth: "Not yet."

The house elves initially guessed that some little wizards had secretly taken the food while they were away, but raw meat was obviously not the case.

At this point, the house elves have already planned to inform the professor about this.

"Maybe someone's pet did it." Noah subconsciously touched Keya's scales.

Lacey was stunned for a moment before he realized: "The little wizard is right!"

Because what was thrown away was cooked food at first, they didn’t think much about it. Now that they saw it, it might be someone’s pet that came to the kitchen to steal some food!

"Damn thief!" Lacey clenched his fist angrily, saying that he would definitely catch this abominable guy.

Noah returned to the auditorium after feeding Keya.

I don't know why, but when he just talked about food thieves, he always thought of the mouse from last night.

It's like a subconscious intuition.

Noah frowned, feeling a little confused about his unfounded intuition.

Forget it, this kind of thing has nothing to do with him anyway.

But Keya didn't think so. After realizing that he lost a chicken because of the thief, Keya became restless.

That's a chicken!!!

Although it prefers to eat pigeons than chicken, that’s not okay! That’s its meal!!!

Keya almost eagerly urged Noah to investigate the matter, find the nasty thief, and avenge his chicken.

Noah: "..."

Of course Noah ruthlessly ignored its cries, and he didn’t know how this guy could confidently say such things as avenging the chicken.

…

After dinner, Noah decided to sit by the fireplace in the common room and read a book.

Although the lights are a little dim, it's warm here.

Even Keya had forgotten his heroic words about avenging the chicken and lay comfortably under his clothes, feeling the warmth of the fire.

The temperature has probably dropped a bit in the past two days, and the dungeon has been extremely damp and cold. Although some anti-humidity spells seem to have been cast on the dormitory, it does not hinder the fact that it is already a bit chilly.

Recently, the limelight about Noah has been occupied by the Quidditch selection. Everyone is talking about related matters, and no one pays attention to how Noah is doing. There are also many fewer people in the lounge.

Just like right now.

After Noah made it clear that he needed to read the book, Eve could only take the other Slytherins to watch Quidditch.

Although I am not very willing to do so.

Noah was able to read most of this book in a whole morning.

Near noon, a Slytherin stormed into the common room angrily.

"Damn rat, don't let me catch it!"

Noah, who was interrupted from his silence, raised his head and glanced at him. It was a brown-haired guy. Noah had seen him before in the club activities of the Glory Club. If I remember correctly, his name should be Hunter Colby.

At that time, this Slytherin had an aristocratic smirk, his hair was thin, and he was meticulous. Even his robes were neatly dressed.

But at this moment, this guy looked a little embarrassed, his hair was a little messy, there were wrinkles on the corners of his robe, and there were even a lot of tears.

It seemed like he was in such a mess because he had a dispute with someone.

Oh, I had an argument with a mouse.

Colby roared a few times impolitely, and after realizing that this was the common room, he quickly walked through the lounge and headed to the dormitory.

The two Slytherins who came in behind him shrugged and did not follow.

They sat down on the couch opposite Noah, nodded to Noah, and discussed in a low voice: "Colby looks very angry."

"After all, he was tricked by a mouse or something." A Slytherin smiled meaningfully.

"I don't know which college the rat is a pet from."

Very few people in Slytherin keep a mouse; proud Slytherins prefer a cat or an owl.

"Gryffindor, I guess."

"Yes, only those guys would raise such annoying pets."

They skillfully passed the blame to Gryffindor in just a few words.

Noah became interested: "Excuse me, can you tell me what happened?"

The two Slytherins turned to look at him. They looked at each other and recognized Noah.

After taking a look at the door leading to the dormitory behind them and confirming that the person involved would not come out immediately, the two Slytherins hesitated for a moment and chose to tell Noah about the matter.

But they left some things vague, such as the process of Colby being played by the rat.

…

The three of them met the mouse on the steps coming down from the first floor.

It was a black guy, rather large, with a long tail trailing behind him, which happened to be blocking their way.

Originally, the mouse did not run away immediately when it saw them. Instead, it stared at the three of them carefully before slowly preparing to go down the stairs.

That kind of sight made the three of them feel very unhappy, and the grumpy Colby immediately showed an expression of disgust.

Although he didn't think a mouse could understand his words, Colby swore at the mouse at that time, cursing the dirty guy, and at the same time cursing the house elf for not being able to even clean up.

, let a mouse crawl into the dungeon.

But unexpectedly, after he cursed a few times, the mouse turned and pounced on him.

Noah guessed that the guy was so panicked that he even forgot to pull out his wand and only had time to wave, otherwise he wouldn't have left so many marks of tears on his sleeves.

In the end, the mouse fled the scene under the attack of the three people, and soon disappeared into the shadows.

Noah listened to the descriptions of the two people and roughly guessed the process.

Rats... Generally rats will not attack people, even the pets of little wizards will not boldly attack little wizards.

Noah briefly wanted to ask if what they were seeing was really a rat and not a Motla.

Motla is a magical rat animal that looks similar to a rat, but has an anemone-like tumor on its back. If it is offended, this creature will bite the offender's feet hard.

But when it jumps and flutters in the face, it sounds more like a cat...

Noah thought about the mouse last night again.

Very good, he now feels that things are a bit uneasy.
