This is what Ravenclaw looks like..

Chapter 35 A peaceful day

"Peeves really knows how to seize time..."

Andrew sighed in his heart, but he had no intention of going to the castle gate - he was just a freshman, was he going to get killed?

That’s an elf who dares to say no to all the previous principals!

He had dominated the castle before Dumbledore came, and now he was happily playing pranks.

"Wait, the war will subside..."

Andrew leaned back in his chair and began to quietly ponder the shoelace spell on his shoelaces. Driven by such a light spell, the two shoelaces slowly moved as if they were recovering. Several of his roommates also moved their chairs out of curiosity and began to try this rather boring spell.

When Andrew was able to control his shoelaces and tie them by himself, Peeves's mischief was finally curbed. After the seniors who returned in groups hit Peeves several times with the bread thrown by Peeves, the elf finally felt bored and left the passage cursing.

'Okay, Peeves' defense rule number one - let it shoot itself in the foot...'

Andrew silently noted this in his mind, and at the same time expressed his gratitude to Ham, the senior student and club leader who bought him a bunch of snacks.

“Study hard and go to the library is a good habit - knowledge is the greenhouse where wisdom is born.”

He smiled and patted Andrew's shoulder, as if he was a leader inspecting him, then turned and left.

"It is indeed the most strict club in the academy..."

Hal looked envious after Ham left - it was obvious that he had been cheated by KFC.

"I'm just pretending, but I can't tell you..."

Andrew held his mouth tightly with some complaints in his heart. The opinions held in the club meeting were the opinions held in the club meeting and would not be disseminated to the outside world. He did not want to be targeted by a bunch of senior students because of his mouth.

If there was anything cruel or overly bullying, he would definitely deal with it, but it was just a problem of his attitude that he didn't show it - if he opposed it because of this, even someone with no nose would say he was too extreme.

Of course, this name is very abrupt, but firstly, I heard that the real name was cursed and no one dared to call it, and secondly, he mainly learned about it from the commentary...

As far as he knew, Mr. Nose's subordinates were all people with ulterior motives, but that person was punished because he did not do his job well. He couldn't be more outrageous than Mr. Nose.

They returned to the lounge and divided the snacks - Andrew's portion was undoubtedly the largest, but there was no need to divide it up. They simply piled their food together on the card table in the middle, and whoever wanted could take it.

"Go to sleep. There might be another owl coming tomorrow. We must not let this happen again!"

However, when Andrew got up the next day, it was just dawn and the owl showed no intention of disturbing him.

After thinking for a minute or two, Andrew remembered what he said to his roommate before going to bed yesterday, and decided to leave secretly. He had studied too hard and was very tired in those few days, so he slept relatively long. Maybe he went to bed too early yesterday, so he rested for a while and was full of energy. If he woke people up at this time, he was afraid that he would end up in the school hospital...

"Let's go for a run... I've finished my thesis and my homework... I've been so busy with magic these days that I've neglected such an important skill as running..."

Quietly getting up and getting dressed, Andrew began to walk down while admiring the morning lounge.

It was still a little dark in Hogwarts at five o'clock, and most of the paintings on the walls were resting. When Andrew passed by, occasionally one or two paintings would yawn and look at him, and then go back to rest.

“It seems that there are indeed no early risers…”

He decided to do a run around Black Lake - the course was nice, but it was definitely occupied.

+ + +
"Huh..." After walking half a circle, Andrew stopped beside a willow tree, took a breath, and started walking forward at a slightly faster pace - after just over a week, he was a little tired.

The scenery of Black Lake was just right at the moment, and what was particularly wonderful was that no couples came here - although there were couples who did morning exercises together, but considering that yesterday was Saturday, such low-probability events were ruled out.

But the small probability event that frightened Andrew still happened - a Hufflepuff was wandering on the shore in front, walking back and forth, as if he was about to rush into the lake.

"Excuse me, classmate over there, have you seen my toad?"

Andrew only hesitated for a moment before finding the excuse.

"toad?"

The other party was stunned for a moment, turned around and said, "I didn't see it here."

"what?"

He showed a disappointed expression, "It's not big, it just felt very constipated recently. I originally wanted to let it swim in the Black Lake when there were fewer people around, but it ran away..."

"How about I help you find it?"

The other party just asked tentatively, and Andrew immediately followed up, "Is this okay? That's great, thank you..."

"First, keep him busy so that he has no time to think about anything else. Then, ask him indirectly about his recent situation, and then try to enlighten him."

With this thought in mind, Andrew started to talk nonsense. "My roommate said it prefers freedom. I don't know. Maybe we are not suitable for each other..."

"It's possible. Think about it, the Black Lake is a huge body of water. It would definitely be better to live here than in the dormitory. It is said that there is Slytherin's treasure here. Maybe it went there to study."

After a slight hesitation, the Hufflepuff, whom Andrew did not know, lowered his voice and said, "I have seen many conjectures saying this, so I have been researching related content. As you know, there is another strong proof recently."

???

Something seems wrong.

"Actually, it's okay to tell you. Several of our classmates have started to prepare to go to the Black Lake. We are usually preparing... If we see your toad at the bottom of the lake, we will bring your thoughts over and bring back its blessings..."

You are lying to children!
Wait a minute—Andrew complained in his heart and realized that he was overthinking.

The other party was not depressed, but was eager to go to the Black Lake - especially that story served as evidence.

"Fourth grader, Jack."

The other party extended his hand, and Andrew, feeling a little embarrassed, finally chose to give his real name - one lie could be covered up, but any more would be hard to explain.

"First grader, Andrew."

"Okay, I'll remember that. I'll help you look for it. If I have any news, I'll ask the school owl to let you know. I'll go over there and take a look, and help you find it. Of course, I still doubt that it can live freely. That's it. Goodbye."

"Goodbye, I'll go look for him over there, maybe he's just being naughty..."

Andrew pretended to be anxious and tried to find the non-existent toad - he would just sneak back to eat some snacks and go to the library... He wouldn't even go to the cafeteria! This was too embarrassing!
