A magical journey that begins at Hogwarts

Chapter 153 It's abnormal every time they disappear as a group.

Aaron barely slept all night because Abe would wake him up every now and then.

Each time, he told him that he heard a terrifying, murderous voice that wandered throughout the castle, as if searching for a prey.

After a few times, Aaron stopped thinking it was a prank, because Abe's requirements for sleep time and quality were no less than his.

The fact that it can make someone so serious means that this voice really exists.

Forcing himself to sit up, Aaron glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table and sighed helplessly.

It's almost six o'clock, there's no need to sleep at this point.

"Are you satisfied now? I've been sleeping almost two hours less than usual."

Abe rubbed Aaron's hand apologetically, offering a simple expression of apology, "I just wanted to remind Master to be careful, I had no other intentions."

Aaron didn't doubt this at all. "You said you heard a terrible sound, and I believe you, but can you tell what that sound is?"

We're in a magic school, where ghosts, elves, and even some wizards' pranks are all possible.

By the way, Slytherin's common room is underwater, and there are giant squid and the Grindylow monster in the water.

Abe lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head. "None of them. I'm pretty sure it's not any of them."

Aaron frowned. These were all the normal scenarios he could think of; the rest were the abnormal ones.

However, something unusual must be going on, and nothing is surprising in the magical world.

Aaron tapped his index finger on the bed, various possible guesses flashing through his mind, but he ultimately decided to pretend he knew nothing.

Firstly, he wasn't sure if the owner of the voice would be hostile to him, but meddling in other people's business was not a wise move.

Secondly, he had no evidence to prove that there were such sounds inside the castle, since he hadn't heard anything last night.

Perhaps only animals, or magical creatures like Abbe, can hear it.

"Listen to me, pretend you didn't hear anything for now."

Can you maintain the same attitude as usual and continue to do so?

“It can be done.” Abe nodded, but was still puzzled. “But why? This sound is dangerous; it’s hunting.”

Aaron took a deep breath, patted his pet's head, and explained in a serious tone, "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down, and the early bird gets eaten."

One of your master's family precepts is that when you know very little, the best thing to do is to pretend you know nothing.

This is a wise saying from an ancestor: "Playing dumb is the key to longevity."

Abe seemed to understand, but not quite. It didn't grasp the deeper meaning behind the action; it just knew that listening to its master was the right thing to do.

"But pretending not to know doesn't mean doing nothing. Let me know next time you hear that kind of sound so I can be mentally prepared."

He didn't think he would be so unlucky as to be the first target of the owner of that voice.

But undeniably, there's a ticking time bomb in the castle, and he probably won't be able to sleep soundly until he figures it out.

Fortunately, the sound did not reappear for more than a month afterward.

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 a giant monster, disrupting the banquet and forcing it to be interrupted.

However, I believe this year's banquet will proceed smoothly... I think!

The auditorium was particularly crowded today, with students filling long tables and golden plates laden with various exquisite delicacies.

The ceiling was covered with pumpkin lanterns of all sizes, and the bright candlelight created a lively atmosphere.

Dumbledore even hired a Skull Band to perform and dance in front of the Great Hall, a rare sight indeed.

Aaron placed the two portions of fish onto Abe's plate, then looked at Draco and asked, "How's training going lately?"

“Excellent! Marcus and the others really agree with your plan and are very cooperative,” Draco said excitedly. “I initially thought they would resist, 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 have a big show."

"With Nimbus 2001, Slytherin will crush Gryffindor in points and win by a landslide," Aaron laughed. "But you can't be careless."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"If this can turn the tide for Harry Potter, I'll avoid him like the plague from now on." Draco patted his chest and assured him, his eyes involuntarily glancing towards the Gryffindor table.

"what happened?"

"What's going on?"

“Harry Potter and the others have disappeared again, and this time Hermione Granger is missing too.” Draco pointed to the long table behind Aaron. “See for yourself.”

Aaron turned around in a daze, and sure enough, three people were missing from the Gryffindor table.

"Hehe!" Draco seemed to have thought of something funny, and he couldn't stop smiling. "Last time they went missing, they drove to the school."

Professor McGonagall was quite magnanimous; she only put Harry and Ron in solitary confinement.

I heard that one of them was sent to the prize room to polish the silverware, and the other was sent to help Lockhart by replying to his admirers.

But this time, they might not be so lucky.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Students aren’t required to attend the Halloween party. Maybe something came up that made them late!” Aaron said with a strange expression, but he also felt that Draco’s words made sense.

It wasn't unprecedented for the three of them to disappear together. The last time was when they went to the trapdoor to confront Professor Quirrell, and the time before that, they teamed up to steal his pet.

“I always had a feeling they wouldn’t do anything good,” Draco said. “It wasn’t prejudice, it was just a gut feeling.”

“Um… on this point, I do share your view.” Aaron nodded in agreement; sometimes, metaphysics is worth believing in.

At this moment, Abe's ears suddenly twitched, and he stopped eating, his clear eyes constantly scanning his surroundings.

"What's wrong?" Aaron asked, somewhat puzzled.

Abe grinned, "Master, I heard that voice again."

Aaron shivered involuntarily, but when he saw Dumbledore in the teachers' seat, his heart instantly calmed down.

With the most powerful white mage of this century here, there's nothing to fear from mere cowards hiding in hiding.

Even if we take a step back and assume that even Dumbledore couldn't stop this hidden danger, then they certainly couldn't either. Eating a little more now might allow them to die a full-bodied death.

"Can you hear where the sound is?" Aaron murmured, cautiously asking in Dragon Language.

The sound was very soft, perfectly masked by the noisy laughter in the auditorium, and even Draco, sitting in front of him, didn't notice it.

This wasn't because Aaron was being cautious; he was simply trying to avoid unnecessary trouble, since there weren't many people in the magical world who could communicate with dragons.

Abe pondered for a moment, then pointed to the door with one paw.

"It stayed in a corridor outside for a while, but it's not there anymore."

"Gone?"

Then I won't be afraid anymore.

Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, a faint smile appearing on his face.

But the thought that this unknown creature was still wandering in the castle weighed heavily on his mind.

We can't just ignore it! It would be bad if something happened that affected Hogwarts.

He earns ten magic points a day by signing in at Hogwarts, which is like a rocket compared to the one or two magic points he earns elsewhere.

To ensure rapid, healthy, and stable development, the safety of this magic school is of paramount importance.

call!

Aaron took a deep breath and looked down at Abe. "Are you absolutely, positively certain that the unknown creature is gone?"

Abe nodded hurriedly, "I'm absolutely sure, and it's run far away now, I can't sense its location."

"What are the specific details?"

Abe was stunned for a moment, then looked at Aaron speechlessly, "Master, I am not omnipotent."

"Sorry, I was overthinking it." Aaron smiled sheepishly, then picked up Abe. "Let's go take a look!"

"Where are you going?" Draco asked.

"Everyone has to go to the restroom sometimes."

The dinner is almost over. I'll go to the restroom and then head back to my dorm. You don't need to wait for me.

After saying that, Aaron walked out of the hall.

Abe followed the scent and led the way, bringing Aaron to the corridor on the third floor.

The corridor was empty, except for a lot of water stains on the floor.

“It’s just ahead,” Abe said, pointing to the corner ahead.

Aaron slowed his pace, lowered his voice, and carefully avoided the puddles on the ground, afraid of making any noise.

At the same time, he was ready to act, his wand ready to be drawn at any moment.

If there is real danger, a few spells would make Voldemort cry out in pain, and he would have a chance to escape.

But when he got closer, he was stunned and opened his mouth. His first thought was that the disappearance of these three together must be poisonous.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were standing in front of a wall, on which there appeared to be crimson words written in blood.

Chapter 154 The Legend of the Locked Room

"Ahem!" Aaron coughed. "What are you doing?"

The three of them shuddered, feeling as if they had been caught doing something wrong. They only breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that it was Aaron's voice.

When Harry saw Aaron approaching, he asked somewhat nervously, "Did you just hear a hoarse voice?"

Aaron pretended to think for a moment, then shook his head. "No, I didn't hear anything."

Harry subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "Then how did you end up here?"
