Hogwarts: When the live Q&A goes live

Chapter 46 Subtle friction sound
Harry hid in the invisibility cloak and walked over quietly.

He deliberately stayed close to the wall, just not wanting to miss the sound that might appear again.

This time, he didn't call anyone, not even Ron.

The corridor was very quiet, he quickly crossed an empty classroom and looked elsewhere.

No one was there, and it was very quiet.

But this was obviously not the answer he wanted.

Where will it be?
Will those voices that only you can hear appear again?
He was a little confused, Harry, who was quietly walking through the corridor, stopped suddenly, and some small voices appeared in his ears.

Suddenly, Harry leaned cautiously against the wall.

But obviously, those small voices did not come from inside the wall.

He turned his head to look at the wall in doubt, and the soft voice just now appeared in his ear again, and the voice was even a little hurried.

Moreover, it was obvious that it was getting farther and farther away. If he hadn't listened carefully, he wouldn't even be able to hear it.

Harry roughly confirmed the direction of the voice just now, and quickly chased after him.

………………

Reeves and Cedric fell silent as they walked out of the Hufflepuff common room.

Cedric didn't want Filch to find out.

Even though they were discovered, Filch would only think that the two of them were the Weasley brothers.

After all, the two of them used invisibility cloaks to cover their bodies, and ordinary people couldn't find them.

Even if it would be an inferior invisibility cloak.

Not something a Squib can spot either.

In the quiet corridor, there was no sound at all.

However, when Levi's and Cedric walked by, the invisibility cloaks on their bodies would emit a faint light. If you don't look carefully, you may not be able to find it.

It was the shimmer of light emitted by the Invisibility Cloak itself as it moved.

But when they were still, the cloak lost that shimmer and looked exactly like its surroundings.

This subtle change was invisible to the two people hiding in the invisibility cloak.

"Did you hear anything, Cedric?"

Reeves stopped suddenly, causing Cedric to bump into him.

"What did you say?"

Cedric, rubbing his nose, asked suspiciously.

Levi's spoke too softly just now, and Cedric didn't hear him clearly.

"Shh!"

Levi's didn't answer his question, but instead put his middle finger on his mouth, signaling him to be quiet.

Afterwards, he squatted down and listened carefully to the movement he had just heard.

It was a very subtle... grinding sound!

If he hadn't been paying attention to the movement around him, maybe he would have ignored it like Cedric.

But now, he noticed.

Cedric also squatted down, first took out his wand and carefully cast a sound-blocking magic on the two of them.

After that, he asked Levi in ​​a low voice.

"what happened?"

"There are voices, some very small voices."

Levi saw all the actions Cedric made just now, so he naturally knew what he did.

While explaining to Cedric, he was also listening carefully to the source of those subtle voices.

"Then let's go and have a look now."

Cedric said excitedly that the number of night tours in Hogwarts can be counted on his fingers.

When encountering something that seemed very weird, Cedric's first thought was not to go back to the lounge, nor to tell the professor about this weird thing.

What he thinks now is very simple, that is to take this opportunity to see who it is who made these small voices.

Is it a professor?
Or Filch, or something.

"No, Cedric!"

He originally thought that Levi's would be like him, wanting to see where the sound came from.

But who knows, the first person to refuse is Levi's.

Cedric was puzzled, he looked at Levi's, but found that his face was no longer as relaxed and freehand as before, and was replaced by a little dignified.

This made him hold back what he originally wanted to ask.

He has known Levi's for so long, and he has never seen such a dignified and serious expression on him.

The place where they are now is located in the corridor on the third floor, and there are stairs that can go up, but those changeable stairs may take them to another place at any time.

The source of the sound went up and down, which made Levi's standing in the corridor a little bit in a dilemma, not knowing whether to go down or up.

If the time he is in now is not when the Chamber of Secrets is opened, then he naturally doesn't mind going to the source of the sound with Cedric to take a look.

But now, he didn't know when the basilisk would come out of the secret room and attack the Hogwarts students again.

This made him very wary of any disturbance in the school.

Avoid as much as possible.

"Let's go upstairs, Cedric!"

"Okay, I'm fine."

After a battle between man and nature, Levi turned his head to look at Cedric, and decided to take a gamble in his heart.

The bathroom where Myrtle is located is between the second and third floors, and if the basilisk is going to come out, it is likely to be on the second and third floors.

The place where Filch's cat had been attacked the last time was on the second floor, right around where the basilisk was going.

If he guessed correctly, the source of the subtle voice should be the second floor.

Cedric nodded in response to Levi's. Although he didn't know why Levi's face had such a dignified look as if he had encountered something dangerous, it didn't prevent him from trusting the person in front of him.

As for whether Hogwarts would be in great danger under the protection of Dumbledore, he never considered it at all.

As we all know, Hogwarts is one of the safest places in the world.

That's why Cedric was curious and puzzled by Levi's serious expression before.

Now that the decision was made, the two of them quickly came to the stairs wearing the invisibility cloak, and waited for the stairs to change positions before continuing to go upstairs.

This is the magical place of Hogwarts, the magical castle.

Soon, after the stairs changed positions, a staircase stopped in front of the two of them.

Levi led Cedric up the stairs, and the small voice faded away.

It also made him who was very nervous quietly relieved.
