What the hell was this guy doing? Running around the castle in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?!
What surprised Elwyn even more was that Keresis didn't look Moody, but returned to his original appearance.
Although he was still wearing Moody's clothes, the compound decoction had lost its effect. What happened?!
Keresis seemed to be running away. Thinking of this, Elwyn immediately became vigilant.
"Who was that?" Hermione asked doubtfully. "He looked familiar, but he didn't seem to be someone from the school."
She lowered her head and pondered. She must have seen that person's back before, but she couldn't remember where.
The light on the stairs was too dim, and the person was moving very fast. Hermione couldn't see clearly.
"We'll talk about it when we get back. Let's get out of here quickly!" Elwyn said quickly and pulled Hermione towards the stairs.
Since Keresis was running away, someone must be chasing after him.
If that was the case, Elwyn and Hermione appearing in the hall at this time seemed very untimely.
"Elwyn Mason, Hermione Granger, what are you two doing?!" A terrifying roar sounded behind them.
Elwyn and Hermione had just run a few steps when they saw Snape running out of the basement with a gloomy face.
He was holding a magic wand in his hand. He was wearing a gray shirt style pajamas and was glaring at the two of them fiercely.
"Professor Snape …"
"Professor, we're taking a walk!" Elwyn said, holding Hermione's small hand tightly to signal her not to speak.
"Take a walk?!" Snape walked over and said angrily, "Taking a walk in the castle in the middle of the night instead of sleeping is a really bad habit. If I were the dean of your school, I'd expel both of you and kick you out of Hogwarts forever! "
He looked at Elwyn and Hermione with disgust. His expression was frightening, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Under Snape's glare, Hermione couldn't help but take half a step back and hide behind Elwyn.
"Did you see anyone just now?" he asked suddenly, his cold black eyes boring into Elwyn's.
In an instant, Elwyn felt his soul being sucked into it.
Damn it, it's Soul Capture. Snape actually used this spell directly.
Elwyn took a step to the right and stood in front of Hermione. He used Cerebral Seal to seal his brain …
"We didn't see anything, Professor," he said slowly. "We were alone in the hall."
"Is that so?!" Snape narrowed his eyes and approached Elwyn. "Do you know what just happened?"
"I don't know!" said Elwyn.
He tried not to look at Snape's eyes, but he could feel that the other party had increased his magic.
With such a powerful force, what was Snape trying to do? Was he trying to turn him into an idiot?!
In fact, Snape was shocked that he didn't find anything.
The boy's brain was empty in front of him. He was all too familiar with this feeling.
Every time he faced Dumbledore and Lord Voldemort, he would be like this. This was Cerebral Seal!
Snape was shocked that Elwyn could use Cerebral Seal so skillfully.
But it was not enough. Elwyn had only grasped the basics of this technique. He could not completely seal his brain.
Snape could feel the gaps in Elwyn's brain. As long as he increased his power, he could get the secret he wanted.
"Someone broke into my office tonight!" Snape said coldly.
"That's unfortunate!" Elwyn replied softly. The pressure was increasing.
"Don't play dumb, Mason. You must know something! I don't care how much magic knowledge you have, or how many times you've appeared in the newspaper. In my eyes, you're just an annoying little boy. Maybe you think you can ignore all the rules and regulations, but you have to pay the price. " Snape looked at Elwyn and said impatiently, "Just now, someone broke into my office, but you weren't in your bed …"
"It's just a coincidence!" Elwyn said, holding Hermione's small hand tightly, "Did you lose something important? Then you better be careful. The magic world hasn't been peaceful recently. The attack at the Quidditch World Cup, the Mark of the Dark Demon appeared again, and the Death Eaters. Do you think it's Lord Voldemort … "
"Shut up, Mason!" Snape's face instantly turned pale. He said in disgust, "Don't mention that name in front of me."
As the magic was dispelled, Snape's right hand subconsciously grasped a spot on his left arm. That was the location of the Mark of the Dark Demon.
Elwyn heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that his plan had worked!
"Very good, very good!" Snape said fiercely, "You may not know, but the potion ingredients in my personal storage room have disappeared. Without a doubt, some students wanted to make forbidden potions … So I deliberately left a defensive spell there. It's a very powerful spell, more powerful than you can imagine. That spell was triggered just now, and when I chased after it, I saw the two of you. Mason, Granger, do you know what this means? "
"I don't know!" Elwyn continued to shake his head, gesturing for Hermione not to worry. "We didn't see anyone here. Professor, you think that someone broke into your office and touched your magic? This might be an illusion!"
Although he said that, Elwyn kept cursing Keresis in his heart.
Potion ingredients, why couldn't he let his subordinates find those ingredients?!
It's not like there was no one outside to help him, why must he steal from Snape's personal storage room!
Although there were indeed many valuable and precious potions that tempted Elwyn, the risk was too great.
"You don't know again?!" Snape hissed. "I understand, maybe the two of you snuck into my office."
There was a moment of oppressive silence. Snape sized up Elwyn and Hermione with ill intentions.
Hermione did not look at him. She did not know why Elwyn would lie to Snape. They clearly saw a figure just now.
If this went on, Snape would lock his suspicions on the two of them.
Facing Snape's anger was no laughing matter.
Although there were many suspicious points, tonight's incident was obviously a little strange.
Hermione was rational and did not express her opinion. She was going to ask Elwyn when they got back.
Elwyn saw Snape's eyes flash, and he put a hand into his black robe.
For a moment, Elwyn thought that Snape was going to take out his magic wand and cast some spell on himself and Hermione.
