"William is missing?"
Hoffa repeated Antonio's words.
"That's right. Let's … let's go … "
Antonio stammered and gestured with his hands.
"Go where?"
Hoffa's face looked cold in the dark.
"We …"
Antonio lowered his head. He had always been timid. When he saw Hoffa's face, he didn't dare to continue.
Instead, it was Taylor who stepped forward. He coughed twice and said solemnly,
"We went to the head teacher's bathroom to explore. But after we went in, William never came out. He's missing. "
Head teacher's bathroom, exploring?
Hoffa's eyes widened. These bastards really went!
Ravenclaw's head teacher, Sherlock Bohan, was a girl! These bastards sneaked into the female head teacher's bathroom, and one of them actually went missing!
Seeing the uneasy look on their faces, Hoffa was annoyed and had a headache. What kind of idiots were they?
"He didn't come out? Maybe he fell into the pool. "
"No …" Antonio waved his hands. "We searched the entire bathroom and didn't see him come out."
"Maybe he turned invisible and played with you guys."
Hoffa said calmly.
Antonio was stunned.
"William doesn't know how to turn invisible."
"We want you to help us find him." Tyler said softly, "You're so powerful, you must have a way."
Hoffa was even more annoyed. He said, "This kind of thing should be handled by the head teacher and the dean. Go find Dumbledore, it's already curfew outside. "
"Don't." Antonio waved his hands.
"If Dumbledore finds out, we're dead. We might even be fired … Come and look for him with us. If we find him, we'll let it go. "
Antonio added with a pleading tone, "I'm begging you."
Seeing Antonio's nose covered in sweat, Hoffa's fingers tightened on the bedsheet. This roommate was similar to Neville Longbottom. Other than having a better memory, their personalities were almost the same.
Tyler wanted to say something, but Antonio stopped him.
"Hoffa, as long as we find William, I swear, we won't do this again."
Tyler immediately agreed, "Really, just this once. Help us, Hoffa."
Hoffa muttered softly, "What does what you guys do have to do with me?"
But after he said that, he stood up and said expressionlessly,
"Lead the way."
Antonio and Tyler were overjoyed.. They took out an old lantern from the bedside table, lit it, and led Hoffa left the dormitory.
There were not many people in the school at night. Antonio and Taylor walked in front with an old lantern.
On the way to the superintendent's bathroom, Huo Fa roughly understood what had happened.
William made a bet with a Gryffindor student to see who could find the most precious treasure in the leader's bathroom. After Gryffindor's student entered, he took out a silver candlestick. But after William entered, no one came out.
A group of people went in and searched for a long time, but to no avail.
Gryyin.'s students were frightened. They thought that stealing the candlestick had caused an unknown curse, so they left in a hubbub. After the bathroom was empty, it was dark. Antonio and Tyler did not dare to explore too much, so they came to Hoffa for help.
The head teacher's bathroom was on the sixth floor in front of the statue of Boris. Antonio leaned on the side and whispered, "Sweet spiritual melon."
The door opened with a creak, revealing a dark corridor behind. There was no light in the bathroom.
"Let's … go in and look?"
Antonio stood at the dark entrance. He thought of William's disappearance and gulped.
Tyler bumped into Antonio, and Antonio immediately stopped talking.
This small action did not escape Hoffa's eyes. He looked at the dark entrance and took the lantern from Antonio.
"Don't go in. Keep a lookout. If anyone comes, remember to go in and inform me."
Antonio was relieved. "Okay, okay."
Taylor wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and hurriedly retreated to the side of the statue. He looked around with a serious expression on his face.
Hoffa did not care about his pretentious attitude. He took the lantern and went into the bathroom.
This place was similar to when Harry came to the top three in the future. Luxurious chandeliers, snow-white marble floors, the atmosphere was completely different.
However, the whole atmosphere was completely reversed. There was no warmth here like when Harry came to take a bath. The whole space was dark and there was no light. The outlines of the furnishings under the flickering light of the lantern were like poor lost souls.
In this place, Hoffa felt that he was the only living creature in this world.
The lantern lit up the wall.
The mermaid in the gilded frame saw Hoffa's figure and quietly hid in the water.
Hoffa walked to the oil painting and looked at the mermaid with only half of her head exposed.
He asked softly, "Has anyone been here before?"
The mermaid in the painting nodded.
"Where did he go?"
The mermaid looked at Hoffa and did not speak. She disappeared into the painting with a plop. The strange look in his eyes made Huo Fa's hair stand on end.
He touched the bottom of the marble bath. This bathroom had not been used for a long time. There were only dried water stains on the bottom. There were also some golden hairs stuck to the bottom of the bath.
This was a normal thing. The bath belonged to Sherlock Bohan, who had long blonde hair.
However, in addition to the long hair, Huo Fa also saw a few colorful feathers.
The feathers were not stuck to the bottom. They were floating on the surface. They were dry and new. Feathers … Was there a bird here?
He picked up the feathers. They felt like the tail feathers of a parrot.
Parrot?
He held the lantern and shone it around, but there was nothing. There were no signs of fighting or tearing at the scene. He touched the faucet and pulled twice, but there was only a gurgling sound. There was no water. The school's House Elves might have stopped the hot water supply after the Prefect left.
Strange. Hoffa straightened up.
Although the bath was well-decorated, it was not the kind of erotic bath from the late Roman period. The area was limited. There was no space for people to hide inside.
Unless Antonio was lying to him out of boredom, how could a living person like William disappear into thin air?
He closed his eyes, opened his mental force field, and felt for a moment. There were no residual magical waves.
It was neither a prank nor a game of hide-and-seek.
Then where did he go?
Rubbing the strange tail feather in his hand, he walked out of the bathroom and returned to the corridor outside the Prefect's bathroom.
He planned to ask Antonio and Tyler to see if he had missed any information.
But when Hoffa walked out of the bathroom, his roommate, who was supposed to be waiting outside to keep watch, was nowhere to be seen.
Only the statue of the confused Boris was left. He wore his gloves backward and had a blank expression. He seemed to be mocking himself silently.
"Antonio? Tyler? "
He called twice in the dark corridor, but he could only hear his own echo. No one answered.
He looked at his watch. It was almost one in the morning.
"Damn it, b * stard …"
Hoffa cursed silently. He actually left him behind and ran away.
Could it be that he went back to sleep? There should be a limit to how shameless he could be.
He strode towards the common room in Ravenclaw. But when he returned to the common room. Antonio and Tyler were not in the common room. When he entered the dormitory, they were not there either.
.....
.....
Standing at the door of the dormitory, the cold winter wind passed through the curtains and covered Hoffa's body. His heart seemed to have fallen into the deep sea, sinking straight down.
If it was not a prank, then something must have happened.
He walked to the edge of the bed and sat for a while. Two voices appeared in his mind.
One voice told him to hurry up and find them.
However, another voice was saying, "What does this have to do with me? Isn't it what I want to see?"
After sitting by the bed for two minutes, the voice that told him to go find them won.
He really did not want to care, but he felt that if he did not care, his conscience would be uneasy. What if something really happened to the two of them?
Although he did not have a good relationship with his roommate, they were still roommates.
He stood up again and ran out of the common room. He searched everywhere in the castle.
Because it was dark, he did not dare to shout too loudly. He could only go from corner to corner, classroom to classroom.
He held the lantern and ran through the corridors interwoven with mistletoe in the dark. He ran through the classrooms filled with armor and crawled through the secret passageways filled with spider webs.
He found the main hall from the twelfth floor. His three stupid roommates seemed to have gone to another dimension and disappeared without a trace.
When he reached the main hall, he bent down and leaned against the wall, panting.
The snowflakes outside the castle floated in through the high windows and landed on his shoulders. He exhaled a mouthful of white mist. Under the light of the old lantern, his shadow was long and wide on the wall.
The sound of someone running came from the quiet corridor. His mind jolted, and he turned to look.
In the dim light, two rats quickly ran past the shadow he cast. Hoffa sighed. He thought too much. It was just two rats.
At this time, he felt that something was looking at him and raised his head. The black and white cat he saw in the bathroom was squatting on a beast's head, staring at him without blinking.
What was going on?
What a coincidence.
Did he disturb it from catching rats?
Hoffa felt that something was wrong.
He rubbed his eyes.
The black and white cat disappeared.
Just as he was curious, faint voices came from outside the main hall. There were people!
He thought that it was his roommates, so he quickly rushed over.
But when he got closer, it was not his roommates, but a few deans and professors of the school. They whispered to each other as they walked to the school gate. There, a Yee Qi carriage stopped in the darkness. There were twelve of them, standing silently in the snow. Not a single snowflake remained on their shiny black and thin bodies.
Seeing the professors, Hoffa was shocked and immediately wanted to retreat. It was curfew time now. If he was found wandering outside, he would be punished.
But then, the door of the Ye Qi carriage at the school gate opened. The person who got off the carriage made Hoffa's eyes light up.
It turned out to be Dumbledore, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He had auburn hair and a beard, wore a gray robe, and looked tired. He looked like he had just returned from a long journey.
Seeing him, Hoffa seemed to have found his backbone. A whole month of nightmares made him very eager to see the man in front of him. He stopped himself from leaving.
The deans of the four academies and several other professors stopped at the door and talked to Dumbledore beside the Ye Qi carriage. They were probably talking about some urgent tasks.
After the exchange, the deans of the four academies boarded the Ye Qi carriage. Then, the twelve Ye Qi horses flapped their wings and took off with the carriage, flying and disappearing into the night sky.
Only two people were left in the snow. One was Dumbledore, and the other was the current Transformation professor, Jacob Bohan. They chatted as they walked, and their voices faintly reached Hoffa's ears.
Jacob Bohan: "Is the Ministry of Magic so short of manpower …?"
Dumbledore: "Yes, is the hospital okay …"
Bohan: "Pretty good … Although the medicine is still not …"
Dumbledore: "Everything … Can Dracath cultivate more for us … I heard that there are not enough fire dragons … The students are very …"
Bohan: "Fire dragons are not the owls sold in Diagon Alley."
The two walked closer, and their voices gradually became clearer.
Dumbledore: "I'm already thinking of a way, give me a little more time."
Bohan said softly, "I'm worried that even if there are enough fire dragons, Dracath won't give more people the chance to ride them. He's an old noble. To him, the top of the pyramid doesn't need so many people. "
"What about you?"
"I support you, Abusi, completely support you …"
The man said softly.
Dumbledore and Bohan stood under the statue of the beast head and chatted for a long time before Bohan bypassed him and returned to his office.
After he left, Dumbledore raised his head and exhaled a mouthful of white fog before walking up the stairs from the hall.
Hoffa immediately stood out from the darkness and blocked Dumbledore.
