The plan ended at ten o 'clock in the evening.
Jon had just returned from the common room and told Cedric about the conversation he had with Professor Sprout in the evening. He also conveyed the professor's opinion.
As an important member of the academy's management, the relationship between Cedric and Jon quickly improved after they were no longer harassed by Béla. Usually, Jon would not deliberately avoid him.
However, as soon as he returned to the dorm and was about to rest, the bracelet on his wrist vibrated.
So early?
He bought this bracelet from Flip Alley. There were two in total. When one was activated by magic, the other would vibrate until Jon responded.
It was like an electronic bracelet that vibrated.
Eddy used this to inform him that Bain had started to move.
But why was it so early?
Jon looked at his watch. It was only ten o 'clock in the evening. This was the time when Filch was patrolling for the first time.
But he had to go out.
Jon cast a Phantom Spell on himself, took off his outermost robe, and took off the academy badge. He then turned around and left the dorm.
According to the map of the survival point, Filch and his cat were patrolling on the fourth floor. Eddy and Bain had just come down from Ravenclaud Tower and were near the stairs on the first floor, preparing to go to the secret passage on the fifth floor.
"Stones flying."
Jon waved his magic wand and summoned a few stones to fly to the corridor on the first floor. Seeing Filch and Madam Loris coming down from the other side of the stairs, Jon turned around and ran to the stairs.
[Eavesdropping], activate.
Jon listened to the location of the wind and ignored the two discordant voices and hurried to Eddy's location.
He did not know which two unlucky bastards came out at this time. If they were caught by Filch, it would have nothing to do with him.
After quickly climbing the stairs for half a day, Jon, who had just removed the Phantom Spell, came to Eddy's side and saw Bain pressing the mechanism to open the secret passage.
"Why are you panting?"
Eddy turned sideways and looked at Jon under the dim light and asked softly.
"Nothing, I just met Filch."
After making up a harmless lie, Jon took a deep breath and calmed his restless heartbeat.
"Should we follow them now?"
"Please wait a moment."
Jon had already made a decision in his heart. Bain's voice gradually disappeared from the feedback of the wind.
"Let's go."
The two of them crept out of the darkness and into the corridor.
Jon reached out his wand and lightly tapped the button on the mechanism. The button automatically retracted, and the wall in front of them parted, revealing a secret passage that was taller than both of them.
This mechanism could naturally be pressed by hand, but this method was written on the map. Jon was more used to following the instructions on the map.
"Come with me."
He glanced at Eddie behind him. "Stay close. We're going to find Ben."
Eddie nodded and followed Jon into the darkness of the secret passage.
Behind them, the entrance to the secret passageway closed silently.
The darkness was like an endless tide surrounding them. Only the ray of light on the tip of Jon's wand faintly illuminated their faces.
"Don't be afraid. It's just dark."
Jon listened to the suddenly louder heartbeat behind him and said without turning his head, "The secret passages of Hogwarts are very clean. There's nothing to be afraid of here."
"…"
Eddie's mouth twitched, and he did not know what to say. He could only quicken his pace and follow Jon closely.
Although it was silent in the darkness, he always felt that something was following behind him. He did not know what it was, but the further he walked, the clearer it became. It sounded like someone was crying, but if he listened carefully, he could not tell at all.
He grew up listening to legends, and now he felt as cold as if he was surrounded by dementors. As long as he relaxed a little, those things would pounce on him and suck his soul away.
After walking in fear for a long time, there was finally a light at the end of the long passage. Although the moonlight outside was not very bright, it was much better than the darkness in the secret passage.
In that cold darkness, he felt that his heart was about to stop beating.
"We're here."
Jon's voice was as low as a mosquito's buzz in Eddie's ears. After experiencing the long darkness in the secret passage, even such a voice sounded good to Eddie.
Jon knew that they were almost there a moment ago, because the [Eavesdropping Wind Whisper] no longer gave him feedback of music, but the voice of a human.
It was an American accent.
Jon grew up in the United Kingdom and had traveled to many places. In Hogwarts, he had met classmates from all over the British Isles. In his previous life, when he memorized vocabulary and watched TV series, he had learned to distinguish the accents of different countries.
The Dark Sorcerer did not try to hide his accent. To Jon, who grew up listening to English accents, this accent was a clear indication of where he was from.
At the end of the secret passage was a forest.
The moonlight was scattered by the leaves. Jon and Eddie walked closer and hid behind a big tree.
Not far away, Ben lowered his head and stopped in front of a Wizard shrouded in a black robe, listening to the latter's orders.
Jon signaled Eddie to wait here and follow the plan. He quietly went out from behind the big tree.
At the same time, he cast a Phantom Spell on himself.
…
It was not a good night for Edmund.
After some effort, he finally tricked Kelly, the witch who was guarding him, and ran out of the basement with the piano case.
Black Wizards were often better at escaping than other wizards, especially members like Edmund who were highly valued in the Black Wizard Association. They were even better at escaping.
It was a pity that such a precious magic item had been wasted. Thinking of the antique magic item, Substitute, that he had used, Edmund's heart ached.
Such a precious magic item was now priceless in the entire Western magic world. He had only gotten it after he controlled a declining noble. Even his teacher did not know of its existence.
Thinking of this, he looked at the little boy's face in front of him and gradually became angry.
He held the strings, thinking that this was the last time, so he might as well plant a more powerful spell. When this plan was over, he would let him leave this world.
But as soon as he held the bow, he heard the sound of someone breaking branches.
"Who is it?"
