"Dang, Dang! Creak - bang!"

When the metal knife made that crazy sound on the plate again, Malfoy finally threw the knife and fork on the table angrily, frowned and leaned back against the back of the chair.

On the wall, the little wall clock was still ticking, and the sea water outside the side window was still beating the outer wall. The sound of the rain was disturbing.

The rainstorm has lasted all night since it began late last night.

"Call -"

A moment later, Malfoy seemed to realize that it was useless to be so bored. So he couldn't help but take a long breath and try to calm himself down.

Then he drew out his wand and waved it gently on the bed.

The magic book on the head of the bed just jumped, then fell on the floor and made another "bang".

Obviously, since the key of silent mantra skill lies in concentration, the probability of failure in his current mental state is certainly high.

"Damn it," cried Malfoy, pulling the corners of his mouth. "Books are flying!"

This time, with a clear spell as an aid, of course, nothing would go wrong with his spell level. The thick magic book finally jumped up and fell into his hands.

Then he put down his magic wand and opened the page. Then he continued to read where he stuffed the bookmark - since he always thinks about things in his mind when he is idle, it's better to fill it with magic knowledge, so that at least he can't have time to taste the weakness in his heart again and again.

"... 'silencing mantra is a magic mantra with high practical value. It can eliminate footsteps, hide mantra chanting, and even cover up the crackling sound when the phantom is unskilled'... Oh, this damn thunderstorm, I think I should put a silencing mantra on this cabin now!"

After reading a few lines, Malfoy was disturbed by a loud thunder, which gradually distracted his attention.

But just then, a series of footsteps sounded outside the cabin door, mixed with the murmur of thunder and rain outside the ship, which seemed a little vague.

Malfoy could not help frowning again when he heard the footsteps approaching this way.

"Parkinson's again?"

Yes, of course, pansy has been running this way from time to time, no different from when he used to be at Hogwarts. To be honest, Malfoy himself is used to it, because the relationship between them has been like this since childhood.

On the contrary, recently... Pansy seems to feel somewhat different from before. What should I say? More interesting?

However, it was clear that the owner of the footsteps outside was not pansy - the other party passed by the door of Malfoy's cabin and soon disappeared again.

Malfoy shook his head as he listened to the other party leave, and then his eyes fell back on the page in his hand.

However, this time he still failed to immerse himself in books for too long.

That is, more than ten minutes later, the sound of footsteps that had just passed again went from far to near, and this time obviously brought another person. But the other step seems a little light. You may not be able to hear it if you don't listen carefully under the background of thunder and rainstorm.

However, the two men were lowering their voices to talk about the content, but Malfoy, who had nothing to do to listen, heard a few words.

"... sideboard... Spare boat... Wind and waves... Cover up your whereabouts..."

"Shut up... Go up and talk."

"Huh?" Malfoy raised his eyebrows.

Although the conversation between the two men was brief and careful, just a few words were enough for him to hear some clues.

"Is this to sneak away from the change?"

He thought, then suddenly closed the magic book in his hand and put it on the table. After he looked left and right, he took a waterproof cloak from the wardrobe and put it in a bag. After carrying it, he walked gently to the hatch with his magic wand.

And just for a while, the footsteps outside have become far away.

"Mute."

Before going out, Malfoy waved his wand and pointed to his feet - obviously, he agreed with the description of the silencing spell in the book just now.

……

At this moment, Ernst and Alexander, who had just passed in front of Malfoy's cabin, naturally did not realize that the short conversation between them had attracted a "heart man".

As they walked in the corridor, the wooden floor under their feet was a little old and sometimes creaked.

But fortunately, it was still breakfast time at the moment. It was normal for people to come and go. They didn't intend to hide anything.

"Hey! Alexander... I heard you were locked up last night?"

"Oh, don't mention it! Ah, sorry, we have to hurry to see the professor. We'll talk when we get back later!"

"Oh, is there any other punishment? Ha ha, it's enough for you this time..."

Alexander easily dealt with one or two classmates, which made Ernst look at him subtly.

"Look! As long as you don't lie easily, your words will become very convincing - I think it should be one of the benefits of being honest?"

Hearing what he said, Ernst's expression when he looked at him suddenly became more strange.

Before long, they went through the aisle in the middle of the cabin to the stairs that could climb the deck last night.

Here, there are few people, because the students are still eating in the bedroom area in the second half of the change!

When everyone came to this area after breakfast, they were ready to go to class as usual. They might have abandoned the life boat and began to speed up to leave the sea area on a broomstick.

"Let's go!"

Ernst looked around. There was no figure in the aisles. He whispered to Alexander to climb the stairs.

Here, the squeak of the step board finally made people feel a little uneasy, and they subconsciously accelerated their steps.

"Wow -"

When Ernst, who was walking in front, suddenly opened the hatch, almost a continuous raindrop was carried by the strong wind. At that time, he poured it in, so that they were soaked before they got on the deck.

"Remember to close the door." Ernst didn't look back.

The next moment, they slightly lowered their heads, bit their teeth and rushed into the rain curtain.

But before they could run a few more steps on the deck, a voice suddenly came from behind, making them both in the rain.

"Where are you... Going?"
