As he turned to leave, Harry made sure to show every part of the corridor to the Enchanted Mirror for Distant Viewing. Despite its limitations on protected areas, he hoped to spy on the location later. If successful, he planned to monitor if anyone approached the corridor, be it student or faculty. If students wandered near, he would observe if the Compelling Zone affected them too. If faculty appeared, he aimed to see their awareness of the zone. Although Dumbledore was his first suspect, perhaps the headmaster was merely a senile, incompetent old fool.

After ensuring the mirror had a complete view of the area, Harry sent it back to his inventory along with the Magical Compass. With a deep sigh, he began to descend the stairs, the weight of discovery heavy on his mind.

"Gave up on exploring, Master Harry?" Nigel's voice carried a teasing edge. "Did the thrill of mystery lose its allure, or are you simply afraid of a little dark corridor?"

Harry responded with a slight smile, his tone even. "I don't feel like it anymore, Nigel. There's a time for bravery and a time for wisdom. Let's just say I'm choosing the latter this morning."

He made his way to the Great Hall for breakfast, the morning light casting long shadows through the tall windows. As he sat at the Slytherin table, Blaise Zabini and Theodore Nott joined him. Draco Malfoy and his cronies were notably absent.

"Good morning, Potter," Zabini greeted with a yawn, stretching his arms above his head, while Nott simply nodded in acknowledgment.

Harry nodded in return, his mind still occupied with the corridor's enigma. "Morning, Zabini, Nott. Sleep well?" he inquired politely, hoping to engage in light conversation to clear his mind.

Zabini, rubbing his eyes, replied, "As well as one can in a dungeon, I suppose. You look like you've been up for hours. Early morning plotting, Potter?"

Harry chuckled, a sound that drew a few curious glances from nearby students. "Something like that. Just a bit of exploration," he replied cryptically.

Nigel, seizing the opportunity for a jab, whispered in Harry's mind, "Ah yes, the daily adventures of Harry Potter. Who needs sleep when there are mysteries to solve and potentially lethal corridors to investigate?"

Harry suppressed a smile at Nigel's sarcasm. He turned his attention to the breakfast spread before him, filling his plate with bacon and eggs.

Zabini leaned back, a confident smile on his face. "I've been flying since I could walk. My mother made sure I was well-practiced."

Tracey chimed in with a grin, "I can hold my own, but I'm no seeker. More of a leisurely flyer, you know?"

Daphne added, "I'm decent enough. My family has a tradition of evening flights during the summer. It's quite serene."

Nott, who had been silent until now, shrugged. "I can fly, but I don't see the fuss. I prefer my feet on the ground."

Harry nodded, absorbing the information. It was good to know the capabilities of his peers, especially for future reference. He replied, "I've had a bit of practice myself. It's freeing, being up in the air."

Nigel's voice buzzed in Harry's ear, "Freeing for those who don't look like a young goblin clinging to a twig."

Harry stifled a laugh, earning a curious look from Tracey. He waved it off, "Just remembered something funny."
