Instinctively, Noah felt that Professor Snape might not like Professor Lance.
Well, it's not exactly hostility, but there are definitely opinions.
I don’t know if there is any personal grudge between them.
But this has nothing to do with Noah, and he doesn't need to pay attention to it.
Therefore, regarding the vague tit-for-tat confrontation between the two professors, he kept an eye on the situation, as if he was the backdrop.
But in tonight's conversation, I'm afraid he is the protagonist.
The two professors quickly looked away in unison, waiting for Dumbledore to speak.
After Noah left that night, Dumbledore continued to walk along the secret passage for some distance, but he failed to discover the whereabouts of the dark wizard.
Especially since the secret passage leads to the vicinity of the Forbidden Forest, the traces seen after coming out are even more confusing.
The small animals that occasionally wandered outside the Forbidden Forest were mixed with the footprints of gamekeepers or professors and students of the Care of Magical Creatures course. Adding to the darkness, it was difficult to tell who had left them.
After some tentative searches, Dumbledore had to give up and continue tracking.
He could only inform the gamekeeper Hagrid and Sylvanus Kettleburn, the professor of Care of Magical Creatures, and ask them to pay attention to any abnormalities in the Forbidden Forest.
In other words, they haven't made much progress in their investigation.
This is not good news.
Dumbledore's eyes darkened.
"I'm sorry, Noah, but could you please tell me more about what happened that day?" Dumbledore's tone was not forceful, "We need this."
Coming, Noah had already been prepared.
"Of course, Professor."
"That day when I came out of the secret passage on the fifth floor, I noticed the rat first."
Professor Lance heard what he said and looked at Noah subconsciously, and saw Noah continuing to speak with a cold expression.
"Because I had some impression of the mouse, I subconsciously stopped. I was standing behind the statue. The mouse didn't notice me, but it heard the footsteps of other people, so it ran into the secret room behind the tapestry. Tao. Then I saw the senior also entered the same secret passage, followed behind him..."
He looked to the side at the Weasley twins.
To be precise, everyone's eyes are now on the two of them.
The two Weasleys subconsciously stood up straight, and even the cups in their hands were subconsciously placed on the table, looking well-behaved.
But Professor McGonagall glared at the two of them fiercely. She would not be gullible just because these two guys were pretending to be good. You must know that these two guys just ended their confinement a week ago. Unexpectedly, it has not even been a week yet. The two of them ran out again and openly violated school rules. They were arrested again and met a dark wizard!
They almost died, but these two still looked so heartless. Look how frightened her poor third grader was!
She can guarantee that these two have never learned their lesson!
Noah's story continues: "After they went in, I felt something wasn't right."
"What's wrong?"
"That's it, principal. I have some impression of that rat. I heard a senior from our college mention that they were attacked by a rat. The rat scratched one of them and even bit his Robe. This is unusual, principal." Noah said bluntly what happened before, "That mouse would attack students, which shows that it is not an ordinary little wizard's pet, so I asked for some details about the mouse at that time. I recognized that rat when I saw it last night."
"So I followed in, and then there was an attack by a dark wizard. But when I arrived, the Gryffindor had already fallen to the ground, and the dark wizard was planning to attack the two of them, so I could only urgently Saved someone.”
Now everyone's attention was on him.
Professor Lance opened his mouth and was about to ask, but Snape started to ask: "Oh, how did our 'heroic' Mr. Lannister save your classmates?"
Noah was silent for a moment: "It's my improved luminous spell."
He took out his wand and cast the glowing spell.
A bright light lit up from the tip of the wand, and then flew away from the wand to the top of the head, and the light gradually became stronger.
After the light reached a certain level, Noah stopped the spell, and the light spot quickly dimmed and disappeared.
"It is indeed a luminous spell." Dumbledore nodded and asked with some relief, "Did you improve it yourself?"
"Yes, Professor, because I like reading, but the light in our common room is relatively dark, so I tried to improve this spell. As you can see, the effect is very good." Noah was very calm.
"In a dark environment, a moment of bright light can indeed make people temporarily blind." Dumbledore nodded.
In this way, the traces of spells on the wall should have been cast randomly by the dark wizard in a panic.
Of course, there are still many doubts in these words, such as how he brought the three people up.
Noah also thought about his words, but he never expected that Dumbledore stopped questioning and turned to look at the two Weasleys.
"What about you, Fred and George?"
Noah, who was suddenly let go, couldn't help showing a little surprise.
He subconsciously looked at Dumbledore, but Dumbledore was focused on the two Weasleys and seemed to already know what he wanted to know.
Looking at the other professors, except for Snape, everyone else also focused on the two Weasleys.
Snape glanced at Noah gloomily and quickly looked away.
The Weasley twins began to explain one by one.
The two described themselves as a "normal night out."
This rhetoric earned a stern glare from Professor McGonagall.
But the two of them just shrank their necks without any intention of changing their words, and continued: "We found that Senior Rubin went out for a night out earlier than us."
"Out of curiosity, we wanted to know what he was going to do."
"I found out that he entered the secret passage."
"We just followed in."
The two recalled how they met the dark wizard that day, but they didn't show much fear: "The dark wizard was wearing a black cloak."
"A snake was conjured and bit Rubin."
"We were terrified."
"Then it was discovered."
"But Noah is awesome!"
"He and the dark wizard exchanged several spells."
"Then they covered our eyes."
"We were rescued after that."
Noah: “…”
Very good, now everyone is looking at him again. Noah has seen a familiar sneer on the corner of Professor Snape's mouth, and he is about to spit out some vicious words in the next second.
Professor Lance spoke first and patted Noah on the shoulder: "Really? How many spells did Noah exchange with the dark wizard?"
