Noah was caught off guard and staggered: "No, Professor, in fact I failed to break the opponent's iron armor spell. It was just opportunistic."
"But being able to think of a way to deal with it calmly at that time is not something that ordinary first-year wizards can do." Professor Lance was very pleased. "Do you plan to become an Auror after graduation?"
If someone can show such fighting prowess in the first grade, as long as he is not evil, he is the best Auror prospect.
Noah: "..." No, I don't want to. Didn't you see that their principal's expression turned serious now?
Professor Snape on the side snorted coldly. Although he didn't spray any poison, his expression was as serious as the bottom of the crucible.
I always feel that I will be extremely unhappy tomorrow.
Dumbledore asked some more small details, such as whether the three of them saw the dark wizard's face, or whether they saw anything noteworthy.
Naturally, the Weasley twins couldn't see anything useful. They even just vaguely saw a figure wearing a black robe. After all, they didn't carry a light source at the time and couldn't see clearly at all.
And Noah... Noah actually saw a little bit.
"There is a scar on the back of his right hand." Noah gestured to a small area on his right hand, "It looks like a burn."
It is rare for wizards to have scars on their bodies. Unless it is caused by black magic, ordinary injuries can be perfectly repaired with potions.
And that's why Noah noticed the scar.
"Burn?" Professor Lance seemed to be sure of something, and he nodded to Dumbledore.
Snape watched their interaction and frowned again. He vaguely felt that he seemed to have missed some information.
After all, Dumbledore and Lance seemed to have confirmed a certain piece of information, especially the identity of the dark wizard.
But Dumbledore obviously wouldn't say it at this time. His expression relaxed a little: "Minerva, Snape, it's getting late now. You should take the three of them back to the dormitory first."
The two Weasleys wanted to say something, but after being glanced at by their dean, they immediately shut up and stood quietly behind Professor McGonagall.
Noah also consciously stood behind Snape.
The two deans naturally followed Principal Dumbledore's arrangements, took the students out of the principal's office, and sent them back to their dormitories.
On the way, the two Weasleys tried to make eye contact with Noah, but Noah ignored them at all, acting as if they were indifferent and unfamiliar with them.
But will the two Weasleys give up? Of course not. Their movements gradually became louder and quieter until they caught Professor McGonagall's attention.
It wasn't until the door of the tower that the two professors said goodbye to each other, and each took the student one upstairs and the other downstairs.
In silence all the way, Snape quietly took Noah down to the dungeon, but did not intend to take him back to the dormitory immediately. Instead, he took him straight to his office.
Noah didn't mention "taking the wrong path" either, so he wasn't stupid enough to touch the dean's brow.
It's just a pity that his "good performance" during the day has now become useless, and he doesn't know how many buckets of "fresh materials" he will face tomorrow.
After entering the office door, Noah consciously closed the door behind him and stood honestly opposite the desk.
Snape stared at him gloomily: "Mr. Lannister!"
When he is angry, he usually likes this kind of address that seems polite but is actually mocking.
"Sorry, Professor." Noah almost formed a conditioned reflex.
Snape didn't want to hear his sincere apology now. He was angry because of Noah's attitude. Until now, this guy has never "regreted" anything.
How on earth did this guy get sorted into Slytherin? !
His face tightened, which made him look even more gloomy: "Now you should be clear about your situation."
"Yes, Professor." Noah's current situation is probably the "thorn in the side" of the dark wizard. He faced the dark wizard directly, successfully rescued the three young wizards, and also got certain clues about the other party's identity. This is simply a With the labels "witnesses" and "survivors", the Muggle world is the murderer's next target, and this also applies to the wizarding world.
In other words, compared to Weasley and the unfortunate Rubin who was lying in the hospital, Noah was the most likely target to be attacked.
This was also the reason why Snape didn't let him go alone today.
When he fails to accurately grasp the opponent's traces, he may hide in any corner of the castle at any time, ready to attack any little wizard.
"Then you'd better be good," Snape warned, "and don't have any thoughts of overestimating your capabilities."
"Of course, Professor," Noah nodded, his silver-grey eyes showing his usual calmness, "I'm a Slytherin."
This gesture is indeed very Slytherin, and Slytherin has always been the best at judging situations. He would not overestimate his capabilities and kill someone even though he knew he was no match for him.
Snape's eyes moved: "It's best this way."
He opened the drawer, put something in, then stood up and walked out: "Now, go back to your dormitory. At six o'clock tomorrow morning, I hope to see you appear at the door of the common room. "
"Okay, Professor."
Professor Snape sent Noah to the door of the lounge just now, watched him go in, and then looked away.
…
When Noah returned to the dormitory, his roommates were already lying on the bed, looking like they would fall asleep at any time.
But when Noah came in, the three guys immediately sat up straight.
"You're back, Noah."
"Um."
Noah walked to the glass box containing Keya. Keya had long since fallen asleep heartlessly, and the whole snake was still turned over.
Noah knocked on the glass box, waking up Keya who was sleeping.
The lazy snake turned over lazily and finally noticed Noah.
It straightened up and stared at Noah while spitting out a snake message, as if it was welcoming him back, as if it wasn't the one who had fallen asleep just now.
Noah opened the glass box and took it out, and Keya immediately climbed into his clothes along his wrist.
The three roommates on the side looked at each other and saw that Noah had taken off the outer wizard robe and hung it on the hanger. He only wore the inner layer: "I'm going to wash up. You can go to bed first."
The others nodded and lay down on the bed.
Noah took Keya out of the dormitory and went to the bathroom.
There is a small bathroom at the end of the Slytherin lounge. It is said that it was renovated by a former Slytherin who occupied the dormitory without permission.
There was no Slytherin to expose him afterwards, and everyone would wash up here sometimes when they were too lazy to go to the large bathroom.
Now mostly asleep, Noah is completely free to use as he pleases.
After dealing with "fresh materials" for a day, Noah also needed to take a shower urgently.
