Hogwarts Castle is indeed safe to a certain extent, but it is also really dangerous outside the castle.
This is the first time that Noah has met a dark wizard in the Forbidden Forest. The other person is still staring in the direction of the castle, and the malice in him is almost overflowing!
Noah blinked, motioned to the two Thestrals behind him to keep quiet, and he lurked into the shadows. The dark wizard there hadn't noticed his arrival yet, but vaguely heard the sound of horse hooves. He subconsciously glanced sideways and found two Thestrals waving their tails and tilting their heads to look at him, and then they started to drive them away. action.
The combat effectiveness of the Thestrals is actually not low. Attacking hastily will only cause trouble. Maybe other Thestrals will be alerted, and the gain will outweigh the losses. He took one last look in the direction of the castle, then turned into smoke and flew into the sky, leaving the Forbidden Forest.
Noah walked out of the shadows and stood where the dark wizard had just stood, imitating his posture and glancing at the castle, thoughtfully.
There is no moonlight tonight, so the whole castle is plunged into darkness. Only a black outline can be seen in the distance. The black lake surrounding the castle ripples from time to time, like a quagmire guarding the castle, making it difficult to approach.
The castle has always stood there, but it seems too mysterious to be shaken.
It's quite novel to stand here and look at the school. So why is the wizard standing here?
Early the next morning, as soon as Noah walked out of the lounge, he was blocked by Professor McGonagall at the entrance to the lobby: "Mr. Crouch will bring reporters to visit the school in the afternoon, please make arrangements."
Noah was confused for a moment. Why did the Director of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department bring reporters to the school at this time? I haven't heard of any new large-scale events. But he still agreed honestly. No matter what, he had to prepare to meet the other party.
He glanced at the auditorium, which was still empty, and first sent a message to the prefects and Nadira, asking them to gather in the prefects' room after breakfast. Then he entered the auditorium and found a seat to sit down, thinking for a few seconds. Seconds later, he took out the magic mirror again: "Anna, Longsternis."
The magic mirror was connected, and Anna's voice came from the magic mirror: "Noah?"
"Ana, I want to know something..."
At ten o'clock in the morning, Noah had to skip class. Fortunately, the student union president and prefects have certain privileges and can openly skip some classes when they are busy, and the professors will not say anything.
The two journalist ladies brought by Mr. Crouch arrived at the school in Yeqi's car. Nadira who went to pick them up got off the car with a dark face. Noah, who was waiting at the gate of the castle, raised his eyebrows slightly. It became clear after noticing a certain reporter following behind Mr. Crouch.
It seems that the other party has recovered well and can come out to continue causing trouble in the school.
The reporter lady obviously noticed Noah. She was still dressed in gorgeous clothes today, with the same fake smile on her face as last time. She walked up to Noah and stretched out her hand to him: "We meet again, Lan. Mr. Nestor."
"Nice to see you again," Noah said without any expression, but did not shake hands, "Ms. Skeeter."
His gaze shifted slightly, and he directly passed the reporter with a frozen smile, and faced Mr. Crouch: "Welcome to Hogwarts again, Mr. Crouch. The professors are in class, Dumbledore The principal went to the Ministry of Magic in London, so this time we will show you around the school."
Mr. Crouch's eyes stayed on him for a few seconds and nodded: "I'm sorry to trouble you. Because of last year's Triwizard Tournament, Hogwarts is still very popular. Our purpose this time It’s just to show the excellence of Hogwarts to foreign countries.”
Because it is a winner's school, it is always accompanied by many curious people. In order to promote international wizard exchanges, they planned this visit and also brought "reliable" reporters. Although this reporter is extremely unpopular.
Nadira obviously also knew how disgusting this reporter was, and she adopted the same attitude as Noah, ignoring her if she could, and saying perfunctory words if she really couldn't. It is clear that this reporter is not welcome. But both the cheeky reporter and Mr. Crouch ignored this unpleasant atmosphere, and one man was still enthusiastically directing the camera-carrying man behind him.
The wizard continued to take pictures, and occasionally said a few words to Noah while carefully looking at various corners of the school.
Only the other male reporter felt the bad atmosphere. He was as uneasy as a quail and kept wiping the sweat from his face. Judging from his expression, he probably regretted that he agreed to the invitation and came here. This is not the atmosphere of visiting a school at all! ! ! especially……
He took a careful glance at Noah who was guiding Mr. Crouch, and swallowed subconsciously. When the underage wizard just turned his head and glanced over, his back was soaked in cold sweat, as if his whole body was covered in cold sweat. As if he had analyzed it thoroughly, the other party didn't look at him again after that, as if he was sure that he was not worth caring about.
Well, it's best not to pay attention to him, he's really just here to make a living!
The wizard behind was trembling. Noah did not pay much attention to him. Most of his eyes stayed on Mr. Crouch and Miss Skeeter, but the former was focused on the surroundings and did not notice him at all. This obscure gaze fell on him, and the latter was more willing to pursue his gaze than Noah, and gave him a most fake smile in return.
Nadira also looked at Skeeter alertly, as if she had seen some dangerous dark wizard, and she also noticed Skeeter's attention falling on Noah from time to time.
As the two of them walked into the auditorium, Nadira approached Noah and asked, "Has that reporter been staring at you?"
Noah heard the words and glanced at the backs of the three people: "Don't be too nervous, but don't take it lightly either."
Nadira nodded, and just as she was about to say something, she saw Noah's eyes falling on the quill in the reporter's hand, and at the same time, a low voice sounded in her ears: "Maybe we can find a way later. Take that manuscript with you."
After the interview or something is over...
Nadira gave Noah a surprised look, and then nodded decisively. Rather than not knowing how to arrange it in the newspaper, it is a better way to steal the other party's manuscript in advance.
The two student union presidents reached an agreement and entered the auditorium as if nothing had happened.
Okay, now let’s take a look at what purpose these distinguished guests have in coming to the school.
As the bell rang, the little wizards finally got out of class.
