"William is missing?"

Hoffa repeated Antonio's words.

"That's right. Let's... let's go together..."

Antonio hesitated and made two gestures with his hands.

"Going to what?"

Hoffa's face looked a little grim in the darkness.

"us......"

Antonio lowered his head. He had always been timid, and when he saw Hoffa's face dropped, he didn't dare to say anything further.

However, Taylor on the other side stood up. He coughed twice and said solemnly:

"We went to explore the prefect's bathroom together, but after entering, William never came out again. He disappeared."

Prefect takes a bath, explores?

Hoffa's eyes widened, these bastards actually went there!

Ravenclaw's prefect, Sherlock Bohan, is a girl! These guys sneaked into the female prefect's bathroom and actually lost one of them!

Seeing these two people looking uneasy, Hoffa was bored and had a headache. What kind of boring guys are these?

"Didn't come out? Maybe he fell into the pool."

"No..." Antonio waved his hands repeatedly, "We searched all over the bathroom and didn't see him come out."

"Maybe I can turn invisible and play with you."

Hoffa said calmly.

Antonio was stunned.

"William will not be invisible."

"We want you to help find it." Taylor whispered, "You are so powerful, you will definitely be able to find a way."

Hoffa was even more bored and said: "This kind of thing should be handled by the prefects and deans. You can go find Dumbledore. There is a curfew outside now."

"No." Antonio waved his hands repeatedly.

"If Dumbledore finds out, we are doomed. We might be expelled... Come over and look for it with us. Once you find it, forget it."

Antonio added in a pleading tone: "Let me beg you."

Seeing beads of sweat forming on the tip of Antonio's nose, Hoffa tightened his fingers on the sheets. This roommate was usually similar to Neville Longbottom. Except for his better memory, his personality was almost the same.

.

Taylor wanted to say something else, but Antonio quickly stopped him.

"Hoffa, as long as we find William, I swear, we will never do this kind of thing again."

Taylor immediately echoed: "Really, just this once, please help, Hoffa."

Hoffa murmured softly: "What does what you do have to do with me?"

But after saying that, he still stood up, expressionless:

"Lead the way."

Antonio and Taylor looked happy and quickly took out an old lantern from the bedside table, lit it and left the dormitory with Hoffa.

There were not many people in the school at night, and Antonio and Taylor tiptoed forward carrying an old lantern.

On the way to the prefect's shower room, Hoffa got a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

William made a bet with a Gryffindor student to see who could find the most precious treasure in the prefect's bathroom. After the Gryffindor student went in, he took out a silver candlestick. But when William went in, no one was there.

come out.

A group of people went in and searched for a long time but could not find it.

The Gryffindor students were frightened, thinking that stealing the candlestick caused an unknown curse, so they dispersed in a hurry. The bathroom was dark when no one was around, and Antonio and Taylor did not dare to explore too much, so they had to come to Hoffa.

help.

The prefect's bathroom was in front of the statue of Boris the Fool on the sixth floor. Antonio lay next to him and whispered, "Sweet Spiritual Melon."

The door creaked open, revealing the dark corridor behind, and there was no light in the bathroom.

"Let's... go in and look for it together?"

Antonio stood in the dark entrance, thinking of William's disappearance, and swallowed.

Taylor bumped into Antonio, and Antonio immediately stopped talking.

This small gesture did not escape Hoffa's eyes. He looked at the dark entrance and took the lantern from Antonio's hand.

"Don't go in, just let me know outside. If anyone comes, remember to go in and let me know."

Antonio was relieved, "Okay, okay."

Taylor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, quickly retreated to the statue, and looked around, looking serious.

Hoffa didn't care about his pretentious gesture and got into the bathroom with a lantern.

This place is actually similar to when Harry's Triwizard Tournament is coming in the future, with luxurious chandeliers and white marble floors.

It's just that the whole atmosphere is completely reversed. It's definitely not as warm as when Harry came to take a shower. The whole space is dark and there is no lighting. The outlines of the furnishings under the flickering light of the lanterns are like poor and lost souls.

.

Here, Hoffa feels like he is the only living creature in the world.

The lantern illuminates the wall.

The mermaid in the gold-plated frame quietly hid in the water after seeing Hoffa's figure.

Hoffa walked in front of the oil painting, looked at the mermaid with only half of his head exposed, and asked in a low voice:

"Has anyone been here before?"

The mermaid in the painting nodded.

"Where did he go?"

The mermaid glanced at Hoffa, said nothing, and disappeared into the frame with a plop. The strange look in his eyes made Hoffa feel a little nervous.

He touched the bottom of the marble bathtub. This bathroom had not been used for a long time, and there were only dried water stains on the bottom. There were also some golden hairs stuck to the bottom of the bathtub.

This is quite normal. This bath once belonged to Sherlock Bohan, who had long blond hair.

However, in addition to long hair, Hoffa also saw a few colorful feathers.

This feather is not stuck to the bottom, it is floating on the surface, very dry and very new. Feathers... Are there any birds here?

He picked up the feather and it felt like a parrot's tail feathers.

Parrot?

He held the lantern and looked around, but found nothing. There were no signs of fighting or tearing at the scene. He touched the faucet and pulled it twice, but it could only make a squeaking sound and no water came out. School

The house elf may have stopped the hot water supply to the prefect's bathroom after the prefect left.

Strange. Hoffa straightened up.

Although the entire bathhouse is well decorated, it is not the kind of erotic bathhouse in late ancient Rome. The area is limited. There is no space for hiding people inside.

Unless Antonio was deceiving him out of boredom, how could a living person like William disappear out of thin air?

He closed his eyes, opened the mental force field, and felt it for a moment. There was no residual magic power fluctuation.

It's not a prank, nor is it like hide and seek.

Where did that go?

After rubbing the strange tail feather on his hand, he walked out of the bathroom and returned to the corridor outside the prefect's bathroom.

He planned to ask Antonio and Taylor to see if he had missed any information.

But when Hoffa walked out of the bathroom, his roommate who was supposed to be waiting outside to look after him was nowhere to be seen.

Only the statue of Boris, the confused egg, was left, wearing gloves behind his back, with a blank expression, as if silently mocking himself.

"Antonio Taylor?"

He called twice in the dark corridor, but he could only hear his own echo, and no one answered.

He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

"Damn, bastard..."

Hoffa cursed secretly and actually left himself and ran away.

Could it be that he went back to sleep? There must be a limit to shamelessness.

He strode to the Ravenclaw common room, but when he returned to the common room, there was no Antonio or Taylor in the common room. When he entered the dormitory, there was no one there either.
