Chapter 127 Encounter

After casting the Silencing Charm and Disillusionment Charm on himself, Mike dragged his tired body out of the Room of Requirement.

As soon as Mike left, the door of the Room of Requirement automatically closed and turned into a wall again. The only light left on the eighth floor of Hogwarts also disappeared.

After standing there for a while, Mike walked towards the kitchen of Hogwarts after his eyes got used to the darkness.

The kitchen was not close to the eighth floor of Hogwarts. Mike walked slowly along the complex corridor in the castle. When he took a staircase that could move by itself to the hall on the first floor, Mike suddenly found a pair of eyes flashing green light in the dark corner.

Mike's heart was alarmed, and he held his breath. The wand in his hand was instantly aimed at the eyes.

The eyes moved silently in the darkness, gradually moving from the dark corner to the center of the hall illuminated by the moonlight.

A cat with messy fur appeared in Mike's sight with a standard cat walk. Under the moonlight, its green eyes turned sky blue again.

"It turned out to be Mrs. Norris." Mike thought so, and heaved a sigh of relief. The wand in his hand returned to the wand sheath, secretly thinking that he had sequelae after being messed with by the basilisk.

Mike turned sideways and carefully moved away from Mrs. Norris, trying to bypass it and continue to the kitchen.

However, Mrs. Norris seemed to have discovered something. She poked her head out and her nose kept moving as if she smelled something.

Seeing this, Mike's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Mrs. Norris's sense of smell to be so sensitive. Is this a cat or a dog?

Just as Mike was about to speed up and leave the hall, Filch's voice came from a distance.

"Mrs. Norris! Come here, it's time for supper. I've prepared your favorite dried fish for you."

Mrs. Norris seemed to understand Filch's words. Her drooping tail immediately started to wag, and she ran towards the direction of Filch's voice.

Mike took this opportunity to leave the hall. He

ran all the way until the entrance of the kitchen appeared in front of him. Mike's heart finally settled down. After Mrs. Norris's commotion, Mike's sleepy brain became much clearer.

Looking at the dark kitchen entrance, all kinds of delicacies emerged in Mike's mind, and the saliva in his mouth was secreted rapidly.

Swallowing his saliva, Mike quickened his pace and entered the cafeteria.

However, the scene in the kitchen at this moment surprised Mike.

The light in the kitchen was very bright, and Cedric was feasting alone beside a long table filled with all kinds of delicacies.

Cedric also noticed Mike and even forgot about the chicken leg he was biting. When their eyes met, the kitchen fell into silence.

"Are you here for supper too?" After a long time, Mike was the first to speak and break the somewhat weird atmosphere.

"Ah, you too?" Cedric took the chicken leg from his mouth and said.

"Yeah."

There was another silence, and the air was filled with an awkward atmosphere.

"Gu~"

Mike's stomach protested to Mike at an inappropriate time.

"Eat together? I can't finish it anyway." Cedric looked at the embarrassed look on Mike's face and asked tentatively.

"Okay!"

Mike didn't say anything polite to Cedric. He sat down at the long table and poured himself a glass of water. He tilted his head back and drank it before he started to eat the delicacies on the long table.

Cedric seemed to be not used to eating with Mike. He stopped eating the half-eaten chicken leg and wiped his mouth with the tablecloth beside him. He looked around and looked at a loss.

Of course, his look did not escape Mike's eyes. While drinking water again, Mike asked:

"Why are you eating here alone? Aren't there usually a group of people around you wherever you go?"

"It's always against the rules to sneak into the kitchen in the middle of the night. It's more convenient to be alone. Besides... I need to be alone for a while occasionally..." Cedric's voice became softer and softer, and Mike almost didn't hear it clearly at the end.

"I understand you. Anyone would feel uncomfortable being stared at all day. To be honest, your fans are too annoying." Mike chewed the food in his mouth and said incoherently.

"Sometimes I also find them annoying. My parents and friends have high hopes for me, so I have to be a model student. After so many years, I can't tell whether I am pretending to be a good child or I have really become a model student in their eyes." I don't know what happened, Cedric said, "It's just that in the dead of night, I always feel a little sad, just like now."

Mike didn't know how to respond to Cedric's words, and the atmosphere on the scene became even more depressing.

"Oh, by the way. There is a question I wanted to ask you. When you go to the toilet, do your fans follow you?" Mike had no choice but to change the subject. "I heard from my friend that only gays go to the toilet together. You are not..."

"No! Don't talk nonsense!" Cedric denied it hastily.

Mike found Cedric's panic very funny, so he laughed. Cedric seemed to think that he looked a little silly and laughed too.

The tense atmosphere between the two of them eased.

Mike was out of breath from laughing. After he had calmed down, he sincerely said to Cedric, "I'm sorry. I used such a dangerous spell on the stage that day."

"It's okay. Professor Flitwick was in the audience at the time. You and I both know that he won't sit back and watch us get into danger." Cedric didn't seem to expect Mike to apologize for this. He was surprised. It took him a while to react and said with a smile, "But your spell is really powerful, but it's not easy to control."

"No, no, your Transfiguration is amazing. I can't do anything to you." Mike saw that the topic had turned into his most familiar business bragging, and he skillfully continued Cedric's words.

"My Transfiguration is amazing, right? You look like you stayed up all night. You must have been tortured by this matter and couldn't sleep, right?" Seeing that Mike mentioned his Transfiguration, Cedric's face showed a rare smug look, and he asked cunningly, "I dare say that my current Transfiguration level is definitely the best among all the students in school. Even most of the graduates are not as good as me. Do you know why?"

I was so stupid. I posted the chapter in the wrong place. Now I haven't changed the chapter name because I don't have the permission, but the chapter content has been changed back. I'm sorry.
