At Hogwarts nights, students' night tours are a very common situation.

Especially Gryffindor, where Little Lion sneaks out of the common room almost every night after lights off, George and Fred are examples of it.

Administrator Filch would take his cat and go back and forth in the school with an oil lamp every day. Once a student is caught by him, he will deduct points on the spot.

As a squin who cannot cast spells, Felch felt twisted jealousy for the little wizards.

If Dumbledore had not explicitly banned corporal punishment, Felch would have done even more overdoing after catching the night-distance student.

"Meow!"

When passing by a corner, a cat named Mrs. Loris next to Felch suddenly made a sharp scream.

"who?!"

Felch immediately turned the oil lamp in the direction Mrs. Loris was watching, and a dark shadow that was not easy to detect quickly passed through the light.

The cat's night vision ability is much better than that of a human. Felch did not see the whereabouts of the shadow, but Mrs. Loris rushed out first and hung behind the shadow to guide Felch.

Felch was already old and in a bad state. He started to breathe after only a few steps. Soon he lost his shadow and Mrs. Loris could only return to his master unwillingly.

"Suck~"

While gasping against the inner wall of the castle, Felch unexpectedly smelled a very light smell of earth on the route the black shadow passed.

"earth?"

Just as Felch squatted down to check the source of the smell, a person suddenly came out of the corridor opposite to the direction of the black shadow's escape.

"hiss!"

Lady Loris, who had not relaxed her vigilance, bent her body, and all the dark gray hairs on her body exploded, as if she could attack at any time.

However, with Mrs. Loris's skinny body, any student in any grade can kick it far away with no deterrence.

"Meow?"

Seeing the appearance of the visitor clearly, the furious Mrs. Loris suddenly withdrew her guard and instead approached the visitor happily.

"Mrs. Loris! There is danger, don't..."

“Meow~”

Seeing Mrs. Loris rubbing her head against the person's legs with a flattering look, Felch's expression was a little constipated.

This familiar scene made him guess the identity of the visitor.

"...Professor Xin, you are still patrolling the school so late?"

It was Xin Sheng who walked out of the corridor. As for Mrs. Loris's intimate attitude of abandoning her master and running over to act coquettishly, it was obviously Xin Sheng's animal affinity at work.

And this is not the first time.

Although Felch felt a sense of arguing about being in front of the tauren, because of his squint identity, he always felt a strong sense of inferiority when facing the professor at Hogwarts and did not dare to protest in front of Xin Sheng.

Although Felch's words were very cautious, Xin Sheng still heard the dissatisfaction in his words.

"I'm not on inspection, I'm just planning to find a reference book in the forbidden book area. Are there any problems?"

Xin Sheng has no good feelings or dislikes towards Felch.

There must be something hateful about a poor person, and this is his view of Felch.

"No, of course not."

Felch smiled stiffly and dryly: "But just now, I discovered an unknown black shadow, maybe a student slipped out of bed and traveled overnight."

‘Student? Heh~’

Xin Sheng's sense of smell was much more sensitive than Felch. He had long since smelled the abnormal smell left by the black shadows that disappeared in the corridor.

In addition to the fishy smell of Felchi, Xin Sheng also vaguely captured a little familiar smell of rotten body.

‘Qillow.’

The two souls share one, and Quirrell's body will definitely not be able to bear it for a long time.

Voldemort didn't want to continue to maintain this restricted weak state, and would definitely find a way to restore his strength as soon as possible.

‘Forbidden forest, a unicorn?’

Unicorns are holy creatures. According to legend, drinking their blood can greatly enhance human physical strength.

But at the same time, those who drink unicorn blood will be cursed, and their souls are engraved with dark marks of shame and cannot touch other pure souls.

Voldemort is now nothing, and a mere curse cannot stop him from regaining his ambition to strength.

Besides, it was Quirrell who was cursed after drinking the blood of the unicorn, but Voldemort who got the benefit, which was a sure profit.

Xin Sheng did not smell the bloody smell from where Qilu passed, and he probably hadn't successfully found the unicorn.

He grabbed Mrs. Loris from her feet, and Xin Sheng skillfully grabbed the back and neck a few times.

“Meow~”

Mrs. Loris, who was very thin, narrowed her eyes and made a pleasant cry, and Xin Sheng took the opportunity to put it back into Felch's hand.

"Since there are students on a night outing, you don't have to accompany me here, continue patrolling."

Felch nodded and bowed to watch Xin Sheng leave: "Yes, yes, Professor Xin walks slowly."

After walking a corner, Xin Sheng confirmed that Felch could no longer see him, so he came to the window open to the outside and released Pegass from the beast railing ring.

"Shh~"

Before Pegas made a scream, Xin Sheng raised his finger in front of his mouth, indicating that it would remain quiet.

"Puff~"

Pegas sniffed in understanding and arched Xin Sheng's chest intimately.

"Pegas, I need you to help me monitor the forest recently."

Xin Sheng gently stroked Pegas's mane with his hands and whispered solemnly: "Once someone tries to hunt a unicorn, use your talent to warn the sky as soon as possible, and I or other professors will arrive as quickly as possible."

Watching Pegas flap his wings silently flying towards the Forbidden Forest, Xin Sheng suddenly felt a gaze behind him paying attention to him.

His eyes turned sharply, and what appeared in Xin Sheng's eyes was an old man with a hunched body.

‘Gellert Grindelwald.’

Xin Sheng smiled calmly on the surface and nodded to the other party: "Old Green, are you not asleep yet?"

"Ahem~"

Grindelwald coughed twice: "The elderly don't have that much sleepiness, they will always wake up from their dreams soon."

"It's so late, is Professor Xin going out for a walk and bathing in the moonlight?"

'moonlight……'

Xin Sheng glanced out the window and found that it was cloudy today, and there was almost no light in the sky at night.

“Haha~”

Xin Sheng ignored Grindelwald's sarcasm and responded with a gentle smile on his face: "That's not, I just came out to catch the mouse, but unfortunately he still let him escape."

"oh?"

Grindelwald lowered his head and chuckled: "It's good to catch mice, it's good to catch mice, cough cough~"

The hunched ex-Dark King slowly turned around and walked into the darkness, his voice continued to come from the dark corridor.

"This castle is good, with energetic students, professors with unique skills, and the four colleges also maintain a healthy competition to promote each other. Unfortunately... there are a lot of mice, so this year it will be a little uneasy."
