Chapter 56 The Strange Mouse

In fact, it is not only the raw food that is lost, but also some cooked food.

If it weren't for the house-elves being meticulous enough, and the lost food happened to contain the raw meat that Lacey had left on purpose, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to find.

The thief was very cautious. He stole several kinds of food, a little of each, and the time was random, which made it difficult for the house elves to determine when it was stolen.

This left the house-elves at a loss.

Noah nodded thoughtfully: "Have you told the professor?"

Lacey brought him some raw food, then wiped his tears with a dirty cloth: "Not yet."

The house-elves guessed at first that some young wizards were sneaking food in their absence, but raw meat was clearly not.

At this point, the house-elves were already planning to tell the professor about it.

"Maybe someone's pet made it." Noah touched Keya's scales subconsciously.

Lacey was taken aback for a moment before realizing: "The little wizard is right!"

Because what was thrown away was cooked food at the beginning, they didn't think much about it. Looking at it now, maybe someone's pet came to the kitchen to steal it!

"Damn thief!" Lacey clenched his fist angrily, expressing that he would definitely catch this hateful guy.

Noah returned to the auditorium after feeding Koya.

I don't know why, but when he mentioned the food thief just now, he always thought of the mouse from last night.

It's like a subconscious intuition.

Noah frowned, feeling a little puzzled by his unfounded intuition.

Forget it, anyway, this kind of thing has nothing to do with him.

But Keya didn't think so. After realizing that he lost a chicken because of the thief, Keya became restless.

That's a chicken! ! !

Although he prefers pigeon to chicken, that's not okay either!That's its meal! ! !

Koya almost eagerly urged Noah to investigate the matter, find the vile thief, and avenge his chicken.

Noah: "..."

Of course, Noah ruthlessly ignored its clamor, and he didn't know how this guy could confidently say such things as revenge for the chicken.

……

After eating, Noah resolutely nestled by the fireplace in the common room and read a book.

Although the lights were a little dim, it was warm in here.

Even Keya forgot the bold words that he wanted to avenge the chicken just now, and lay comfortably under his clothes, feeling the warmth of the fire.

The temperature has probably dropped a bit in the past two days, and the dungeon is extremely damp and cold. Although the dormitory seems to have been cast with some moisture-proof spells, it can't hinder the fact that it is already a little cold.

Recently, the limelight about Noah has been dominated by the selection of Quidditch, everyone is talking about related matters, and no one pays attention to how Noah is doing, and there are quite a few people staying in the waiting room.

Just like this moment.

After Noah made it clear that he needed to finish reading the book, Eve could only take the other Slytherins to watch Quidditch.

Although not very reconciled to it.

Noah was able to spend the morning reading most of the book.

Around noon, a Slytherin stormed into the common room angrily.

"Damn rat, don't let me catch it!"

Noah, who was interrupted, raised his head and glanced at him. It was a brown-haired guy. Noah had seen him before. He was called Hunter Colby if he remembered correctly during the club activities of the Glory Club.

At that time, this Slytherin was wearing an aristocratic smirk, his hair was sparse and meticulous, and even his robes were neat.

But at this moment, this guy looked a little embarrassed, his hair was a little messy, the corners of his robe were wrinkled, and there were even a lot of holes.

It seemed that he was in such a mess because of someone who had a dispute with him.

Oh, got into an argument with a mouse.

Colby growled a few times impolitely, realized that this was the common room, and quickly walked across the room to the dormitory.

The two Slytherins who came in behind him shrugged and did not follow.

They sat down on the couch opposite Noah, nodded to Noah, and discussed in a low voice: "Colby looks very angry."

"Being teased by a mouse or something, after all." A Slytherin smiled meaningfully.

"I don't know which college's pet that mouse is."

Slytherins rarely have a mouse, proud Slytherins prefer a cat or an owl.

"Gryffindor, I guess."

"That's right, only those guys have such nasty pets."

They skillfully dumped the blame on Gryffindor in a few words.

Noah was interested: "Excuse me, can you tell me what happened?"

The two Slytherins turned to look at him, and they exchanged glances, recognizing Noah.

Glancing at the door leading to the dormitory behind them, and confirming that the person involved would not come out immediately, the two Slytherins hesitated for a moment, and chose to tell Noah about it.

But they blurred some things, like how Colby was played by the mouse.

……

The three met the mouse on the steps coming down from the first floor.

It was a black guy, a little big, with a long tail trailing behind, which happened to block their way.

Originally, the mouse did not run away immediately when it saw them, but stared at the three of them carefully before slowly preparing to go down the stairs.

That kind of sight made the three feel very uncomfortable, and the grumpy Colby immediately showed a disgusted expression.

Although he didn't think a mouse could understand himself, Colby was swearing at the mouse at the time, cursing the dirty guy, and at the same time cursing a few house elves who couldn't even do a good job of cleaning , let a mouse get into the dungeon.

But unexpectedly, after he cursed a few words, the mouse turned around and rushed towards him.

Noah guessed that the guy even forgot to pull out his wand in a panic, and only had time to wave his hand, otherwise he wouldn't have left so many ripped marks on his sleeves.

In the end, the mouse fled the scene under the attack of the three, and soon disappeared into the shadows.

Listening to the description of the two, Noah probably guessed the process.

Mice... Normally mice would not attack people, even the pets of little wizards would not boldly attack little wizards.

For a moment Noah wanted to ask if what they saw was really a mouse and not a Mortla.

Motra rats are magical rodent animals that look like mice but have anemone-shaped tumors on their backs.If offended, the creature will bite hard on the offender's foot.

But it sounds more like a cat when it jumps up and hits its face...

Noah thought again of the mouse from last night.

Very good, now he thinks things are a bit difficult
