Professor, you looked at me...

black.

pitch black.

Total darkness.

Rex turned his head and looked around in the dark, and after confirming that he couldn't see anything, he stretched out a finger, and a little starlight appeared on his fingertips, illuminating the distance of half a meter around him. .

There is nothing on the ninth floor, surrounded by dusty stone walls, making people puzzled.

Rex carefully checked his surroundings again, and after making sure that he couldn't find any clues, he straightened up and looked at the dark road before and after, feeling a little worried——

Which side should I go?

Rex tilted his head and thought about it, and finally decided to let fate decide this issue!

then……

Rex extinguished the light on his fingers, and quickly turned around a few times on the spot.

……

When he finally stopped, he was facing an empty corridor.

"Hmm..." Rex stretched out his hands to support his head—otherwise he would feel that his head was about to fall off—and stared at the front in confusion. It took a long time before he remembered why he was turning around, "Then Just go this way...it's the same anyway..."

After speaking, Rex walked forward in a daze, forgetting to get the light on his face and fingers out.But it was also because of this that Rex was walking...and bumped into...something.

"What the hell? Is it the end?" Rex covered his sore forehead with one hand, and subconsciously reached out to touch the "wall" in front of him with the other.

But unexpectedly, what his hand touched was not the hard and cold touch of the stone wall, but the cloth.

"Huh?" Rex touched the "wall" in front of him again, and he could even feel the "wall" trembling slightly when he touched it, as if it was breathing.

Rex's fingers paused, staying at the height of his face, feeling the real touch under his hand - the feeling of a heartbeat.

A weird idea formed in Rex's mind... He silently removed the hand that had just rubbed his forehead, slowly stretched it down, and then caught... a certain "bird".

A certain "wall" in the dark: "..."

"It's really a person!" Rex felt the feeling in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

"You know it's someone and you still don't let go?" The deep and cold voice sounded in front of Rex, with a feeling of gnashing of teeth.

"Huh?" Rex yelled in surprise when he heard the voice, and quickly raised his hand. A little starlight appeared on Rex's fingertips, illuminating the opposite "wall" and also illuminating Leix. Max's shocked expression, "You...how are you here?!"

"I should be the one asking you this sentence," "Wall"—that is, Snape—had an angry expression on his face, looking at Rex's eyes that could almost burst into flames, "Where should you be at this time?" ?!"

"...Anyway, you ignore me wherever I am." Rex silently stepped back three steps, squatted on the ground and silently drew circles with his bright fingers, "Woo...Sev, you big Bad guys... woo woo... ┭┮﹏┭┮"

A certain "bad guy": "..."

"Wuuuuuu...Sev, you don't comfort me anymore..." Rex continued to squat there and cry, "You have ignored me for more than a month...you are still ignoring me now...┭┮﹏ ┭┮"

"..." Snape stiffened his body and took two steps forward, looking at Rex who was squatting there and whimpering non-stop, with a tangled face, reached out and scratched his head as a comfort, "Stop crying."

"..." Rex raised his head silently, looking at Snape, "I'm not crying, Sev."

Snape: "..." You were whining there without crying! ? ==#

"Sev..." Rex pursed his lips, looked at Snape with teary eyes, and almost wrote "please touch" and "please" with a marker on his face.

"...What exactly do you want?" Snape looked at Rex squatting there in dismay, feeling his brain ache.

Rex reached out and grabbed the hem of Snape's robe, shook it silently, and said coquettishly, "I want you to kiss me."

"…………"

With a wave of his wand, Snape cut off his own robe, freed himself from Rex's grasp, and said blankly, "Get out of here, this is not where you should be."

"Then how did you get up, Sev?" Rex tilted his head and looked at Snape, "I blew up the roof and flew up... What about you?"

Snape raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully, "I have stayed in Hogwarts for more than 20 years, so I don't know where there are stairs in Hogwarts?"

"Where is the staircase?" Rex's eyes lit up, it would be easier if there were stairs, and it would be better than staying here alone to death.

"follow me."

Snape didn't talk nonsense, he turned around and walked forward with Rex.

Rex jumped up happily, rushed to grab Snape's sleeve, and extinguished the light on his fingertips, and the two walked in the dark like this.

……

"arrive."

After about a quarter of an hour, Rex noticed that Snape had stopped, so he stopped, and even stretched out his hand first to make a little light—no way, his current ability can only recover to this point. the point.

Snape looked at Rex's fingers meaningfully, paused, and asked, "How did you do it?"

"What?" Rex glanced at Snape, a little confused.

"This," Snape asked again, pointing at Rex's finger, "what is this?"

"My ability," Rex moved five fingers, and saw that the fingertips of the five fingers were all lit up, but the light from each finger was not as bright as just one finger, "It's too slow , if I can take a good rest, I can probably make my whole body light up."

"..." Snape inexplicably thought of a glowing walking object.

"Sev, what's the matter with you?" Rex looked at Snape's troubled face and couldn't help asking, "Are you uncomfortable?"

"No, I'm fine," Snape said, shaking his head, avoiding Rex's hand reaching out to touch his forehead, "the stairs are just ahead, go down."

Hearing this, Rex didn't bother about Snape's discomfort anymore, he shook his hands and combined the five bright spots into one, twisted it on the tip of his index finger, and walked forward to check the stairs.

……

The staircase was hidden in a dark corner, the color was exactly the same as the surrounding walls, if Snape hadn't pointed it out, Rex would have ignored it.

"Sev, how did you know this place?" Rex couldn't help but squatted down and reached out to touch the surface of the stairs—a layer of soil. "It doesn't look like people come here often."

"This is the secret of Hogwarts." The corners of Snape's mouth curled slightly, with a somewhat smug expression on his face, "Outsiders will never know how many secrets Hogwarts holds."

"What about you?" Rex turned to look at Snape, "Do you know how many secrets Hogwarts has?"

Snape choked and said angrily, "...I don't know either!"

"Oh, then I'm balanced." Rex smiled comfortably.

Snape: "... ==" Why does it feel like it's a drop in price?

"Okay," Rex stood up, stretched his waist, and said relaxedly, "After inspecting the stairs going downstairs, we're going to explore the stairs going upstairs now!"

"...Didn't you understand what I said?" Snape felt that the veins on his forehead must be throbbing, "I'll let you—get off!"

"I don't," Rex looked up at Snape innocently, "I'm going upstairs."

"……why?"

"Because someone came to me and told me that my friend was trapped on the eleventh floor," Rex said without hesitation to his teammate who didn't know who it was, "I'm going to rescue him."

"Who told you that?" Snape asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I don't know him," Rex said, "he's tall and looks strong, but because he's covered up tightly and has a hood on, I don't know if he's really strong or if he's covered. from."

"Where's the sound?" Snape asked again.

"Very hoarse," Rex replied without any pressure, "I don't know about the others."

Snape raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you afraid that the man is lying to you?"

"What can he lie to me?" Rex tilted his head, "Is it because of my appearance? Or because of my intelligence?"

Snape: "... ==" Are you okay with neither?

"Look," Rex spread his hands, "Since I don't have any of these two items, what else can he lie to me about?"

Snape: "..." Too... too self-aware.

"Sev, don't hesitate anymore, I'll go up and have a look," Rex showed a very innocent smile, "If it's too dangerous, I'll be the first to come down~"

"...I now believe that you are indeed a Slytherin," said Snape silently.Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages...don't be too obvious!

"So~" Rex stretched out his finger and looked at the surrounding area—but unfortunately, there is another staircase leading to the eighth floor, "Sev, let's go to the eleventh floor, with my current Ability Few people at Hogwarts are my opponents."

"Oh?" Snape finally seemed interested, "What are your abilities?"

"A lot," Rex shrugged. "It's mainly in eating, drinking and having fun. I'm a good hand!"

Snape covered his face silently: "..." How could he naively hope for this person?

"Huh?" Rex looked at Snape's face in surprise, "Sev, why is your face so ugly? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

……

Snape didn't answer, just turned and left.
