Kudo hesitated for a long time, but finally mustered up the courage to find Kaito Kuroba after Defense Against the Dark Arts class the next day.

Kuroba was cleaning up the podium when he saw Edogawa Conan hesitantly approaching him, he coughed a little out of tune, lowered his head and suppressed a smile, and asked politely: "Student Edogawa, what's the matter?" something?"

Kudo hesitated to speak while watching the busy Kuroba Kaito, without uttering a single syllable for a long time.

...Merlin, how should I ask this.

"Huh?" Hei Yu raised his eyebrows, stopped his movements, and looked at Ravenclaw who was a head shorter than himself and had flushed cheeks very tenderly, and a Hogwarts luxury express was already driving in his mind .

Damn, Kudo has become so cute, if this continues, he will do something worse than a beast!

Kudo turned his face away, naturally he didn't see Kuroba's wolf-like gaze, and said awkwardly: "...That's right, thank you professor for the gift. But I can't accept—"

Hei Yu interrupted him just in time, and asked innocently, "What gift?"

Kudo is angry.

The word on the package is not you Kaito Kuroba, I swallow the golden snitch alive!

...But he couldn't explain it that way, so he could only glared at Kaito Kuroba angrily.Hei Yu immediately showed a bright smile, and asked kindly: "Is there anything else, Conan?"

After a long silence, Kudo gritted his teeth and said, "It's all right, thank you professor."

Kuroba nodded happily, and stopped Kudo when he turned around to leave, and said kindly: "By the way, remember to come to make up lessons!"

"...Okay, Professor Kuroba."

Kuroba Kaito, I'll be the first to fuck you when I transform back.

Kudo thought grimly while nodding with a smile on his face.

As soon as he stepped out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, he was blocked in the corridor by several senior Ravenclaws.

Kudo silently took a small step back.

The seniors immediately took a big step forward, with a faint tendency to surround him, their eyes were fierce, and each of them was a head taller than themselves.

... What a bad day today.

Kudo coughed lightly, and said calmly, "Hello, what's the matter?"

"Are you Edogawa Conan?" One of the Ravenclaws narrowed his eyes and his voice was low.

Kudo thought to himself, if he really did it, he would definitely not be at a disadvantage, but it would be troublesome to explain to others how he knocked down these Ravenclaws at the same time... and Kuroba It's not far away, it would be bad to be seen through at that time... Hmm... Why don't you run away?

"It's me." He had already begun to rehearse how to escape quickly in his mind, while nodding his head, his right hand was already holding the wand in his robe pocket.

Saying that it was too late, Ravenclaw, the leader, stepped forward and held Kudo's hand, looked at him affectionately, and said quickly: "I heard that people in Gryffindor said that you reflect The nerves are great. I bought the latest Quidditch broom in the past two days. I must like the passionate sport of Quidditch! How about it? Are you interested in trying the Ravenclaw Quidditch team? Seeker?"

Kudo was about to throw a spell, so he quickly withdrew his hand, let go of the wand in his hand, and looked at the Ravenclaws who were looking at him eagerly.

"How about it! Edogawa-san! Join us, Ravenclaw needs you!"

"I--"

"Great! That's it! We have training every Monday, three, five and six afternoons, see you there!"

"..."

"Be there or be there!" the leader, Ravenclaw, repeated in a vibrating voice.

Kudo twitched the corner of his mouth: "...No, see you soon."

So the group of Ravenclaws left happily again, and before leaving, they didn't forget to shake Conan Edogawa's hand, so moved that they could cry immediately.

He trembled in horror, the scene of several tall boys weeping was so beautiful that he didn't dare to move, didn't dare to move.

He returned to the dormitory, stroked his chin and looked at Nimbus 1412 standing quietly beside his bed, and suddenly found a good reason for himself to use this gift from Kaito Kuroba.

Yes, it's all about Ravenclaw.It's okay to sacrifice a little ego and use something from an old enemy!

...What, you say Kudo Shinichi is bullying his juniors?

No, don't talk nonsense, bastard.

anyway--

The hour hand gradually passed twelve o'clock. After confirming that all the dormmates were asleep, Kudo skillfully cast a silent spell and a confusion spell on himself, turned over and got out of bed, and left the Ravenclaw tower lightly.The portraits, accustomed to the young Ravenclaw sneaking out every night, nodded and smiled at him.

Unknowingly, he has been in Hogwarts for more than a month. Apart from his normal class, he is naturally conducting his own investigation in private.Although he has only a vague range of candidates for the inner ghost, Kudo thinks that he can still find a way to restore the magic attached to himself as much as possible.He had read almost all the relevant books in the Hogwarts library in his spare time, but he still hadn't found the book he wanted.

From this point of view, he can only take the risk of sneaking into the forbidden book area that is not open to students, and pin his hopes on those difficult magic books.

Of course, it doesn't mean he can't enter the restricted area - the restricted area of ​​the Hogwarts library has always been open to Aurors, and there is even a fireplace connected to the Auror's office, as long as he signs a document that can prove his identity Magically signed, Aurors can freely browse books in the restricted area.However, considering that he is only a student now, if he wants to enter the restricted area unobtrusively, he can only sneak in in the middle of the night.

Kudo walked lightly along the empty corridor of Hogwarts along the wall, avoiding all the patrols skillfully, and stood at the door of the restricted area along the winding stone steps.

He finally checked that there was no one around, took a breath, and pulled out the cedar wand that he had been hiding all this time. The tip of the wand was driven by his wrist to draw a line of beautiful and chic signatures in the air. The top gushes out and falls one after another, and Shen becomes a group of names that are all too familiar.

Kudo Shinichi

The next moment, the golden light suddenly dispersed and formed another line of correct font.

Welcome, Chief Auror Kudo Shinichi.

Kudo lowered his hand, and his high-hanging heart finally eased a little.When the golden light dissipated, he stood with his hands behind his back, and the door of the restricted area with the gorgeous magic shadow pattern was silently opened for him, and the bright candlelight that had been lit all year round in the restricted area poured out, casting a shadow behind him. A long shadow.Kudo gathered his robe and stepped into the brightly lit book area, with candlelight flickering in his eyes.The heavy door closed quietly behind him, leaving the room full of silence.

Kudo held his wand and said a fluorescent flash.The soft and cold light overflowed from his wand, and condensed into a small round ball in the air, floating leisurely with Kudo.Kudo shuttled through the rows of bookshelves, looking for the books he wanted.

"The Application and Principles of Black Magic", "Advanced Use of Silent Magic", "Introduction to the Unforgivable Curse", "Introduction to White Magic", "On the Relativity and Similarity of Black and White Magic", "Hogwarts Defense Magic The principle and consolidation of "...

Kudo picked three books that he might need that he saw and put them in his pocket, and let out a sigh of relief.

Seems like there's a lot to see.Kudo thought sadly.It seems that I may have to come to the restricted area to borrow books often——

The sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in this silent environment.

Kudo was startled, and subconsciously took a step back, his back hit the bookshelf unexpectedly, making a dull impact sound.This kind of sound might not be heard in a library full of Hogwarts students on weekdays, but in the dead of night in the restricted area, it is almost like someone cast a loud spell, announcing that there are people here, and Kudo Everyone tensed up.There was a pause in the sound of footsteps, and it was obvious that he also heard Kudo's voice, and then the steady and leisurely footsteps turned into a fast sprint.

Kudo quickly glanced at the environment he was in, and was startled.

... This location happens to be at the end of a bookshelf, with the wall behind it.In short, he has nowhere to go.Confusion spells and silent spells are not invisibility techniques. If someone comes face to face with him, he can't escape the opponent's palm.As a student, it was too suspicious to be able to appear in the restricted area without triggering the alarm. If the person who came was the person who was in the forbidden forest at that time, he would be able to guess his identity in a short time, which would be bad— —

His eyes dimmed, and he tightened his grip on his wand.

How to do how to do?

Kudo Shinichi, think of a way, so you can't be exposed here!

Suddenly, his gaze landed on the bottom floor where no books were placed.

...That's right, he is now a 15-year-old body, plus he is already small in stature, with the confusion spell, as long as the other party doesn't squat down and have a look at him, maybe—

The footsteps were getting closer.

Kudo gritted his teeth, squatted down, and carefully retracted into the narrow gap that made him unable to move his whole body. He folded his hands on his knees and watched the aisle nervously with his face sideways, holding his breath. The sound of his heart beating was almost It was deafening.

A pair of boots walked slowly past his hiding place, and the long robe waved behind the visitor.The visitor saw no one here, turned around and left after a while.

Kudo breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, the boots appeared in front of him again, and stopped where he was.

His eyes widened, his pupils constricted, and his heart stopped beating at that moment.

Don't spot him, don't squat down.

It seemed like several hours had passed before Kudo finally heard the rustling sound of book covers rubbing against each other, and the visitor murmured thoughtfully, and then the visitor turned his heels and walked away slowly.

Kudo stayed in this cramped corner for a long time. After confirming that no one was there, he dared to get out carefully. His legs were a little numb after bending his knees for a long time. When he stood up, he had to hold on to the bookshelf to stabilize his body. type.But he didn't care about so much at the moment, and after confirming that he had got the books he wanted, he hurriedly left the restricted area.

It wasn't until Kudo took off his robe and got into his bed that he finally relaxed, but his head was full of thoughts.

Who is the person who visits the restricted area late at night?

Just by the man's groaning voice, he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, but if I remembered correctly before I left, someone came and took away the "Principles and Consolidation of Hogwarts Defense Magic", which he wanted to borrow. Most likely it was the hidden Death Eater.

Why is this person borrowing this book again?

Could there be some more plot against Hogwarts going on silently?

What happened to me that day?

Who is this person?

Full of doubts, Kudo closed his eyes, but his brows never relaxed.
