Wade didn't waste any ti on the way and headed straight back to the dormitory.
Although he was confident about wiping out that goblin camp tonight, Wade still needed to keep himself fully alert.
After all, his Nightmare Magic was closely tied to his ntal strength, and he never underestimated any opponent.
So, before night fell, he planned to get a proper rest.
He had no intention of using Invigoration Draughts, since the effect of those potions was gained by overdrawing the body's potential—just like Muggle coffee—and in the end, they still had side effects.
Since he could simply sleep to restore his energy, why bother with a potion? Besides, a single bottle of Invigoration Draught cost five Galleons!
Yeah.. Wade was stingy like that!
Wade, as usual, reinforced the Transfiguration on Nagini, who was coiled up at his bedside, and then prepared to rest.
Suddenly, a slip of parchnt was quickly pushed under the dormitory door.
With a flick of his hand, Wade summoned the parchnt into his grasp.
Saturday night, dormitory. Charles Prince, Anne Rosier. Be careful!
There was no signature on the parchnt, but Wade knew this was intelligence from André.
Although André had chosen to follow Wade, Wade had no intention of making this allegiance public just yet.
Instead, Wade had him continue hiding among those pure-blood students who were dissatisfied with him, acting as his informant.
Now, André's value was coming to light.
From the information on the parchnt, it was clear that on Saturday night, those people were planning to make a move on Charles and Anne in their dormitory.
"Hmm.."
This was actually expected. That group probably didn't dare to target Wade directly.
However, they did have the nerve to attack those close to him.
Within Wade's little team, Anne was in the girls' dormitory, and Charles in a separate dormitory as well.
Since the two of them weren't by Wade's side, they naturally beca targets.
"Looks like just scaring them a bit isn't nearly enough, huh? They need to learn what real pain feels like," Wade muttered to himself. His gaze appeared so devoid of any emotion that even Tom would shiver at the sight of him like this.
At the sa ti, the parchnt in his hand spontaneously caught fire without any wind, gradually turning to ash.
…
Night had deepened.
"It's ti.'
Lying in bed, Wade suddenly opened his eyes.
With the help of Nightmare Magic, he could fall asleep and wake up anyti, anywhere.
Moreover, since this was deep sleep, the rest his body received was the most complete kind.
So at this mont, Wade's physical and ntal state were both at their peak.
Wade slowly sat up from the bed.
He glanced at the others in the dormitory. At this ti, Alphard and Henry had already fallen into deep sleep.
The intense spell practice during the day had exhausted them.
As for Tom… Wade noticed his irregular breathing.
Clearly, this guy was only pretending to be asleep.
Heh~
However, Wade didn't expose him.
He could more or less understand so of Tom's thoughts.
Wade reached out toward the head of the bed, and Nagini, who had been coiled there, slithered onto his wrist, flicking her tongue.
Hisss~<
"Yeah, let's go."
In the next second, Wade's entire figure vanished like a ghost. With the ancient magic-enhanced Disillusionnt Charm, Wade beca completely invisible.
It wasn't until the dormitory door was gently opened and closed that Tom, lying sideways on his bed, realized that Wade had already left...
Tom turned over, looking at Wade's empty bed, his gaze flickering.
...
With the Disillusionnt Charm on, Wade moved like a ghost through the dark corridors of Hogwarts Castle.
After easily avoiding the patrolling professors, he didn't pause and went straight up to the 3rd floor of the castle.
Soon, he stopped in front of a person-height mirror.
He carefully examined the mirror before him.
Because of the Disillusionnt Charm, Wade couldn't see his own reflection in the glass.
He had to admit, the experience was quite novel.
After closely inspecting the mirror, Wade was certain he had found the right place.
Because he noticed so strange traces of magic around the top of the mirror...
Normally, only secret doors would have such characteristics.
In other words...
Wade lightly tapped the mirror's surface along the magical traces with his wand.
The next second, the entire mirror suddenly swung open to the side like a door.
A smile spread across Wade's face.
He rembered from the original records that behind one of the mirrors on the fourth floor, there was a secret passage leading to Hogsade Village.
Now it seed this was the one.
Co to think of it, aside from the ti he had tailed Anne, this was Wade's first ti sneaking out of Hogwarts alone.
The passageway was pitch dark, but under Wade's Eagle Eye spell, he could see everything clearly.
The passage was long. When Wade finally erged from the exit, he found himself beneath the bridge at the entrance to Hogsade Village...
"So this is where it leads... I wonder who built these secret tunnels, and for what purpose... Could it be to make it easier for students to explore at night? If that's the case, I'd bet these passages were set up by Gryffindor."
While speculating to himself, Wade closed the entrance of the secret passage once more.
Hogsade was well outside the range of Hogwarts' Anti-Apparition enchantnts.
Wade glanced around. After making sure no one was nearby, he disapparated from the spot.
Not long after Wade left, that hidden door quietly shifted again...
...
In the Forbidden Forest, Wade had already removed his Disillusionnt Charm.
At the mont, he was wrapped in a large black cloak, swiftly weaving through the depths of the forest.
The route was firmly imprinted in his mind; even with his eyes closed, he could still find the location of the goblin camp.
Very soon, he saw the glow of firelight in the distance.
It was a simple camp.
Strictly speaking, aside from a few hastily erected fences, the only structure at the center of the camp was a large tent.
Without a doubt, that was an enchanted tent with an Undetectable Extension Charm.
The space inside was definitely far larger than it appeared from the outside.
However, if the goblins hadn't called for reinforcents tonight, Wade already had a clear idea of how many goblins were inside.
Wade tightened his cloak, drew out an old, battered wand, and slowly walked toward the camp.
As he moved, a white mist from his Nightmare Magic began to seep from the tip of his wand...
Although there were quite a few goblins inside the camp, Wade's Nightmare Magic wasn't enough to cover them all completely.
However, if it was only to pull the goblins patrolling outside the tent into the dreamscape, that was still manageable.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
As Wade stepped through the camp's entrance, the goblins stationed outside the tent all collapsed to the ground.
Nightmare Magic could drag people into illusions, but of course, it could also kill silently and without a trace...
By the ti Wade reached the entrance of the tent, all the goblins outside had stopped breathing.
Judging from the looks of sheer terror frozen on their faces, they had all been scared to death!
