Chapter 10 10: Special Instructor

For the next few days, Kudo didn't think about eating and drinking. Apart from hiding in the dormitory and reading books every day, he was excluding the professors in the school one by one.

-Students are definitely not possible.

The fact that the man he met that night had entered the restricted section without sounding any alarms meant that it wasn't necessarily a teacher.The fireplace connected to the Auror's office showed no signs of being used, so it must be some professor...

But who will it be.

While eating, Kudo sighed with a sad face, and the feeling of being clueless made him feel extremely anxious.

"Have you been in a bad mood recently?" His roommate Sam nudged Edogawa Conan, who was sitting next to him, shaking a spoon aimlessly, and asked in a low voice, "It's about the Quidditch team." ?”

Kudo shook his head and looked at the blond boy: "No. Why do you say that?"

Sam shrugged his shoulders: "You've been weird recently, after you became a Seeker in our academy. Isn't there a lot of training pressure? You still have so many make-up lessons..." He looked at his face with worry and awe. roommate.

Kudo laughed: "It's better to say that Quidditch provides me with a way to relax. Speaking of which, do you have time to play Quidditch together? I heard that you are also very good, but it's a pity that you didn't join the Quidditch team. "

Sam waved his hand: "Not very good, just play casually. The training intensity is too high for me. But it's okay to play together, this afternoon?"

Kudo thought about it for a while. There should be nothing to do in the afternoon, so he nodded and was about to respond. Sam suddenly said "Ah!" and slapped his head: "No, no, not this afternoon. I heard that there is a special lecturer coming to our school The lecture, about Auror, seems to introduce the Auror office and so on, and there will be a question and answer session. Are you interested in going together?"

Kudo groaned noncommittally, picked up the cup and took a sip of juice to cover up his embarrassment.

...He is an Auror, or the chief Auror, let alone asking questions, his fellow Aurors will come to him if they have any questions, is there anyone who knows more about the operation of the Auror office than him?

No.

But under Sam's eager gaze, the soft-hearted Kudo Shinichi backed down, and finally sat in the corner of the trapezoidal classroom with Sam.

That's all, just treat it as a work inspection.

When Kudo thought about it, he was suddenly full of anticipation for this lecture, and stood upright in a classroom full of people, waiting for the special lecturer to arrive.

"——Ah! I'm sorry, I have something to deal with at the last minute and it took a while. Everyone has been waiting for a long time. The protagonist is always the last one to appear on the scene." Before the figure appeared, a hearty voice came first. come over.There was a burst of laughter from the Gryffindors, and even Sam, sitting next to him, laughed.When Kudo heard the voice, his expression froze suddenly.

...No, no.

A man in a black suit and tie with healthy wheat-colored skin hurried up to the podium, showed his white teeth to the packed audience, and waved his hands with a smile.

The corner of Kudo Shinichi's mouth twitched, regretting so much that his intestines turned green.

If there is anyone in this world who can recognize his identity in the shortest time, except for Kaito Kuroba who knows him very well for some reason, it is the one who grew up with him since childhood, a person named——

"I'm Hattori Heiji, and I'm going to introduce you to the profession of Auror today." The man loosened his tie and winked at the wizards below.

——Yes, that’s right, a man named Hattori Heiji.

Kudo sat unrequitedly next to Sam who was looking at Hattori Heiji eagerly, and couldn't find words to describe his mood.

If sight could kill, he'd already slapped his buddy hard.

Hattori Heiji, please ask your conscience, are you not busy?

I'm gone in the Auror's office, and Kaito Kuroba has left his burden to go to Hogwarts to teach. You're the busiest person!Why do you still have time to come to Hogwarts to give a lecture?Um?Are there not enough Death Eater riots or are you drifting?The Ministry of Magic doesn't care!What's up with one and two all going to Hogwarts?

The more Kudo Shinichi thought about it, the angrier he became, he wanted to go up and grab the other party by the collar and ask him if he had achnatherum splendens in his head. It doesn't matter if Kuroba is crazy, but you, the always reliable Hattori, are also crazy.

He propped his chin and thought about his own affairs, naturally he didn't notice that when Hattori Heiji looked around the audience, his eyes fell on him a little longer than others, and a trace of inquiry flashed in his dark green eyes.

The lecture quickly entered the question-and-answer period.The questions were very common and direct, and Hattori also answered the questions of his juniors with ease, and the concise and witty answers caused bursts of laughter.Until a Hufflepuff girl raised her hand and asked in a moderate voice: "It's been almost two months since the previous incident, but I heard that your company has not elected a new chief Auror, Is there something else going on after this incident?"

Kudo twitched his eyebrows because of the sharp and overly sensitive question of the Hufflepuff girl, and subconsciously looked at Hattori, unexpectedly meeting Hattori's gaze.

……

He quickly lowered his head to avoid his gaze, but clearly saw Hattori's mouth raised a small arc.

Hattori coughed lightly: "Well...is this a secret?"

The Hufflepuff girl sighed in disappointment.

"But it's not impossible to tell you. The chief Auror is now Kudo Shinichi, because there is no suitable candidate to take over this position. Maybe there will be one after a while, who knows?" Hattori replied with a smile, However, his eyes always fell on the Ravenclaw who was sitting in the corner pretending to be an ostrich and wished to become air. The worries of the past two months had all turned into the joy and small resentment of regaining the loss.

Although it is a bit unbelievable, that guy must be Kudo.

It can be called a man's sixth sense, or something like that, but Hattori Heiji can be sure that that look belongs to Kudo.In addition to the rumors that Kaito Kuroba has been looking for trouble for a mysterious Ravenclaw freshman at Hogwarts recently, think about the time when Kudo disappeared-he never believes that Kudo died, this The time when Ravenclaw appeared and what he saw with his own eyes, he wanted to catch this Ravenclaw now and ask clearly.

The Hufflepuff girl seemed to want to continue asking, but Hattori raised her hand and said kindly: "It's getting late, so let's stop here today. If you have any questions, you can always send Your owls write to the Auror office."

Hearing this, Kudo immediately leaned over and whispered to Sam who was sitting next to him and wanted to find Hattori: "Hey, Sam, I'll go back first, I still have some books to read..."

"Ah? Is that so, then you go back first. See you tonight." Sam immediately nodded in agreement, and ran to the edge of the podium without looking back.

"See you tonight." Kudo couldn't help but feel a little grateful for the enthusiasm of these brats for the Aurors, and immediately surrounded Hattori three floors outside, giving himself a chance to escape quickly.

——No matter whether my best friend recognizes me or not, he always runs away first!

I can't beat it, but I don't know how to explain it, can't he slip away!

...and then, obviously, he failed.

He stared at Heiji Hattori, his hands in his pockets, leaning against the entrance to the Ravenclaw common room, smiling softly at him, and gasped for breath.

He, how did he—

"You forgot, when I was at Hogwarts, I took you to sneak out after the curfew at Hogwarts. Who else is more familiar with the secret passages of Hogwarts than me?" As if seeing Kudo's question, Hattori explained carelessly.

Kudo took a step back, holding the book on his chest, and innocently asked with his big watery eyes: "What? Uh, Mr. Hattori, why are you here..."

"Edogawa Conan, what a good name."

Hattori straightened up, walked towards his friend slowly, with a serious smile: "Others only know that your favorite author is Conan Doyle, but I didn't know that you also like Edogawa Ranpo? You Think I'm stupid, huh? Okay, you pretend, keep pretending."

Kudo shook his head and backed away, wanting to cry: "I don't understand what you are talking about—" His back slammed into the wall, and he could only watch helplessly as his long-time friend approached step by step, his gaze As if to cut him into pieces.

"Wait! Cold, calm down, Hattori—"

In the next second, Kudo was hugged tightly by a pair of powerful arms, which was so strong that he even ached.Kudo blinked, but lost his words at this moment.He wondered, a little confused, why Hattori was shaking.

Hattori lowered his head, resting his chin on the shoulder of the skinny black-haired young man. Due to the height difference, this hugging posture seemed a bit awkward.However, the voice of the man who was talking and laughing just now was trembling, and he sighed in a volume that only they could hear: "It's great that you're still alive, Kudo."

"..."

"You're in trouble, Kudo." Hattori continued in a low voice, "There's something wrong with the Ministry of Magic."

"...Well." Kudo thought for a long time, and finally he could only sigh softly, and he stopped pretending, with a helpless tone, "Hatori, don't get involved. This is simply a mess."

Hattori snorted softly, finally let go of Kudo's hugging hand, crossed his arms and said arrogantly: "Aren't you Edogawa Conan, you can control me?"

"... Hattori." Kudo glared at his friend angrily, and then Hattori laughed.

They sat on the soft sofa in the Room of Requirement, enjoyed steaming black tea, and sighed contentedly at the same time,

Hattori put down the porcelain cup, looked at the handsome young man who was stuck on the sofa, and said in amazement: "If I didn't know you too well, you really wouldn't be able to tell that you are the famous Kudo Shinichi."

Kudo rolled his eyes: "Nonsense, otherwise I can sit here and drink tea with you?"

Hattori laughed, and then restrained the cynical expression on his face: "By the way, Kudo, I have found out a lot of interesting things in the past two months..."

They talked for a long time in the warm Room of Response, until the curfew was approaching, they finally finished exchanging the information collected by the two of them, their expressions were a little dignified.

"Things are really tricky." Kudo said with a frown, rubbing his index finger on his chin. "It seems that both the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts have infiltrated members of this mysterious organization..."

Hattori patted Kudo on the shoulder: "Don't worry about the Aurors for the time being, you can leave it to me first. I will let you know if there is any news."

Only then did Kudo show his first smile of the night: "Thank you, Hattori."

Hattori hammered Kudo's shoulder angrily: "Come on, you haven't given me any news for so long. If I didn't come to you, wouldn't you plan to tell me?"

Kudo coughed forcefully, and immediately pretended to look at the scenery.

Hattori sighed softly: "Anyway...you take care of yourself, um, be careful." He paused, suddenly thought of something, and narrowed his eyes, "Does that guy Kuroba know about you?"

"Ah?" Kudo blinked, and shook his head hesitantly after two seconds, "I probably don't know."

"Should?" Hattori raised an eyebrow.

Kudo thought of Kuroba, the way he patiently lectured for himself, the anxious expression after he was injured, and the unknown light wheel 1412... For some reason, his cheeks felt a little hot, and he quickly nodded to confirm: " he does not know."

Hattori snorted softly: "Will that guy..."

"No." Kudo replied subconsciously, his tone was so decisive that he didn't realize it.

Hattori looked at Kudo in surprise.

Only then did Kudo realize what he had said, his ears started to burn, he turned his face away and said in embarrassment: "I...I believe him."

He fell off at the speed of light in front of Hattori, he is indeed Kudo's best friend x

Kuroba: There are lemon fruit on the lemon tree, and there is only me under the lemon tree.It's okay if Kudo doesn't want to tell me his identity. I don't have a role in this chapter yet, it's too disgusting.
