Chapter 905 Business and Socializing

"...Oh, Professor Snape, you are finally here!"

While Mrs. Maggie hurriedly helped Freya, who was collapsed beside the seat in the stands, she looked around at the violent little Gryffindor wizards with a livid face, her eyes blazing with vicious anger.

"Simply lawless! Lawless - this kind of blatant drawing of wands to attack others, or a few people besieging... Hogwarts must deal with this situation seriously and expel them! These violent, brutal, rude students are simply -"

"Did you really just say that? I mean, Mudblood."

Snape raised his palm, interrupting Madam Marge's angry roar, and asked softly.

The Slytherin Headmaster's voice was exceptionally calm, like the deep sea on the eve of a rainstorm.

"Maybe. Maybe my choice of words was inappropriate when I was emotional, but everyone saw the actions of those little wizards with their own eyes. They attacked from behind in an extremely despicable way. I have never seen such despicable and shameless actions. ——”

"I see."

Snape's eyebrows furrowed tightly and he glanced at the young wizards around him.

"Charlie Weasley, and the people who just made the move, you go directly to Professor McGonagall's office and wait - I will tell your dean the situation here and let her handle it. As for the others, you can now gone."

"They just attacked me! In front of everyone!"

Madam Maggie stood stunned for two seconds, stared at Snape in disbelief, and screamed.

"Expelled! This terrible situation requires expulsion!"

"This is an undeniable fact, madam. I believe Professor McGonagall will deal with it seriously——"

Snape waved his right hand and said impatiently.

"But they are students of Gryffindor House. This kind of serious violation of discipline should be held responsible by their dean. Okay, Miss Freya, come with me. I will send you to the school infirmary for a checkup first. Mrs. Maggie will come with me." Well, I heard that you were knocked to the ground directly by Weasley's curse just now. Madam Pomfrey is very experienced in dealing with curse scars..."

"I was beaten! Despicable sneak attack!"

Mrs. Maggie roared angrily.

"If you think there is something wrong with my way of handling it, Hogwarts has another more direct way..."

Snape frowned and said calmly, "As a formal professor, I can serve as a witness to the duel - given your identity as the victim, I allow you to make an exception and challenge the wizard who just attacked you to a duel. Bill Way Sly, you will stay for now. If Mrs. Maggie intends to follow this method of counterattack, you must accept it..."

"Uh, um, okay."

Bill shrugged helplessly, took out his wand, and looked at the middle-aged witch with gloomy and vicious eyes.

In Hogwarts, when students have conflicts with seniors or peers, if mediation by professors fails, they can use "fair duels" to resolve conflicts - this is the birth of last year's "Potion Level" New rules appear later.

However, this is not a pleasant choice for Mrs. Maggie.

She stood there for a moment, her eyes wandering away from the tall and muscular Bill. Charlie clearly saw her right hand twitching, as if she wanted to take out her wand, but Mrs. Maggie restrained herself.

"...I haven't fallen to the point of fighting such a savage brat. Let's go to the infirmary first—"

She glared at Bill and the red-haired people surrounding him for the last time. She took her daughter's hand and hurriedly left the stand in the direction pointed by Snape. The three of them quickly disappeared among the Gryffindors. In sight.

"It's really incredible!"

Fred said in a voice that sounded like Christmas had come early, looking around at his brothers and sisters.

"How could Snape be so kind? I almost thought that the person just now was Professor McGonagall in disguise, but nothing happened to us! I was even prepared to be imprisoned for half a semester..."

"But you still have to go to Professor McGonagall's office, Fred."

Percy's expression was still serious, and he obviously didn't think it was funny. He said it very seriously.

"I'll write to Mum when I get back to the castle later and tell her what happened - you two took Ginny with you to fight, and you, Bill, what you just did was really reckless - —”

"Wait, what do you mean the two of them brought me into a fight?"

Ginny rushed out with some dissatisfaction, stamped her feet, and protested loudly.

"I obviously recited the curse before them! Right, Luna? You were flying next to me just now. Tell me, did George and Fred follow closely after I recited the curse first? Pull out your wand and cast a spell?"

"...This is not something to be proud of! All of you come with me to Professor McGonagall's office!"

Percy looked furious and his voice rose above Ginny's.

He puffed up his chest hard, wishing he could put the shining prefect badge on his chest into the eyes of his younger brothers and sisters.

After a while, Percy escorted a group of "Weasley's" troublemakers away.

"Professor McGonagall won't fire them, right? Should we go along and explain--"

Hermione, who didn't know why, looked worriedly in the direction where the Weasleys were leaving.

"Don't worry, it's just a formality."

Elena shook her head boredly and whispered with some regret.

"If Bill hadn't taken action first, that old woman would have dared to call you a 'mudblood' in public. Even if you took out your wand and blew her to pieces, you would still have room to defend yourself in the wizard's court... It's a pity that Bill's attack was too harsh. Soon--"

"But I don't know what that means. Of course, I can tell it's very rude—"

"It's not just rude, it's almost the most vicious description in the wizarding world."

At this moment, Irina suddenly interrupted and said.

Following Ginny, they landed on the edge of the Gryffindor stand fence.

Taking advantage of the time just now, I just got a rough idea of ​​the whole conflict from the little wizards around me.

"Mudblood (mudblood), this is a slanderous and vicious name for Muggle-born people-that is, those whose parents do not know magic. Some wizards, like Mrs. Maggie, always feel that they are better than others People are superior because they are so-called purebreds - they think Muggle blood is like a dirty lower species, a very unpleasant name."

Irina frowned and continued with a gloomy expression.

"It means dirty, inferior blood. If I were here just now, I would definitely recite the curse-"

"Okay, don't think about these unhappy things..."

At this moment, Elena gently clapped her palms and said loudly.

"To celebrate today's victory, a celebration banquet has been prepared in the Gryffindor House lounge."

"Then, I thought about it and discussed it with Professor McGonagall on my own initiative. I simply asked the kitchen to prepare an extra batch of dishes, and directly combined the freshman team's celebration banquet with Gryffindor's. "

"At that time, all students in Hogwarts are welcome to come to the Gryffindor lounge to attend the banquet. It will be treated as a college party..."

"Eh? Where is Hufflepuff House..."

Luna was stunned, and suddenly asked a little abruptly.

"I guess there will be a few people coming, at least Hannah will definitely come, but don't expect too much in terms of the number of people-"

Elena seemed to have guessed the reason for Luna's question and answered quickly while blinking.

"Besides, Gryffindor House's common room can't accommodate that many people. On the other hand, Slytherin probably won't have too many people coming. Although it's for the whole school, it's mainly for Ravenclaw. With Gryffindor."

"Ravenclaw? Why would Ravenclaw..."

"Count yourselves, except for Ginny, Irina, and head coach Hermione, aren't the rest of the players on the freshman team all from Ravenclaw? Now they almost regard you as a 'promising future' Ravenclaw Team Crow' looked at it."

Elena said with a strange expression, and glanced meaningfully at Hermione, whose eyes were still swollen.

"What do you think, Coach Granger?"

In fact, the relationship between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor has been delicate since last year's Potato War.

Especially within Ravenclaw House, the attitude of boys such as Roger Davis towards Gryffindor House began to become increasingly yin and yang and indifferent, but the girls showed a very twisted contradiction. state.

Many little witches in Ravenclaw, while despising Gryffindor's careless and straight men, feel comfortable squeezing those boys who have already exceeded the limited time of the "sale contract"——

For example, paying for the Couples Cafe in Hogsmeade Village, or passing the time when you are lonely at night, or holding hands and hugging when your hands are cold...

On the other hand, after learning that Ravenclaw was going to join the fellowship, the most positive ones were the Gryffindor players.

Even Harry, who has always been shy, inadvertently asked Elena in a low voice while watching the game in the afternoon whether the members of the freshman team and the Gryffindor team would be arranged in the same area at the celebration dinner.

Although the "Boy Who Lived" was under the guise of communicating about Quidditch, Elena still saw through his motives at a glance.

Today's Hogwarts freshmen team has two major troubles: Ginny Weasley and Cho Chang.

After two months of intensive Quidditch training together day and night, they quickly became best friends who talked about everything.

More importantly, it is no secret that Qiu Zhang has a crush on Cedric from Hufflepuff and Ginny has a crush on Harry from Gryffindor.

Hermione even seriously considered the honey trap, after all, it might even be possible to directly "play" two first-class teams.

However, considering that there is a certain chance of losing money, and that it has not yet reached such a tense moment, under the persuasion of a certain little angel, the head coach reluctantly suppressed the idea for the time being and waited for a while before talking.

The celebration + networking party later in the evening is undoubtedly the best time to observe.
