Chapter 237 Embarrassment (Modified)
"It's too much, everyone is talking, and he just came to punish Ravenclaw!" Edward complained.
After Percy turned and left, Allen secretly stretched out his wand, and a circle of light turned into two letters attached to Percy's back——HB
"Head Boy? Everyone knows that he is the chairman of the Boys' Union." The Ravenclaw who was farther away was puzzled.
Michael on the side sneered, "Humungous Bighead, the incomparably huge head—very vivid!"
Obviously, it wasn't just Michael who understood this, as Percy walked past, there were uncontrollable laughter from the surrounding sleeping bags.
"Quiet, quiet!" Percy reprimanded, putting on airs.
The candles had all been extinguished, and only the silvery ghosts were shining, floating here and there, talking solemnly to the prefects, and the enchanted ceiling looked like the sky outside, dotted with stars.
Under such a ceiling, Alan felt as if he was sleeping in the breeze outside, listening to the whispers still ringing in the auditorium.
After a while, Professor Flitwick and Penello came to the auditorium to check whether everyone was safe.
When he saw Alan, Professor Flitwick breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't come over to ask Alan, but dutifully patrolled the auditorium for a week and then left directly.
Every hour, a teacher appeared in the auditorium to check that everything was safe. At about three o'clock in the morning, many students finally fell asleep, and Professor Dumbledore walked in.
Allen, who had eyes and ears, immediately woke up from a half-dream. He stared at Professor Dumbledore. He found Percy and asked about the situation in the auditorium.
The auditorium door creaked open again, and there were more footsteps.
"The entire fourth floor was searched. He wasn't there. Filch also checked in the dungeon, and he wasn't there either." The owner of the voice was Professor Snape.
"Where's the Astronomy Tower? Where's Professor Trelawney's room? Where's the Owl Shack?"
"I've searched everything..."
"Very well, Severus. I also expected that Black would not linger here."
"Have you ever wondered how he got in, Headmaster?" Snape asked in a darker voice than usual.
"There are many ideas, Severus, but each one is equally flimsy."
Next, Professor Snape's voice was barely audible, even Allen couldn't hear it clearly.
But his trembling face can be clearly seen everywhere, so that Allen can guess the anger in his heart at this time.
Allen knew that he must be suspicious of Professor Lupine, thinking that Professor Lupine brought Sirius Black to Hogwarts.
"I don't believe that there is anyone in this castle who can help Black break in." Dumbledore increased his voice, and his tone made it clear that this topic was over, and Snape didn't speak any more.
"I must go down and find the dementors," said Dumbledore. "I told them to notify them when we were done searching."
"Didn't they come to help, sir?" said Percy.
"Oh, yes," said Dumbledore coldly, "but as long as I am Headmaster, I am afraid not a single Dementor will cross the threshold of this castle."
The head of the Boys' Council looked a little embarrassed.
Dumbledore left the auditorium, walking quickly and silently. Snape stood for a while, watching the headmaster's back with deep resentment on his face, and then he left too.
For the next few days, there was only one topic of conversation in the school, and that was Sirius Black.
The tales of how he broke into the castle are getting weirder - Apparating, flying in, camouflaged... Hufflepuff's Hannah Abbott has the weirdest idea - Black will turn into a flowering bush shrubs.
But no one guessed that Sirius was an illegal Animagus - although Professor Remus Lupine knew it, he hadn't told anyone else about it.
And the teacher who appeared in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class today stunned all the Ravenclaws. It was Dean Slytherin, who had recently become more annoying in mood and attitude, and Potions professor Severus ? Snape.
"Professor Lupine didn't keep any record of what you've learned - so can anyone tell me what you've learned?" Snape scanned the room with dangerous eyes.
The eyes of all the little wizards turned to Allen, which made him bite the bullet and raised his hand. He knew that no matter what he said, Professor Snape would definitely criticize Professor Lupine to pieces.
Professor Snape narrowed his eyes, "Very well, Alan, please come and tell me what's in your empty heads."
"Sir, we have learned from Boggart, Red Hat, Kabbah, and Grindylow. Now we are preparing to challenge magical creatures with higher ratings from the Ministry of Magic." Since Allen opened his mouth, he would not be easily interrupted. He ignored Si With dangerous eyes from Professor Nepe, he recited the content of the course taught by Professor Lupine.
In all fairness, Professor Lupine is really a good professor. At least since Allen came to Hogwarts for more than two years, he is the most reliable Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
"It seems that Professor Lupine didn't add any burden to you—I think first-year students should be able to deal with Red Hat and Grindylow. Today we are going to discuss—"
All Ravenclaws watched curiously as he flipped through the pages of the textbook until the last chapter.
"—Werewolf." Professor Snape patted the book.
"Now, everyone turn the book to page 394." He glanced at the shocked class again, "Everyone! Hurry up!"
Although everyone didn't understand why Professor Snape did this, the smart Ravenclaw realized that it must be due to the personal grievances between Professor Snape and Professor Lupine.
In front of the aggressive Professor Snape, all the Ravenclaws turned to the werewolf chapter and wisely kept silent. Apparently, such a Ravenclaw made Professor Snape unable to burn his anger. He arranged for everyone to copy notes about werewolves from books and then walk back and forth between the desks.
This kind of homework is not difficult for Allen, but Allen's mind is not on these boring excerpts. He looked at Snape who was walking, felt the other's anger but couldn't help feeling sympathetic - the foursome of Gryffindor Marauders had done too much harm to this greasy-haired poor man...
The bell finally rang, but Professor Snape didn't let them go.
"Each write a paper for me on how to identify and kill werewolves. I ask you to fill two volumes of parchment on the subject, due Monday morning. I hear Ravenclaw's new bulletin board is very Fantastic, then Alan Harris, it's up to you to post the excellent papers I pick out on the bulletin board."
What else could Allen say, he could only withdraw his sympathy for the other party, and nodded helplessly.
