Chapter 57 Punishment (Modified)

Soon it was Saturday, and it was a dark and cloudy night. Allen, who had visited the Black Lake in advance, waited for a while before joining the Hogwarts Triangle.

Audio-Technica explained a little bit that they had to hide from Peeves who was playing tennis against the wall in the foyer for a while before they seized the opportunity to run out, and then they told Allen dejectedly that they would leave Ravenckey after Ron recovered from his injury. On the way to the Lauta Building, he suddenly said with excitement that he had put the letter Charlie gave him in the book and put it back on the shelf in the library. When they arrived, they found that the book had been borrowed by Draco Malfoy .

"It's too late for us to change our plan..." Harry and Hermione said in unison, and then Harry said to Alan as if to cheer himself up, "We don't have time to send another owl to Charlie, and this is probably the time we get rid of Norbert's only chance, we have to take a chance, we have an invisibility cloak, which Malfoy doesn't know about."

Ron blushed beside him, and he didn't dare to see what Alan would look like when he heard him being stupid.

"But I don't understand, why didn't Malfoy report us right away?" Hermione said, shaking her furry head. These days, she was worried and feared that the violations would be reported, but she was puzzled by the peaceful situation.

"Think about the meaning of Draco Malfoy's name, if you want to say who likes dragons the most in Hogwarts..." Allen explained their confusion, "If Hagrid is number one, he should be number two. "

After taking the crowd to Hagrid's cabin, Hagrid's big hound Fang was lying listlessly outside the door with a bandage on his tail. Hagrid heard voices from outside and opened the window to talk to them.

"Sorry, wait a minute, I'll crate Norbert..." Hagrid gasped with tears in his eyes, "Norbert is hard to deal with now...I can't do anything about him."

After waiting for a while, and with the sound of wrestling and things breaking inside, Hagrid, covered in injuries, finally lifted a crate with only one shoe on—his bare fur The feet were full of dragon bites.

Hagrid seemed to have noticed Alan's gaze or just noticed Alan. Hagrid looked a little embarrassed. He had been trying to avoid him because he was afraid of being Aunt Alan. So at this moment, he glanced at his bare feet and his voice changed. He had to explain weakly: "I didn't, it just bit my boot... It was playing... After all, it's still a little toy..."

Seeing that Hagrid seemed about to start crying, Allen turned his head and shook his head at Hermione who was trying to speak, making Miss Know-it-all swallow the words that wanted to remind Hagrid and Allen that he was actually here to see the fire dragons, not to see them off. ——At this point, Allen decided to just take a few glances through the crate...

Wand cast Luminosity, cast across the crate, except for a crate of dead rats smelling weird, the little dragon waddling about in it isn't really pretty: it looks like a Crumpled black umbrella. Its spiny wings are very large compared to its thin black body. It also has a long, large nose with white nostrils, horny bumps on its head, and bulging orange eyes. It sneezed and spewed a few sparks from its nose - a teddy bear inside had had its head bitten off by the dragon, and it set its sights on the boot that should have belonged to Hagrid's bare feet .

"Plenty of mice for him, and some brandy, enough for him to eat along the way," said Hagrid in a dull voice, "and I put his teddy bear and my boots in so he wouldn't Feeling lonely, it can smell me when it misses me..."

This made Harry's Ron's expression a bit exciting, and successfully made Hermione, who was a little bit of a clean freak, a little sick-today's Hogwarts dinner provided blue cheese.

Allen felt a little sympathetic to Hagrid. He had also experienced the loss of a pet. He understood Hagrid's feelings at this time.

But as far as the life danger of the fire dragon is to Hagrid himself and others, this thing is really not suitable as a personal pet.

Later, the time to part finally came.

"Goodbye, Norbert!" Hagrid sobbed, "Mum won't forget you!"

Harry, Ron and Hermione covered the crate with the cloak of invisibility, and then they also got under the cloak—because there were one more Ron than the original, the trio had to let their posture Half squat, or their calves will be exposed.

Alan didn't choose to continue to accompany them to send Norbert away, because Harry's invisibility cloak couldn't cover so many people, and he didn't intend to expose the fact that he could use the Disillusionment Charm in front of the Iron Triangle. The most important thing is— — He had to make sure he didn't get caught.

The next day, Alan, who had a good night's sleep, went to the Room of Response refreshed and refreshed for morning exercises. He felt great after being sweaty and sweaty. After washing up, Alan went to the hall of the auditorium to have breakfast as usual.

Entering the auditorium, Allen was sensitive to the strange atmosphere of the students on the long table, and then he saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione from Gryffindor sitting at the table listlessly, and Neville next to him had swollen eyes. Like Walnut, Fleger was reassuring him.

Sure enough, they were caught.

In order to prove his idea, he went to look at the huge hourglass that recorded the Academy Cup score. Compared with the sapphire hourglass, it looks very weak, pitiful, and helpless, but seeing the dinner plates in front of the little lions, they are still quite edible.

When Gryffindor woke up today, he thought something was wrong. Originally, Gryffindor ranked second in the number of gems this semester, surpassing Slytherin, who had won the House Cup for six consecutive years. You know, they are definitely at the bottom, and the chances of overtaking Hufflepuff are slim.

The question is, how could they suddenly lose two hundred and fifty points compared to yesterday? But soon, word spread that the famous Potter had four stupid first-year freshmen, and their grades for a school year were almost Nullified—even if they can't win the Academy Cup, it is enough for many young lions to surpass Slytherin, their old opponent who suppressed them for six years.

But today... yes, they were deducted a full two hundred and fifty points!

Flaig and Neville found out that Harry and the others were not there in order to dissuade them, but they were also caught by Professor McGonagall.

And Ron didn't rest in bed because Allen healed his hand injury, and went to send Norbert with Harry and the others. As a result, although several Gryffindors were lucky enough to avoid Professor McGonagall, She caught Draco Malfoy, who had turned himself into a snitch, and deducted twenty points from Slytherin for violating the curfew, but managed to send Norbert to the tallest tower, the one where astronomy was taught. After handing it over to Brother Luo's brother Charlie's colleagues to complete this task, the little lions were a little excited. When they went downstairs, they completely forgot to put on the invisibility cloak and forgot it on the Astronomy Tower... and then swaggered and said He went downstairs with a smile, but was successfully blocked by Filch.

Five people, because of Gryffindor's large-scale violation of the curfew, each of them was punished by Professor McGonagall with fifty points deducted, and they were locked up together with Malfoy—even though Professor McGonagall was very happy. It hurts her heart, but she, who always wanted to maintain a fair and just image, still deducted points from her college without mercy.

Alan, who walked briskly, returned to the restaurant. He found that the Gryffindor students were pointing at Harry and the others when they passed by, and they did not lower their voices when they said some insulting words to them.

Harry used to be one of the most popular and admired characters in the school, the pride of Gryffindor, and now it suddenly became their disgrace. No one wanted to talk to them—Seamus Finnigan would only turn the patch of skin on the back of his head where the newly lost hair was facing his roommates.

On the other hand, whenever the Slytherins walked past them, the little snakes always clapped, whistled, and cheered-although Draco Malfoy also deducted twenty points from his own house, but They already had no hope of winning the first place and competing for the Academy Cup. They praised Malfoy's behavior of deducting points but allowing them to rise to second place, thinking that this was in line with their academy's style.

Malfoy even acted like a hero, deliberately taking two followers, Goyle and Crabbe, and the three of them even deliberately went in and out of the restaurant repeatedly, laughing at Harry. "Thank you, Pot! Your stupidity got us up to second place!"

Harry couldn't sit still anymore, and Hermione next to him, who cared more about the honor of the college, couldn't bear such humiliation long ago, lowered her head and tried not to let herself cry——Harry pulled Ron and Hermione up, and greeted Neville wanted to leave here, but the three of Malfoy deliberately blocked their way and humiliated them loudly.

The Gryffindors all watched with cold eyes, showing no intention of standing up for Harry and the others.

"But Malfoy, I also thank you, you have also successfully made it even more impossible for Slytherin to catch up with us Ravenclaw, but it seems that you have long since given up your goal of competing for the second place ?” Although Allen deliberately did not remind Gryffindor to lose points, but seeing how they were treated like this, he decided to help them improve their situation, and by the way, he could gain a good impression.

Draco snorted coldly, knowing that he would be making fun of himself if he continued, he returned to the Slytherin table with his two followers.

"Let's go, Hermione, Harry, these superficial and hypocritical friendships are not worth your sorrow. If it's because of me, Ravenclaw's points will all be deducted, I believe that the wise Ravenclaws will only work together, To create another glories, instead of throwing stones into the ground, and looking coldly at each other, you must know that Hermione, your extra points in class have already far exceeded 50 points, and Harry, your performance in Quidditch, Gryffindor usually Students who have worked hard to earn college points at least have a reason, but I don’t know how courageous those Gryffindors who were only deducted points in class have the courage to laugh at you.” Allen let his voice speak louder than usual Much bigger, so that more people can hear, "It symbolizes the brave and bold Gryffindors. When their companions are honored, they will be all kinds of pride and pride. When their companions are deducted points, they will stand aside when they are humiliated. , you are downright hypocritical, you might as well unite as Slytherin."

Gryffindors were furious at the criticism, some were ashamed, but no one came out to defend themselves - this is Gryffindor, known for their courage, and in fact they continued to do the same behavior today for years to come .

Edward was familiar with these Gryffindors because of Alan's relationship, and he couldn't help interjecting when he saw his roommate being aggressive: "Speaking of which, your Weasley twins have been losing points since they entered school. After careful calculation, it should be no less than fifty points deducted from each person, but you Gryffindors still seem to like them very much?"

The Ravenclaws next to them all puffed up their chests when they heard the news, and some even gave Harry a friendly smile—Ron and Neville who were ignored were very embarrassed. A score of 50 is also a negative group member.

In addition, although Allen's statement that if he is deducted points is not wrong, it is actually only due to his personal charm. In fact, among the four colleges, the most disunity college should be regarded as their Ravenc Law itself, but it’s different from Gryffindor’s way of crowding out aliens because of things, they prefer the attitude that things have nothing to do with themselves, if not for Allen’s performance in class this year The desire to win and lose of the group of withdrawn eaglets, they probably will still be the same as usual, they will not focus on scoring points but on their own hobbies...

But in the current situation, Allen's words were like a slap in the face. The Gryffindors who had just insulted a few people were a little blushing. Some Seamus hesitated and apologized to Harry and the others. The students bowed and apologized as they walked past them, then walked away quickly - which brought down the tears that Hermione and Neville had been holding back.

Even so, although some of the Gryffindors present were more or less aware of their mistakes, in the entire academy, more lion cubs were still unwilling to pay attention to Harry and the others. With less points, they are different from the members of the negative group. The deducted rubies in the scoring hourglass have their own efforts.

The loss had already been done, and it was too late to regret it, Harry swore to himself that from now on, he would never meddle in other people's business again. He was no longer sneaking around spying on anything - he was so ashamed of himself that he went to find Wood and offered to quit the Quidditch team.

"Quit?" Wood snapped. "What good is that? If we can't win the Quidditch match, how are we going to get the points back?"

However, for Harry, even Quidditch lost its fun. During training, the other team members were reluctant to talk to him. If they had to mention him, they would call him "seeker" - as they have contributed a lot to the college points, they have enough confidence to use it. This attitude faced Harry.

The other four lion cubs were suffering as well, their life was not as difficult as Harry's, because they were not as famous as him, but no one wanted to talk to them anymore - although Hermione's situation was better, but she didn't have many friends She can only study silently.

It's just that when Malfoy, the little poisonous snake, tried to humiliate Harry again, there were always some Gryffindors who stood firmly in front of their college classmates. Therefore, although the life of Harry and the others was still difficult, it was not so painful— ——More importantly, as the final exam is approaching day by day, everyone has no energy to think about miscellaneous things. The tasks assigned by the professors are one after another, and there are new tricks and new homework thickness and size requirements every day. This also allowed everyone to temporarily forget their troubles and devote themselves to learning.

And Alan's remarks in the restaurant spread like wildfire, and finally reached the ears of his Ravenclaw head, Professor Flitwick. He was relieved to see that the smart and talented Ravenclaws were indeed better They were more united before, especially the first-year freshmen. They were impressed by Allen's performance this year, as if they had a leader, and they also imitated Allen's regular life, and worked hard to practice the knowledge taught in textbooks, instead of Continue to focus on the habit of watching the wand on the ground fall down to determine the direction to go, and using the dice to decide what to do today.

In the first grade, Allen was not a king but a king, and in Ravenclaw as a whole, although he was not old enough to be appointed as a prefect, his words were probably not as good as that powerful female prefect Penello, It's already much more useful than that male prefect who Alan still can't name his full name...
