Chapter 58 Tenfold Score Gap

"Haha! There are still some fish that have slipped through the net!" Filch sneered, "But they are unlucky and have to fall into the trap."

"Good evening, both of you." Professor McGonagall said with a sullen face, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Why don't you hurry over?"

Harry and Ron just felt extremely unlucky. Although they got the information about the professor who designed the mechanism to protect the Philosopher's Stone tonight, it was totally not worth the loss.

The two walked to Professor McGonagall nervously, lowered their heads first, and then looked at Aaron and Draco with suspicion.

Filch usually patrols the castle, why did he suddenly come to Hagrid tonight, and Professor McGonagall was beside him.

They didn't think this was a whim, it must be someone who reported it.

"Don't look at us like that. We ran into Filch and Professor McGonagall just a few steps out of the house." Aaron said disdainfully, "So, don't insult our noble character with your suspicious eyes."

"This is all thanks to Mrs. Norris." Filch said proudly, "It found Aaron and told me, and I found Professor McGonagall.

In fact, I should have found Professor Snape, after all, he is the dean of Slytherin, but his office is a little far away.

But now it seems that I didn't find the wrong person unexpectedly, there are actually three Gryffindors and two Slytherins.

Three to two, Professor McGonagall, I wonder how you plan to deal with it?"

"Detention, all detention.

But before that, I have to do "Understand the reason." Professor McGonagall looked at the five students in front of her expressionlessly, "What are you doing here so late at night? Don't you know that students are not allowed to walk around the campus at night without permission?"

"Professor, let me tell you!" Draco sneered and glanced at Harry and others, then took a step forward, "Although we don't go home at night, there is a reason for it.

Of course, I'm talking about Aaron and me, not Potter, Weasley, and Granger."

"Are you trying to get you two out?" Professor McGonagall said, "Don't think about it, no matter what the reason is, you can't escape the detention."

Draco's mouth twitched, and he inadvertently glanced at the half-smile on Harry and the other two's faces, and he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

"Professor, this is what happened. Tonight, when Crabbe, Goyle and I were about to return to the common room, we happened to see three sneaky figures.

It's understandable that we followed them out of curiosity!

Of course, we respect the school rules very much and plan to return to the dormitory before curfew."

"Get to the point, Malfoy.

Also, don't talk so high-soundingly. It's not so fair for you to follow others."

"Professor, I admit that my behavior was not graceful, but I don't regret it." Draco said indifferently.

He was very happy tonight. Although he was not the protagonist, he could be said to be the key role that pushed the story to the climax.

Although he was accidentally caught at the end, it was harmless.

He and Aaron may not be able to avoid the punishment, but Harry and the others will definitely be punished more severely.

In this comparison, he felt much better.

"We followed them quietly to Hagrid's hut, and saw... Harry and the others were going to give Aaron's pet to Hagrid."

"What?" Professor McGonagall frowned, "Is what Mr. Malfoy said true?"

The three Gryffindors all lowered their heads and remained silent, and silence at this time was a tacit agreement.

"That's it, Professor McGonagall.

Aaron is my best friend. I couldn't bear him being deceived, so I asked Crabbe and Goyle to go back and inform him.

As for what happened later, I won't say much."

"You disappoint me so much, deduct points, deduct 50 points." Professor McGonagall said angrily, "You are too much."

"50 points?"

The three of them opened their mouths wide, and this number gave them too much of a shock.

That's 50 points! If it's evenly distributed, each person will be deducted 16 or 17 points.

Hermione is better, she may be able to make up for it by working hard for a few classes, of course not including Snape's potion class.

But Harry and Ron were a little upset. It was good enough that they didn't get deducted points. It was not easy to make up for this big hole.

"Deduct 50 points from each person." Professor McGonagall said lightly.

"Everyone..." Ron was stunned. He looked at Harry, as if they could see the huge negative debt on each other.

Draco looked at the three people with a triumphant smile, and he was so happy in his heart.

"What are you laughing at?

I said everyone also includes you and Aaron."

The smile on Draco's face instantly converged, "Sorry, professor, I may have heard it wrong.

Are you saying that we have to deduct 50 points too?"

"Yes, you also violated the school rules. This is to ensure that you will not commit it again in the future."

"But this..."

"No need to explain, Draco." Aaron patted Abe in his arms gently, "I'll pay for your 50 points. It's only 100 points, which can still be done by the end of the semester."

"This is not a matter of grades, this is unfair." Draco said unhappily, "I have no objection to Professor McGonagall punishing us, but why should the degree of punishment be the same as theirs? I don't accept it.

The three of them didn't suffer any losses except the same punishment as us, but Abe was almost injured, that's..."

"Enough, this matter ends here." Aaron interrupted him loudly.

Professor McGonagall was slightly stunned, as if she understood something, turned around and looked at Aaron, "It... is fine!"

"It's okay, just a little frightened."

"Frightened? Are you sure it's just a fright?"

"Yes, I'm sure." Aaron was firm.

Professor McGonagall turned her head and looked at Draco, "If you don't explain for him, maybe you can reduce the points."

"No." Draco shook his head, "We are unlucky this time!"

"Hoho!

Filch, please keep an eye on them first, I will go to Hagrid to find out the situation." Professor McGonagall said meaningfully, "If you don't say it, there will always be someone willing to tell it.

Hagrid is an honest man and will not lie."

Seeing Professor McGonagall walking towards the hut, Harry and the other two panicked immediately.

There is also a dragon in the hut. If it is discovered, Hagrid will probably be heartbroken.

"Wait, Professor McGonagall, how about I explain it!" Harry hurriedly stopped her.

In fact, he didn't know what to say, but it was important to stop Professor McGonagall first. As for the rest, he would act according to circumstances!

"Then you say it, I'm listening."

"I... this... this is what happened..." Harry hesitated and didn't say a complete sentence.

Professor McGonagall could naturally see his perfunctory attitude, and sighed helplessly, "I'd better go find Hagrid!"

No one blocked their way this time, because they all knew that Professor McGonagall would not give up until the matter was clear.

"Aaron, is this okay?" Draco was a little worried. He didn't care whether Norbert would be discovered, but he couldn't be discovered today.

What if they were implicated and Abe's identity was exposed?

Hagrid and his friends signed a confidentiality agreement, but in his opinion, the paper had no binding force at all, let alone at this critical juncture.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Aaron said calmly, "Everyone knows that it's better to have less trouble than more. Hagrid is just silly, not stupid, and he will be no exception."

"I hope so!"

Soon, Professor McGonagall's roar came from the hut, "How can you raise a dragon in school?

How dare you, Hagrid?"

"He raised a dragon?" Filch said in surprise, "I know he likes all kinds of magical animals, but isn't the dragon too exaggerated?"

"We just found out about it." Aaron said, "No one thought Hagrid was so brave."

Professor McGonagall walked out of the hut, exhaled a long breath, and then walked up to the few people.

"What punishment will Hagrid receive?" Harry asked nervously.

"He will definitely be expelled." Draco said gloatingly.

"It's not necessary to expel him. Fortunately, the dragon has just hatched and is not a threat to the safety of the school. If it gets bigger, no one can plead for it.

But he must not be kept. I will discuss with Dumbledore to see where to send him." Professor McGonagall said with some fatigue, "Aaron, Abe... is it really okay?

I hope you tell the truth and don't have any concerns."

"It's really okay.

I watched Abe grow up. He is one of my few family members. I won't let him suffer any grievances.

It's just that the clothes my mother specially prepared for him before school started were burned by dragon flames. It's a pity."

Abe also showed a wronged expression at the right time, stretched his two claws to the top of his head, and pulled out a hat with traces of dragon breath burns from under the hat.

A layer of mist covered his big eyes, which instantly filled Professor McGonagall's sympathy.

"I'm very sorry, Aaron.

As the head of Gryffindor, I failed to take good care of them.

Abe was almost injured, and I have to take part of the responsibility." Professor McGonagall said earnestly, "I apologize to you here. I was negligent. I didn't expect that things would be more dangerous than I thought.

Detention is definitely inevitable. This is a punishment for violating school rules, but you and Draco can have your points deducted less. Draco will be deducted ten points, and you will be deducted five points!"
