Chapter 60: No One Can Find Someone to Take Advantage Of
Unlike Harry and the others, Aaron and Draco not only did not receive any cold stares in this deduction, but also indirectly became heroes of Slytherin.
Although Slytherin House did not know why the two were deducted 15 points, this amount of points was nothing to two excellent students, and they could earn it back in a few classes.
Not to mention Aaron, who was given extra points in almost every class, and Draco alone contributed more than 15 points to Slytherin's House Cup this semester.
And using 15 points to exchange for Gryffindor's 150 points is definitely a sure win.
It is true that Slytherin is the first place, but Gryffindor, the second place, is biting hard behind, which is really worrying, for fear that it will be caught up at any time.
But now they are not worried, the score gap is too big, unless a miracle happens, Gryffindor's last place is a foregone conclusion.
Every Slytherin feels that this year's House Cup is stable, and the tense nerves are relieved a lot, and some students even start to celebrate in advance.
"You really don't need to do this." Aaron looked at the smug Draco and said speechlessly: "After all, we were also deducted points, which is not something to be proud of."
"Okay! I admit that I am a little gloating.
But everyone will know sooner or later, I just said it in advance.
This matter was completely caused by the three of them. For some reasons, we have to keep it a secret, but I am unwilling to let it go.
So I took this opportunity to make things difficult for them, but I didn't expect the effect to be so obvious." Draco said, the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily, "In fact, Harry, Ron, and Hermione Gryffindor should be the hero of Slytherin.
One hundred and fifty points! Gryffindor will definitely be at the bottom this time.
Aaron, are you interested in meeting them with me? "
"What do you want to meet them for?
I suggest you get some sleep, you still have detention tonight!"
"Aaron, I have to say something to you about this.
Sleeping will only make our detention a little easier, it's not important.
In contrast, it's really interesting to see the depressed faces of Harry and the others. "Draco said with interest, and he felt faintly excited when he thought of Gryffindor's star being the target of public criticism.
But seeing Aaron's lack of interest, he was a little speechless, "I know you don't want to add insult to injury, but this time they were wrong.
Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Abe!
If it wasn't so powerful, it would have been bullied by Norbert last night."
"This..." Aaron was stunned for a moment, looking at the dragon lying on the table and yawning, and sighed slightly. This little guy is too heartless.
"Let's go! What you said makes some sense. You can't be too kind to some people.
But do you know where they are?"
"There's no need to look for them at all." Draco said confidently: "Their negative popularity has increased by more than one level. They are the focus wherever they go. It's easy to find them."
"That's right."
The two walked out of the common room, and the first classmate they met was from Slytherin.
"Millicent, do you know where Harry Potter is?" Draco asked.
"Um... I saw them in the library before, but they should be gone now.
Except for Slytherin, the remaining three colleges almost want to kill them with their eyes."
"You see!" Draco smiled at Aaron, "I said they would become rats crossing the street today."
"It's really pitiful." Millicent said, "But it's reasonable. No one has been deducted three-digit points in recent years."
"They don't deserve sympathy."
"I know this, these are the points deducted by Professor McGonagall, and it was deducted by their Gryffindor dean himself. It is absolutely fair and just.
What did they do last night? Can you tell me about it?
I promise not to tell others."
"That's not possible." Draco said righteously, "I can't tell you that they were deducted so many points because..."
"Ahem!" Aaron coughed, and then gave Draco a look that you can understand yourself.
"Just a joke, we have to keep it a secret."
"Oh!" Millicent nodded thoughtfully, and was very tactful and didn't ask more questions.
After Millicent entered the common room, Aaron looked at Draco meaningfully, "What were you going to say just now?"
"Uh... don't get me wrong, I know my limits.
I just wanted to say that they stole students' property, that's all.
Abe is also your personal property, so it should be okay to say that."
"It's okay, but don't talk nonsense.
Sometimes, it's more terrible to be unable to control your mouth than to be unable to control your hands."
"Got it."
The two went to the library, but didn't find Harry and his friends. They asked a random classmate and went to the auditorium.
However, when they arrived at the auditorium, they were told that Harry and his friends had moved to another place.
"What the hell, can't they just stay in one place for a while?" Draco said a little depressed.
He had planned to kick someone when they were down, although it was a bit unkind, but who made him not get along with those people?
Not to mention Ron, the feud between Weasley and Malfoy probably dates back hundreds of years.
Harry embarrassed him in public at the beginning of the school year, and he didn't take him seriously at other times, often causing trouble for him.
As for Hermione, she failed her friend's trust, so it was natural to mock her!
But I never expected that these people were as slippery as loaches, and how could they kick someone when they were down when they couldn't find him.
"That's normal.
They are now being pointed at by thousands of people. They would be ashamed to death if they stayed in one place.
If I were them, I would hide in a place where no one can find me, or a place with few people."
"Gryffindor's common room?" Draco said thoughtfully, "Hiding in the dormitory and closing the door is indeed a good way to escape.
But they can't hide forever."
"There is another place, Hagrid's hut." Aaron suggested, "Compared to the common room that is all Gryffindor, it is a better choice.
If that's the case, then your idea may have to be postponed, after all, there is a giant protecting them."
"Not really! Do they dare to go there?
The problem of the Norwegian Ridgeback should not be solved yet, right? Aren't they afraid of meeting Dumbledore and being criticized again?" Draco said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Based on his understanding of Harry and others, if nothing unexpected happens, the three of them should be hiding in Hagrid's hut.
There are no other people's rolling eyes there, nor those sarcastic words mixed with accusations. It is definitely the best refuge.
"Go back!
No matter where they are hiding now, they have to gather in the hallway at night."
Draco nodded, but still felt a little regretful.
Today is definitely the most difficult day for Harry and his friends, but tomorrow will be different. After a good night's sleep, many people will passively accept the reality.
After a while, the limelight will gradually fade, and their situation will be much better.
It was a little after ten o'clock in the evening.
Aaron and Draco came out of the common room and walked towards the hallway.
Before I got close, I heard Harry Potter's voice coming from inside, "Wood doesn't agree with me quitting the Quidditch team. He still hopes that I can win the game as a seeker and make up for the score.
But as a seeker, they look at me strangely. They don't even call me by my name. They just call me 'seeker'. I feel out of place."
"It's okay. Everyone will forget about these things in a few weeks." Ron comforted, "Fred and George are often deducted points, but they are still very popular."
"They must not have been deducted 50 points at once!"
"Uh... That's not the case." Ron said angrily, "Hermione and I are in a slightly better situation. After all, our reputation is not as big as yours, but no one wants to talk to us now."
"They are all here!" Draco walked over with a smile, "I thought you were expelled. I looked for you for a long time today and couldn't find you!"
"Malfoy, are you here to add insult to injury?" Harry said unhappily.
"Misunderstanding, really misunderstanding." Draco walked up to Harry with a smile on his face, clapping his hands continuously, saying, "I'm here to express my gratitude. You really helped Slytherin a lot.
One hundred and fifty points! God knows how long it will take to earn it back.
Potter, Granger and Weasley, if you want to transfer to Slytherin, you must tell me, and I will definitely help you.
At worst, I can lose face and let my dad go to see Dumbledore and ask him to agree in the name of the school board."
"You... are really going too far." Ron pointed at him angrily and was about to rush up to duel with him.
"Enough!" Aaron shouted, "Do you think the deduction is too little?
I need to remind you that Filch will be here soon."
