Early the next morning, when the Hufflepuffs found that the hourglass that recorded the score was missing a bit, everyone was puzzled and angry, who was the guy who lost so many points all of a sudden!

"Fifty points less all at once!" Justin said with anger in his voice, "Then we're not much better than Gryffindor..." He said while looking at Gryffindor's hourglass.

He suddenly found that their hourglass was even more exaggerated! Only a thin layer of red fine sand remains.

"This...this is..." He pointed to Gryffindor's hourglass incoherently.

When everyone looked at the hourglasses of the other two colleges, they realized that Slytherin was also missing ninety points.

In this way, they are the ones who are ahead, and everyone can't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"But you still have to find that coward who lost points and dares not admit it." Ernie patted Auston's shoulder, "After all, those are points that you risked your life for!"

The others should also agree, vowing to find the **** who lost points.

"Okay," Auston walked in front of the crowd and smiled, "I guess the **** who was deducted 50 points should be me."

The Hufflepuffs fell silent, looking at him strangely.

"Please! Don't look at me like that, okay? I just wanted to sneak out and beat Malfoy, but I didn't expect to be caught by Professor McGonagall. I really didn't mean it!" He helplessly spread his hands.

Everyone knows the grievances between the two of them. I heard that he is going to beat Malfoy, so they will no longer pursue it. After all, most of the points are also won by him desperately.

Compared to his compatriots' understanding of Auston, Harry's side was appalling.

He used to be the most popular and admired figure in the academy, but now he has suddenly become the target of public criticism.

"In a few weeks, they'll forget all about it. Fred and George have been dropping points since they started school, and people still love them." Ron tried his best to comfort him.

"But they never dropped a hundred and fifty in one fell swoop, did they?" said Harry sadly.

"Well...that's not it." Ron admitted that he really didn't know what to say to comfort Harry.

Although the loss of points did not have much impact on Auston, he encountered another trouble.

Delphi never saw him again, even though he blocked the door of the Slytherin common room again and again.

There would always be two tall, tall seniors who would neither fight Auston nor curse him with their wands up, but would raise him up without a word and walk away until he got to the top. He put him down at the stairs on the first floor.

When he chased after him, he could only see Delphi's back entering the common room.

This time he finally learned to be smart, he called his good brother Cedric, and the Hufflepuff team's big Jack.

They hurried down to the first floor before anyone left the table, to the stone wall of the Slytherin common room.

Gradually, Slytherin students passed by one after another, and they pointed at Auston and the others.

"Look, that annoying Hufflepuff is here again, and he has a helper. I guess Spender must give him a curse this time!"

A Slytherin girl with a khaki double ponytail told her friend.

Auston ignored them. He kept staring in the direction of the stairs, waiting for the black-haired figure.

After a while, the two strong Slytherin men who always blocked Auston headed into his sight, followed by a group of Slytherin girls.

Auston saw that Delphi with a ponytail was in the middle of the group of girls.

Obviously, Delphi didn't want to see him at all, she stopped and gave the two strong men in front a look.

The two men walked towards Auston aggressively as usual.

Cedric and Jack immediately rushed from behind Auston to the front, fighting with the two strong men.

Delphi walked around them frowning.

Auston grabbed her robe.

"Please! Delphi, listen to my explanation!" he begged. "In a word, just listen to me."

Delphi threw Auston's hand away forcefully, took out her wand from under her robe, and pointed it at Auston's nose.

The Slytherin girl with two ponytails saw Delphi take out her wand, and she lowered her head and whispered to her friend, her eyes full of meaning I had guessed.

"Auston Brown! Don't force me!" Delphi growled, "I don't want to see you again!"

Auston looked at the wand in her hand, shook his head in disbelief, and stepped back in a trance.

"Okay...Okay..." He had nothing to say.

He turned resolutely, separated his friends from the two big Slytherins, and led them away.

"We can hold on for a while longer." Cedric wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "You should probably talk to her a little more."

Auston patted him on the shoulder and pulled out a wry smile

"Thank you, my good brothers, I will always remember what you did for me."

There was no class the next afternoon, and Auston avoided Filch with a Marauder's map and slipped to the observatory on the roof~www.NovelMTL.com~ This was his healing place when he was in a bad mood.

But there was already a person at the observatory, a brown-haired girl sitting on the long table where the telescope was placed.

"Hey, Hermione, I didn't hear that you didn't have class today. I didn't expect you to still skip class."

He walked up to Hermione and smiled.

"Didn't you have a good time in Professor Binns' class?" She raised her head and looked at him.

Although she also had a smile on her face, Auston could see that her heart must not be able to laugh at this moment.

"It's very uncomfortable to be hated by others." Auston also jumped to the long table and sat down next to her.

"Nonsense, no one in Hufflepuff hates you. Even if you lose fifty points, you're still the most popular among them."

"It's Delphi," Auston said bitterly, bowing his head, "yesterday we broke up completely. You know, because of that robe."

"So you also want me to stay away from you?" Hermione raised her head and looked at him seriously, her eyes a little hurt.

Auston shook his head, brushing through her slightly curly brown hair.

"How come, you have always been my good friend and have a good relationship with you. I have a clear conscience." Auston said.

Suddenly, he remembered the fruity scent of that night. Moved to the side without a trace.

Hermione leaned directly on his shoulder, and he stopped and didn't dare to move.

"Thank you Auston, thank you very much," Hermione's voice sounded a little tired, "thank you for not abandoning me, even Ron occasionally complains about us these days, saying that Harry and I lost too much at once. More points..."

She rambled, and gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep.
