All things are three at Hogwarts

Chapter 57 Punishment (Revised)

Saturday soon arrived, and it was a dark and overcast night. Allen, who had gone to the Black Lake for a walk in advance, waited for a while before meeting up with the Hogwarts Iron Triangle.

Iron Triangle briefly explained that they had to avoid Peeves playing tennis against the wall in the foyer for a while before they seized the opportunity and ran out. Then they told Alan dejectedly that after Ron recovered from his injury and left Ravenclaw, Halfway to the Law Tower, he suddenly said excitedly that he had put the letter from Charlie in a book and put it back on the library shelf. When they arrived, they found that the book had been borrowed by Draco Malfoy. .

"We have no time to change our plans..." 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 find Charlie, and this is probably the last time we get rid of Noble's only chance, we have to take a risk, we have an invisibility cloak, which Malfoy doesn't know about."

Ron blushed beside him, and he didn't dare to look at Alan's expression when he heard that he was stupid.

"But I don't understand, why didn't Malfoy report us immediately?" Hermione said, shaking her furry head. In the past few days, she was worried about being reported and found out about violations, but the situation that had always been peaceful made her confused.

"Think about the meaning of Draco Malfoy's name. Who likes dragons the most in Hogwarts..." Alan answered their questions, "If Hagrid is number one, he should be number two. "

They were brought to Hagrid's hut. Hagrid's big hunting dog Fangya was lying listlessly outside the door with a bandage on his tail. Hagrid heard the sounds outside and opened the window to talk to them.

"Sorry, please wait for a moment while I put Norbert into the crate..." Hagrid gasped with tears in his eyes, "Norbert is very difficult to deal with now...I can't do anything with him."

After waiting for a while, there was a fight and the sound of things breaking inside. Hagrid, who was covered with injuries, finally came out wearing only one shoe and lifting a crate - his bare fur. His feet were covered with bites from the fire dragon.

Hagrid seemed to have noticed Allen's gaze or just noticed Allen. Hagrid looked a little embarrassed. He had been trying to avoid him because he was afraid of Aunt Allen's identity, so now he glanced at his bare feet and his voice changed. He explained weakly: "I didn't, it only bit my boots... It was playing... After all, it is still a little fur baby..."

Allen looked at Hagrid who seemed to be about to start crying. He turned to Hermione who was trying to speak and shook her head, letting Miss Know-It-All shut down what she wanted to remind Hagrid that Allen was actually here to see the fire dragon, not to send it off. ——At this point, Allen decided to just take a look through the crate and settle the matter...

I cast fluorescent light with my wand and cast it over the crate. Apart from the strange smell of a box of dead mice, the little dragon was waddling around inside. It wasn't actually pretty: it looked like a handful of Crumpled black umbrella. Its spiny wings look particularly large compared to its thin, black body. It also has a long, big nose with white nostrils, horns on its head, and orange-red eyes that protrude outward. It sneezed, and a few sparks came out of its nose - there was a teddy bear whose head had been bitten off by the dragon, and it set its sights on the boot that should have belonged to Hagrid's bare foot .

"I prepared a lot of mice and some brandy for it, which is enough for it to eat along the way." Hagrid said in a dull voice, "I also put its teddy bear and my boots in so that it wouldn't If it feels lonely, it can smell my scent when it misses me..."

This made Harry's Ron's expression a little wonderful, and it also successfully made Hermione, who is slightly mysophobic, a little nauseous - blue cheese was served for dinner at Hogwarts today.

Alan sympathized with Hagrid somewhat. He had also experienced losing a pet and understood how Hagrid felt at this time. However, considering the danger that the fire dragon would pose to Hagrid's own life and that of others, this thing was really not suitable to be kept as a personal pet. .

Later, the time to say goodbye finally arrived.

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

Harry, Ron and Hermione covered the crate with an invisibility cloak, and then they themselves got under the robes - because there was one more person than originally, Ron, who had recovered from his hand injury, the Iron Triangle had to adjust their posture. Half squat, otherwise their calves will be exposed.

Allen did not choose to continue accompanying them to send Norbert away, because Harry's invisibility cloak could not cover so many people, and he did not intend to expose the fact that he could use the Disguise Curse in front of the Iron Triangle. The most important thing was - —He had to make sure he didn't get caught.

The next day, after a good night's sleep, Allen went to the Room of Requirement for morning exercise feeling refreshed and sweaty. After washing up, Allen went to the auditorium hall to have breakfast as usual.

Entering the auditorium, Alan sensitively noticed that the atmosphere among the students on the long table was strange. Then he saw Gryffindor Harry, Ron and Hermione sitting listlessly at the table, and Neville next to him had swollen eyes. Just like walnuts, Flegg was comforting him.

Sure enough they were caught.

In order to prove his idea, he went out of his way to see the huge hourglass that recorded the score of the Academy Cup. It was indeed good. The huge hourglass representing Gryffindor was dotted with rubies here and there. The empty hourglass and the piles of Ravenclaws next to it were empty. Compared with the sapphire hourglass, he looked very weak, pitiful, and helpless, but when he saw the dinner plates in front of the few lion cubs, they were quite able to eat.

When Gryffindor got up today, he thought something had gone wrong. Originally, Gryffindor had the second highest number of gems this semester, surpassing Slytherin who had won the House Cup for six consecutive years. No need to look at the count now. You know, they are definitely at the bottom, and their chances of even catching up with Hufflepuff are slim.

The question is, how could they suddenly score two hundred and fifty points less than yesterday? But soon, the matter spread. The famous Porter and four stupid first-year freshmen made their grades in one school year almost total. Nothing - even if they can't win the Academy Cup, being able to surpass Slytherin, their old rival that has suppressed them for six years, is enough for many little lions.

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

Flagg and Neville discovered that Harry and the others were not there to dissuade them, but they were also caught by Professor McGonagall.

As for Ron, because Alan had healed the injury on his hand, he did not lie down in bed to rest, but went with Harry and the others to see off Norbert. As a result, although several Gryffindors were lucky enough to avoid Professor McGonagall, She caught Draco Malfoy, who was trapped for informing him, and deducted twenty points from Slytherin for violating the curfew. However, she successfully sent Noble to the highest tower, which is the tower where astronomy is taught. , handed it over to Brother Luo's brother Charlie's colleagues to complete this task, the little lions were a little excited, and completely forgot to put on the invisibility cloak when they went downstairs, so they left it on the astronomical tower... and then they were so arrogant and talking. He went downstairs with a smile, but was successfully blocked by Filch.

Five people, because of Gryffindor's large-scale violation of curfew, each of them was punished by Professor McGonagall with fifty points, and was imprisoned together with Malfoy - although Professor McGonagall was also very Heartbroken, but always wanting to maintain a fair and just image, she still deducted points from her college without mercy.

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

Harry was once one of the most popular and admired figures in the school and the pride of Gryffindor. Now he suddenly became their shame. No one in Gryffindor wanted to sit with them. No one wanted to talk to them - Seamus Finnigan would only show his roommates the patch of skin on the back of his head that had recently lost hair.

On the other hand, whenever the Slytherins passed by them, the little snakes always clapped, whistled, and cheered - although Draco Malfoy also deducted twenty points from his own house, but They were already hopeless to win the first place and compete for the Academy Cup. They praised Malfoy's behavior of deducting points but raising the ranking to second place. They believed that this was in line with the style of their academy.

Malfoy even acted like a hero, deliberately taking Goyle and Crabbe with him. The three of them even deliberately walked in and out of the restaurant to laugh at Harry. "Thank you, Pote! Your stupidity pushed us to second place!"

Harry couldn't sit still anymore. Next to him, Hermione, who cared more about the honor of the academy, couldn't bear the humiliation. She lowered her head and tried not to cry. Harry pulled up Ron and Hermione and said hello. Neville wanted to leave here, but the three Malfoys deliberately blocked their way and shouted humiliation.

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

"But Malfoy, I also thank you. You have also made it even more impossible for Slytherin to catch up with our Ravenclaws, but it seems that you have already given up on competing for second place. ?" Although Allen deliberately failed to warn Gryffindor and lost points, he still decided to help them improve their situation after seeing them being treated like this, and gain goodwill by the way.

Draco snorted coldly. Knowing that he would be in trouble if he continued speaking, he returned to the Slytherin table with his two followers.

"Let's go, Hermione, Harry, these superficial and hypocritical friendships are not worth your sadness. If it was because of me, all Ravenclaw's points would be deducted, I believe that the wise Ravenclaws will only work together, To create greater glory again, instead of adding insult to injury and looking coldly at each other, you must know that Hermione, your usual 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 house points at least have reasons, but I don’t know how those Gryffindors who usually only get points deducted in class have the courage to laugh at you." Allen made his voice sound louder than usual. Much bigger, so that more people can hear it, "symbolizes the courage and boldness of Gryffindors. When a companion is honored, he will be proud of himself. When a companion is deducted points, he will turn a cold eye to his humiliation." , you are so hypocritical, you are not as united as Slytherin."

Gryffindors were furious because of the criticism, and some were ashamed, but no one came out to defend themselves - this is Gryffindor who is known for its courage, and in fact they continued to do similar behaviors like this for several years. .

Edward was familiar with these Gryffindors because of Allen, so he couldn't help but interject when his roommate was quarreling with them: "Speaking of which, your Weasley twins have been losing points since they entered school. After careful calculation, the points deducted for each person should be no less than fifty points, but you Gryffindors still seem to like them very much?"

When the Ravenclaws nearby heard this, they each puffed up their chests, and some even showed friendly smiles to Harry. Ron and Neville were very embarrassed when they were ignored. In fact, they were not included in the deduction this time. 50 points is also a member of the negative group.

In addition, although Allen's statement about being deducted points is not wrong, it is actually just due to his personal charm. In fact, among the four colleges, the least united college should actually be Ravenc Labor itself, but it is different from Gryffindor's way of ostracizing outliers just because of things. They prefer the attitude of being unconcerned about things that have nothing to do with themselves. If Allen's performance in the classroom this year hadn't somewhat aroused this attitude, The desire to win among these lonely eaglets is probably the same as before. They will not focus on adding points but focus on their own hobbies...

But in the current situation, Allen's words were like a wake-up call. The Gryffindors who had just insulted a few people were blushing with embarrassment. Some of Seamus hesitated and plucked up the courage to apologize to Harry and others. There were also a few senior students. When the students passed by them, they bowed and apologized and then left quickly - this made Hermione and Neville hold back the tears falling from their eyes.

Despite this, although some of the Gryffindors present were more or less aware of their mistakes, more young lions in the entire academy were still unwilling to pay attention to Harry and the others. After all, they were also working hard to win for the academy. With less points, they are different from being members of the negative group. The rubies deducted from the scoring hourglass are due to their efforts.

The damage had been done and it was too late to regret. Harry swore to himself that from now on, he would never meddle in other people's business again. He stopped sneaking around and spying - he was so ashamed of himself that he went to Wood and said he was quitting the Quidditch team.

"Quit?" Wood scolded loudly, "What's the use? If we can't win the Quidditch game, how can we get the points back?"

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

The other four little lions are also suffering. Their life is not as difficult as Harry's because they are not as famous as him, but no one wants to talk to them. Although Hermione's situation is better, she has no friends. She could only study silently.

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

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

In the first grade, Allen is not the king, but in Ravenclaw, although he is not old enough to be appointed as a prefect, he is probably not as good as the powerful female prefect Penello. It's already much more useful than the male prefect whom Allen still can't pronounce by his full name...
