The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

After a morning's rest, Link's energy improved a lot.

He and John headed to the auditorium together, ready to fill their empty bellies.

But just when Link was about to feast, Cedric's familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Link, I heard that you were detained by Professor Snape yesterday. What's going on?"

As Cedric said this, he sat next to Link very naturally, which excited John.

Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to directly interrupt the conversation between Cedric and Link, so he could only act excitedly on the sidelines.

"It's nothing serious. It's just that I offended Snape during class, so he kept me here and asked me to take care of the specimens."

Link lied as if nothing had happened.

He won't tell anyone about the potion.

That would be of no help to the situation he was facing now, and would only be a side issue in his life.

Upon hearing this, Cedric's expression suddenly changed, and the hand that was originally grabbing the bread stopped.

"Yes...really? That's really hard on you." Cedric forced a smile and said, "But I think we should not discuss this topic during dinner now, after all, Snape's specimens It’s really… too disgusting.”

Cedric's words immediately won John's approval.

As a result, the topic among the few people naturally turned to Quidditch.

Link had no interest in this. He casually ignored Cedric and John's conversations from time to time, but his eyes were always focused on the corner of the faculty seat inside the auditorium.

There, Snape, who was dressed the same as yesterday, was enjoying lunch alone.

It was obvious that he, like Link, was very dissatisfied with the delicious menu at Hogwarts, so after reluctantly eating for a while, he frowned and left.

Seeing this, Link didn't hesitate at all, and quickly put down his knife and fork and followed.

Cedric and John, who were chatting passionately about Quidditch, didn't notice Link's sudden departure at all.

On the contrary, at the long Slytherin table, a beautiful girl surrounded by everyone suddenly stood up and followed Link and Snape out of the auditorium.

On the other side, Link's tracking operations continued.

Snape moved very quickly, especially for a young wizard like Link.

But relying on the rich experience he accumulated as a detective in his previous life, Link still fell behind him silently.

He had done this kind of thing so many times before that there was almost no chance of him missing it.

But when passing through a corner corridor, an accident happened.

Snape, who had been about 10 meters in front of Link, suddenly disappeared, and then a dark and cold voice sounded from behind Link.

"Ten points will be deducted from Hufflepuff for deliberately stalking the professor!"

This sudden sound did not scare Link. He slowly turned around and smiled as if nothing had happened:

"Good afternoon, Professor Snape."

"It's really good, but I believe it would be impossible if there wasn't a Chester (a magical creature that looks like a mixture of a dog and a pumpkin, and likes to follow humans. Because there is a lot of space in its belly, it is often used as a mobile Storage box.) It would be better if you follow me!" Snape gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me what you want from me, Mr. Foley!"

When Snape pronounced Link's name, he deliberately emphasized his tone and punctuated every word, which made his words sound like he was mocking Link's last name.

But after hearing this, Link didn't show much anger. Instead, he raised the corner of his mouth and said:

"Ah, I do have something to ask Professor Snape. Regarding my proposal last night, did Madam Pomfrey tell you? If so, what is your answer? "

As Link's voice slowly floated out, Snape's expression instantly became more gloomy.

Because Madam Pomfrey did tell him about Link's request, and it was still in the middle of the night.

Not only that, after he clearly refused, Madam Pomfrey specially pulled Dumbledore out of the bed in the office to 'persuad' him!

Snape's face even became distorted as he recalled how he had been 'persuaded' by Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey last night and finally had to accept this humiliating condition.

Link was very happy to see this scene.

He just liked to see Snape look like he was very unhappy but couldn't do anything about him.

And looking at Link's mean smile, the anger burning in Snape's heart became even more intense.

But in the end he restrained his anger and said coldly:

"Pomfrey did tell me about this, and I agreed. After all, the cost of making that kind of potion is very expensive. Since you are willing to let me drink it with you, I will naturally not refuse. Anyway, all expenses must be reimbursed by your mother."

"Oh, that puts me at ease. To be honest, I would still have some uneasy conscience if it were to use public funds from Hogwarts. After all, it is the common property of all the teachers and students of Hogwarts."

Link still said with a smile on his face.

He didn't care about the cost of the potion at all, because the wealth accumulated by the original owner's family over thousands of years was simply an astronomical amount, and his family could afford it no matter how expensive the potion was.

All in all, there was nothing to talk about between Link and Snape. The two just looked at each other with smiles, and the atmosphere at the scene instantly became weird.

Fortunately, this scene did not last long. After a while, Link saw Snape's face suddenly change, and he shouted vigilantly to the shadow of the corner beside the two of them:

"Who is there! Come out!"

Snape's sudden outburst startled Link. Not many people would follow the two of them here. Link instinctively thought of the faces of Cedric and John.

But when he really looked sideways, he discovered that it was Emily Victoria who walked out of the shadow.

For a moment, a trace of astonishment flashed across Link's face.

The vigilance on Snape's face gradually dissipated after he discovered that the person coming was Emily, and was replaced by a rare kindness.

"Emily, why are you here?"

"That's right, Professor Snape, I tried to make Polyjuice Potion once, but there were some problems, so I wanted to ask you for help."

Emily said expressionlessly, and then glanced at Link coldly.

Seeing this, Snape understood instantly. He first nodded towards Emily, and then said to Link with a gloomy look:

"Do you have anything else to do? Mr. Foley!"

It was still the same emphatic tone, but this time Link, who had achieved his original goal, did not choose to continue to pester. Instead, he shrugged his shoulders and turned away without hesitation.

Before leaving, his eyes stayed on Emily for a while.

This was the first time he heard Emily speak.

I have to say, this sound is nothing short of amazing!

It would be better if the tone could be gentler.

Thinking of this, Link shook his head with regret.
