Professor of Gemology at Hogwarts

Creevey said calmly: "I met George and Fred on the way to the hospital, and then——"

Creevey glanced at Gray and looked away in panic.

"Then?"

"Then the two of them kept coughing and made a fuss. Seeing that Filch heard the coughing and wanted to chase after him, we ran all the way back to the lounge... I swear we went back very early, it was just twelve o'clock I went back soon..."

"What did they do?"

Creevey hesitated and refused to say, he didn't want to betray those two people, but was frightened by Gray's eyes and said: "They... they went to the administrator's office... planned to stuff two of them under Filch's pillow. The big dung egg... But when Filch discovered it, he ran away and met me..."

Gray rubbed his brows and let out a long sigh. This time, he mistakenly disrupted everything he planned to develop.

George and Fred went to the administrator's office to cause trouble and were caught coughing.This is actually the effect of the bottle of gorse petal sap spray that Gray gave to Filch before - people with bad intentions will be choked and cough when they get close to the spray range.

"Sir." Creevey saw Gray sigh, feeling increasingly uneasy.

What to do now?If the students didn't show up for the first time they were attacked, will the Duel Club thing happen again?Will Harry still know that he is a Parseltongue?

"First... sir?" Creevey was very nervous when he saw that the professor didn't speak. He tried to call again, hoping that the professor in front of him would let them go. He didn't want to be caught and imprisoned by Filch, and he didn't want George and George to be detained. Fred knew he had betrayed them.

"Yeah." Gray responded in a low voice, "Since you didn't make any noise this time, I won't do it next time."

"Okay! Sir!" Creevey nodded quickly, "I will never run out in the middle of the night again!"

Gray thought about how Creevey could have taken refuge outside the school during the Battle of Hogwarts, but sneaked back to school to participate in the battle and was eventually killed.

"Never do something you can't bear. Don't force it. Creevey, I hope you remember this sentence..." Gray's eyes relaxed, "I know that many people have an adventurous spirit and are young and energetic. . But sometimes saving life is the first priority. The prerequisite for a person to continue taking risks is to stay alive."

Creevey nodded in understanding, and he breathed a sigh of relief. At least Professor Morris wouldn't punish them this time.

The Hogwarts campus is still calm, and everyone has gradually forgotten about the attack on Mrs. Norris. Even Filch is a little used to the days when Mrs. Norris is not around. You can think so - Filch The rag in Qi's hand now is his new love. He carries it with him every day and wipes it wherever he goes.

Gray also rarely saw the Harry trio, probably hiding in the women's bathroom preparing Polyjuice Potion.Seeing that there was no chance to talk to them alone, he decided to say something during class.

"Okay, look at how distracted you are." Gray put the crystal on the podium, "It's been a long time since Mrs. Norris was attacked, but I can still hear some people discussing that the murderer was the basilisk in the chamber. What."

"Dumbledore and the professors will find out who the attacker is. Even if they haven't found out yet, we can't blindly guess that there is a basilisk hidden in the secret room. You know, it is rumored that looking at the basilisk will kill it. So it's impossible for it to petrify the cat." Gray knocked on the table, "This is an illogical guess, unless you have some other explanation."

"Listen, hopefully next time I hear people talking about something other than basilisks, petrification, chambers of secrets, you know?"

Gray saw Hermione's eyes light up, as if she had thought of something.

Another week has passed, and Gray has been worried these days whether other students will be attacked...or even killed, but in fact it has been very peaceful these days, and no student has been harmed.

Gray was sorting out the petrified wood. He was getting better and better at controlling the magic power erupted from the curse, so he brought back more and more from the Forbidden Forest each time.

However, being able to do it all the time will make people complacent, and no matter how skilled they are, they may overturn. The petrified wood that Gray knocked down this time was half larger than before, and he spent a lot of effort to control it.

After cleaning up the messy office, he went to the tower to replace McGonagall and was responsible for collecting the list of Gryffindor classmates who stayed at school for Christmas.

However, in Hogwarts Castle, he met someone who shouldn't be there - Lucius Malfoy.

Lucius was followed by a house elf, which must be Dobby. It had two big bat-like ears and a pair of protruding green eyes as big as tennis balls.

He walked towards him, and Gray stopped and went up to greet him.

"Hello, Mr. Malfoy."

Lucius stopped suddenly and glanced sideways at Gray. Dobby, who was following behind him, didn't have time to react and bumped into his leg and was kicked away by him.

"I am the crystal professor, Gray Morris."

Lucius narrowed his eyes and slowly turned around, facing Gray: "Are you Professor Morris, the person who studies crystal stones?"

"Yes, I know a thing or two about crystal stones." Gray smiled politely.

Lucius looked Gray up and down, his eyes locked on Gray's robe.

"It seems that Dumbledore is a bit random in hiring professors. When I came to the school just now, I found that the environment was much cleaner than before." Lucius looked at Gray with contempt.

Gray forced a smile and didn't respond.

"I thought that working in an environment where even the candlesticks were polished to reflect light would affect the school's staff and make them cleaner and more respectable. But it doesn't seem to be the case." Lucius glanced at Gray's robe again .

Gray followed his gaze and looked down to see blood stains on his chest. It must be that when he had just controlled the curse of petrified wood, the explosion splashed the crow's blood on his body.

"Oh - what is the reason why you, a school director who thinks you are as elegant and noble as a white peacock, have to come to the school in person and walk here like me, an unscrupulous professor?"

Dobby was behind him and looked up nervously at Gray. He might not have expected that someone would dare to mock his master like this.

Lucius heard what Gray meant, and his eyes showed anger and disdain.

"I'm just here as a school director to take a look at the current situation of the school." He raised his tone and said slowly, "At least I will fulfill my duties as a school director, instead of wandering around the corridor like a professor who is not doing his job, or even being very useless. Li is too talkative, right?"

Gray sneered and took a look at the situation at school?It should be to see why there was no noise in the secret room.

If any students pass by at this time, they will see Professor Morris and Mr. Malfoy standing in the middle of the corridor, staring at each other without saying a word.
