Professor of Gemology at Hogwarts

"I am also responsible for my professorship. As a professor, I see people who should not be present in Hogwarts. For the safety of my students, I have the responsibility to ask... Are you right?"

Lucius was obviously angry.

"I heard that Professor Morris has researched stones?"

"That's right, Mr. Malfoy."

"It seems that what kind of people study what kind of things." Lucius mocked, "Few people are interested in rigid, stubborn, and motionless stones. Professor Morris is really devoted to research."

"Indeed, some people study dark magic and even almost send themselves to Azkaban." Gray said with a smile, "Ah, no offense, I forgot that you were cast under the Imperius Curse!"

"Shut up! You uneducated guy!"

"Besides, not everyone can study crystal stones. I want to study all the stones I can see around me, but sometimes it doesn't necessarily look like a stone to be a stone -" He looked at Lucius forehead, "It's also possible that some people are carrying something on their necks."

Lucius's eyes were full of anger, his mouth was pursed into a straight line, and his right hand had already grasped the handle of the crutch (the wand was inside the crutch), as if he would pull out the wand at any moment.

"Good afternoon, Gray. I was going downstairs to take a walk in the yard when I happened to run into you."

When the two heard the sound, they both looked at Dumbledore who was walking towards him. Dumbledore smiled at Gray and turned his head to Lucius.

"Ah - Lucius, it turns out you are still here. After you left my office just now, I thought you would leave Hogwarts immediately."

"Yes, I do want to leave immediately, but I just met a arrogant professor." Lucius gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, "I have a friend who happens to have a batch of good stones... and wants to serve as a teacher. Bispar researchers should be able to identify them, right?"

"Of course." Gray smiled half-heartedly.

"...Very good!" Lucius raised his chin, "I will ask him to send it to you. I hope you can study it carefully...Dobby, let's go!"

Dumbledore looked at Lucius who was walking away with a calm smile.

"What a wonderful conversation," Dumbledore said leisurely.

"Were you always here?" Gray suppressed his anger.

"Forgive me, Gray, I just don't want to disturb your conversation -" Dumbledore touched his pocket, "I still have some cockroaches here, would you like some?"

"No need, Principal." Gray stuffed the detention list into the inner pocket of his wizard robe, "You keep it to eat, I have something to do, goodbye!"

Things have developed unconventionally, and he should be prepared for what happens next.

It's almost dinner time now, and Kettleburn should go to the Forbidden Forest by this time.He immediately went downstairs, left the castle through the gate, and walked quickly to the hunting ground at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

In the process, he saw Lucius not far away walking towards the iron gate of the school step by step, preparing to leave Hogwarts in a carriage.

At the hunting ground by the Forbidden Forest, Kettleburn was loading meat into a barrel. Fortunately, Pudding was there, chasing his two tails in circles.

"Good afternoon! Professor Kettleburn!"

"Oh! Oh! Professor Morris, you're here again!" Kettleburn greeted enthusiastically, "I'm going to feed the thestrals and hawksbills in the Forbidden Forest! Look, Pudding is greedy when he sees me cutting meat. !”

After saying that, he picked up the bucket and said, "I'm going to deliver dinner to them first. Gray, do you want to come with me?"

"No, I'm just passing by. It's dinner time in 10 minutes. I'm going to the auditorium." Gray was a little anxious. He hoped Kettleburn would leave quickly and deliberately lied about the time.

"What?! There are still 10 minutes? Then I will send the meat over first, and we will talk later! They must be starving, and we can't delay! I didn't expect that I have been delayed for so long!" Kettleburn mentioned Bucket, limping away.

Gray immediately took out his wand and cast a confusion spell on Pudding, who was chasing his tail in circles. Pudding then looked at Gray in confusion.

To be on the safe side, he cast another transformation spell, turning it into a pure black ordinary hound, then squatted down and said to Pudding: "Good dog, go and tear off Lucius Malfoy's cloak, quick!" That's too late!"

After saying that, Pudding, who transformed into a hound, quickly ran towards the door.

Lucius was leaning on a cane that showed his gentlemanly demeanor and was about to step into the carriage when a dark figure suddenly ran behind him.

"Woof! Woof!" Pudding ran over and bit Lucius's black cloak.

"Damn it! Where did the mad dog come from!" Lucius hit Pudding hard with his cane, but Pudding dodged it.

He was stepping on the carriage step with one foot and the ground with the other.The cloak was pulled hard by Pudding, almost pulling him down, and the scene was very chaotic.

Dobby opened his eyes wide and rubbed his hands at a loss, hesitating whether to rush forward.

Lucius quickly pulled out his wand and cast a banishing spell on Pudding. Pudding was ejected in the next second, and at the same time it tore off Lucius's cloak.

Then it ran away into the forbidden forest with its cloak in its mouth.

"What were you doing just now! Dobby! Useless thing!" He roared at Dobby and threw the remaining fabric on his shoulder to the ground.

"Who is this mad dog! It's dead!" Lucius was in a very, very bad mood now. "The school is not allowed to keep this smelly thing. I will find out!"

Not far away, Gray was hiding next to the hunting ground and admiring all this. Anyway, Lucius would never know whose dog this was.

Then he found Pudding at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, took the cloak and left.

……

Arnold would send a letter every once in a while, almost like an old woman, nagging and complaining about what he had experienced recently.

Most of the letters sent complained about his rigid partner Enolyn Hill, and said that he really couldn't stand Hill. In order to get rid of this person, he was preparing to jump to the hitter position.In addition, he mentioned a few words about the current situation of the Ministry of Magic:

The Ministry of Magic's review of Arthur Weasley is coming to an end and he faces a fine.But Lucius Malfoy was dedicated to putting pressure on the Ministry of Magic to expel Weasley.

It seems that just two years after Cornelius Fudge took office, Lucius Malfoy has already reached out to the Ministry of Magic.

……

In the next few days, Hogwarts remained calm.

But Gray was anything but peaceful.Creevey escaped, which means that what happens in the future will be increasingly different from the original direction. Now he does not know when the attack will occur and who will be attacked. Students may not all be so lucky and The basilisks looked at each other indirectly, and they would most likely die.

He was grading papers in his office, fiddling with the Vesuvius stone on the table from time to time. The basilisk did not attack anyone, but it made him even more worried.

There was a knock on the door of the office. He moved the Vesuvius stone next to the paper and pushed the pile of parchment papers aside.

"Please come in."
