I abducted HP's friend on his wedding day

Chapter 260 Differences in Times

Until Brace came to his senses and took Angus out, Angus didn't realize what was wrong with his behavior.

Even Tom has probably come to his senses at this time, but his hostility towards Angus will never let him pull Angus out of this anxious atmosphere temporarily like Brace did.

That day, the frightened students went back to their dormitories, and the professors also came to comfort them. Only Angus was still stunned, not understanding what he had done wrong.

Dumbledore called him to the headmaster's office.

In the principal's office, various strange sounds were vaguely heard. They were extremely quiet, like the sound of some mechanical activity, but you didn't know what was behind the scenes.

The Sorting Hat was rarely awake and looked at Angus with a sullen expression. It probably knew what happened and didn't know what it said to Dumbledore. It probably wasn't a pleasant outcome. The Sorting Hat sighed and revealed That human face simulated a bitter gourd face.

Dumbledore was silent for a long time before speaking to comfort Angus.

"Don't be afraid, it's not your fault."

Angus's voice was hoarse. He probably saw where he went wrong later, but he didn't understand why what he did was considered wrong.

"Professor Dumbledore...shouldn't I take action?" Angus wanted to defend himself. "I didn't know that everyone had never seen blood, and I didn't know that they would be frightened just seeing those little goblins die."

Dumbledore sighed and said: "Child, times are different. I think that in your time, a thousand years ago, your behavior might still be worthy of praise, right? You acted decisively and protected others. people."

However, it is different here.

"I'm sorry...did I get you into trouble?" Angus was in a bad mood thinking about the fearful expressions the students showed towards him. He knew that everyone was actually afraid of him, and he also knew that Slytherin students had always been afraid of him. Isolate yourself, but the isolation before was actually based on indifference, but now it is based on fear.

These two attitudes are very different after all.

Angus didn't want people to be afraid of him, even wizards, and he didn't want everyone he saw to look at him with undisguised fear.

Dumbledore was extremely regretful: "It's not your fault. The current era is peaceful enough. For young wizards and underage wizards, we don't need them to fight, so we have to protect them in some things. Those children didn't do it on purpose. , they have never seen such a bloody scene, and it is normal for them to be afraid of you."

Angus hung his head, looking depressed.

"But... Gordy, Hull, and Teacher Rowena, all they taught me... they all asked me to be clean and tidy when facing the enemy..." Angus looked extremely troubled. "Professor, Professor Dumbledore, my era is not peaceful, and there is no peace to speak of. Even at my age, I must learn to fight."

A thousand years ago, at Angus's age, some wizards were already warriors, warriors who needed to defend their families and homes.

"There's no way I can change my behavior...I still have to go back."

It was impossible for Angus to learn to be without vigilance like other students. He learned how to fight and how to kill enemies simply, any enemy that threatened his life, because the world a thousand years ago, For wizards, it's a world full of dangers.

To let Angus indulge in peace like other students is to murder him. After all, he does not belong to this era, but to that era that was still full of killings.

If it weren't for the high mortality rate for young wizards like Angus, perhaps Godric and Salazar wouldn't have thought about building Hogwarts later. Hogwarts is a school after all. Its original intention as a school is to let young wizards learn how to master magic and how to protect themselves.

Dumbledore knew very well how dangerous the world was a thousand years ago, and he also knew that the difference between Angus and other students could be said to be a deep gap that was still unbridgeable.

"Hogwarts is not dangerous, kid. I think at least you don't have to be alert all the time. There will be no enemies here, so you don't need to fight for the time being."

Dumbledore looked at Angus, but ultimately did not persuade Angus to give up his fighting instinct. It would be too dangerous for Angus. If he fell into such a comfortable atmosphere, it would be dangerous to go back.

This is probably the difference of the times...

When Angus returned to Slytherin, everyone looked at Angus with other emotions.

That's something Angus still can't understand for a while.

Only Blaise would kindly remind Angus. After all, Draco hit his head because of a goblin that Angus killed. He has not yet regained his composure and is emotionally broken. In Blaise's words, it's probably I don’t want to see Angus now.

"He will have nightmares at night, he said so himself, so he needs to stay alone and take a period of quiet time to calm down his mood."

Tom would just laugh at Draco for being a coward.

Blaise kindly reminded Angus: "Others are probably afraid of you. I don't know if this is a bad thing. After all, everyone knows that the wizards in Slytherin are all dark wizards. I'm talking about Slater." Lin’s wizard, the Slytherin family, has always had many dark wizards.”

Angus was silent.

"Furthermore, everyone knows that Slytherin's wizards are all cruel wizards, ruthless and extremely evil..." These adjectives are not very pleasant, and they sound like curses, but Blaise said it very sincerely. "So, there is nothing surprising about your behavior of killing the goblin. Although it was very bloody and made everyone feel terrible, it is not surprising if you consider that your surname is Slytherin. ,Right?"

Angus made no answer to this.

As time went by, the forgetful students gradually forgot what happened that day in Angus's silence.

Besides, Hogwarts is full of interesting things, and there will always be something to attract students' attention.

For example, Lockhart wants to create a dueling club.

At this time, the students, most of them, could see that Lockhart's reputation was not worthy of his name. Some students with more intense emotions even said bad things to him, thinking that he was the same as Professor Quirrell last semester, or even worse than him. Quirrell is even a worse professor.

Those who are more radical think that he is a wizard with no skills and a waste of everyone's time.

This voice of doubt is getting louder and louder in Hogwarts, and maybe the professor has heard something.

Therefore, he approached Professor Dumbledore and tried to start a dueling club, probably to divert students' attention and show off his strength.

Tom insinuated that he had no self-awareness, but in the increasingly boring days of Hogwarts, it was still very interesting to have a new dueling club.

So, on the first day, students who still had expectations for Lockhart, as well as students who were idle, most of the students in Hogwarts came to watch this so-called duel club.

No one expected that Lockhart would actually invite Professor Snape as his demonstration partner.

Angus didn't want to come. He had no restrictions on his actions. He was afraid that he would hurt others in this so-called duel, so he didn't plan to come.

However, Tom was still very interested, so he dragged him along.

Seeing that Snape was about to give Lockhart a demonstration, Tom looked at Lockhart with disbelief.

"Does he know Snape's strength? Did he do it on purpose? Looking for a fight like this?"

Tom asked three questions in succession, his face full of shock.

Hearing Tom's voice, Blaise crossed his arms, looked at Lockhart teasingly, and said, "I bet Dean Snape can kill this guy in one move!"

After seeing that Lockhart might not have much ability, even the most tactful Blaise didn't bother to give Lockhart any respect.

Draco also had a speechless expression on his face: "Does he want to die?"

"It is said that Professor Lockhart wants to write a book about me and Hogwarts. Is this also to have more climax points in the story?"

Several people looked behind them and saw Daphne talking to Pansy, and they didn't know where she got the news.

"Where's Millicent?" Blaise asked casually as the girls were walking together.

"Opposite, next to Granger of Gryffindor House." Pansy replied angrily.

Indeed, Millicent ran to Hermione on the opposite side, not knowing what they were talking about.

"When did they become familiar with each other?" Draco was surprised.

Pansy rolled her eyes and replied: "Maybe it's because we don't know each other until we fight..."

At this time, Lockhart began to demonstrate with Snape, motioning the students to look at him and Snape.

Pansy retracted her other words and looked over seriously. She must at least give Snape, the dean, face, right?

Just as Blaise had imagined, Lockhart was defeated by Snape simply and quickly, even a little embarrassed.

But he was indeed very powerful, especially when it came to the issue of thick skin. In short, Lockhart acted as if nothing had happened and invited a bunch of students to the stage to give a demonstration.

In this world, Harry does not have the title of savior. He is just an ordinary student in Gryffindor House. He probably has the aura of being the best chaser in Gryffindor House, and he also has a Gryffindor. He has many titles such as the most naughty student, but his fame did not attract Lockhart's special attention.

As a result, Lockhart's eyes traveled around, and he saw Angus appear under the stands, and he looked at Angus, and quickly changed the target. It is estimated that Angus left a great psychological impact on him. shadow.

"So, this is...Riddle?" Lockhart naturally didn't want to invite Angus to come on and give a demonstration. He didn't even want to see Angus, so his eyes fell on Tom next to Angus. , after all, Tom's handsome little face is still very eye-catching in the crowd.

Tom raised his head, looked at Lockhart, and made sure that Lockhart was talking about him. He reluctantly stood up and walked onto the stage. According to Tom's own thoughts, he was naturally unwilling to do this demonstration.

Then, Lockhart began to find a student in Gryffindor House to compete with Tom.

He soon noticed a bunch of red hair in Gryffindor House. It had to be said that the Weasley family's red hair was really eye-catching.

Lockhart ignored the first-year Ginny, and his eyes circled around Ron.

Ron was excited and realized that he was likely to be selected. Naturally, he was unwilling to go up, so he simply ducked and hid behind his brother Percy.

Therefore, Lockhart, who saw Ron's attitude, although regretful, still named Neville Longbottom next to Ron.

This is very unexpected, because Neville Longbottom is a student who performs very poorly in almost all courses. He looks very dull in retrospect and always forgets things. This makes other Hogwarts students The professors all felt very distressed, and there was no way they could change easily regardless of whether they were smart or not.

Neville Longbottom never thought that he would be called out by Lockhart. He stood up very nervously, and then stood beside Lockhart, shivering.

Lockhart was very happy and began to repeat the rules of the duel, and then showed the two people how to fight.

Angus complained below: "If you have this time to bend down and bow, wouldn't it be enough to just give the opponent a death curse? How convenient?"

It is very convenient.

Draco whispered: "Not only did he quickly defeat his opponent, but he also sent himself to Azkaban. It's really beautiful."

Angus realized that what he said was wrong again, so he simply shut up and didn't want to talk anymore.

The three views of the two people are at odds...

Draco didn't realize this, and said, "Speaking of which, where did that guy Theodore go?"

Brace replied: "He wasn't interested in the event, so he didn't come."

Draco also grumbled: "I'm not interested anymore, can I go first?"

Blaise shook his head: "Forget it, did you see anyone leaving? Even some students who were dissatisfied with Lockhart, didn't they leave?"

While several people in the audience were discussing in low voices, the situation on the battle stage also changed.

Neville Longbottom's spell that he was going to shoot at Tom missed, and the spell fell directly on Lockhart's head. As the students screamed one after another, Lockhart's hair caught fire.

Neville Longbottom was horrified and hiccupped repeatedly, trying to explain that he didn't mean to do it.

Unfortunately, at this time, everyone was just staring at Neville Longbottom, but no aura could be detected at all.

Lockhart reacted greatly, he really cared about his appearance.

He screamed, then jumped up, running as fast as he could in his life, and ran to who knows where.
