Hogwarts Staff Maker

Chapter 73 Preparations before Confinement

The next day, the three little ones were in an extremely low mood. Because of them, Gryffindor's score dropped by 200 points overnight!

Many people thought it was a mistake, but when the news that Harry and his friends were caught while strolling at night was posted on the Hogwarts forum, Liu Sen and his three companions became the most unpopular people!

Wherever they went, people would openly sneer at them. Even the honest Hufflepuffs and smart Ravenclaws treated them coldly - they had originally hoped that Gryffindor could defeat Slytherin!

Malfoy from Slytherin became arrogant. He was also deducted 50 points by Snape, but he boasted that he had used his wisdom to trick several people out and made them deduct 200 points!

Harry, who used to be loved and cared for wherever he went, was now unwelcome. Even during Quidditch training, his teammates didn't talk to him, and only called him "seeker" when they had no choice.

Only Fred and George smiled and advised them not to take it to heart, and that everyone would forget about it after a while.

Hermione didn't speak for the whole day. She just read and studied quietly, trying to use the huge amount of books and test questions to make herself forget about the deducted points.

The only one among the four who was not affected was Liu Sen. He ate and drank as usual, and was even a little excited!

Because Professor McGonagall said that in addition to deducting points, they would also be punished by detention!

Solitary confinement does not literally mean finding a small dark room to lock up the person who made the mistake. Instead, it means assigning work and tasks according to the situation.

Detention meant doing drudgery like cleaning the medal room, sweeping the toilets, helping Filch deal with graffiti by little wizards, or recharging his magic spray gun.

But Liu Sen knew that what was waiting for them was something else - patrolling the Forbidden Forest!

If you think about it carefully, it is totally irrational to let a first-year wizard patrol the Forbidden Forest which is full of dangers.

What's more, the final exams are not long away, why go there at this critical moment? It can only be said that Dumbledore has put a lot of effort into training Harry!

But Liu Sen certainly couldn't just sit there and wait to die. In such a dangerous place, he had to be fully prepared!

What pots and pans, cumin and chili peppers, iron pans, grills... Hmm? Forbidden Forest? Wrong, start over!

Liu Sen, Cedric and the twin brothers, the three R&D experts, met one by one and put their research results of this period into their backpacks!

In exchange, Liu Sen took out his treasured Chinese specialties - spicy strips, instant noodles, Chinese pastries, Muggle soda, etc. as a thank you!

The two sides handed over equipment in one hand and snacks in the other! If the atmosphere between the two sides was not harmonious, Liu Sen would really feel like a gangster picking up goods!

Harry came back from his evening study and told Liu Sen, Ron and Hermione worriedly: He accidentally saw Quirrell talking to someone in a very frightened manner. From the content of the conversation, it was guessed that someone was going to take action against the Philosopher's Stone guarded by Fluffy!

But except for Liu Sen, the three little ones who had just been deducted points had lost their former spirit of exploration and hesitated to take further action.

The next day, Liu Sen and others received a notice from Professor McGonagall: detention will start at 11 o'clock tonight, and look for Filch in the hall.

The sullen trio thought this was the punishment they deserved and said nothing more.

At half past ten, Liu Sen put on his backpack early and left the Gryffindor Tower with a few people with excitement on his face.

When he arrived at the hallway first, Felzi had just arrived.

He held a magic shotgun in his hand, bowed slightly to Liu Sen and said, "Master Liu Sen! I didn't expect you to be implicated! I went to Professor McGonagall, but she insisted on having you put in detention together!"

Liu Sen didn't expect Filch to intercede for him. He said indifferently, "It's okay, Argus! This is an adventure for me too. I've always wanted to go to the Forbidden Forest!"

But Filch looked around nervously. Seeing that Harry and the others hadn't come close yet, he whispered, "You don't know! I heard that things in the Forbidden Forest are not very peaceful recently! Be careful if you encounter anything unusual!"

He organized his words and said, "I... I know you are very powerful! But the things inside are very evil!"

By this time, Harry and the other three had already walked up to them dejectedly, so Filch dropped the subject, but was still worried about Liu Sen's safety.

As soon as they arrived, Malfoy also rushed over. Harry and the others immediately showed disgusted expressions.

Malfoy smiled wickedly, gloating over the fact that several people had been deducted 200 points.

Seeing that all the punished little wizards had arrived, Filch took the lead and walked out of the castle. After taking a few steps, he stopped and waved towards the darkness behind him.

Liu Sen had already discovered that it was Peeves! After seeing Liu Sen approaching, it hid in the dark and dared not come out.

Seeing Filch waving, Peeves mustered up the courage to fly over and floated not far in front of them, using the faint blue light it emitted as a night light.

Seeing Liu Sen looking at him with a smile, Peeves said quickly, "Good evening, Master Liu... Master Liu Sen!"

Liu Sen nodded with satisfaction: "Good evening Peeves, I heard that you have caught many little wizards who made mistakes recently, you did a good job!"

But Peeves was even more terrified, for it was he who had caught Harry and the others! He trembled immediately, and the faint light he emitted dimmed.

Liu Sen smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I don't blame you! What I mean is that you found something to do besides pranks, which is good. Keep up the good work!"

Peeves looked at the 'little devil' Liu Sen and then at Filch. Seeing that he was really not blamed, he felt relieved and returned to the team to continue acting as a 'head-shaped night light'!

The moonlight is bright tonight, but when dark clouds pass by, it becomes pitch black. At this time, Peeves' role is highlighted, and it is quite useful!

Everyone was very quiet along the way, but if Liu Sen was not among the young wizards, Filch would definitely have ridiculed the few people who made mistakes and complained about the fact that the headmaster did not allow him to use torture instruments.

When we got to Hagrid's house, he was putting a collar on the hound Fang. "I didn't expect you guys to come so early!"

Filch hummed in a sarcastic tone, which was considered an answer. But he immediately whispered to Liu Sen, "Master, you must follow this big fool closely. He may not be very smart, but he is big enough! If you encounter danger, hide behind him!"

Liu Sen shook his head. These two people have never gotten along and disliked each other. They will have to mediate in the future!

In a sense, they, one is a doorman and the other is a security guard. They should help each other, but they secretly create a chain of contempt.

Filch was to blame for more of the mistakes, and there was a reason why he was unpopular all these years.

He speaks in a sarcastic way and has a weird temper. But he is not completely useless. No matter how dirty or tiring the work is, Filch will try his best to complete it, even if he does not know magic and uses stupid methods to make 10 times the effort to complete it! He has been working diligently for many years, working late and getting up early, and not asking for overtime pay!

Since we need to resolve the conflict, it’s better to do it now than to wait for a better day!
