[Comprehensive] Those years when I memorized the Analects of Confucius

There must be near worries.

Kong Yun finally chose to hand over this unusual mouse of unknown origin to Professor Sprout right away.

He got permission, and when he pushed the door and came in, Professor Sprout was taking care of a sleepy magical plant. The latter raised his head, and when he saw the small cage in his hand, the herbology professor's eyes flashed There was a trace of surprise, but she didn't ask any questions, only showed a kind smile, and gently asked him to sit down.

Kong Yun took a deep breath, he thought about his wording, and then expressed his doubts and thoughts in a few words.

There is no need for extra embellishments, more concealment, or half-truths and half-false explanations. Some things, if you want to truly maintain a neutral position, not get involved, and keep an appropriate distance is the best choice.

What's more, he really doesn't know anything.

Head Hufflepuff listened intently as he spoke slowly about his discovery.

From the outside, this witch, whose robes are all patched and dressed very plainly no matter what the occasion, seems more like a part-time worker at Hogwarts than a professor at Hogwarts—but this is not the case. It does not affect his trust and admiration for the dean.

It's not that he doesn't trust Dumbledore as the headmaster of Hogwarts, since his understanding of headmaster Dumbledore is limited, it's hard to say whether he can fully trust him.Secondly, the position of Headmaster Dumbledore is different from that of Professor Sprout after all, and the scope he needs to consider will only be wider. In some details, it is bound to be impossible to cover everything.

There will also be... some sacrifices.

"I understand." Sprout nodded, her expression was as gentle as ever.She didn't immediately accept Kong Yun's statement and made a promise.But he was not indifferent to his question, and completely denied it: "I will pass this matter on to Professor Dumbledore. Before that, please don't tell anyone about this matter, so as not to cause unnecessary panic, okay ?"

Kong Yun nodded readily.

After entrusting the matter to Professor Sprout simply and completely, Kong Yun didn't pay attention to it any more. Even when Hermione told him that Ron had lost his pet mouse, Scabbers, he just smiled slightly, and naturally smiled slightly. After this topic, it's as if nothing happened.

Everything seemed to have nothing to do with him anymore.

However, just when he thought that everything would be over, Kong Yun received an invitation from the headmaster of Hogwarts to meet in his office.

This invitation was not unexpected. No matter what happened to the mouse, as the headmaster, Dumbledore would definitely confirm everything from beginning to end, even if it was to prevent some details from being missed.

"...That's how things are." After repeating the explanation given by Professor Sprout, Kong Yun became quiet, almost bluntly expressing his disinterest in the follow-up events.

Dumbledore stared quietly at the boy in front of him.

He could tell that the young man in front of him didn't lie, nor did he intend to hide anything. In other words, he once had a chance to get close to the truth, but out of certain considerations, he chose to stop at the gate of the truth In addition, and express their attitude and position to the fullest - up to you, do not participate, not interested.

This is his attitude and his answer.

"Although your expression tells me that you don't want to know the follow-up of these things." Dumbledore said bluntly, the junior Hufflepuff on the opposite side was slightly surprised, but he smiled instead: "But I must praise you With keen observation, you let an innocent person get justice, and you let a criminal get the punishment he deserved."

Kong Yun pursed his lips and did not speak.

Dumbledore easily caught the similar unhappiness from the boy's expression, but he was not discouraged: "Would you like a piece of coconut candy?" He took out a large box of colorful candies from under the table as if by magic, and enthusiastically pushed to his front.

Kong Yun did not refuse this behavior that seemed to ease the atmosphere. He took out a dark coconut candy from the box, but did not push it away, but just held it in his palm.

"It's nothing," he said, polite and distant: "I just did what a normal student should do."

For a moment, Kong Yun accurately captured the disappointment-like emotion from the other party, but he was unmoved: "Can I leave? Professor Dumbledore." He was still polite and insisted: " I still have some learning problems, and I want to consult Professor Snape."

Up to now, Kong Yun has been trying his best to avoid contacting those fields that he shouldn't be in contact with: for example, as a Chinese person through and through, he has absolutely no need to stand in a certain camp of British wizards, and he must not easily show their bias.

Behind him, after all, stood a family.Even if he doesn't think he can represent anything, in many cases, what is needed to drag one party into the water is actually just an excuse.

Dumbledore gave him a deep look.

"You are right. For a student, learning is indeed more important than many things." He said gently, "Go, you will get a satisfactory answer."

The junior Hufflepuff stood up from his seat, bowed politely to the elder in front of him, turned and walked towards the gate.

"One last question." Just as he reached out to grab the doorknob, a voice behind him suddenly sounded: "How about coconut sugar?"

Kong Yun lowered his eyes slightly, as if the little coconut candy was still quietly lying in his palm: "It's very sweet." He said, and pushed open the door of the principal's office.

Returning to the quiet corridor, Kong Yun stared at the end of the corridor, dazed for a while, then he decided to do what he said - he turned a corner and walked down the spiral staircase , to the direction of the potions professor's office in the cellar.

Along the way, I met many Slytherins I knew or didn’t know, but this time, most of the Slytherins chose to turn a blind eye to his appearance, and those who accidentally collided with his eyes often He silently looked away.

Under such circumstances, he quickly came to Snape's office unimpeded.

He knocked on the door, and within a short while, a black-robed, black-haired and dark-faced Potions professor appeared in front of him. Head Slytherin lowered his head, glared at him, and said in a bad tone, "Which one are you talking about?" Did the guy get beaten up? Or was Mr. Filch's labor service not impressive enough to make you change your mind and come to me for punishment?"

As fierce as ever.

Kong Yun turned a blind eye to this, or to a certain extent, he has been able to understand and get used to the Potions professor's unique way of speaking-although he doesn't quite understand why the other party can always put " What are you doing here?" This simple sentence is so...complicated.

"The improved version of the hypnotizer that was agreed last time," he opened the lid of the box in his hand, revealing the neatly arranged hypnotizers inside: "This is the finished product after my research. I would like you to take a look at it for me."

Snape had planned to slam the door of the office unceremoniously after he finished his first sentence, letting it hit the junior Hufflepuff's nose directly.

He didn't remember any Hufflepuff who got into trouble with a fight and "got a deal".

However, the whole row of hypnotic agents in the other party's box that seemed to be the same, but were obviously different made him change his mind slightly——

That day, he just casually mentioned the suitable direction of the hypnotizer, and he didn't even say the specific direction, but the other party thought about it based on this little bit of inspiration and direction, and made such a comprehensive variety of hypnotics. possible……

Not too stupid either.

Holding the mentality of being picky and scolding the lower grade Hufflepuffs after the inspection, the head of Slytherin snorted softly and walked into his office without looking back, leaving only The opponent has a menacing back.

Kong Yun was not nervous either, he even calmly patted the non-existing dust on his robe, and then slowly followed Snape's footsteps into the office.

Without unnecessary nonsense, Kong Yun lined up several bottles of hypnotics with different concentrations and properties, and before the Potions professor could speak, he handed over a small black leather notebook on his own initiative.

Snape gave him a dark look before taking the notebook.

It is full of every process of the other party from proposing conjectures, to conducting experiments, verifying conjectures, and using conclusions to improve the potion. The thinking is clear and well-founded. The difference in efficacy and the lethality rate affected by different concentrations are all clearly written.

Until Head Slytherin closed the small notebook in his hand, he had a cloudy and uncertain expression on his face.

Even if he wanted to be picky, Snape had to admit that this student almost achieved a level of comprehensiveness that many adult wizards couldn't achieve in experiments, but...

The Potions professor raised his eyes slightly, and his gaze met the boy's eyes that happened to be full of anticipation. This made him chuckle, and said casually: "Barely, at least it doesn't make me feel intrusive."

Then he subtly discovered that the junior Hufflepuff was not depressed at all because of his words—the pair of light brown eyes seemed brighter, and the joy in the pupils could be seen at a glance, even when bowing seriously His expression and tone were sincere and sincere: "Thank you for your guidance, Professor Snape."

Snape:? ? ?Can this person understand human speech?

Not knowing what his professor was thinking at all, the young man asked in a cheerful tone: "Professor Snape, if I have other questions about potions in the future, can I still come to you for help?"

The head of Slytherin didn't want to talk.

He began to think about a very practical question: why his expressions and tone, which are always invincible, have miraculous effects on all Hogwarts students, and can cause serious damage to Hufflepuff, are useless this time?

Or is this Hufflepuff too stupid to be afraid?
