"—at least two-thirds of the students at Hogwarts saw your dreadful tricks! Stupid boy! You'll pay for it! A whole term of confinement! Not a single day less!"

The Head of Slytherin House almost snarled at the boy sitting in the chair angrily, almost spraying spit in his face.Scorpius shrank himself into the large soft armchair in the principal's office in fear.

In fact, Scorpius certainly knew he would pay for his actions, the worst of which could be expulsion - for trying to attack a professor.But before that, all the punishments he could imagine would definitely not include enduring the wrath and yelling from the head of Slytherin...it was really scary, and in most cases, their head was a persistent and graceful person... …Yes, yes, yes, Severus Snape behaved gracefully in most situations, despite his perennial black robes and "poor" or "extremely poor" personal hygiene.

At this moment, the principal's office was very quiet except for the angry roar of the professor. Only Professor Dumbledore sat behind the chair without saying a word, and looked at the restless two with worry and kindness from behind the half-moon-shaped lens. A young Slytherin in the first grade, Phoenix Fawkes was obviously frightened by the potions professor's roar. It flapped its wings on the breath wood, moved back and forth restlessly, and let out two gentle calls.

And other than that, the only living thing in the room was the white ferret that wrapped itself around Scorpius' neck like an ermine collar.Now, the white creature let out a little grunt of approval at Professor Snape's snarl, then sat up, leaped gracefully over the boy's shoulders and landed on the Headmaster's desk, rear paws up , scratching his ears lazily.

"Oh my God, don't be like this, Draco, this is Black's favorite movement." Scorpius froze for a moment, then reached out and took the ferret off the principal's desk and put it back in his arms. The ferret made dissatisfied noises and even tried to bite his finger with his mouth, but finally calmed down obediently in the boy's arms under his stubborn insistence.

"Don't be angry, please sit down, Severus, would you like some honey butter milk?" The headmaster looked at the little interaction in front of him with all his attention. "No, thank you, thank you!" The Potions Professor snorted coldly ), after everything stopped, the bearded old man said cheerfully, "... we did have some little troubles--Little Mr. Gretel, but if I were to comment on your conduct from a non-principal's point of view, I would have to say, Maybe you're right."

"As a Slytherin, he burned the entire Slytherin table—that's the right thing to do as a Gryffindor," Snape hissed sarcasticly, "You should Pleased with that, Mr. Great, we'll all have to sit down on the floor tonight for a fancy dinner—because there's no table."

Scorpius felt ashamed, his lips squirmed weakly, and he said, "But, but, that Moody was standing at the Slytherin table at that time—"

"Professor Moody, my child." Dumbledore reminded gently.

"Well, Professor Moody." Scorpius repeated dryly. "I don't think any professor would punish a student by transfiguring them into animals. I thought it was not allowed."

"It seems that your brain is not completely broken, because that is really not allowed." With flat unemphasized sarcasm, a strong hand pulled the ferret from Scorpius' arms.Severus Snape lifted the light, hideous creature between two fingers by a bit of fur from the neck of the all-white ferret, watching the silvery-gray eyes of his lovely godson now turn into mung beans. Size, and settled on a furry face - definitely not a pleasant discovery.

He let out a snort of disgust, and threw the ferret roughly back into the young Slytherin's lap.Turning stiffly to the Headmaster, the Potions Professor changed the target of his anger—"Fix this! Dumbledore! By the way, I think Gryffindor needs to deduct a hundred points as the price!"

Scorpius pursed his lips. If he guessed correctly, the red hourglass belonging to Gryffindor at the end of the corridor is missing a whole lot of gems.

"If it will stop you from yelling at me, Severus," said the old Headmaster indulgently, pulling out his ancient wand, which looked like a withered twig ready to snap, and lit it. At this point, a chair immediately appeared beside Professor Snape, the latter's facial muscles twitched rapidly, and finally chose to sit down.Seeing that his Potions Professor finally showed signs of compromise, Dumbledore secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and his blue eyes instantly became brighter——

"Perhaps you haven't noticed," said Snape, emphatically drawn out mockingly, "your eyes always twinkled when you were calculating, Dumbledore, and now they are twinkling again."

"Oh, Severus, your keen observation skills are really frightening." The old headmaster smiled calmly, "I just found out that there has been a guest waiting outside the door for a long time—" The one-eyed witch in front of the door of the headmaster's office The statue jumped sideways with the landing of his last syllable, and Professor McGonagall, the Transfiguration Professor and Head of Gryffindor, walked in quickly on high heels, her wand in her hand, The expression didn't look much better than Snape's, even equally angry, which surprised Scorpius.

Scorpius jerked to his feet, and the ferret, which had slipped to the ground at his sudden movement, was now slapping his calf with its tiny paws angrily.

"—never a professor would use this method to punish a student, never! Albus!" Professor McGonagall yelled angrily as he rushed to the headmaster, "I told you! Moody must be punished." Necessary training before taking office! And you never told me—oh! Merlin! Mr. Gretel, why are you here?" As if realizing that there was another student in the office, Professor McGonagall seemed frightened Her pointy wizard hat cocked comically to one side, and she was now eyeing the second-year Slytherin in front of her with a probing look.

Scorpius realized that his face was flushing, maybe in a fancy way of saying it looked like a tomato?He cleared his throat and said with difficulty, "Because of the chaos in the auditorium, Professor, I have to bring Mr. Malfoy here so that his body won't be trampled by other students."

"Yes, I heard what Granger said." Professor McGonagall nodded in a shallow way, "The auditorium was in chaos, all the long tables of Slytherin were destroyed, and Ravenclaw's There's only a third of the table left - but every Slytherin looks happy, like Christmas is back. Honestly Albus,... I never thought there was a spell It's going to take a lot of burns like that - except for the devil's flames, but..."

"But it's dark magic, and it's impossible for a second year student to perform it," Professor Snape added dryly for her.But that was the truth, Professor McGonagall pursed her lips into a stern angle, and she shivered uncomfortably before looking at Dumbledore, as if expecting the Headmaster to give her a satisfactory answer.

It's a pity that the old man shook his head, and said with some regret: "Oh, I'm sorry that I can't answer your question well, Minerva. The East is really far away from us, and even magic doesn't belong to the same system - I noticed , They even insisted on not wanting to join the United World Ministry of Magic for many years."

"Oriental?" Professor McGonagall looked genuinely surprised. "You mean, it came from a - non-Latin spell?"

"Yes, and if Miss Granger had thought of that, Mr. Gretel was using that spell in a language she couldn't understand - and that wouldn't even require the use of a wand."

"Oh, no, Professor." Scorpius moved his butt on the chair a little uneasy, "We can also do it without shouting, er, my grandfather can, but I can't, you know , like a silent spell."

Snape sneered and said to Dumbledore: "I think Mr. Gretel just wanted to tell you modestly that he is a half bucket of water."

Scorpius coughed twice and nodded awkwardly.He now realizes that before everything happened, the old headmaster even managed to keep things about Taoism a secret from most of the professors, and the number of people who really knew the truth was so small that there were only a few pitiful ones—all this was for the greatest extent. protect him and his family.

And now, in a fit of rage, he destroyed this with his own hands.

Feeling that his stomach had dropped heavily to the floor and even stepped on a few times by himself, Scorpius touched the ferret's chin in frustration, and responded, brushing the furry thing with his palm - Scorpius immediately realized This is Draco rubbing his paw on his palm... well, although most animals will choose to lick at this time, but under the ferret fur...well, under the ferret fur is Draco Master Malfoy, he refused to actually stick out his tongue to lick the palm of an unwashed (…) hand.

"I'll inform your father and let him handle you himself, Mr. Great," Snape hissed in a silky voice. Give your ass a real spank."

The ferret on Scorpius' lap immediately sat up, looking very interested in the proposal.Dumbledore hid his smile behind a cup full of sweet milk, he shook his head, and said gently: "Don't scare the children, Severus, I have advised you to change this image a long time ago—Gretel After notifying your father, sir, I'm afraid we have more things to do... yes, they are all very troublesome, I thought we could get around this, but I am obviously being too optimistic, please forgive me You can't give a whole school of kids a 'forget it' in the auditorium at breakfast tomorrow morning."

"Now I think it's a good idea." Professor McGonagall muttered and complained. She looked around the principal's office uneasily, and finally rested her eyes on the ferret on Scorpius's leg. She said weakly, "Then May I assume that this...is Mr. Malfoy?"

"Obviously there's no other answer," Snape said dryly.

"My God! I must emphasize that Professor Moody must receive a strict warning." Professor McGonagall drew out her wand, and she whispered a series of ancient and long spells quickly, and with a loud crackling sound, the original ferret Standing and laying—

Still standing a ferret.

Professor McGonagall's face grew worse, and she said sternly: "I think there's something wrong with it—we'll have to talk to Moody—"

"—I added a time spell to it."

The hoarse voice sounded as the statue in the headmaster's office jumped away again, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor limped in, looking at Dumbledore with his normal eyes, and the magic blue glass ball Eyes rolling around, always staring at Scorpius, creepy, Snape's face darkened, he moved around, and blocked his students with his large black robe.

"The lesson must be deep enough!" Moody roared, "Three days is enough for this rude kid to learn manners!"

The ferret squeaked angrily, and Scorpius frantically dragged the ferret back, which was about to pounce on Moody and give him a few more blows on his scarred face: "Oh, don't— Draco! Calm down! Calm down!"

"I think Mr. Malfoy thinks it's deeply, insulting to question a Malfoy about matters of manners and etiquette," Snape said gloomily, curling one lip at a sarcastic angle.

Scorpius couldn't care less about the sharpness of the adults' conversations, the white ferret's hair was very soft and smooth, and its agile skill and small size made it look like a terrible loach. Sliding himself out of Scorpius' hands so easily, his little silver-gray eyes burning with rage - it was hell, Scorpius groaned feebly, and finally he had to stuff the ferret into it. In his arms, wrapped in a robe... But even so, it still struggled without giving up.

……

The next morning, when Dumbledore announced to the whole school that the punishment for Professor Moody was to immediately rectify his behavior and make a serious apology to Mr. Draco Malfoy, on the long table in Slytherin, the white ferret He was busy moving lightly among the silver cutlery, then picked up a green creature from the other end of the long table, and put it back in Scorpius' hands.

"—Oh, Draco my sweetheart, you don't know how cute you look now." Pansy looked at the ferret sweetly, stretched out her finger and scratched its jaw, and the ferret stretched out impatiently. paw, and slapped the brunette's hand away.

"You are so rude, Draco, you can't treat a lady like this." Pansy pouted her lips cutely, retracted her hand and narrowed her eyes with some dissatisfaction, "...well, Scorpius, so you can talk to us again? Did you go to class together?"

The long table of Slytherin and Ravenclaw was re-moved into the auditorium before dinner last night. Of course, Dumbledore could not ask them to sit on the ground to eat, and at the same time, Scorpius was also asked to sit here. Participate in all fourth year Slytherin classes within three days, of course, with the purpose of taking Draco, who is now a ferret, and giving him a chance to not miss every class.

"You know Scorpius, in fact, we can take good care of him, you don't need to worry about it." Zabini watched the ferret squatting on the table with great interest and stretching out its paws to pull Bitui, the turtle suffered Frightened, he immediately retracted his limbs into the shell, and then the ferret let out a sound similar to a happy "squeak", and Zabini shook his head helplessly and looked at the second-year Slytherin.

Rolling his eyes at Master Malfoy, who had found new joy in ferret form, Scorpius said dryly, "Yes, but Professor Snape insisted on doing this... it was burning me whole A Slytherin table punishment - he refuses to let it affect anyone else, you know, Professor Snape believes that everyone in class must pay attention to the lecture." Even if it will never be the case, He added silently in his heart.

"What's the difference in caring for a ferret?" Pansy's eyes widened in fuss. "I can have it on my lap! Even read my textbooks!"

With a flick of its paw, the ferret immediately turned its attention to Pansy, baring its teeth angrily at her.Scorpius smirked at it, and said slowly: "It's 'he' not 'it', Pansy, I was bitten several times yesterday to correct this."

Pansy immediately burst out laughing unceremoniously.

Everyone ignored Professor Moody's apology - in fact, even most Ravenclaws did.
