The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

"You are so brave!"

Professor McGonagall walked into the auditorium with a stern expression.

Behind her were Snape and Madam Pomfrey.

But unlike Professor McGonagall's aggressive attitude, Snape and Madam Pomfrey first focused their attention on the injured at the scene.

"Professor McGonagall, Link Foley is the heir! He just committed a murder in public!"

A Gryffindor boy in the crowd waved a newspaper and rushed towards Professor McGonagall.

However, after just a few steps, Professor McGonagall forced him back with his eyes.

"We will decide who the murderer is, and we don't need you to remind us!" Professor McGonagall's mouth trembled in anger, "But your current behavior is blatantly flouting school rules!"

The crowd that was still angry immediately calmed down after hearing this, but this does not mean that they are convinced.

After all, they were the ones who were suppressed and beaten just now, but now Professor McGonagall has no intention of 'justifying' justice for them.

Professor McGonagall looked at the unconvinced faces and felt extremely irritable.

She knew very well that what happened this time was largely caused by everyone's dissatisfaction building up for too long.

If this kind of 'house arrest' continues, similar incidents will definitely happen.

After hesitating for a moment, she announced:

"Everyone involved in this matter must be punished! In addition, starting from this afternoon, we will officially resume classes, and the rest of the arrangements remain unchanged!"

After saying this, Professor McGonagall waved his hand, and several prefects and other professors who were not involved walked into the crowd, began to treat the injured and took away the participants.

Link and Emily were taken out of the auditorium by Snape.

"From today on, you will live in my office."

Snape was talking as he walked down the corridor.

After hearing this, Link curled his lips indifferently and said:

"No need, they can't hurt me."

"I'm afraid you'll hurt them!"

Snape suddenly raised his voice.

Link was instantly speechless.

The three of them arrived in silence at the familiar Potions Professor's office. Snape quickly organized two simple rooms and hurried out without any intention of continuing the conversation with Link.

Looking at the two rooms and Emily, Link asked with some confusion:

"Emily, are you going to live here too?"

After hearing this, Emily stared at Link with a complicated expression for a while, and then answered the question:

"Why didn't you run with me just now?"

"That's a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. So what if I ran away at that time? Their prejudice against me has been deeply rooted in their bones, and they will come back to me later."

"Only appropriate force deterrence can make them retreat. Moreover, I also have the ability to control the situation on the scene. Don't you think it's perfect now?"

Link said expressionlessly.

He is still in a state of Occlumency, so what he says is extremely rational.

Judging from his current thinking mode, the facts are exactly what he said.

"But this way they will think you are the heir even more!"

"It doesn't matter, I don't care what they think. I know I'm not, and you know that too, right?"

Link said sincerely, but Emily fell silent when she heard the words.

She stared at Link with an expression that was almost on the verge of tears, shook her head, and retreated to a room that Snape had just tidied up.

"Oh!"

The door was closed tightly.

Link was the only one left in Snape's slightly crowded and dim office.

Feeling the throbbing pain in his heart, Link took a deep breath.

……

A few hours later, everyone who received the notice of resumption of classes gathered in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

Even though this class belongs to that annoying Lockhart, it is still the first class everyone has had in the past few days.

So surprisingly everyone was not late today and were still talking and laughing together.

Then, Link appeared.

At this time, Link looked gloomy and looked very depressed.

The moment Link appeared, the original cheerful atmosphere in the classroom instantly dissipated.

Everyone lowered their heads in silence, not daring to look at Link.

Link didn't care about this. He walked into the classroom silently, then randomly picked a seat and sat down.

Sitting next to him was a Ravenclaw girl.

Now her face was pale, and her hands were tightly holding the hem of her skirt.

If she could, she really wanted to tell Link that he was sitting in the wrong seat, and that the seat he was sitting in belonged to the Ravenclaw camp.

It's a pity that she didn't dare to speak to Link at all.

Not only her, but also the other Ravenclaws sitting around Link didn't dare.

The power Link showed in the auditorium this morning was truly terrifying!

One man taking on a group of upperclassmen is a monster!

And it is said that the other party is also the heir of Slytherin, and he will also tear apart the corners of other people's mouths to make others happy...

Thinking of other terrifying rumors about Link, the Ravenclaw girl felt like she almost fainted.

But at this moment, a gentle voice reached her ears.

"Excuse me, can I change places with you?"

"Eh?"

The girl raised her head in surprise and saw a tall boy wearing a Hufflepuff uniform looking at her with a smile.

That smile is as brilliant as the spring sunshine!

"Good... good!"

The girl gave up her seat with gleaming eyes, and John breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

This was the first time he asked Ravenclaw to change his seat in class, and he originally thought he would be rejected.

After sitting down carefully, John looked at Link beside him and said worriedly:

"Are you okay, Link."

Link looked up at John expressionlessly, his eyes lingering on the gauze wrapped on the other man's head for a moment before he said:

"I'm fine. Does your injury matter?"

"Hahaha! This little injury is nothing! Madam Pomfrey has already taken care of it for me!" John faked a few laughs, then looked for a topic and said, "But Professor McGonagall is really too much! This kind of thing has happened to me. He still wants us to go to class! If you ask me, wouldn’t it be better to just temporarily close Hogwarts and let us all go home?”

Hearing this, Link nodded and said nothing.

The reason why Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore did not close the school was actually to trap the remnant soul of Voldemort in a jar.

He knew this very well, but at the moment he didn't want to explain it to John.

Emily's previous doubts had really hit him hard.

He originally thought that Emily would definitely trust him 100%, but the fact slapped him hard.

Emily would actually doubt him...

Link closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

John on the side looked like he was hesitant to speak when he saw this.

He could tell that Link's mood was not right, and he wanted to try to comfort him.

Unfortunately, the effect is not good.

But at this moment, an excited voice rang.

"Classmates! It's been a while since I last saw you, have you missed me? Your most beloved professor is back again!!"
