The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts
Chapter 426 The bottom line and conscience of being a human being
Under John's dizzy gaze, a Slytherin boy with a slightly ferocious face emerged from the crowd and took the lead to stand behind George and Fred.
This is a fourth grader whom John knows. He works extremely hard on weekdays and is diligent and studious. After get off work, he often gathers around his workbench to watch and ask for advice in preparation for next year's OWLs exam.
The other party is also a miserable person, belonging to the lowest level of existence in Slytherin College, that is, the kind of student who has no blood but is impoverished.
I just didn’t expect that for a little money, I would actually stand with George and Fred directly at this moment.
But with his taking the lead, people who were still hesitant finally couldn't stand it any longer.
one, two, three...
More and more people began to move closer to George and Fred, and eventually they joined together and blocked the door.
Of course, not everyone is so shameless.
Among the crowd was a Hufflepuff third-year student who sneaked out of the door while everyone's attention was on John.
George and Fred were completely unaware of this. Their faces were filled with pride, and they winked at John provocatively and said:
"John, have you seen that everyone disapproves of what you are doing. This is like an Eastern proverb that Link said, called...what is it called?"
George looked at Fred thoughtfully, and the latter quickly added:
"Those who have gained the Tao will be helped a lot, but those who have lost the way will be given little help!"
"Yes! That's it!" George slapped his thigh and said, "We are the righteous now. John, do you have anything else to say?"
At this moment, John's face was no longer as angry as before, but his eyes were extremely cold, scanning back and forth over George and the others, as if he wanted to imprint all these people's faces in his mind.
He really didn't expect that his colleagues who worked together on weekdays and cursed George and Fred, two red-haired misers, would abandon their conscience so directly when faced with real conflicts of interest.
But when you think about it, this is normal.
Just as he knew before, what George and Fred needed were just weak and obedient wage earners, and real hard-core people simply didn't exist here.
Even he himself, in his humble behavior when applying for a job earlier, did not look like an upright person at all.
But John thought he was better than these people in front of him.
Because he has one more thing than these people, and that is - the bottom line.
Not far away, George and Fred were still waiting for John's answer.
They seemed to enjoy the feeling of bullying others, so they did not urge John to answer as soon as possible.
But John, who was standing on the opposite side of them, had already made a decision.
"Oh!~"
John let out a long sigh, his shoulders slumped slightly, and his muscles relaxed, as if he had given up on persisting.
But just when everyone thought he decided to obey and let down their guard, they saw his right hand flicking violently, and a handful of dark brown projectiles were thrown out.
bang bang bang-
The projectiles exploded one after another when they hit the ground, and a large stream of oily green smoke mixed with a little brown stench rose into the sky!
"Damn it! Big dung bomb! Use the cyclone to clean it up quickly, cough cough cough——"
George recognized the identities of these projectiles at a glance and roared angrily.
It's a pity that since the student workers behind him can abandon morality and stand on their side, their fighting will naturally cannot be that high.
Now being smoked by the stinking smoke, everyone was irritated to tears and coughed repeatedly. Not to mention opening their mouths to cast spells to fight back, they actually ignored George and Fred and left in a hurry.
Naturally, George and Fred didn't expect these people. As they spoke, they suppressed the desire to cough and pulled out their wands, preparing to do it themselves.
It's a pity that John didn't give them this chance.
"Except your weapons!"
"All petrochemical!"
Two magic spells, one red and one gray, suddenly penetrated into the turbid smoke and hit the target directly, knocking away the wand George had just taken out, and even petrified Fred on the spot.
After finishing all this, John covered the mouths and noses of himself and the little Hufflepuff boy in his arms with a wet cloth, and rushed out of the classroom through the smoke.
At this time, the students who had escaped outside the classroom were already preparing boards and other materials to seal the classroom.
They were extremely skilled at this job because they had just helped seal off a classroom contaminated by dung bombs a few days ago.
The only difference between the two classrooms is that the stench in the classroom a few days ago was dark green, and the smell was even more terrifying.
As for the fact that George, Fred, John and others were still inside, they didn't care. They thought that breathing in some stench wouldn't kill anyone, so it was just a lesson to these bad guys.
Yes, John has become a bad person in the eyes of these people.
He even equated himself with George and Fred.
Seeing John, the bad guy, rushing out of the classroom with the little boy in his arms, everyone who had just carried the boards and other materials were shocked and couldn't help but retreat.
But this was just an instinctive reaction at the first moment. When they realized that John was alone and holding a wounded person in his arms, making it difficult to move, what George and Fred said just now came back to their minds. There was a sound - if George sent someone to the infirmary, the workshop would be closed down by the professors, and everyone would lose this income.
The crowd slowly gathered again and stood in front of John.
John had long lost his goodwill and hope for these former friends. When he saw this, he sneered and asked:
"George and Fred, these two red-haired ghosts, have fallen. Are you still stubborn?"
Everyone's faces darkened when they heard this.
But soon a few older students came out of the crowd and advised:
"John, we have already gone to ask for classmates who are good at healing. This junior will not be in danger. Why do you want to destroy all our jobs?"
"Yes, John, you pity this little boy, who has come to pity us? You are also a poor person, and you should know very well that without this income, our current studies cannot be maintained at all! And for this, Lin The situation after Mr. C. Foley's capital injection. Before he became the school director, how could poor and untalented guys like us have any chance to learn alchemy and potions!"
"That's right, John, listen to us..."
"Shut up!" John directly interrupted everyone's persuasion and roared, "Being a human being must have a bottom line and a conscience. Since you don't want to be a human being, then don't blame me for being rude!"
John heard this and raised his wand again.
This shocked everyone.
But this time, the crowd did not disperse, but continued to block the corridor unswervingly.
Seeing this, a trace of bitterness flashed in John's eyes.
He was completely bluffing just now, trying to bluff the group of people in front of him.
Now that he has failed to bluff him, he may be in trouble today, and it will be difficult for him to escape from here with the little boy in his arms.
After all, two fists are no match for four hands.
As for the dung bombs.
This is a good tool for breaking out.
It's a pity that the ones he just threw out are already his entire inventory.
Those were all substandard products that he went to the dung bomb workshop to pick up every day, and the quantity was hardly large.
"call!"
John took a few deep breaths, and the bitterness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by determination.
As he just said, a person must have a conscience and a bottom line.
Although there is little hope at the moment, he is still willing to give it a try!
It’s good to have a clear conscience!
Thinking like this, a flash of red light rippled from the tip of John's staff.
Opposite him, everyone finally gave up their illusions and pulled out their wands in a mess.
……
At the same time, on the other side of the main body of Hogwarts Castle, Link and Cedric were walking in the corridor.
This corridor was of a similar nature to the one occupied by brothers George and Fred.
There are abandoned classrooms on both sides, and the transportation is not very convenient.
But the difference is that the corridor that Link and Cedric are currently in looks far busier than the one with George and Fred.
Beside Link and Cedric, a large number of house elves wearing Hogwarts uniforms were cleaning the place quickly, while using magic to install some furniture and large equipment into the classrooms on both sides.
Link and Cedric just walked among the busyness. After a long time, the latter frowned and said:
"Link, I am really optimistic about your student part-time project, but you are starting to build it now, and the laborers you use are all Hogwarts house elves. Isn't this a bit..."
Cedric did not continue, but Link fully understood what the other party meant and sighed:
"I know it's against Hufflepuff rules to use house elves for things, but there's nothing we can do. Time is running out."
Cedric frowned slightly.
He had actually learned the whole story from Link a few days ago, so he was very clear about the significance of this student part-time job project and very much in favor of it.
The only thing he couldn't understand was why Link was so impatient?
You know, it’s only been a week since school started!
"Let's not talk about it anymore," Link shook his head and said, "Cedric, how about the thing I asked you to do before?"
Hearing this, Cedric nodded and finally had a smile on his face:
"It's done. Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick both agree with this. They feel that this project will not only allow more students to afford to study more advanced subjects, but also train students' practical life skills." , so that they can be more adaptable to life after graduation.”
Cedric turned to look at Link, "But just nodding from the two of them is useless. If Principal Dumbledore and the other two deans don't agree, everything will be in vain."
Link answered:
"Of course I know this. Don't worry about Snape. You also know my relationship with him. He will definitely agree when I speak. As for Dumbledore, haha, he is now being manipulated by the Dark Lord and the Ministry of Magic. He has too much time to take care of himself. In order to maintain stability in the rear, even if he does not express his support, he will not directly deny the project. It can be regarded as acquiescence. "
"What about Professor McGonagall?" Cedric asked, "The old professor who is so stubborn that he doesn't listen to any advice is the key. How do you plan to get rid of her?"
Link raised his eyebrows and smiled:
"How to do it? Of course, it's all about emotion and reason."
Cedric's face didn't look good. He felt that Link was completely joking with him.
But before he could speak again, a rash figure rushed in front of them.
"Lin... Link! Something happened at the black workshop... there! John was given to George and Fred..."
The visitor spoke breathlessly. Although his words did not match his words, the smile on Link's face became brighter and brighter.
Link stretched out his hand to stop the person who wanted to continue speaking, turned to Cedric and said:
"Look, will the chance to convince Professor McGonagall come soon? Let's go over there. As for you,"
Link looked at the messenger again and said, "Please make another trip to inform Professor McGonagall."
As soon as these words came out, the messenger's face suddenly turned bitter.
But this bitter look was instantly replaced by joy after Link threw two golden Galleons.
……
Ten minutes later, Link and Cedric successfully arrived at George and Fred's black workshop.
At this time, the corridor was already in chaos.
There were students lying everywhere screaming "Ouch, ouch, ouch", and more students were still gathering together, surrounding John.
Cedric was so anxious when he saw this that he opened his mouth to shout for everyone to stop.
But Link stopped him.
Link knew very well that in this situation, both sides were clearly showing real fire.
When excited, these students may not even stop talking to the professor, let alone their so-called prefects and student union presidents.
In this case, it is better to shout out and no one will listen, which will end up being embarrassing.
It would be better to use ruthless means directly.
hum-
A huge amount of magic power spurted out, and the force field formed by the curse force was pressed down violently, directly knocking everyone in front, including John, to the ground.
Everyone was a little panicked by this sudden move, and began to struggle one after another.
But when they saw that the person walking slowly not far away was Link, everyone froze in place.
"Link, listen to me explain, we didn't want to do anything to John, he was the one who attacked us first!"
An older student in the corner said loudly.
He was really a little scared.
Who doesn’t know that John is Link’s roommate?
Although everyone is more inclined to George and Fred's version, I believe that the relationship between the two is not too close.
But when the real thing comes, who can not panic?
Link walked forward as if he didn't hear these people's explanations at all.
He didn't stop until he reached John in the center of the crowd.
At this time, John actually looked okay.
There were basically no real bleeding wounds on his body, just a few bruises on his face and arms.
It seemed that the group of people maintained the minimum restraint even in their rage, knowing that if John was seriously injured, the nature of the matter would change.
After checking John's injury and confirming that it was nothing serious, Link breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, John finally recognized Link.
He resisted the gravity field, turned over and revealed the little boy hidden under him, and said:
"Link, take him to the infirmary quickly. If you go there too late, he will be disfigured!"
??
This is a fourth grader whom John knows. He works extremely hard on weekdays and is diligent and studious. After get off work, he often gathers around his workbench to watch and ask for advice in preparation for next year's OWLs exam.
