After all, Ryan couldn't recover the points he had deducted, but Snape didn't deduct more points either.

This incident gained Ryan a lot of popularity. The Hufflepuff students did not blame Ryan for deducting points, but rather praised his approach.

During the herbal medicine class in the afternoon, the dean, Professor Sprout, even praised him openly and secretly, and called on Ryan to answer a few simple questions, successfully adding back his points.

In the eyes of the Hufflepuff people, Snape's actions were unfair, and his intention to make things difficult for Ryan was very obvious.Ryan not only answered the questions in the book, but also helped the surrounding students complete the potions, and finally refuted Snape righteously. Without exception, he interpreted the qualities that Hufflepuff admires: diligence, friendship, Upright.

Of course, the more reason is that many people were sprayed bloody by Snape, and Ryan helped them breathe a sigh of relief.

Herbology class is with Gryffindor.After class, many little wizards gathered around and chatted with Ryan.Gryffindor students also talked about Ryan's deeds, but what they admired was Ryan's courage to confront Professor.

"I don't think you should do this." A discordant voice suddenly sounded during the chatter.

Ryan held his forehead, knowing he couldn't hide.

"Hello, Hermione."

The little witch with messy hair pushed aside the crowd, followed by two boys.

Unlike Hermione, who looked ugly, the two boys' eyes shone with excitement, just like most of the Gryffindor little lions around them.

"You're going to preach again." The freckle-faced man with fiery red hair spoke first, "Come on, Granger, you are too lenient! Hey, Ryan, hello, I've wanted to meet you for a long time. My name is Ron Weasley, this is Harry Potter."

"Hello, Ron; Hello, Harry." Ryan suppressed all his thoughts and greeted them with a normal expression.

"You shouldn't contradict the professor, Ryan." Hermione ignored Ron and said to herself, "You should think more about the grades in your college."

"It's not your turn to talk about our Hufflepuff matters." Justin immediately spoke up to defend his brother, and several classmates next to him immediately joined in.

"I'm not talking to you, Finlay." Hermione said with a straight face, still staring at Ryan, her eyes a little red, "I just gave advice out of obligation as a friend."

"Thank you, Hermione." Ryan quickly stopped the people around him from criticizing Hermione and said smoothly, "I think we have to go to the History of Magic classroom."

The little wizards dispersed in a hurry and walked towards the classroom on the second floor in twos and threes.

Ron followed Ryan in a familiar manner and inquired about the details of the Potions class; Harry also listened carefully, he always felt that Snape had a problem with him; Justin added details from time to time; only Hermione remained silent. Followed behind silently.

Ryan watched Hermione with his peripheral vision and sighed inwardly. According to Hermione's temperament, the days ahead would probably be difficult.

But there was nothing he could do - at least before Halloween, he had to keep a distance from Hermione, so as not to interfere with the formation of the iron triangle.

At the corner of the stairs, Harry bumped into Malfoy and his group. Slytherin had just finished the History of Magic. Malfoy was obviously here to block Harry Potter with his little brother.

"Look, look!" Malfoy spoke loudly on purpose, causing many students to stop. "Our famous Harry Potter is here with his new friend! Ha! It turns out to be a freak from the Weasley family - —”

"Shut up, Malfoy!" Harry said angrily, "You might as well see what your friends are like!"

He was referring to Malfoy's two lackeys, Crabbe and Goyle, both of whom were somewhat foolish.

"That's better than the friends you made." Malfoy said viciously, "Look at your friends, they are a pure-blood shame. After all, you have followed the same path as your parents, stupid Potter!"

Harry drew his wand angrily, and Malfoy immediately laughed contemptuously: "Do you want to fight us, Potter?"

He and his followers laughed evilly, and Harry was a little frightened by the huge size of Crabbe and Goyle.

"Just fight, whoever is afraid of whom!" Ron was the most unsettled and pulled out his wand and stood together with Harry.

"What are you going to do?" Hermione stopped Ron anxiously, "Do you want to deduct all points from Gryffindor?"

"That's enough!" Ron pushed Hermione away in disgust, "Screw your scores. Do you only have scores in your mind?"

"Ryan, come and stop...Ryan!" Hermione stared in disbelief, "How can you be like them!"

"Sorry, I didn't want to do this." Ryan said gently, but there was an unshakable will in his tone, "Hermione, you should know what Potter's parents have done for us. Heroes should not be insulted."

Hermione stopped talking. She hesitated for a moment and silently pulled out her wand.

"I don't know any magic spells...forget it, I really can't rush up and hit them." Justin smiled bitterly. He did not pull out the wand, but waved his fist and stood next to Ryan.

"Don't make the first move for a while." Ryan whispered to Justin, "Let them make the first move and we will take care of it."

Justin gave Ryan a strange look. He thought Ryan was already excited, but he didn't expect that he was acting again.

Ryan put the hand holding the wand behind his back and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Armor for protection."

Then, he walked to the front, deliberately not looking at Malfoy, but said to Ron: "Weasley, is this the pure blood in your wizarding world?"

"Hmph, I don't want to share the title of pure blood with him!"

"That's right." Ryan raised his voice, "If pure bloods are all such arrogant and uncultured things, I will also think that pure bloods are a shame!"

"You're looking for death!" Malfoy shouted. "Be torn apart!"

A ray of red light flew towards Ryan as Hermione screamed, but bounced in front of him, turned a corner, and hit the wall, leaving a white mark.

Ryan had already raised his wand when Malfoy shouted the spell, and he read unhurriedly:

"Lock the tongue and seal the throat!"

The way to deal with the mage is, of course, to use the Great Silence first, then pile up various debuffs, and then finish it physically.

Ryan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, waving his wand like an elegant band conductor——

"Except your weapons!"

"Cover your eyes!"

"Close your earplugs and listen!"

"All petrochemical!"

"beat him!"

Ron and Harry were stunned for a moment before they realized that the last sentence was not a spell.The two men immediately rushed forward and were about to give Malfoy a good beating.

"Stop it!" A stern voice stopped everyone's movements.

Professor McGonagall was standing at the top of the stairs. She heard students reporting a fight and hurried over from the office on the second floor.

"What happened here?" Professor McGonagall's eyes twitched. It was only the first day of school, and someone was blatantly violating school rules.

Justin felt a little guilty. He glanced at Ryan, but was shocked to find that his friend was not as calm as before. Instead, his eyes were red and crystal clear, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"Professor McGonagall, I'm sorry." Ryan said hoarsely, as if suppressing his crying, "I hit Malfoy with a curse. It's all my fault, and I am willing to bear all the punishment."

Harry and Ron were so moved that they immediately said, "No, Professor, we were the ones who quarreled with Malfoy first, and Ryan was just helping us."

"It's a good thing to admit your mistakes." Professor McGonagall's voice softened a lot, "But, Mr. Franklin, I need to know why you attacked Malfoy. I think you should know the consequences of this matter."

"I know, Professor." Ryan wiped the corners of his eyes, "Will I be expelled?"

McGonagall stopped Harry and others from talking with her eyes, and she said as gently as possible: "It depends on the reason why you attacked your classmates."

"Malfoy...he insulted Harry's parents," Ryan pointed at the stiff Malfoy angrily. "He said they were all idiots and that Harry would follow their old path. I couldn't get angry, so I blamed Malfoy. Fu, Malfoy...he hit me with a cutting curse..."

These words made Professor McGonagall's breathing quicken.However, she still asked the people around her first, and heard exactly the same statement. She also found Malfoy's "crooked" cutting curse on the wall, which was irrefutable proof.

"Malfoy, how dare you?" Professor McGonagall screamed in disbelief, and anyone could see that she was on the verge of breaking out.

Malfoy was in trouble. He was hit by the Locking Curse, the Blinding Curse, the Hearing Curse, and the Immobilization Curse. He completely lost all awareness of his surroundings. He didn't even know what was happening, let alone answer Professor McGonagall's questions. talk.

Fortunately, Professor McGonagall also discovered this. She lifted the spell from Malfoy and questioned him again about his bad behavior.

Malfoy couldn't argue, because Ryan was telling the truth.

Of course, if Dumbledore were here, he might find something fishy about the whole thing.But Professor McGonagall has confirmed what happened, Malfoy did indeed insult his classmates, and the matter was quickly settled.

"Franklin, although your behavior was wrong, you spoke up for your friends and it was excusable. So I won't add points or deduct points this time. It won't be the same next time." Professor McGonagall said, "As for you, Malfoy, come with me Talk to Professor Snape, I think you need a period of confinement to reflect on yourself! Plus, ten points will be deducted from Slytherin."

After that, she carried Malfoy and walked towards the basement.

Ron cheered quietly, but when he saw Ryan who lowered his head and remained silent, he immediately turned around and stuttered to comfort him: "Don't be sad Ryan, you see, even Professor McGonagall can't look at Mal." The works of blessing.”

"Thank you, Ryan!" Harry held Ryan's hand sincerely and didn't even know what to say.

Justin looked at them with a strange expression. He was the only one who knew Ryan's plan. When Professor McGonagall completely disappeared from sight, he spoke slowly: "Okay, Ryan, Professor McGonagall has left. Stop acting."

"You are so imprudent, Justin!" Ryan raised his head, with a slightly depressed look on his face. "You should keep this kind of thing in your stomach. Go to class quickly, we are already late. Fortunately, it is History of Magic. , Professor Binns is not that strict.”

Justin glanced at Ron and Harry who were stunned, and patted their shoulders in a pretentious manner: "You will understand after getting along for a long time. Don't believe this guy's words easily, because you don't know which one is true. of."

Ryan rolled his eyes at him, saying this as if Justin had been with him for a long time.

Hermione nodded in agreement. She initially suspected that Ryan was acting, because whether it was a deliberate provocation or an explanation to Professor McGonagall, there was a strong "Ryan-like speaking style" in it.

But Ryan's performance later was too real, and she unconsciously believed in Ryan. It wasn't until Justin pointed out that she woke up again.

Thinking back to the fact that Ryan was the same on the train before, using a "sorting test" to fool her around, Hermione found helplessly that she was still too naive and easily fell into Ryan's tricks.

She glared at Ryan and walked away without looking back.
