"What exactly are you going to do?"

In the dormitory, Justin took a bite of the bread he brought back from the kitchen with a dissatisfied tone. He felt that he was being used by Ryan as a tool.

"Didn't I tell you?" Ryan took a sip of milk, "I'm leaving school for the weekend. If someone comes to see me, please help me cover up."

"You should save it for lying to Malfoy," Justin said. "You forcibly changed the subject as soon as you bumped into him. It's obvious that you were planning something wrong."

"Why do you think so? Am I that kind of person?"

Justin curled his lips, don't you have any idea?

He didn't look at Ryan's sincere eyes at all, and sighed: "You won't even hide it from me, right? I thought we could talk about everything between us."

Ryan glanced at him sideways. This kid actually knew how to play the emotional card.

He shrugged: "I promise I'm telling the truth. I do have to leave school for the weekend."

"Then you must ask for leave from the professor." Justin couldn't help but remind him when he saw that Ryan didn't look like he was lying.

"If I am willing to ask for leave from the professor, do I still need to sneak out of the school through a secret passage?"

Justin frowned: "Hey, Ryan, are you kidding? Are you really planning to leave school in violation of school rules?"

"I'm not kidding, Justin." Ryan's voice was very indifferent.

"Are you crazy?" Justin's eyes widened. "You violated school rules and secretly leaked it to Malfoy. Do you plan to send it to your door to be punished yourself?"

Ryan squinted his eyes and smiled: "You are quite smart."

Justin's mind was stuck, and he looked at Ryan suspiciously: "You're not stimulated, are you, Ryan?"

"I'm very clear-headed," Ryan said. "It's the best arrangement for Malfoy to inform."

Justin was silent for a while before he spoke seriously: "Ryan, I don't know what you are planning, but I must tell you that you are seeking death."

"It's not that serious. There are a lot of students who sneak out of the school, so it's probably a ten-point deduction and a solitary confinement." Ryan shook his head. "I didn't leave school to do anything dangerous, I just went home."

"Then there is absolutely no need for you to leak it to Malfoy. I thought you wanted to plot against him at first." Justin couldn't figure out what Ryan was doing. "If you just want to go home, I can cover it for you. I figured as long as I was careful, no one would notice.”

"What if no one finds out?" Ryan took a sip of milk with a smile in his eyes. "In that case, who will put me in solitary confinement?"

"You want to be imprisoned?" Justin finally understood what Ryan meant, "Is this your plan?"

Of course he didn't believe that Ryan had taken so many detours and tried so hard to trick Malfoy just to experience the feeling of confinement, so Ryan must have a deeper purpose.

"I discovered an interesting thing." Ryan touched his chin. "If you make a mistake in class, the person who will confine you is the teacher who taught the class; if you have a conflict with students from other colleges, the person who will take over is the deputy. Headmaster, Professor McGonagall; if you violate school rules in the castle, the person who will deal with you will be the administrator Filch - but the punishment needs to be decided by the headmaster."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Justin became even more confused.

"What I want to say is, if nothing else happens, Professor Sprout will be responsible for my confinement punishment." Ryan said with a smile, "Or Filch, but I don't think our dean will agree to let Filch Punish me."

"You are indeed very popular with Professor Sprout." Justin rolled his eyes at him, "So, why do you want Professor Sprout's confinement?"

"I've been doing some research on herbal medicine lately."

"Then you can tell Professor Sprout directly." Justin didn't believe Ryan's lies at all. "I think Professor Sprout will be very happy to teach you all kinds of knowledge."

"Don't ask too much, Justin." Ryan avoided his question, "You have to leave me some privacy, right?"

What he needed for the time being was not the knowledge of herbal medicine, but the opportunity to come into contact with herbal medicine.

Only by entering the greenhouse through confinement can we "actively" help the professor take on more of the hard work.

Moreover, it would be more logical to take such a roundabout way, lest anyone discover his intention to obtain the herbal medicine.

Justin muttered a few words and stopped asking questions. He knew that Ryan's next plan would not be revealed to him.Anyway, he just wanted to satisfy his curiosity and had no intention of getting involved in Ryan's plan.

"I just hope you won't be careless and get yourself into trouble instead." Justin said half-seriously.

"It doesn't matter." Ryan said, "The worst-case scenario is that I will be detained by Filch. It doesn't matter whether I have to clean the toilet or wipe the prize room."

"Have you even inquired about the contents of the confinement?" Justin couldn't help but look sideways.

"Careful information is the prerequisite for a complete plan." Ryan smiled innocently.

"Hey -" Justin felt uncomfortable all over when he saw his smile, "What about Malfoy?"

"Well, he has done a good job, and I don't plan to do anything to him." Ryan said, "Anyway, he will also experience the consequences of the blackmail."

Justin's body trembled. He felt that these words sounded like a hidden threat.

He couldn't help but think of the gangster movies he had watched. The boss in them was also like this. He was personable, soft-spoken, and as kind as a priest in a church. He said "be kind", but secretly ordered his younger brother to kill him.

Justin quickly shook his head to clear these ridiculous fantasies from his mind.

He feels that Ryan is not such a person... right?

"Ryan, Malfoy is so annoying, why don't you plan to make him suffer?" Justin asked Ryan's words.

"Why do you think Malfoy is annoying?" Ryan's tone showed no trace of eccentricity. "From a certain perspective, don't you think Malfoy is actually very useful?"

"Useful?" Justin found this word a bit harsh.

"You don't understand, Justin." Ryan patted him on the shoulder, "When you grow up, you will know that such a proud and simple-minded person who is willing to be your opponent will be Your greatest luck."

"I think your perspective on people is a bit..." Justin tilted his lips, "You don't want to say that Malfoy is a 'tsundere' just like Hermione, right?"

"Aha, Justin, you are still very understanding!" Ryan laughed, "But don't misunderstand me. I don't have any good impression of Malfoy. If I have to say it, Malfoy is A great 'pig teammate'."

Justin burst out laughing, obviously amused by Ryan's literal translation of "pigteammate."

"I think you...haha...your description is too much!" Justin held his stomach, "You use this word to describe both Crabbe and Goyle, but why do you use it to describe Malfoy?"

"They are all three in one, and they are all 'pig teammates.'" These words made Justin laugh even louder.

"I'm not kidding." Ryan said, "You will one day know what a surprise it will be when your enemies have pig teammates."
