Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

In fact, this is the second time Andre has taught Malfoy a lesson. In the first flying lesson last year, he used Transfiguration to make this Slytherin snake look ugly, and since then From now on, the other party will not dare to take the initiative to provoke when he is present.

Unexpectedly, a year has passed, and Malfoy seems to have become bolder again. Of course, this time he did not confront Andre head-on, but after being angered by the little witch's words, he spoke out his heart without hesitation. .

But presumably after being frightened by the fear curse, with his bully and shy character, he would probably not dare to cause trouble in front of Andre for a long time in the future.

"Just... thank you, Ron." In addition to the Slytherin players being driven away from the stadium, the conflict that broke out also eased the relationship between the little witch and Ron. Ron thanked him solemnly.

Although Ron did not recite the spell he just cast on Malfoy, his attitude of protecting Hermione was immediately revealed.

Regardless of the outcome, the little witch felt warmed by his behavior. At least she had now forgiven Ron for his previous words.

"Um, it's nothing. I think everyone would do this." Ron touched his head in embarrassment and said modestly.

Andre glanced at the two people who had reconciled, and he was relieved. It was uncomfortable to be sandwiched between the two of them, and now their conflicts were finally eliminated.

Then he asked Wood: "Do you still want to continue training?"

The Quidditch field is not reserved for Gryffindor training every day, so although there was an unpleasant conflict just now, Wood still did not let the team members disband. He said: "Our training mission has not been completed yet. If you If you want to wait for Harry, you have to stay in the stands for a while."

Andre had no choice but to return to the previous stand with Hermione and Ron.

When Harry and his friends finished their training, it was already close to lunch time.

"So we're going to Hagrid today?" Ron asked after Harry came out of the dressing room after changing.

"Afternoon, I'm so hungry that I can eat a cow now. Let's go to the Great Hall to have lunch before looking for Hagrid," Harry said.

Everyone was okay with this, and they quickly left the court and entered the auditorium.

The auditorium was still lively on Saturday, and the long Gryffindor table was already full of people. When Andre and the other four walked in, Ginny, who was eating a plate of salad, immediately stood up to greet them.

"I heard that you had a conflict with the Slytherin team members in the morning?" She first looked at Harry shyly, and then asked Ron.

"That's right. How come you knew about this so soon?" Ron asked curiously. They had just left the stadium. The other Gryffindor players were still behind at this time. As for the leaders, The Slytherins who led Malfoy to find Snape should not publicize this embarrassing matter no matter what.

Ginny said: "Well, our first-year Colin saw you confronting the Slytherin students on the court. He also took a lot of photos, but they haven't been developed yet."

"Oh, it turns out to be that boy. I saw him in the stands before." Ron suddenly realized.

"You haven't told me how you came to conflict with the Slytherins?" Ginny asked again.

"They came to compete with us for the court first. We obviously got up early today, but the Slytherin people took the note approved by Snape and tried to drive us away." Harry stood up from the table. He took a fried chicken leg and answered Ginny's question.

However, the only girl in the Weasley family obviously still didn't dare to communicate with Harry normally. She glanced at him evasively, and then immediately turned her attention back to her brother: "But I heard Colin say It was you who drove the Slytherins away in the end."

"Yes, Andre used magic to scare Malfoy. Oh, that's what we saw at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore during the summer vacation. The boy following Lucius was a Slytherin student, and Because his father donated seven Nimbus 2001 to the Slytherin team, he is now their new Seeker." Speaking of this matter, Ron's face was full of disdain: "Then their captain In a panic, he took Malfoy to find their headmaster, Snape, just like a child who was bullied and went to find his parents."

"He actually used money to join the Slytherin team and then became a Seeker?" Ginny also found it incredible. In her opinion, the school's team should be selected purely based on strength. of the team members.

"People in Slytherin are like this. They always believe that power and wealth are a person's greatest pursuit, so using money to bribe other team members is not an unthinkable thing for them." The person who said this is Sirius, who had just walked up to Andre and the others, had obviously heard the previous conversation.

"Sirius, why are you here?" Harry raised his head and looked at his godfather.

"Oh, I have to come to eat too, don't I?" Sirius joked, and then said seriously: "The Slytherin students you mentioned went to see Snape, and then the snot-nosed guy went I complained to Professor McGonagall. I happened to hear what they said there, so I rushed over to find you first. Andre, did you really use dark magic on Malfoy?"

Andre frowned and replied: "Yes, it's the fear spell you taught me before."

"That's okay, that spell can actually only be regarded as a curse, not too much black magic." Sirius breathed a sigh of relief and said: "But I don't know how Professor McGonagall will punish you. In any case, using curses on classmates is not a good thing."

"Yes, but it was Malfoy who called me a mudblood first, and then Andre took action." Hermione explained uneasily.

When Sirius heard what she said, he asked in disbelief: "Did he really use that word to scold you? I never heard Snotlout ever say that."

It seems that Malfoy and the others did not tell Snape the truth, Andre thought to himself, because he knew that Snape once said the word mudblood to a girl, and this was the most painful thing in his life. One of the memories is that if Malfoy told the Slytherin dean about the cause of the matter, he would most likely not come forward for the matter.

Just as he was thinking this, there was another sound of footsteps coming from behind.

"Andre, and the rest of you, follow me." The person walking behind them was naturally the head of Gryffindor, Professor McGonagall.

At this moment, she had a frosty look on her face, and her expression looked even more serious than usual.

Needless to say, it must have been what Sirius had just come to inform them about. Malfoy and Snape had already snitched, and this time they would definitely not be able to escape punishment.

Andre and the others didn't want to argue with Professor McGonagall here, so they had to stand up from their chairs one by one and follow her out of the auditorium, and Sirius also followed.

Soon, the group arrived at Professor McGonagall's office. When they walked inside, they discovered that Snape and Malfoy were also here.

With the support of the Dean of Slytherin, Malfoy seemed to be hardened again, but his eyes when looking at Andre were still a little evasive.

"Andre, Malfoy said that you used dark magic on him when he was in the stadium. Is this true?" At this time, Professor McGonagall had turned around and she asked in a stern tone.

"It's just a fear spell, not a very vicious magic." Sirius stood up and explained to Andre.

"I haven't asked you yet, Professor Black. I have never seen any Hogwarts professor teach students dark magic, and you are the first. I will talk to Albus about this later." It's just that Professor McGonagall didn't show respect to Sirius, and instead became even more angry because of his interruption.

"Professor, regarding this matter, I think I must first tell you why I used that magic on Malfoy." But Andre was very calm in response to Professor McGonagall's question, and he said without changing his expression.

Snape on the side asked with a sneer: "Oh, is there anything that requires using black magic on your classmates? Mr. Ivanov."

"Then you can first ask Malfoy what he did to make me angry." Andre did not answer Snape's question directly, but instead turned the finger on Malfoy.

"Mr. Malfoy, can you tell me what happened?" Seeing Malfoy's eyes wandering next to Snape, Professor McGonagall began to wonder if they had concealed something when they came to complain.

"Go on, tell them what you told me again." Snape also began to urge.

This made Malfoy even more nervous. He obviously knew that the word mudblood he uttered was very serious discrimination in the current wizarding world, so he did not explain the reason to Snape at the beginning. Now in front of Andre and the others, it is not so easy to hide it anymore.

In fact, Flint and the others were also to blame for this matter. The fear spell that Andre cast on him had lost its effect after more than ten minutes, but he was sent to Snape's office by Flint and others as his His godfather naturally wanted to ask why he was cursed, so Malfoy had no choice but to put all the blame on the Gryffindor people.

The result was that Snape immediately took him to Professor McGonagall to complain in anger. This was not Malfoy's original intention.

"What? Do you think Mr. Malfoy can't speak up?" Seeing Malfoy's delay in responding, Andre sneered and said, "Then let me tell Professor Snape why I cursed him."

"You don't need to say anything, Draco, just say it." But Snape didn't think it was a good idea to let Andre tell the story, so he chose to continue forcing Malfoy to tell it himself.

There was no other way, Malfoy could only stammer: "It's just... I scolded that Granger, and then he used that magic... He used that black magic to attack me."

"Oh, then what exactly did you curse?" Professor McGonagall heard something was wrong now, and she asked doubtfully.

"It's just...it's just..." Malfoy now knew that he couldn't say that word casually.

"He called me a Mudblood, Professor." The little witch couldn't bear the other person's hesitation, so she stood up and said the word for Malfoy.

Her words shocked Professor McGonagall. She looked at Hermione in surprise, then turned to stare at Malfoy and said sternly: "How dare you!? How dare you say this to people at Hogwarts? Such vicious words!?”

At the same time, Snape, who was standing next to Malfoy, also changed his expression instantly. Judging from his cold expression, he did not know about this matter.

Malfoy, who was being questioned loudly by Professor McGonagall, was already trembling and dared not speak out anymore.

"It seems that everything has been cleared up." Sirius glanced at Malfoy, who was still shaking, with disdain, and said: "Andre is not to blame for this matter. I think Snape should put this aside." Take the boy back and teach him well so that he will not become like you in the future."

"You!" These words undoubtedly stung Snape. He had unscrupulously said the word mudblood to Harry's mother because he was bullied by James and others. But since then, both parties have The relationship between the two became further and further apart. This incident had always been buried deeply in his heart, but today, because of his godson, he recalled the pain of his youth.

"Okay, Professor Black, don't think that this matter is over. Malfoy definitely did something wrong, but you and Andre also made mistakes." Professor McGonagall saw that the two of them seemed to be preparing to start talking to the students again. There was an argument in front of them, and she immediately said: "Severus, take Malfoy back and how to punish him is your Slytherin business. As for Andre and the others, I will make arrangements myself."

Snape glared at Sirius hatefully, then turned to look at Malfoy in disgust, gritting his teeth and uttering the word "go".

"Although it happened for a reason, it is still an extremely bad thing for you to use black magic on your classmates. Therefore, 50 points will be deducted from Gryffindor, and for the next week, you must come to my office every night. This is Your punishment of confinement." Professor McGonagall then said to Andre.

Sirius's problem obviously can only be left to the principal. After all, he is not a Gryffindor student, but a professor.

Andre didn't have any objections to this solution. It was just a week of confinement. He himself was studying every night. Now it was just a change of place to read. Professor McGonagall would never be like the magician in the future. Like Umbridge, a senior official in the Ministry, he was asked to copy books with a quill that could engrave words on his hand.

On the other hand, Hermione and the other two seemed a little dissatisfied. After all, it was Malfoy who was responsible for the whole thing. In the end, he was taken away by Snape. Based on the favoritism of the Slytherin headmaster, they felt that the guy would definitely not suffer anything. punishment.
