The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

John knew nothing about what happened in the principal's office.

The day after enjoying the Philosopher's Stone, he was taken to the office by Snape to work as a coolie and began to deal with the dirty and piling up of toads.

John was quite confused by this.

Snape must have been retaliating.

But based on his understanding of Snape, just because he disobeyed Snape's orders and continued to entangle with Harry, Quirrell and others should not make Snape so angry.

So what did he do to make Snape angry?

John couldn't figure it out.

He simply didn't think about it, and instead didn't go anywhere for the next few days, concentrating on staying in the Potions office while Snape monitored him and dealt with the toads.

This is because both Draco and Ron publicized what happened under the trap door that day to everyone, causing the entire Hogwarts to boil. All students, regardless of grade, were doing nothing all day long. When he did, he would chase after John, Harry, Draco and other people involved asking questions, flattering and boasting, all of them acting like groupies, so that John had to hide and avoid the limelight.

It was also because John was waiting for Dumbledore's reaction to the fact that he had stolen the Philosopher's Stone.

John was well prepared for this matter.

As early as the night of the Mirror of Erised, he had noticed how much Dumbledore seemed to be paying attention to him. In particular, Dumbledore also pointed out Professor Flitwick and said that he liked wizard duels very much. Very attentive and very talented.

Therefore, John took advantage of Dumbledore's opportunity to ask him what he saw and directly gave a vague description of what he saw in the Mirror of Erised.

Using absolute truth, he created a persona for himself that loves food, thereby concealing his nature of pursuing power.

Later, John showed off his magical cooking during the subsequent banquet for Dumbledore, which deepened Dumbledore's impression that he specializes in this art.

Not only that, he also used Snape's mouth to reveal that the reason why he got involved in the trapdoor incident was entirely to investigate the origin of the matter and to restore Professor Snape's innocence.

In this way, when he finally got the Philosopher's Stone and stewed it into a hot pot in front of Dumbledore's supervisor, Dumbledore would most likely only think that John was trying to test a new dish, and he would never Other baffling thoughts!

There is another key here.

That is why Dumbledore had already discussed with Nico Flamel to destroy the Sorcerer's Stone.

Since they were all destroyed, what's the difference between Dumbledore doing it himself and being 'eaten' by John?

John felt that Dumbledore wouldn't care in this regard.

But even though he said that, the matter had not yet been settled, and John was still a little nervous.

After all, he has seen too many well-planned plans turn into ridiculousness inexplicably.

Maybe Dumbledore would not follow the routine at the next moment and rush into the office to cause trouble for him.

Of course, they are just looking for trouble, and expulsion is impossible.

Dumbledore's temper was like this, John was sure of this, otherwise he wouldn't have taken such a big risk to steal the Sorcerer's Stone.

And just like this, several days passed, and until the day of the year-end dinner, what John was worried about still didn't happen.

This shows that his plan was truly successful!

"call--"

After exhaling a long breath, John felt refreshed and the pressure on his body suddenly disappeared.

Taking off his dragon leather gloves, he couldn't help but reveal a bright smile.

"Why are you smirking?!"

Snape scolded him coldly at the workbench.

Hearing this, John glanced at him, continued to smile and shook his head:

"There is an Eastern proverb that goes well! Smile and save ten years! This person should smile more! If he keeps a straight face all day long and gets angry easily, his life will be short-lived!"

"you……"

Snape stood up suddenly.

Of course he could hear that John was irritating him.

Because in the past few days, he didn't give John a good look. He would always find an excuse to angrily scold John, calling John as stupid as a troll.

As a result, John was really merciless when he fought back.

But he, Snape, was not someone to be trifled with.

Immediately, Snape was ready to retaliate.

But at this moment, I heard John say again:

"Professor Snape, the year-end dinner is about to start. I think we should rush there as soon as possible. We can't keep everyone waiting."

As he spoke, John rushed out of the office.

This is just trying to run away after taking advantage!

"John Shafiq! Absent from work without permission! I will deduct your wages!"

Snape said coldly, but his body was very honest, he got up and went to the auditorium.

John looked shocked when he heard this, and immediately started arguing with Snape again.

Snape, on the other hand, sneered.

The two of them argued all the way to the auditorium.

At this time, the place was full of people.

The Great Hall was decorated in Slytherin's green and silver colors to celebrate their seventh consecutive House Cup win.

A huge banner with a Slytherin snake hanging on the wall behind the guest of honor seat.

As soon as John and Snape arrived, the Great Hall suddenly fell silent, and then suddenly everyone started talking loudly again.

Almost everyone was looking in John's direction and cheering.

John and Snape could only stop talking at this time and each returned to their seats.

And the moment he sat down, the Slytherins next to him chatted with him enthusiastically, looking extremely excited.

John also smiled and responded in a neither humble nor condescending manner.

He was very used to the situation before him, but he just found it a little troublesome.

Fortunately, after a while, Dumbledore also arrived, and the noise in the auditorium gradually subsided.

"Another year has passed!" Dumbledore said happily, "Before you enjoy these delicious dishes, I must trouble everyone to listen to an old man's cliché.

What a year it has been!Your little minds must be richer than before... There is a whole summer vacation waiting for you, which allows you to digest those things and free up your brains before the start of the next semester. "

"Now, as far as I know, we first have to conduct the Academy Cup award ceremony. The specific scores of each academy are as follows: No. 4, Hufflepuff, 352 points; No. 3, Ravenclaw, 426 points; No. .2, Gryffindor, 462 points; No. 1, Slytherin, 492 points!"

After Dumbledore finished speaking, a thunderous cheer and stamping of feet erupted from the Slytherin table.

On the other hand, Gryffindors were all downcast and their pressure was extremely low.

"Yes, yes, good performance." Dumbledore continued, "But the recent events must also be taken into account."

As soon as these words came out, the auditorium became very quiet, and the smiles of the Slytherins also faded a little.

Dumbledore cleared his throat and said:

"I have some final points to distribute. Let me see, by the way...Mr. Ron Weasley, Miss Hermione Granger, Miss Michelle Shafik and Harry Potter Sir! They participated and cooperated in stopping Quirrell's conspiracy, and I will give them fifty points each!"

The cheers of the Gryffindors nearly knocked the enchanted ceiling over.

The stars above their heads also seemed to be shaking slightly.

"Mr. Draco Malfoy is also involved, plus fifty points for Slytherin!" Dumbledore looked at the Slytherin table and said with a smile, "In addition, Mr. John Shafik, he showed With unparalleled strategy and talent, he led and defeated Quirrell's conspiracy head-on! Therefore, Slytherin adds sixty points!"

The noise was deafening.

Unfortunately, these noises were not made by the Slytherins who had been given extra points, but by the Gryffindors.

They were so excited. Those Gryffindors who were shouting hoarsely while still counting the points in their minds knew that Gryffindor already had 662 points!This score has completely surpassed Slytherin's 602 points!

In other words, the decoration in the auditorium may need to make some small changes!

However, Dumbledore had no immediate intention to do so.

He was still looking at the Slytherin table with a smile, holding a small wooden box in his hand.

This gave Harry, who was among the Gryffindor crowd, a bad feeling.
