Primordial Warlock of Hogwarts

After a brief inspection, Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the uncoagulated cat blood on the ground. She said solemnly: "Don't wait for Professor Dumbledore. Come with me."

Professor McGonagall waved her magic wand, and a silver cat jumped out from the tip of the wand. The shining cat stepped in the air and ran briskly in the other direction, covering a considerable distance with each jump. , only jumped three times, and flew out of the window towards a higher floor.

"By the way," Professor McGonagall controlled Filch and Mrs. Norris's cat to float up and follow her at a distance. She wanted to show her usual serious attitude, but looking at DeWitt, she felt that this The child must have been at a loss when he encountered such a strange thing again. It would be too pitiful to be frightened by him again. Finally, he sighed and said, "What on earth is going on?"

DeWitt responded dutifully: "I woke up early and saw this when I left the lounge."

"What about the letters?" Professor McGonagall had to ask.

"do not know."

"Have you ever had any contact with Filch?"

"Ahem, last night..."

"Okay, I understand," Professor McGonagall sighed tiredly again. She also understood the outline of the whole thing. It was nothing more than a night out, Filch chasing, blocking the door, etc.: "The Weasley children Now go call Professor Dumbledore, have you done anything in the meantime?"

"A simple bandage," DeWitt pointed to Mrs. Norris and said, "I can't understand Filch's injury. I poured some antidote into his mouth."

"You should be glad that the curse on Filch is not very powerful and has not been passed on to you. Don't be so reckless without understanding the situation. Wait until someone with experience comes over," Professor McGonagall said: " I know you all don't like Filch, but I'm glad to see you are willing to help him. Kind people will always receive gifts from other kind people."

"Filch is just doing his job. The only problem is that sometimes his behavior is too... extreme," DeWitt said. "Most students can understand and can face this kind of situation like us." The situation makes the same choice."

This answer made Professor McGonagall very pleased. She nodded, and keenly noticed some details, and asked: "Who else? Besides the Weasley twins and you."

"Oh, and Harry and Ron."

Professor McGonagall's face didn't look good again, and she asked, "Were we together last night?"

"That's a coincidence."

Professor McGonagall stopped talking, and her steps were a little faster, probably because she was thinking about the house points - and then the House Cup - and then Slytherin's consecutive championships - and then Snape's bad face...

Five students, as well as professors from two colleges, the school nurse Madam Pomfrey, and the principal, gathered in the school hospital.

"According to me, all the students who have anything to do with Potter should be expelled." Snape, as the person who should be the least likely to appear, showed up without being notified, and said in a greasy tone: "In this way, the entire school It will be much cleaner.”

Harry glared at him, Ron and Harry shared the same hatred, and the twins pretended not to hear anything and made faces at DeWitt behind their backs.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and remained silent. Professor Dumbledore used the candied haws-like wand to light Filch's body without paying any attention to Snape.

"Ha, the savior of the wizarding world?" Snape and Harry looked at each other angrily, with an arrogant and contemptuous smile on their lips, and chattered at the same time: "Perhaps Potter can destroy the future of the wizarding world without anyone else doing it. , Professor Dumbledore, I again strongly recommend that Potter and his friends be expelled."

Professor McGonagall's face became increasingly ugly.

Dumbledore finally spoke, and the smile on his face showed that Filch was in good condition: "Severus, be tolerant, you can also see that this has nothing to do with the students."

"Potter's mere existence can bring about all misfortunes," Snape said coldly: "I still recommend that he be expelled."

"Okay, okay," Dumbledore shook his head with a smile and said to Professor McGonagall: "Minerva, please, if you can, it's still too late to rest for a while. I understand the specific situation, but I still need to Go to the scene and take a look, there are still some details that need to be asked about these...um...children."

After Professor McGonagall left, Dumbledore led the students to the principal's office. Snape did not leave and followed him, but said nothing and remained indifferent to the looks in Harry and Ron's eyes.

When they arrive at the place where Filch was injured, the first thing everyone who comes here will see are the two conspicuous letters "DW". Although Dumbledore is a bit old, it is impossible for him to not see it. But said nothing.Even Snape did the same. He just glanced at the two words in blood and didn't pay any more attention.

"It's a snake," Snape said after walking around a few times, squatting on the ground and looking at it, "but this snake... isn't a magical animal, it's just an ordinary snake."

Dumbledore asked flatly: "Are you sure?"

"Very sure," Snape said. "I can recognize all magical animals. I remember clearly which parts of those animals can be used to make potions. However, I have no memory of the traces of this snake crawling. So that's the snake I don't understand... Potter, why do you have the courage to pout? Do you think your shallow potions knowledge can challenge my authority?"

Dumbledore, as if he hadn't heard Snape's last words, said calmly: "So this is an accident?"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple," Snape said worriedly about Filch's condition after scolding Harry, "What's behind this..."

"I think you saw it wrong." Dumbledore turned his back to the students, and only Snape could look at him. During this period, Snape glanced at him with a look he had never seen before. profit.

"What kind of look is that?" Ron and Harry whispered: "It makes people feel... uncomfortable."

There was silence for a while. This short silence made Ron's muttering very abrupt, and he was so frightened that he quickly stopped talking.

"Perhaps I remember it wrong," Snape's voice was lowered and he said, "This is probably just a poisonous snake that mistakenly entered the castle."

After saying that, Snape turned and left, not forgetting to glare at Harry again with normal eyes as he left.

"It's much more normal this time," Ron couldn't help but added, "It's better to look at him like this, which makes people angry."

Harry didn't know what to say.

Dumbledore turned around and asked gently: "So, too much time has been consumed now. No one wants to see this accident. No matter what happens at night, before leaving, I hope you will You can satisfy my curiosity as an old man - what are you doing up so early?"

"This is a secret, Professor," the twins quickly answered, fearing that their first-year friends around them would not be able to hold it in any longer: "In short, this is a secret that does no harm to Hogwarts."

"Okay," Dumbledore really wanted to not mind the answer at all, and said with a smile, "I'm waiting for the day when this secret will be revealed."
