HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

Power is a good thing.

Lycoris couldn't help but sigh when she saw Crabbe and Goyle no longer following Draco but walking side by side.

Who can resist saying that power is powerful when it can turn two little wizards whose only concern is eating into this?

"Lycoris, if I hadn't promised you that I would refuse Professor Umbridge's invitation, I would be the one joining the Hogwarts Special Search Team." Draco stood beside Lycoris, watching Crabbe and Goyle leave with mixed feelings.

If Lycoris hadn't informed me in advance, I would definitely have joined the Hogwarts Special Search Team.

Draco felt bad when he saw his former follower now wearing a silver "I" badge on his chest.

Lycoris turned to look at Draco, pretending to be puzzled, "Then why don't you go now? I think Professor Umbridge will definitely welcome you to join us."

"Because I promised you!" Draco glanced at Lycoris. Did she have a bad memory? She was the one who told me she wanted to refuse.

"You think this is a good thing for them, right?" Lycoris lowered her head and stroked her prefect badge without looking at Draco.

Isn’t that a good thing?

Crabbe and Goyle joined Professor Umbridge's Hogwarts Special Search Team when she was still the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Now that she is the headmaster, as members of her Special Search Team they will receive many preferential treatments and privileges.

"This thing," Lycoris pointed her index finger at the prefect badge on her chest and looked up at Draco, "is something we obtained ourselves, while Crabbe and Goyle's Special Search Team badge was obtained by joining Professor Umbridge."

"So does it make any difference?" Draco asked uncertainly.

"Of course there is a difference," Lycoris suddenly laughed, her tone relaxed, "You don't think Dumbledore will never come back, do you?"

"Do you think Dumbledore will come back?" Draco looked at Lycoris in shock, his gray-blue eyes wide open.

"Dumbledore was kicked out of Hogwarts in the second year, didn't he come back?" Lycoris directly gave an example to prove her point and answered Draco, "Whether he comes back or not is not up to us to decide."

That makes sense!

His father had gone to great lengths to kick Dumbledore out of Hogwarts in his second year, but he ended up coming back.

Now that Headmaster Dolores Umbridge has kicked Dumbledore out of Hogwarts, will he come back next year?

Watching Draco begin to think about this, Lycoris quietly let him think about it himself.

Think more and you will grow.

But apparently sometimes that's not the case.

Hermione, the most thoughtful of the Gryffindor trio, along with Harry and Ron, who were more impulsive and not very mature, still couldn't stop the trend of losing points. The three of them, plus a Hufflepuff boy they met on the road, glared at Crabbe and Goyle.

"You two are not qualified to have points deducted! You are not even prefects!" Ron retorted harshly to Crabbe and Goyle who were standing in front of him. He shouted, "Hermione and I are Gryffindor prefects. We are on the same level as Lycoris Snape and Draco Malfoy!"

"So what? So what if you are on the same level as Draco? Do we need his consent to deduct points from you?" Crabbe grinned and said sarcastically, "Why don't you call Draco over and ask him if he agrees with me deducting points from you?"

Goyle laughed approvingly, his huge body swaying around.

"Let me see how many points should be deducted!" Crabbe walked up the stairs step by step towards the Gryffindor trio.

He looked at the Gryffindor trio and said proudly, "Miss Granger insulted Headmaster Umbridge behind her back, ten points deducted. Potter, I hate you, ten points deducted. Weasley disrespected the members of the Hogwarts Special Search Team - that is, me, ten points deducted."

Even after Crabbe came down the stairs, he was still taller than all four of them.

"And you, you're in cahoots with Potter, five points deducted from Hufflepuff." Crabbe looked down at the boy in the yellow robe and laughed maliciously, "If you do it again next time, ten points will be deducted."

No, Crabbe is sick, right?

In a short while, Gryffindor had deducted thirty points from our score.

The three Gryffindors looked at each other. Ron picked up his wand and was about to attack, but Harry quickly stopped him.

"Very good!" Crabbe clapped his hands and continued, "Ron Weasley tried to assault a member of the Special Search Team. Another ten points will be deducted."

"His deduction doesn't count!" Hermione whispered to comfort Ron and Harry.

Before, Lycoris could successfully deduct points because she was a Slytherin prefect, so Crabbe was nothing.

"It doesn't count?" Crabbe heard it and sneered, "Why don't you go and see your Gryffindor Gems before you say that? We, the Hogwarts Special Search Team, are under the jurisdiction of Headmaster Umbridge and have the power to deduct points."

Crabbe took Goyle away, leaving the four of them to hurry to the gem.

It's over! There are really fewer Hufflepuffs!

The boy glanced at Harry and whispered, "I'll go back first."

If he didn't go back to Hufflepuff, he would really lose points if Crabbe saw him.
