Hogwarts: The Wizarding World's First Capitalist

But even with Malfoy's constant comfort, Harry still looked very sad, and finally he lay on the table and cried.

Seeing this scene, Carl moved his lips slightly as if he was ready to say something comforting, but the person he was comforting was not actually Harley.

Instead, Mr. Malfoy put his head close to Harry, stroking her head and whispering comforting words.

This kid's movements were very skillful and it was obvious that this was not the first time he had done such a thing. Even though his face was bruised like a tabby cat's,

It was not difficult for others to see from the enjoyment on Mr. Malfoy's face that this boy was completely immersed in it.

He was completely unaware of the danger approaching until a hand landed powerfully on his shoulder.

A dark and terrifying face suddenly appeared beside his ear and spoke coldly.

"Mr. Draco Malfoy, you once promised me that you would never let Harry cry, so may I ask what is going on now?"

"And why is your hand on Harley's head? Who allowed your middle and index fingers to touch Harley's hair?!"

Draco shivered visibly all over, his skin felt like it was being electrocuted, and a shock wave rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Wherever it passed, the skin trembled visibly, even those hidden by clothing.

Professor Snape's appearance was indeed terrifying and shocking enough, even Carl and the other two who were sitting opposite Malfoy were shocked.

There were corresponding reactions, such as Cedric who stopped eating out of fear, and Carl who lowered his head in silence.

Even Kevin Lestrange, who was usually the calmest, shuddered with fear.

Not to mention Draco, this kid looked like he was possessed by a ghost, his face turned pale and he turned his head away mechanically.

The first time he saw the dark dead face, he was immediately frightened out of his wits and spoke incoherently.

"Professor... Godfather... I ate three bowls of rice yesterday... No... I didn't touch Harry's hair."

"I just kissed her on the cheek as a courtesy. ... No, that's not right..... It was just a gentleman's behavior. I didn't..."

"Professor, let's discuss first how to solve the current problem. As for the other issues, we can deal with them later."

"The school year is still long anyway."

Seeing that Draco was almost scared into a lunatic, he spoke without restraint and exposed himself crazily in order to avoid breaking his promise to the old bee.

Carl had promised that there would never be bloodshed in Hogwarts, so he could only ask to help the other party to avoid the furious Professor Snape.

He immediately killed the little bastard who was trying to take advantage of him.

You know, when Draco said, "It was just a polite kiss on the cheek."

The murderous intent in Professor Snape's eyes was almost becoming a physical entity, if looks could kill.

Draco might have been cut into pieces long ago, but fortunately, at this critical moment, Carl came to his rescue.

The most crucial thing was that Harry, because of the noise, stopped crying and looked up at Professor Snape.

When those emerald green eyes, still filled with tears, looked at the gloomy old bat, one look was worth a thousand words.

When she saw it was Professor Snape, Harry sucked his nose a few times, stopped crying and spoke in an apologetic tone.

"I'm sorry, Professor. I shouldn't have cried. I failed to live up to your expectations. I apologize."

When a weak girl shows her strength to her old father, even a heart made of steel will be melted.

Professor Snape was no exception. His face, which had always been gloomy and expressionless, showed real tenderness for the first time.

He now slapped the frightened Draco aside and walked up to Harry alone.

A hand reached out and lingered over Harley's head for a long time, finally just landing on her shoulder.

"Don't apologize to me, kid. You are very outstanding. People as outstanding as you will inevitably be ostracized by some incompetent trash."

"This is the consequence that every outstanding person has to bear. You have been very good and you have done everything you can."

"It's those people who don't know what's good for them. They are a bunch of stupid idiots."

Harry was obviously accustomed to Professor Snape's unique way of comforting her, and she responded to his comfort with her smile.

At the same time, he covered the big hand with his small hand. At this moment, the other four people couldn't help feeling moved.

Even Carl had to admit that the scene before him was indeed very heartwarming and had always been one of the goals he had been striving to achieve.

Why do we have to be so bitter and resentful? Isn't it simple to understand each other sometimes?

But the warmth and happiness in his heart did not last for a second, as a cold and deadly gaze shot straight at him.

Looking at Professor Snape's cold expression, Carl's heart skipped a beat again. Damn it, this damn old bat was going to throw the question to him again.

Sure enough, as he expected, Professor Snape was enjoying the warmth that Harry brought him.

While doubling his negative emotions to Karl, he spoke in a cold tone.

"At the same time, as I always teach you, Harry, you must learn to see the essence of things."

"Understand the root cause of the problem. Like I said before, you did nothing wrong in this matter."

"You are just suffering the consequences for a despicable bastard who has no respect for teachers, lacks discipline, and likes to play tricks on his classmates."

After he finished speaking, Karl suddenly felt four pairs of eyes focused on him, three of which he could understand.

After all, these three guys basically knew the truth of the matter, but one of the gazes came from Draco Malfoy.

This made Carl very unhappy. He thought to himself that he was speaking for you, you damn guy. In this case, I also oppose this marriage.

Having made up his mind, Carl has begun planning how to make Mr. Malfoy pay the price for his ignorance.

On the other hand, facing such an obvious threat from Professor Snape, he certainly could not continue to turn a deaf ear to it.

I could only smile and look at Harley and say.

"There is no need to feel sad my lady, as Professor Snape has just said."

"You are just an ordinary person who was innocently implicated in a great wave of the times. There is absolutely no need to feel sad."

"When this wave recedes, those students who have been deceived will naturally find out who their true friends are."

"They will also come back to you, apologize to you, and become your friend again."

Hearing this, Harley's beautiful eyes rolled around, then she narrowed her eyes and stared at Carl, asking in a scrutinizing manner.

"The person Professor Snape just mentioned, it was you, right?"
