[HP] Being a problem student at Hogwarts

Chapter 222 Helping the Tiger

The Dark Lord did not expect that less than half an hour after he left the station, he would receive a notice to clean up the mess as the parent of the student who caused the accident.

This feeling is quite fresh.

He was listening to Lucius's briefing on the press release for today's school day, and he took along Malfoy, who was beginning to worry about his little dragon.

"Well, it seems that there is some kind of component failure in the carriage at the back, and it doesn't obey the orders." The conductor said tremblingly, "I was afraid that I would continue to drag myself out of trouble, so I simply stopped..."

"Judging from the analysis of the magic reaction," Professor McGonagall, who rushed over after receiving the news, was still meticulously tying up her hair, "it is probably one of the students whose magic power is out of control. According to the students present, we already have preliminary suspects. ." She pointedly cast a meaningful glance through the glass window at Tom, Harry and others who were sitting in a row inside.

The Dark Lord followed suit and cast his gaze over.

Lucius looked absently into the car in front, hoping that his little dragon was in a safe place - but soon, the conspicuous golden hair jumped into his eyes - Draco Malfoy was With his two big followers, he walked to the last carriage in a swaggering manner.

Lucius's eyesight went dark. Others are the sons of rich people, and they should not stand under a dangerous wall. His stupid son knew that there were tigers in the mountains and went to the tiger mountains.

"Lord?" He leaned forward and whispered to the Dark Lord.

But the Dark Lord just raised his hand to signal him to stay quiet.

So Malfoy, who didn't even look out the window and knew nothing about it, opened the compartment door excitedly under the gaze of several silent adults outside the car.

"What's the matter?" Harry didn't want to speak at first, but Tom stretched out his magic tentacles and poked him hard, so he had to ask Malfoy impatiently before he could speak, while trying to provoke him. He raised his eyebrows and hoped that the smug Malfoy would pay attention to the window.

"Be polite, Potter, or I'll put you in solitary confinement." Malfoy said in a drawl. His sleek blond hair and pointed chin were exactly like his father's. "You see, I'm different from you. I have become a superior, which means that unlike you, I have the right to punish others."

Tom cleared his throat loudly.

He's not a prefect either.

"It seems that I have touched a sore spot." Draco looked at Tom sideways and said with a bad smile, "But people who abide by the law never need to worry -" he said pretendingly, and looked at Tom , "But some people have to behave themselves at all times, Potter." 7

He held his head high and added: "I'll be like a hunting dog——"

Seeing Lucius' stiff smirk from the corner of his eye, Tom had to cough louder in an attempt to shut Draco up.

"What's wrong with you?" Draco asked helplessly, with unfamiliar concern, "If you have a cold, I have a refreshing medicine over there."

"Thanks," Tom mouthed at the window, "I suggest you look outside."

Draco turned pale to face his father's stiff smirk.

"I have always hoped that my son's ideals would be more successful than being a hound." Lucius said coldly, waving his cane and making half of the carriage wall disappear.

Draco was angry and ashamed, his face turned from white to red. He originally wanted to talk back, but when he saw the Dark Lord beside him, he didn't dare to speak.

Lucius did not continue to talk about him, but turned sideways and bowed slightly to the Dark Lord, asking for instructions: "Lord?"

The Dark Lord nodded and extended his arm to Professor McGonagall: "Minerva?"

Professor McGonagall didn't even look at the Dark Lord's outstretched hand, and was the first to walk into the carriage with a straight face, frowning at the students sitting in rows.

"Say what you just said again," she ordered.

"Uh..." Neville said nervously, hugging his pot of Mibu Miba tightly, "I wanted to show off my new plant... so I poked it."

"Then I want to avoid those flying plant sap," Tom smiled obediently at Professor McGonagall and the Dark Lord, "Well, there's a little problem with the spell." He also gestured with his hands to indicate Really just a little bit of a "minor" problem.

"Gryffindor." The Dark Lord snorted, causing all the Gryffindors in the carriage to stare at him dissatisfied.

He walked around the car nonchalantly, his glowing red eyes seeming to be able to see through the surface to the internal structure. Then he rolled up his wide sleeves and shook out his famous yew wand.

The Dark Lord's wrist swiveled greatly, and in an instant it was like a black light suddenly exploded.

Tom's magic mist formed into a ball like a reflex, wrapping Tom in layers, but the magic spell was not directed at him - after the dark light receded, the entire carriage changed drastically. It was decorated with gorgeous and sparkling decorations, and the interior space was expanded. A group of them gathered in this small car and it didn't seem crowded at all.

"Okay." The Dark Lord said lightly, "Considering that the students from Hogwarts are still on the bus, I didn't make any big changes. But to be honest..." He smiled sarcastically, "Miller Baby, you should also advise Dumbledore not to transfer all the money from the school account to the Order of the Phoenix. This Hogwarts Express is still the same alchemy formation we used when we went to school, it is too old."

"The money allocated to the school, even if it is a copper Knut, is all spent on what the school should spend!" Professor McGonagall said sternly.

Before the Dark Lord looked over, Lucius had already shown a social smile to Professor McGonagall very intelligently: "Then you will not mind if the school director conducts a routine accounting of Hogwarts, right?" He was polite. He nodded at Professor McGonagall, "The school board will send professional financial personnel to the school soon to check the accounts. We apologize for any intrusion."

Professor McGonagall gritted her teeth. It's a school board meeting, isn't it Malfoy's opinion? The people sent here to check the accounts can find big problems no matter how big they are.

"This is very good," the Dark Lord said approvingly. "The school's accounts must be clear and understandable, and be published regularly. It serves as a social supervision function, and also allows parents and all social people who care about our education to feel at ease and secure. Comfortable.”

Lucius bowed his head respectfully: "What you taught is that we immediately contact the Ministry of Magic to draft a plan together to normalize this financial inventory and include it in the annual assessment standards of the magic school. Not only must it be done regularly Check, and also 'look back' from time to time. Convey the instructions of 'keeping accounts clearly and behaving cleanly'."

A group of children looked around stupidly and looked back and forth at the faces of the adults. No one except Draco and Tom understood how exhausting this kind of inspection could be.

"Okay," the Dark Lord admired Professor McGonagall's expression, and Shi Shiran said, "Now that the problem is solved-" He saw Lucius winking wildly.

The Dark Lord, who had just been pleased by Lucius's excellent cooperation, graciously allowed him to speak: "Lucius?"

"The Hogwarts Express accidentally broke down, and the Dark Lord, who is concerned about the future of British wizarding education, immediately came to the scene to express his care and condolences -" Lucius said with a smile, "Reporters and photographers from the Daily Prophet are already in place - - Please forgive me, Master, their magic power is low, it took them a while to get here, and they didn’t have time to see the touching figure of you who just worked so hard for the children.”

Professor McGonagall's face was already downcast: "Excuse me, but he was called here as the guardian of the student who caused the accident——"

"At the same time, our beloved Dark Lord is also the guardian of a certain student at Hogwarts!" Lucius answered without changing his expression, gesturing to the reporter who came over panting to be smarter, "Write it down."

He continued: "As a parent, the Dark Lord expressed concern about the old magic facilities at Hogwarts——"

Professor McGonagall's face turned green.

Tom, who was watching, began to express concern about Draco's school life, but Draco didn't notice at all and looked at his father with bright eyes.

At the same time, Lucius had respectfully asked his master to step out of the car, and directly renovated the Hogwarts Express with the Dark Lord's unrivaled power. As the Dark Lord's number one henchman, he very naturally conjured up a stone tablet to stand, recording that the Dark Lord donated a brand new Hogwarts Express to Hogwarts on X month X year , and also added the Malfoy family's willingness to donate some interior decorations to the car...

"You can't do this!" Professor McGonagall finally couldn't bear it and pulled out her wand when Malfoy tried to suggest renaming the train and painting it on the outside of the carriage.

"Stop your ridiculous farce, Malfoy!" She stopped in front of Malfoy and said sternly.

"I never knew that the teachers at Hogwarts view parents' contributions to the school this way." Malfoy said coldly.

Before Professor McGonagall could actually cast the spell, he suddenly changed his face and smiled kindly at Professor McGonagall: "Don't be angry, Minerva." He held Professor McGonagall's shoulders and forcibly took her a little further away. A little bit, it means avoiding the Dark Lord.

Then he lowered his voice and asked with a bit of genuine sadness: "You don't think that the Dark Lord doesn't mind at all if you call him here for nothing, do you?"

"My little dragon is still here," he patted Professor McGonagall on the shoulder, "I'm more afraid of him suddenly getting angry than you are." He shuddered and lowered his eyebrows melancholy, "Take a step back and say, Hogwarts Express renovation is not a bad thing, it is better than violent conflicts and bloodshed."

Professor McGonagall looked at Malfoy's impeccable smile and snorted heavily.

"Enough is enough, Malfoy." She barely suppressed her anger. She didn't know whether Malfoy's statement that "it's better than violent conflict and bloodshed" was the truth or an intentional threat, but considering that there were all the students in Hogwarts behind her, she finally endured it. . "It will not end well if you act as a villain."

"Thank you for your advice, Minerva." Malfoy nodded to her reservedly, the smile on his face not moving at all, still impeccable.
