[HP] Being a problem student at Hogwarts

Chapter 78 The haze after Christmas

After spending a pleasant Christmas vacation at home, every student feels somewhat sad when they come back to school.

But soon, the familiar scene at the dinner was played again, making the children no longer interested in recalling the past vacation——

A Ravenclaw girl ran into the auditorium screaming: "Someone is petrified!"

There was an uproar in the auditorium.

"Hermione hasn't come back yet..." Ron said with a white face.

"Where has she gone?" Tom asked immediately.

"She said she would come just to borrow a book," Harry said uneasily. "She seemed to have discovered something and said she wanted to show it to you..."

Dumbledore waved his wand and made a loud crackling sound, forcing all students to fall silent. Then he stood up and said: "Quiet! From today on, all students must return to the common room of their college before six o'clock in the evening, and the prefect will take roll call. No student is allowed to leave the dormitory building after this time. Teachers will be escorted during each class. No student is allowed to use the restroom without being accompanied by the teacher on duty."

He looked around at everyone and added: "All Quidditch practices and matches have been postponed. There will be no further evening activities."

"But don't worry too much. Children, Hogwarts will do its best to protect every one of its students."

"I promise you."

The children lined up under the direction of the teachers and returned to the lounge uneasily to continue their interrupted dinner.

But Professor McGonagall called them away alone.

"Is it..." Ron asked in a breathy voice, looking like he was about to faint.

"I know this is a bit shocking," Professor McGonagall said in a surprisingly gentle voice as she walked away, "But everything will be fine." She repeated, "Everything will be fine."

Harry felt his insides lurch violently.

Tom followed Professor McGonagall into the hospital wing expressionlessly, and saw Madam Pomfrey looking down at the motionless Hermione.

The always agile little witch was lying stiffly on the hospital bed, her eyes wide open and her hands tightly clenched into fists.

Professor McGonagall bent down and took out a small makeup mirror from one of her hands, and said, "We guess she was looking in the mirror at the time, and unfortunately she saw something in the mirror that someone thought she shouldn't see. As for being poisoned...it's okay," she comforted the children softly. "When the mandrake matures, she will return to her original state..."

"I just need you to help her take notes during this period, and then help her make up for the lessons." Professor McGonagall also assigned them tasks.

"Where was she found?" Tom stared at his unfortunate friend.

"Near the library, a Ravenclaw student who was about to return books discovered her. I think the child must have been frightened..." Professor McGonagall hugged them one by one, "Of course, I know that for The pain and hurt will be even more unbearable for the unfortunate victim's friends...but remember, everything is going to be okay, kids."

"Yes, everything will be fine-"

With a bang, the door of the medical wing was pushed open. A short, chubby stranger with messy gray hair strutted in and said.

This stranger's outfit is simply a hodgepodge - a pinstriped old-fashioned suit, a bright red tie, a long black cloak, purple pointed boots, and a dark green top hat under his arm. The whole color scheme is very spicy. Eye.

But his expression was that official serious one, with just the right amount of worry. After a quick glance down at Hermione, Nearly Headless Nick, and poor Mrs. Norris, he said: "It's awful, three vicious attacks - I'm so sorry that happened, kids," he turned to The three students said, "The Ministry of Magic will take action immediately. Things will not and will never be allowed to get worse!"

He stood there with such a serious and passionate expression that for a moment Harry thought he too had been petrified.

But soon, a panting cameraman also squeezed in, nodding and bowing to apologize to him: "Sorry, Minister..." He held up the camera and begged: "Can you do it again? Maybe it would be better to change the angle..."

"Cornelly Fudge, Minister of Magic!" Ron took a breath, "My dad's boss!" Seven

Harry gave Ron a hard stomp to shut him up.

The stranger raised his eyebrows, adjusted his standing posture, raised his chest and raised his head and said again: "The Ministry of Magic will take action immediately. The situation will not and will never be allowed to get worse!"

"This is so ridiculous-" Professor McGonagall suppressed her anger and said, "You-"

Before she could finish her words, another handsome man with platinum hair, wrapped tightly in an extra-long black traveling cloak, strode in with a false social smile and commanded the photographer as if no one else was around: "Please take a few more photos of our dear minister cordially visiting the injured students."

This time there was no need for anyone to call him, several children could recognize who this was - he was simply the adult version of Draco Malfoy, even the arc of the fake smile was exactly the same.

Fudge posed several times under the cautious command of the cameraman. Some looked down at the patient sadly, some sat affectionately by the bed, and some held the petrified cat in his arms lovingly and pitifully...

"Would you like some, Mr. Malfoy?" the cameraman asked respectfully.

"No." Malfoy said lazily, turned to several children, and looked at them one by one very carefully: according to legend, Harry Potter, who survived the disaster and refused the hand of friendship from his son, had a lot of children at home. The unknown Dumbledore family who was too poor to support him raised red ferrets, and a certain Mudblood who had the guts to take away his son's first grade ranking last school year.

"Minister Fudge will take strong measures," Malfoy said in the tone of an official spokesman reading from a script. The cameraman next to him quickly raised his camera, "to prevent the continued occurrence of vicious incidents this school year. We already have specific details." The suspect, Rubeus Hagrid——"

He couldn't continue because Harry had already shouted: "What?!"

"That's impossible!" Harry shouted angrily, "Hagrid is innocent!"

Malfoy slowly showed a satisfied smile and said briskly: "Ah, Mr. Potter has different opinions on this. Of course, after all, he is young and may have been maliciously deceived by the hybrid giant——"

"Write it down." He said to the door in an impatient tone. So the reporter standing at the door panicked and grabbed his quill.

"But I have to tell you," Malfoy said to Harry in a disguised friendly tone: "Mr. Hagrid's criminal record is very unfavorable to him. You can read the official notice from the Ministry of Magic later for the specific details, because the case has not been closed at this time. , please forgive me for not being able to fully inform you.”
