Chapter 757 Punishment and Confinement

During dinner, Dumbledore, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared on time at the teacher's desk.

He looked dusty, and his silver hair and beard had become dull. Although he tried hard to hide it, if you looked carefully, you could still see the exhaustion on his face.

"He must be very busy recently." Kangna glanced at the teacher's desk and said.

"Yeah." Kyle nodded.

Although he is at Hogwarts, he can also know from the recent "Daily Prophet" that most of the current morale against the Death Eaters outside is because of Dumbledore.

So in order to deal with the increasingly rampant Death Eaters, he had to leave Hogwarts and allow himself to appear outside frequently.

The only problem is Quidditch.

"So you have learned it, right?" Kangna's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "The method Professor Lagore mentioned...the method of using magic words to change the essence of magic."

The tight pressure almost made Malfoy collapse.

This is what she doesn't understand the most.

Especially now that it's May, if he can't complete the task before the holidays, that person will definitely not let him go.

He remembered that Kangna had been doing homework in the common room in the afternoon, and he didn't seem to find a chance to tell her about it.

"No, I'm talking about another person." Snape said softly, "Nosy Kyle... He does like to meddle in other people's business, but you'd better forget about it and just pretend that nothing happened... At least don't bother him until you finish your plan."

Isn't Kyle supposed to be in the Room of Requirement? Why did he suddenly run to the seventh floor and get involved with Potter and Malfoy?

"I know..." After a long time, Malfoy muttered quietly and continued walking downstairs.

But Kyle naturally didn't know what she was thinking.

"That's because I guessed wrong." Kyle shrugged indifferently, "It's just a pity... I think I can add at least fifty points this time."

The main reason was that Kyle was scolded the most in that class. Fifty-five minutes of the one-hour class was spent being scolded, and it was difficult for her to forget it.

"Nearly all of Hufflepuff knows now, and he said you were involved."

At the same time, in the principal's office on the eighth floor. Dumbledore steeled himself and said to the two people in front of him.

"I guess you must have been lucky that day." Dumbledore said with a smile. "You have a very good friend, and a very generous one."

"Don't look at me like that, I'm just making an analogy." Snape said, "In short, when you face Dumbledore in the future, you'd better put away all your thoughts, let alone look into his eyes. "

"I really want to promise you, Harry, but I can't." Dumbledore shook his head. "You have to realize what you did wrong. Missing an activity you like may be more meaningful than a simple confinement."

"What?" Dumbledore raised his head and asked.

"Yeah, that's really causing trouble for you." Malfoy's voice was also cold. "I guess you must be regretting it now, for agreeing to protect this stupid student like me."

"How are you? Are you okay?" Pansy asked worriedly.

"It seems that you guessed wrong." Connor said with some humor: "Professor Dumbledore didn't want to find you as the person responsible for breaking up the fight."

"It doesn't matter, Hufflepuff doesn't lack the fifty points now." Connor said.

After another pause, Malfoy said, "I know what to do, I don't need you to teach me!"

"that power!"

"What, you want to protect Harry Potter?" Malfoy said with narrowed eyes.

"Oh, it's Mikel." Kangna said casually: "In order to stay up all night to catch up on homework, he went to the school hospital in the afternoon to get some pick-me-up, and happened to hear some.

And Gryffindor is still the well-deserved number one. Ravenclaw should have been number one, but a few days ago Harry was deducted 50 points and took the lead.

"Hermione helped me a lot," said Harry.

"Professor, I have one more thing!" Harry suddenly said: "Maybe it can make up for my mistake this time."

"It's a coincidence that I just decided to take a day off, and something like this happened again, so I tried to persuade me to start a fight." Kyle briefly recounted the previous events, including overhearing the explosion and rushing to the scene. He went to the seventh floor and pulled Harry and Malfoy away, saving them from being carried to the campus hospital.

"I told him I needed his help with that memory."

Sure enough, his punishment was the same as Malfoy's, which was points deduction and confinement, but the one he needed to find was Professor McGonagall.

At this point, Malfoy's expression suddenly turned ferocious, "If it weren't for that nosy Kyle, I would definitely teach him a lesson!"

"You think you are great, don't you?" Malfoy suddenly showed a sneer, "You protected me in front of Dumbledore, so I should be grateful and tell you all the plans?"

Before his plan is completed, he must stay as far away from the other party as possible.

"So that's the reason." Snape came next to him, "No matter what you want to do, you should lower your presence as much as possible now. Why bother troublesome Potter."

And what impressed her most... was using magic words to change the magic power. To put it simply, it was to invalidate the magic power.

"That's pretty good," Kangna couldn't help but laugh, "At least Professor Lagore won't scold you anymore, right?"

"Really?" Snape sneered, "Do you think you can stop Dumbledore after hastily practicing Occlumency for a month? Not only do you overestimate yourself, you also underestimate Dumbledore."

Crabbe and Goyle originally wanted to go there, but seeing him like this, they stopped, looked at each other and then went elsewhere.

A giant snake-like statue swam by and formed a door with its body.

"Everything went well after that and I went to Slughorn's office with a bottle of wine and he was very happy and drank a lot.

"This is it." Harry took out a small glass bottle, "I got Slughorn's memory."

"What about you, why did you get involved?" Kangna asked.

"So I want to deduct 100 points from Slytherin, and confinement is also necessary. Professor Snape will be in charge. As for the time... it will be from 8 to 11 o'clock every Saturday morning until the end of the school year."

Harry stood there nervously, waiting for his punishment.

Soon, the two came to the corridor outside.

"I guess I've learned it." He thought for a moment and said: "Another reason is that the spells used by Harry and Malfoy are not particularly complicated and relatively difficult. It would definitely not work if they were replaced by two professors. ”

Malfoy grabbed his hair, struggling again.

Lagor is the Charms professor in the Room of Requirement who looks exactly like Old Tom from the Leaky Cauldron.

When he heard the name of the Dark Lord, Malfoy suddenly stopped in place, his body couldn't help trembling, and cold sweat fell down his forehead.

"Don't worry, I will..." Snape said, still standing in front of Malfoy.

On the other side, after Malfoy and Snape left, only Dumbledore and Harry were left in the principal's office.

He angrily turned his eyes to Snape, but it seemed that because Dumbledore was beside him, he said nothing. He just took a deep breath, opened the door and strode outside.

During this period, Nearly Headless Nick came over, but he was not looking for Kyle, but Harry and Malfoy.

It was not difficult to tell from Harry's words that what he drank in the morning was not ordinary pumpkin juice, but pumpkin juice with Felixir added.

After dinner, everyone stood up and left the table, preparing to return to the common room.

"Yes." Harry nodded: "After the first week of vacation, she gave me a glass of pumpkin juice at breakfast and asked me to find Slughorn.

"This is really exciting news." Dumbledore suddenly stopped feeling sleepy. "That's great. I knew you could do it."

Then he turned around and pushed hard. Malfoy seemed not to have expected him to do this, and his body staggered and almost hit the table next to him.

Kyle stood up awkwardly.

"It's hard to say." Kyle rubbed his forehead. Thinking of the grumpy old professor gave him a headache, and this wasn't the only thing he wanted to learn.

"In that case..." Snape said sarcastically: "Then why do you think you can deceive Dumbledore?

"Tsk." Kyle smacked his lips.

But at this time, he felt much more relaxed than before. After all, even Malfoy hadn't been expelled, so he definitely didn't have to worry.

It's Snape.

He didn't even dare to think of that name, so how could he hide his thoughts in front of him.

It has to be said that Mikel was born to be an Auror, and he has never disappointed anyone when it comes to gathering intelligence.

This is why Dumbledore has been increasingly busy recently.

Malfoy became even more angry and kicked the armor next to him hard.

"Okay, you should go back to sleep now." Dumbledore said, rubbing his eyes.

"Draco, you're back." A group of people immediately gathered around.

So no matter what, he couldn't stay out of it. The stronger Kyle became, the more agitated he felt.

"Of course." Dumbledore nodded and said softly: "Professor Snape, I hope you can make Malfoy realize his mistake today, otherwise, I will have to hand him over to Professor McGonagall. ”

After all, everyone in the wizarding world knows that what Voldemort fears most is Dumbledore. Only when he takes action can others see hope.

Although he had already thought of a plan, when he was about to implement it, he suddenly regretted it.

"Right." Connor seemed to have thought of something. She spread jam on her slice of bread and asked, "I heard that Potter and Malfoy had a fight in the bathroom?"

"After that, we talked about the love potion thing last time. Although he didn't want to mention it, he still told me his suspicion that someone wanted to use him to deal with someone in the school. He guessed it was me.

Kyle did not move, but sat there and waited for a while. He felt that there was a high probability that he would be called to the principal's office. Waiting here would save him a lot of walking.

The two returned to the common room.

"Yes, you are indeed stupid," said Snape.

"I guess not," said Snape.

"Do you know what you just did!"

"So Horace gave you his memory?" Dumbledore asked.

Malfoy didn't argue because Snape was telling the truth.

While Harry was speaking, he had already stood up, holding Slughorn's memory and striding to the cabinet with the pensieve.

…

"Or maybe you have forgotten that Dumbledore is the person the Dark Lord fears most."

There was another moment of silence, until they reached the foyer on the first floor, and Malfoy finally spoke:

"No, I discovered him. I didn't see that much."

Malfoy raised his head in horror, as if he didn't expect Snape to say such... treacherous words, even though what he said was true.

"Don't worry, I won't fire you, Mr. Malfoy, but you must realize your mistake."

"That Scarhead!" Malfoy said viciously. "He followed me and discovered my secret!"

"Oh? Miss Granger?"

Then how did she know? It couldn't be Snape...

"Yes," Harry said with a smile, "He gave it to me."

"Professor, can I change the time." He hesitated. "There will be a Quidditch match on Saturday morning next month. Can I go see Professor McGonagall in the afternoon? It doesn't matter even if the time is doubled."

"Okay." Malfoy raised his head and looked at Dumbledore, his eyes changing constantly.

As soon as they left the scope of the principal's office, Snape chased after him and said coldly: "Looking at Dumbledore with that look, are you afraid that he won't know your ulterior motives? If it weren't for me, you might have already was discovered."

"This is indeed the case." Kyle said: "And the two of them are serious about it, and they are determined to fight until death."

Because this plan will affect too many people, many innocent students will be involved, and he doesn't want this.

It was precisely because of this that he was on the verge of collapse under the tremendous pressure and went to the bathroom to vent, and was seen by Harry.

Malfoy walked straight in and closed the door hard.

"No problem, Principal Dumbledore." He said, "If there is nothing else, why don't we go back first."

But Dumbledore didn't pay too much attention to this, or maybe now was not the time.

But to put it simply, in addition to dealing with Dumbledore, the other task given to him by that person was to kill Kyle.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to come to Slughorn's door when he wanted to drink and successfully got what he wanted.

"You don't need to meddle in other people's business!" Malfoy said, "Bella taught me Occlumency during the holidays, and Dumbledore couldn't see through what I was thinking."

By this time, the two of them had arrived in front of the Slytherin common room, and Malfoy spoke the password.

Harry had no objection to the confinement, as long as he didn't go to Snape, he could accept it.

Snape followed soon after.

"You'd better give up this idea," Snape said flatly.

Don't bother Kyle...yeah, he took control easily with just a wave of his wand, and that weird magic that turned the blaster into a raven.

"What can I do?" Malfoy said perfunctorily. He pushed Pansy away and walked to an armchair in the corner to sit down.

"Hey, boy, what do you want to do? Challenge me to a duel?" a knight said loudly in the portrait.

Of course he knew what Snape meant.

But after he waited for more than ten minutes, everyone in the auditorium was gone, and no one came to ask him to go to the principal's office.

But the next second, a person came in front of him, blocking this gaze.

But neither Malfoy nor Snape paid attention to him.

"I didn't think so." Snape frowned. "But I must remind you that it is best to put away all your thoughts in front of Dumbledore, let alone show your ambitions and goals. Otherwise, it will be easy to see through."

Kangna and Kyle had attended his classes several times before. Although she didn't understand them, she still remembered some of his key points.

Malfoy was obviously still a little unconvinced.

"Then let me put it another way." Snape glanced at him, "Do you think you can hide your secret in front of the Dark Lord?"

"Secret?" Snape frowned, "Did he see your plan?"

In this year's house rankings, Hufflepuff has occupied the first position since Christmas, and its score is more than 80 points higher than the second-placed Slytherin.

"Yeah..." Kyle nodded subconsciously, but he was stunned for a moment, "Wait, who did you listen to?"

"Now." Dumbledore put the pensieve on the table and poured the memory in the bottle into it. "We are finally going to see the truth of the matter. Harry, come on..."

…
