Chapter 243: Being slandered, betraying teammates, and the second person to be petrified

After Professor McGonagall finished explaining to everyone.

The bell just rang, and the class ended.

Harry and Lin Xia jointly went to Justin and explained to him what they said on the fighting stage yesterday.

Justin is with his friend Ernie.

When they saw Lin Xia and Harry arriving, they were a little surprised, but they didn't look scared.

After listening to the two people's explanations, Justin said it didn't matter.

But he mainly said this to Lin Xia.

"You are so outstanding, and your parents are pure-blood wizards from the East. Even if you are really the heir of Slytherin, there is no reason to specifically target me."

Lin Xia said: "Justin, not only me, but even Harry will not have any hostility towards you."

Justin glanced at Harry, hesitated, and finally said sorry.

"Harry, I said some bad things about you before. I'm sorry. I hope you don't mind it. I just said it casually without any malice."

Harry shook his head, "I don't care, I don't even know what you said.

I hope you don't think too much. I didn't ask the snake to attack you. Lin Xia can testify for me. "

Harry had never been so grateful to Lin Xia at this moment.

Thank God!

He thought to himself: Fortunately, she is a Parseltongue like me. We both know Parseltongue, so I won't be misunderstood.

Ernie said: "That's good, we all misunderstood before."

Harry asked in confusion: "What have you misunderstood?"

Ernie and Justin looked at each other, and Ernie said hesitantly: "I heard from others that you hate the Muggles who live with you. If you were the heir of Slytherin, you would definitely clean up those Muggles. "

Harry felt a pang of anger rising in his heart.

"I do dislike the Dursleys, but I don't want to kill them. I-"

Seeing that Ernie and Justin's expressions were getting more and more frightened, Lin Xia interrupted: "Okay, the misunderstanding has been resolved. I hope that next time you hear such rumors, explain to other little wizards that Harry has no hatred. muggles.

You can think about it, Hermione was born in a Muggle family, but Hermione is our good friend.

If Harry hated everything about Muggles, then he would never be friends with Hermione.

Also, I think you should be aware that Harry is a Gryffindor, not a Slytherin, so don’t attach Slytherin’s theory of blood purification to him.

He has courage and passion like fire in his heart, and he will never be a Slytherin. "

Harry was in a bad mood and did not go to the laboratory, wanting to wander around alone.

Others had just emerged from a corridor, accompanying Harry.

In Harry's current state, they were not happy with Harry running around, for fear that something would happen, or that he would make some shocking remarks when he got angry.

Being misunderstood and slandered by rumors is indeed very difficult for the little wizard.

Lin Xia thought for a while and gave Harry a suggestion.

"Ignoring it is the most correct thing to do. At the same time, Harry, your grades must be gradually improved.

For example, if you get a Hogwarts top student badge and package yourself with good grades, the little wizard will have a better impression of you. "

Hermione nodded in agreement: "I think that makes sense."

Ron frowned: "No, if we don't have research talent, it will be very painful if we insist on researching something.

Moreover, our final grades last school year were not bad and fell into the category of eugenics. "

Draco: "But what students value is not just grades, but also various things that are related to grades but have nothing to do with them, such as academic papers, researched products, reports, etc."

The group of them walked and talked, arriving on the lawn outside the castle.

Harry listened to the discussion among his friends, but his mind was reminded of what Grace said to the snake last night.

His eyes lit up and he said quickly: "Listen, all the little wizards have made the wrong suspicion. They should not doubt me, but should doubt Grace!

After I said the words in snake language to make the snake stop attacking, he said in snake language to make the snake continue to attack and attack everyone present.

So Grace must be the heir of Slytherin, and he wants to eliminate all wizards with unqualified bloodlines! "

Ron frowned, his expression a bit suspicious, "Are you sure? Did you hear wrongly?"

Even Hermione and Draco looked at Harry in disbelief.

Hermione said: "Harry, you know that just last night, Grace came to Justin and told him that he told the snake to stop attacking, but you kept letting the snake attack.

You are just now saying that what Gres said is ironic. The little wizard has already preconceived the idea and will not believe you. "

Harry frowned: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"

Lin Xia said: "Harry, calm down, your expression looked wrong and your state was unstable.

Moreover, Grace broke the curfew time to find Justin. He had already been caught by Snape for wandering at night and was punished.

Snape was on duty last night, and we don't want you to go out. If Snape catches you, he will definitely punish you severely.

And, Harry, we also had Justin explain it today. "

Harry said somewhat depressedly: "But when I saw their expressions, they didn't believe me at all."

Ron immediately betrayed his teammates: "It's okay. Lin Xia is here to testify for you. They don't believe you, but they believe Lin Xia!"

"Hey, little wizards, why are you gathering here? Go back to the castle quickly, it's very cold outside."

Hagrid appeared before them.

His face was covered tightly by a balaclava wool hat covered with snowflakes.

Hagrid was wearing a moleskin coat and was burly. He walked from a distance like a giant walking out of the snow.

Harry and the others recognized Hagrid at a glance.

Lin Xia said, "We were going to go in, but we saw you coming, so we waited for you outside for a while."

She noticed what Brother Hai was holding in his hand and asked curiously, "Hagrid, what are you holding in your hand and what are you doing here?"

Hagrid raised something wrapped in a black cloth bag, bent down deliberately, and opened it to show them.

"I don't know why, the chickens raised on the farm were bitten to death recently. This is the second one, and they were all bitten to death.

I suspect that a weasel has sneaked into the farm, and I plan to learn a few spells that can drive away the weasel."

Hagrid waved at them, "No more, buddy, I have to go to the library quickly."

Not long after Hagrid left, another class bell rang.

Lin Xia checked the get out of class schedule and it was Snape's class.

This was just a warning bell. They had to hurry back to Hogwarts.

Lin Xia and Draco had classes, but the other three did not. They also had to return to the castle and go to the laboratory.

But as soon as they entered the castle, they found that many young wizards were gathered in one place.

Lin Xia walked over, without pushing away the crowd. With the help of the super-sensory spell to enlarge her vision, she soon saw the person lying on the ground in the gap between people.

Her eyes could not help but condense.

Ron jumped around in the crowd. There were too many people gathered, and he could not see anything.

It was only after Hermione reminded him to use the super-sensory spell that everyone hurried to use it.

When he saw the person lying on the ground, Ron couldn't help but curse.

"Shit! Who is that, Justin?"

Harry was a little absent-minded at first, but after hearing this, he immediately used the super-sensory spell to observe.

His pupils shrank slightly, and he was frightened and took a few steps back.

Justin lay on the floor, looking cold and stiff, with a look of horror frozen on his face, his eyes staring at the ceiling dully.

That was not the end.

There was another figure next to him, that was Nick who was almost headless.

It was no longer milky white and transparent, but became black, shrouded in smoke, lying motionless, suspended six inches above the ground.

Nick's head fell halfway to the ground, with the same horrified expression on his face as Justin.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd roared.

"It must be Harry, it must be Harry who did it, I heard Harry order the snake to attack him yesterday!"

Many little wizards suddenly looked at Harry.

Those expressions were all eyes Harry had never seen before.

Cold, horrified, angry... with a certain scrutiny.

Harry opened his mouth and wanted to explain something.

But at this moment his mind was blank, and he couldn't say a word.

His heart was beating wildly, like a small drum beating in his chest, rapid and nervous.

Run, run quickly!

——This voice seemed to come from his mind.

Harry wanted to leave, but his feet were firmly rooted on the ground. Reason told him that he had to face this scene calmly.

At this time, Lin Xia's clear and calm voice sounded.

"Gris, what nonsense are you talking about? It was you who ordered the snake to attack everyone. I was too flustered at the time, so I didn't point it out.

You are in Slytherin and you can speak Parseltongue. You are the heir of Slytherin.

Harry has been with us just now. He can't deal with Justin. We have apologized to Justin before."

The little wizard looked at Justin again.

Gris had a gloomy face and wanted to bite Harry to death and drag Harry into the water.

But he forgot that Lin Xia was there!

But he still had another trump card.

Grace said in a hoarse voice, as if he had exhausted all his strength: "Harry is your friend, you will definitely protect your friend.

There is another person who can speak snake language at the scene, that is Mikel. Let Mikel stand up, and you will know what Harry said!"

The little wizard at the scene heard this and looked at Mikel again.

Lin Xia also looked over.

Her dark pupils seemed to have a deep vortex, and she said word by word contemptuously: "Mikel, did you hear what Harry said?

Please think carefully about your answer and don't do anything that will make you regret it.

Once some things are said, there is no room for redemption."

A prompt suddenly appeared on the system panel in front of Mikel.

[You are under unknown pressure, and this pressure makes you anxious]

[Your all attribute values ​​are being continuously weakened]

[Your answer will determine your attribute status in the next three years]

[You need to answer carefully]

Mikel's heart skipped a beat and looked at the task given by the system.

[Task: Frame Harry, correct the deviation of the original work, and make everyone suspect that he is the real murderer.

Reward: Randomly draw one of Harry's abilities, gain 30% of the power of the ability, and can continue to upgrade]

Mikel's forehead was sweating quietly.

When Gress came to him last night and asked him to cheat, he readily agreed.

That was because after Mikel came, the system popped up this task, and he wanted Harry's ability, so he accepted it.

But the system didn't tell him that after accepting this task, he would face a weakening of all attributes!

This is a weakening for the next three years!

As the subsequent plot unfolds, Harry Potter's world will become more and more complicated and more and more dangerous.

With all attributes weakened, his self-protection ability will drop by several levels.

Mikel's expression changed, and everyone could see his entanglement.

A bad premonition flashed through Grace's heart, and he hurriedly urged: "Mikel, tell me everything you heard.

Didn't you tell me last night that Harry was clearly ordering the snake to attack Justin!"

Mikel took a deep breath and said loudly: "No, Harry didn't do that. I clearly heard that he told the snake not to attack Justin!

And Justin became like this, it was you and I who first discovered it together, and Harry was not there at the time!"

Harry's hanging heart finally fell.

Ron, Hermione and Draco all breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really strange.

Mikel is a wizard from Gryffindor, and he has no reason to help Grace.

But for some reason, they all thought that Mikkel would say that Harry had ordered the snake to attack.

Just as the atmosphere was dead silent, a door was slammed open, and the pranksters rushed out together.

The two Peeves first circled Justin and Nick, who had been petrified, and then flew into the air.

Peeves took a deep breath and shouted: "Hit! Hit! Hit again! No one can escape, whether human or ghost! Run for your life! Hit!"

The little wizard was frightened by the screams of the Peeves and began to run away in a panic.

They pushed open the doors one by one, and people swarmed out.

In these difficult minutes, the scene was extremely chaotic.

Justin was in danger of being crushed, and some people almost stood in the headless Nick's body.

Harry and others were also squeezed against the wall by this group of panicked little wizards.

At this time, a professor shouted loudly to maintain order.

It was Professor McGonagall's voice!

She came running, followed by her classmates.

In addition, Snape also came.

The class bell had rung, and Snape had been waiting for a long time for the students to come, so he ran over to see it himself.

Professor McGonagall made a loud noise with her wand, and everyone suddenly quieted down.

She sternly ordered everyone to return to their respective common rooms and go to class as soon as possible.

The crowd had just dispersed.

Ernie from Hufflepuff rushed to the scene panting.

Ernie's face was pale, and he pointed at Harry dramatically and shouted:

"It must be you, you took revenge on Justin, right? Just because after you left, we discussed your hostility towards Muggles!"

Peeves floated overhead, grinning and showing a wicked smile.

They always fear chaos, and immediately hummed a song fearlessly:

"Oh, Potter, you annoying guy, look at the good things you did,

You killed a student and thought it was funny--"

Lin Xia said sternly: "Shut up, Peeves, Harry was not at the scene of the crime.

On the contrary, it was Mikkel and Gross who discovered Justin's abnormality. This is likely to be done by them!"

Peeves was scolded by Lin Xia and took a few steps back. It seemed that he was a little afraid of her and ran away quickly.

Professor McGonagall rubbed her worried eyebrows and said: "Potter, you come with me, and Mikkel and Grice."

She paused, "And Lin Xia, Hermione, Draco and Ron, all come with me to the principal's office."

Harry hurriedly explained: "Professor, I swear I didn't--"

"I can't control this, Potter." Professor McGonagall replied briefly.

While walking, Lin Xia gently touched the ring in Draco's hand with her wand.

Draco looked stern and silently activated the protection.

Lin Xia was also constantly adjusting her state. First, she quietly operated the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Records: Furnace" to concentrate her thoughts.

Then, she kept thinking about her recent research topic.

It was about the alternative development and application of the protection spell, a very interesting little gadget.
