Chapter 38: Deflated Malfoy

Ron resolutely got together with Draco Malfoy's two burly henchmen.

Then... there is no more.

He was far from a match for the huge Crabbe and Goyle. He was quickly controlled by the two of them, grabbing his arms and pinching his thighs, unable to move at all.

Malfoy stood beside him triumphantly, smiling like a villain:

"This is your henchman, Potter? So vulnerable!"

"Ron is my friend, he is not a follower! The two next to you are called followers!" Harry's anger surged, and he rushed towards Crabbe and Goyle, trying to get Ron out of their hands. After being rescued, Hermione couldn't even stop him.

…Then Harry was also controlled by his neck and his feet, and was placed together with Ron.

"Is this the so-called savior? Nothing more than that!" Malfoy was very proud. He looked at the students on the Gryffindor table with pride, feeling that he was leading Slytherin to suppress the Gryffindor House. On my head, I was extremely happy.

Malfoy's provocative behavior finally aroused everyone's anger. The Gryffindor students who were eating stood up from the table and approached him step by step.

Seeing a large group of people walking over angrily, Malfoy felt a little guilty. But thinking that his backer was nearby, he raised his head again and looked at the Gryffindor little lions in front of him.

Just when the Gryffindor students came forward and wanted to arrest Malfoy like Ron and Harry now, a gloomy voice rang out——

"We haven't seen each other for a few minutes, and the Gryffindor students seem to be a lot more courageous." Snape said with a sneer, "Now you actually dare to bully the junior classmates in public?"

"Someone provoked us first, Professor Snape." Hermione poked her head covered in disheveled brown hair from behind the crowd and argued rationally, "Malfoy just insulted Ron and Harry's family. "

"No matter what, hitting someone is against Hogwarts rules, Miss Granger. And I saw that Mr. Weasley struck first." Snape said in a smooth tone, "Gryffin Ten points will be deducted for the extra points. Weasley and Potter, you should feel lucky that we didn’t deduct more points. Okay, let’s all go away!”

Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle threw Ron and Harry back to the Gryffindor team, smiling rudely, as if they were mocking the powerlessness of Gryffindor House and the weakness of the so-called savior.

"I'm going to teach him a lesson," Ron said through gritted teeth, looking at Malfoy's back. "One day, I'm going to teach them a lesson -"

"I really hate those two," Harry agreed. "Disgusting Malfoy and Snape."

At this moment, Malfoy, who was still gloating about his misfortune, seemed to be suddenly slapped hard. He spun around several times and then fell heavily to the ground.

Malfoy lost face, and with the burning pain on his face, he cried bitterly.

"Who?! Who is plotting against me? Don't let me catch you, my father will make you pay the price!" He shouted while crying, tears still flowing.

Snape, on the other hand, showed a somewhat suspicious expression and cast his gaze on Dracula not far away.

Dracula crossed his arms and also moved his gaze to look at Snape.

"What a coincidence, Professor Snape." He was the first to say hello.

"Professor Dracula, as far as I know, no one else around here has such superb silent spellcasting ability." Snape stared at Dracula closely and said coldly, "Don't tell me about Draco's attack. It’s about you.”

"There is no need to doubt it. It was indeed me who did it." Dracula said to Snape with an indifferent expression. "Malfoy's behavior of provoking his classmates deserves to be punished."

"Oh, by the way, ten points from Slytherin." He glanced at Malfoy sitting on the ground and added, "Professor Snape, it shouldn't be a problem if I follow your management methods, right?"

Snape's face turned very ugly.

"Professor Dracula, your method of physically punishing students seems inappropriate, doesn't it?" He said stiffly.

"Oh? Then is it appropriate for Professor Snape to deduct points from Gryffindor alone and ignore Slytherin's mistakes?" Dracula asked with a chuckle.

Snape stared at Dracula, his lips trembling.

Then he turned around suddenly and left the auditorium without looking back. His long robes were flung up behind him, and he slapped Malfoy who was sitting on the ground in the face...

Malfoy stared blankly at his dean who left without saying goodbye, feeling that he had been abandoned.

"Well done, Professor! I knew the favor was worthless!"

The Weasley twins rushed over with joyful faces, and George praised loudly.

Fred also winked beside him, "As expected, it has to be Professor Dracula, so Snape's old bat should have a long memory!"

Dracula turned to look at the Weasley twins and said with a smile: "You actually use the favor I just gave you on such a trivial matter. I have never seen wizards as extravagant as you."

"It's okay, Professor." Fred said carelessly, "No matter what it is, you will use it when you get it. There is no point in keeping it!"

"Then I hope you won't regret it in the future." Dracula chuckled, waved to Weasley and Harry, and then walked towards the door of the auditorium.

At this moment, Malfoy, who was still sitting on the ground, couldn't sit still. He felt that he should say a harsh word at the end, otherwise he would lose face.

So before Dracula left, he suddenly said loudly:

"You...don't be too proud! My father is the school director of Hogwarts, and I will definitely let him expel you!"

Dracula paused for a moment, then turned back to look at him.

"How are you, are you scared?" Seeing Dracula's actions, Malfoy suddenly became energetic, raised his head and said, "As long as you apologize to me now, I can prevent my father from expelling you!"

After all, it was the Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons in the past few months that left a deep impression on Malfoy. Even if he had no face anymore, he only dared to ask Dracula to apologize to him, and did not dare to make more extreme demands.

However, Dracula had no intention of apologizing at all, and instead showed interest in his eyes.

"Interesting, does Hogwarts actually have a school board now?"

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, he bent down and approached Malfoy who was sitting on the ground, and said softly: "Can you do me a favor, Mr. Malfoy?"

"Tell your father to ask him and the other governors to come to Hogwarts."

"Just say that the landlord of Hogwarts wants to meet them."
