Chapter 54 Humble Kyle
After the Halloween dinner, the well-fed little wizards went back to the dormitory together.
After the students left, the professors also left one after another.
In the principal's room, Dumbledore looked at Snape with a gloomy face and asked, "Severus, what do you want from me?"
"It was two weeks ago, Dumbledore." Snape slapped a gold-edged map on the desk in the principal's office, and said with a blank expression, "The thing about Kyle Chopper selling maps at school... now There should be results."
"So that's what happened." Dumbledore took a sip of black tea calmly and said, "May I hear your thoughts?"
"People like this who ignore school rules must be expelled!" Snape blurted out.
"This is not a good joke, Severus." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "You should know that in Hogwarts' school rules, there is no such thing as not allowing students to sell items on campus."
"And as far as I know, this kind of map should be sold to Slater by Miss Prince..."
"That was instigated!" Snape yelled and interrupted Dumbledore, "I've found out, all the maps were given to her by Kyle!"
The sound was so loud that even the surrounding portraits who were pretending to be asleep couldn't stand it anymore.
A wizard with a big nose said angrily: "Boy, pay attention to your attitude, this is the principal's office."
Snape ignored him and continued, "I should have insisted that Connor go to Slytherin instead of following your advice and keeping her in Hufflepuff."
"I think this is a good thing." Dumbledore said with a smile: "Don't you think that Connor's character was a bit too introverted before? As the only descendant of the Prince family in the British magic world, this is not a good thing .
And you can't protect her all the time. "
Snape was silent for a moment, and said impatiently: "We're talking about Kyle Chopper today. He dared to sell a map to Five Galleons today, and he dared to rob Gringotts tomorrow. So, Even if you don’t get fired, you can’t let it go, you must be punished.”
"Well, you're right. Five Galleons is indeed a bit expensive for freshmen." Dumbledore thought, "Well, I'll ask the students for their opinions, if they feel that they have been cheated Well, I'll take care of it of course."
……
Snape fell silent again.
In fact, he had already asked once when he confiscated the map, that's what that Rolle said at the time...
"Cheated? Professor, are you kidding? It's only five Galleons. What a big deal~~"
Even if Dumbledore asked, the result would probably be the same.
Although Snape could easily make the Slytherin students change their views on this matter and criticize Kyle if they wanted to.
But this kind of thing is too low, he is just partial, and it's not that he really doesn't want any face.
And this kind of thing is also very difficult to hide, once it is exposed, it will be a lot of trouble.
"Kyle's character is also problematic." Snape said suddenly: "I have observed that he is very talented, but his performance in class is very mediocre.
Being so hypocritical at such a young age, aren't you afraid that he will become the next Dark Lord? "
"I prefer to call this kind of behavior modesty, Severus." Dumbledore said calmly: "It is not easy for a person to radiate light, but it is even more difficult to hide the light. This is a very rare kind of behavior." quality."
"So..." Snape looked at Dumbledore coldly and said, "You're not going to punish him?"
"If he didn't make a mistake."
"very good!"
Snape's face became more gloomy, he waved his robe, turned and left the principal's office.
Whether it was intentional or not, when Snape turned around, the hem of his robe hit the portrait of the wizard with the big nose.
The other party was furious, and shouted angrily at Snape's back: "Come back and apologize, you rude Slytherin kid!"
Snape still ignored him, but Phineas Black next to him couldn't help it, rushed over and grabbed his collar and said, "What did you say about Slytherin just now!"
"What, do you want to fight?"
The big-nosed wizard, who was getting angry, punched Phineas in the face without saying a word.
How could the "great" Headmaster Black swallow this breath, and the two quickly wrestled together.
Seeing this, the other portraits came over with candy melon seeds and butter beer, and formed a circle to dissuade them:
"Don't fight anymore, you don't fight anymore."
"I'm too old, so I can't keep my focus... Hey, what are you doing hitting his legs, grabbing his hair, can't you see that long hair?"
"That knight watching the excitement over there, quickly put away your sword, don't let them see you!"
"No, Felix has gone to get that sword."
"Someone call the hunter in the corridor. I remember he still has an ax."
Their voices soon attracted more portraits, every picture frame was crowded, the principal's office had never been so lively.
Dumbledore sat behind the table, cheerfully adding sugar to his black tea.
Portrait fights were not uncommon, and besides eavesdropping on gossip, it was their only entertainment.
Dumbledore didn't bother to care about it, anyway, as long as the frame and canvas were fine.
But at this moment, Professor McGonagall's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Mr. Minister, are you still looking for Albus so late?"
The ears of those portraits moved, and they left the principal's office as quickly as possible, regardless of the excitement.
Before the fat lady of Gryffindor left, she and two knights forcibly took away the big-nosed wizard and Felix, who were bruised and swollen.
The way they are now cannot be seen by the Minister of Magic, otherwise Hogwarts will be humiliated.
"It happened suddenly, Minerva, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Accompanied by a deep voice, the door of the principal's room was pushed open from the outside again.
"Albus, long time no see, how are you?"
Cornelius Fudge walked up to Dumbledore, arms outstretched, eagerly.
"Long time no see, Connelly." Dumbledore hugged him and said with a smile, "Would you like a cup of black tea? Or pumpkin juice."
"Black tea is good."
Dumbledore snapped his fingers, and immediately there was a cup of steaming black tea on the table next to him.
"Do you need sugar?"
Fudge shook his head, he looked a little nervous, he kept rubbing his bowler hat with his hands, and glanced at Professor McGonagall next to him from time to time.
"Albus, then I'll go back first."
Professor McGonagall instantly understood what Fudge meant, and turned to leave the principal's office.
"Albus, I can't hide it anymore, those smuggled magical animals..."
As the Griffin slowly closed the door, Fudge's voice completely disappeared.
Although only half a sentence was heard, Professor McGonagall could probably guess the reason why Fudge came so late.
The newly appointed Minister of Magic always likes to conceal news that is not good for him, and when he can't hide it anymore, he will come to Dumbledore for advice.
I think it's the same this time.
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips. Cornelius Fudge's irresponsible look was far worse than that of Millicent Bagnor.
After the Halloween dinner, the well-fed little wizards went back to the dormitory together.
