Chapter 24

The two of them were in a different situation.

Originally, Neville and Seamus were supposed to be in one group, and Harry and Ron were in one group.

But Neville was now assigned to Hufflepuff, and Ron saw that Snape was targeting Harry.

Fearfully, he chose to team up with Seamus.

Harry teamed up with another of their roommates.

But Seamus's title of explosive genius was not unfounded!

He and Ron, who had never read a page of a Potions textbook, relied on their intuition to mess around.

Directly detonated the cauldron!

Not only did he get scabies all over his body and screamed in pain.

He also caused a lot of trouble for the people around him!

Even Snape, who was going to cause trouble for Harry, was accidentally injured by them!

A large number of scars appeared on the neck hidden under the black robe!

"Mr. Weasley and Mr. Finnigan, Gryffindor will deduct ten points for your outstanding actions!"

"Send these two idiots to the school infirmary!"

Snape's tone was unprecedentedly cold.

Then, he looked at Harry, who was closest to the two.

"Mr. Potter, you are so close, why don't you stop their wrong behavior!"

Harry: ???

What does it have to do with me?

Who did I offend?

"Do you think that the stupid behavior of your classmates can better highlight your excellence as a savior?"

"Gryffindor will deduct another five points because of your little thoughts!"

Harry was completely confused.

He wanted to refute, but looking at Ron and Seamus who were wailing in pain, he gritted his teeth and chose to send them to the school infirmary first.

The first potions class ended dramatically under the destruction of Ron and Seamus.

Gryffindor deducted several dozen points because of the protagonist group on the first day.

Looking at Harry's frustrated face, Argus sighed.

Blame your father for making you a boy.

If you were a girl, Snape would have defeated Voldemort alone.

Argus could imagine what would happen if Harry became Harry with his head down.

Snape: Miss Potter, what would happen if I added narcissus bulb powder to wormwood stem liquid?

Harry: I don't know.

Snape: Oh, five points for your honesty!

...

Came all the way to the hall.

Hogwarts's course schedule is similar to Argus's previous university.

Mainly large classes, usually one and a half to two hours.

It was already noon when the two classes ended.

Because he came from the bottom of Hogwarts Castle, when Argus arrived at the hall, many people were already sitting at the long tables of the four colleges.

Seeing him coming, Hermione waved her arms happily.

"Argus!"

"Smart Miss Granger, I heard from my friends that you added a lot of points to Ravenclaw in the Charms class today."

Because he had already shown the results of last night's battle to everyone in Hogwarts in the morning, Argus didn't need to sit in the chief seat all the time as a reminder.

He went straight to the long table of Ravenclaw and sat next to Hermione.

Many Ravenclaw girls saw Argus coming and subconsciously tidied their clothes.

Moved their seats towards Argus without leaving a trace.

A glimmer of pride flashed in Hermione's eyes, and then she thought of something and showed an annoyed expression.

"But in our first potion class, Professor Snape not only didn't give me extra points."

"He also scolded me!"

"He said I... said I..."

"Miss Granger, do you think you are much smarter than others? Use your raised hand to show your uniqueness?"

Argus imitated Snape's usual intonation, which attracted a round of punches from Hermione.

The two chatted while eating.

At this time, a bird chirped from the ceiling.

A large group of owls flew over with various letters and gifts.

"Chirp, chirp!"

Two rolls of newspapers were thrown in front of Argus, attracting Hermione's attention.

"Argus, are you still reading these?"

"I thought you..."

"Thinking that I only recite textbooks every day?"

Argus's revelation made Hermione blush slightly.

Ever since she knew that Argus could memorize the knowledge in the third-grade textbooks, Hermione felt a sense of crisis in her heart.

Except for eating and attending classes, he even reads textbooks before going to bed.

Argus swallowed the last bite of food, and a piece of news in the newspaper caught his attention.

"Gringotts was attacked! It is suspected to be the work of dark wizards!"

"Gringotts goblins have repeatedly emphasized that there is no theft!"

Voldemort finally started to take action!

Argus' eyes were shining.

He has waited too long for this moment.

Compared with Dumbledore's obstruction and the fear of the British Ministry of Magic, he wants Voldemort to be resurrected as soon as possible.

Use his terror to attract firepower for the development of the Saints and buy time!

After all, compared with the living Dark Lord who is still in his prime, a combination of a young wizard who has not yet reached adulthood and a group of old, weak and sick people is simply not worth mentioning.

Only if he is alive, Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic of various countries will not focus on him.

However, Argus does not intend to make his resurrection as smooth as the original.

Resurrection is possible, but it must be under his control!

In addition, Gringotts's move is also an extremely important part of his plan.

One of Voldemort's Horcruxes, Hufflepuff's Gold Cup, is hidden in the treasure house of Gringotts Lestrange.

Neither Voldemort nor Dumbledore will ever give up.

As long as they know this news, they will definitely choose to take action against Gringotts.

Perhaps one attack would not shake the wizards' confidence in Gringotts, but what about the second time?

What about the third and fourth time?

The attacks happened again and again, and Gringotts had no room for resistance.

Which wizard would still feel safe to deposit money there?

Even if Gringotts repeatedly claimed that there was no theft, who would believe it?

Argus has been coveting the gold mountain of the wizarding world bank for many years.

Now is the best opportunity!

It's not that Argus has not thought about getting the Hufflepuff gold cup in advance, but Gringotts has stood in the wizarding world for many years, and it is not something he can easily break through.

Moreover, the Lestrange treasury was cast with a spell, making it difficult to break in. To find a cup in a pile of gold, only Harry or Voldemort himself, who is also a Horcrux, can do it.

Instead of spending a lot of time and energy, it is better to choose other Horcruxes.

At the same time, Harry also saw the news in Ron's newspaper.

But he focused more on the attacked vault.

Without their think tank, the duo made random guesses like headless flies, but they could never find any ideas.

…

It was already afternoon in a blink of an eye.

Draco was like a wild dog that had let loose, and without even waiting for Argus, he ran outside with Goyle and Crabbe.

"Did he drink too much fake wine?"

"The first class in the afternoon is flying class, and Draco has been looking forward to it for a long time."

Pansy shook her head helplessly.

Like Argus, she was one of the few people who were not interested in Quidditch.

Of course, the enjoyment of flying was much less.
