Chapter 54
The next day.
It was a sunny day with a clear sky.
Everything looked the same as usual.
The only difference was that in the past, when the professor asked questions in class, Argus was always in a casual state.
If I was called upon, I would answer, and if I was not called upon, I would listen carefully.
But today, he seemed to be more active, a little like Hermione.
He raised his hand to answer.
His profound knowledge combined with abundant practice made his answer even more perfect than the standard answer.
Professor McGonagall nodded approvingly, and the eyes of the surrounding little wizards were full of admiration.
There was only one exception!
Ron!
The jealousy in his eyes was almost overflowing!
Even Harry, who was sitting at the same table, could see the distortion of his expression!
As someone who has regarded Argus as his lifelong enemy since the beginning of school, how could he tolerate him being so prominent!
What made him even more uncomfortable was that his family had a very good attitude towards Argus!
Even better than his own relative!
These days, his mother, Mrs. Molly, prepared a sweater for Argus!
A sweater that even his own son didn't have!
"This evil Slytherin must have used some black magic to fascinate others!"
"I've seen in storybooks that many dark wizards use evil magic for their own ulterior motives!"
"Argus is not that kind of person..." Harry replied weakly.
"Why not! You see he's nowhere to be found every day, he must be doing something..."
Ron spoke louder and louder, not realizing that the eyes of the people around him had gathered on him.
"Mr. Weasley! If you don't listen carefully, I don't mind asking you to leave the classroom!"
Professor McGonagall's serious voice sounded.
A burst of laughter broke out in the classroom, and everyone looked at Ron with mocking eyes.
His already bright red hair set off his red cheeks.
"Sorry... I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall!"
One class once again made him the laughing stock of everyone.
The corners of Argus' mouth curled up slightly, and a dark light appeared in his eyes.
There was no need to use any tricks to deal with such a brainless person.
A little temptation was enough to make him take the bait.
After class, Ron and Harry hurriedly fled amid countless ridicules.
Argus was surrounded by a group of little fans, chatting and laughing with others.
He even had time to look at the two with a teasing look.
This made Ron furious!
"Damn dark wizard! Don't give me a chance, otherwise I will definitely teach him a lesson!"
"Okay, Ron, Argus didn't do anything, he just answered a few questions, if you want, you can answer too." Harry was speechless to his friend.
He was just easily influenced, and his previous life was too lonely, so he had never made any friends.
As a result, he was not very good at dealing with interpersonal relationships.
But it didn't mean he was stupid!
To put it bluntly, Argus was not from the same world as them, and there was no reason for him to target them.
Everything was just Ron's jealousy.
But his words hit Ron's minefield.
If Ron had this ability, he would have shown off long ago!
It was precisely because he didn't have it that he was so jealous of Argus!
"Are you still my friend! Why do you keep speaking for that dark wizard!"
"Of course I am, but Argus... he is also..."
"What is he! He is the evil Slytherin, the enemy of our Gryffindor!"
Ron roared at Harry.
There was a sense of guilt and fear in his tone that he himself didn't even notice.
Since he entered school, his biggest reliance has been his friend the savior. If even this barrier is gone, his subsequent life is simply unimaginable.
"I must find out his conspiracy!"
"You will help me, right, Harry?"
Feeling Ron's burning gaze, Harry wanted to refuse, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded.
"But, how can we investigate with just the two of us?"
"I've thought about this a long time ago!"
Ron excitedly pulled Harry to a corner.
His eyes kept scanning around, as if he was carrying out some secret operation.
"The two of us will keep an eye on where he goes every day. If he wants to perform those evil rituals, he will definitely find a place where no one is around to do it secretly."
"As long as we catch him, we can expose his conspiracy!"
Harry was speechless.
I thought you had some good ideas!
All this time is just tracking!
Everyone knows that Argus goes to the same place every day, what can you track?
Unfortunately, Ron is now too excited, and his mind is full of how to expose Argus's true face, and he didn't pay attention to Harry's expression at all.
"Then let's..."
"Start now! I don't believe he can keep pretending!"
...
It was already evening when Argus finished processing the potion in Snape's office.
Looking at Ron pretending to wander around in the corner and Harry's guilty look, Argus couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
You are still tracking with this level?
Do you want to use your brain?
Usually, the two of you are more afraid of Snape than each other, and now you dare to get close to his office door?
Even with your head, you can imagine that something is wrong!
But he didn't expose it. After lunch in the hall, he returned to the Slytherin lounge with Draco and others.
Many people have gathered in the lounge.
Because Halloween is coming soon, even though most of the little snakes in Slytherin are from noble families, they have become extremely excited.
Under the organization of several seniors, they took the initiative to decorate the lounge hall.
The originally slightly cold atmosphere became much warmer.
The people in a good mood chattered about what candies to prepare.
"The opportunity has come!"
Agus waved his wand and took the initiative to help, which brought the surprised eyes of several little girls.
Draco looked surprised: "It's rare that you didn't go back to the dormitory to read today!"
"I'm not a nerd. I just read books every day."
"Halloween is coming soon, and I have to prepare candies, costumes, etc."
"That's right!" Draco didn't doubt it.
In the West, Halloween is as important as Qingming Festival in the East.
It's just that the meaning is different. Qingming in the East is mainly to miss relatives, while Halloween in the West has the meaning of exorcising evil and praising autumn.
"What is Agus going to dress up as on Halloween?"
Pansy seemed very interested in this and asked proactively.
"I can't tell you this. You will know it when the time comes."
"But I see that Professor Snape's office seems to have nothing prepared."
"I guess you will be alone this year, right?"
"It should be! I've been at Hogwarts for three years, and every year the professor leaves after dinner. Alas!" A senior student heard it and took the initiative to take over the conversation.
"I go to the professor's office every day and see that he is always alone. He must be quite lonely."
Agus mentioned it inconspicuously, and stopped there, without making any suggestions.
Seeing several senior students fall into deep thought, they nodded with satisfaction.
He had seen it when he was in school in his previous life.
There are always a few conspicuous people in each class who like to talk to the teacher no matter what.
Chat with the teacher in their spare time, give gifts to the teacher or play with him on holidays.
With them taking the lead, other students have to follow them!
In this way, Draco and others can be forced to follow them to Snape's office.
Once people from other colleges know about it, they will naturally follow suit for the sake of their own college's reputation.
It will take a long time for people from several colleges to get together and end it.
In this way, it is natural to use the professor to protect the people around him.
Even if Voldemort knows about it, he can't blame himself.
After all, it was not me who proposed it, and I didn't even participate!
Why do you have anything to do with me!
