Chapter 40 040. This is simply too ridiculous

After Scott raised the question, Roger followed suit and said, "I'm confused too. I don't remember any interaction between us and that Miss Travers."

Jacob raised his head and glanced at the two of them, then lowered his head again and remained silent.

Lisa Dupin, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Professor Flitwick secretly, as if she was about to speak but hesitated.

"It seems you may know the answer, Miss Dupin." Scott's eyes turned to Dupin.

Professor Flitwick also said: "If you know something, you'd better tell us, Miss Dupin."

His expression was very serious at the moment.

"And Mr. Kent. Only by knowing all the truth can I determine your punishment."

Lisa Dupin flinched and said anxiously: "She...Miss Travers said you shouldn't meddle in Jacob's business, and looked at her with that condescending look."

"So that's what happened." Scott nodded clearly.

Facing Professor Flitwick's questioning gaze, he stood up and bowed slightly, "Please wait a moment, Professor, I want to ask Jacob some questions."

Professor Flitwick nodded and made a "please" gesture.

Scott smiled gratefully at Professor Flitwick and sat down again.

"Jacob, I hope you can answer me truthfully." He said to Jacob, "What is the truth about what happened on the night of the school dinner? And why did you hang out with Travers and Roll again later? Together."

"This...this thing starts from my trip to Diagon Alley before the start of school..."

Jacob still lowered his head, but honestly began to talk about his experience.

Because of sobbing from time to time, his voice was a little choppy, but he expressed it clearly enough.

He met Jasmine Travers in Diagon Alley during the summer vacation.

At that time, Jacob bought a box of ice cream at Florin's Soda Shop and spilled the ice cream on Travers in the crowd.

"I apologized to her immediately, and she smiled and said it didn't matter." Jacob said, "Oh, Professor McGonagall, who led us to Diagon Alley, was also there, and she used magic to help Travers clean up his clothes. "

For Jacob at the time, this incident was just a small episode, and he didn't take it to heart after that.

Unexpectedly, he met Travers again on the express train heading to Hogwarts before school started.

But this time, Travers completely lost the cordiality and friendliness that greeted him during the summer vacation.

"I still wanted to be friends with her, but she looked at me like I was a bed bug," Jacob said.

Scott listened to his story in silence.

He believed that Jacob had told the truth up to this point.

This is probably the first time that a boy who is full of yearning for the magical world has felt the malice of pure-blood wizards in the magical world towards Muggle wizards.

After all, reality is not a fairy tale.

"At this time, Caitlin Rolle also entered the car, and Travers immediately started crying." Jacob continued, "She told Rolle that I was bullying her, and Rolle didn't listen to me at all. Explain and drive me out of that carriage."

Hearing this, Scott said to him: "So what happened on the night of the first-term dinner was that after being cheated by Travers, Rolle vented his anger for her and fell down the spiral staircase of the tower to frame you?"

"That's it!" Jacob raised his head and looked at him with burning eyes, "But no matter how I explained, no one believed me! They even kicked me out of the dormitory!"

Professor Flitwick sighed with regret: "Oh, several prefects have reported this to me, and Miss Crevat said it might have been an accident."

"What happened next?" Scott asked, "Why did you hang out with them again?"

Roger also said: "We saw you walking with them more than once. Scott called your name several times, but you did not take the opportunity to come to us."

"I don't dare!" Jacob's voice had a clear cry, "Travers said...she said that if I don't listen to her, she can easily find my family in the Muggle world!"

"This is ridiculous!"

Professor Flitwick couldn't help but slap the table. It was obviously the first time he heard such a statement. He said angrily, "She is threatening you! You shouldn't believe her, you should tell the professor about it!" "

"No!"

Jacob shook his head quickly.

"Travers said that if I told the professor, her house elves would be able to get to my house as fast as they could!"

He said horrified: "She even has a photo of me in the bedroom!"

Roger asked in surprise: "How did she know your home address?"

"The day we went to Diagon Alley, her house elf followed us and found my home!" Jacob's body curled up in fear, "She said this herself!"

Professor Flitwick began to scream angrily: "This is ridiculous! This is so ridiculous! There has never, ever been such a lawless student! I want Professor Snape to expel that girl himself!"

He comforted Jacob again, "Don't worry, don't worry, Mr. Kent! Now that I know about this, I will definitely ensure the safety of your family!"

"Lulu!" He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

There was a popping sound, and a house elf appeared in the office. It was wrapped in a clean tea towel, with green eyes as big as tennis balls, and bowed to Professor Flitwick.

"Dear wizard, Lulu is at your service!"

It spoke in a very excited voice, as if it felt that being called by a wizard was a great honor.

"I need you to protect a family, Lulu." Professor Flitwick said to it, "If other house elves appear near that family, you drive them away."

Lulu immediately screamed and agreed: "Protect a family? No problem, Lulu will do it! Lulu will drive away all the bad elves!"

"Now, write your home address on this paper, Mr. Kent." Professor Flitwick pointed to the parchment on the table and said to Jacob.

Jacob immediately stood up and picked up the feather pen on the table and began to write. He cried and said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you so much, professor!"

Professor Flitwick handed the written note to Lulu and said to Jacob: "Don't worry, only Lulu and I can see the note."

Jacob said in panic: "No, I'm not worried, you don't have to do this."

"No need to say more, it's decided." Professor Flitwick waved his hand and gestured for Lulu to set off.

Lulu bowed again and quickly disappeared from the sight of several people.

After watching Lulu leave, Jacob immediately breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to be much more relieved.

"Then let's get back to the point." Professor Flitwick asked him, "What did that girl, Miss Travers, do in school? How is she going to take revenge on Trollope and Davis?"
