Chapter 34 In the Principal’s Room
Facing Professor McGonagall’s inquiry
Of course Zhang Xiao should know how to answer.
That is, don’t bring any subjective guesses or emotions. Simply talk about what happened objectively, and the initiative will naturally return to your side.
He turned the wand in his hand and put it back into the wand bag on his waist. He looked at Professor McGonagall and said calmly:
"Professor, I don't know anything. As soon as I returned to the lounge, Miss Greengrass insulted me and attacked me. You saw what happened next."
After saying that, he pointed at the little wizard lying on the floor and the unsightly lamp that was corroded by black magic.
Professor McGonagall was really so angry that she fainted. She was trembling all over, and even her clear cheeks were twitching because of her anger:
"Dark Magic: Someone actually dares to use dark magic against classmates at Hogwarts!"
Snape's face was as dark as the bottom of a cauldron. He finally stopped speaking in a protracted, aria-like tone, and shouted sharply:
"Marcus, take all these idiots to my office and find someone to inform Madam Pomfrey. If possible, I really hope she can prescribe some medicine for these idiots to make their minds brighter."
Marcus said hesitantly:
"Professor, do you mean to prescribe them some Bafei brain-rejuvenating potion? Can I also have a bottle? This thing is difficult to make and the price is expensive."
Snape was silent for a rare moment. He stared at the academy's Quidditch captain with pity and gave a rare and useful suggestion:
"Flint, I suggest that you do work related to the protection of magical animals in the future. Otherwise, when dealing with humans, it will be difficult for people to believe that you are also humans and not apes."
Marcus Flint said happily:
"Professor, my uncle also suggested this! What a coincidence!"
Snape was completely speechless. Professor McGonagall looked at Marcus with worried eyes and whispered to Snape:
"Severus, I only knew this child was not smart and was forced to repeat a grade, but I didn't expect that."
Zhang Xiao also looked at Marcus with sympathetic eyes, who was still happily greeting his classmates to carry the little wizards away. This is a pure-blood wizard, and this is the product of close relatives. I am afraid these wizards still don’t know the Muggles’ understanding of genes and reproduction. Research has long reached a level beyond their comprehension.
Driven by the professor, the common room quickly emptied out. Professor McGonagall's anger was still lingering, and she muttered in a low voice:
"There are so many senior students, but no one stands up to stop it."
Of course she knew the reason why the senior students didn't take action, but she still couldn't accept it. At this moment, she felt that the passionate little lions in her college were the cutest students in the school.
Soon, all the little witches were carried away, except for Daphne Greengrass. Professor McGonagall easily dispelled the magic on her body. The little witch had now woken up from that hysterical state.
Her face was as white as paper. It was obvious that Daphne had realized how outrageous her behavior was. Her whole body was shaking. She looked at Snape and Professor McGonagall with pleading eyes and begged softly:
"Professor, I was just confused for a moment. I can't remember what I did. I was just furious."
Snape snorted from his aquiline nose and said slowly in a cold tone:
“You disappoint me, Daphne.
Before school started, your father, Old Greengrass, came to see me and hoped that I would provide you with a strict education and become an excellent wizard who can shoulder the responsibilities of the family, and even become a role model for your sister. He has high hopes for you!
But you get carried away so easily, and I don't see how you look like a Slytherin at all!
Now this matter is no longer up to me, so stop pretending to be pitiful! No one cares about this! "
Professor McGonagall pushed up her glasses and said seriously:
"Both of you, come with me!"
Zhang Xiao followed Professor McGonagall to her office. Daphne was immediately taken away, presumably to deal with her. Zhang Xiao was left waiting in this dull office bored.
After a while, a cat whose entire body was made of silver light jumped in from the door. It looked at Zhang Xiao and said in the voice of Professor McGonagall:
"Zhang, follow the patron saint and go to the principal's office. Principal Dumbledore wants to see you. The password is Super Bubble Gum."
Professor Dumbledore wants to see me? Zhang Xiao's heart suddenly tightened, and then relaxed again. I didn't do anything wrong. What should I be afraid of?
Even so, he couldn't help but feel uneasy as he followed the patron saint to the principal's office. With the shadow of a famous tree, it was difficult for you to truly feel the oppression brought by Dumbledore if you were not in this world.
That is the person who stands at the top of the entire wizarding world, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, president of the International Federation of Wizards, Order of Merlin First Class, chief wizard of the Wizengamot, holder of the Elder Wand, president and president of the Order of the Phoenix Secret Keeper.
It is a terrifying existence that has suppressed the hot socket face for decades.
What will Dumbledore do when he sees me? Even if the nature of this matter is very bad, it won't be something that Dumbledore has to deal with personally, right?
Zhang Xiao followed the patron saint through the corridor and came to the famous gargoyle.
"Super Bubble Gum!"
The gargoyle slowly opened its wings, like a living creature. Its stone eyes looked at Zhang Xiao, then spun upward, revealing the stairs behind it.
Zhang Xiao took a deep breath and stepped onto the stairs.
It is said that Dumbledore's headmaster's office is the most interesting among all previous headmasters.
Zhang Xiao looked at this spacious circular room. Among other things, the office area alone was larger than that of other professors.
On the table with slender legs, there were many strange silverwares placed, spinning and spitting out small puffs of smoke.
The walls were covered with portraits of old principals, both men and women. They were still arguing with each other before Zhang Xiao came in.
When Zhang Xiao stepped through the door, they had stopped talking and looked at him with bright eyes. An old wizard with a goatee and a shrewd and mean face shouted:
"Aha, here comes a great Slytherin! Well done young man! When I was as young as you, I could easily kill 20 of them!
By the way, I heard that you are an Eastern noble with a history several times older than the Black family? is this real? Is there any existence in the world that is older than the noble and oldest Black family? "
"For Merlin's sake, shut up Phineas!" A wizard with a long beard and a serious face shouted vigorously. Other portraits also agreed. Zhang Xiao saw it interestingly and stood there. Then look at the portrait and quarrel.
This is a peep show that I have never seen before! Commonly known as making a fool of yourself!
Finally, a kind-faced but majestic female principal stood up, and Zhang Xiao recognized her.
Delise Devante, a former headmistress and a well-known healer, is so famous that no matter the History of Magic, Charms, or many other courses, she cannot be avoided. :
"Everyone shut up and listen to Principal Dumbledore, he is already here!"
