The first lesson of school should have been a happy one, but at this time Hope felt extremely uncomfortable. He felt that he had been greatly wronged, but he was unable to refute.
He felt that two words could describe his current feeling: 'unlucky'.
Fortunately, Potions class was over, and it was next week. He felt much better when he thought that he wouldn't have to look at Snape's single face for a week.
Hope looked at the class schedule. The afternoon class was the Defense Against the Dark Arts class that she had been dreaming about. Professor Emerson was better. Although his family was in decline, he was still funny and humorous.
In the Defense Against Dark Arts classroom, everyone is whispering among themselves about what magical creatures Professor Emerson will bring today and how to combat them.
"Pap~"
The door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom was pushed open, and the sound of striding footsteps made Hope frown. Why did these footsteps sound so familiar? It seemed that he couldn't find the target.
Curious, Hope turned to look at the people who came in. A huge 'bad luck' walked towards the podium. After reaching the podium, he put the textbook on the desk and said coldly: "Your Professor Emerson will deal with them." The house is in a mess, so I will take over this class."
Yes, the person who came was none other than Professor Snape. Hope had a drooped face and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. Snape seemed to have noticed Hope's eyes and looked towards Hope.
Snape raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said in the direction of Hope: "Mr. Lloyd, which foot did you enter the classroom first today?"
Hope was so angry that he was shaking all over. It's not over, right? Chasing and killing?
Seeing Hope's delay in answering, Professor Snape said sternly: "Ignore the professor's question, five points from Hufflepuff!"
In the evening, after a day of devastation, Hope sat quietly at the table in the hall eating dinner. As he ate, he pounded the table angrily and murmured, "No, he must be sick."
The sudden knocking sound startled the Hufflepuff wizards who were eating around them. Fortunately, there were many people eating in the hall. The discussion made the hall a little noisy. Hope's sound of slamming the table did not reach the other deans' tables. .
Hope, who was getting more and more angry as she thought about it, accidentally looked at the crystal on the wall of the hall that recorded the house points. At this time, Hufflepuff was first, Ravenclaw was second, Slytherin was third, and Gryffindor was third. Four.
Originally, Hufflepuff was ahead of Ravenclaw by a quarter. Slytherin and Gryffindor had deducted a lot of points due to the previous fight. But now, after a series of operations by Professor Snape, Hufflepuff has already There was no lead left, and Slytherin was almost catching up to Ravenclaw.
The evil-hearted Snape not only wanted to retaliate against him maliciously, he also wanted to get involved in the Academy Cup.
Hope figured it out and left the hall without eating. He was just a student and had no way to stop Professor Snape from deducting points from him, but he couldn't just watch his points being deducted, so he chose to sue teacher.
Arriving all the way to Professor Sprout's office, Professor Sprout unexpectedly looked at Hope who came to see him, and Hope looked angry.
Professor Sprout asked gently: "Why, little Hope, is she being bullied?"
Hope took a deep breath, thought for a moment and said, "Professor Sprout, have you noticed the college points? We were originally one section ahead of the second-placed Ravenclaw, but now the advantage is gone. Now, Ravenclaw will overtake us at any time."
Professor Sprout thought that Hope was angry because another little wizard had points deducted and the college might not win the Academy Cup, so he came to her and asked her to discipline the naughty little wizard. However, Professor Sprout always believed that The little wizard should be happy at school.
Because Hufflepuff was either the last or the second last, she always turned a blind eye to small mistakes.
However, the little badgers of Hufflepuff are very good this year, especially Hope, who has given Hufflepuff a lot of points and has maintained the first position for almost the whole school year. Maybe she can discipline it a little bit. This year it is indeed Very hopeful to win the Academy Cup.
So Professor Sprout patted Hope on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Don't worry Hope, I will strengthen the management of Hufflepuff, and we will also win a College Cup this year!"
Hope was stunned. He was a little overwhelmed by Professor Sprout's sudden solemnity, but this was what he wanted.
Hope changed her tone: "What if someone doesn't want us Hufflepuffs to win the House Cup?"
Professor Sprout frowned, I don’t have to take the Academy Cup, but you can’t steal it. She said seriously: “Who doesn’t want us to win the Academy Cup?”
"I suspect I'm being targeted..." Hope elaborated on the fact that Professor Snape deducted points from him today. For the sake of truth, he squeezed out two tears.
Professor Sprout's face became colder and colder as he listened. He gently touched Hope's little head and said, "I'm going to find Minerva. You go back first. If it's true as you said, I will go to find Minerva." Let’s have a good chat, Nep.”
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Hope nodded heavily and watched Professor Sprout leave.
For example, when a professor, prefect or student council deducts points from a certain college, it will be recorded. The content of the record is which college has been deducted a few points for what reason. This is used to prevent points from being brushed between colleges. Originally, the principal was in charge, but Dumbledore was a good principal who could delegate power, so this job fell into the hands of Professor McGonagall.
However, Professor McGonagall is extremely busy every day, and she cannot bear to see so many bonus points and subtractions from the college every day. Moreover, she firmly believes that the professor will not target anyone because of his own selfish desires, which also gives Snape an opportunity to take advantage of. .
Hope, who was in a good mood, came to the secret base and continued to make today's defense bracelets. After yesterday's production, everyone also gained experience, so the production of the bracelets was sped up a lot.
After enchanting the bracelets made yesterday, Hope studied how to simplify the production of upgraded defense bracelets. He planned to sell the upgraded version to the Ministry of Magic after making this batch of ordinary bracelets.
The regular version can be sold for 20 gold galleons each, but the upgraded version can be sold for 50 gold galleons each. However, the price is too high and the Ministry of Magic may not be able to buy many.
At noon the next day, after finishing class, Hope was blocked by a silver-white kitten. Hope could tell at a glance that it was a patron saint. The silver-white kitten said: "Mr. Lloyd, please excuse me." Come to the vice principal’s office.”
After saying that, the kitten disappeared into the air.
No need to think about it, Professor Sprout must have gone to see Professor McGonagall yesterday to see the results of the deduction record.
