Hope came to the vice-principal's office as scheduled. Professor McGonagall, Professor Sprout and Professor Snape were all there. As soon as he opened the door, Professor Snape looked at him with a sinister look on his face.
But he didn't panic at all. His dean, Professor Sprout, was here, and there was also the vice-principal, Professor McGonagall. How could a mere Snape turn the world upside down?
At the door, Hope deliberately stretched out his right foot and looked for a long time before entering, as if to say, Professor, look at my right foot, which came in first. Professor Snape was so angry that he turned his head and stopped looking at him.
Professor Sprout didn't say anything when he saw this, and suppressed the raised corners of his mouth. Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and didn't say much.
When Hope came up to him, Professor McGonagall said very formally: "I'm very sorry Mr. Lloyd, you have been treated unfairly due to the selfish desires of some professors. From now on, all points added and deducted by Professor Snape will be carried out." I will personally check the separate written application. I wonder if Mr. Lloyd is satisfied with this handling?"
Hearing this, Hope was startled, and he began to imagine Professor Snape's funny look while writing the application form and shouting when he would deduct points in the future.
He almost laughed out loud, but he quickly suppressed it and said seriously: "Thank you Professor McGonagall for your fair ruling. I am very satisfied."
Then Professor McGonagall looked at Snape and said, "Mr. Snape, do you have any objections?"
Although Snape wanted to refute, McGonagall and Sprout stared at him. The most important thing was that he deducted too many points from Gryffindor. Professor McGonagall seemed to have discovered the clue, and finally He gritted his teeth and said, "No objection."
Professor Sprout on the side coughed lightly. Professor McGonagall's eyebrows jumped when he heard it. He no longer looked serious and said with a smile: "The official business is done. Although I can't cancel the deduction of points from the professor, in view of the Mr. Lloyd reported meritoriously, and Hufflepuff will receive 50 points."
After deducting the 25 points that Professor Snape deducted from him today, he still earned 25 points. Hope said humbly: "Thank you, Professor McGonagall."
"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can go back first." Professor McGonagall pointed to the magic lamp on the table and said, "Thank you for your Christmas gift, I like it very much."
She still had a lot of things to do. Dumbledore had made a mistake again, and the accumulated work fell on her head again.
After saying that, Snape immediately turned around and left, but Hope felt that he was limping. Hope curiously asked Professor Sprout beside him: "What's wrong with Professor Snape?"
Professor Sprout coughed lightly: "I'll give him some biting cabbage."
Hope gave a thumbs up, good job, it can make the master of black magic Snape overwhelmed and injured. It seems that Professor Sprout has given him a lot.
After five days of being in a happy mood, Hope found that the professors gave him extra points more often. Questions that could have been answered by other little wizards were basically answered by Hope. It seemed that during Christmas, he The magic lamp balls given to the professors were not given in vain.
The current Hufflepuff house points are far ahead, even if they don't have the extra points to win the Quidditch Cup, they are still stable.
The most important thing is that the defense bracelet has been completed. The temptation of money has made everyone enthusiastic, especially George and Fred. After becoming familiar with the carving process, they have exerted the effect of one plus one is greater than two. The quantity produced by the two of them More than two-thirds of the total.
This makes Mateo very depressed. He has been learning sculpture since he was seven years old, but he is actually as fast as the two brothers.
After enchanting the bracelet and checking that there were no problems one by one, Hope wrote a letter to his father asking how to deliver the goods. He did not dare to ask the owl to deliver the goods directly. The goods worth two thousand gold Galleons were in case they were robbed. What to do?
The reply came quickly. The letter sent in the morning was answered in the afternoon. When he opened the envelope, Joey said that he could just ask Seol Ya to send it directly.
Hope scratched his little head. He was so arrogant. Aren't he afraid of losing it halfway? It's strange to say that the wizards seem to trust the owls too much. It's like the things he ordered before were also delivered by owls. Maybe these trained owls have some magic spell on them. The wizards who intercept the owls will be caught. ?
Without thinking too much, Hope packed the defense bracelets he had made, and also packaged the five upgraded defense bracelets he had made in the past few days and put them in separately. After that, he wrote another letter introducing the upgrade. version of the defense bracelet, and asked his father to withdraw 500 gold galleons in cash, not to put it all in the treasury, because he wanted to pay wages.
After getting ready, Hope patted Xue Ya. Xue Ya rolled her eyes at him and sighed, "I just came back. Why didn't you give me a gift last time?" Let me run again. '
Seeing Xue Ya staring blankly at him and not moving the package, Hope thought it was because Xue Ya thought the package was too heavy to fly. Hope said, "Don't worry, I cast a weight-reducing spell, so it's not heavy."
Xue Ya didn't say anything, she flew up, grabbed the package and left. After leaving, she left a message: "Gurgoo meow! (Sabi)"
Hope:o_O
The next morning, today was the weekend, and Hope didn't get up early. Since it was dinner time, Hope didn't go to the kitchen to disturb the house elves, but came to the hall to have breakfast.
The breakfast at Hogwarts is not very rich compared to the main meal, but there are still cereals, rolls, orange juice, kippers, eggs and bacon, toast, buttered jam bread, corn flakes and so on. You can choose the type, but they are all high-energy things.
It's not unreasonable for little wizards to doze off during class in the morning.
Hope simply sandwiched bacon and fried eggs with two slices of buttered jam bread to make a sandwich and ate it with oatmeal.
Not long after, a bunch of owls flew in. For some unknown reason, the owls followed the custom of English postmen and would choose to deliver newspapers or unhurried express mail in the morning.
In addition, owls have the habit of delivering letters directly to the addressee, so every time you have breakfast, there will always be a large number of owls dropping letters like an air raid. If you are not careful, your breakfast may be ruined.
But Hope didn't panic at all. He didn't subscribe to the daily newspaper. He felt that it was useless to have more of it, so he always rubbed Mateo's favor. Xue Ya couldn't find him when she delivered the letter before, so she angrily gave him He gave it to the dormitory. So Hope wasn't worried at all about being messed up by the owl.
Just when Hope finished his sandwich and drank his cereal contentedly, a square package hit him hard on the head. Hope's face was suddenly buried in the cereal. His funny look made the whole hall angry. People laughed.
The furious Hope immediately pulled out her wand, wanting to see who didn't have eyes. Didn't she know that the little badger was famous for holding grudges?
Looking up, Xue Ya rolled her eyes at him from the window and flew away.
Hope rubbed his head, looked at Xue Ya who was flying away angrily, and complained speechlessly in his heart: Owls also have a rebellious period. Are they so rebellious that they don't give the dormitory to me?
He wiped his face and opened the package sent by Xue Ya. It was full of five hundred gold galleons. Fortunately, there was a weight loss spell on the package, otherwise he would have to go to the hospital.
