The Quidditch match was finally over, and Harry was out of danger and won glory, but Neville was in trouble.

Having waited in the toilet until the game was over, Neville found Snape waiting at the door, and looked like he had been waiting for a while.

Snape glared at Neville coldly and said, "Dumbledore is looking for you, come with me." ”

At this moment, Neville's joy was gone, like falling into an ice cave.

Whether it was Gryffindor in celebration, an indignant Slytherin, or the other two House students playing soy sauce, no one noticed that Dumbledore had quietly left not long after the match.

In the Headmaster's room, Dumbledore sat in his chair, peering through the half-moon lenses at Neville sitting in front of him. For Dumbledore, it had been quite a long time since he had observed the students in the school so closely, so he looked very carefully, very carefully, not letting go of the slightest detail change.

Such an observation is simply terrible for Neville.

He looked down at the table, his face was full of nervousness and apprehension, he didn't even dare to breathe, and there was silence in the principal's room.

The tranquility didn't last long, but Neville felt like a year.

"Don't be nervous. ”

Dumbledore spoke, his tone calm, "I came to you today just to figure out one thing. After a pause, he asked, "Do you know what happened when one of the tower stands at the Quidditch pitch collapsed today?"

[He...... Got it all?]

Neville's body trembled slightly, but it was as if a large stone had been dropped in his heart. Slowly raising his head to meet Dumbledore's gaze, he nodded slightly.

"That's what I did. ”

"Oh?"

Dumbledore's eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked at Neville, who was not completely calm in his heart, but his eyes were unusually firm and clear, nodded with interest, and said, "You are very honest, this is good." ”

Neville looked at Dumbledore in bewilderment, completely unaware of what he meant by "good".

Dumbledore glanced at the wall clock on the wall, clapped his hands, and said, "Alright, it looks like our chat can end early." Mr. Longbottom, now you can leave, Gryffindor is now celebrating their victory, and your friends should be looking for you now, but don't let them worry for too long. ”

"Huh?"

Neville didn't react, looking blankly at Dumbledore and pointing at himself, "You mean I can leave?"

Dumbledore smiled and said, "If my memory hadn't regressed, that's exactly what I said." ”

"But......" Although he had wished he could escape from the headmaster's office a few minutes ago, there were some things that were not clear, and Neville always felt that something was not going well, "I brought down the tower, shouldn't I be punished heavily?"

"You want to be heavily fined?"

"No!" Neville shook his head, "but I thought you were going to punish me heavily, but it turned out to be ......"

"There are no rules at Hogwarts about the penalties for a student who knocks down the tower stands of a Quidditch pitch, and even if I am the Headmaster, I cannot take any other punishment against a student who has not violated the school rules. ”

As Dumbledore said this, he glanced at the empty space to Neville's left, as if to mean something, "At present, the school rules you violated should be vandalism, corresponding to the deduction of points and labor penalties......"

Hearing that the points were going to be deducted, Neville regretted talking a little too much, if he hadn't said those few words, maybe he could have left the principal's office in style now. At this moment, he could only bite the bullet and say to Dumbledore: "Well, can you not deduct points, it's okay to increase the labor punishment." ”

"Yes. Dumbledore readily agreed, "I won't deduct your points, but you'll help Hagrid repair the tower." The next Quidditch match is after Christmas, so if you want to go home at Christmas, be sure to hurry. ”

Although Neville didn't know much about repairing things, it sounded like it was just a physical job, and it didn't seem to be difficult to re-erect the towers and replace the wooden planks that had been removed.

Thinking of this, Neville felt that this was a mercy on the part of Dumbledore's men, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Headmaster!"

After receiving the punishment and nothing else, Neville looked at the wall clock on the wall, and it was better to leave now, not to disturb the principal's work.

"Goodbye, Headmaster. ”

"Goodbye. ”

Neville left the Headmaster's office in a huff, and not long after he closed the door, four people appeared in the Headmaster's room, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, and Snape, the four Headmasters of Hogwarts who had been in attendance from the beginning.

Dumbledore folded his hands on the table and said, "Tell me what you think." ”

Snape looked at Dumbledore with great dissatisfaction and sneered, "I think he should be expelled, but he almost killed half of the teachers at Hogwarts." ”

As the head of the rival head of Slytherin House, Professor McGonagall would not agree with Snape's words at this time, even if he felt that Dumbledore's punishment was too light.

"I agree with the principal, with the outcome of your disposition. ”

Dumbledore set his sights on Flitwick and Sprout, a short, stocky and kind aunt with gray hair.

"I'm okay with that. "He's a good boy, he's helpful, he's helped me a few times, and I'm sure he's not a hopelessly bad boy, and we should give him full trust and tolerance." ”

"Humph!"

Snape was very upset that two deans in a row chose to take light punishments, but what made him even more unhappy was still to come.

"Neville, I remember him, the kid was very nice. Professor Sprout didn't seem to see Snape's grim face as he stood across from him, "He probably wouldn't do such a thing, would we? We'd better investigate it so that we don't blame the kid." ”

Sprout was a professor of herbology, and she was still very impressed with Neville, who was a very well-behaved, honest, obedient, and studious student. So even though she was only tending to the herbs in the greenhouse during the Quidditch match, and had no idea what Neville was doing, she chose to support Neville without thinking about it.

Wronged?

Snape's expression at this time was extremely exciting, and his heart was also very aggrieved, at that time, he was taking care of the heavy responsibility of saving people, when the platform collapsed and his curse was forced to be interrupted, he really even had the heart to kill!

That second thing with only muscles in the head!

Well, even if he hit the right thing and broke the man's curse, but now he just wants to hold him accountable and severely punish him for venting his evil anger, but a group of old immortals who stand and talk without backache are so blatantly shielding and favoring that person.

FU. CK！

He's your own grandson, huh?

No matter how unhappy Snape was, the matter could only end here, four to one, not to mention that Dumbledore still had a veto.

However, after this incident, Snape was afraid that his hatred for Neville was on par with Harry's.

Neville didn't tell his friends all about it, because he thought it might give the others the misconception that Dumbledore was a good man, we broke the school rules to our heart's content, and we were children anyway, so we wouldn't be punished heavily.

With that, Harry suddenly asked Neville a question.

"Neville, do you know Nicol Lemay?"

"Huh?"

Neville was stunned for a moment, then furrowed his eyebrows, flipped out his notebook, flipped through it for a moment under the gazes of others, either surprised or expectant, raised his head, and said:

"I know. ”
