Chapter 051: Colin is petrified

"You can be with him now, but you'll always grow up—" Madam Pomfrey walked to the windowsill and pushed it open hard, "you'll meet your beloved, marry him, have children, and run your own home...... "When that happens," she said looking back at the red-haired girl, "will you remember Severus taking care and pampering you?" ”

"I don't know!" The red-haired girl was stunned for a long time before answering, and although she knew that Madam Pomfrey was really trying to ask about Lily Evans, who was almost identical in appearance to her, Catherine really didn't know if she would repeat the path she had taken.

"I'm sorry! Catherine! Madam Pomfrey suddenly apologized, "I took you for Evans just now." ”

"You're not the first, and you won't be the last." Catherine smiled, "No one can know what the future holds, not even true prophetic masters, who can determine the path of time. She looked down at Snape, "The only thing we can do is to prevent the same tragedy from happening again." ”

Madam Pomfrey looked at Catherine in astonishment, she seemed to see a new future in the girl, but the beautiful scene was gone in a flash, and by the time she concentrated, her familiar appearance had been restored.

"Rustle!" The drizzle of rain crackled against the windowsill, and Madam Pomfrey hurriedly turned and closed the window, and then hurried off to inspect the other patients, Snape's room was quiet again, and Catherine began to read the book again, only the two of them clasped hands tighter.

"Catherine!" The quiet atmosphere was quickly shattered by Draco's shouting, "We win!" ”

"Shh Catherine put down her book and raised her left hand in a silent motion.

"Sorry! Isn't the godfather awake yet? Draco was drenched and his hair was all over his head, and it was obvious that he had run over as soon as the game was over.

"Nope!" Catherine took out her wand and helped Draco dry his clothes, "Tell me about the game, did you catch the Golden Snitch?" ”

"Hmm!" Draco opened his clenched right hand, revealing a small golden ball with curled wings, "Potter was completely stupid, he didn't expect me to catch it before him." ”

"That's because it was just a few inches above your left ear," Brace's sarcastic voice rang out in the doorway, "but you didn't even notice at the time, and it was Flint who reminded you." ”

"It doesn't matter!" Draco smirked and touched his left ear, "I caught it in the end, anyway." ”

"Draco is amazing!" Pansy, who followed Blaise into the ward, rushed to the side of Young Master Platinum as soon as possible, holding his left hand with an expression full of adoration.

"I wish the godfather could see it with his own eyes right now!" Draco "drags" Pansy to Catherine, "I wonder when he'll wake up?" ”

"Isn't Professor Snape awake yet?" Hermione's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and the brown-haired girl dragged her two friends in.

"What are you doing here?" Draco glared at his opponent in displeasure.

"Can't you get in the way of your eyes!" Ron said angrily.

"Shut up! Ron! Hermione turned around and laughed at the Slytherins, "We've come to see Professor Snape, I heard he'll wake up today." ”

"You're so kind! I just came to visit today! Brace sneered coldly.

"Hermione comes every day." Catherine smiled and defended her friend, "It's just that Blaise and Pansy didn't run into her." ”

The two named looked at Draco in surprise, then at Hermione in surprise when he nodded, until they saw her flushed face before looking away.

"What about you?" Pansy looked at the two boys behind Hermione.

"I don't think Snape—the professor allowed me to stay around him, even if he wasn't awake." Harry glared at Delako's right hand, clearly haunted by the fact that he had just lost.

"You're self-aware—" Delako's cold snort was abruptly interrupted by Catherine.

"Quiet!" Catherine suddenly shouted, "The professor seems to be waking up." ”

The room fell silent, and all the children looked at Snape, and sure enough, his eyes were twitching slightly.

"Godfather!" Draco called softly, and Snape seemed to hear him, suddenly opening his eyes and shooting two yellow rays of light.

"Get down on your stomach!"

Catherine suddenly shouted, pulled Delaco to the ground, and fell with Pansy, and the other children thought of what happened on Halloween Eve, and immediately did so, and the portraits of the ward were already aware of what was happening to Snape, and immediately ran away as soon as they saw the light in his eyes, and only one person in the entire ward was still standing, and the newly awake Potions Professor was naturally attracted by it.

"Click!"

As soon as they heard this voice, everyone immediately understood who this warrior was, and when they followed the voice, they saw Colin's stiff figure holding a camera, apparently trying to secretly take a picture of Snape just awake.

"Which academy is this death-seeking idiot from?" Snape's first words when he woke up were a merciless curse.

"Gryffindor." Delako, who was watching in amazement as Catherine ran to check on Colin, risked her own safety, and then heard Snape's deduction.

"Gryffindor deducts 100 points." Snape frowned and propped himself up.

"You've killed him! You also deduct his points! Harry shouted angrily.

"He's not supposed to be dead." Catherine took the camera from between Colin's stiff fingers, pried open its back cover, and a hot air sizzled out of it, filling the room with a pungent smell of burning plastic, "The camera keeps him from looking directly into Professor Snape's gaze." ”

"It's horrible!" Pansy suddenly shouted in horror, "The death stare of the basilisk is terrifying! ”

Snape glanced at Pansy in displeasure, screaming in terror as she ducked behind Delako.

"What's going on?" Madam Pomfrey barged in, and when she saw Snape sitting down, she smiled, "Severus, it's great that you're finally awake." She pushed away the student in front of her and walked briskly to the bedside, "Here, let me check it for you." ”

"You'd better take a look at that idiot first!" Snape glanced in Colin's direction, "I didn't control my strength when I first woke up, and this fool didn't know how to dodge!" Luckily, he also knew how to block his eyes with a camera. "Even if the person who is at fault is himself, he should not be expected to be a victim of morality.

"O Merlin! This silly boy! Madam Pomfrey hurried up to Colin to check on him, "Quick! Go and call Dumbledore. She shouted up at the portrait.

The portrait in the hospital room answered, and just as he was about to leave, Dumbledore and the other three headmasters ran in.

"Severus, you're finally awake?" The first to ask questions was Dumbledore.

"Why do you deduct 100 Gryffindor points as soon as you wake up?" Then Professor McGonagall asked.

"Is something happening?" This was followed by Professor Sprout's nervous inquiry.

"What's the matter with this kid?" The last to speak was Professor Flitwick.

The four professors who had just come in immediately gathered around Colin and checked on him.

"So Professor Snape is the reason why you're deducting so many points," Hermione looked at Hogwarts' most annoying Slytherin head in surprise, "so that the Headmaster and the other three Headmasters could come over immediately!" ”

"It's just my responsibility!" Snape lifted the covers and prepared to get out of bed, when Catherine hurried over to him and grabbed his hand.

"Every professor at Hogwarts took office with an oath to protect every student!" Dumbledore scrutinized Colin through the lenses of his half-moon glasses, his slender fingers poking here and there.

"So no one professor can hurt a student, because Hogwarts doesn't allow it." Professor McGonagall bent over, squinting at it, her face almost touching Colin.

"And what's the point deduction?" Brace asked curiously.

"There is a limit to the point deduction system at Hogwarts." Professor Sprout clutched the clothes on his chest and looked at Colin breathlessly, his outstretched hand quickly retracting as it touched him.

"As soon as it exceeds 50 points, Hogwarts will automatically notify the Headmaster and the four Headmasters." Professor Flitwick frowned, snapping his fingers over cases similar to Colin's, trying to discern what had happened to him.

"Since — Professor Snape is here to inform you at once," Ron asked cautiously, "can the points that were deducted be added back?" ”

"Absolutely." Madam Pomfrey waved her hand vigorously, as if she was ready to chase the children away, "As long as three of the five of them don't agree, the deduction just now won't be valid." ”

The three Gryffindor students' hanging hearts relaxed slightly, and then they focused on their juniors. Dumbledore was muttering strange incantations and tapping Colin with his wand, but there was no response, as if he were just a freshly carved statue.

"He's just petrified." Dumbledore finally straightened up and concluded, "Luckily, Pomona recently got some mandrakes, and once they were ripe, Severus was able to brew a potion to restore Colin to its original state. ”

"Great." All the students breathed a sigh of relief.

"Also, please keep this matter a secret for the time being, after all, we haven't found the man yet......" Dumbledore could finish his sentence when Snape interrupted him.

"Someone has touched the vigilance magic I have arranged!" Snape looked up in the direction of Myrtle's bathroom, and Douglas suddenly climbed up to the back of his left hand and hissed, "That person is calling me!" 】

"Douglas, please go see that guy at once." After listening to Catherine's simultaneous translation, Dumbledore immediately made arrangements, "If the other party asks you to enter the castle, please follow this route tonight." ”

The tip of Dumbledore's staff conjured up many thin lines, converging into a three-dimensional road map, which Catherine immediately explained to Douglas.

【Okay!】 Douglas answered, changed back to the ring, and the room fell silent.

"Go back first!" Professor McGonagall looked at the second-year students present, but they all shook their heads resolutely.

"It's better to let them stay here than for them to run around." Dumbledore spoke, and the second-year students immediately nodded their heads in delight.
