Chapter 47: Heroes or Thieves

McGonagall rushed in, no doubt a professor worthy of the respect of every student, aware of the dangers she might encounter, but she was obligated to do so for the sake of her students.

People who are too upright, although they will be disdained, but they will still have some yearning for such people in their hearts.

Even though we can't be like that, and even though we disdain to be like that, that doesn't stop us from paying homage to such people.

The professors in the school, Dumbledore and Snape, were too selfish, they were heroes but not qualified teachers. As for the other professors, Pomona Sprout in the Herbology class, Philius Flitwick in Charms, Professor Cuthbert Binns in the History of Magic, and Rolanda Hooch in the Flying Class, they are all excellent teachers, but they are all people who know how to protect themselves, and they all have a lot of flaws.

Of course, the same goes for Professor Minerva McGonagall. She also has a little bit of selfishness, but when faced with students, she chooses to protect her students rather than push them out to take risks. That alone was worth Sephiroth's bow to her.

Sephiroth is not trying to boast about anyone, but the personality of Minerva McGonagall is a professor who no one can fault in the whole of Hogwarts.

The Weasley twins are often criticized by Professor McGonagall for being mischievous, but if anyone wants to take Professor McGonagall's place, I'm afraid they will be the first to refuse.

She is an impartial mentor who treats all four houses equally. Without thinking of taking advantage of students, not luring students into danger, and being strict with each of her students, Minerva McGonagall threw almost all of her efforts into Hogwarts school.

It can be said that her personality is very similar to Hermione, just like Hermione who has gone through many ups and downs when she grew up. Just as crisp, straightforward, intelligent, and capable.

That's why Professor McGonagall, even though she joined the Order of the Phoenix, was not of the same mind as Dumbledore. She was Dumbledore's staunchest supporter simply because he was on the side of justice. Because he was too upright, he wouldn't agree with Dumbledore's methods of exploiting students.

Sephiroth leaned against the cold stone wall, and the genetic samples he had just cut off from Louwe's body were enough to breed the three-headed dog.

At this moment, he was staring fixedly at the dark and empty aisle, waiting for someone to arrive. Naturally, the person he was waiting for would not be Draco, or the other professors that Draco had recruited, but the Headmaster, Dumbledore.

Dumbledore was watching, there was no doubt about it. He couldn't have actually flown to the Ministry of Magic on a broomstick, and with the Floo Net.

The most likely thing is that he lied to Minerva, who himself has been hiding somewhere to observe the situation.

Now, Professor McGonagall has barged in.

Although it is not known what Dumbledore is paying attention to, it will definitely disrupt his layout, so Dumbledore will definitely rush over. It is worth mentioning that Sephiroth did not intend to help Voldemort by doing this, and the Dark Lord even had his brain cut and could not communicate at all.

It wasn't long before Dumbledore's snow-white hair appeared in the dark aisle.

"Mr. Sterling, may you tell me, what are you doing here? If I'm not old enough to be blind, this is not the place you should be. ”

Dumbledore smiled at Sephiroth and asked, his gentle voice as if he were asking if he had eaten dinner.

"Oh! Of course, I knew it was a no-go area, and I wasn't going to get close to it. However, when I heard that a gang of despicable thugs was attempting to steal the school's treasures, I immediately told Mr. Malfoy to look for the professor, and I myself needed to watch here lest the gangsters slip away. ”、

"But you don't need to worry, Professor, Professor McGonagall was already in before you came, and she's going to catch those dastardly thieves."

Although he longed for Sephiroth, a nosy guy, to disappear quickly, Dumbledore naturally wouldn't directly tear his face and say that this was his true purpose. Since the old fox intends to talk about him left and right, then the little fox can naturally pull the matter back casually.

"Really? Thanks to Mr. Sterling for his excellent performance in protecting the school's treasures, Slytherin added 50 points. However, it's dangerous here, and if those people rush out, they might hurt you. Now that the professor has arrived, leave it to the professor to deal with it. Mr. Sterling, I think on this cold night, perhaps you miss the beds in the lounge even more. ”

Dumbledore had to send Sephiroth away, and once Harry and them were found out in front of Sephiroth, then Harry and his gang would be killed for stealing the school's treasures, not to mention adding points to Gryffindor, not to mention expelling Harry Potter.

Don't say anything about Potter protecting the school's treasures, judging from the scene, for whatever reason, Potter violated the school rules and was caught.

Poking yourself out afterwards and being caught red-handed are two different concepts.

In the former, Dumbledore can rely on his prestige to turn bad things into good things and gangsters into heroes, while in the latter, even Dumbledore can't be too partial to Potter and can only punish him.

Moreover, Sephiroth was not wrong in what he did. Even if someone is found trying to steal the treasure, they should notify the professor like Sephiroth did, rather than stealing the treasure yourself.

Although Harry and his party were secretly guided and manipulated by Dumbledore, they were indeed wrong in terms of behavior.

Dumbledore's announcement afterwards would have allowed him to glorify their actions as warriors guarding the treasure in words, when in reality they couldn't hide the fact that Harry was just a gang of thieves.

Dumbledore was a little annoyed, and had to admit that Sephiroth had just choked their seven inches.

"That's not good, Professor, I've been ordered to wait here for the next professor to arrive."

Sephiroth flatly refused, how could he leave it alone at this time, didn't this give Dumbledore time to manipulate the facts?

"I'll leave it to me here, and the students should go and rest at this time. The truth, this is a beautiful and scary thing that needs to be approached with extreme caution. ”

Dumbledore raised his voice, exhorting in a tone that resembled a warning. He didn't want his jihua to be disrupted, so Sephiroth had to leave.

Pure-blood nobles have always been a thorn in Dumbledore's heart, and they have blocked him every time. Dumbledore's dislike of Slytherin's pure-blood wizards has long been a well-known thing, which is why Weishenme has been so popular until now, and there are no Slytherin pure-blood wizards to join him.

"No, Professor!" Given the staring back of Dumbledore's serious eyes, Sephiroth did not flinch, but pushed back even more resolutely.

"You are the most powerful wizard of all, and you should go in and support Professor McGonagall than stay here, and there is no one better suited to this than you. I think I should stay here more than you. And I believe that truth is the most basic right of every human being. ”

Look, what a glorious reason.

Don't worry about me, go in and support Professor McGonagall, I'll keep an eye on the gate and let anyone run away.

A lot of times that's the case, and while both sides know what's going on, both sides need this fig leaf to serve certain purposes. If the fig leaf is removed, both parties will directly tear their faces, and when they can't afford this price, it's best to communicate through the fig leaf.

Although Dumbledore was a little reluctant, time did not allow him to linger too long. The sound of footsteps not far away revealed that in a dozen seconds, another group of professors would arrive.

It's too late. Dumbledore was helpless, he was caught off guard by Sephiroth, and by the time he came to his senses, there wasn't enough time left for him.

"Sephiroth, I'm here with the other professors."

Draco trotted back to Sephiroth's side.

The corridors of the castle were not allowed to run, but now no one bothered to accuse him, teaching them more important things to do.

"Somebody went in, didn't he? Mr. Malfoy, do you see who it is? ”

The door was wide open, and Lu Wei, who was as stiff as a stone statue, saw this messy appearance, and the professors who came here understood what was happening.

"It's Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, we overheard them talking about stealing the contents, we thought it was just a joke, but we didn't expect it to be true. We regret not stopping them in the first place. ”

Before Draco could speak, Sephiroth spoke with a sad look on his face. If it weren't for Sephiroth pulling him along, then I'm afraid Draco would have been deceived by his superb acting skills.

"Oh, Merlin. How dare they ......"

Professor Flitwick took a deep breath and asked in disbelief, only to be interrupted before he could finish his sentence.

"A bunch of brainless stupid lions, what would they not dare. Wherever their stupidity can be highlighted, they can be seen. Now you have nothing to say, if I do, you should fire them. You can't give them too much leniency, it's going to be a bad start. ”

Snape strode forward, his black cloak shaking like a wave, and he looked like he was walking fast, but there was no sound at his feet, like a ghost.

"No, Severus. We haven't figured out what happened yet, and we can't jump to conclusions. They're just kids who need to be treated with tolerance, and maybe it's just a little adventure for them. ”

Snape snorted heavily through his large, pointed nose at Dumbledore's words to express his displeasure and disdain.

However, he didn't say much, and acquiesced to Dumbledore's explanation.

"I think we'd better go in first and catch the little trolls and bring them out before they mess up the mess inside."

Although he was not usually kind to Harry, Sephiroth knew that he was probably the one who was most worried about Harry's safety among so many people here.

Tsundere is cute when placed on a cute girl, which will make people feel loved; But if it is put on a man's body, it will only make people sick. With such an awkward character, it's no wonder that Lily Evans and him were good friends at the beginning, but Zuihou was cut off by a man who Lily hated for 5 years.
